Gurihiru art pls.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates the greatness of Gurihiru.

Oh. So Gwenpool didn't end well.

They have a great cartoon style. I also wonder how many of them there are, exactly.

Two IIRC. I think they say that on their tumblr.

EDIT: Two.

Born in Hokkaido,they currently reside in Saitama City JPN.
Gurihiru is the name of an artist duo.
Pecils and inks art by Sasaki, and coloring by Kawano.
They basically work as comic artists for Amerian comic books.

I loved them on Gotham Academy.

Oh yeah. GOTHAM ACADEMY IS BACK!

Doom Patrol was great. It had a little bit of that Morrison feel, but not too much. It was just the right amount of Morrison.

Zero Morrison is the best amount of Morrison.

I wouldn't say that, but Morrison sometimes goes too far off the deep end too soon in a lot of books.

yea, it is like he gets too absorbed in his ideas and concepts, which ends up confusing the readers and requiring multiple reads.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I think he'll probably grow into being able to do that type of thing organically. Morrison had a way that hit you over the head with the weird stuff.

Is this volume of Doom Patrol a good starting point for someone that hasn't read it before and doesn't read any other DC books?

 

[VanWinkle]

All this talk about Detective Comics, guess I'm going to have to get caught up on it. I stopped for trade-waiting after the third issue.

 

[Lashley]

Detective Comics 940 was fucking phenomenal. Pointless reading anything else today, that won't be beat for me.

 

[Sandfox]

Stegman said that the newest issue of Uncanny Avengers is his best work to date and it definitely looks better than what he put out earlier in the book. I'm also interested to see where book goes after it resolves the

Red Skull stuff

assuming that just isn't the end of the book or something lol.

I've never read Doom Patrol and can confirm that you can easily follow issue #1 with no prior knowledge. It's pretty good too.

Yaaaay. Was it good? How is the artist, it's not kerschl this time right? I can't wait to see his work on Isola.

His pre-UA stuff all looks pretty good to me. I just don't know how he could have thought the soul he started the series with was a good idea.

Yeah, the first issues of Uncanny are really the only art of his that I think is bad. His Spider-Man stuff is especially good, so I'm glad he's moving over to that after this issue.

Amazon has the release date for the Doom Patrol trade at June 6.

I've only read 3 comics today and they have all been great. Tec, DP, and Suicide Squad.

looks like you and I feel the same about Morrison then.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I don't mind weird, but there has to be some kind of train of thought you can follow to get there without too big a leap in logic. Some of Morrison's work is just too far out there for me.

 

[Sandfox]

Spider-Man is by far the best Bendis book.

Also, it's nice to see an X-Men issue actually focus on Bobby. Though it is a little on the nose with how

Spoiler

his love interest is an Inhuman named Romeo. Though Hopeless did use it as joke and foreshadowing for the reveal.

I don't get why you are so down on Stegman's art lol

 

[Farside]

Doom Patrol: 6/5 Great fucking start to a comic and an imprint. Loved everything about it-- just the right amount of inscrutability, esoterica, Morrison, while carving out its own path. I can't wait to see where this goes...

 

[Brian Fellows]

Marvel should match Young Animal by bringing back The Ultraverse! I need more of that sexy sax playing Nightman in my life.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Damn everyones so pumped by doom patrol, only 9 months to go!

Animosity #2 - Too many time jumps in this one. Hopefully the next issue stablizes things a bit.

I didn't really like the first issue much because the changes in the animals were so inconsistent.

Doom Patrol was... interesting. I've never read the previous incarnations, nor knew anything about them so I went in with zero expectations. It was certainly odd, and I quite enjoyed the art.

I am quite fond of how a lot of the new DC books have colorful/fun art to them.

How smooth was he though?

TBH, I'm just really happy Hopeless is still around. Avengers Arena and Undercover was one of my fave arcs of anything (due in no small part to how invested I was in those characters).

Bobby was struggling to chat up guys while the other guy was pretty smoove.

Black Panther's next arc is called MOB DEEP

Clever dude.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Oh. So Gwenpool didn't end well.

Spoiler

Abandon that ship.

Gwenpool made me cringe today. Not because the writing was bad, but because Gwen was crossing so many lines I really wanted to slap her.

Christopher Hastings has done a really good job deconstructing these type of "self-insert" stories.
