That is Jaime Mckelvie art for sure. It's from Wicked + Divine, which is a good series.

I thought it was from a Jem comic at first from the hair and makeup until I saw her clothes.

I have to double-dip for work.
Intriguing. Wonder how they'll tackle that one.

On the comic conspiracy podcast, Ryan Higgins talked about spoilers when it came to what Marvel and DC did with Secret Empire and Metal.
Level 1: Anything that you have an interested in like comics or movies or TV.
Level 2: A spoiler that you know it's coming.
Level 3: A spoiler that comes out of nowhere.

Boom is notorious for late and low pay. They're doing just fine financially as far as I know. They are supposed to be great to work with.

It sucks that covers of issues or solicitations often give so much away. I'm a person that's not bothered by
most spoilers.

That is a weird thing that I notice about comics. It seems like cover and solicitations can give away things even though they shouldn't.
Solicitations have to give stuff away to an extent because of how the system is set up. Retailers need/want that info before making orders.

It's a flash-forward preview of an upcoming story where Batman is a facist and Kate is leader of the Colony. And older. #7 is a new story arc so I don't know why they decided to just shove this in there.

Preordered the second wave of Bombshells action figures.
I still need to buy the HQ and WW bombshell figures though lol.

I'm so excited for The Terrifics, but the only slight worry I have is Jeff Lemire. I think the guy is super capable of good writing, but I haven't seen any good lighthearted fun from him. The only one I saw him try is Hawkeye which I did not enjoy.
I think Jeff Parker would have been the PERFECT writer for it. But oh well.

As others have pointed out, Gwenpool is very very good.
I think the only good Marvel books may be the ones starring women.
Squirrel Girl
Gwenpool
Thor (though she's more co-starring at this point)
And I've heard good things about Jessica Jones and Jean Grey.

There are strong books with male leads.

I know people have liked Doom Iron Man, and Daredevil, but I haven't been reading them. There are presumably others too. Miles Spidey has been ok, but I feel like Bendis has been stalling until Spider-Men gets finished.
Guardians has been good though. That's arguably male fronted.
I also got Balck Bolt in the bohgo. I've heard that's good.
Black Bolt and Black Panther are pretty solid too. Spectacular Spider-man had a good start to me.

I read two more coming of age GNs yesterday: Local and Lucky Penny.
Local could have a couple chapters cut, but overall, I really liked it. I could relate to the moving around all the time trying to find the right place. I've moved so many times in the past 5 years. Two different cities back home and 6 places across three prefectures in Japan.
Lucky Penny went full joke mode near the end, and I thought it was way too random. Kinda hurt the series, despite being fun. Felt messy.
Read vol. 1 of Xmen blue. It's not bad, but I have to say the art is very inconsistent. In issue 6, there are so many panels where Jean's face looks strange as all hell.

Nope. It's trash.

Damn, DC's animated movies have went to shit recently.
What the fuck happened? DCAU was > DCEU up till Diana and now they're failing all over the place.
Wait what.
And is Iron Doom ending?
Yeah the first ones were so strong. I dunno what happened.
Hell the animated Wonder Woman movie is so much better than the live action one.
Nooooope. I love the animated film but no.
I stand alone here then.
The live action movie was good but some parts, especially the ending were quite weak.
It's light years better than BvS and Suicide Squad though.
I felt the animated movie was enjoyable all the way through. Granted it's been a while since I've seen it so my memory may be foggy.

The future story will be picked up in Detective Comics following the Lonely Place of Living arc.
Yes, the Iron Man books are combining for Legacy.
From Ellis' letter:

I really liked the movie but the ending was really shitty. Hated the endfight.

It's a region free release.
Yeah, but I dont pay 15 shipping for a 10 amaray.
Maybe I am lucky through ebay.
Yeah, I like them both quite a bit; neither pales in comparison to the other.

I was kind of excited to see the Batman/Harley Quinn movie, not so much anymore
So, this isn't anything recent, but I read through Busiek's Avengers run a few months ago, and when it concludes, it switches to Geoff Johns, and I'm reading that now, and it's ... not good. And the art gets progressively worse, too. Who the heck thought it was a good idea to let Scott Kolins draw an Avengers book? Wretched. Bleh. How disappointing.

Didn't Bendis ask the higher ups for the chance to do Disassembled like, 2 issues into Johns time on the book?

The one Geoff Johns Avengers story I read was Red Zone with art by Olivier Coipel, that one I enjoyed.
What were some of your fav. parts of Busiek's run?
Kang Dynasty is probably one of my favorite storylines across any run.
And yeah, Red Zone was actually pretty good. I didn't know that about Bendis and editorial. The run just isn't impressive at all. Just doesn't feel like it's gone anywhere, and these "character moments" that Johns clearly wants to focus on feel unnatural and forced.

Iirc Bendis was asked to do a big avengers story once Marvel decided to put a bigger focus on avengers comics. They went with Bendis over Millar because Millar was doing Ultimates at the time.
I don't think Johns was particularly popular yet when he started his short avengers run.
You really don't. He dedicated an entire issue just to Pym and Janet's seedy Vegas sex escapades, and a crazy stalker Whirlwind. SO MUCH EDGE.

Did you happen to pick this up in the BOGO sale? I tried the code on some Gwenpool issues and it didn't work for me.
