I suppose going into it feeling that way would make sure you don't like it anyway.

It's been repealed, but the policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," was basically "as long as you say that it's not so, then it isn't so." It was also present throughout the entire U.S. military. Ridiculous to think how long it took to get repealed. I'm not sure if anything has been done with Alice since. I've been making my way through New 52 Batwoman. Two trades in and so far, nada.
But Deadpool so it's funny.
That's an immensely upsetting notion. Dick is the one that rose above it, and Tim was never really in it to begin with. Jason and Damien were fucked from day one.
I bet I could fix 90% of the story issues with Secret Empire: Make it so Cap was tricked and he isn't the leader of Hydra. He gets tricked and booted, but is still Hydra-fied. In order to beat Hydra and fix the damage done, Cap has to reverse it all which results in him getting Old Man Roger'd.
Pacing be damned.

Bitch Planet #1 - #5 was pretty cool. Does the book end with volume 2? I don't see any issues after #10 on Image's website.

They've been putting out the anthology book recently, I think the main series is just coming reaaaally sloooowly
Yeah, theyre using the anthology series to get some issues in to release the main series at a better pace.

This is why I am leery to start reading Image series before they are finished.
Haha imo, most Image books have a nice schedule there days with the 5 on then a break for the trade kind of rhythm. It's just that Matt Fraction & Kelly Sue don't give a fuck. Nor Jason Aaron for that matter haha.

Hey, SEX changed from being montly to being probably a OGN format.

They've released 10 issues in around 3 years, that book has nothing resembling a regular release schedule.

I need your favorite Kirby designs/pages/panels. Working on a thread to celebrate his 100th anniversary to be posted this Sunday.

Scott and Barda's wedding is cute.
Orion's eyebrows.
Holy shit. Me, too.
This is some Wonder Woman level lie I've experienced. Dammit, Reddie.
Supposedly the joke is that the sequence riffs on the old Star Comics line, but this being Bunn, it's immediately downplayed by the realization
Deadpool killed a bunch of kids and doesn't even understand how because of said playing off as a joke.

I really hope this is the last one.
Doctor Aphra Annual: the thing I like most about Star Sars is Doctor Aphra of course. The thing I like second most about Star Wars is how every character has a story. For example, big black murder Wookiee? He's the Star Wars version of Wolverine. I really hope one of these Star Wars Story films casts Chelli. She is fantastic.
Suicide Squad: I wonder if Nightwing in NWO had any help from Amanda Waller, cause what he did would absolutely be relevant to her interests. This issue had some wonky ass art. Like, some of it is so bad.
Teen Titans: I could read an endless amount of Raven threatening Damian's life. Also, lmao Damian "I don't speak Disney" Wayne quoted fucking Dumbo in the climax? I get why they advertise things, but
Unless it's a head fake, in which case I rescind my criticism.
On an unrelated note, "Who is Wonder Woman's brother" is such a terrible take for a new creative team, particularly when the author has had some questionable storylines before. Might end up dropping a favorite book for a while.
I also read I am Groot (good), Weapon X (okay), and X-Men Gold (Stockholm syndrome).

announcing the return of Kid Flash in #13 undercuts the story in Deathstroke with Defiance.

It's only Marvels sequel to their biggest selling TP. I'm sure they will get right on cancelling that series...

Not at a computer so no pics on hand. But my favorite designs are Big Barda and Orion. Barda especially is just, like, pure Kirby. You look at her and can immediately figure out who designed her. It's pretty impressive. Both of them have pretty timeless designs.
Lol I thought the same thing for the longest time

Dark Horse need to learn how to pace out their HC releases (like FB). So many months of nothing and then 2 Hell on Earth and 2 Abe Sapien HCs within 6 months?
Donniewahlberg

Lol yeaaa it's rough. Plus I imagine everyone will grab for them this time after the HCs went out of print for the PoF omnibus so it's going to be rough doing them all so close.
On mobile so no images but these are my favorite designs:
Marvel: Galactus, Silver Surfer, Celestials, Devil Dinosaur, Black Panther
DC: Etrigan, Klarion, Big Barda, OMAC, Darkseid, Granny Goodness, Kamandi

These Dark Batmen all sound like MGS bosses.
yeah that entire issue is incredible, and that stretch of New Gods is one of the highlights of his whole career imo

Enjoyed Generations Thor this week. I feel like we don't see heroes fighting other rogues galleries enough, Thor against Apocalypse was a lot of fun.
Weren't we supposed to have been told what the Vanishing Point is by now?
