Which Silver Surfer run?
Why not both? Hulk is one of my favorite comics characters and David's run is one of my favorites. It's rare where I'll buy a physical comic, and this is one of the exceptions.
lol thank you for responding. I wrote all that and felt like I was talking in a vacuum.
Hold up!
Oh. Okay. Yeah. I agree with this.
Hell yea. He's got like a good 6-8 month head start already.
Dudes probably just bored to death of still doing Lazarus.
Fallen Angels has the only mutants not totally on-board with Krakoa, AND happens to be the worst book

The-current-xmen-are-pod-people-and-the-real-ones-are-stuck-in-that-hole-with-sabertooth gang rise up
Yeah, that's one I had on my IST wishlist for months back in 2015 or so and then it went out of stock before I had a chance to buy it.
Assuming they come out (lol), I'll get:
Green Arrow Grell Omnibus
Simone WW Omnibus
Batman Morrison Omnibus Vol 3
LOSH Five Years Later Omnibus
JLI Omnibus Vol 2
Batwoman Omnibus
Omega Men Deluxe
Batman Rebirth Deluxe Vol 5
JLA by Meltzer Deluxe
Animal Man Morrison Deluxe Vol 2
Power of Shazam by Ordway HC Vol 1
Maybe Man of Steel HC Vol 1 and JLA by Morrison Omnibus.
I wish one of the other titles could've sacrificed themselves instead. Because in concept and characters it should be the best X book.
Also, has Scout (ugh) been in anything yet aside from a few panels?
A Skrull princess from back during the Stan Lee/Roy Thomas days.
I don't think we can tell what it's gonna be yet. These teases are probably just telling us what to read for prep.
Well the teases have me interested at the very least, which is more than I can say about any other Marvel event in a long time

I can't unsee the models that Dekal draws/copies in every piece. It was pointed out to me and that's all I see now. He draws a fitness model or some shit and then puts some of the character attributes over it lol.
They are all Skrulls and Hickman is just setting up Secret Invasion 2.0.
Ah. The Mikel Janin method.
edit: Oop. You mean life model, not CG model.
I always forget Hulkling is Mar-Vell's kid because they never do anything about it.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken is a legit great fun show about 3 girls trying to make anime. They have fun adventures and great imaginations. One of them is very tall. It's only 2 episodes so far but I love it.
Here's a trailer. I love the animation
Also the opening is awesome

i don't watch pretty much any anime anymore, but that looks really good.
Some awesome art from the Taskmaster mini posted on twitter! This is gonna look fantastic colored. As much as I'd love a Tasky ongoing, minis tend to have way better art:

Yeah it's really fantastic.
Watch this for an idea of how wholesome and good it is.
Theres nothing sexual at all about it if that concerns you. The animation is really nice and unique
Maybe I'll binge it once it's done and it's assured we don't get the epilogue from Usagi Drop.

looks good. I love me a good mini.
Just read The Low Low Woods #1 since #2s out this week.
Did anyone else read it? I thought it was fantastic. Absolutely the best of Hill House so far. I'll post some pages when I get home. Some of you are definitely gonna add it to your lists.

On the one hand, I'm super into it, but on the other hand, Oliver was like one character that I really didn't like Bendis' voice for. He sounded really immature and dickish and unintelligent. Him, Barry, and Ray Palmer are two characters that Bendis has written that don't sound right.
I think if I had a favorite era, it'd be the 00s through the early 10s. A lot of my favorite stuff seems to come from there, especially DC. All of Simone's stuff, for example, but I think I'm mostly with you in that I don't have a favorite era, but being that I really got into comics as a hobby and not just passively so recently, I've definitely read a lot more recent stuff (even as back log) than really old stuff.
That said I can understand burn out and lack of interest as of now. Rebirth really grabbed me on a ton of stuff, and when Marvel did there whole "Fresh Start" bit that grabbed me, too. I mean, I'm still reading a Hulk book. But I really agree on talent, too. I think a lot of it feels like Marvel and DC don't let writers do "passion projects" anymore out of their runs, if there was ever a time where they had more freedom, and that makes a lot of sense. Or at least more creative freedom. I wasn't a fan of Ben Percy's Nightwing even before it got cancelled, but I will always wish that we would've gotten his pitch for Tim Drake taking the mantle with Dick in a coma as opposed to this Ric Grayson bullshit, for example. On the other hand the fact that Joshua Williamson will almost 100% guaranteed make it to 100 issues and maybe past that on Flash is really something new these days.
I would sayd though, as far as names, I think we do have some but they really need to be put on bigger titles to get their pop. Tynion and Ewing are absolutely the cream of the crop right now. Kelly Thompson and Joshua Williamson are also really good, and Williamson is proving himself on both Flash and Batman/Superman with the former's biggest drawback being that Barry sucks and nothing will ever salvage how fucking boring that character is and you can't prove me otherwise. Zdarsky, Duggan, and Cates can throw their names in the hat as well, though I know the latter is more controversial.
Marauders
New Mutants
X-Men
X-Force and Excalibur are "your mileage may vary" kind of books. X-Force has been getting better, but it's a book I would describe as "messy." It's very brutal at times, but in a very over the top action movie kind of way, but yet still pushes political commentary and existential dialogue regarding things like murder, torture, and that sort of thing. I enjoy it so far, Excalibur is an X-Men book that tries to be a fantasy book, or the other way around. I'm not sure. The plotting also feels off, but maybe it doesn't because maybe it's well plotted and I just don't like it. I have no idea. It's at one more issue for me.
Fallen Angels is horrible and almost done anyways.
Because he sucks. Barry is singlehandedly my least favorite comic book character of all time, and I stand firm in that regard.
I'd like to believe it's more Jessica Jones. NEW Jessica Jones, but who knows. We've already gotten enough X book announcements.
