Squad's an essential DC title so it's definitely apart of the 5G lineup

Alt-right anime avatar villain should be compelling.Apparently this is JT4's new Batman big bad
lol
edit: Here's the ideas behind the design (this is from Tynion's newsletter btw)
aka, put all my animes and video games into a blender.If they did a Metal Gear Solid x Final Fantasy x Silent Hill crossover game, and the villain of that game was meant to be The actual, honest-to-god Devil… That's the kind of character I'm looking to create here. This should be a character with some complicated costume elements (to counter the simplicity of the Gotham Villains). He is not simple, he is ornate. And he should be scary.
When I picture him, he has a mask not unlike the mask of "Friend" from 20th Century Boys (seen below). A white cloth mask over his face (not a mummy bandage wrap like Hush). There should be a symbol on his face… Maybe an ornate gothic "D" in red.
His costume should look like an ornate general or emperor's military uniform that simultaneously looks like it's from a hundred years in the past and a hundred years in the future. Ornate armored shoulder plates… An ornate scarlet cape. Maybe some black feathers coming out from under the shoulder plates. He has a giant sword, but also a few guns in ornate holsters on his chest. A little bit Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII, a little bit Edea from Final Fantasy VIII, a little bit Auron from Final Fantasy X… But with a final dash of Metal Gear Solid militarism, and a bit of horror.
Honestly, I think he'd be all right without the camo pants, necklaces, tie, and sash.
Finished X-Men Shattershot. I found the Shattershot annuals pretty solid. Like No Depth said, it's great to see a Mojo story that isn't garbage. Helps that Mojo isn't really in it much. Also great to see Shatterstar and (briefly) Longshot. The X-Men issues are solid. Andy Kubert's super talented. I'm was really impressed how well Nicieza was able to tie together like 6 different story threads from the Lee run and Uncanny, keep them coherent, and build-up a really interesting story. The one big problem is that some of the story does happen in Uncanny and is only referenced through text descriptions here. It also, unfortunately, doesn't really wrap up many of the story threads. Definitely an "in-between" collection, bust still one where there's a lot of talented writing and art.
This isn't peak 90s X-Men, but it's still solid stuff before things get out of hand.
edit: backlog RNG picks Berserk Vol. 3! hype.

Yea I enjoyed it overall. Just thought it was a bit too wordy, which makes sense considering it was Kevin Smith's first go around. I especially loved the art. I thought there were a bit too many twists and turns, but it was still fun.
But man do things switch completely when Bendis takes over. Its like the book went from a classic 90s book to a street level noir style book overnight.

I kinda like it lol. Who was behind the design?
It's funny because I watched a video of the three creators discussing the creation of the story and Kevin Smith submitted a first draft script that was like waaaay longer. Quesada and Palmiotti jokingly told him they had no room for art if they went with that version and he had to cut back a ton of words. So hilarious that what we got was the scaled down draft!
Reading David Mack's continuation now and you can barely tell Kevin left. He is just as heavy on the internal monologues and words as well. Nice that it directly continues so far and with the same art team you couldn't really tell there was shift.
I definitely look forward to Bendis though. I am so looking forward to that gritty look and style.
Because it's Harley and a bunch of D List characters.
As is always the case. More people need business degrees so they can understand true genius.
Who is that in your avatar? I know I've seen her before.
I read #1, then I forgot the book existed.
This guy looks like he belongs in Destiny 2.Apparently this is JT4's new Batman big bad
lol
So is the regular Conan book ending and turning into King Conan?
Nope, Zub is still writing main Conan, although it's about young conan's adventures. Aaron's Conan run is over
Now we await the quality drop... I haven't been thrilled with Zub's writing for a while. Money Shot was especially disappointing.

It's the love pillar Kanroji Mitsuri

I'm only at Episode 15. I haven't seen her yet. I love her, though.

Pls message me after 19.
How are you liking it?
You will love her though.
A lot more than I thought I would. I generally don't go for fantasy-themed stuff anymore because I feel like the genre suffers from a lot of tropes. I'm usually into stuff more modern and sci-fi aesthetics.

Valiant got Jon Davis-Hunt to draw Shadowman. How did both DC and Ellis let this guy slip away from them?

That monster man's head looks very close to Wild Storm's alien designs.
Not going to buy the Black Widow omni, but the 3 issue Journey Into Mystery Black Widow story looks like it would be really fun. Getting the issues on CMX now.
I would buy an Omni with some of the more recent stuff, like Waid/Samnee's run. How was her Marvel Knights run?

That's some good stuff there. It's criminal DC never collected all of Shade and it's not on the DCU app.

Eat your heart out, ComicERA.
This is why I tell you guys never to leave here. There may be lewdness, Shonen Jumps and anime in here but we don't have people who accept White Knight as actual reading material.
Its like all of her old, original stuff. Pretty much everything shes been in up to the early 90s.
What thread is this from lol?
Eat your heart out, ComicERA.
EDIT: Nvm lol, found it.
Y'know what DC should do but they can't because people are boring?
Set multiple different lines in the different "generations", so fans can enjoy their favorite heroes in their eras. But people won't buy books that aren't "set in the present" so I can't get what I want.

yea yea, I was just wondering how much that us in dollars. Thats... a lot of comics lol.
I'd hope so. Wouldn't want all that Fabok work coming to nothing. I like seeing a full bat-emblem there :)
Spent the day playing Batman games in bed, then went to the gym to lift. Now I'm watching Batman Begins. I think I'm finally ready to make the world a better place by … assaulting random proles.
I just lifted, bro. My old neighbor was there and told me a coronavirus conspiracy theory. It was rad, bro.
Bro, I'm so cool a random guy asked me to check his squat form. And that led to talking an old vet about his time in West Germany during the Cold War. At the end the vet did a bunch of kipping pull-ups (but at his age it was impressive) and then yelled "hell yeah" and fist bumped me and walked off.
The vet said his name was Big Jeff or some shit.
Fabok tweets about it pretty regularly. He's almost done with the entire thing, so he book is bound to get solicited very soon. I think he has said he is surprised it hasn't already been solicited.
He didn't, bro. I dropped some facts on him to give his brain a workout, too, bro. Gotta lift with every muscle, bro.
