Human Target: People like to focus on, pick apart, criticize and nitpick Tom King like they waiting for the next Illmatic and It Was Written keeps dropping.....

but holy shyt Greg Smallwood been dropping a masterclass in noir style art and storytelling.

Darwyn Cooke would be proud.

Doomsday Clock was a letdown. Smh

As a major crossover that was supposed to change the landscape of the DC Universe, Doomsday Clock was a letdown.

As a self-contained maxi-series Doomsday Clock was entertaining to me.

So glad Aaron is out of the Avengers. Can't remember the last time a big name writer took a big book, did big/important things with it and no one gave a single fukk about the. Not even Editorial bothered with it, they were just like sure Jason go play on that island over there.

It is wild how little I care about anything Aaron did on Avengers. even him adding Nighthawk to the team was just for me.

I have loved every issue of Human Target and Smallwood is probably a bigger reason for that than even King. The book is gorgeous.

And aside from Heroes in Crisis I don't think I have ever outright hated anything that King has written.

Right now he is killing it with Human Target and Danger Street.

Entertaining? It was boring the first half.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson is going to be writing a solo John Stewart book later this year!

New books form DC:

Titans by Tom Taylor & Nicola Scott

Cyborg by Morgan Hampton & Tom Raney

Green Lantern by Jeremy Adams & Xermánico

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Twitter is of course pissed at Taylor doing Titans, but I'll check it out.

Happy for the breh doing Cyborg because it looks like it's his first major comic book, but I'm just gonna assume this is a six-issue mini because there's no way a fukking Cyborg book is making it past that, especially if the John Stewart and Green Arrow books are only minis.

 

[Jello Biafra]

I really don't get why fans turned on Taylor with his Nightwing run.

 

[MenacingMonk]

I fukked with Nicola Scott on the Earth 2 new 52 book. Thought the art was beautiful. Her new style looks like a downgrade.

Sins of Sinister

page after page of pure unadulterated fukkery

 

[Mr. Negative]

I really don't get why fans turned on Taylor with his Nightwing run.

I think it's purely the fact that him and Babs are a thing and post Titans TV, him and Kory aren't .

funny thing that, since EVERYBODY (not everybody but still) hated TV Kory until Anna Diop won the fandom over (deservedly)

 

[Jmare007]

Sins of Sinister was exactly what I wanted as a starting point for this event

Gonna be a fun ride this next three months
