1) I'm running this off the digital trades
2) If you're new, HI, we are a regular storytiming group who reads 2-4 issues a night, same bat-time, same bat-channel
3) we're chatty, join in.
Ha, time for fun.

>It still amazes me that Keith and I have been working together this long—almost thirty years, on and off. Well, maybe it’s not so surprising: Despite the fact that Keith desperately wants people to think that he’s surly and cynical, Earth’s Biggest Malcontent, he’s actually an incredibly nice guy.
Anything I should know going in, or is basic knowledge of the characters enough?

>"Unworthy Thor," by Jason Aaron and Olivier Coipel, arrives in October.
>"I wanted something big to come out of 'Thors' that would affect our characters going forward, so that turned out to be a hammer. This is just a great, great beast of metal," Aaron told io9 of the Ultimate Thor's weapon's appearance in "Unworthy Thor." "So to have that somehow fly through the events of Secret Wars and land in the normal Marvel Universe, which we saw at the end of 'Thors,' at Old Asgard— of course it went back to Old Asgard, but the old Asgard, nobody lives there. So, it’s just been sitting there, all this time."

Yes, that was delightful. The bit about G'Nort, especially.

It's definitely a comedy book, so take some of the characterizations with a grain of salt.

>Infamous Iron Man #1, Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme #1, and Solo #1 are the new names for three posters originally solicited by Marvel to retailers with their September products. They were previously solicited simply as a group of four generic (identified as A through D) "Marvel NOW!" posters, the fourth of which was also revealed today as the Champions #1 by [Humberto] Ramos poster.
>The Infamous Iron Man #1 poster is by International Iron Man artist Alex Maleev
>The Doctor Strange and Sorcerers Supreme #1 poster is by Batgirl artist Rafael Albuquerque.
>The Solo #1 poster is by All-New X-Men artist Paco Diaz.
>Purely on a speculative basis, if Infamous Iron Man is indeed a series joining the relauching Invincible Iron Man title, given the image above revealed by the publisher last week, Victor Von Doom seems as good a candidate as any to star.

Hello Storyteller.

Dinah looks more ready for a brawl than Guy.
Also, did anyone else notice that Justice League Rebirth was pretty much straight ripping off Mass Effect, Doctor Who, and the Authority? Not sure if that's balls or just plain hack writing.

Marvel decided that, since SJWs are against fanservice, they won't do ANY.
They're missing out. Not even cheesecake, Thor would've been perfect for some Beefcake, and they're fucking it up.
>>84337196
>I didn't bother to read JL: R, how was it?
Meh. At first the opening with Lois talking Clark into reaching out to the League seems nice until you realize that, well, this is Clark fucking Kent, and he shouldn't have to be talked into saving people. The story is otherwise unremarkable aside from the aforementioned "references".
The art was hilariously bad though. Hitch cannot draw anyone, especially Diana, without a serious derp face.
>>84337188
Seriously. They're a spaces of enormous techno-organic starfaring cephalopods who want to assimilate humanity, actually fucking called Reapers. Again, not sure if balls are hack. Could be both.

Okay, 1) that is one of the most retarded sentences I've ever read, and it sounds depressingly like something someone would actually say, and 2) Samson.
>>84337538
Yeah his GL action comics stuff was not great overall (and neither was PAD's for that matter)
>>84337551
Dauterman NEEDS to move to Beefcake Thor
>>84337551
Not.:D
>>84337572
And none selling enough to support their own existance. What the fuck is Marvel doing
>>84337551
Only Tora knows for sure.
You know what he was before becoming a Superhero, a Social Worker.
Like, can you even IMAGINE a social worker making comments like that "take me home" bit?
>>84337538
Priest's history with Green Lantern is not-great. He's the guy who gave us drunk driving manslaughtering Hal (which was retconned by Johns I think).
>>84337540
There's probably no way it could be that bad. But she's been dead so long that I don't care, she deserves a second chance that innumerable shittier characters have had.
>>84337567
Coipel isn't very fast, is he?

>>84337600

>>84337412
>everyone is in civvies for the funeral service, including Kilowog and Arisia who are god damn aliens
>Hal just threw a trench coat over his GL uniform
I can't quite put into words why this works so well, but it does. Classic Hal. He didn't even bother buttoning up. I don't quite remember, was this during his "basically homeless" phase? When pretty much everyone from Alfred to Superman refused to let him crash at their place, even Ollie?
>>84337593
>Like, can you even IMAGINE a social worker making comments like that "take me home" bit?
I have some awareness of legal cases against social workers, so unfortunately yes.
>>84337596
Priest did a novelized version of that scene where Hal wasn't actually drunk, but he smelled like booze because he'd been in a bar and the OTHER people in the car had all been drinking but he crashed anyway because reasons and the cops just assumed he was drunk too
which is really convoluted and I think SBP's reality punch getting rid of the drunk driving makes about as much sense
>>84337551
>POLL: Is Guy actually good at the sex, or not
Hell no. He's only concerned about pleasing himself during coitus, with no regard for if his partner's enjoying themselves.
>>84337600
I think Coipel could do a couple of issues a year, probably alternating with someone. Aaron likes to do flashback fill ins and stuff.
>>84337592
YOLO
it's not that different from DC, i guess they figure more books > double shipping
>>84337567

yep, those scenes happen a couple issues after that one
he'd been living with John and Katma but John partly blamed Hal for Katma getting killed so that was obviously not going to work and he didn't have anywhere else to go

What's the most amount of books he's written at a time?
I vaguely remember another incarnation in the 90's that spawned as an offshoot or continuation of Justice League Europe, except I don't think Giffen/JMD had anything to do with it and it was called Justice League International (not abbreviated)
I think silverfox Hal was the team leader, with a bunch of 90's relics like Crimson Fox and the female Dr. Light
>>84337723
>>84337738
Doom as an Iron Man villain/supporting character makes sense with the FF out and they've had some good AU stuff before. And Doom in a Stark-ish role could be really good and explore some infrequently covered stuff. But it won't be with worth shit with Bendis.
>>84337721
it really is, every few years just starts a new cycle of suffering
>>84337770
I don't see why it can't be Carol again

For as long as I live, Dr. Doom calling Carol fat will always baffle me. And it actually got to her. What the fuck.
HOLY SHIT OP, I fucking love you for doing JLI. I was thinking of storytiming it soon because I feel like it's absolutely required reading for DC fans.
>>84337794
Physical floppy sales are still the only thing that matters somehow
>>84337851
It's because of how/when they get the money.
>>84337833
It's one woman, who is me, and we decide partly by suggestion and mostly by whim, but we favor niche DC >> other weird shit >> niche Marvel

>>84337829
>that snake lady flirting with Arthur
Who is that, and why hasn't Mera stabbed her?
>>84337794
It depends on what has room for growth and what is stagnating, along with other stuff.
If you're talking about SURVIVAL (and not success), then digital sales do play an important role in not axing series. As long as a low physical-seller has comparatively high digital sales, there's no reason to cancel it.
>>84337904
Don't quote me on this, but Mera had been largely out of the picture for quite a long time when Johns brought her back in a big way circa Blackest Night/Brightest Day
>>84337600
J'onn's costume is lewd
>>84337938
Mera is indeed one of the elements of Aquaman that had been ignored. Really most of Aquaman's mythos prior to PAD was largely ignored until we started getting Silver Age revival stuff.
>>84337952
J'onn is profoundly underutilized potential /d/ at all times
>>84337952
J'onn is anti-lewd IMO.
>>84337981
>>84337985
Largely true, but you just know that, unlike Guy, he'd be considerate at the sex.
>>84337904
That's Crimson Fox, and I don't think Mera had been around much by that point? This is like RIGHT before PAD Aquaman
>>84337981
>>84338013
These terrorists have an odd look.

Uh, no? It's fucking Mad Men with the Flintstones. And somehow it was... good?
>>84338105
He's kind of sexless, even though he has this Greek sculpture physique going on. I'm sure there's an essay (or several) to write there.
>>84338084
it's because you're trying to make everyone sub to you in public, Batman. that's not how you do SSC.
>>84338097
BPG is my reliable anti-critic, most of the time. At least here he got the gist of what it was about right, which he does not always do, he just recoiled from it.
>>84338069
I don't get it either.
>>84338130
Uh, Mad Men also does that. I've seen the Mad Men description thrown about a bit. I see where it's coming from, but not sure it's the one I'd use.
>>84338013
See, I feel like jerk with a heart Guy might be alright at sex.
>>84338062
See, that's the weird thing. As the "not for me" Flintstones guy, that's what I thought worked about the book.
If you wanna argue "this is a weird fucking take for Flintstones and i'm not sure who this book is for", that's an argument you can make.
I mean, did the previews and media blitz - what there was of it - do much to sell Flintstones as the existential shit?
>>84338147
>>84338169
For me the most important thing about the Mad Men comparison is making it clear that we're not meant to simplistically cheer on the characters uncritically, which a bunch of readers (no one in this thread) completely missed the boat on, so it's still a needed reminder.
>>84338203
I certainly see that "the bird god they worship works perfectly as a record needle" comment in a different light having read the #1.
>>84338203
Not really, although the Bleeding Cool review that came out way in advance did sell that line, and the most recent interviews have as well.
The Conner promo stuff was really misleading in retrospect, but it also might have mutated out from under them, those things happen.

It's kind of like if people called Mad Men "like the Sopranos".
>>84337829
sheeit this is bringing back some memories
I have an old floppy in storage somewhere from this run. Great time capsule. That godawful PG costume, her weird allergy to soda...I think she was still considered an Atlantean at that point? Fuckin' Sonar had a costume that made him basically Orange Magneto, somehow became premier of the USSR using nuclear launch codes and an army of Rocket Reds and brainwashed JSA members, and also took Sue Dibny as his trophy wife(!). Hal had amnesia and yet still managed to bang Power Girl (absolute sluts, the both of them).
Found the cover. I maintain that Hal's greying temples look was his absolute best, and Guy's blue leather jacket and cowboy boots was his definite worst. Yes, I'm counting Gal Gardner and Warrior.
Also, anyone else consider Gerard Jones to be vastly underrated? He never really had any bad shit in his output, and he was a reliable workhorse. He did the best he could with the short notice and tiny timeframe he was given for Emerald Twilight, and he was always readable without sinking to the level of mediocrity of peers like Jurgens. Whatever happened to the guy?
I have so many back issues from more obscure DC stuff from when I was a kid, I really gotta dig through my stash in storage. They're all probably in mediocre condition and not worth any money, but there's a potential for a potent nostalgia buzz.
>>84338198
Who has the better sex dungeon? We ought to consider every character in this light.
>>84338252
That is one big cheeta-ta.
>>84338252
She actually looks like a cheeath for once. I don't think it's been like that since Priscilla.
>>84338274
The specific focuses on corporate culture and the like and the recentness of Mad Men is what does it. Pick a different similar media if it suits you, people tend to go what's fresh in one's mind, not references that may be out of date or not known to others.
>>84338282
Absolutely! Sex dungeon style is a very important question.
>>84338278
I suspect that Emerald Twilight severed Jones' relations with DC, unfortunately. But don't quote me on that.
>>84338204
At the risk of getting political, this right here is one of the main stupid things about terrorists. Like, fucker, it's all well and good that you're righteously pissed off about all the problems of the world, but unless you have an actually plausible solution to said problems, you can shut the fuck up and deal with it like the rest of us instead of stamping your feet like a pouty child.
>>84338252

>>84338278
>Hal had amnesia and yet still managed to bang Power Girl (absolute sluts, the both of them).
they were trapped under rubble and under assault while they did it, too! that's very dedicated
I really enjoyed Jones' GL run and it's a shame that eventually he had so many issues with his editor that he quit/got fired at the very last minute and they brought Marz on instead
Hell, they'd solicited an issue or two of Jones' Emerald Twilight already! that obviously changed
His original plans for Emerald Twilight sounded like less of a slap in the face than what Marz ended up doing

Can't see Guy in charge of a sex dungeon. Can see him in one though.
>>84338252
Huh. Barbara actually looks kind of intimidating for once. Nice.
>>84338354
Well, it is 4chan after all...
>>84338314
Good point. It's a little more specific with Mad Men, compared to Game of Thrones where people call anything that's got people talking to each other "like Game of Thrones".
>>84338319
I think most of the world would agree that terrorists are some of the least reasonable people there are, anon.
>>84338407
also I think Peej briefly thought she was pregnant with Hal's kid?
>>84338317
I think he did some DC work afterwards but I don't blame him for not sticking around
now that I think about it I'm pretty sure he wrote that weird fucking Batman story where Batman hates punk music because he got attacked by Sid Vicious or something like that
>>84338317
is the storytime still happening?
>>84338278
>He never really had any bad shit in his output
Yes he did.
>>84338473
yes, I'm not the fastest storytimer, but I do it by hand.
>>84338429
>"like Game of Thrones"
Funnily enough, you know what series actually CAN be said to be "like Game of Thrones"?
Amethyst. Both comic versions are all about violent and possibly sexy medieval fantasy politics.
>>84338508
>>84338473
Gotta be patient. The JSA storytimer isaslowslutand enjoys reading and replying.
>>84338508
hey no worries, im not very good at it myself, thanks for doin it!
>>84338440
>now that I think about it I'm pretty sure he wrote that weird fucking Batman story where Batman hates punk music because he got attacked by Sid Vicious or something like that
oh yeah, he DID write that and it was 2001, long after his GL run
>>84338526
Also, sometimes I have to get up and lead the dog outside, and that's an operation.

Peej gave birth at the end of Zero Hour and it is 1000% a "we don't talk about this now" Abandoned and Forgotten plot.
I'm crying laughing at that Batman face
>>84338604
>Peej gave birth at the end of Zero Hour and it is 1000% a "we don't talk about this now" Abandoned and Forgotten plot.
and for good reason! I think it ended up being a magic Atlantean baby or something

How the hell is Hal supposed to concentrate on maintaining a shield with Peej's tits in his face

these threads are just as much about the discussion as the comics being posted. think of it as an after-hours lounge for chill comic readers, usually pretty insulated from the shitposting about current comics that takes up the majority of the catalog
Matter of fact, JSA storytimer may well be one of the most based /co/mrades, and he's not even a namefag.
>>84338563
Is Batman saying he was Sid Vicious' boyfriend?
>>84338515
Exactly what I tell people about it. High res scans when?
>>84338604
I'm a fan of Black Canary's face here, too.
>>84338604
>>84338660
DC has hit a lot of 80s stuff with the digital, so they should get to it.
>>84338664
The sheer attention to facial language is maybe the biggest delight in this run.
>>84338635
>tfw try to have as much discussion in storytimes and never break ten people in a thread
>>84338479
care to elaborate? I'm not counting editorial mandated stuff like tie-ins (Bloodlines...'nuff said?)
>>84338440
>I think he did some DC work afterwards but I don't blame him for not sticking around
Apparently he won an Eisner in '05 for a book he wrote about the history of the medium. Not bad.
>>84338660
>High res scans when?
Probably never. Which is especially garbage since even her Nu52 series was solid, and people really got attached to those DC Nation shorts, so there's definitely an audience for more Amethyst.
>>84338719
I still have no clue quite how it happened but I love everyone who shows up in these threads
we've come a long way since the initial drunkposting
>>84338728
Literally all of his Batman work.
>>84338755
Now it's advanced drunkposting.
>>84338753
>>84338702
I'm gonna try and go with OP's positivity.
DC pls.When I am in charge of DC's archives, Amethyst will be first against the wall... er, scanner
>>84338800
I haven't posted drunk in ages!
>>84338702
I like to think Barda would actually NOT get mad at those ladies hanging off Scott's shoulders. She knows who he's coming home to. And if the girls want a piece of him, they'll have to wear collars and watch for a bit before they get a turn.
>>84338830
Guy is fucking great.
Hi OP and fellow owls!
>>84338838
Barda/Scott just reminds me of where's my Hawkman: Rebirth, DC
WHERE
>oh look, it's an emo kid in an old man's body
>>84338838
I have a major soft spot for the Scott/Barda romance. Part of it is the nightmarish stuff they've got experience with, to settle into this wholesome kind of suburban relationship is very qt.
Plus, y'know, Barda in general.
>>84338755
I'm convinced that the secret is consistency. Everyone knows that six PM is JSA time.
>>84338874
OH! So we're finally going to find out what the actual fuck Scott Summers did. You owls know what this means...

wow, that's a hat.
>>84338874
>this angst
Wow, dude, get a Livejournal.
>Barda/Scott just reminds me of where's my Hawkman: Rebirth, DC
I don't think the Hawks are getting one. At least not for a while. They've never been particularly high on the priorities list.
>>84338921
Teamed up with Mr. Sinister to kill Inhumans.
>>84338921
Um, Anon? How would we prove were the one who guessed properly? Or are we on honor system?My guess is he attacked New Attilan
>>84338719
I kinda felt the same way when I was posting the great great Denny O'Neill Question run, but by the end of it I realized that a lot of people use the archives to check out storytimes, so it basically comes down to luck. Sometimes you post an entire comic without so much as a bump, sometimes you get a solid lil crew with decent commentary, sometimes shitposters try to piss in your cornflakes. Fuckin' way she goes boys.
If you have the time, it's worth doing, if for no other reason than keeping some actual comics in the /co/ catalog and bumping off a few of the constant creepy/cringey threads about kids cartoons that give this board a bad rep
Of course, sometimes truly awful comics attract the most readers and comments. The most fun I've had on this board was posting Mark Millar's batshit Ultimate Comics: Avengers when I was sick as hell and messed up on nyquil
>>84338921
I fucking HATE what Marvel is doing to the X-Men. How can they be so ingrateful?
>>84338858
What, because he's a bloviating coward who nearly pisses himself when Batman twitches?
He is good comic relief sometimes, I suppose.
>>84338962
It was so clearly set up by Futures End and then Lemire did jackshit with it.
>>84338984
we're on honor system because I trust you all
>>84338985
Oh, interestingly bad comics are the BEST. Every time I do Rise of Arsenal, I get someone going "This is fucking real?"
>>84338921
My question is how intentional his killing a ton of Inhumans will be
>>84339007
Corporate is a cruel and unrelenting mistress, because the diktat to winnow it down and scatter them around is real.
>>84339045
feel free to guess if it is or not, the most detailed guess that hits the most plot points wins
>>84339032
I still haven't gotten over pic related. (Which was
>>84338921
Tried to kill the inhumans a la Black Bolt basically sort of accidentally trying to kill the x men
>>84338921
It's almost certainly something stupid and not nearly as bad as it's made out to be. He got someone pregnant.
>>84339007
I hate just how obviously butthurt it all comes off as. Like, I've got no great love for the X-Men, but it's just poor business to actively treat one of your biggest properties like crap.
>>84339032
And then there was Dark Avengers, which was so horrible that YOU WANTED to quit.
>>84339007
Ike Perlmutter gives less than zero fucks
>>84338921
See if he just attacked the Inhumans that's lame, and if he picked a fight with Black Bolt that's stupid, and neither really covers why humans would be so against him (but this is Bendis...).
I think maybe some kind of inverse-Terrigen thing? Something that would forcibly accelerate mutation, but kill off the Inhumans?
>>84339045
Entirely and totally. Storm or Emma is gonna demand an explanation and get an "It's them or us."
>>84339007
The X-men don't bring in Marvel movie dollars therefore they no longer matter
Inhumans are the new hotness, out of the way mutie shits
>>84339007
The x men books are still selling just fine so they really don't give a fuck.
If they stopped selling and other books didn't pick up the slack, THEN they'd be a little more worried.
>>84339045
Intentional.
Brevoort basically called Scott the mutant equivalent of Hitler. Probably wasn't talking solely about whatever Scott did that Death of X is telling, but it's probably just one of the things.
>>84338874
this is a good suffering.jpg
>>84339032
>Rise of Arsenal
Nyah~! :3
>>84339090
So I haven't been reading any of the Inhumans books. But from what I was reading, there seems to be a hook now in the form of "tensions created by 'you were just going along living your life and BAM! now you have powers and you've been told that Medusa is Queen'", right?
I'd kill to read Fraction's pitch that fell through.
They might reset that Phoenix Egg with Scott, post-Secret Wars.
>>84339183
>>84339183
Who gives a shit about the shithumans jesus
>>84339183
I'm not reading any of them either. Are they actually tackling that kind of thing now?
>>84339045
He probably won't have intentionally killed a bunch of Inhumans but I bet he intentionally did some action that lead to Inhumans dying or something
>>84339112
It's a little bit crazy to me that so many people really like that run.
>>84339215
Me, I want to know what they're trying to do with an eye to guessing the Doylist dimensions of it all.
>>84339198
That Egg seems like such a dropped Hickman thing.
>>84339229
I don't know, that's why I asked, but I got that specific impression from some thread today
>>84339198
then they bullshit that egg and make it so Scott tried to kill the inhumans with it somehow. lol
>>84339254
It was poor Ellis' Thunderbolts fanfic
>>84339112
>Dark Avengers
DARK ASSEMBLE
>>84339266
Sounds more to me that that's what people WANT the comics to be about, but are not, otherwise they wouldn't be regarded as anything else than hot garbage.
>>84339266
>>84339266
>I don't know, that's why I asked, but I got that specific impression from some thread today
I'll need to check some out. That and more exploration of the weird fascist default Inhuman society is what I've always wanted from these comics. Because the new Inhumans totally don't fit there and that's a good angle.
>>84339266
Hickman left a lot of things for talented writers to pick up on...sadly, Marvel doesn't have many of them right now
>>84339317
>>84339308
I can see that, but I can also see the writers finally figuring out what the book should be about well into the run, which has often been known to happen with obviously mandated shit.
>>84339100
It's official, OP has been storytiming since before I seriously got into comics.
>>84339342
Ewing would; Spencer seems more off in his own sandbox; Duggan?
>>84339362
/o\
This feels like a take on the Squadron Supreme, which is a take on the JL, is...
>>84339032
>Oh, interestingly bad comics are the BEST. Every time I do Rise of Arsenal, I get someone going "This is fucking real?"
One of these days I'm gonna get around to posting this, I swear
>>84339302
Wrong team, THAT version of the Dark Avengers was good.
>>84339373
Duggan could be the one...Ewing would go for something more obscure maybe
>>84339415
Still better than the Iron Man one.
>>84339415
Already getting US War Machine 2.0 vibes.
>>84339343
At times Terrigenesis has been written with this almost religious significance too. It's not obligatory, but going through it sets out the form and function you're destined to have to serve inhuman society. These random humans who are suddenly getting morphed are in such a weird place with respect to the traditional inhuman society.
>>84339254
>>84339289
Like all Bendis works, it tried and failed to have a ton of Seinfeld moments where the characters just talk about stuff. But all those scenes managed to do was make said characters look like idiots. Especially poor Karla. I'm sick of people not getting her. She's not THAT complicated, folks, for fuck sake.
>>84339415
oh geez, digital justice
>>84336940
Coming in late, and commenting anyway.
>>84339415
Oh noooo.
The War Machine 2.0 was nearly soul-crushing.
>>84339486
Karla and fucking Bullseye, man.
>>84339413
It has to be. Just look at that last panel.
>>84339506
What was wrong with Bullseye? He was crazy and wanted to kill people. Really hard to screw up Bullseye.
VENOM, on the other hand...
