Good evening owls of /co/,
we survived THE CULLING
>>82424268
Hey I'm making the faces the Legionnaires are making!
>>82424268
The Culling was actually not quite as bad as I was expecting. Mostly because it seems like very little happened in it.
Like, the only lasting effects were what, a short lived Ravagers book and a time sphere? And four issues of really stupid fights?
>>82424268
More Wondy Rebirth art
>>82422076
I hope Nicola posts a little something soon
>>82424268
Gates, Utopian little commie that he is, is freaking. They found Tyroc's porn collection and Yera is just calling shenanigans.
>>82424268
Apparently, BD Wong is killing it right now in Gotham.
hey, Afterlife with Archie is still a thing
http://www.vulture.com/2016/04/afterlife-with-archie-return-issues.html
How come the other night everyone was calling for Gravity Kid to be undressed?
Also what do you guys call the second reboot of LoSH?
Why is Gates so popular?
Claremont/Byrne X-Men is unbelievable. I had forgotten the greatness
>>82424395
Josie!!
>>82424390
good for him
>>82424425
Threeboot is the Eat It Grandpa! Legion.

>Why is Gates so popular?
Several reasons, but I'll give you this quick sequence
>>82424375
speaking of Wondy, the Great Cho Freakout is still going on, with a piece that got some serious pushback/shade on it from Horrocks, and twitter is not loading or I'd link right now
>>82424425
Gravity Kid was first drawn in a Grell-style costume by Phil Jimenez
Threeboot
Gates is love, Gates is life
>>82424425
>How come the other night everyone was calling for Gravity Kid to be undressed?
Because he basically wore Cosmic Boy's hand me downs when he was in Legion Academy.
>Also what do you guys call the second reboot of LoSH?
The Zero Hour one? Reboot or Archie Legion are the most common.
>Why is Gates so popular?
Communist space bug. Non-humanoid Legionnaire. Diverse and unique.
>>82424425
>>82424487
also he has big cute bug eyes for the entire Archie run
>>82424494
also captcha is being awful to me
>>82424268
Hello Storyteller, it's once again time, though I'm in an odd mood, so don't mind the rhyme.
Honestly now, I feel a bit shit, for last my soul took a bit of a hit.
No more than a bruise from that Hunger Games clone, though I overslept, and read The Culling alone.
It might've hurt less with some friendly hellos, but I powered through that shit with none of my fellows.
Many critiques one holds under thumb, but most pressing off all; Harvest's plan is fucking dumb.
So he needs himself soldiers, and so are his means, a battle royal between kidnapped teens.
He makes them fight to the death, does he think that will work? Flies favor honey over vinegar, you ignorant jerk.
Pardon the indulgence, I just needed to vent. Let's proceed with the ongoing, and how it gets twisted and bent.
Oh, and Ti'Julk just finds a Time Sphere, primed for hijack. How convenient, Lobdell, you unbelievable hack.
>>82424307
Real talk: Something about Brin's "little bug" thing is making me ship it.
>>82424539
This is what the Culling does to people. It makes them talk like a Dr. Seuss.
We ever find out what Harvest needed the Ravagers for anyway?
Ah guys look how happy he is
https://twitter.com/robertliefeld/status/727182182385512450
realizing now I need to make some image macro about Gates with the Regina George explanation from Mean Girls
>>82424531
okay so twitter link:
twitter.com/mercurialblonde/status/727232376057679872
also there's a Newsarama interview with Tom King:
>I mean I have ideas, but I’m not in this to just work for a while then go over to Image for a creator-owned title. That’s not my career path that I see for myself. That Robert Kirkman path that he laid out in 2007 or so where everybody went that’s insane, nobody would ever do that, now everybody does it. I want to write the best corporate comics that have ever been corporatized. I’m sorry [laughs] I’m a complete sell out.
>>82424539
<3 <3 <3
>>82424599
d'awww
>>82424605
I enjoy someone up front saying they're a sell out.Gonna be sad when he's broken in a few years
now save my favorite DC character King
that article was so weird. and it's ridiculous that Spider Woman stuff is still happening and that it was 2 years ago.
>>82424629
this lettering is so frustrating
>>82424673
On the one hand, I am super-fucking-tired of seeing that Spider-Woman pose. On the other hand, getting mad about it serves no purpose other than validating people who want to use it to be annoying.
The rhetorical slippage in that article from drawn representations to actual women makes me 'yikes' on every level. And the invocation of teenies is just eye-rolling.
>>82424487
>>82424510
Okay yeah that's pretty good. I missed the storytimes with his stuff, I guess.
>>82424494
>>82424480
When I asked before, though, you said that it was called Threeboot because it was the third reboot. Doesn't that mean there was a second reboot between Reboot and Threeboot?
>>82424539
I think I prefer youbitchydesu
>>82424808
>When I asked before, though, you said that it was called Threeboot because it was the third reboot. Doesn't that mean there was a second reboot between Reboot and Threeboot?
threeboot was the third version of the LOSH
>>82424743
It's a little bit of a been-there-done-that from the GTA3 days, where it's a lot of "do you believe in the separation of fiction and reality or are you bizarro grant morrison."
Fiction is where illegal things belong, and they should be done there freely.
>>82424743
Agreed. atleast the money is going to something positive
First and foremost, I want to thank all my fans and decent strangers who stood with me and supported me throughout the week. You guys and gals are the reasons why common sense will prevail over knee-jerk overreaction.
There are things you need to be outraged about. There are things you need to rally against. There are things you need to call out and fight with all your might. But an unpublished drawing of a pretty fictional woman by an artist to show to his fans on his website is not one of them.
The outcry over my drawing by the misguided few is nonsensical and simply stupid. It is an outcry over an imaginary slight, and an outcry of the desperate who want to make a name for themselves in the industry. It was fascinating, amusing and appalling to see the overzealous critics of my art use faux outrage to air their personal demons and imagined injustices in the world. I can’t stress enough what utter nonsense and a waste of energy this whole event has been.
There are many real problems that deserve the attention and effort this make-believe scandal has unfairly received, problems I want to help fix. I’m going to use the publicity generated by this Spider-Gwen drawing and create something positive out of it by showcasing one of the more deserving charities – House of Ruth, a charity that helps battered women and broken families find safe haven in this world of threats and violence.
I am donating the money generated by my Spider-Gwen drawing to House of Ruth, a real charity that deals with and solves real problems.
>>82424605
>I want to write the best corporate comics that have ever been corporatized. I’m sorry [laughs] I’m a complete sell out.
it's okay Tom. I will love you even if all you write are great cape books
>>82424597
>We ever find out what Harvest needed the Ravagers for anyway?
Allegedly he's from the future where humans and meta humans are at war or some shit, and he needs soldiers to fight for him. Though frankly, with how utterly bullshit his own powers and plot convenience "I knew you'd do that!" planning are, seems like he should be able to just take all his enemies on himself.
Harvest is so full of shit.
>>82424494
The thing that got me on the Cho stuff is when I realized that it only started up recently (vs when the issues were solicited months ago) because Bleeding Cool wrote an article about it. It scares me that anyone would use that for their primary source of comics information.
>>82424814
framing drawing in terms of consent is kind of a ??? to me, I admit
>>82424605
> That’s not my career path that I see for myself.
You're still gonna let Sheriff be a show tho right
>>82424838
I kept thinking "Fandom has been through this dance over and over and over again"; the most recent iteration I've seen was, frex, people trying to shame other people who were writing Reylo fic because YOU'RE MODELING ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS FOR TEENAGE GIRLS YOU SICK FUCK
>>82424605
>Marvel Comics has allowed Frank Cho to draw and draw and draw Spider-Gwen in this anus-up pose,
I've been giggling at "anus-up pose" for several seconds
I am a mature adult
>>82424916
that said, it's not like there's no influence that art has on individuals within society, but it's not a simple feedback loop either.
>>82424924
Oh, that's the OTHER place where it gets ooky is where she says "Marvel by not issuing a press release about those commissions is by silence giving approval". Because what artists want and need is company oversight of sketches. That wouldn't cause an uproar at all.
>>82424924
Same
Though I dunno why they think marvel will make him stop if he's drawing anything less than CP
>>82424689
>this lettering is so frustrating
it gets me every time we go back to this book
>>82424882
>You're still gonna let Sheriff be a show tho right
Not up to him, WB controls everything in the TV/film rights for Vertigo
>>82424961
this is 100% inferior to AMERICAN KAIJU, ngl
>>82424375
The art is looking solid. Nice sense of atmosphere. Not really sure how I feel about the cape though. That's usually meant as part of Diana's ambassador regalia.
>>82424808
>I think I prefer you bitchy desu
The Culling is draining. It's one of those bad comics that's bad because almost nothing actually happens.
Or are you saying my rhymes could use work? Because that's fair.
>>82424924
Can being upside-down or falling be an anus-up pose? Because oh boy am I finding out weird new things about Superman and Gwen Stacy's death.
>>82424961
>Because what artists want and need is company oversight of sketches. That wouldn't cause an uproar at all.
oh yes, I'm sure artists would be overjoyed if their bosses and editors started meddling with their commissions too. let's get right on that!
and why do people think Marvel fired him? I thought his exclusive was up
>>82425004
>>82424916
But, like, if you give those sycophants any credibility by listening seriously to their inane views, you deserve to have them make you feel bad.
>>82425035
I think if you ass is prominently displayed then clearly you are just bragging about your anus and I think it should count as an anus-up pose
Spider-man is the most anusy hero around
>>82424961
>Because what artists want and need is company oversight of sketches. That wouldn't cause an uproar at all.
Reminds me of when some fans were furious that the SU creators said all fan art was fine
>>82425037
I don't know either, I keep seeing this HE GOT FIRED, whereas 1) his exclusive was up 2) he never does a long stint on a monthly, he did an opening arc to launch a book that he clearly had a personal stake in
>>82424989
Moy has actual lewd commissions of the Archie teens from the 00s (Ayla, for one), and didn't he just do an issue or two maybe a week's storytime ago?
>>82425088
and that was after they had harassed someone to a suicide attempt
people are so dumb
>>82425068
In the case of fandom stuff it can be important, I think, to stand up and say "lol no" openly to the shamers to let people who are being shamed know that other POVs are out there. The lurkers are reading, etc.
>>82425105
He did the XS story in a backup
>>82425103
I remember seeing people saying roughly " Manara will be lucky if Marvel ever hires him again" as if he needed the work
>>82425137
Because the goal of people in fandom with "Writing Reylo is equivalent to abuse" is to control what kinds of fan product are made and sway it towards what they want to read or see. I want fandom to do what it wants to do instead.
>>82425005
I just sort of rolled my eyes when I saw the entire post of rhymes. It was clever before, but...
>>82425005
They're saying the cape is only a ceremonial thing in their run too.
>>82425172
Horrocks also had some tweets excoriating people who dismissed both Manara and Frank Miller as "bad art" offhand
her commentary on Liefeld is interesting shit
>>82425184
Reylo IS retarded though.
>>82425103
I guess people are going to twist "he is not currently doing work at Marvel and is now doing stuff for DC" into "Marvel fired him and DC hired him!" ??? but why
and yeah I don't recall him doing long stints in general (and especially not after his commissions took off) so it's weird people are twisting normal work flow for a now-freelancer into their own narrative purposes
>>82425126
I'll tell you, though, the lengths people will go to harass people has motivated me to chill the hell out. If I'm even vaguely annoyed at a thing, I can be sure someone else has already sent them sixty death threats and I don't need to do anything but move on.
>>82425184
Aww, this book could use a beach issue.
>>82424916
I disagree, Drake. Words could go a long way to resolving the situation. For example, Yera could try explaining just what in the hell her deal is.
And speaking of Yera, The Culling retconned more than just that, since you may recall that Yera and Gim were still happily married in Retroboot, while The Culling implyied they had been divorced for a long time. So unless the fucking Time Trapper pulled a Mephisto, this a bullshit continuity error before the event itself even starts proper.
>>82425225
I haven't seen the movie and I have no opinions on it, but if it makes people happy to write it what the fuck, they can write it, it's not a moral failing to do so
>>82425225
it is but people can still write it if they want, it's not like there's a shortage of other TFA pairings to read
>>82425223
>her commentary on Liefeld is interesting shit
I've seen a couple of respected indie people defend his art. Ed Piskor the guy who does Hip Hop Family Tree loves 90's Image and it baffles some people in the alt scene
Remember when Claremont and Manara did a X-Ladies one shot
>>82425223
Dem Miller fan recolors doe.
>>82425286
Share them with the rest of the class, Bimmy.
>>82425247
This is making me wonder what FabNic's original long game was because I think we all know he doesn't write anything without ideas for 30 issues down the line, and it reeked of said long game from the start
>>82425037
>and why do people think Marvel fired him?
Because they often don't pay attention to details or said details never reach far enough
And Cho never does long stints on books anyway. He makes so much on commissions now he probably doesn't even need to do ongoings anymore.
>>82425286
>Dem Miller fan recolors doe.
Too bad they were already taken down
>>82425317
btw, counting up issues, Jason Todd has now been written more by Lobdell than by any other writer
>>82425066
Oh look, it's Not-GI-Joe. Complete with goofy nicknames.
>>82425313
>>82425360
Nothing stays gone on the internet!
>>82420077
>>82425318
I remember when someone once tried to tell me ANGR was about Alexandra, and I should read it because female GR and her brother are cute.
As one of the six people who actually bought ANGR after Trad left, that was pretty sad.
>>82425286
Man it's hard to believe that came out like six years ago
I wish it came out today so I could see the reaction to it
>>82425366
>>82425366
I found the Horrocks Liefled posts, thanks for that
https://mercurialblonde.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/my-love-for-rob-liefeld-x-force-comics-part-i-of-iii-color-in-x-force-4/
>>82425317
Literally every Legion member in this series has a sub-plot of some kind that ends up unresolved by the end of the series. It's infuriating.
>>82425366
>One down... six to go.
This reeks of "Tonight, a Titan DIES!".
>>82425317
It was probably a lot more interesting than whatever replaced it. The implication now is that Harvest was the one behind the hypertaxis virus, which makes no sense.
>>82425444
does this mean there was boulder-punching???
>>82425411
I can't see what problems people would have
>>82425396
Hot damn. I would have paid attention to a book colored like that.
>>82425366
>Jason Todd has now been written more by Lobdell than by any other writer
How horrifying
Poor thing
>>82425481
It makes no sense, and Yera is also now randomly cryptically evil
>>82425500
now THAT'S an ass
>>82425223
Brin's wildly inaccurate Timberwolves tank top returns.
>>82425366
>Jason Todd has now been written more by Lobdell than by any other writer
I would not even wish this on my least favorite character.
I want to know how fast Lobdell is taken off the second Jason/Red Hood is confirmed for the Batman solo movie.
>>82425500
Those faces get me every time.
>>82425540
>>82425396
>There's nothing wrong with Miller's recent art, DC just doesn't know how to treat it.
Someone's in deep denial. That art looks like shit, dude.
>>82425444
>Meta-Marines
....
>>82425586
You never will, because that won't ever happen. Batman only.
>>82425614
Anon pls you know they'll do it to have fangirl bait and to shove the Joker in there.
>>82425601
>>82425603
it's no
YUUU
ESSS
AYYY
that's for sure
>>82425663
You can do that with a regular Bats movie.
>>82425678
>>82425519
And that really pissed me off back then because she'smy waifu. Also as that anon said they never resolved her subplot, hers or anyone else's.
>>82425603
Yeah I know Miller's anatomy has been questionable at times before TDKSA and all that, but it's so bad now it can be downright unpleasant to look at.
And having a pink background won't hide the fact that Catwoman has the tail coming out of her asshole instead of slightly above her butt.
http://www.comicosity.com/interview-jeff-parker-and-doc-shaner-face-the-future-quest/
Future Quest looks pretty sweet
>>82425500
This is amazing
>>82425706
oh boy more relationship bullshit drama
>>82425774
I know right?
The Scooby Doo one looked pretty neat too.
I hate it though since I also want the Young Animal stuff in addition to what I'm already pulling and some Rebirth stuff...
>>82425776
Yep that's Claremont and Manara alright.
>>82425774
OH GOD THAT DOG IS PERFECT
>>82425776
I'm a little surprised the third panel wasn't whoever that is (Kitty?) burying her face in Storm's ass
>>82425783
what do we think about the Scooby Apocalypse pages?
>>82425500
I know I'm supposed to be staring at the asses, but what's wrong with their noses?
>>82425845
Manara's faces can be pretty gross.
The spider woman one looked like her face was smashed with a brick.
>>82425500
That skull is checking Storm out.
>>82425489
When did Brin find time to play Resident Evil?
>>82425774
MSG: That begs the question, in talking about this book, there’s a lot of talk about who this book is designed for. It would be pretty unlikely to be exclusively meant for only people who watched the original cartoon when it was first on. How are you each honoring the past and the future of these characters?
JP: Ha! I knew you were going to go there.
Some of the fun of this will be that many modern readers haven’t seen any of that source material. We certainly don’t expect anyone to know anything about it. You don’t have to. All you need to know is what you see in our story.
DC also just recently approved what we’re calling “The Vortex Issues,” where we’re going back to tell some short stories about the characters from before Future Quest happens. I’m really excited about that. It’s really going to round it out and give readers some insight into characters that focus just on them. Birdman, Herculoids, Frankenstein Jr. You’ll get to see our interpretation as they go into this, but by themselves.
Parker is smart
>>82425838
I'm digging it
>>82425845
he draws itty bitty noses and fish lips on all his women
>>82425838
Apocalypse may make me like a version of Daphne.
>>82425896
Toth is such a clear influence on Shaner and Parker both as artists
>>82425938
>>82425865
I know complaining about sameface is kind of a lost cause in comics, but usually at least the artists have pleasant faces to copy endlessly.
>>82425982
>>82425898
Faces are not one of Manara's strengths unless he spends the time focusing on them
>>82426034
'Zorak' makes me think of SGC2C
>>82426074
Everyone in this X-Women looks like they're a few panels away from making out/fucking, it's insane
>>82426093
this is the Wildfire subplot I never, ever want to see again
>>82426074
Good times. Although my parents usually didn't let me stay up that late, so I was more used to him from Cartoon Planet.
>>82426034
Anyone else get really fucking sick of future people bitching about how current medical technology sucks? Especially when they compare it to genuinely barbaric shit like leeches and bloodletting.
>>82426118
I would rather see Wildfire's quest for a way to fuck.
>>82426108
Just like Claremont wanted
>>82426169
Yes
It's also galling when it's Amazons with their amazing tech
>>82426135
I remember seeing SGC2C early on in its first run and being all "how the FUCK did this get onto television?"
that reaction has not changed one bit
>>82425678
>it's no
>YUUU
>ESSS
>AYYY
I mean really though, what is?
>>82426239
we are lucky to have Ewing doing something worthwhile
>>82426246
whoever wrote that next issue caption should be taken out and shot for the good of comics
>>82426169
I remember watching Star Wars IV and getting upset at McCoy bitching about doctors using dialysis machines instead of giving people pills that regrow kidneys.
>>82426169
Could be worse. They could be talking shit about Hot Dogs, like a gaggle of britbongs.
>>82426273
You mean Defalco.
>>82426202
Especially when they weren't around for leeches and bloodletting.
>>82426229
It's pretty genius, it's the deliberately worst talk show ever.
>>82426275
I remember getting upset that he had a kidney growing pill on hand, how often does he even need to use those that he keeps them in a last ditch emergency kit?
>>82426273
It's not even endearingly stupid.
>>82426303
I don't know if writers always control that part of issues; I know they don't control cover blurbs
>>82426340
Moltar is my favorite, although Zorak is close
>>82426169
I get your point from a reader/writer perspective (it is overdone), but at the same time our gas was out once and I was bitching because I had to heat water with a kettle to wash my hands comfortably. It's not hard to imagine that sort of frustration and annoyance at not having things that feel basic kind of build up on you and come out when it is kind of a life or death thing.
>>82426386
>>82426386
But seriously, can we just bop Defalco for this in general?also part 4 anime is killing me, they cut episode 5 really well at the end and i went from salty tears to laughing my ass off in about a minute
>>82426403
It's hard to do it well, I think
>>82426275
I'll bet anything that said pills are at least partially due to alien science, too. Sorry we can't pull deus ex machinas out of our asses, Bones.
>>82426202
>>82426313
The Amazons don't even have advanced tech often enough for that to be common.
the lack of shame is admirable really
>>82426034
Dawny, if you have a better way of dealing with a bullet besides pulling it out and stitching up the flesh and muscles, I'm sure the we'd all be glad to hear it.
Til then, shut the fuck up.
>>82426403
Right, but if you were at somebody else's house and they didn't have a functioning hot water heater, would your reaction be "God, what kind of retard are you that you don't have hot water?"
>>82426443
yes, we can blame DeFalco
apparently he was involved with World's End at first, too
>>82426484
>>82426453
if you told me that was from one of his actual erotica comics I'd believe you
>>82426374
I view Star Trek 4 as the biologist's self-insert fic. Unhappy with the world, she writes herself into Star Trek's utopian future.
>>82426482
so really they're just rude
>>82424510
>>82424487
Todd Nauck is underrated.
Cartoony but fitting when used properly.
>>82426509
>>82426482
Yes.
How do you not have hot running water, its the current year for god's sake.
>>82426453
Their fucking lips are bigger than their noses, this is killing me.
>>82426535
wrong Horrocks in this case
>>82426453
All of those faces are so nasty
>>82426229
Is it just me, or is Metamerican and the other lady basically Maria Hill and Steve Rogers, DC edition?
>>82426525
that actually makes a surprising amount of sense
>>82426551
It's...always the current year?
>>82424605
That "The Prophecy--! I was a fool to think I could escape it." thought bubble seems tailor made for photoshopping into anything anywhere.
>>82426551
Our water heaters keep breaking, it's like a curse. I've had to choose between heating up a shitload of water in pots to just gritting my teeth for a freezing shower more times than I'd like.
>>82426579
My bad.
>>82426579
>>82426449
>It's hard to do it well, I think
Heh. You're kind of unintentionally channeling Sazed from Mistborn, there.
>>82426453
How has Claremont never done any Wonder Woman material? Dude seems like he would waifu the fuck out of her.
Honestly, I'd prefer Claremont over Cho, because at least the former has an "Oh, Grandpa!" appeal going for him.
>>82426453
I like how the highest woman on the bottom panel has pants that are basically past her ass and would fall down if they weren't so tight.
>>82426641
NBD
>>82426661
Oh anon, did you forget what happened when Claremont did an Elseworlds and we got WHOM GODS DESTROY
>>82426655
>aboriginals
The villain is racist and Australian?
>>82426682

>How has Claremont never done any Wonder Woman material? Dude seems like he would waifu the fuck out of her.
yeah, he turned Diana into a Nazi and made Lois Lane Wonder Woman
>>82426670
It's Emma Frost so totally in character to be fair
>>82426705
btw, since hitting upon "give the dog half a dog biscuit" when he gets his shots, there's been far less crying
>>82426670
I'm pretty sure none of them are wearing panties
what the fuck is up with these very specific directions of where everyone is? abusing the NYC grid DeFalco!
>>82426755
so it's like Joe Casey's notes for the original Miss America Chavez!
>>82426682
>Oh anon, did you forget what happened when Claremont did an Elseworlds and we got WHOM GODS DESTROY
>>82426718

... The fuck. When was this? This sounds awful.

Although, thinking about it, it's funny to read Sam Zabel while taking into account all the bitching nowadays about fictional characters and "urgency", and all that jazz.
>>82426755
they did crash in a junglei pulled up the colored page and at least kitty and psylocke have something on. i feel so dirty now

I guess a thong does not count as underwear/??

someone posted a not-uninteresting critique of how Robinson's treating Wanda's Roma background, last night
>>82426809
Of all the things for TDF to get right, it was Gates' perfect, OHKO hook.
>>82426829
Wait, not urgency. Agency. Character Agency.
>>82426807
Crash in a jungle, are mysteriously depowered, get caught and bamboo bondaged by the natives, who are OTHER pilots that fell down here, they do some stuff, freed the island and party hardied.
There are worse ways to spend a girl's night out, all things considered.
>>82426845
Hah, yeah, Dragotta didn't get the note, apparently
Casey drives me a little batty because he can be very smart but he's so often puerile
>>82426787
I don't know Zabel, can you elaborate?
>>82424861
There is so fucking little explained about Harvest in that crossover, which I assume was meant to be like the big reveal for whatever Titans was doing in that first year.
He's so fucking vague and nondescript I can't even hate him for being bad because there isn't enough substance there to hate.
>>82426849
That thread was pretty good >>82396235
These "Meta-Marines" sure do suck at their jobs. You'd think an elite task force specializing in dealing with metahumans would recognize superHEROES when they see them, but no.
>>82426849
>someone posted a not-uninteresting critique of how Robinson's treating Wanda's Roma background, last night
Sigh. What happened now?
>>82426886
Honestly if it wasn't for Manara making it sexy as fuck it's a nice little one off X-Adventure.
and the bamboo bondage was only like half a page
>>82426929
it's critical but I don't think unduly, given that if you're going to ground your character in a real-life ethnicity, especially one that's very maligned, there's more imperative to get it right
>>82426894
>I don't know Zabel, can you elaborate?
Superhero writer hates that he's a hack, tries to do indie work, ends up with writers block, seeks out a magic pen that can literally bring ones work to life, ends up jumping through other people's works.
It's okay.
>>82426989
ah, got it

>Flying the bad guy into the sun
Wildfire does it again!

If only this happened more often.

>Drake, throw this man into the sun
>>82426972
I agree, and I think I'm gonna give >>82426904 a read later. Sounds like this person knows their shit.
While there's no excuse for not doing the research, I can admit from first hand experience that it can be a pain in the ass. Tried to research some Native American stuff once, and it's not as easy as looking up stuff on a wiki. Never was able to find any info on the Navajo language, somehow.
>>82427091
oh shit, zero issue, okay
Why are they still in New York!!
>>82427091
Having a defense against that is what makes the Sun Eater the perfect villain
>>82427111
Oh geez. I can take Gates having real teeth now, but the bottom half of his body used to make sense. Now he's like 30% Sneckie.
>>82427111
Whoops, gimme a minute to extract the zero issue
>>82426894
Is it just me or has this love triangle come from basically out of nowhere?
>>82427077
It's funny. He even laments the fact that he'll never pull an Alan Moore or Frank Miller styled character reinvention.
>>82427061
>MUH PATRIOT ACT
Oh, you can shut right the fuck up, lady. You suck at your job.
>MetaMerican
.... Is it supposed to be a twist that he's black? Is this a reference to that old comic strip with the astronaut? What is this reveal supposed to mean, if anything?
>>82427171
torrent Complete Collection omitted this issue, but gave me the digital trade of THE CULLING
t-thanks
>>82427218

I expected some stupid reveal that he was one of their ancestors.
>>82427218
Will Timbo confess his love for dat little bug? READ AND FIND OUT
>>82425004
>>82425066
Meta-American reminds me a lot of this Wildstorm character, but it might just be the generic elements common to both.
>>82427193
Yes, yes it has.
>>82427239
>>82426579
Oh son of a fuck, Alastor will you stick to one fucking person you stupid, poor man's Proteus.
>>82427269
and it's a supershitty love triangle to boot
>>82425384
Are they characters from Men of War or Blackhawks or one of those short lived New 52 attempts to do a GI Joe style team?
>>82427289
>>82427290
Judge makes me want to read some good Joe comics with some quality Cobra Commander
>>82427313
so how are y'all this fine evening?
>>82427313
And ninjas who are sometimes actually Japanese.
>>82427245
That makes way more sense than him having a crush on Dawny.
>>82427289
>supershitty love triangle
Is there any other kind?
>>82427337
>>82427352
there's garden-variety shitty

I got some ice cream for the week. There was barf in the apartment hallway after Sunday night, I figure I deserved it.
>>82425586
>Those faces get me every time.
The only one who isn't mid-orgasm is Psylocke. It's phenomenal.
>>82427239
>inertron jacketed projectiles
STOP. You already done fucked up. Inertron is supposed to be rare and hard to produce. You can't just get the stuff, so it being used to make bullets is just silly. This is the same kind of shit Superman writers try desperate to avoid, kryptonite being everywhere.
>>82427240
At least that would've been something. Like, he's from Tyroc's island or something. But nah, he's just a black dude. I mean, the sniper chick is black, and not-Maria Hill is probably Hispanic, so it's not like it's implying the present era is whites only or some shit.
>>82427386
Oooh, ice cream...
>>82427434
>>82427434apparently blue bunny has a cupcake flavor... it doesn't taste anything like cupcakes but it's good

I have a weakness for 'birthday cake' flavored vodka

It's so half-assed, it's like DeFalco was writing from a checklist.
>>82427337
>So how are y'all this fine evening?
A little stressed due to lack of ability to keep my laptop cooled. I got a good fan blowing cool air on this thing at all times and it barely makes a difference. I hate summer.
>>82425838
They have me more interested than the Jim Lee cover, but I've seen too much Zombie Apocalypse Scooby Doo fanart to be really jazzed about the concept.
>>82427495
>>82427496
this is such a pointless redo, too
>>82427511
If you don't own a cooling pad, get one. If you haven't given it a run through with compressed air, do so. You're still hosed for gaming, but less so for everything else.
If it makes you feel better, my keyboard started dying today.
>>82427337
The nasturtium in my windowbox is having a nasty aphid problem and I'm debating just taking it out entirely.
>>82426778
Yes yes, the bad guy is the only one who has any idea what the fuck is going on.
That's great, can we GET TO THE FUCKING POINT?
>>82427480
I find the birthday cake remix from Coldstone convincing but I haven't tried any other cake flavored ice creams
>>82427565
insecticidal soap (a pure Castile like Dr. Bronner's works fine for that, you don't have to buy something at a garden store) and/or squishing 'em by hand, which is what I do
>>82425896
Parker is, no lie, one of my favourite comics writers.
Agents of ATLAS should still be running over at Marvel, and there should be talk about the upcoming Gorilla Man Netflix series.

I absolutely love holographic computer terminals, though it always bugs me that they're always like one solid color. Usually orange. Like, if you have advanced holo-tech, just have that shit look like a normal computer screen. You never see someone in sci-fi snap their fingers and have the future equivalent of Firefox come up floating in front of them.
Primitive graphic design is FUTURISTIC, apparently.

I'm glad Jimmy and the gang are sitting out this era of Marvel, tho. Half of them would be dead and they'd make Best Gorilla a stupid mascot character.

What in the fuck does the Patriot Act have to do with Extraterrestrial Superheroes from the Future?
>>82426118
Still don't get why they don't go check in with Clark. Yeah, sure, time screwiness. But they could still try him, and have Tellus do any necessary mindwiping.
Hell, J'onn already knows about them, and so do the Titans (kind of)
>>82427721
>>82427713
Best Dad bara Brin or bust. Actually, I'd take the weird not-ship with Gates if we had to keep hobo Brin, but let's have higher expectations than that.
>>82427561
>If you don't own a cooling pad, get one.
Those do look extremely tempting, yes.
>If it makes you feel better, my keyboard started dying today.
Sorry about that, anon. That sucks. For all our wondrous technology and how much we depend on it, we sometimes forget that our precious devices are every bit as mortal as ourselves.

Aw shit, we got some taste in this thread.
