Good evening owls of /co/,

someone on twitter is posting Michael Turner Supergirl art, and yeah that's really going to appeal to the target demo :|
>>81383885

>>81383885
Speaking of Kara, i wish lupa could draw more of her.
>>81383838
Hello Storyteller.
Not even 30 issues, eh? Typical.
>>81383974
it's gorgeous outside, so I was tempted to skiv off
that top panel is oh exploitable
>>81383977
She had a fairly good run, all things considered? Didn't she also work on the digital series?
>>81384146
In the coming up issues.
>>81384114
What's Lupa on now, I forget--but presumably it's trading arcs so it's not the full-time ongoing she found too much
>>81383977
I think she's doing the covers on the Orlando ongoing.

Also my furnace stopped working and I am currently freezing my ass off

>>81383885
What's the target demographic, and what is the art like?
>>81384505
not even with a rented...
>>81384505
Is he a bad writer, or was he just simply a poor fit for Earth 2?
>>81383885
Who does that appeal to? I don't even see it appealing to the cheesecake crowd, the proportions are so weird.
>>81384406
Really edger to hear more about this series.
I really hope it's Earth-11, but it's going to not be, isn't it?
>>81384505

>>81384786
Aw, did the big words hurt your little brain?
>>81384505
This is such a weird book, because DC pitched it to him, and it's a completely original property.
Why?

More like this is why we can't have letters pages anymore.
>>81385208
Just because he's dead doesn't mean I can't say he wasn't very good at drawing.
>>81385151
>>81385208
You know it's a slow news day when people are bitching about a dead man.
>>81385156

I know they don't know he's dead but it still tickles me for some reason.
Especially when there's other peoples' art to complain about.

>>81384705
>http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/04/28/a-rather-lame-defense-of-michael-turner/
I don't exactly expect CBR to be high end or thoughtful analytical dissections of anything - I mean, they're the fucking guys with the Alonso Softball Hour - but jesus, year to year to year, they'd really go out on a limb for just about any mediocre to bad superhero thing, wouldn't they?

Shut the fuck up, Vril. You did the exact same goddamned thing.
>>81386068

Nah, he's just roleplaying to spice up his murder life.
>>81386109
Yeah, but he wasn't dumb enough to think he could control them.

It's so hard to remember anything about Sovereign Seven.
>>81386417
LET US FORGET
PLEASE
>>81386489
yeah, this is pretty /d/
>>81386125
I like how despite being super peaceful, the Czarnians all look like hardcore goth rockers. Like a whole species of KISS cosplayers. It's kind of adorable in a way.
>>81386514
>>81386546
It is!

I like when villains manage to form friendships with each other. Makes them feels more like people rather than plot devices.

>>81386903

>>81387042
Such a Brainiac thing to do...
>>81387042
>>81386903
>>81386975
Sigh. Look, last time Dox got involved with an orange gal, it ended up badly for everyone involved.
If you two really want a piece of the other, just watch yourselves, okay? For the sake of galactic security, take it slow.
>>81387129
he clearly has a type: orange, kinky, capable of killing him...
>>81387129
Or at least use protection. Safe sex saves the lives of the galactic population.
>>81387158
oh gosh this is one of my favorite tropes
>>81387187
To be fair, I don't know if there's any protection that would have stopped Stealth's biology
>>81387042
>killing the patient so they can be brought back to life
Is Lyrl a Girl Genius fan? Cause he's taking a page directly out of Agatha's playbook.

Lyrl, you little shit. We're never going to hear the end of this if it works.

DC is too kind to us
>>81387188
But how do you drink through a Starro?
>>81387845
I wonder if this was a DD save special
>>81387866
Oh, bless his heart...
>>81387856
what's worse, a Starro or the Heinrich Zemo Adhesive X accident?
>>81387866
It must be, right? Who else is known for saving niche properties like this
>>81387866
>i shall make you both my concubines
this guys name is now /d/arro or star/d/ your pick
>>81387893
Starfire, this is no time to blush like an anime schoolgirl. Or maybe it is, it's the last issue.
>>81387893
>dat Kori blush
Komand'r, don't tease.
>>81387968

It's Retarr/d/.
>>81387866
>How do you reconcile critical acclaim and raw sales numbers? Does a book not selling well but getting good press get more leeway in terms of when the decision gets made to cancel?
>More concretely, I think R.E.B.E.L.S. is a great comic and seems to have good buzz but isn't selling very well. I hope that DC gives the book some time to find and cultivate a larger audience.
>DiDio: The answer is that we are giving R.E.B.E.L.S. every chance to succeed. The wonderful things about R.E.B.E.L.S. that other books like Jonah Hex do not have, is R.E.B.E.L.S. has the opportunity to cross over into things like Blackest Night. And that's one of the reasons we wanted R.E.B.E.L.S. to be part of Blackest Night. We do believe in the book and I think that people should be reading it. So if this gives us a chance to show people the book, then great, because I don't think they're going to be disappointed.
It did get a brief Blackest Night bump, quickly dropped back off of course.
>>81388071
so i started Perez Wondy. it's what everyone says. Legendary
Why is Hermes the one male god who gives powers to Wonder Woman?now i'm terrified i missed apollo and this is a dumb question
>>81387968
Adhesive X is why i can never take Zemo flashbacks seriously
>>81387968
Adhesive X. I mean, you might get a Starro that's high enough on your face that you can still drink.
>>81388100
;____;
>>81388160
Ciji is so cute
>>81388109
Hermes is cool like that?
>>81387042
Isn't that a supervillain from the Legion?
>>81388184
LOL
O
L
>>81388109
I forget, but there is some spectacular Hermes later in the run
>>81388100
>critical acclaim, yet sold like shit
Sounds like nerds just have shit taste. Story of our lives.
>>81388109
>Why is Hermes the one male god who gives powers to Wonder Woman?
He's the only dude who's on board with the whole Amazon idea. The other males are either against it, or not interested. If you're only on the initial six-issues, I believe this has been explained already.
>>81388288
You're thinking of Validus
>>81388288
It's never really explained where Tribulus comes from but the makeup of this round of R.E.B.E.L.S. is explicitly modeled on the Legion
>>81388100
Thank you based Didio
>>81388290
Sexy Jill Thompson Hermes.
>>81388319
I hate this cult to Didio that's been popping up recently.
>>81388100
>seems to have good buzz but isn't selling very well
Why must it always be like this
>>81388364
He's not perfect but I love when he sticks his neck out for good books.
It's always the ones I like too ;_;
>>81388160
>>81388184
Ciji is adorable. Shame she ultimately didn't do much in this run. I was looking forward to the antics of Vril having a new durlan buddy.
>>81388288
Tribulus is basically not-Validus, yeah.
>>81388318
>>81388430
guess what time it is?
>>81387968
Starro, obviously.
>>81388467
yep
>>81388514
>>81388430
Why does everyone on Rann have a knife?
>>81388430
Ugh. Fuck you, Starro. The Happening was a terrible movie.
>>81388290
>>81388362
>suddenly remember all that Hermes thirst when we ran Perez Wondy
Oh dear...
Bringing Starro back was a mistake IMO.
>>81388542
>>81388651
it's official~
>>81388634
I think it was a "we got one last arc so let's kind of wrap it up" decision but yeah, it's kind of a retread.
>>81388565
Not gonna lie, I'm thirsty as fuck for Vril.
>>81388514
>>81388542
Isn't this basically the climax to that Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie? Oh, I'm sorry, "Real Steel".
>>81388545
.... Uh.... Hm.
>>81388545
Because a fist only goes so far.
>>81388693
Best asshole husbando.
>>81384238
I'm going to be very surprised if this has the apparent end.
>>81388684
at least Parker brought us back to Rannian Alanna even if she's half and didn't know it
ngl I like the look of birdman Hermes better
>>81388684

Oh for the love of all that's holy in the universe. May whatever gods exist have mercy on all of us.

>>81388885

Thanks for reading, owls. Tomorrow: whatever point in earlier DC Cosmic we missed, I'll figure out where we should start to fill in the blanks.

>>81388926
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
>Good thing L.E.G.I.O.N is always here to stay.
.... FUCK. That's just cruel. We need cosmic DC back, dammit. Hopefully the post-Rebirth plans Johns has will rectify this.
>>81388926
What a fun run.
>>81388684
pretty good ship, I can't complain
>>81388926
Thanks as always OP.
>modern non-GL cosmic DC books will never succeed financially
Why are comic readers such plebs?
>>81388887

Can't compete with the Dick. Starfires first love, best looking man on the universe and trained in all the secrets of the Kama Sutra.
>>81388887
ok who's gonna draw/write the smut?i can write some
>>81386903
She is so the dom. It fits a pattern thought - Dox spends so much time taking control of things, maybe he just needs a chance to give up control occasionally.
>Vril > Querl > Braniac >>> Lyrl >>> Braniac 4

>>81388809
Parker as in the writer of Cagebolts?
>>81390223i haven't written in forever i could take a request to try and get back into shape
>>81390326
It doesn't matter, anon
>>81390595
It does. Mom was a bitch, but Dad was just dull.
>>81390656
But either way, they're still in last place.
>>81390714
I feel like Dad deserves some kind of recognition for being the shittiest shittiest Brainiac.
>>81390361
Yeah. His JLU also involved the Stranges, picking them up from Lemire and kind of fixing Alanna's background.
>>81391173
Thank you. I really need to read that.
>>81385028
None too surprising.
Cap's an earnest, honest boyscout, Clint's a loveable dork.
It's an archetype that Johns excelts at.
>>81385151
Maybe they just didn't know. Maybe all they knew was the cast and not the...content.
>>81386417
Didn't Desaad do something similar to this with Batman too?
>>81390656
Hey, Threeboot Brainy's mom last conscious thought was a lullaby she used to sing to Brainy.
I'm not sure what that means, but it's got meaning.
>>81394781
Threeboot missed some opportunities by not including more of the parents. The only ones with any screentime were Lyle's and Imra's. Though at least Saturn Mom was cool.
B.U.M.P.
>>81399015
I dunno anon. It's the Legion of Super-Heroes, not the Legion of Super-Heroes' Moms
>>81403614
Yeah, but in the other runs we got to see their parents occasionally and get some idea of what their upbringing was like.

>Dat feel when we'll never get to see the payoff of the Czarian clone army vs. red Lantern Lobo
Considering the properties with Czarian blood + the properties with napalm blood for RLs it would have been a sight to see.
Sadly ongoing non GLC DC cosmic books just can't survive but I think it could be doable as miniseries like the Mystery in Space, Weird Worlds, and My Greatest Adventure were
>>81403868
Why do you most want to see? I guess actually I do like the backgrounds of my favourite legion combo, with one being the chosen champion of a goth-y warrior culture and the other having been experimented on by her mad scientist father to get powers (but not like, in a bad parent way just for fun).
