Are you talking about the Johns/Frank Shazam series? I thought it was alright. It started out too gritty but became great towards the end. Also, it gave us one of my favorite scenes from the early New 52.
I think she is an adult now. They don't really talk about it. They treat Gabby like her kid.
DC is already making bank off of him so they would probably allow him a pet project if he wanted on.
I would assume she's over 18 at least.
shes like 18 or 19 one assumes

Haven;t read about it in a while, but what was so gritty about it except for Billy being a little asshole.
Great stuff
its awesome. Or was when I was reading at least
The last I remember was she was dating O5 Warren, but they never really said how old they were either other than being teenagers.
I read the first five or six issues and it was good.

I didn't see it as that edgy or gritty?

Finally got around to reading America #1. It was....a comic. Definitely didn't hook me. It almost feels like the antithesis of everything she's been represented as in the comics until now.
Yeah it wasn't edgy or gritty at all
In an interview with SFX Magazine (via GamesRadar), Buck said "there was no good reason" they could think to put him in that outfit. In the series, Rand "is still discovering who he is as a hero and where he is going to be." As such, he's "not yet ready to put on a mask or a costume."

I thought Danny would his costume, but at the very end of the series - like Daredevil. He'll probably get some threads after Defenders (I almost wrote "Avengers").

I don't have any questions (I'm sorry) but I think the site you write for followed me on tumblr and possibly twitter at one point
I'm so sorry
CBR forums keep getting me mad, so much hate for new heroes.
The recent sales news has them celebrating like LOLWAIDVENGERS is failing sad.
And if the BC rumor is true (which considering the recent ones weren't true.), they'll get the Pre AN Marvel Now aka BORING SHIT.
Then again, America was...kinda 50-50

Aw heck yeah. Taskmaster is getting a variant Secret Empire cover alongside the other 'main' villains of the event.
IS THIS HIS BIG BREAK?
Probably not, but if he winds up nearly as major as he was in Civil War/Dark Reign I will be so happy.

Its a Del Mundo book of course its not selling
Based on what retailers have revealed about what Marvel said at ComicsPRO, it seems like we will be getting both original and legacy. CBR is a trash site though, both main and forum.
The interesting thing about people having an issue with Avengers is that it's the most traditional Avengers book we've had in a very long time in every way except roster.
I would expect him and Black Ant to have notable roles.

Logan thread is so depressing. Proof positive that you can give people literal perfection and they'll still root around for something to complain about.

well, theres always people who don't have a great work 'click' with them but the number of people whose criticism boils down 'thats not the way I would have written it' is hilarious to me. Ya dude we all go to the movies hoping to see a movie thats exactly what we would have written.

That's what it is. It's never like "well, this is what it was trying to do and how it failed" it's like "Here are the three things I would have done if I wasn't who I actually am, who is someone who did not write and/or direct the movie Logan."
Seriously, why does Mike and Ewing make good books yet no one reads them?
Are they though? Nova isn't selling well after the bitching about Rich. And the talent pool going back to experienced writers seems backwards.

Man, I really can't wait to see Logan. I don't think I've saw one bad word about it in here or in the general reviews. Still haven't saw Deadpool for that matter either.

Started reading this trade, mainly for Batman/Hellboy/Starman but hoped the others might be interesting too. Finished reading Superman vs Predator and I have now been disabused of that notion...
Also the first time I've read anything by Michelinie and am a little less than impressed.
In less polite terms, it was shit.

I used to think Michelinie was a god but most of his work hasn't held up really well. Maybe it was never good and I was too young to see it, idk
Nova has never been a huge seller and the issues with the rest of the line are pulling it down as well. The fan reception to the book has been really good from what I've seen though. Personally I would just have one cosmic book in Guardians, the Novas relegated to team books, and then have minis for solo cosmic adventures.
With Ewing it has more to do with his liking to write about less popular characters.
Del Mundo's art just doesn't fit too much with what the average fan wants from the big selling cape books.

Hah, I think this is one of the very few HB things I have left to read. Batman exits stage right early on and it's mostly a starman team up right? You'll need to let us know how you get on with it.
Damn. The birdie seal of approval right here, oppose to the "I cried seven times making my way through a modern day Greg Land illustrated X-Men comic". I'll probably hold out until the bluray release but I'm feeling the good vibes. Historically I haven't really got on too well with the fox stuff but Legion is awesome, Deadpool was apparently funny and this just seems gutwrenching. Maybe they're onto something.

For context, I also watched Apocalypse this weekend and it was the single worst thing I have ever seen. Logan is not a Fox movie. It's the end of the saga of Wolverine that Claremont started, not Fox. If you've ever read and/or loved Claremont or Morrison's X-Men comics, this will wreck you for 2.5 hours straight. Even if you've never read those books, if you've just walked around in America over the past six weeks, this movie will completely devastate you.
It is a gleaming example of why X-Men comics are so fucking essential.

Hated every fucking second. Wait no the Quicksilver scene was 72 good seconds.

Will do. Have a Superman vs Terminator 4 issue mini-series before that, which I am now dreading.
It's why I don't go into movie or Marvel/DC OTs that much. I'll just stick with my opinion but I do respect other people not liking things. Man, it was a very hard-hitting movie.

I hope so. He is my favorite character but the last few years he's gotten basically nothing. His last notable appearance was 2013's Secret Avengers. Luckily Spencer loves writing him, so I am hopeful.
Nova still has that interesting solo rep, too bad Gunn is being a dick about the Corps.
Guardians-Surfer-Nova, there. there's Marvel Cosmic.
That was the best part of the film. When I first saw it I was absolutely devastated by how awful it was, but I've slowly warmed up to it on subsequent viewings. It's still a crappy ending to a relatively positive trilogy, but at least now I can take a tiny bit of enjoyment away from it.
And every negative comment in the OT and the spoiler thread boils down to that too. And after reading what those folks would have done, thank god they're not making movies.
I would be happy with that, but I'm thinking Marvel will reduce the number of books they put out and the latter two would be prime candidates to not make the cut due to sales. That's why I want to take advantage of minis more since it can even be used to give characters who can't hold a book something for a few months with the potential to be followed up.

Holy shit lol just this line here. That is incredible haha
Totally agree with you guys on Apocalypse btw, love the quicksilver scene, everything else was dumpster fire.
He ain't lying either.
I totally skipped Apocalypse, it looked like trash just like DoFP was.

Me and my boy had a movie afternoon awhile back, we each picked a movie, and we couldn't argue with the other's choice. I picked the Peanuts movie....he picked X-Men Apocalypse. No idea what I did to deserve such torture!

It is the conclusion of Fox's X-Men continuity that started with the first movie. And that's what made me super emotional. Decades later and Xavier's dream is basically dead.
DoFP is so good.
How was Peanuts? I love those characters so much, I couldn't bring myself to watch the movie in case it was bad.
When is the last time you have watched it? It hasn't aged particularly well. If we're going down that road then Persepolis is the best comic book movie of all time, followed by Road To Perdition.
