I thought the World Breaker was the Strongest Hulk we ain't seen nothing yet

Remember when Pak had Marvel fan boys pissed because World Breaker took out Damn Near The Whole Marvel Heroes for solo. He was destroying planets, holding tectonic plates together all types feats

We about to see Hulk go to another level

How are people's LCS holding up during the coronavirus outbreak?

I'm all digital, but I'm curious because comic book shops are barely hanging on as is, and having to close for extended periods could easily tank some of them.

there's someone here that loves Bendis, there's folks here that hate hickman.

it's all opinion, breh.

Except when it comes to Warren Ellis.

I love Ellis but even he isn't in the clear. Ever since he's actually found some mainstream success he's been tempted into doing cheap Action Storyboard writing. The Batman's Grave is a strong example of this. That shyt is just an extensively written tv-episode where he storyboards every action scene in detail (boot on chair, lift off jump, moonsault in air, boot cracks nose) so you can finish reading an issue in less than two minutes.

But the fact there are still people who love Bendis will never not astonish me. His writing is cancer to my soul.

I blamed Batman. It's legit the only Ellis story I dropped after the first issue

My local comic book shop is giving 25% off trades/graphic novels due to the coronavirus. They're justifying it since people have to stay home to avoid much contact with others. I'm going to stock up!

Image has this week's issues for 99 cents on Comixology. Usually I stay at least one issue behind on Image books since they're half off a month later, but I got today's issues of Undiscovered Country, Bitter Root and Tartarus for 99 cents each.

No Decorum tho since that was last week.

Trailblazer: Has an infinitely big backpack

Screentime: His brain is hooked to the internet, so he can google stuff instantly

Snowflake and SafeSpace: One creates ninja stars, one creates forcefields that only activate when he's protecting someone else

B-Negative: Morbius Jr, basically. Also makes a lot of 90's and 2000s references.

Now my question is.... who thought this was a good idea?

Who thought the hiring the artist was a good look? shyt looks like it was made in MS paint.

First character shaped like William “The refrigerator” Perry.

This book is getting shytted on so hard.



Peep the dislike ratio.

Those are some truly shytty names.

Everything about them screams that they are what a 40 year old white guy from Williamsburg thinks is hip and happening.

And from the cover to the first issue I assumed that Snowflake & Safespace were a couple but according to the press release they are twins which makes the way they are positioned on the cover awkward. Because to me it looks like they might be fukking:

I read OUTLAWED and it's like Marvel forgot that they hit all the same beats as this story with the fallout from Stamford Incident that kicked off CIVIL WAR.
The AVENGERS ACADEMY book was basically about young heroes needing to be registered and trained before they would be allowed to go around being super-heroes.
