Good evening owls of /co/,
look at that Roy, damn

I miss the hat with the feather in it. The baseball cap just doesn't look as dashing.

>>83259323
Hello Storyteller.
About this whole Captain America thing. I've seen it suggested that, since Steve is on a plane, he's using proper terminology, and "Hail Hydra" is just him telling that goon to call up Hydra.
I think I might die of laughter if everyone lost their shit, and organized literal book burnings over a bad pun.
>>83259380
I miss that entire outfit and the rest of them because they didn't look like armor.
>>83259323
this is not your personal porno
>>83259519
>>83259444
so get this, there's some dude who got SO MAD at Busiek being flippant about it, that he says N*ro of GG fame is going to pay for him to go a con and confront him on camera
this shit is WACK
also, the "pirating Marvel comics as civil disobedience" line didn't get much amusement from Brevoort
>>83259548
>confront him on camera
Confront him about what?
>>83259548
JLD, hoot hoot!

I'll allow this.

lol. I hope that doesn't happen, Busiek doesn't need that shit.
Plz be a hilarious pun about Hailing on the comm Cap
>>83259548
Did you see the guy mad as hell about the cookie joke Busiek made?
Am I a bad person if I really want Hydra Cap to to fail and see Brevoort and his shitty "enrage the fanbase for maximum profit" policy get fucked in the ass?
Also hi JSAnon.
>>83259548
>so get this, there's some dude who got SO MAD at Busiek being flippant about it, that he says N*ro of GG fame is going to pay for him to go a con and confront him on camera
Oh yeah, real tough, confronting that old man over a comic book. He and his poor health will pay for not giving a fuck, I tell you what!
Also, I don't know who the hell this N*ro tool is, but he sounds like a bit of a chump.
>>83259775
that guy too!

>>83259790
I'm willing to wait and see if it sucks, but I'm not unamused by this having blown up so spectacularly, either
>>83259793
Broadcasting "I'm coming to this con to confront a guest on camera" is a great way to get yourself pre-emptively banned from a con for declared intent to harass, I suspect.
>>83259807
Christ that delusion. Atrocity collection makes me lol hard, Busiek like "I have no idea what the Culling even is"
Bringing up Kirby to Busiek made me mad af.
>>83259807
>Bringing my astrocity collection to return to Kurt. Every single issue.
What, does he expect Busiek to refund him too? Fucking idiot.
>>83259790
No because making fans angry is an annoying policy to have
I want him to feel the failure
>>83259875
>>83259877
Astro City anon, as in the Busiek comic.
>>83259380
Fully behind whatever kind of movement exists to transition actual Willa Holland to being Speedy in all incarnations. IDGAF a fuck about Arrow or Speedy in Arrow, but she's great.
>>83259807
Politest thing to do IMO: find out what $ Busiek charges for 2,000 words and ask him to write his opinion on it.
>>83259913
>>83259875
I just hate Marvel's practices. In the end it's going to be big ol nothing but the way they lie to create controversy with click bait tier shit and their Comics actually sell makes me so mad.
I'm also salty this literally took away big portion of Rebirth coverage.
>>83259925
Much less hilarious!!! My b
>>83259966
I think the just plain wrong assertions of what Marvel canon is has his inner continuity nerd riled up, and we know how fierce that thing is
>>83259790
I have to give him props for finding a way to make both tumblr and /pol/ really angry in a way that I don't care too much for myself.
Oh shit, Gerry Conway is getting on the slap-down train now too.
This shit is getting out of hand.
>>83260008
>>83260025
I'm fascinated by how across the lines the rage is, yeah
>>83260025
Everyone hates Nazis.
>>83260078
Cut off one head, two more shall take its place.
>>83260113
/pol/ doesn't.
>>83259984
Yeah, my reaction to Marvel getting way more attention than DC this week has been "this is why fans can't have nice things."
>>83259875
If I was running a con, I would absolutely call that guy and tell him to just stay home, lest he have a chat with these nice police officers.
Although, maybe Nero's just a Busiek fan who's running the ruse cruise. Cause all this did was make me want to read Astrocity. I enjoyed Power Company, so why not.
>>83260146
So many people mad at a bad comic book, so few people talking about Kyle's religious experiences in Omega Men w/ consideration to William James.
>>83260078
Conway's been very steady with the "no, THIS is when they were created and why" information
>>83259984
What a good example of how negative attention is better than positive
>>83260146
In the war between hope and despair, despair won all the attention.
There's no way anything outsold Rebirth though, it was an Important Event prestige format-sized book sold at 2.99
>>83260191
>so few people talking about Kyle's religious experiences in Omega Men
What I've generally seen people say about it is "Kyle wasn't religious before, this is just stereotyping"I'm not familiar with William James at all so I don't have much to contribute
>>83260199
I've been enjoying how people have been losing patience with movieverse they're nazis stuff
>>83260191
the Comicosity review talks about that!
>>83260191
I need to get around to finishing Omega Men, I dropped off of it around issue #4.It's good storytelling, I just disagree with the general worldview and opinions on religious belief that were being set up in the story and as a result found it hard to get invested in what was going on
I should finish it and judge the book as a whole at this point though.
>>83260199
But I wasn't born yet and I don't even read wikis yet I know more than all of you, comic book creators!!!!!
>>83260231
I dunno man Marvel has got that relaunch variant #1 movie thing down pat.
They can get like 250k for a #1 easily now
Though I am hoping the second printing coming out so fast is because more people are actually buying it instead of retailers just got the normal event amount
>>83260260
if you have any more good links to that, share with the class
>>83260283
James' views on religion are very oriented to the experience and very not about the doctrine
>>83259969
>We're going to touch them illegally
>>83260260
Superhero movies are the worst thing that could happen to this shitty genre.
>>83260338
I think she just got cockblocked by a helicopter
>>83260078
Link?
>>83260338
>James' views on religion are very oriented to the experience and very not about the doctrine
From my experience you kind of need a consistent framework of doctrine in order to make sense of the experience. But I'm a cradle Catholic so ritual and doctrine are more my experience in the first place.
>>83260395
It's explained why he's so attached to the helicopter pretty soon.
>>83260231
>>83260337
I know digital is its own thing but this is their top 10 for the week's sales
DC also gave away something like 3000+ digital copies of Rebirth so that may have something to do with it
>>83260419
https://twitter.com/gerryconway/status/736681335218003969
>>83260385
The only thing they're good for is they make DC and Marvel reprint stuff
>>83260275
The popular line seems to be that Kyle has lost faith in God, but I don't know that you can argue that much. He can't finish his oath or his prayer. He leaves behind the omega and his rosary. He's lost faith in these symbols and these organisations, but has he lost faith entirely?
I think what happens to Kyle in Omega Men has hallmarks of James' idea of a transformative religious experience. And I feel while religious organizations might not escape the pus and grime of the story of the whole, religion might a little bit with Broot and Scrapps and their experiences being 'broot'.
IDK. It's one part of the whole thing I'd be really into seeing healthy discussion about.
>>83260490
I'm inordinately happy that Ms. Marvel is in the top ten. It's nice to have a recently-established, well-written character crack into popularity like that.
>>83260453
Right, and James was writing from a very American experiential tradition, hence why it's the Varieties of Religious Experience
>>83260395
Damn, June just got the most savage case of blue balls. I think even Enchantress felt that.
>>83260337
Rebirth issue sold probably as much as DK3 #1, maybe more. No way Nazi cap outsold it.
>>83260453
James' stuff appeals to me a lot. I've never felt religious in church, and I've never felt that my actual experiences of feeling religious (maybe just positively religious) were explicable.
>>83260527
And of course the Changralyn clergy are looking most intently for Scrapps, who violated all the comforting ideas of their exploitative religious orthodoxy
plz let her show up in L.E.G.I.O.N. or something
Why do all these Boom Studios lesbians look like teenage boys
>>83260564
I wonder how many issues were sold on the back of that burning copy alone?
>>83260627
Have you met many young lesbians lately?
>>83260613
is this the most badass helicopter ever?
does she need to meet the Haunted Tank?
>>83260613
I hope she dies. Fucking cunt.
>>83260587
Speaking as a Catholic, the most powerful religious experiences I've had have always been either in confession or during eucharistic adoration, both more personal, intimate rituals rather than the familiar mass. The most common association of organized faith are common and widely recognizable for a reason, but because of that they often lose their actual meaning and importance to individuals within the congregation. It's a problem with any structured, organized religion.
>>83260666
This helicopter does some even more ridiculous stuff later IIRC. But sure, that's a good OTP.
>>83260666
>>83260564
DK3 #1 got like 100k off of that one 1:5000 variant alone
Does Rebirth even have many variants because I remember one or two of them
>I'm still on yesterday's thread
alas
>>83260737
so how are you owls?
>>83260649
Yes, they actually look like women. I mean, sure some have more boyish haircuts and wear manlier clothes but they still look female.

What's Nightshade's origin story? How young was she when she first became a superhero?
>>83260910
Congrats anon
>>83260768
Pretty good, a couple beers deep. My sister had her kid today so I'm driving over in the morning
I bought a lot of Batman comics drawn by Norm Breyfogle and Jim Aparo today because back issues were on sale at my LCS
>>83260768
Really listening to this song over and over and I don't even know the lyrics. I've heard it 20 times today. It's driving me nuts I can't stop listening to it.
>>83260938
There is an SO for Nightshade, but let's watch it unfold in the comic, we're going to get to her soon
>>83260910
Yeah, if you wanna do the teach in Japan thing you need to be REALLY careful researching the kinds of places that want to hire you, you can get fucked over right good that way.
>>83260997
mmmm, beer
>>83260768
>So how are you owls?
Fine. Working out thee mechanics of fictional technology is... challenging, to put it lightly. Especially when one is not especially well educated in physics.
>>83260823
Don't talk shit to old people. They don't fuckin' care. Poor Busiek though, so many creators are having to put up with these angry nerds because of shit they had nothing to do with. Disgraceful.
>>83260910
I'm actually planning to go there to study, if I get a job it's probably going to be as a clerk in a hentai store or something.
>>83260613
I would love for a new L.E.G.I.O.N. to spin out of this, but how likely is that?
Also with what you said here >>83260338
>James' views on religion are very oriented to the experience and very not about the doctrine
I think you can sort of view Omega Men as a a doctrinal failure on all levels. Not even just religiously, but definitely including that (both for Kyle's faith and the local faiths). It's got that when the math hits the meat side to it.
>>83260872
>Rebirth had two variants, I'm surprised they didn't milk it with more
They had return policy on all copies that didn't sell. Can't really milk it with 1:5000 variants.
>>83261029
>>83260938
>What's Nightshade's origin story?
She's a Steve Ditko creation from the old Captain Atom comic.
>>83261013
>>83261077
I'm just wondering what age to read her as and what her life's been like up to this point.
>>83261095
> I'm just wondering what age to read her as
Early 20's would be my guess
>>83261044
I live in hope and that Tom King said if we bought a shitload of Batman we'd get a follow-up on that ending scene
>>83261095
yeah, the problem is that her SO issue is spoily for upcoming comics here
>>83261077
Really want more Charlton characters to show up. Now that Cucka is back at DC hopefully they do same thing with Vic that they're trying to do with Atoms and Beetles.
>>83261044
>I would love for a new L.E.G.I.O.N. to spin out of this, but how likely is that?
Depends if DC decides to get its head out of its ass when it comes to their cosmic stuff. At the very least, Johns has telegraphed a new LOSH book sometime in the next year or so. GoTG 2 is coming up, so hopefully DC will actually try to capitalize on the space money this time around.
>>83261159
I think no one gets hit as much as Boomerbutt in this comic
He's such an awful human being and he might be the best character in this book.
>>83260679
Sure, I'm not trying to dispute anyone else's approach to their faith. I grew up in a very low intensity Catholic environment that was much more concerned with lip service than meaning, for sure.
>>83261206
I don't know if I want any. Also they should've left Kyle the fuck alone in Rebirth. It's not like they're going to address his PTSD issues or follow up on events of Omega Men.
>>83261217
Yeah people find their way to religious experiences in different ways.
Man I really should finish up Omega Men so I can talk more in-depth about this. I'll pick up the rest of the issues next time I'm at my LCS.
>>83261206
Comic relief done well; he's not harmless. When Boomer acts up, there's consequences of some sort.
>>83261216
Give me a Life of Nightshade AU mini that tracks her across 6 decades, thanks.
>>83261237
>>83261265
>Also they should've left Kyle the fuck alone in Rebirth. It's not like they're going to address his PTSD issues or follow up on events of Omega Men.
I don't know if I want to see Venditti try to touch that or not
>>83261293
Black Orchid has the most baller 'gives no fucks' attitude of anyone
>>83261265
Kind of another thing worth talking about: to what extent are his issues unresolved/does he have PTSD at the end of the series? I think there's a sense of powerless acceptance in that final conversation.
It's certainly put him in a potentially more interesting direction than he's had in years.
>>83261281

>>83261441
Apparently Gaiman was basically a reboot of the character?
>>83260768
Celebrated memorial day early. Pools and bouncy castles abound.
>>83261447
You don't, but Omega Men hasn't played it safe on most of its beats. To resolve that part you have to settle on how Kyle has actually processed what's happened to him, and I think from the text alone there's a few ways to read that.
>>83261358
>does he have PTSD at the end of the series
I don't see how he couldn't
it was kinda implied in GLC during the Johns era that he had mild PTSD, what he went through in Omega Men is easily the worst shit that's ever happened to him
>>83261447
>I don't. They should leave him be until King does something interesting but Lanternfags would go full retard.
that would probably be for the best, but I doubt DC would leave him benched that long anyway
whatever Venditti does with him will probably be bad
>>83261465
Yeah, but it starts with classic Black Orchid who gets shot and dies, and is then Swamp Thing'd into a new BO.
>>83261418
Black Panther #1 was like that too.
Like 25 pages for 4.99 + interviews and stuff in the back.
It's really fucking gross and makes me paranoid they're gonna try and push 4.99 as the standard, and worse,people are going to keep buying despite that
After all they stopped doing 2.99 like a year ago or something
>>83261528
>they're gonna try and push 4.99 as the standard

>>83261585
Enchantress is fucking evil and her primary motivation is often spite.
>>83261585
she doesn't want to do anything she's told to do, she wants to kill everyone and get free
>>83261430
Eve, you have a strange idea of Hell.
>>83261465
>>83261562
Enchantress, pls. You'd think she'd revel in the opportunity to wreck shit, but apparently it stops being fun if someone asks her to do it.
>>83261587
I don't even know what purity means to you.
>purity is characters that could beat me up
>>83261616
>>83261633
>Eve, you have a strange idea of Hell.
I think that line is about how much suffering is contained in the room. You know, the impact that the criminal syndicate selling these drugs will ultimately have?
I was hoping to put off rereading Omega Men for a little bit and here y'all got me wanting to go again.
Tfw have 6 floppies and torn between buying the rest or waiting for the collection

Might as well wait now, the collection will supposedly have extra stuff in it and a sale of the trade will be more important than any issue sales at this point.

I shouldn't find this so funny.

Nuclear fallout. Godspeed Anon.
>>83261961

>>83261975
Suicide Squad always favored a more low key, borderline noir-esque aesthetic
>>83261940
It's a lot better than I was expecting. I'm weirdly optimistic for that book. Negative trinity probably isn't going to be a lot of fun, but it really could be!

It was a different time don't worry. I was listening to an interview with Claremont and he talked about being hired by Stan. You're responsibilities as a writer were to work with your artist to turn in work on time and for it to sell, if it was good even better. As Publisher he had more important shit to deal with that tweaking your work, like the people who weren't getting work in on time and titles that weren't selling
>>83261940
I'm not shitting you about who's on art here, really.
>>83261940
Does Snowflame ever turn up here?
>>83260395
Jesus thats his daughter anon.
>>83261797
puta means exactly whore, but the gramma is bad, it should be "muere, puta" which means "die, whore". muertes is the plural of death. he said "deaths, whore"
>>83261940
Artemis looks so sad on the concept art.
>>83262003
A friend of mine said that when she read the Convergence tie-ins in trade, she missed the credits on Blue Beetle #1 and went "THIS CAN'T BE REAL" at the end of #2.
>>83262067
No shit, she knows who's writing it!
>>83261940
>So how about that new Artemis design?
Haven't seen it. Does she look appropriately edgy?
>>83262040
sadly, no Snowflame
also no Angel Love
>>83262095
it's entirely too tasteful
>>83261992
Yeah he did some work for Who's Who and a Hawk and Dove mini before getting his big break at Marvel
>>83262040
Snowflame just has that one appearance in New Guardians. He died (as he lived).
The funny thing about Conway was him talking about who wrote books. If Stan wanted he got it, if Stan didn't Roy Thomas did, if neither did it fell to Conway
>>83262024
Love the Not The Spirit there
>>83262095
No, but she looks very sad.
>>83262141
It shocked me that him doing Hawk and Dove never seemed to come up at the start of nu52
>>83262122
an incubus is usually a male sex demon, at least in common urban fantasy parlance :D
>>83262149
He has his own cult following

A few weeks ago I mentioned it was becoming difficult to work on the comic as well as my paying work.
It is for this reason, I regret to say that this is the last update for Snowflame: the Fan-Comic Series.
However–
As I love working on this story, and have planned a lot of unique ideas that I really want to use, I have triedto think of an alternative that would allow me to complete this storyand I think I have succeeded.
I have been doing some planning on changing from the webcomic to a short series of novels. Instead of using copyrighted characters owned by dc I would create original characters, but the story would be very much in the same vein with another cocaine-worshipping super villain.
as I have a lot of experience with writing as well as e-book and print on demand publishing I’m confident I can have the first book ready by fall 2014.
This is definitely a lot to take in, and probably not what you were expecting on the webcomic’s two year anniversary. Even the previous mention of my concern really wasn’t much of a forshadowing, and I apologize for the suddeness. I’m also sorry you won’t be able to continue following the story in the way you are used to.
I hope this new direction will be of interest to you. If so, please consider signing up for the mailing list below. I won’t spam you and emails will only pertain to the project. In turn, subscribers will not only be able to follow the progress of the book, but have some say in character designs, the final covers, and there will be some other bonuses as well. Also, feel free to ask questions either in comments or in email and I’ll do my best to answer them.

His New 52 work was quickly forgotten and with good reason. I actually like some of his 90's stuff, but man he REALLY went to shit at, or a little before, Heroes Reborn.

lol
also
>Why do they give new characters for him to introduce? Really, after what he did with the Young Justice cast he should be forbidden to do origin stories.
This is a good fucking question
Lobdell literally ruined an entire generation of heroes almost singlehandedly so wtf
>>83262393
Editors sign off on everything.
>>83262306
I actually like that a lot. Particularly the boots.

it came and went already, although I think it's supposed to storm more later
>>83262306
>>83262326
Aw, poor Artemis. She really does look so sad.
The design is okay overall. Though not nearly 90s enough. Artemis is supposed to be the edgy Amazons, dang it. The skull motif is missed.
>>83262451
the axe is pretty badass
>>83262514
I'd be ok if they changed the star on her headpiece to a skull
>>83262433
I like it but it's too tasteful
put some spikes and some skulls on there
making it red & black instead of white & green isn't quite edgy enough
>>83262521
Yeah I like that too, we had better see her fucking dual-wielding it with the sword at some point.
>>83262514
The big fuck-off axe helps for edge. The helmet silhouette on the chest is weird and I'm sure an artist is going to butcher that into a titty thing in short order but it works on the design.
>>83262521

>>83260490
I think Rebirth already sold out with Diamond. If there's anything comic fans can't resist it's an event book.
>>83262573
time for some King Faraday, hoot hoot
>>83262576
Helps that it's only 2.99 for 80 pages. That's real attractive for people who wouldn't normally bother.
>>83262576
it's getting the square bound printing in a couple weeks, although I assume they will do another regular floppy reprint too
>>83262616
is recommended Artimis reading Perez? Or am I gonna have to hunt and crawl thru 90s
>>83262652
ahahaha, oh no, she's Messner-Loebs and you have to deal with the one-two of Deodato and Benes
she's worth it
>>83262634
that does help plus it's meant to lure in people who'd been put off by DC over the past few years and there's a good few number of those, plus I've also seen a lot of people saying they decided to jump into DC with it
http://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/dc-comics/dc-universe-rebirth/1
also it has a lot of reviews and a high score so good word of mouth will probably help
>>83262645
>I beat off a lot of thugs and spies and the odd super-villain
>>83262668
>>83262616
That's:
Ernest Hollings (D-SC)
Warren Rudman (R-NH)
Ted Kennedy (D-MA)
for those not up on 1980s Senators (although they were all politically active into the 2000s)
>>83262677
>plus I've also seen a lot of people saying they decided to jump into DC with it
You have to start somewhere, hell I first started following monthly ongoing series with the New 52.
It's nice to see such a big move seemingly succeed on DC's part though. I wonder how Johns feels knowing that it's likely his last comic for a long time though.
>>83262714
>I wonder how Johns feels knowing that it's likely his last comic for a long time though.
I don't expect him to be gone more than a year or two but it is a little sad, I will miss his comforting monthly presence ;_;
>>83262433
>>83262486
>>I miss Diana
Here's what I wanna know. Is Artemis going to be a "new" character, or are she and Aleka the same person? Because I honestly wouldn't mind a pseudo rehash of REQUIEM as her backstory.
I mean, as long as she ultimately plays the role of Diana's dark rival, then we might be okay.
>>83262668
>have to deal with the one-two of Deodato and Benes
Maybe Anon is a leg man.
>>83262745
I'm betting Artemis and Aleka are separate. they used Artemis's 90s design on her new costume comparison instead of Aleka
>>83262703
>>83262703
Warren Rudman--they really don't make Republicans like that anymore, damn
>>83262677
>plus I've also seen a lot of people saying they decided to jump into DC with it

I really want Wonder Woman and Flash to get out of the 30k. One has a movie coming out and the other has a hit tv show and they're both a lister. pls be above 40k
>>83260494
>They weren't allowed to mention Nazis because it was WWII!
How can one person be so utterly fucking wrong?
>>83262788
HI NATE
>>83262668
I don't have an appropriate sobbing image
>>83262668
But Messner-Loebs Flash is good? (so far, I've been following the storytimes) Is his Wondy that terrible?
>>83262826
I really hope WW does well, it deserves it and I've seen a lot of hype for it
>>83262863
No, it's great, you have a real range of stories in it (in some ways, more than Perez--he was definitely going for the expansion rather than the retread) and the oft-maligned Taco Whiz cover is a great story
It's just that the last third or so is Deodato, and that's really YMMV
>>83262919
Rucka has me very interested in the twin stuff when like anyone else would make me walk
>>83262785
I hope not. Making them separate characters is pointless and sloppy, since they're both Diana's edgy redheaded rival. They even have the same personality. Might as well clean things up a bit.
>>83262863
What? No. WML's Wondy run is great and quite underrated I find. No, it's the arts that sucks.
>>83262927
this is good analysis and character depth
>>83262919
If anything there's a chance that the issue the month the movie comes out will probably do well. Like top 10 well
>>83262954
>>83262863
I enjoyed his Wondie, but feelings of others are mixed.
