Almost caught up on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Few more issues till Shattered Grid starts. :mjgrin:

Is it just me, or are Jason and Tommy trash in this series? Them nikkas cause more problems than they solve. On the flip side, my girl Trini getting the shine she never got in the TV show.:blessed:

Time to start reading Spider Man again.

Nick Spencer did it in a way that didn’t feel forced either. But I will say it makes more sense and is more rewarding if you start reading the relaunch from 2014. They’ve been laying the seeds since then

Will do. I had to drop Spidey a while back cause I was just bored of Dan Slott's shyt. Hearing he's off the book is reason to get back into it.

Idk man. Them being married won’t happen again. Ever. But hopefully this lasts at least for Spencer’s run. That doesn’t mean they won’t break up to make up tho. Weird Spencer didn’t have any press out today

In the editorials of this issue they mentioned wanting to keep the reveals in the book hidden.

New DC rumors. From 4ch*n, so take with a grain of salt:

  • Tom King won't be changing any of his plot ideas despite the public backlash of the wedding. Next two arcs will be about Bruce Wayne self-reflecting on if being Batman is a good thing. He'll ask dikk to take over temporarily. The Bane cliffhanger won't be followed up on until around December/January.

  • dikkbats won't be a thing in Justice League, but it will spill over to Ben Percy's Nightwing. It'll double ship for a few months, and go back to monthly. DC's also going to push the Nightwing-Batgirl relationship as damage control for the wedding trainwreck, but don't expect anything big to come out of it.

  • The solo Red Hood direction will just be for an arc. Scott Lobdell originally wanted to use Roy Harper's death as the catalyst for this angle, but editors stepped in so that he could be used for Heroes in Crisis. Joker's Daughter will be taking Roy's place on the chopping block. Lobdell will be gone after this arc, by the way, to focus more on screenwriting.

  • Peter Tomasi will be on Detective Comics, but not until after 1000. His pitch is a globe-trotting Batman fighting the League of Assassins worldwide.

  • Speaking of Heroes in Crisis, it's in a messy state. Tom King originally wanted to do just a 6-issue mini-series about PTSD, but Didio wanted to be more like Identity Crisis 2.0. The three suspects are Booster Gold, Harley Quinn, and Wally West, since they're the only survivors. The two victims are Ray Palmer and Kyle Rayner. Rayner doesn't die until late in the event, though. The killer is Hunter Zolomon disguised as Wally.

  • After the fallout from Flash War and HiC, Wally will get a mini-series written by David F. Walker, about him getting his life together and back with Linda.

  • Huge Justice League crossover happening in January, between Justice League, Justice League Dark, and maybe Odyssey (see below). Superboy Prime is unleashed from the Source Wall. Yeah, you heard me. Green Lantern Corps might have a tie-in, too.

  • Justice League Odyssey is dead on arrival, by the way. Editorial demanded that some changes in the script after Sejic had already drawn two issues. Sejic's pissed about it, and is only going to do four issues instead of 12. Then he'll write and draw his Black Label book.

  • Editorial is letting Adam Glass a lot of leeway with Teen Titans. He pitched it to them as "teenage Suicide Squad", and they're are letting him run with it. Expect new characters to join, and others to be killed off. The higher-ups are really happy with this direction so far.

  • Titans, on the other hand, the top brass isn't happy with. Abnett has about 8 issues of scripts done, and DC's going to double-ship them just to get them out of the way before cancelling or revamping the title. They're letting writers make pitches. The general feeling is that they want to move Nightwing out of the group, and replace him with Red Robin.

  • Bryan Edward Hill will be writing an Outsiders title, with Black Lightning, Katana, Geo-Force, Halo. Nightwing will replace Batman as the team supervisor (and for Young Justice synergy). Simon Baz will be on the team, too. A crossover between this and Percy's Nightwing is planned.

  • Grant Morrison Green Lantern is real, btw, and it's a 12-issue run about Hal Jordan exploring the Multiverse and learning about how Lantern willpower works in other worlds. Expect an SDCC announcement. Green Lanterns will be retitled as Green Lantern Corps (it'll keep the numbering) and will follow the other Lanterns (John, Guy, Kilowog, etc), with Dan Jurgens writing.

  • KSD takes over Aquaman after the SS crossover, and she'll be writing about Mera, Queen of Atlantis. Aquaman will stay as an underwater Robin Hood, and there will be a Romeo and Juliet doomed romance.

  • Brian Azzarello is taking Suicide Squad back to its roots, kind of. Harley, Deadshot, and Boomerang are still on the team, but the rest will be expendable villains (like Cheshire, Clock King, Raptor), with a mix of old and new. DC might publish this under Black Label.

  • New Age of Heroes has been disappointing, saleswise. The Unexpected is done after six issues. Immortal Men and Damage are ending at 12. The Terrifics is doing well enough to last. Sideways and Silencer might get a few more issues because Didio likes them.

I'm fukking done with DC if these Heroes in Crisis rumors are true. :snoop:

Why hasn't DiDio been asked to step down? :why:

Nightwing fukked DiDio's bytch.

Wally filmed it.

That's the only explanation I can see being logical. :francis:

Just picked up some new marvel stuff.

Venom #1 was :ohhh::gladbron::ahh:

Loved the seemingly random ass Beowulf tie in. Grendel is one of my all time favorite books.

Picked up Spidey. Excited to get into a fresh Spiderman run on the ground level as hes always been one of my favorites since a kid but have never read a full run issue by issue. Ready to give Spencer and Ottley a shot.

Grabbed Immortal Hulk 1 which looks amazing too based on my obsession with horror movies/books

Grabbed #1's of Cosmic Ghost Rider and Deadpool for some fukkery :manny:

For Image I picked up #1 of Farmhand. Guy at the counter pointed it out and I know Chew is supposed to be a good read.



Excited to fresh start with some titles after dumping both Xmen blue / gold before they announced the end of the runs. Dropped Doc Strange too after a solid two year run in my pull list. This cosmic hunt for magic shyt right now is :patrice:
