The best writer IMO by a mile. Since I don't read most of his work monthly though I'm kind of stuck waiting on Human Target to wrap to dive in. I made an exception with Gotham Year One which I'm digging. I also liked his One Bad Day story. Supergirl remains the best cape book I've read in several years. It's so so good as both King and Evely were on top of their game.
I am looking forward to it but want to read a bunch at a time rather than one by one. I think I'll dive in soon though. I've heard both talk about it in many podcasts and it sounds great. It's a great pair of creators for sure.
I feel like HiC had enough fun moments (the confessionals) that it made up for how bad the core story was. Honestly I wish the series just focused on the emotional roll of being a hero rather than trying to be a big stakes event. I'm sure the sales would have been much lower thoigh.
That's fair. I'm not too worried about trying to imagine everything fitting into a coherent canon or continuity so when he has the wrong voice for Booster (which he did in HiC and Batman) I don't really mind it the way others might.
That's true although DC does such a shit job of keeping it's back roster viable that I'm sure it matters much. I do hope someone follows up on his Supergirl run as she was great in that and a series keeping the same tone and characterization would be great.
They did Scott the dirtiest in the whole event and Cap wasn't any better. I remember at the time a company made officially licensed X-Men shirts and I won a "Cyclops Was Right" one lolOnly saving grace but as for the rest well:
Yeah, same with fridging Alfred. In both cases it was to the detriment of his work. That's why I'm happier when his stuff is not mainline canon. Let him do his thing without worrying about how Adam Strange ends up.
Apparently I bought it because it showed up in my kindle library the other day. I may read it.
If they're putting an end to the Krakoa era already, what a fucking disappointment this turned out to be. They had such a killer story set up after HoX/PoX and they didn't pick it up again until Inferno.
I can't tell how much you liked it exactly, but maybe you wanna vote for it
I finally got around to reading the first volume of Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda's new graphic novel trilogy (also known as the reason Monstress went on hiatus for a number of months). As opposed to the high fantasy of their ongoing series, this is more in the urban fantasy vein, with a two-timeline plot about a Hong Kong immigrant family in the United States with a mysterious supernatural history. Takeda's art style is a bit different here compared to Monstress, with a bit more in the way of manga-style expression at points, as well as what seems like less sharpness to some of the inks. Early going on this one, but I enjoyed it, and there are some exceptionally creepy dolls, if that's a horror interest to people.
They're punishing James Gunn. Nobody'll see the movie if there's no accompanying comic!
These seem like fair takes in general to me. I'd only fairly defend Bendis Daredevil.
Ending Krakoa would be one of the worst things Marvel has done. I'm wondering if it's referring to something like resurrection failing. I could also see them wiping out a lot of the mutants in general. Orchis is a great enemy and there's still so many storylines to explore.
Yeah and Hickman's X-Men, even if I get where they're coming from.
I'm going to enjoy Connor Goldsmith's take on that page in 5 years when I'm caught up with Cerebro.
Lol yeah and to see all the awkwardness between the Summers and Maddie
Idk but they better not get rid of Krakoa
That was the beginning of the hit job on Cyclops Marvel tried to pull
Everyone was so out of character in that event and the hit job on Cyke sucked hard. Only good thing was that the decimation ended but that lasted just a few years before they got into ANOTHER extinction event.
The 2010s were not good to Cyclops or the X-Men as a whole, but a lot of that could be blamed on them not having the movie rights

Yup, I just removed my Spy x Family vote and picked X-Terminators instead, if no one wants the Forgers there's nothing I can do on my own. :(
