COMICS |OT| September 2016. Comics Should Be Good.
- Thread starter Tyrant Rave
- Start date
I was hyped for the book but stopped pre-ordering future issues when the new format was announced, the first issue definitely did not change my mind. What there was supposed to win me over? The barfing? Because to me it seems like they settled on an objective that wasn't to win me over, but to exist. There is a Suicide Squad book on the market, it's not terribly written. Sure, not much happens, but the cover has Harley and that's what people wanted so we're calling it a win. So it only has a 12 page main story, you can buy another issue later this month, so now the reader is a winner too.
Again.... as soon as Jim Lee's gone then we can get a fully fleshed out story. I can't think Rob Williams is happy that he has to split up scripts and accommodate Lee. I can't believe the writer of Unfollow and Martian Manhunter would give us something of a let down, so I'm holding on to hope.

God damn. I don't think I've ever read an angry Sillymonkey review.

What if Emma comes back but not the Cookoos
Then we will know that her plan has come to fruition and she has absorbed them all to gain their power.
Don't say this
Remember when one of them changed hairstyles and they had a shitfit lol

It was alright, I didn't hate it. I'd rather they showed them having fun at the mall instead of fighting Apocalypse though.

The Gamestop variant is the worst. I think the "1st Mission!" one is the best.

It was fine, not as bad as reviews made it out to be. I saw it about two weeks ago and don't remember much about it now. Mostly, I was just glad it was a quiet cinema since I was kind of nervous about going out at night (film was rated 15A here so no daytime showings at the local cinema).
I want to see Kubo and the Two Strings, since it finally came out here, but the local cinema doesn't have it and I don't have a day to spare next week to get to the city. Sucks.
Social media-styled covers? Man, I like Mark Waid, but this book is going to be so "How do you do fellow kids?" it hurts.
We still have Black Widow I guess. Or is that cancelled? Avengers should be good as well.

Gamestop has Comics?
They only sell the variants that are exclusive to them. Or you can use PowerUp Reward points to get it.

Which used to be alright the first time they did it, now they have so many no one gives a shit anymore.
For marvel probably. Harley #1 got 50, batman #1 got 100.

This from one Snapchat cover? That is the actual most popular social media channel for that age group? That's perfectly replicated?
Yeesh.
I dunno, Archie shows Waid can still get kids these days
MOAR VARIANTS! That don't look awful.
For those wondering, Anka did the Porpoisescope cover.

I don't know what Snapchat is. I know of it, but I don't know what happens there.
Only in my case, I was never with it in the first place.

Waid's work on Archie gives me a lot of faith in Champions
i also really need to read some Totally Awesome Hulk at some point
seriously... if you're going to complain about an older author failing to be 'in touch', you need to know what you're talking about.

Oh yeah, for those who didn't know that Hawkman and Adam Strange min by Marc Andreyko and Aaron Loprestihas been revealed to be now titled The "Death of Hawkman". The summary on this page, http://http://www.previewsworld.com/Article/183704-Death-of-Hawkman-Revealed-As-True-Name-of-October-DC-Miniseries, has me very intrigued. I also heard he did a few great Black Lightning and Blue Devil issues.
I think that has fallen out of style.
individuality is where it's at
plus that would be super lame
i'm looking forward to the book because quite frankly I'm getting tired of the older characters bullshit

Oh I don't know about that. Pretty sure I know pandering when I see it. But eh, it's just a variant.
I still think we're going to get Strange Fruit Waid on this book and not Archie Waid though. The preview was bleh but I'll give it a chance.
Thankfully

I think the last Andreyko thing I liked was this:
I remember thinking quite well of him before that too, Manhunter, did not enjoy his run on Batwoman at all though, not one little bit

There wasn't much there from a writing standpoint, but the preview looked good to me. Modern Waid has done more good than bad in my eyes.

His daredevil work alone guarantees he can still knock out great work. Look forward to Black Widow hitting trade!
We know that they will call themselves that.

Anyone else think they maybe drew Kamala a little too sexy for her age on that KRS variant?
ugh corny.
I read the preview. not much to go off.
also someone give vision girl a costume. out here in converse rekting
I don't see how it's any weirder than these other team names lol.
Waid is like the Running Back, he produces results when you give him the ball but needs his teammates to help him, hence why some of the artists are doing co writing duties lately.

Depends what her age is. Need to check in with Messi.
