I have a lot of trouble comparing Tom King to himself. I can't figure out how to put my thoughts on Batman #10 into words without sounding like I'm unfairly comparing it to #9, which was one of the best single issues of any Batman comic I have read in years.
I guess one thing I will say, that thing I said earlier, about how some of these guys writing twice-a-month books have really figured out how to do it right? I do not think King is there. At least not yet. The pacing on this book remains very awkward.

Champions #2: Young Cyclops is already stepping up to the plate and learning from his older self.
Don't take no shit.

That's Trump-level grabbing going on in the second pick.
I expected this book to be good because Bemis fits the character really well.
I can't wait to get this trade so I'm not reading this.

Flintstones has been legit very non-Flintstoney and very much social commentary with Flintstones aesthetics.
I would not at all be surprised if they did this. It's a really down-to-Earth book. Definitely my favorite of the Hanna-Barbera reboots.

Was my first thought when i read the thread about that book a couple of days ago.
Its a to big trope that they wont do this.

We don't care about the same books as MainstreamGAF.

Champions #2: When I was a human child writers dropped words like "bodacious" and "tubular" into dialogue to sound young and hip. I feel like that kinda happened here with "microaggression." That's a weird page.
Think I'm gonna bail on this. Mark Waid writing young folks. Nope. Good effort on young Cyke tho.
Also, it doesn't help to

lampshade Kamala being the nag if you then go ahead and cast her as the nag anyway

I was going to read TMNT vol 4 tonight but we started watching Narchos season 2 and you just can't read at the same time as this show, with all the subtitles. Did read a really good chunk of the fireman today though. I know we don't really do much novel talk in here but it's a great book, well worth checking out or even picking up for a family member during the gift buying season. Much less about a strange virus that makes you spontaneously combust as it's billed (although that's certainly in there), and much more the exploration of the breakdown of civilization and the resulting problems of society attempting to to self govern. Very Lord of the flies, but it uses its core premise to come at it from a very unique compelling angle.

I am awfully fond of Viv, but I've given Waid two issues now to show me he understands why she's so special and he hasn't done it
I read the issue a couple hours ago. just use spoilers when referring to specific moments in a book for new releases. it is in the OT. ty

Because team books are Lemire's kryptonite.
Champions #2
The characterization is good for most of the characters. Still feels like a man in his 50s writing what he thinks teenagers are like based on reading Twitter though. Some cringe-inducing moments. Don't know where the book is going though as it feels like both issues have been interludes.
Thank god I'm not the only one. I was thinking about mentioning this but was afraid I'd be labeled a fucking MRA Redpiller for thinking it was awful.
Avengers #1
It feels like what ANAD #1 should have been but still a little flimsy. Mark Waid's Avengers runs so far have been a weak version of Joe Kelly's Obsidian Age Justice League. Kinda promising though after that last page.
Superman #10
Super-Dad is the most endearing thing in comics right now. Tomasi and Gleason are hitting this out of the park.

Oh, gotcha, I wasn't sure if you were asking for spoiler. Sorry about that.
Nightwing #8: I dug this, even if it was a super short 2-issue arc. I like the idea of Raptor being a bad dad figure for Dick and the last page was nice.
Batman #10: On one hand, I absolutely loved the narration technique King goes for here, but on the other hand it was pretty strangely paced, like most of King's run so far. I didn't mind Batman's weird dialogue since I got the vibe that it was King's way of paralleling what the narration was saying about Batman and him actually acting it out, since he's a figure focused on repeating the same action over and over and refusing to look at what he might be leaving behind as a result. I suddenly want King to write more

Fuck, I've been wanting to read Rebirth Superman, but I'm gonna trade wait. Glad to hear it's great cause I love the Tomasi/Gleason team.

Just finished reading Frank Cho's Skybourne #1.
Dude should stick to drawing cus that dialogue was so lazy I truly do feel any average person could do better. The art wasn't good enough to trudge through another issue.

That flintstones comic is fishing for an eisner.
On more TWD progression, the post-timeskip stuff is legit Good Comix. Its somewhat interesting how often timeskips complement a story better than a prequel. Shame Carl remains a little shit.
He had it coming.
Is why he knew it was coming and managed a partial dodge.

The time jump is the smartest thing Kirkman has ever done for TWD. Changed the whole ballgame. Expressed far grander ambitions and has thus far been nailing them. Risky and spectacular storytelling.

Motor Girl is easily the best book this week, and I don't even need to read the rest of the books I bought to know it.

I am going to read it. I just haven't been in the mood lately to read a lot per day.

It stands to reason there would be big changes. They turned Wacky Races into fucking Mad Max with this line.
