God damn, that Batman #34 cover.

She is a wizard. an absolute wizard. I also love the annual cover.

Also, why is that hideous Joelle Jones Harley statue $125?

I was ready to murder and I seen it was you. fuck you.

Off it. One less female written male hero book which is kinda sad since there are so few.

Messi will like the Harley issue in the solicits from the loot crate.

I have the loot crate issue but the real story here is Amanda Conner drawing 18 new pages! hyyyyyyyyyyype

Looks like Green Arrow is going monthly.

Just noticed this. It now has a digital code. Sad to see that but should be suprised since they cancelled the aquaman ohc and it went monthly and the same has happened to arrow.

Prelim list for dc has 24 books...this is not good lol

Okay but it really is hideous. I meant that part. Definitely the worst of the three statues in the JJ line we've seen so far. The others are light-years better.

I think they are all perfect and capture her art perfectly. Oh well we don't have to agree.

Damn you young animal why are you only putting out 2 books in november. it means that adorable Doom Patrol cover can't get picked :(

Oh and that Aquaman cover is trash. Sejic didn't kill it on that one.

Jody Houser is cowriting Supergirl, interesting.
 
Ed Brisson is now Marvel exclusive: https://www.newsarama.com/36043-ed-brisson-signs-marvel-exclusive.html

He's been killing it so this makes sense.


Wow, you're right. With that I will be adding it back to my pull list.
Has Brisson done any DC work before? He really didn't seem like someone who would jump ship suddenly.

She did Vixen Rebirth with some help from Orlando before, right?

you see Lee Weeks is arting on the Batman Annual cover and interiors after the Elmer Fudd book.

Yep, good for him. Dude is great.

She cowrote Vixen and Killer Frost Rebirth with Orlando. I wonder if they're transitioning her to take over the book? 🤔
 
The pacing for The Defenders just reiterates the fact that all the marvel Netflix series would have benefited immensely from being 8 episodes or fewer.
 
I've always found music acts and comics to be a pretty weird mix. The other week I saw that Black Eyed Peas thing Marvel published and Jesus fucking shit.... They have nudity in the book that's censored via pixelation. Come the fuck on, Marvel.
 
Hey you know where they're from right Serp ;)

our people!!! Archie knows what i'm about

historically, Black Eyed Peas and Marvel don't mix well

Axel/Brevoort logic is so fucking outdated.

"But DC sold their covers at a loss, we have no loss so it's justified!"

You are forcing comic shops to buy a crapload of copies of say America or Generation X for a gimmick cover and it's likely, those copies will be collecting dust and the gimmick will be picked up and scalped?

LOL

And every comic shop is telling that's impossible to do in the climate but Mahvoo gives no fuck because they still lead the market share.
 
Gen X is bad comics
His issue of Titans is a secret Rebirth Gem. One of the best issues of the whole initiative.
That was the furst issue of Made in Manhattan right? I thought I was the only one.

It's not episode amount. It's writing/showrunning capability.
 
Read the first three issue arc of Mother Panic. I don't think I was quite prepared for how dark it was going to go, that's some rough stuff. Since they initially hold back that stuff in issue 1, I thought the book was maybe going to be a bit too angsty/try hard but once you have that background and context, the whole thing takes on a really different tone. Definitely interested what Houser has to say with that. It's dark stuff, dark enough I think it's only worth exploring if the team can really do it justice and say something meaningful but I am definitely engaged and I guess this is what Gotham would be like if you take the cuffs off on the content.

Honestly, Marvel gives no fucks once they dump their stock. If retailers get stuck with a bunch of product they can't sell, oh well. I like how their solution to lagging sales is to force retailers to buy more to get incentive covers instead of putting out better books people will actually want.

Serp and Donnie are Scottish? Cool. Didn't know that. Seems like a lot of you guys live somewhat close to each other. Meanwhile, I'm all alone in this country.

I thought y'all was cool, but since none of you told me that Green Arrow is the best traditional cape book DC is putting out, I guess I was wrong.

Green Arrow is incredible, guys. It's one book that you can absolutely jump in from Rebirth with no background at all and enjoy. In fact, some of the storytelling works even better if you don't know much about the background and stuff.

It's the return of Liberal Green Arrow that made him famous.
