There are a lot of those type of comments going around.
That's basically the biggest complaint about the line and when the old heroes come back they'll find another aspect of the books to through their SJW complaints at. Probably the writers because some people are already doing that.

75% off Avatar on CMX. Anything worth getting? How is Alan Moore's Providence?
Also.. holy crap is there a lot of Warren Ellis at Avatar? Is any of it good?

Jorge Jiménez really killing it lately for me with these covers... posted both of these high-res versions on his Twitter recently. The second one is such a strong evocation.

Yikes. I think some of you are a fan of this artist. If so, you might need to rethink that.

The fact that she is doubling down hard is leaving me baffled.

Never double down.

The fact Marvel tries to sell it as the next volume of the Fraction-era run in their previews etc is really sad. Such a bad book.

Reading some Transformers and I'm starting to have a bad feeling about the Knights and Cyberutopia...
5 working as 1 and holding judgement etc over others? Since Transformers forget things over time due to their memory not holding up that well if they've been alive that long I wonder if the Knights actually are
. I don't think finding them would be a good idea...
Edit: Newsarama interview with Percy about Green Arrow.
What are some good Avatar books aside from Gillen's Über?

Any. Linewide sale.
Is there anything I need to buy in this?
Generally you won't go wrong with any Warren Ellis stuff

Her decisions make complete sense within the text.
I like the War Machine armor, but I never cared about him.
Has he been using the Phoenix saga as B-plot to a Thor book?
Actually, Phoenix has been prominent in some of his other shit, like Astonishing Spider-Man and Wolverine.
I adored it. Trippy as fuck.

Superhero comics/movies fans complaining about SJWs will always be hilarious to me.
The irony must be too thick for them because most superhero characters would be characterized as SJWs themselves.
Really love the second one. I think Superman covers work best when it's Hey look how inspiring this hero is vs look how powerful he is!
She looks like she's open for whatever she blue devil is in to
GAF's reaction to the Punisher taking over as War Machine puzzles me greatly given the shrugging shoulders to some of the really, really weird shit that Marvel has done to Rhodey over the last fifteen years, and the fact that bad people take Iron Man armours literally all the time.
Hell, Doom is a genocidal dictator and is Iron Man at the moment.
Newest "last ten years of X-Men" reading update - Abnett and Lanning's New Mutants run is great. Shame there's not much of it really.

Isnt this only supposed to be one arc? Or was it yet again that 4chan rumor?
I thought the post from a few pages back put it pretty well
Given the current political climate in 2017 it's not really hard to see why people find it to be in poor taste and tone deaf, and it's not really hard to see why some people don't have a problem with it either.
Infamous Iron Man is another one of those "ongoing" series that's finishing after 12 issues. No idea what Doom is going to be in after that but I think he absolutely should still have a solo series.

So true. Not quite as bad as when it happens with Trekkies (seriously, did you actually watch the shows?) but still pretty bad.
Hehe Boobs
I bet Doom Vs Stark happens in a different book or that book under a new name.

unfortunate typo there Gameproff
I have a question about sales. I was discussing whether a books' issue to issue sales or trade sales are more important.
More and more I wait for trades, especially when I start a new series as I find that generally I enjoy a title more when the first arc is cohesive. Mother Panic for example- I didn't really like the first issue, but after taking a chance and getting the trade I really enjoyed it.
But does that impact whether or not a book gets continued? Obviously sales are important, but I guess what I'm asking is do companies only look at the month to month and decide, or do they wait to see how the trades fare before axing something?

Depends on if they got a scholastic deal like some Marvel books or if editorial/the higher ups want to see if sales will improve. Most of the recent Marvel books that ended at issue 6/7 were killed the moment Marvel got the numbers on how many had pre-ordered the issues which is around #2.
The writer of Runaways have asked all her twitter followers to pre-order her issues because the book is dead before the trade will come out.
Marvel does have the best breasts, me personally I prefer DCs since they have PG
don't quote me on this but it seems monthly are in General besides outliers more important
a recent example: the Midnighter and Apollo mini from DC existed because of strong trade sales for the Midnighter solo series
trade sales, and a variety of other factors, play into the publishing of an ongoing, but obviously the big story is direct market sales of single issues
Wonder why she is begging for preorders on a mini that has a guaranteed 5 issues. He book is gonna be finished before the trade regardless.
