Good evening owls of /co/,

What's up next for Jake?

oh yeah, this asshole.

Hi OP!

>>84285141
Two new books, Champions and Great Lake Avengers
>The series, revealed at Entertainment Weekly, comes from writer Mark Waid and artist Humberto Ramos; Alex Ross turned in a variant cover for the series. The new team book will star former "All-New, All-Different Avengers" characters Nova, Ms. Marvel and Spider-Man. Joining them is Amadeus Cho, the star of "Totally Awesome Hulk," as well as the teen Cyclops (previously seen in "All-New X-Men") and Vision's daughter Viv, who comes to the team from the synthezoid's series.

And GLA >>84279352

I could be hype for the first but Waid doesn't do it for me anymore

Is Champions just gonna be Marvel Waid Legion do you think? I can't understand why he is the guy writing this book. I wish Robbie Reyes was in this book.

I've literally seen someone get annoyed that the Champions is a group of teen activists that doesn't have any queer characters.
They even specifically said "in 2016".
They couldn't be more of a sterotype if they tried.

Hello Storyteller.

Cyber dreads have never, and will never make any goddamned sense.
>>
>>84285226
It feels like a weird teen series. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I think because these are legacy characters separate from each other? It's not like Runaways or the Initiative stuff or even Young Avengers really. It could be good, I guess!
>>
>>84285194
"Champions" would be a book that'd absolutely fucking flop normally, so attaching some actually known somewhat popular characters is a good move.

Kamala's on her way to being Wolverine status pretty fast, though, which is not going to be good for her overall quality.

I saw people explicitly comparing it to YA and being pissed on the queer front, but it's not YA at all--that was clearly "every team member matches some classic Avenger or close enough" at least ala Heinberg

True, and with no adult supervision this time! Eat it, grandpa!

Kinda curious as to how Viv will be in something that is very much not Tom King's Vision.
>>
>>84285330
I think part of the pissiness might come from being kind of pent up about the way Marvel's handled queer characters lately, which is absolutely fair game.

If Billy and Teddy don't get thrown to another team book, it's, what, POD, America, and who else now? And of course none of 'em get a solo book.

Anyone else think it's weird that with all the X-Men stuff, and Alpha Flight in Captain Marvel and part of CWII, Jean-Paul Beaubier has been sight unseen for months? Especially after they cranked up the publicity for that marriage issue a few years back.

Young Jean needs the time and character development away from the X-Men way more than Young Cyke, but what're you gonna do.

Poor girl trapped in some bullshit plots forever.

>>84285446
This is true, but after "HEY! HEY! GAY MARRIAGE! HEY!" you think they'd try to push him a little.

I wonder how much of Marvel's stuff with queer characters is them being dense fucks and how much is the guy at the top being a Trump Dude.

My headcanon is the Death Joggers originate from a pedestrian faction in the Great Transatlantic Traffic Wars.

>>
>>84285499
I feel bad for Jean in general because she just keeps getting hit with the shitty writers stick. As a sympathetic character or as an antagonistic one, either way, she's not written very well or very interesting.

For example, the way she treated everyone else in Bendis' run could've been really interesting in the abuse of her powers, and dealing with the fact that she could be reacting to the way every boy on the team (even with Bobby as gay, you've got plenty of material of him in the closet) going after her and putting her on a pedestal, there's a lot to work with...

But she was just fucking boring, because no matter what choices she made, she was treated as being in the right. Even when they contradicted.

I'm not really a fan, but my point is just there are young people around. I mean, the age thing is a dumb criticism and it doesn't hold up because if you're going to pigeonhole that shit how many middle-aged capes are there? But I also don't blame people for being turned off a cool teen book written by a 54 year old guy.

I think the thing I would pose is not "you're not a teenager" but "do you know any teenagers". Like, personally. Not that you've read random articles about what they're doing on the internet, but do you KNOW any teenagers RIGHT NOW.

Because as I've seen in a lot of material, it's very easy for writers to be very behind the curve, and it's made worse when they're *trying* to be hip and current instead of just writing a book with teen characters, so to speak.

If Waid sticks to "general feelings as a teenager", he's probably fine. If Waid tries to write "teenager in 2016", he's in for trouble.

Also someone at Marvel needs to grab him by the shoulder and tell him not to write any social commentary issues, especially about race.

He absolutely means well, but after that shit with Strange Fruit and that fucking "he was no angel" thing in the SHIELD book, somebody needs to give him a firm talking to, from the inside.

Why would any of those people get a solo? Whether they're gay or not doesn't grant them any special rights to a book. If a character can't carry a solo, they won't get one, regardless of sexuality (RIP Midnighter).

Why?

>>84285828
No, see, the Marvel model is to give whoever a solo, then not push them at all, then blame them and audiences who didn't even know about the book for their book failing.

Why shouldn't Ms. America have a book that's destined to be underpromoted by Marvel and cancelled in 8 issues or less? Morbius got a fucking book. Red Wolf got a book.

Wanting a gay character isn't a bad thing when they're literally promoting the book as "so proud it has one white character." When writers and editors are as stereotypical as they get, I don't expect audience to hold back and Teen Bobby would've made much more sense too.

To be fair, Miura is a god. Speed lines are much more common in manga though.

I don't know how well read you are in manga but if you like Berserk and are looking for recs try Vinland Saga, Shut Hell, Blade of the Immortal, Shigurui, Takemitsuzamurai in my opinion. Less monsters, more historical, sometimes more stylized but all good and have at least overlapping areas of appeal.

Doom Patrol since we're getting Doom Patrol book? Original run? Pre Morrison/Morrison?
Also I want to read Crisis of Multiple Earths so that could be cool.

>>84286835
The only time horror has worked in Swamp Thing is when Moore made it a "horror of realization" thing, e.g. the children's nightmares at Abigail's work.

I think a fair chunk of that was being part of the Midnight Sons subline before it petered out, and being a major supporting character on the Spider-Man cartoon.
