Harley 14 was fantastic! I know we're talking about Conner in art but Hardin may have drew the best issue of this run. Harley's facial expressions were just fantastic and really added so much to the story. This book deserves all the sales it gets, it is fantastic.

The days of Harley being a top book on comics-gaf are over and we are never going back.

I'm Vibranium on Steam, you guys can add me if you want. I may not be on a ton until I get my monitor back though- I've been waiting a while haha.

I have to say about this week's Thor:
It is totally Roz who wields the hammer, and I think she will die in some way around Secret Wars, to tie into how King Thor was so angry when his grandaughters mentioned her name in an earlier issue.

Force ghost John Kerry cracked me up as I was drawing. Good request, Zombine.

yo you did a really good job of emulating those artists.

have you tried drawing original stuff in say..david aja style?
Thanks, Disco. Hmm no not Aja. I've tried to sort of do a Samnee Superman before tho.


My natural style is a bit hmmm scratchier like in this piece


But I've tried to develop different styles for different styles of pieces.

Sorry for the image dump. You can check most of my work out at EdgarUVM.tumblr.com

Damn, that's an amazing Winter Soldier, ed, you should try drawing Bucky with the classic domino mask too!

Seriously though man, I would like you to do art on a WS book, you're very talented, much better than the guy who drew for #4 of Bucky Barnes.

Yoooooooooo this issue where the F4 are
nazis
was so good, goddamn Hickman

And then
its not even a what if, it's one of the council Reed's

Also FF#17 is one of my favorite comic issues ever. It was awesome with
Peter and Johnny being roommates...then they drink the alien mare milk, and it becomes amazing
.

Edit: err... I just saw
Annihilus on the toilet
. Comics are over, what's the point of reading any more
 
Results of the comic contest were put up and I didn't even make honorable mention
*le sigh*

Thank you for all the help, folks. I really appreciate it.


Fake edit: the guy I had pegged to win it all didn't make honorable mention either. They probably didn't think he could update on a weekly basis. His artwork was pretty stunning. I'll link it later. Right now, it's sleep time.
 
So, next week's stuff. Hm.

They posted. Pages from. A new Hawkeye. And I... felt feels. Goddamn you, Fraction. Goddamn you. Don't suck me in again. Not again.

Seriously, that Punisher art is bugging the SHIT outta me.

New Ant-Man! No! Two new Ant-Man books! One for the MCU and Scott Lang in Miami. Hyped!

Also, CBR and Comic Vine have advance reviews for the Black Hood from Archie comics new imprint. They seem impressed. Honestly? Sounds fantastic. I think I'll pick it up.

Though I hope they have a regular release schedule. Sabrina, you're fucking killing me. This is Hawkeye levels of delays at this point. What is your excuse, girl!?

 
Also, holy fuck. Another new horror title from Image!? Pisces?! Set during the Cold War!? Alien/space horror!? Hallucinations!? Body horror!?

Thank you, Image. Bless you.

Thanks again for this. I've started listening to the Mayo Report. I like it when Podcasts are to the point without too much "personality" filler and in-jokes.

I was given David Hasslehoff's autobiography, Making Waves, a few years back as a birthday present from a friend and as I was working as a projectionist at my local cinema I had a lot of down time between lacing up projectors and building films etc, so I read it. It's next level bonkers. Everything good in his life is a direct response to his actions, everything bad was completely out of his control. He basically talks like he was responsible for the Berlin Wall coming down and has a photo of him meeting Princess Diana in the middle of the book and calls her a "lonely soul". He's massively egotistical and it almost reads like a parody. It's both the best and worst book I've ever read.

Oh it is. I still like Batgirl though, more than Gail Simone's run.

Ohh man I have to disagree so hard with this. Gail Simone's run on Batgirl is about 500x better. At least Barbara felt like Barbara, and was doing Batgirl things. If it wasn't for the art I would have dropped the new Batgirl already, hell I'm giving it one more issue to not have terrible writing before I drop it.
 
X-Madrox continues to be the best mutant book i've ever read.

Then again, my mutie exposure was mostly 90's wolverine.

I'll second that you should really read Planetary if you haven't yet.

I kind of agree with you on this. I didn't really "enjoy" Gail Simone's run what I read of it anyway, I'd read a couple but it just didn't grip me, so when they started showing off the art for this new run I got excited (because anything that strays that far from DC house style is a good move in my eyes), but it doesn't fit tonally with anything that's come before. It's almost like when she moved she became a different person. It's hard to say whether the previous run was too dark or this is too fluffy, but it's like they're trying to copy some of the more colourful Marvel books with wacky characters and have this book be all flashy and colours but they've forgotten that the story needs to be good too and you can't just have someone turn from dark and broody to bouncy and punchy.

I don't know, I'm speaking as someone who didn't read much Batgirl before so I'm torn. The new art drew me in but it feels a little weird as part of the Bat-Family. But then again Grayson is all sorts of fun so maybe it's just the darkness of the Batman titles and how Batgirl's been portrayed before that's making it seem so different. Again, feel free to dismiss my opinion as a relatively new reader of the title.

I read Planetary back in the day, along with Transmetropolitan and Preacher

its not the crazyness per se that blows my mind, its the crazyness in a Marvel setting. just like remenders shit on x-force and whatnot

Then again, my mutie exposure was mostly 90's wolverine.

How long before we get the "are you a mutie?" scene but replaced with "are you an inhumie?"

the power of the until now unknown retcongenesis, the strongest of the inhuman transformations
