The best Moebius RIP post I've read yet:

You really can't say enough about how amazing and influential the man was.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

...what?

Do people just not read my posts ever? This is a surprise, that I liked Fear Itself.

Or is it just fun to pile on people with unpopular opinions?

No, no one agreed on that either, trust me.

Im more shocked you liked evolutionary war

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Im more shocked you liked evolutionary war

To be fair, I haven't read it since it came out, when I was in like the sixth grade. At the time I was just so amazed that all these things were tied together. Even the trade dress, I was like "Whoaaaaaaa"

 

[Tizoc]

Anyone else think Peter David should write this new Captain Marvel series?

Oh and what are some good Popeye comics/TPBs? IIRC, didn't Peter David write a Popeye story?

RANDOMNESS!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

RANDOMNESS!

This is fucking amazing, especially if you imagine Kevin Conroy doing the "ho ho ho"

 

[SUPREME1]

Dat bucket.

 

[Tizoc]

Woah...anyone know more about this?
Apparently back in the 70s-80s there were plans for Tokusatsu series featuring Silver Surfer, Ms. Marvel and...

Moon Knight and 3DMan

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I literally can't. Is there a YouTube clip of him laughing as Batman so I can try to make it happen?

Probably still better then Marvel. At least DC gets the damn RELEASE DATES RIGHT

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Heroes Con in June.

Oh dude, you especially will LOVE it. No bullshit movies or videogames or even big Marvel or DC tents. Just creators and comics. It's fucking AMAZING. Fuck every other con, seriously.

See you there, bro!

 

[notworksafe]

DC's new website is a disease

my workflow :'(

Zero sympathy. Marvel's goddamn website has books on there too early, too late, and some books not at all. My workflow has been fucked since day one! D:

[tm24]

Speaking of cons, how many people are a decent ways away from one that it would be no problem to go to one? I'm located in the Coachella Valley in SoCal, about 2 hours away from LA/OC and about 3-4 from San Diego. So i got wonder-con this weekend and maybe SDCC later this year. Should be fun.

 

[ElNarez]

Marvel's scheduling strategy is arcane bullshit. That plus the fact they're trying to make 3.99 the new 2.99, and their eagerness to get rotating art teams on books so they can ship twice a month is an accumulation of bummers that make me kinda sad.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Their strategy seems to be cancel the books nobody's reading(Generation Hope, Daken, Alpha Flight, Ghost Rider, X-23), and just keep double-shipping the ones that are selling. I guess its working for them, they got back the marketshare leader position from DC, but goddamn Khoi Pham on Daredevil, really you guys? If you're gonna rotate artists, at least have them be good like Bachalo-Bradshaw on WATXM, or the current three ASM artists.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Wait, what's this? They're fucking with Daredevil?

 

[LiQuid!]

Woah, wait we're getting another issue of The Shade already? SCORE.

One thing the Diamond data doesn't show is just how many books Marvel is releasing. There's probably some kind of story there. I mean, DC must be doing something right if Aquaman is outselling the X-Men, right?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Wait, what's this? They're fucking with Daredevil?

Chris Samnee is on for the long run, but we got a three issue fill-in by Khoi Pham with #13-15

I really, REALLY hope we get no more fill-ins after that for a long ass time. Samee/Rivera rotating story arcs would be the best looking book on the stands.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Khoi Pham makes me drop a comic faster than even Leinil Yu.

lol

 

[ep85]

I'm not familiar with Khoi Pham, but I google image searched and I don't see what's so offensive.

I think his style would fit with Daredevil...

 

[Tizoc]

Huh, anyone know which comic this is from?

 

[Garryk]

What happened to Marcos Martin on the DD rotation?

He left to do some creator-owned stuff. Whatever it is, I'm buying

Fan-favorite creators Kurt Busiek and George Pérez usher in a new era for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Since the team’s inception, the Avengers have always defended humanity against the forces of evil. When duty calls, these legendary champions answer, fighting valiantly until justice prevails. But what happens when their oldest foes strike directly at the team? On the eve of a huge Avengers gathering, an attack by the evil enchantress Morgan Le Fay sends these assembled heroes into a strange medieval reality where nothing is as it seems. Held under Le Fay’s thrall, the Avengers have lost all memory of their true identities. Breaking free of Morgan’s spell, Captain America and Hawkeye must fight to free their teammates before the Marvel Universe is altered forever! Plus: The Avengers take on the Squadron Supreme!

Love the quote for Avengers Assemble.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Chris Samnee confirmed on twitter that he's actually back for #14 of DD and we don't have to sit through a bunch of Khoi Pham fill-in stories.

Thank you, comic book gods

 

[Parallax]

Do people just not read my posts ever? This is a surprise, that I liked Fear Itself.

Or is it just fun to pile on people with unpopular opinions?

to me its a suprise that anyone liked fear itself.

but then again, people like civil war, and it wasnt even close to as bad as that was.

am i the only one who really dislikes the scarlet spiders new costume?

 

[Supermanisdead]

I thought Avengers Assemble was Bendis/Bagley? I'm gonna check it out now. Getting all the Xbooks again this week.

 

[Anticitizen One]

The Shade is one of the best comics on the stands right now.

 

[LiQuid!]

Ooh, this year's American Vampire miniseries, Lord of Nightmares, will be drawn by Dustin Nguyen!

Zero sympathy. Marvel's goddamn website has books on there too early, too late, and some books not at all. My workflow has been fucked since day one! D:

I almost never used DC and Marvel's websites when making the thread. Well, DC's old site was handy, but I did without it for the most part. :O

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The biggest book this week isn't from Marvel/DC, it's Saga #1. BKV's return to the world of comics, Stars Wars crossed with Romeo and Juilet, with amazing artwork by Fiona Staples. The first issue is DOUBLE-SIZED at $2.99, and with all the hype its getting, you should at least check it out and see if it works for you.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

With that cover?? No thanks.

I prefer my comics with NO SALACIOUS CONTENT, thanks.

 

[notworksafe]

Love the quote for Avengers Assemble.

Dat Marvel site. Most books this week don't even have ANY description. :\ Fixed it.

Also this week's Three Panel Soul was amusing...

 

[LiQuid!]

Saga is probably my most anticipated comic in the history of the medium. That said, it is going to hurt so, so bad waiting for new issues. So bad.
