Hi OP. My LCS had a sale on used trades today so I got myself a nice set of Mage I trades. This is totally your fault.

Fine. My hand has been pulsing in pain practically all day, but stopped like an hour ago. I'm honestly not sure what the hell that's about, but whatever.
Also read yesterday's thread, and holy shit, were you lot chatty last night. So that was amusing.

I don't think it's attention whoring to correct Rich when he notices in the latest solicitations that you've been moved to Trinity despite saying you were going to do 24 covers of Wonder Woman and will write an article assigning blame on the wrong people. He was also right to move.

So reading the Janus Directive trade, man those non-Ostrander issues....
And DC is killing it with the design of these trades, newsprint style paper, big chucks of issues (even tho crossover means less Squad in the book). I love them
i'm also very tempted to get some Squad action figures if the movie isn't shit

>>84546520
Ugh, this Nathaniel...
>>84546538

>>84546912
New Thunderbolts has been thoroughly meh. The unforgivable lack of characterization is what kills it for me. Everyone has become one-note and bland. Fixer's been reduced to all ego all the time, Karla hasn't worked any angles(and isn't bullying Bucky), and Abe and Erik just kind of exist.
And even then, nothing as really happened so far. Nothing of consequence anyway. And no, the Inhumans getting needlessly pissed off at the T-Bolts for destroying those pods doesn't count, because that had no logical reason to happen. And I've seen Inhumans fans bitching about Crystal being way out of character for ordering this attack, so there's that too.
>>84547053
>>84546638
Why do Giffen and DeMatteis love puns and one-liners so much?
>>84547054
The latest inhumans CW2 thing had their entire society join together with the goal of ruining Tony Stark's life. Like, they released his sex tapes.

IDK. They buy out his stocks and shit. Medusa even says after it he'll mostly be okay, then Triton blows up Stark tower.
I kind of like the idea of every inhuman everywhere just carrying out a grudge against Stark. Real 'We are the little folk - we!' vibe.

The delay on Barda kicking ass is blueballing me something fierce in this comic.
>>84547247
I have never read Skullkickers or Wayward.
>>84547245
Thanks OP. Rest easy, have a good day off.
>>84547099
... That's too stupid to even attempt to parse.
You just know there's a few Inhumans fans who hoped against hope that one day, Marvel would give them a huge push, and finally get their day in the spotlight like they deserved. Poor bastards.
>>84547111
>how can he have read all those previous issues and be putting such blandness on the page
Clearly, he wasn't paying attention, or Zub is simply that bad a writer.
>>84547245
I have to share this first, though!
>>84547307
Inhumans sit in my 'have potential, will never be tapped' bin for sure. They're just gonna keep writing them as replacement X-Men.
>>84546099
Damnit, I love Beetle and Gold's chemistry.
>>84547245
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
Boom tubes are fucking great. Seriously, molecular disassembly is a shitty way to teleport due to the absurd number of inherent problems, not to mention the fact it's literally impossible to do. Meanwhile, a hole in space is much safer, and agrees with physics a little better. Plus, it's just cooler.
>>84546712
this issue is lewd
May you and your tired feet sleep well
>>84547054
It sort of feels like it's biding time, like it's basically a tie-in book to Spencer's stuff. Which of course doesn't have to be bad but the art and characterization is off so it's not even fun in the meantime.
>>84546099
Bettle is so self aware it's not even fun... okay, yeah, it's still funny as hell.

>>84547579
To be fair we all have a high standard for Thunderbolts and Zub's T-Bolts is definitely written with an eye to appeasing/attracting old fans, but it's just not going to match the original stuff that created those fans. It's in a tough position. Even if you're great at aping the original material, who wants to or a retread?
I realise this argument could be used to advocate Fightbolts or the Red Hulk, yes.
>>84547418
The BOOM is very cool.
>>84546021
I really have nowhere else to have those kinds of complicated discussions without any psychos derailing everything, so I found it pretty nice.
>>84547757
I think even on its own it's not that great though. Bucky just seems incompetent and Kobik isn't acting like she was before (possibly on purpose I guess, who knows what Skull told her to do).
>>84547983
Kobik is a character archetype that makes me want to shoot myself, I can't have any objective judgement there.

>>84547141
It didn't, they just did it to fuck with him and made sure that it didn't hurt anybody else. In T-bolts Crystal is trying murder them without even trying to find out what is going on, and the inhumans that she has with her aren't killers. I could see Medusa doing that shit if she stumbled on them killing a bunch of Inhumans but Crystal wouldn't. They even had an arc where that happened in All new Inhumans.
>>84547784
They really do a good job of emphasizing the Boom too, making it stand out and look cool.

She tried, but was interrupted when Korbik tore her Moonstone out with her bare hands.

>>84547357
It really does suck that's what they've reduced them too. I kind of wish they'd kept them as a very alien, very hierarchical society, and focused more on internal struggles than whatever the hell's going on in their solo books.
>>84549920
Last thread was too wild for the party to end.
>>84545709
>Batman disguised as himself
You know Alfred made remarks on this.
>>84549944
That's what I cry out about, too. Like just take the Inhumans, run down the facts established in comics featuring them. They're so fucking weird! Don't ruin that, run with it. Inhuman society is crazy! You have this big terrorist event that thrusts that society into the heart of human societies it has always kept away from, that's a mash-up that you could do good shit with.
Even if you did want to awkwardly link them to some current social trend, Marvel is pushes the X-button they've been pushing since the 80s and they could be looking at like, radicalization towards other societies and the populist reaction to that.
>>84549944
you mean likegame of thrones?
the cool stuff about inhumans (that also sets them apart) is the weird hierarchical stuff and classic Kirby advanced primitive tech and Kree connections.
i can't get over the person who pointed out the xmen and inhuman should be teaming up to deal with the cloud instead of civil war.
>>84550819
I feel like just calling it GoT is underselling it, since so much of the political intrigue of GoT is based mostly on the setting and on historical precedent.
Inhuman political intrigue has the potential to be vastly more weird and interesting.
>>84545777
Two of Pete's Jilted Ex-Girlfriends teaming up to make him miserable.
It's going to be written by Slott, so I have no good expectations.
>>84550819
It's very conceivable that an alliance of minor powers that are 'almost' human could exist in the Marvel U. You can throw in Atlantis too - but probably not Wakanda, which is always its own power bloc.
>>84550990
It's hard to fit Atlantis and Wakanda together because they keep attempting genocide on one another.
Has it ever been explained exactly why Namor wants to sink Wakanda so much?
Also, like, Black Bolt lived in a soundproof chamber for most of his childhood learning never to speak at all before he fully joined Inhuman society. Black Bolt is Medusa's cousin, and Triton is a cousin to both of them. There's this medieval transformative society with all sorts of bizarre genetic caste shit and an Ancient Aliens origin. It's just so fucked up - please use that fucked up-edness.

To be honest naming your kid Max Lord is just asking for supervillain trouble.
On the note of the Miss America discussion over past threads, Jeremy Whitley continues to talk about it. I kind of hope he gets the book because it promises to be interesting, even in a failed way. Like

>>84561659

>>84561672

>>84561672
Is he even a good writer
>>84562344
I haven't been wowed by anything from him so far. But Princeless, which I haven't read, gets a good rep.
>>84561659
Yeah, I'd rather read a book from someone who may have elaborate headcanon but can hopefully turn that into plot/characterization than from someone who's clearly been assigned to write something by Editorial and doesn't care, or gets the job and then has to do all the reading.
>>84562596
The Latino > Native American equivalency there is totally nuts to me. Now he's on about a Europe Chavez, an Africa Chavez... But I do agree with you. It's a mix of possible consideration and trainwreck appeal, anything is better than blandness.
>>84561659
>>84561672
Sure is /co/mblr in here
>>84562856
It's complicated, because some Latinos are clearly mestizo (I am 100% unsure on the 'can you say that now?' status of that word) and there are a lot of Native people left in Mexico, who are variously shat upon by the government. And some Latinos are clearly just Spanish in ancestry and will get pretty annoyed if you consider them not white/European.
So I can see the argument for a native-of-sorts America.
>>84563440
I think it's going a little too far when she's clearly not intended to be Native. But artist design I guess probably wouldn't matter too much anyway since at least he understands that she's still just a being that looks human anyway and wouldn't be actually attaching any sort of background to her.
>>84563440
Yeah, I guess that's an angle. A lot of America's origins are left undefined so there's room to play with.
>>84563524
She's drifted pretty far from the one-off Casey/Dragotta original already**, you could push it more places from here.
**no underwear, remember?
>>84563563
As with everything else potentially on the table here, the "she's an American native in her home dimension but not native in any way to this one" could be an interesting take with depth or a preachy wish-fulfillment one. Schrödinger's America?You don't know whether this Miss America wears underwear or not until you look at the box.
>>84563440
>It's complicated, because some Latinos are clearly mestizo (I am 100% unsure on the 'can you say that now?' status of that word)
As a mestizo, I grant you and everyone ITT permission to use the word, because that's apparently how it works.
Really though, it's fine to use mestizo, so long as you don't start getting all weird about just how much is enough; a bizarre "purity about being mixed," if you will. Closer to most anglos, Canadians use Métis all the time, too, with regards to mixed Amerindian/French-Canadians, and métis more broadly for all mixed Amerindians and Europeans.
