How is that FF book by Alex Ross?
Very good. It's a little short at only 61 pages, and as a result the story feels a little rushed, but the art and color all look amazing in that magazine format:





Jace Fox, the black Batman, is now half Asian

I hate this so much.

First they turn Lucius into Frank Mitchell by being another adulterous black father (but at least Lucius kept his b*stard son around), in the pages after this, Jace gets shamed for being rightfully upset about it. And on top of that, everybody in the family knew he was a b*stard and didn't tell him.

And this shyt here:



The way Tanya tears him down in the next page really bothers me, because she's trying to shame Jace for something he did as a dumb irresponsible kid and what Lucius did as a grown ass man with power and influence.

It pisses me off too because Jace had a really good moment for his development in that Dark Crisis tie in, and they immediately regress that with this storyline. And the book is canceled too, so there's no way this storyline will get proper time to develop, and who knows if or when Jace will get another solo.

And he never thought he looked more Asian than the rest of the family? :why:

Not to mention the dialogue is overwrought, which has been a problem I've had with this book since the beginning. In both of Ridley's Big Two books (this and Black Panther), the dialogue feels like Twitter discourse and not anything people actually say. Reading both books, sometimes I have to stop and go, "This guy won an Oscar. :wtf:"



I've seen people calling Ridley the Tyler Perry of comics, and I honestly can't disagree. Glad he's taking his ass back to Hollywood soon. :camby:

I was just gonna ask this thread if anyone was reading I Am Batman. I just started vol 1 and it's decent so for for me. However judging from the recent responses, it looks like it doesn't get much better 😞

I ain't been paying attention to comics at large.

WildC.A.T.s has been great despite not being censor free. My dawg Agent Wax from the National Park Service is back doing "uhh..... government stuff.". :banderas:

All I need now is Holden (conductor, we have a problem :damn:) and Tao to show up and fukk up DC properly. That fukkery. :wow:

Comic heads reading this: Point Blank into Sleeper into Coup D'Etat into Wildcats 3.0 is one of the GOAT comic stories ever.

I Mother Righteous from Legion of X the other Sinister Clone?

Cause really, who else could it be?
It's definitely her. She has a heart shaped mask and we're missing the Heart-forehead Sinister.
The only swerve is that it could be the peacock tattoo/masked guy in a suit from X-Force.

Ridley got everyone pissed off about this week's issue of Black Panther too.

Ridley wrote Captain America like he was a redneck version of Ultimate Cap.
