Good evening owls of /co/,
It's a veritable Punisher Family book now!
>>84240961
Lady Punisher is also freaking ripped
>>84240961
>It's a veritable Punisher Family book now!
Has there ever been a story when Frank's Offspring by way of Sucky Sucky Five Dollah has been a thing?
>>84240986
>>84240986
She has 300% abs, obviously.
>>84240997
>>84241022
I'd like to have 300% abs :(
>Punisher foreplay
>>84241074
>>84240986
I hate it when characters have guns pointed at them and then disarm their aggressors without ever being shot at.
>>84241074
The likelihood of her not getting his Titanium Hardness does seem low.
>>84241080
some folks are still upset about Spencer
https://twitter.com/thalestral/status/749711668742131712
>>84241141
The best thing to do with him is just block him or whatever if you don't want to be seen at all, etc. Spencer's the kind of troll you just ignore.
>>84241170
90s cyberspace, wew
>>84241141
One day the switch will flip and I will understand the rage
Maybe
(Forever mad about the Kirby/Simon used as shield)
>>84240996
>Sucky Sucky Fai Dorra
Who?
>>84241187
Huh, Jake did have a kid, did we miss that, or...
>>84241170
Say what you will about Spencer, at least he doesn't actively look for people to harass.Unlike the Sloth
>>84241196
it's just NOT MUH, nothing special
>>84241141
Well, he is a Twitter Dick, so he isn't exactly trying to smooth things over.
>>84241201
Hes suggesting that Frank may have fucked a raggedy ass Nam whore while over there.
As much as I'm loving this wild ride, what does punisher 2099 have to do with jsa storytimes?
>>84241208
they seem to be asserting that he is? IDK, I finally got fully bored of this one on all sides, from the "my shocking twist is great art" to "I can promote my own work by bloviating about critics and writers"
>>84241187
2099 was Cyberawesome.
It's built in to the Cyberpunk DNA of the setting.
It's so Cyber, the Ghost Rider of the period was a robot a hacker accidentally put his brain inside.
>>84241232
lol
>>84241232
we read whatever we want, basically
the header makes it findable in the catalog
Have I missed "I don't need a jet pack" yet?
>>84241300
yep!
>>84241266
Is that supposed to be Fury 2099?
Loling at the Nam parallels
>>84241307
>>84241203
I checked wiki and it lists the last issue as his first appearance. So I don't think we missed it.
>>84241316
>>84241141
>>84241170
How is he trolling? Isn't he just speaking common sense?
>>84241074
Then you need to 300% gym, OP.
>>84241364
It's the snide use of the word blogger.
>>84241141
The mantle of Slott has been passed on. Maybe now he will finally come off Spider-Man.
>>84241352
>>84241387
I know, I do not have the willpower to 300% gym
>>84241422
uhoh, that smile
>>84241196
It bothers me a little how quickly this stuff is rewritten. There's this attitude that the language used against Spencer doesn't matter, but the language he used can be read into heavily.
>>84241433
My god, it really IS the classic sex dungeon now
>>84241439
It's the ole, what we do = good and what he does = bad.
>>84241422
Pat Mills getting in some general hits at SF romanticization there.
>>84241472
>the classic sex dungeon
You just order it out a brochure, or...
>>84241482
Also, the "But he's lumping us all together!" defense which manages to minimize all the death threats/general assertions about him as a person instead of about the story.
It is, I admit, kind of funnier to me because it's really the leftist circular firing squad at work. I know my people well.
>>84241517
What would an IKEA sex dungeon be like, other than all the components having funny Swedish names?
>>84241517
Nah, you have to furnish your dungeon personally, to give it that "you" touch.
>>84241533
>"But he's lumping us all together!"#not all comic book fans
>>84241533
Did he just try to trick her into vaping herself?
>>84241549
huh, this isn't what I expected.
>>84240961
Frank gives birth to Deathstroke?
>>84241549
Easy to assemble, beloved by lesbians, comes with free meatballs.
>>84241586
I fucking love those meatballs with the lingonberry jam
>>84241482
>>84241533
"Us vs them" was a mistake
>>84241617
stealing! is! ....awesome!
>>84241617
I've never gone out of my way to taste lingonberries. Honestly all the Scandinavian cuisine with the milky/lingonberry meat and fish makes me queasy.
>>84241631
>>84241617
>>84241640
I've only had lingonberry jam on Swedish pancakes, is it supposed to go on meat ???
>>84241549
Well for starters, it'd be called a "Sexfängelse"
>>84241680
I'm already interested.
>>84241680
is that ä at all like the German ä, or what?
>>84241680
Is a Swedish woman in leather going to yell that at me when I go in? Because I am very interested in that
>>84241693I don't know, I just asked a Swedish friend, and now I'm answering her questions
>>84241693
I think I am also 100% willing to go to bat for "you can block whoever the fuck you want on Twitter for whatever reason, you don't owe anyone shit in terms of access, and likewise you don't get to demand shit in terms of access of anyone else."
>>84241721
:D :D :D
>>84241732
>>84241744
>>84241732
I found out that I've been blocked by people Ive never even spoken to.Granted, they were Diaz and Slott, so no big loss.
>>84241732
Yes. IMO Spencer and "I dunno what to call the other side" need to be going on blocking sprees
>>84241778
There should be some kind of twitter block game where you get points for being blocked by bad comics people.
>>84241778
Slott's a total jackass of a termsearcher, so I'm not surprised that he went through some of the recent threads on comics criticism and blocked everyone.
I stand by the principle stated above on blocking, though.
>>84241787
Someone on my TL was all "Stop being jackasses, comics people, I want to be able to read your books" so I had to say "You don't have to read their social media, dude"
Can you see who blocked you????
(I'm so anxious I hardly ever @ even praise at people. So I barely get harassers)
>>84241827
Is it just me or has Jake really leveled up in fucking crazy since the art change?
>>84241839
He was pretty crazy when he was first setting up the sex dungeon desu
>>84241839
>>84241827
See, THAT I don't get. Why does the fact that a creator is personally a fuckwit have to interfere with my enjoyment in the work, as long the work is good? I love Busiek's Avengers, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with his thoughts on OMD or his weird love of the original X-Men, for instance.
>>84241863
he's meaner now, I think
>>84241837
I think you can only tell if you try to follow them
>>84241837
Yes and no. There's no tab that says "THESE PEOPLE BLOCKED YOU" but when you try to look at the profile of someone who blocked you, Twitter will tell you.
>>84241871
yeah like when Tony Harris went on his bizarre rant about cosplays I didn't burn my Starman omnis, I just unfollowed his twitter
>>84241871
I've read the arguments but I can't say that knowing an author is an awful person has impacted my reading of a work that often, except in some cases where a biographical detail makes you go "errrrr"
I think it's the moral argument about not giving money to bigots, with a very loose definition or and wide range of the unacceptable.
>>84241931
I saw someone say they'd meant to read Starman and wouldn't now
I felt sorry for them.
See, this is notably more x-treme and less...playful? maybe?
Today I bought the collection of Marshal Law, which is by the same author and makes Punisher 2099 seem sane
>They say I don't pray for my enemy.
> I do.
> I pray they go to hell.
>>84241931
That's a much better example. The only one I could think of with an opinion that wasn't pedantic as fuck was Frank Miller, and I haven't read any of his work that's come out since I got into comics.
>>84241517
there's contractors that specialize in sex furniture, online catalogs and everything. Decorating the walls, putting up torches, that's all more complicated
>>84241871
>>84241931
It's that weird moralization thing going around. Some people can't separate the material from the creator.
I might think differently about giving my money to someone who actively harmed other people or something, but not just general dumb tweets.
>>84241949
>I saw someone say they'd meant to read Starman and wouldn't now
I have seen that too but I think I managed to convince them to read it anyway since Snejberg takes over the art after a while
>>84241581
This is exactly what I was thinking. How did they not get sued for this?
>>84241949
Damn....
Chris sims did a Comics Alliance article about it like Friday that really made me wanna revisit.
One of my fav things is how That series is such a strong and powerful argument for cape continuity shared universe
>>84241968
Frex, some of the arguments against paying Uncle Orson were that he'd donate money to things like actively campaigning against gay rights
I won't go to Hobby Lobby anymore
>>84240996
The other, Marvel Knights version of Punisher 2099.
>>84241693
And here I thought they were going to call this Sins of the F-
>>84241767
Sigh
>>84241999
>>84241975
Don't tell them about Airboy!!!
>>84241965
Being completely honest, I think having to build your own sex dungeon would take away from the thrill of actually using it.
>>84241949
I understand. I mean I never read Starman because of Tony Harrisexcept it was because of his art
>>84241326
So many of the Punisher 2099 articles on the Marvel Wikia are so hilariously awkwardly written.
>>84241732
This. You would assume that people on Twitter who have been bullied and bothered by people who hate them would have a little more empathy for mob mentality victims.
Basically it amounts to "It's only harassment when other people do it."
>>84241955
Jim Shooter, too.
>>84241871
Knowing what kind of person Byrne is makes re-reading old Byrne work terribly strange and uncomfortable.
But that's just me.
>>84242030
Starman is so good ;__;
>>84242069
Noticing the underage patterns in Byrne, yeah
>>84242069
I mean, same deal with Alice in Wonderland. I think it's best to separate creator and work as much as possible, at least in the enjoyment of the work. Obviously it informs critique.
>>84242069
well that crops up in the work itself so it's understandable
Punisher 2099 reminding me of Contest of Champions reminding me if Al Ewing doesn't get a Night Thrasher book or a New Warriors book, I am going to shit.
>>84242069
It's not a good feeling to see how much of the underage stuff is there
Also kinda feels weird knowing he's the one who suggested to Miller that Robin be a girl in DKRProbably always wanted Robin to be plowed by Batman but was frustrated at how Dick and Jason are boys
Was Shooter above just a hard driving asshole? Cause he ain't the worse (Mort Weisinger was like monsterous brutal iirc and there's Julie Schwartz creepy old man thing)
>>84242069
Byrne_quotes had a recent posting or Byrne defending himself which yeah SUPER gross
>>84242096
Is it confirmed that NA is flipping into USA, or is that just speculation? People are mad no Billy/Teddy shown.
>>84242052
The only Jim Shooter-written stuff Ive read is Secret Wars 1 and 2. Spider-Man wanking aside, those books are shit.
>>84242122
Not to be all quota about it, but there's gonna be POD/Toni.
And speaking of 'don't have to read social media of', I'm officially and unfortunately adding Gerry Conway to that list for me after "There was no racism at marvel and even if there was so what" And getting reminded of his "oh comics are definitely pretty much just for boys" comments some years back.
Love your Spider-Man! Never gonna listen to your opinions again!
Nicola Scott just tweeted about that hat everyone is getting from DC, seems to be a Rebirth gift box with a shirt in it too?
I'm mad jelly tbqh
>>84242141
>POD/Toni
Who?
>>84242122
I need to find some of that Billy/Teddy anger
How much of it is on twitter, cbr, etc?
I wonder their thoughts on Dave Sim and his "steal cerebus whatever. But Throwing some money my way would he nice"
>>84242122
I loved people mad they were erasing gays and just ignoring Toni/Pod
>>84242151
POD is the robot waifu, Toni is the armor waifu.
>>84242141
Heh, I've seen a whole lot of "who is POD?" "She doesn't count because I didn't read the book she was introduced in and she wasn't pushed hard enough!"
>>84242142
someone needed to take him aside and say "Gerry! Bad look! Also, not true!"
>>84242142
I think he was the one who messed up the DC equity payment thing too
>>84242117
Knowing Miller and Byrne were close at one point is funny. Since their stances on continuity are the complete opposite
Byrne is a super fanboy and get's mad when people don't "do right" by a character and Miller doesn't care he just wants to have fun
>>84242147
Tom King and a few others have tweeted their new logo hats too
oh and speaking of Nicola Scott, you think they're finally letting Polly and Phillipus hook up?
https://twitter.com/ruckawriter/status/748982003060477952
>>84242141
"You get two lesbians or two gay dudes, that's all we can afford you."
Also Marvel talking about "all these diverse characters are important going forward" in those Divided promos - hey what happened to their only Native American character they've been featuring lately and was in that first round of the last relaunch promos?
God, Dani Moonstar needs to come back into an X-Line that's not totally fucked.
>>84242026
Only if you build it all at once. Most people get like a massage bed, then months later a spanking bench, then a st Andrews cross, then this, then that then it's 3 years later and there's stuff everywhere.
I mean most people don't, they just go to other people's houses that already did this or a public dungeon, but the ones that did that's usually the process.
>>84242164
>it's 2099 and they're still using 3.5 floppies
>>84242164
To be fair I AM being all quota about it and if you're mad because you're a major Wiccan/Hulkling fan then fair enough. If you're mad because they're erasing queer people, you're ignoring some more of them.
>>84242147
I think, I've seen a bunch of DC people tweeting stuff from it
>>84242142
That made me extra sad because there are stories out there from the few black people at old marvel about how bad it was. (Which is also cultural times and not just Marvel of DC)
>>84242162
I don't know who either of them are though, are they recent creations or what?
>>84242180
Finally
Simone wanted to do it ages ago but apparently some very very high higher ups were like ehhhhhh
>>84242166
The best is that pic of them at a convention and Byrne has a "Will draw any X-Men EXCEPT Kitty" sign and Miller has a "Will draw Kitty Pryde"

Yeah Christopher Priest has a really great piece about when he first started.
A senior staffer would rub his head for good luck
Another had little negro cartoon caricatures on his desk with the big white lips
He did say that he never got any of it from Stan Lee. Stan always treated him like he was any other employee
>>84242228
>>84242193
Yeah, Pod is HickmanVengers and Toni is a Secret Wars tie in I think.
>>84242205
I feel like I read they gave Perez an ok for a lesbian couple but someone got scared and stopped it
>>84242180
I actually maybe like her B&W art more.

oh, the main Ivy crew is tearing their hair out still about no announcements for the particular flavor of Ivy they feel entitled to
>>84242294
shippers are awful and one of the worst parts of any fandom desu
>>84242319
>>84242044
That's because they haven't been. 99 times out of a hundred when people say they've received death threats on social media they're making it up or creating fake accounts to send the threats themselves.
>>84242181
I can't honestly see Ewing just up and ignoring Billy and Teddy, but that's a pretty fair assessment sure.
I think whether he ever does NW >>84242096 is just down to whether he wants to. He seems to get a lot of what he wants on books.
>>84242355
If he keeps up this output, he could end up pretty high up in the Marvel chain, I think.
I really can't wait to see Bendis' "I will not read a story I didn't write" vs. Ewing's continuity obsession in an event he's in charge of.
2nd on where the fuck is Dani Moonstar.
>>84242355
Yeah, like Captain America and Gold Skull are from a random mini to capitalize on Age of Ultron, dude is not one to just discard stuff
>>84242377
Ewing seems like he would be a kind and fair architect of the Marvel Universe. I can't see him writing the just plain mean things like Bendis does.
>>84242377
Ewing is the best writer Marvel has right now, they should lock him ASAP, or they'll a Tom King-like fiasco again in their hands.
>>84242405
Also, Brevoort would never have to go "That's not Agent Brand's personality at all, what the fuck"
>>84242405
>>84242398
>>84242377
Wait until the industry turns him bitter.
>>84242424
I WOULD like to see what Ewing could do with DC properties...
but yeah Marvel needs him more right now
>>84241578
Well, Transverse City probably needs a Punisher too. That place is a hole.
>>84242434
true, true, and he's writing an awful lot
>>84242474
Man I think if you're entry level you don't really get a choice, right? The younger writers who aren't on exclusives have to pick up like 3, 4 books to make a living.
>>84241693
>MY OWN SELF!
>>84242434
Oh, unless he gets like half the bullshit editorial pull Morrison did, it'll absolutely happen. Alonso or Brevoort or somebody will go way beyond "oh you can't use this character" and into some Dan DiDio pulling shit on Greg Rucka nonsense, or worse.
But in the meantime! Great reads!
>>84241617
My favourite thing at Ikea is the Daim cake. That shit is tasty.
>>84242474

>>84242430
Speaking of that famous bit, can someone furnish me with when Iron Fist ended up in the Savage Land?
>>84242490
I had a nice day, although for some reason my head hurts quite a bit right now
how are you OP?
>>84242490
Finally free of some obligations with family, which means my fourth of July is wide open for barbecue and cocktails. Thinking of getting back into the dating scene again, been a year since my last boyfriend, so that's both exciting and nerve wracking.

Working pizza delivery on the night below the 4th. Ive seen three different Fireworks things on the way.
>>84242445
They only have Ewing... there are some others that are decent, but nothing mind blowing. Their writing staff goes from awful to decent at most.
>>84242489
I like that but that the Daim is the stuff that gets stuck in your teeth
>>84242482
Huh, I think of the 3-4 book writers as their mainstays, the guys who are on exclusives. The young and hungry or "not really comics people" (Wendig, Cain) have fewer.
>>84242521
not bad, gotta finish this thing tomorrow but the day is open and I don't do big socializing, I might go buy some wine if the grocery is open
>>84242490
Yeah, pretty good actually. I've been a mess recently but my head feels a lot clearer just now for whatever reason. How about you?
>>84242490
finishing some extra work for a bonus.
Thought it was an easy job, now I'm here at 3:30AM and still only half complete.
that Synchron storyline is probably the worst one in Punisher 2099 by the way. I'd skip it.
>>84242490
I put an air conditioner in my room because it's so hot that the upstairs AC doesn't work that well
It took me like 2 hours to get everything and finish it but I did it
>>84242556
I'm thinking like Leth, Ewing, Bennett, Walker.
>>84242556
Dean's not pretty bright considering his mom's visions.
>>84242490
it has been pouring all weekend in Buenos Aires, pretty good aside from that.
>>84241839
>Is it just me or has Jake really leveled up in fucking crazy since the art change?
Nah, it's about the same level.
I mean, I think he's stopped seperating Jake and The Punisher in his head.
>>84242578
Part of me hurts, seeing Ewing's and Leth's names so close.
>>84241887
His motorcycle doesn't seem as chatty this issue.
>>84242578
Oh, that's true, Leth is writing a lot of things (and trying to get into animation), Bennett has a number of things rolling and a "please give me money" Patreon
>>84242569
except when truly beaten down by a book and when I don't have files, we're completists!
>>84242558
I am glad to hear that. For various reasons, I am also less of a mess than I have been, this long shitty year.
>>84242549
Marvel's really in a slump, creatively, right now. G. Willow Wilson still pumps out the enjoyable slice of life, but that doesn't have much life in it as Kamala gets more popular and will have to get thrown into even more shit like Wolverine.
Bendis is Bendis, the X-Books are total mediocrity, same for Inhumans by and large, Waid's doing just sorta okay work on ANAD, Spencer's quality on Cap Falcon varies wildly and he can't seem to pick a tone he likes...
I didn't like Hickman's writing at all, but he had ambition.
>>84242629
>except when truly beaten down by a book and when I don't have files, we're completists!
regarding that, I'm pretty sure that at least one of the synchronity storyline issues are missing some pages in the scans that exist online.
>>84242664
I soured on Hickman a hell of a lot on his Avengers compared to his F4/FF, but there's at least solid plotting and craftsmanship and Themes there.
>>84242629
Don't Get Into Comics If You Want To Pay The Bills In 2016.
Not that comics ever paid great, but ho shit just living is expensive nowadays. Rent is getting cranked up around my area too. Gentrification going wild out here.
>>84241999
I finished reading Xenocide around the time Card's anti-gay crap was getting really circulated because Ender's Game was coming out, and the one two punch of that book's shitty ending and his real life politics convinced me not to see the movie.
>>84242664
You forgot Duggan, who ranges from good to great imo.
>>84242664
I thought Rebirth was going to be the kick in the balls Marvel needed.
It seems that's not the case sadly
>>84242681
I've seen people doing shocking things like moving to the Midwest where the cost of living is low
>>84242704
You know, that's fair. Duggan also has some real craft skills.
>>84242699
I find the "Uncle Orson is deeply closeted and it's been very painful for him" argument to have some legs to it.
>>84242749
>>84242597
Leth gets an unfair amount of shit here. I'm not reading her books and I wasn't wild about what I did read, but all this 'adulteress' stuff is nonsense.
>>84242732
I think between Civil War 2 and another relaunch they feel they've got this in the bag.
And it's not like you'll ever see a Marvel head admitting they've made a mistake. Shit, that even applied to Quesada back in the day.
>>84242749
If I didn't have family to fall back on, it's exactly what I'd do.
"Still living with your folks" went from insult to the reality of so much of my generation real fast.
>>84242749
I live in the Midwest and a friend is moving from a place that's <5mins from work to somewhere that'll be a ~30min drive because her apartment jacked her rent up and she'll be saving almost 200 bucks a month by moving
>>84242699
I was never really an Ender's Game fan. The only thing I ever read from OSC that I just out-and-out thought was great was this short story called Eumenides in the Fourth Floor Lavatory.
>>84242181
>God, Dani Moonstar needs to come back into an X-Line that's not totally fucked.
Or maybe they could take one of Alpha Flight's native characters and use them in Captain Marvel.
>>84242773
>"Still living with your folks" went from insult to the reality of so much of my generation real fast.
if they hadn't forced me out of the house because they were moving I'd probably still be living with my parents
hell, they moved back last year and I've had several people ask me why I didn't move back in with them to save money

I'm a little surprised Lemire hasn't managed to nab her into something yet, given his strong track record with giving a shit about First Nations rep

I don't know if he's giving it all on X-Men and he just really sucks that bad at team books, or if he's decided to phone it in at this point.
>>84242833
LOL
Also, it feels like, with Marvel, there's so much stuff they're sitting on using for no good reason/it's going to get 5 issues, whereas with DC, it's clear that Rebirth is focus on the A/B-list first, other things will filter in and not be all dumped at once, so I'm more willing to be patient.
>>84242235
>Stan always treated him like he was any other employee
I'm sure that won't stop the Kirby Kult from somehow making it all Stan's fault anyway.
>>84242880
It also helps to not demolish the promo of smaller books by rolling it out in pieces, where "HEY BATMAN oh buy booster gold too i guess" would very easily happen.
>>84242833
>>corner of Lovecraft and Poe
corner of Lovecraft, Poe, and Morgue avenue.
>>84242902
This Rebirth rollout has been done very cannily so far. There's enough time for people to figure out if they like a book or not, so by the time later things drop someone might say "Titans didn't do it for me, so now I'll try BOP with the open spot in my budget [names drawn from a hat here]", instead of everything all at once.
>>84242350
This big stompy security bot has a great customer service program. Kudos to it's programmer.
>>84242927
and the digital rankings have been good, and digital sales of full-price stuff are 1) not speculators 2) not people binging on sale shit that they forget about but buy because it's cheap
>>84242927
Watching DC actually do a decent job with marketing and handling the direct market is fucking bizarre.
Next thing you know, they'll actually drop some hype at comiccon.
>>84242927
I think the slower rollout was a good idea, as opposed to dumping 20 new books in one month
There was what? 10 new things in June? and most of them were the A lister titles so people were more inclined to try them anyway but they still saved big names for July too
>>84242405
The greatest evidence of just how big a mistake Ultimate was is the amount of power it eventually landed in the hands of Bendis.
>>84242971
how about that Justice League Action Wondy with the spiky hair
>>84242927
at least 2.99 looks good against 3.99 or 4.99
I hope more people actually care about price
>>84242971
I was pleased and surprised that they announced Midnighter & Apollo with the NYT, instead of some obscure comics journalism
>>84242988
And also lead to the fucking nonsense mess that was Ultimate End.
>>84242769
It's infuriating. She's just not writing for /co/ and that's ok.
Also I like her Twitter & very respect how she grinded it out and into the industry
>>84242995
it's a super cute look
>>84242490
Slightly burned my hand barbecuing. It's... uncomfortable.
>>84242998
Or fucking USAToday.
>>84242995
Reminds me of this goddess.
>>84242971
I know right?
That Midnighter/Apollo thing was announced with New York Times instead of just USAToday.
And it was just a mini!
I hope they do announce something at comiccon, at least confirmation that the Atom/Shazam/etc books are still in development or something at least. There have been times where they straight up skip announcing something a big con and just do a normal announcement via USAToday, cbr, etc a couple days later. So strange.
>>84242997
Big Bang is just one store, but they've had a lot of positive comment about the lower prices, compared to shit like the $8.99 Deadpool issue

The Valkyries thing is a great movement, though I'm not sure how much it benefits everyone in it. These kind of clubs of consumers, creators and retailers are potentially a really great thing.
>>84243035
They announced stuff at SDCC last year didn't they? I hope they announce stuff this year
>>84243035
I remember that one time where they literally just talked about the shit that was coming out in their books that week, or the week before. Fucking sleepwalking through their own press events. Amanda Conner at a panel where she had nothing to say.
>>84243052
oh Pat, you're really something
>>84243056
heh, have you seen the times on /co/ that at least one Valkyrie has posted about it?
>>84243059
I like how we haven't really heard anything about those OGNs since
(haha no I don't, kill me)
>>84243080
>>84243080
>heh, have you seen the times on /co/ that at least one Valkyrie has posted about it?
Not as far as I'm aware. I did see some screencaps of Leth talking about what she was doing/refusing to do from some Valkyrie group? That's kind of what makes me wonder about how it's directed and who it benefits.

>>84243035
Announced just as Pride month was about to end, people actually gave DC points for that too. Meanwhile at Marvel there isn't a single Queer book on stand.
>>84243157
>>84243166
I can see it being a nightmare to edit, but DC really could use something like an Exiles-type romp book.

Be A Coder Who Knows A Guy With Investment Capital Who Has Way More Money Than Brains seems to be about the standard, nowadays. Wages ain't kept with inflation, especially for housing, food, and medical bills. Computers got cheaper, but compared to those things, who cares?
Tough times out there. Going it solo just really isn't possible the way it used to be.
>>84242773
>"Still living with your folks" went from insult to the reality of so much of my generation real fast.
Does not make it any less depressing, I feel like.
Who cares how many people are doing it, it still feels like I'm still in high school.

>>84243182
The Dr. Manhattan shit could justify it. Do you just want Legion Lost back?
>>84242880
Speak for yourself. I don't care about a single one of the characters who have books out right now. Jaime and Shazam when????
>>84243203
Only a few more weeks until Jaime
>>84243189
Right now I'm living with my folks and they're financially dependent on me. It's an arrangement that's convenient but I hope to Christ it's a short-term one.
>>84243176
They're so fucking weird about that too. Specifically that. They'll brag about all sorts of other minority rep, and dismiss all criticisms on how they're portrayed or supported by Marvel, but you get to queer characters, and... "We've got gay Iceman! But Hercules is straight! I don't wanna label Angela or even mention her when she gets a GLAAD nom even though we pushed her nonstop when we got her!"
Something about higher ups and queer characters they just don't wanna fucking talk about.
>>84242880
Yeah, Marvel's annual HERE'S ALL OUR BOOKS is a great way to make the things that aren't cross-branded with movies/tv shows/shampoo buried by the things that are.
>>84243166
Well probably still get info on Flash Earth One desu. Which I'm excited for because JMS definitely has good handle on Barry.
>>84242301
It's interesting to know more about something, everybody always seems to know 100x more about comics than me in these threads. Then again I don't want to know anything about creators' lives or opinions on things that don't relate to the story.

haven't slept in 2 days, stupid lorazepam addiction and CVS being closed. Been reading Ostrander Suicide Squad to kill the pain, until mediafire started hitting me with malware consistently

Marvel seems to operate under the idea that any book that fails is exclusively the book's or the audience's fault.
Really doesn't help titles like New Warriors and a bunch of others.
>>84243203
Anon, I don't care about much of the A/B-list either, but I know why they're fucking doing it this way. I love niche, but I know it's supported by the stuff that sells large amounts.
>>84243199
I was thinking more "romp around the Multiversity" to show off more of the cool settings and alternate versions of characters that are out there. Sometimes it seems like they only show up to be miserable event can(n)on fodder.
>>84243252
The "won't label a woman who has a full-page makeout with another woman" does reek of "Ike said we can't say queer", doesn't it
The defensiveness about Rhodey, that's all on Bendis et al. themselves.
>>84243293
they did nothing to help that book
>>84243321
uhoh! Jake's in trouble?
One more, or shall we call it a night and I fuck off to do some reading?
>>84243338
I'm fine either way OP.
>>84243252
Bendis made a snarky reply on tumbler the other day when someone asked why no books with gay leads. His reply was I think what if there's already a book. That's such a stupid thing to say. Oh hey we have a book with gay lead but we don't want to promote it that way. If anyone at DC said that, there would be an article about it on outhousers, Bleeding cunt and few other sites bashing DC.
>>84242995
>how about that Justice League Action Wondy with the spiky hair
She's the New Hotness.
Looks like she has a fun personality, which is a nice change from how dour Wonder Woman gets written sometimes because Team Mom.

I'm done for tonight anyway.
>>84243052
>got aloe?
Don't think so.
Put on some polysporin to hopefully prevent blisters.
>>84243299
To be honest sort of bitter at DC about Rebirth. Logically they aren't doing anything wrong but I kind of loved DCYou. Especially We are Robin, and losing it hurt.
Duke's still around but who knows if the others will survive, and Duke without his friends in Batman is unappealing.
That JL Action Wondy design is FIRE. I love it.
Somehow the closest thing to Multiversity book is The Colonel tie ins, which Khouri said he considers 100% canon. #DCKOMICS
