Duggan going "Oh, there's a reason Groot is small in my run!" in the reveal interview of ANGOTG was so funny. We all know it's just due to the movie(which took it from Conquest where Groot sacrificed himself and stayed small and back at base for the first proper GOTG issues).

Remember when Groot could talk and was kind of an ass

Why u only here now
What do you mean?
They are clearly making changes and we know they are talking to retailers. I would expect that to be a big complaint coming from the retailers, so it's not that crazy off an expectation.
no one remembers that
Then he died and it seemed his personality took a 180.

Well he impersonated the ruler of his planet so he could be space famous. He's kind of an ass regardless.

Yea, I liked it man! I have a big fondness for Peanuts from my childhood, and while it didn't blow me away, it definitely did push the right buttons. A lot of little moments in it felt *right*. It worked better plotwise as a series of smaller scenarios, which feels right considering the strips, than as an overall whole, but yea. It felt very true. They did a really good job with the animation too.

Sejic added one more couple to his final practice piece. NSFW like the last ones.
Pipeline by Rucka and Hammer was my favourite
Thanks - Sadly OOP and way out of my Pricerange right now.

Mmmm. Pulling the trigger on some rebirth trades today, trying to decide on Superman or not. Reviews have been great but it seems kind of engrained in the upcoming watchmeny stuff etc, folks who are onboard, does it read fine alone?

Superman on it's own has been great and mostly standalone stuff until this Superman Reborn arc, Action has been the book more engrained in the Mr. Oz stuff. The only arc that wasn't really on it's own of Superman was the set up for Super Sons and even it was fine on it's own.

Well, I'll definitely be following Super Sons, so I'm down with that. I think it's the reborn stuff you're referring to though, something I looked at recently made me a little wary. No interest in action, but if you feel Superman stands up fine in a bubble then that's cool.

Superman has definitely been pretty standalone from what I remember. This last arc was a Multiversity type thing that ended up having a Mr Oz appearance but it still worked fine on it's own. I think that has been the only Superman arc with any kind of ties like that.
I think it stands alone and is fucking great

Cheers guys, threw it in there. Worst that can happen is I'll use this volume to segue over to Super Sons if it gets too eventy for me, but sounds like it's fine.
Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, TEC, Nightwing vol 1s ordered then, and the Night Of The Monster Men HC since it's those last three together. I'll do another round at the beginning of April and try Harley, Deathstroke, maybe a few I skipped this time, Green Arrow & Suicide Squad or something.

Logan was pretty good, its a low bar I know but definitely the best wolverine film by a long way. I wouldn't put it up there with dark knight but I'd give it a good 8.5.
For positives I'd go for:
Great performances by Jackman, Stewart and the girl who plays X-23
I really liked the slower, more thoughtful tone, mixed with them finally being able to do wolverines fighting justice with the higher age rating
Though I would say the few things that stopped me rating higher:
I think it was a little too long almost and that will be more apparent in rewatches
The first part with drunk/mumbling Logan seemed to drag on way too long

I really enjoyed the twist of actually professor x being the one who killed the x-men rather than the expected wolverine as in old man logan, leading to stewarts emotional reveal later in the film.

Even though I got the symbolism of the clone logan, to show his past as a mindless killer he can never escape from, I still thought it was a little cheesy and cliche.

Hahah its part of the run though right, and kind of sets up Batwoman? See, Im picky about Superman tie ins but won't blink twice about a Batman event. Double standard me.

The stuff involved with it and that has come from it I actually like, but the farther we get away from the actual event the more I hate it. Even more because it seemed to knock Tec off of it's momentum and it's just now catching back up in a way.

Haha, I'll keep this in mind when I get to it. At least Rossmo's art looked nice in previews. That one was a couple of quid more expensive than the others too, since they went hardback with it >_<

I remember DC once said they wanted to put out their version of MAX books where they could show more nudity and sex.

This is great. But dammit render all extremities Sejic! Look at that foot
I think under 2 hours. We went in at 22:45 and it was finished at 01:30, when IRCC
Do you render everything in your warm-ups?

Re-read DC One Million to try out the new glasses. They work but man, I miss Morrison superhero books now. I so wish Multiversity Too and Batman B&W were dated for this year.
(Also, if you ever see a deal on the omnibus, tell me! Really want one before the 20th anniversary next year~)

I don't warm up
I think 'warm ups' are an excuse to draw something so you can maintain an online presence without giving away what you're actually working on
Not sure how much time Sejic spends on a 'warm up' like this. I know he's fast but I'll be surprised if he's spending less than 40 minutes on something like this. Nevermind the actual work of posting it on all the platforms you have.
Edit: damn freeza already knew what I was gonna say

Because shoving Captain Marvel in everyone's face wasn't enough. Marvel is going to double-down on this Inhumans thing no one even really cares about.

It's all about that Lockjaw. Who can't be excited for Lockjaw?
Inhumans are actually fun, interesting, and been active for 50 years.
