That valkyrie news is...wow.

Huehuehue. During my early forum days and hanging out at a comics thread, the peeps in it didnt have anything good to say about it. Trying to go thru what bat books and arcs i am missing so ill settle for streets of gotham far as Hush goes.
Huh i should check that book out.No Road Home had an excellent finale. Waid's fingerprints are all over it though, so I'm not sure why he didn't write Avengers that way when he was doing it monthly.
I recall it being good for its time at least. The one shot that predates it s did well enough to warrant a series.
#1 of the new series came out already. Though this series is going to feature guest artists, so it won't be drawn entirely by Eric Powell.
It just wrapped up and it was a dud. For such an amazing prolific writer, his responses were short and obvious answers. Looks like he responded while he was on the can.
That was the exact line that broke my heart. I always felt he had passion about the medium but he came across as disinterested.The most depressing thing I saw was Grant saying he doesn't read today's comics anymore. That's never a good idea.

You're not too late to get in on the ground floor of the Criminal on going. Just three issues in if you wanna catch up before it gets out of hand. No need to read all the rest before the on going series. It is in canon, but that's not now Criminal's story telling works. It's all different stories in different time frames. The times they intersect are interesting, but never the point. Good stuff with similarly affecting moments.I want to say that even though Kill or be Killed is super gritty and dark-there was one part where I had to put the book down because it affected me emotionally and personally very deeply. It was when Kira was talking to her therapist about her family issues - how her mother had left her father and the father never got over it, and then ended up in a hospital death bed. It was framed with all these old family photos and it really got to me and reminded me of my own family.
The writing in this book is on another planet. Brubaker is just an incredible writer.
Anyone couldve told you that as early as 2005 ;pI want to say that even though Kill or be Killed is super gritty and dark-there was one part where I had to put the book down because it affected me emotionally and personally very deeply.

Woah. I wonder if he had reached a point where he wanta to stop writing for comics soon >_>;The most depressing thing I saw was Grant saying he doesn't read today's comics anymore. That's never a good idea.
All 4 volumes are on Hoopla. Highly recommended.Anyone couldve told you that as early as 2005 ;p
I disnt know he wrote this series, will check it out thanks.
I guess he is tired of events too.The most depressing thing I saw was Grant saying he doesn't read today's comics anymore. That's never a good idea.

He probably didn't vocalize it well, but there's definitely something there to what he's saying. It's also something to keep in mind with Superhero media going forward when approaching it critically.Grant talked a while back about how he felt superhero comics were part of the military-industrial entertainment complex, or something like that. They didn't represent what he loved anymore. To that I'd tell him: he should really read Al Ewing and James Tynion's stuff.
Ill check some of Tynion's work, but i agree with some of your points. While i fell off comics some time after dc's new 52, there were some good stuff still being published and am aiming to catch up. Maybe fans of his work should compile a list of 100 series from the past decade he should read and tweet it to him. :pGrant talked a while back about how he felt superhero comics were part of the military-industrial entertainment complex, or something like that.

Doubtful. But writers always want to get detached from comics when they get older, not realizing it leaves them somewhat out of touch with what's going on.

Yeah that be great if they wanted the book to come out three times a year
It's not bad, but it's not necessary either. Just kinda there. It has Sorrentino art, so that's good.Wait, Old Man Logan (the Bendis Secret Wars mini) isnt that great? I always heard it was pretty important and worth reading for the Lemire ongoing that followed?
Are there any other minis or books I should put on my radar once I finally do finish Hickman's Avengers and Secret Wars? Right now its just Old Man Logan and finish Aaron's Thor. Might check out Ultimate End and the Avengers World "before 8 months later" arc.
Ok nice. Thanks for writing this up for me. It wasnt totally clear to me if thats what was inside that box thing Doom launched at the Beyonders or not since they didnt explicitly show it.
Overall I thought it was a good ending to the story. Just started reading Secret Wars. Ive read that before, but this was the first time reading the second half of Hickman's Avengers.
While your here, what was up with the Nation X stuff and Cyclops? Was that all setup in Bendis's Uncanny?
And as for the Phoenix Egg, did it just give him the power of the Phoenix again like in AvX? Dont recall the egg being in AvX, but its been awhile.
In Latour's Wolverine and the X-Men, the end of the first arc has Cyclops helping Wolverine raid a Phoenix cult base that gave their members real low level psychic abilities using what appears to be a Phoenix egg shard. After they rescue Quire and are about to leave, Cyclops says he wants to stay and have a look around.The Xmen stuff is complicated. From what I understand there was a problem with Bendis/whoever was writing Xmen and Editorial leading up to secret wars.
We were SUPPOSED to get an explanation of the "Nation X" stuff and where the hell the Phoenix egg came from but we didn't. All of that occurred in the background.
"A" phoenix egg shows up again in the Thanos miniseries after Secret Wars in the possession of Thane. Possession of it turns the wielder into a Phoenix Avatar, is basically what it does. It did not show up in AvX.
Finished BPRD Devil You Know Donniewahlberg tim1138
I got through 12-15 in a single sitting lol. I don't think I feel quite as negative about it as either of you, but it's certainly clear the book lost the heart and soul with Arcudi's departure so I get where you guys are coming from. Hell on Earth really feels like the proper ending for the cast, while Devil You Know feels more like an extended epilogue for the universe as a whole. A lot of it could have been cut down but I'm guessing they wanted to get out a big hardcover just for this?
It did lack the big character moments and development the series was really great at (ESPECIALLY for some certain major characters), but the final issue was really just... perfect. It felt like closing the book on this universe in a really nice way. It wasn't really surprising with how any of it played out but it was satisfying nonetheless.
Overall, I really gotta say I'll miss this series. I can't think of many books that have even gone on for 162 issues, and it's even harder to think of many that can retain such quality throughout and have a great conclusion. Mignola did good with letting Arcudi handle it. He really breathed life into the universe.
Synder said metal 2 is coming next year.I don't for a second believe this is the last Snyder and Capullo Batman story the last part of their Batman story maybe, but they will do other Batman arcs.
Also I'm happy at that Jane stuff.
I think they're implying that all other stories they do will include and also have a focus on other characters.I mean I don't think they are done with solo Batman stories like they are implying.

Tbh, I find Snyder's Batman have more weak moments than strong. Love them as a team, but want them to do a different character together.
Snyder admitted they'll probably do more Batman stuff in the future, but this is the last for now.I don't for a second believe this is the last Snyder and Capullo Batman story the last part of their Batman story maybe, but they will do other Batman arcs.

I'd love that! As long as DC doesn't give Willow the boot off the main WW to make it happen.

They had talked about wanting to do a WW run a few years ago. I could see it eventually happening.
I'd be fine with giving Willow the boot. Her run thus far is a dull cover band of a Wonder Woman comic.I'd love that! As long as DC doesn't give Willow the boot off the main WW to make it happen.
There was that Swamp Thing book that Capullo said he was doing like a year ago, but still havent heard anything more about it.
I also think by "last" Batman book, they mean that this is the last story in their timeline, as in the ending. Doesnt meant they cant do stuff that takes places before this story.
he said it was an actual comic by him and Snyder. Didio wanted him on WW, Capullo wanted Swamp Thing instead. Didio agreed after seeing his variants for JL Dark.
Reminding us that Warren Ellis did a Carnage one shot in the 90s purely for money
What CBR reader do iOS folks use? I've used ComicZeal for years but it's not supported any longer and buggy. I tried using Panels and iComics but they don't have some of the features that I'm accustomed to.
