Actually surprised it hasn't happed already.
Yeah, but its the James Bond/Kingsmen thing that is strange.
Would be super hyped for an actual biopic, but not this.
I should bail out of this book.

Marv Wolfman wants to remind everyone that Raven #1 is out next week. Has there been any interviews or previews of it?
You mean by the end of that Uncanny X-Men run?
Pretty sure Bendis just basically wrote her out like that so no other writers could use her. He did the same with Victoria Hand at the end of his Avengers run and admitted he just killed her off for that reason.

Honestly, I've found Tony to be the one coming off as unreasonable even though I think he's correct. He's been clinging to the conflict ball all event.

He turned up in Geoff Johns' pre-Rebirth Superman run and the Rebirth one shot. It's almost certainly Ozymandias from Watchmen.
That's a mistake.
So I finished Multiversity, and that was fun, if of course a little unusual in typical Grant Morrison fashion. But full of great moments, and the gimmick of Ultra Comics in particular did land quite well for me, especially something about the art/pacing of it just worked brilliantly.
That said, it called up a far, far more random question by vaguely referencing the character: Has Johnny Thunder ever been significantly used in anything of any note? I know OF the character, and I think I've seen him briefly mentioned a handful of times in my comic reading career (Multiversity very, very briefly having a Jakeem Thunder), but never in a role of any importance in the slightest. Variants on the character are plenty fair game too. Just kind of bugs me that I pretty much just know "oh yeah, that's a character with like a Thunderbolt genie thing or something", but I've never seen him in anything other than a light cameo.

Who is owzer anyway, he sure seems to like trump
I don't know, but I did read a couple issues with him in it at the beginning of the JSA Omnibus Vol. 1 I'm reading right now.
You show that you care about your country and WWE Universal Championship belt and people try to put you in a basket. He CAN wrestle!

No one would have put silly monkey in a corner that's for sure.
Started volume 2 of Batgirl. I know the opinion is quite up and down in here over the book, but I get such a kick out of it. Co-op, children of hooq wearing smartphone masks, haha, I love it, there's so much energy.to it all.
Think I asked this before to no avail but I'll try again, any thoughts on Robin war?
I've just started reading Morning Glories and my mind is blown. It's one of the best things I've ever read. I have no idea why I put it off for so long. I guess I didn't realize there was a mystery/weird aspect to it and just thought it was about teenagers at school!
It's seriously like a spiritual successor to Lost. I can't wait I'll I'm off work so I can read more.

I love the start of it, and intend to go back when it's finished, but I got a little lost in the middle (pun always intended). I spent more time googling what had happened in each issue as I did actually reading it.
If everything manages to get pulled together I'll be impressed. There's so many mysteries and twists each issue. I have no clue where it's heading.

What was behind the sticker on the main Doom Patrol cover? I bought the Sanford Greene variant.

Mmm interested to see how you get on with it. I am a huge fan of.lost and initially bought into the series for similar reasons but I dropped off along the way, I think it fundamentally fails to understand what actually made.lost work, and instead focuses on the twisty stuff way too much. Glad your enjoying it though man
Dan Slott posted some pages for Clone Conspiracy on twitter and the book looks really good.

I don't really know anything about Johnny Thunder during the Golden and Silver ages but Geoff Johns used him during his JSA run, the Stealing Thunder arc revolves around him and Jakeem Thunder. He also showed up in DC Rebirth a few months ago but I don't think his part in that has been explained yet. Maybe they'll use him to bring back the old JSA team in the New 52 universe...

Found a full-body pic of that Injustice 2 Harley statue I posted yesterday. Was curious what her boots looked like.
So basically Spider Verse 2.0 sans Miles/Gwen

Man, I wish I could get some of these variants as prints:
I do wonder how they're going to handle the White Ranger stuff, since we know it happens in this continuity because it's brought up in Kim's miniseries. Book has been great so far though.

Haha that's actually much bigger than I thought. I assumed they were doing the conspiracy book so they could just run the story through that.
Spider-Woman and 2099 tied into the event and then you had books like Spider-Verse Team-UP, Scarlet Spiders and Edge of the Spider-Verse. ASM was also double shipping a few months during the event. This is much smaller, though that's too be expected given what Spider-Verse was.
Slott also mentioned that they got classic artists Spidey like Ron Frenz and Mark Bagley working on stuff for this event.
So far I'm looking forward to this

Went to the Doom Patrol signing and got a sketch of Flex's butt.
Johnny is a founding member of the JSA going back to the Golden Age. Jakeem plays a significant role in Johns JSA and Justice Society of America runs.
That's the best sketch commission of all time
I was expecting a bunch of other Spider books to tie in lol.
this is nice
The butt, right?

That face looks like Wildcat.
This is the same artist doing The Vigilante: Southland mini next month. Can't wait.
