Glad all you guys are enjoying your deals. I can't wait to pay £60 for 6 marvel trades in the near future. The Sienkiewicz HB is great.

I think it was this years Wonder Woman Aniversary One Shot
Just found out that there's a thing called Maximum Berserk that's 2 volumes of Berserk in 1 and in a larger format. Not really sure why Dark Horse doesn't do that, if there's one manga that warrants the larger format, it's Berserk.
Pretend Berserk is a comic book.
Holy hell, Wonder Woman was really really good. DC finally broke the streak of shitty movies.

Suicide Squad wasn't shit

Suicide Squad wasn't shit
It's the only one of the three DCEU films that I really disliked. Sloppy editing, a terrible villain, shoddy action scenes, as many popular songs over random scenes as they could manage...yeah, I'm still mad about it. I was really looking forward to it.
Yes it wasSuicide Squad wasn't shit

The thing about Suicide Squad is if you ignore the Joker, the cast is pretty spot in and when they are given a moment to shine I kind of feel they bring it. It's just the entire framework of plot and movie they exist in is the ultimate cock block.
It's totally deliberate, and it's what I love about it: it's a movie where nothing is learned, characters do not change and nothing is made any better. It's just that everyone, starting with Deadshot, learns to be fine with it. As commentary on the creeping rise of the military-industrial complex happening independently of any political will, that's kinda dead-on.
Them learning nothing is my favourite part of the movie. All that happens is that they become ok being who they are.

It just seemed really weirdly done overall.
They seemed to cut a lot of stuff for no reason, I mean you even had multiple scenes that were in the trailer released a few months before the movie came out that, that didn't make it into the movie. Surely by that point you should know whats being cut and not cut.
Then they got Jared Leto, asked him to get fully into the character of the Joker, filmed a massive amount of footage with him for it and then include almost none of it in the movie. Even the scenes they did include seem like parts of bigger scenes they cut out, his part in it just seems tagged on. This in turn just seemed to make the scenes with Joker and Harley weirder, as you feel like your being told half a story, plus that half a story makes them seem like more of a bonnie and clyde relationship than an abusive, psychological abuse relationship that it really is.
There was some good roles in deadshot and harley and some fun action, but I can't watch it without thinking what a missed opportunity it was. There was a good movie somewhere in there but they really didn't find it. I wouldn'y say it was out and out bad though.

This was absolutely intentional.

Yeah makes sense. For merchandising and to please all the instagram teen joker/harley shippers, but shouldn't that make us a bit pissed off as comic fans that they catered to them more than us ha.

If you guys are the same person, does that mean we have three Geoff Johns running around? Because at that point, we start to get a pretty good hint at the three jokers...

People were moaning about Baze calling Jyn 'little sister' in Rogue One after barely knowing her - which was fair - but this was ten times worse.

Haha well I generally enjoy Snyder comics much more than you. That's one area where out tastes differ
I ran out of marvel trades I wanted. So another successful sale I'd say. I wish the spider-girl trades covered the whole run. Guess I'll get the rest during the marvel BOGO sale

Every movie just wants to be the Fast and Furious. It's about family.
So the world we live is just so cynical and divided, right? I thought that by splitting myself into three I could bring back a sense of optimism, wonder, and most importantly, hope back in the world. That was always my biggest takeaway from working with Richard Donner, you have to give give people something to believe in, good vs evil. That was my goal with Rebirth and now that's my goal for the real world as well, you could even call this Geoff Johns: Rebirth. Instead of taking inspiration from the real world for comics I'm taking inspiration from my comics for the real world.

To be fair, that's not exactly hard to do.

Havent read issue 3 yet of Secret Empire so not sure but what if the Captain America with Hydra is the one that is from
Not my idea mind you, I was listening to the Comics Conspiracy podcast and the host had the idea which actually makes alot of sense since in that
Hydra actually won. They usually dont talk about specific runs that often on the Podcast, and its called that because its the name of their store lol.
Havent read the run again since the original release so im gunna go back now. Gotta say, usually people love to hate
but this was one of the times their work really shined. Yes his team books like
event looked horrible, but his work on
looked soo good.
Dimension Z in Remender's Captain America run.

LOL. Holy shit dude hah you ARE Johns, aren't you? It makes sense too. We have the Johns who hates Snyder, the Johns who likes him, and stoicly, the Johns at DC HQ who see's the financial logic in keeping him around.

It is super weird since Berserk is Dark Horse's best selling book period. Apparently they were talking about it at a con recently too. You would expect them to want more of it out to sell.

I'd love to double dip and get it digitally. Berserk is available on CMX but not in English.

True. It has changed so much but never feels forced. This arc has been great. The focus has shifted away from Maggie and Hopey (and Penny) but I like how we get to see everyone else. Glad Ray got punched in the face though. The switching between flashbacks and present time is awesome too.

Not me. I've been tempted, but all I heard was that it was pretty good around the time the series first started.

Today's Amazon sale is great, but I'm already a subscriber to Marvel Unlimited so I'm trying to focus on stuff that will absolutely never come to that service. I've already snagged Miracleman, any other suggestions?

Sounds like something he would have done though (especially since i think it was when Millar was Grant's student/partner) less stupid and weird and out of nowhere maybeWhat if the ending was Morrison's contribution?
