WildC.A.T.s back. Definitely needs to be uncensored.

I REALLY enjoyed Sabertooth and the Exiles. I hope they keep it like this. A team of mutants out in the world, doing dirty shyt to dirty people.

Fantastic Four was actually a fun read. I could go for a Ben/Alicia roadtrip book if it's written like that.

Wolverine: Hank gotta.... look. Dying is too good for Hank McCoy at this point.

Dark Crisis: I just want it to be over.

Random comic thought: Why aren't Nightcrawler and Daredevil best friends?

Maybe not friends but it would be interesting whevever Kurt is written as a priest that Matt went to him for superhero confession.

they'd bring out the best in each other. Matt really has Kurt's cavalier attitude in the best of times. It's just Matt hasn't had a "Best of times" in years. Kurt would instantly see Mat wearing a catholic hair shirt and try to drag him from Logan-Land.

Meanwhile, Kurt would have a non-mutant that accepted not only him, but all the catholicism that keeps him at arms length from the rest of the mutant population. Not "arm's length", but you know what I mean.

THey'd hang out, have philosophical convos, laugh and beat up goons/hand ninjas.


Plus you get the running joke of Matt being whenever Kurt bamfs

You know what you have a point. They could definitely help each other

When will comics stop writing Black people like this? Who even talks like this? WTF

Can't blame a cac for this one. Christopher Priest is writing the current run of Black Adam. Priest is probably out of touch with young slang.

The writer is an old black man.

On another note, the new Blade story was rushed, but cool.

How did I have no idea Purple Woman in Thunderbolts was Purple Girl from Alpha Flight!? I think my brain remembered those 5 purple kids from a while ago and thought one of them got aged up some kinda way. I literally felt stoopid when they showed her in that 80s outfit. But to be fair, Kara being Purple Man's daughter was never a big focal point of Alpha Flight stories.

There is no book out right now being carried by its art more than Hulk. It's just an excuse for Ryan Ottley to draw cool shyt.

Donny Cates is constantly trying to out-stupid himself with the script. I bet when he plots this shyt out he's like, ". Nah, that's not stupid enough. Let me go back to the drawing board."

 

[AquaCityBoy]

I didn't like his Hulk run, but I hope he's okay. He's also abruptly leaving Thor and putting his creator owned work on Hiatus.

People in Twitter are speculating that he's going through a rough divorce. I hope it all works out, especially after what happened with Jason David Frank.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

I usually don't like using Amazon for graphic novels, but they have a buy get one free sale going on right now that works on select books.

Bout to cop six omnis for $50 a pop.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

This book is way better than it had any right to be.

This thread has been dead AF lately, and I'm trying not to turn it into my personal Twitter account but:



I hope he pulls through. 2022 has been a terrible year for comic book legends.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Writing for comic books doesn’t being in the money.

 

[R=G]

Yeah, it was alright.

I hate that characters like the JSA and Magneto are just long-lived 100 year olds instead of getting some decent updated origin that goes 30-40 years back (like Smallville that had them in the 70s).

It's a bit of a time headache too in the special:

Spoiler: Spoilers

Power Girl appears in a segment meant to be in the 70's, but Superman is in the modern day. So Her current origin is that she's from earth-2 but somehow got to prime earth in the past before Superman. weird

Also, she's usually Huntress' bestie, but here she's an old Woman when Helena is young

They should have just shifted times better IMO.



Huh? This don't matter for Superman, Batman, Captain America...Magneto was deaged to be in his 40s by now. Guy is more muscular than Superman, Batman, and Spider Man. Lol.
