I read all of Clean Room in the past two days. There was some really weird shit. The Pony Man will haunt my dreams.
I have some criticisms for sure. I think the last 6 issues felt pretty rushed when the foundation of the story seems really grand. The conclusion felt a bit quick and contrived to me. I want to see more of their world and everything, but many of my problems could be alleviated by the sequel. Also, how quickly

Spoiler

Chloe's romance suddenly starts was very poorly done.

It was a fun read, and I didn't want to stop until I got to the end.

 

[Captain Skeleton]

These Legacy reveals are giving me a headache.

 

[shingi70]

None of these legacy reveals seem new, it's the same old same Old

---------

Surprised how thick this Motorcrush trade is.

"How can we do the same things we're doing now, but change very little and make it seem like people are getting what they want?"

Rebirth....but not a Rebirth, because it sucks and doesn't really do much.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Maybe its just the bad taste left by the Lemire run but I don't really want to see another Clint and Kate team up.

Looks like I have to read Hawkeye again.

Even when its the most disturbing romance ever

 

[Sandfox]

The Squirrel Girl cover is certainly interesting.

 

[Dusknoir]

What is these Legacy covers suppose do? None of these are hype. I'm hoping the last announcement of the day would be a change to the business model or creative teams. Something that actually changes Marvel.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Nostalgia.

Only a change to their business model would live up to their claim that they will change the comic industry.

 

[VanWinkle]

Marvel has such a hard time committing. Not just with how often they try this stuff, but they keep giving us a DCYou-level effort when we want a Rebirth.

 

[Freezasaurus]

The only one of those Legacy covers I even like is the Squirrel Girl one.

 

[exmachina64]

Ah, I thought iPad Pro was a big size. I assume a Galaxy Tab S is actually cheaper? What is the better screen for resolution/clarity?

Thanks for the input

The current iPad Pros come in 10.5" and 12.9" models, so the iPad Pro is a good choice.

 

[tim1138]

I just got into Shade the Changing Girl a few days ago and its now my new favorite thing

You have excellent taste

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

And that ain't happening anytime soon.

 

[error4041]

How is Monsters Unleashed still going? is anyone here even reading it?

Black Bolt is continuing though, so I am happy about that

 

[Aizo]

Volume one is so soon. I can't wait to read it.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Listening to the Comic Conspiracy podcast and if I needed any more confirmation that Bryce was insane he went on a huge rant about how Black Bolt was a piece of shit and horrible.

Somehow that rant drove me more crazy than all his previous crazy rants.

 

[Captain Skeleton]

Even when its the most disturbing romance ever

They got together? Ew....

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

They got together? Ew....

Clint and Kate? What!

 

[Messi]

Volume one is so soon. I can't wait to read it.

Any talk about Shade from a Japanese crowd or would you not know about local vibes?

 

[Sandfox]

They got together? Ew....

Clint and Kate? What!

I don't think they did.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Whats the appeal of Steam Wars? Its such a shameful Star Wars ripoff, I cant understand why its not yet taken of the market

 

[Sandfox]

Spirits of Vengeance featuring Johnny Blaze, Blade, Daimon Hellstrom, and Satanna was revealed.

 

[error4041]

Now that I think about it, Clint and Kate being a thing will probably happen sometime in the next 10-20 years when someone gets put on Hawkeye and has no idea what to do.

My feelings towards this idea can be summed up in this gif.

 

[dh4niel]

A lot of the Legacy covers really suck. I like these two though:

Spoiler

Some of the gifs didn't load for me on the IGN site so I might have missed a couple of good ones.

 

[jph139]

Is Legacy really just a gussied-up "Retro Style" variant month? God have mercy.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Marvel does that all the time though.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Well it's nice to know my wallet is safe from Marvel for another year.

 

[error4041]

The Gwenom design is pretty cool.

I'm also really curious how the Captain America and Thor titles end up.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I just got into Shade the Changing Girl a few days ago and its now my new favorite thing



why tho?

This is like the first book I read every week it comes out. It's SO good

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Remember when Spider-Man had a villain who was fully devoted to social media and likes and livestreams?

Screwball was so far ahead of her time, its a shame that she surely hasnt been used for over 5 years now?


Edit: God, Steve motherfucking Wacker was back then the editor on Spider-Man.... And Slott is still writing ASM lol

 

[dan2026]

Thanks for the input

Yeah it seems like the ipad Pro models should be plenty big enough.

Personally I prefer Android devices as they tend to be both cheaper and less restrictive than Apple ones. But if you got the iPad I think it would do the job fine.

 

[LordOfLore]

Came back from a midsummer dinner. Sort of sad to see I missed absolutely nothing.

 

[Malyse]

Whats the appeal of Steam Wars? Its such a shameful Star Wars ripoff, I cant understand why its not yet taken of the market

And it was super boring. I'd be okay with it existing if it wasn't so fucking rote.

 

[Captain Skeleton]

I don't think they did.

I'm just going off Gameproff's comic.

 

[Serpentine]

So it looks like half of the current Avengers are now part of th Champions and Hawkeyes is now a Clint and Kate book again.

fuck offfffffff

Looks like I have to read Hawkeye again.

Even when its the most disturbing romance ever

but... they never...

 

[Phamit]

I would like the Amazing Spider-Man Cover if it wasn't cut off at the sides.

 

[LordOfLore]

Apparently going by retailers all these retro covers are actually variants going by the markings. They're mad Marvel aren't showing the actual covers and not mentioning creative teams or prices.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Yep, yep, yep. I've been rereading the last ten years of X-Men on MU for the last two months. I was going to do a big post about it when I was finished, but, well, spoilers - a big chunk was going to be "what the fuck was going on around X-Men 500????"

It's tonally all over the place. Is this the bit that was rumoured to be ghost written by Land as well as drawn by him? I love me some porn comics, but the plot makes no sense whatsoever and the bit with Emma and Cyclops getting it on in the dungeon they find is just like... what???

Brubaker and Fraction sure had...something. I mean Brubaker is responsible for Deadly Genesis.

Or he has them looking like they are screaming at the top of their lungs while delivering mundane dialogue

The best faces

Got my hopes up there for a second

I'm reading the trade. The actual Manifest Destiny and FBCD issue (which has Pixie being a fucking hoss) is pretty good. Uncanny X-Men 500-503 are...something else.

 

[Messi]

Books without creatives, watch.

Called it.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Not gonna lie: I'm getting semi-excited for Marvel. Mostly the Laura/Logan stuff. That'll be sick.

 

[LordOfLore]

And that's it for today. Only real new book was the team up book with Hell characters. What a "industry changer".

On marketing.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Like, look at this:

Hype. I can't contain myself.

THE BEST

THE
BEST

 

[Malyse]

How is Monsters Unleashed still going? is anyone here even reading it?

I dropped it last issue. My nextwave love only goes so far.

So it looks like half of the current Avengers are now part of th Champions and Hawkeyes is now a Clint and Kate book again.

:/

No clue how America survives with these numbers and reception.

Because they made such a big fuss about it and the fans of the concept (many of which hadn't previously read comics if the letters page is any indication) love the representation it brings. It's probably a good comic about a lesbian Latina superhero, but it's a fucking terrible America Chavez comic. A few weeks ago, someone asked why I was so happy about Rainbow having read all the appearances of the Runaways team. My answer should have been "look at how bad they fucked up America, one of my most anticipated comics of the year."

Super Sons

I really really hope this is finally the end of Damien and Jon fighting. This is now 7 issues of it when it was supposed to have been kind of dealt with in the Rebirth issue with Nobody. It's starting to feel like the first few Green Lanterns where literally the only dialogue is them bickering.

I can watch Damian get his clock cleaned an infinite number of times.

Messi, you going to get this Starfire statue?

Been waiting for dcbs to list her for months. Cannot wait.

This should be a statue:

i will say the Clean Room is a Emma Frost expy book with my dying breath.

I just got into Shade the Changing Girl a few days ago and its now my new favorite thing

You have excellent taste

This is like the first book I read every week it comes out. It's SO good

Shade and Gwenpool are my top books from the big two easy. Mother Panic is a close third.

----

I dropped Black Hammer because it was annoying me (and Death of X). Should I rescind my condemnation?

Also, someone sell me on Moon Knight. Why should I read it specifically?

 

[Messi]

You mean like this one that was recently released?

 

[Malyse]

You mean like this one that was recently released?

Yes.

You know I don't follow figures.

----

Eh. I like it but for maybe half the price.

 

[Sandfox]

Marvel just revealed the Thor cover and it looks like Jane is going to die.

 

[e_i]

LYING!

 

[Messi]

Yes.

You know I don't follow figures.

Just showing you m8

 

[Malyse]

Marvel just revealed the Thor cover and it looks like Jane is going to die.

Speaking of, it's sort of a pity that Nat burned out of the MCU. Jane Thor could have been a meaty role and as a bonus, sent the red pillers into a fit.

Just showing you m8

I appreciate it. ❤️
