Good evening owls of /co/,
Placeholder of we'll start in 30 or so
also lol at that cover text
>>78645552
Great cover.
I'm also starting the last arc of Mind MGMT tonight
>>78645552
Hello Storyteller.
>But doesn't he look cool on this cover?
If by "cool" you mean "looks like a character made by a lonely teenage girl", sure.
>>78645797
He would look better with a mask.
>>78645797
Lonely teenage girls are a major demographic!
>>78646458
>Lonely teenage girls are a major demographic!
Much to the delight of gothic horror and urban fantasy writers everywhere.
Also, these Sky Raiders are going to be annoying as fuck, I can already tell.
>>78646458
I finally read Totally Awesome Hulk
what a cute book, and Frank Cho, of course, makes sure that Amadeus doesn't look like a white boy
I think some people got made at the dick joke and Shulkie jokes, but they hate fun
>>78646458
These guys are going to hit every " young rebel" cliche aren't they?
>>78646545
I look forward to seeing them pwned
>>78646643
Oh my god, Clint really is Team Dad
>still want the Blade ongoing to be Blade continuously dadjoking his daughter while they fight vampires
>>78646701
>>still want the Blade ongoing to be Blade continuously dadjoking his daughter while they fight vampires
When's that coming, anyway? I think the initial solicit got cancelled
>>78646701
Moonstone is learned!
>>78646643
>I look forward to seeing them pwned
They're such obvious heels. Appropriate given one of our heroes is a former wrestler.
>>78646720
No idea, Seeley posted his WIP folder for it a month or so back showing how long the drafts have been developing
>>78646764
so Henry Gyrich kind of rings my "I know this jackass from somewhere" bell
>>78646729
In Jolts case,you can't put her in jail. She's not a criminal.
>>78646786
dat turtleneck
>>78646811
oh fuck, a sauna? clearly this place was built by Finns
I want a sauna so badly :(
>>78646701
>I don't care if you are a superhero, young lady. You're going to school, and that's final!
Pfffft!
>>78646729
Of course. Classy evil bitches are the best evil bitches.
>>78646849
delicious Songbird
how are you owls today?
>>78646872
>how are you owls today?
I accomplished absolutely nothing, but I kinda don't care
how are you OP?
>>78646905
Been coughing all day but got more sleep and got a shitload of errands run today
Finally made it to my LCS and heard what the guys I hadn't seen there in a while liked. They agreed with me about Hellcat.
>>78646971
>I'd know her anywhere by that rack!
>>78646971
>They agreed with me about Hellcat.
what's the consensus on that? I still haven't checked it out
>>78646872
Finally getting caught up on the end of Mind MGMT.
Never got around to it.Hope its great.
>>78647007
Pretty bland
He was also disappointed in Starbrand, as a hueg Weisman fan, and winced when I noted it'd probably get 6-8 issues
>>78646872
Heh. You're not the only one who can play people, Karla.
>How are you owls today?
Fine, if a little weirded out. In doing research for a writing thing, I found out that Saturn has 62 moons, and that Jupiter has 67. Astronomers must be able to go all day with this shit.
>>78647088
That is one fucking weird team, wow
>>78647000
Oof. It's a damn shame Man-Killer is an annoying rad-fem else I'd be in love. Dat BEEF.
>>78647088
>Pretty bland
Seems about right
I'm pretty leery of so many new female led titles being quirky goofy books now
>He was also disappointed in Starbrand, as a hueg Weisman fan, and winced when I noted it'd probably get 6-8 issues
That's a shame, I've heard really mixed opinions on the book, but yeah starring a pair of Literally Whos it isn't long for this world
I forgot Brett Booth was moving to Aquaman
at least he can draw butts
https://twitter.com/Demonpuppy/status/681179785037529088
>>78647112
>Black Widow
>Hercules
>Ghost Rider
>Iceman
.... And here I though the Defenders had a random ass roster.
>>78647112
it's the blandest little X-Man!
I also tried to convince the one dude there who shares my intense dislike of Byndis to give Omega Men more than one issue; he doesn't like how indirect/confusing the book is
>>78647257
You know, I can see that being inked in a manner that makes it work, but that would mean getting a better inker than he's had
Look at Black Magick, Nicola Scott's art painted/inked by herself? Hnnng.
>>78647326
>he doesn't like how indirect/confusing the book is
I heard the word "impenetrable" get thrown around a lot about OM
>>78647361
Songbird! What would Abe say?!?
>>78647370
Yeah, I said 1) really, it does clear up a lot after issue #1 2) it's an example of visual storytelling without explanatory captions smothering it
>>78647361
I think Booth gets stuck with shitty colors and inks a lot, true
if he can draw a lot of monsters and has a decent inker his Aquaman might actually look pretty decent
>Look at Black Magick, Nicola Scott's art painted/inked by herself? Hnnng.
God yes, her art is like 80% of the reason I like Black Magick as much as I do, it's fucking delicious
>>78647326
How fucking sad is it that despite him featuring prominently on the cover, I actually forgot he was going to be in this issue.
How does the blue motherfucker with feather wings manage to be so forgettable?
>>78647405
it also rewards you for paying attention and invites re-reading, something not many big two comics offer
it does clear up a lot after issue 1, and now that Kyle is doing more the Kylefags have less to complain about, Omega Men's not easily accessible but it's not some insurmountable task to read and I wish more people would give it a shot instead of making excuses not to
>>78647405
>Just what was the deal with that Onslaught guy anyway?
Heh!
>>78647401
he's in jail! a girl can look!
>>78647406
The inks need to NOT slavishly follow his lines lines lines pencils, but help maybe fuzz his sharper edges
>>78647515
Considering the bad publicity the X-Men have Warren,you should be more open minded.
>>78647452
Yeah, anything that you get to re-read with increased enjoyment is a huge bonus for me, and King has notably avoided using space to recap things. Downside is, of course, you just can't drop in and have it work, at all.
>>78647568
good call
>>78647649
KARLA
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE A VILLAIN A "GO FIND YOURSELF!" TALK
>>78647515
Yeah, the guy that usually inks his stuff actually draws way better faces than Booth, but he's too respectful and just traces instead of adding his style to the work.
>>78647726
Boo, add some style
>>78647630
You realize this whole fight was over a dinky old car, yes? That has the be one of the dumbest excuses for a hero vs hero fight ever.
>>78647662
She should've talked him into killing himself instead.
.... What? She could totally pull it off, and fucking nobody would miss Graviton.
>>78647326
I have to admit, Omega Men does make me feel a little stupid at times. I didn't get that Broot was actually dead until someone mentioned it here. I don't know how, on reread a character literally said Broot got killed.
>>78647870
Brooty :(
>>78647915
I think maybe I was just holding out hope. There have been a lot of fake deaths. The end is not being here. ;_;
>>78647915
No freedom of speech...but you get to be sexy and fly
let's sign up
>>78648002
Jolt is kind of right, but, well...
>>78646872
Just finished working an 11 hour shift so I'm kinda ded at the moment.
>>78648048
If Jolt gets expelled,then can she go?
>>78647870
He died off panel, although he wasn't looking so hot at the end of 5, if you were tired or skimming I can see you might miss it
>>78645797
Lonely teenage girls with odd feelings about the Blue Man Group deserve comics too.
>>78648065
rest your feet and read some comics!
"I've been in the X-Men, we get mind controlled all the fucking time"
>>78646701
>Charles Cole
Clint, I know subtlety doesn't come easy to a carnie in a purple jumpsuit, but that's bad even for you.
>>78648235
Is the price sex slavery?
>>78648257
The price is not breaking into the harem!
>>78648002
Gotta say, not digging his sales pitch. You gotta offer more for prospective citizens.
What's your economic model? Taxes? Basic utilities? Healthcare? What's Gravityville's cultural appeal? Is that tiny little chunk of rock all there is of the place?
Even after he's "found himself", Graviton still sucks. Goddamn.
>>78646849
If this was built by Finns, where is the freezing pool outside the sauna?
>>78648257
Guy has control over gravity,they threaten him with guns....
>>78648274
Sorry about that, my internet decided to chug cock there
also, that KRAKK panel has some OH EXPLOITABLE faces in it, wow
>>78648339
....true....
>>78647405
oh yeah , I remember Xavier made him eveade multiple rockets as warm up
>>78647112
Champions was basically the "Who's free right now?" team.
Gyrich was the Maria hill before bendis. Government asshole who caused problems for heroes/the avengers
>>78647179
Was she all that annoying in this run? All I remember her being weird about was not wanting to beat up other women.
>>78648257
>Ah, the local constabulary, I presume.
Local constabulary? Who talks like that?
>>78648274
..... This is really his plan. Graviton's plan is to force people to become his hos.
I'm a little bit shocked at just how pathetic this dude really is. Never shuts up about being master of the fundamental force, and yet the best he can come up with is building a harem. Holy shit.
>>78648471
I asked Brevoort on tumblr about it. They wanted an Angel/Iceman buddy book and it grew. I think Herc was on cause he left Avengers, Natasha had left Daredevil, and Ghost Rider was the hot new guy they were pushing
>>78648533
Found it, excuse no meme arrows
Tony Isabella pitched the series as an Iceman and Angel buddy book,the two of them having graduated from the X-Men.
The Editor in Chief at the time told him that this was a team book, and that as a team book it required certain elements:
A female member. That became Black Widow.
A strong guy. Hercules.
And a character who was headlining in his own title, to give the series a better chance of catching on. That was Ghost Rider.
>>78648418
Why is this page so fucking funny?
>>78647515
>Sane? We're superheroes, aren't we?
Mugga's got a point.
>>78648562
That makes a lot of sense, and, well, immortal teamups have come about from pretty random beginnings (Blue and Gold, Hawkman and Atom)
did you guys like Totally Awesome Hulk?
>>78648590
Its horny, rebellious teens shooting super heroes with normal guns.
>>78647821
in my opinion more hero vs hero fights should be over petty things like old cars or bad hairstyle or smelly armpits
>>78648633
previous page: laughing my ass off at 'highlander fans'
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
also, putting USAgent's crew right outside the People's Republic of Boulder is pretty funny
>>78648633
>did you guys like Totally Awesome Hulk?
I've been meaning to read it but I haven't gotten to it yet because I cannot make myself give even the slightest fuck about the Hulk, even if it is Pak writing Amadeus
I've heard good things, at least
>>78648562
>Iceman and Angel buddy book
I'd actually read that, done well it could have fleshed them out a bit. ANd I could see adding a third member that was a little out of nowhere, but three characters that had nothing to do with them?
>>78648698
It's legitimately funny, there's a plot hook to it, and Cho does draw a good comic on a number of levels: action, gags, beefcake/cheesecake both. But he's not very fast, is he? I hope fill-ins are well chosen.
>>78648590
>Why is this page so fucking funny?
A bunch of people in normal clothes are flying around attacking costumed supers.
All three bullets that hit Karla have managed to tag her breasts.
Atlas seems more annoyed by his assailants, as if they were flies he's trying to swat at.
Karla pointing out that obscenely cliche line of "They're as good as dead.".
Graviton posing like he's auditioning for Shakespeare.
>>78647821
>That has the be one of the dumbest excuses for a hero vs hero fight ever.
Didn't the Thor/Hercules literally start over one of them refusing to get out of the others way when crossing a bridge?
>>78648773
oh shit son, you've pissed off John Walker, because he may have a stick up his ass about the law, but he's also not a corporate stooge
>>78648791
Now that's a very classic trope, at least.
>>78648817
Bitches have leveled up their smack talk
>>78648389
I've come to appreciate Charcoal, he makes a good foil to Jolt and being a more or less normal kid turned into a monster by his dad is enough to differentiate him from Doomsday.I guess you could say I warmed up to him.
>>78649052
Boooo! boooo!
He's more interesting than I'd thought too.
>>78649084
He's Team Dad, Melissa. Of course he does.
>>78648791
At least that's fucking hilarious
>>78649050
Melissa and Karla are love.
They need their own Dirty Pair style mini.
>>78649106
Behold, there is cough syrup hidden in the bathroom!
Who else here is old enough to remember Denis Leary's NyQuil routine?
>>78649178
yessssss
let's watch some Dirty Pair some time, owls
>>78649316
we're fucked?
Thanks for reading, owls. Hoping to get my usual verve and pacing back up soon!
>>78649329
Thanks OP!
>>78646701
jolt a qt
>>78649329
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
Get better soon.
It's sad that our Bolts are getting beat by a villain this pathetic. Down with Gravatistan!
>>78649329
thanks OP!
thunderbump
>>78649106
Out of context, that last panel could be from porn.
>>78647662
am i hallucinating, or does the brunnette lady have a superman tattoo?
>>78651474
That's what I thought too
Guys I'm pretty heartbroken... Brevoort hasn't answered my tumblr questions yet
>>78651907
What did you ask him about?
>>78652000
Dick Ryder natch
>>78652034
>lol we're never going to bring him back
>tips fedora
there now you don't have to wait, I just simulated his answer for you
bump, like lightning
>>78654209
should ever appear
>>78646800
They were certainly trying like hell to arrest her after Zemo gave up on the Thunderbolts ruse.
>>78657135
to few threads ruined, but to all threads in good cheer
>>78647361
>Even if he is blue.
That is some long-term, alternate time-line foreshadowing there!
>>78647662
To be fair, Graviton was probably going to kill both the Thunderbolts and the Thunder Rods (except Mr. Immortal) if Karla didn't make that diplomacy roll.
>>78648418
The Thunderbolts losing transport craft they really can't afford to should be a long-running trope of the franchise.
>>78649106
Not that she isn't always hot but Melissa looks really good in the last panel there.
>>78649438
Graviton is only pathetic because of what an idiot he is; his power is ridiculously strong. He's like a grander version of Electro.
>>78658323
You're just saying that because that last panel looks like a money shot.
>>78658323
Just wait for Busiek to be away from the book, so the artists can start getting sexy with her.
Busiek vetoed it during his stay because she was based on his niece, IIRC.
