Good evening owls of /co/,
This train may be stupid as fuck, but it's the one we're on
>>78234372
Hello Storyteller.
So is this book about to go full retard? Because I have the sneaking suspicion something really dumb is about to happen.
>>78234372
So what was good today?
Pastebin of comrades: http://pastebin.com/0jKyyDv
>>78234454
Yeah, pretty much
but at least it's not VFH
>>78234469
Huck was pretty alright.
Crossed +100 was a nice conclusion for the arc.
JL is still being pretty dumb with the cosmology...but STEVE FUCK YEAH STEVE
>>78234469
I've only read JL and Marvel JL so far. Not bad. Not feeling darkseid war really. Very pretty tho
>>78234513
I am superbehind on JL so I didn't read it read it, only to see "THAT'S MY WIFE" and go FUCK YEAH JOHNS
>>78234469
JL was kind of meandering but
>best ship is back
>worst ship is dead
THANK YOU BASED JOHNS
>>78234531
So yes, somehow Eric O'Grady with a 'gamma emitter' has made Doc Samson, who WAITED to show the video to the President, hulk out
>>78234469
>So what was good today?
Justice League was alright.
Barda's back. And she's (I shit you not.) treating Darkseid War has her and Scott's honeymoon.
Even better, Johns hinted strongly at DianaxSteve. Thanks Geoff.
>>78234550
how's the Marvel stuff, haven't looked at any of it yet
other than that Ultimate End was predictably shit
>>78234469
Nothing I've read has been good, but I'm intentionally saving the best for last.
Don't read Ultimate End.
>>78234573
>other than that Ultimate End was predictably shit
It should have been last days. Why the hell wasn't it Last Days?
>>78234553
Yeah that was pretty fun
>>78234573
also Parker, that fix-it wiz, kind of fixed Alanna in JLU today
relaunch WHEN, I need more Stargirl in my life and Bombshells doesn't count
>>78234609
this is the dumbest fucking keikaku
>>78234469
Ultimate End was the opposite of good.
Justice League was alright. Worth it forBARDA/SCOTT AND THE END OF CLARK/DIANA
Also We Are Robin makes Robin War 4/6 of being good.
If Damian's book and the last bookend are good then this will be the best crossover in a looooong time.
>>78234648
I want Manapul to draw Barda forever and ever amen
Hello op thank god for 4chan for saving me 19 dollars.
>>78234664
Manapul's self-coloring is garish...but I'm getting used to it
>>78234677
Headsman and Paladin, yep
Paladin is such a misnamed character because he's like the opposite of a paladin, says the person who tends to play as a lawful good paladin
>>78234690
I like his coloring! But it's a style that will literally work with no other style.
>>78234592
>Yeah that was pretty fun
I also heard that Diana and Clark broke up. Good, they had virtually no chemistry anyway. And maybe now, Diana can be treated as a character instead of a fucktoy for shippers can latch on to like the poisonous filth they are.
>>78234629
>This is the dumbest fucking keikaku.
Storyteller, have you ever seen Death Note and/or Code Geass?
>>78234690
Booch is the better colorist, it's true
>>78234683
anyone who paid money for Ultimate End deserves their own misery
>>78234718
I have seen both! Watching Geass as it came out along with /a/ was pretty fucking funny
IIRC wasn't Geass also editorially fucked-up/expanded/100% not what they were originally going for?
>>78234715
It's a lot of purple toned colors.
Bizarre tones. Sometimes a bit hard on the eyes but not in a bad way haha.
>>78234721
He's softer and with a good eye for form and tone
>>78234721
Fucking garbage. What a great send off.
>>78234735
so I gotta get out there tomorrow and move some plants, the guys are coming to lay cable in the back yard and fffff, but at least they're happy to work with me about avoiding the 7-foot rosebushes
>>78234752
I choose the last page of Ultimates 2
>>78234769
remind me to run Ultimate Comics Avengers some time
>>78234469
BIG

JL was great for the Barda and Steve/Diana alone
I barely read anything else today, this was a meh week
The new Star Wars is pretty lame.
>>78234809
also, with the MAI WAIFU, maybe the embargo upon marriages is loosened?
>>78234770
Same. I will miss bro Thor.
>>78234735
I love Geass. It's both compelling and hilarious.
And yes, the show was subject to some heavy rewrites. The amnesia plot was added to allow new viewers to catch up after the second half of production was delayed for some reason.
>>78234690
It's a bit of a shame Booch doesn't want to color any more
Hopefully Manapul gets his act together for Aquaman Earth One
>>78234809
5 week months are always shitty
>>78234822
Maybe it doesn't apply to c-listers and those without a book?
>>78234819
My younger brother's already gotten spoiled for it by some assclowns who show up in stream chats with account names and copypastas to ruin it.
I'm actually shocked no one's tried to spoil it here on /co/ yet.
>>78234828
the EUPHINATOR!
also table-humping
>>78234822
Possibly, although I can't think of any other DC couples in a position to get married other than maybe Arthur and Mera
>>78234831
They are! But this week seemed exceptionally bleh
>>78234829
I mean, never say never.
They'll be back together on projects someday.
>>78234825
It was the perfect Ultimate book.
>These are called secret identities
>>78234856
I hope there gets to be a wedding one shot for Aquaman and Mera. ;_;
>>78234859
anyone read Squadron Supreme or Starbrand?
>>78234879
TIME FOR THE CHOICE:
Deadpool issues or not?
>>78234845
I got spoiled here with an OP pic. Also on tumblr Bc I was looking in a character tag which I accept the fault. Hopefully it won't be too bad before people see it
>>78234879
Supreme was alright. A team of super Franks vs the world. I'm really interested in the moral ambiguity Robinson is using
Are any of the new Vertigo books good?
Caught the Lucifer storytime and that screamed "want to have a book because of the show".
And IIRC there's only 1 that hasn't debuted yet but that one doesn't interest me from what I can tell.
>>78234920
I've liked Twilight Children, Unfollow, Clean Room, Sheriff of Babylon and Red Thorn
Survivor's Club and New Romancer were ok, haven't read the rest
>>78234891
Sure.
>>78234846
>the EUPHINATOR!
Worst. Cop out. Ever.
>also table-humping
..... Ugh.
>>78234819
Well, it IS Star Wars after all.

Wade. There is most certainly a secret base inside Cheyenne Mountain, but it's not a Skrull facility.
>>78234984
>There's something interesting about the whole Geass thing of postulating Japan as this uniquely subjugated country by the forces of Brittanian imperialism.
What I find interesting is that this manifests in giant robot battles and hilariously absurd stratagems. And just to drive the point home that this is Japan, there are two main female characters for nerds to fight over which one is better.
>>78235069
>>78235071
I keep meaning to read Attack on Titan because 1) it's popular 2) many of the Germans I know are kind of weirded out by its politics
>>78235091
we so wacky~
>>78234891
go for it
>>78235091
>>78235117
if you've never read Waypool, this is why people hate it
>>78235117
>>78235135
>>78235062
>>78235069
This arguing with the caption boxes is surprisingly unfunny. I feel like this joke should work, but it doesn't, for some reason.
>>78235117
this isn't going to be fun to read, is it
>>78235152
that's Waypool for you!
>>78235155
I'm moving as quickly as I can, really, through it
>>78235176
>>78235135

>>78235226
>>78235234
>>78235226
c-can't wait
>>78235246
>>78235188
Oh hey, the only mildly funny joke so far.
Keep it up and you might warrant a small chuckle.
>>78235262
>>78235258
I mean, I might be wrong, it might be better than Waypool, but...we'll see, yes
>>78235276
SECOND PRINTING????
>>78235299
anyone read WicDiv today, for Brandon Graham?
>>78235017
hello Madcap
>>78235320
I am choosing to believe everyone is struck silent via the magic of this era of Deadpool
>>78235346
wouldn't that ridiculous gun Paladin is holding kick like a fucker?
>>78235308
>>78235320
>this art
.....
>the jokes still suck
Isn't Deadpool supposed to be funny?
what kinda Thunderbolts u want, family?
>>78234735
Geass S1 is relatively authentic. Geass S2 is 90% Bandai fuckery. For attentive viewers, this makes perfect sense, and it's why people get really afraid of split-season runs.
>>78235331
You're right
>>78235389
They thought this was funny
>>78235395
Yeah, S1 had all these backstory things and hints that the S2 'solutions' to did not fit at all
>>78235367
Recoil tends to not exist in fiction.
>>78235331
Sorry. There's just not much to say about it. It's a comedy book that isn't funny, and it's hard to make jokes about how not funny something is.
>>78235451
if everyone's hurting too much, we can always skip the Waypool Part 3 of this crossover...
>>78235459
recoil is one hell of a thing, too
and yeah, it's not even so bad it's good
>>78235505
"If I omit articles, everyone will know I am Russian woman!"
>>78235308
I (finally) marathoned the series in prep but haven't got to Graham yet.
I like it!
I take it back, skip it, skip it.
>>78234879
I'm a huge Weisman fan so yeah, I really dug Starbrand and Nightmask.
>>78235395
>it's why people get really afraid of split-season runs
I have that problem due to the bad experience of three downward spirals in a row. Code Geass, Death Note, and Gundam 00. All solid in the first part, all went to shit in the second half. 00 hurt me especially. Fucking A-Laws.
>>78235416
>They thought this was funny
They were sorely mistaken.
>>78234531
What happened to Doc having control over his rage? Oh wait, Diggle.
>>78235570
The second half of the Death Note manga is WHEELS WITHIN TINY WHEELS WITHIN why is Mello
>>78235608
at least the anime gave us Light humping L's grave
>>78235571
Norman stuck a gamma emitter on Doc's back in the previous issue, which was forcing him to hulk out
>>78234753
This is the problem with using real-life presidents: not only do they date comics, but they also inhibit you from making them too batshit.
>>78235608
I really want to read death note because o love me some kekaiku but people's reactions make me feel fine staying away and looking elsewhere for my fix
Someone is storytiming all of Ultimate End. Somebody stop him
>>78235619
and Light teaches how to swim.
>>78235641
that sick fuck!
>>78235641
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91YS3fNegmE
>>78235638
It's an experience, and even if you don't 'like' it you probably won't regret it
>>78235687
so we came this far
we do have to read it all
>>78235534
>"If I omit articles, everyone will know I am Russian woman!"
This is gonna be her whole shtick, isn't it? No wonder I've never heard of Black Widow II. She's boring and cliche as fuck.
>>78235471
>if everyone's hurting too much, we can always skip the Waypool Part 3 of this crossover...
I honestly don't know if we should keep going to build up strength, or to stop because I literally just yawned from sheer boredom.

Thanks OP.
I've read Deadpool Dark Reign and this part of his story is missing from the trade.
>>78235762
Can Waid/Samnee get Black Widow out of her eternal rut?
>>78235745
Yeah Deadpool,this'll end real well.

.... Okay. So far this has just been unfunny, but now you're properly starting to piss me off.
>>78235779
Ugh. And now I'm starting to feel nauseous. This fucking sucks.
>>78235779
I hope so.
Noto did a great job with art as usual but man Edmondson shat the bed. I don't know why it was so boring.
I want to die
>>78235824
sorry, AT&T decided to chug cock for a minute there
>>78235890
in general, or thanks to this comic?
>>78235926
>>78235885
Edmondson is not an interesting writer
Cripes, this is boring.
Big Barda and Mister Miracle ongoing when?
>>78235957
So are the characters who aren't Deadpool or Norman going to get characterization at some point?
>>78235966
40 years ago, another time, another place
>>78235966
Johns could probably sell a New Gods book on his name
....want
>>78235966
>nothing Geoff writes will ever get the ongoing spinoff it deserves
>>78235984
Still waiting on Shazam ;_; When, Geoff, when?
>>78235779
I still find it funny how frustrated people are at the creative team for Nat being two white guys like last time
>>78235981
>>78235966
That's the danger with comedy. If a serious work fails at being serious, it's funny, if a comedy fails at being comedic, it's unfunny.
>>78236002
I have no sympathy for anyone who doesn't appreciate that Marvel put an A-list team on that book
>>78236012
>>78235938
>>78235968
Coincidence, or foot fetishism?
>>78235977
Only in the arc where Songbird resurfaces and Norman shitting on his pants send on the Blunderbolts to kill her.
>>78236028
>>78235957
>this page
Holy fuck. This is becoming physically painful.
>>78236012
If Waid/Samnee can't make people give a fuck about comics Black Widow nobody can
>>78236040
shhhh, anon
>>78236054
exactly! Waid/Samnee is putting your talent behind a book.
>>78236086
I never played MvC3
but I wanna play to fuck people up as Ammy
and maybe Jill
>>78236100
>>78236115
>>78236128
it's almost over, guys. one more issue in this crossover
>>78236100
FUCK AMMY. Infinite headbutts from a character that can't be hit by half your attacks is not fun.
>>78236147
>>78236159
>>78236148
Ooh, is she broken?
>>78236086
But the people complaining probably don't care about what results in good comics or what benefits a character in the long run, they just want to fill a checklist.
>>78235978
>>78235981
>>78235984
Wouldn't even be that hard. Book about husband and wife team. They fight crime, do cute stuff, minor relationship drama. Hell, use it as a way to showcase lesser known Fourth World stuff.
>>78236100
Delicious Jill.
>>78236186
Oh, sure. They suck.
>>78236177
by a long shot. Her bead comboes are also ridiculous.
>>78236208
In that case...
Get Didio and Giffen on it.
Third time is the charm!
>>78236208
Didn't Mr. Miracle and Big Barda already have a series back in the day?
>>78236208
catsuit Jill is a guilty pleasure of mine
So, I gotta run some JMD Mr. Miracle, right?
>>78236128
>>78236159
She really should have said "see you later Space cowboy."
>>78236232

What are you talking about? There's no reason to argue. CC is objectively the superior waifu.
>>78236338
your mom joke
(also, a hint)
>>78236259
Huh. Another mildly funny joke.
Or maybe it's only funny in a relative sense. I can't tell anymore. I think my sense of humor may have died.
>>78235071
And yet Pizza Hut somehow survived the reality transition.
>>78236361
I lost it every time I saw CC and a Pizza Hut box
>>78236398
god, that lazy paneling in Ultimate End
>>78236423
Ghost is the best, even in this book
>>78235032
A Sirens of Titan reference on /co/ never thought I would see the day.
>>78236341
Nah. I'm a Kallen-fag through and through. This is not a discussion.
>>78236361
>>78236390
What is it with Bandai and Pizza Hut shilling? First Geass, then Sora Kake Girl(not that many people actually watched that, but still).
>>78236438
So this was the time when most of the Ellisbolts were off being Bendis-written Avengers under Norman, because why not take a great idea and do a half-assed recast of it
>>78236423
It's all so lazy.
I could have written a better one.
>>78236441
Really? It's Vonnegut
>>78236423
I wonder what Bendis' books would be like if he didn't do that shitty paneling.
>>78236499
I wonder what they'd look like with a hard-ass editor who sent things back for compression re-writes
>>78236529
Bon Jovi 'joke'
>>78236529
I now want to see Bendis as edited by Shooter.
>>78236463
>Thunderbolts
>Bendis
Nope.
>>78236551
so much red ink
>>78236565
Yeah, he had Karla in the old Ms. Marvel getup, Venom as Spider-Man, Daken as Wolverine
>>78236551
Shooter had like a rules for stories guidelines right? Someone should check how well some Bendis issues fit
>>78236551
Do you think Bendis would cry

Is it wrong that I kinda liked Christopher Lambert as Raiden? Totally unfitting for a thunder god, but it kind of works if you tend to view Raiden as an incompetent dilhole.

Her in JSA Stoytime, our kind Storyteller likes to occasionally run particularly bad stuff for the sake of providing context for how good comics are supposed to work. It's all to foster some taste, you understand.

Madripoor isn't obviously based on anything, and is just kind of their as generic exotic locale, so it doesn't raise any eyebrows. Qurac is a stand in for like, every mid-east country, and it's never ever shown in anything even vaguely resembling a positive light. They made the Joker their ambassador, for fucks sake.
