Well, there's the issue right there.
Awh, Porl. No, you were funny. Don't feel bad.
I love that shit. But clearly King does not have the panache to pull of the Bogart/Bacall dialogue that he wants to write. It reads like a pale imitation.
From the preview it looks like it's returning to the fallout from Night of the Monster Men.
I, Vampire was a really great N52 launch comic with the vampire dude, and this Frankenstein debuted in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers, which is amazing.
You mean this...?
I know I'm judging this based on one out of context page.
But Bendis wishes he could waste so many panels.
Also ew, "Batman created by Bob Kane."
Epting and Tynion sounds like a fantastic pair for anything, despite me not being that excited by the premise. Who's the dude with the black mask in the background?
So one comic community isn't enough for you, huh?
Like you don't have /r/gonewild in another tab as you speak.
I'm "here for it", as the kids say.
I'm really curious where Spider-Man will end up once Spencer's done. The meta-commentary by Peter this issue, along with other things going on, has me thinking he's going to try to push past the endless Spider-Man continuity cycle.
aka Aunt May is so fucking dead lol

Not sure what this is. I'm not familiar with reddit.
Edit: That wasn't nearly as bad as I expected, but you keep things family-friendly from now on.

This sounds fun, but is Epting the right choice for this? Dont get me wrong, I love Epting, but I think he works best on something like his arc on Action Comics.
The three things I know about reddit are
1. Nude pics.
2. They give bigots a place to hang out.
3. Terrible site design that looks 100 years old.
The more I think of it the more I like the idea of an actual medical-focused strange series
As long as she isn't an actress this time
I don't think it's incoherent but I think it's just...not interesting. I don't like what happened to Lex or MM either
Has anyone here read anything they wouldn't have othewise read, just because it said Year of the Villain on it?
Does anyone here think it had a positive effect on a book you were already reading?

no one's going to start reading savage dragon larsen i dont care what you retitle it toI hope ya'll remembered to pick up today's most important release.

I'm not not interested.
I haven't gone out of my way for Year of the Villain. Maybe if there is a collected edition one day.
We're lucky if I read the things I would normally read. Usually I buy my books, read a couple, then forget they all exist until the following Monday before the new books come out and rush to get through them.
Harley is too much of a main eventer to be a henchman.
Also, they want people to actually buy this book.
Sprawling and crossing over to too many stuff, yes. But the core concept is simple, maybe too simple. Lex goes around powering up villains so the general public loses hope in the heroes and perpetua awakens as a result of everyone believing more in DOOM
When it's typed out like this it sounds worse jeez
My friend and I looked at that, looked at the interiors, laughed, and decided to stop talking about Raptor Cop.I hope ya'll remembered to pick up today's most important release.
No to the first, but I will probably read a collection of the stand alone ones from my library one day.
As for the second question, it set up the next TEC arc, which could be good or bad.
I think the neat thing about Year of the Villain is that the setup is just "hey one of your character's villains shows up and they've got a big time upgrade", so there isn't really a need or an obligation to fit it all in a single timeline. You're not missing on anything if you're not reading Catwoman, but if you do, there's a cool reminder that everything is connected and it's all the same universe.
I think the only thing that would have made it interesting would have been if had been a thing we just started noticing, but that was never called out or promoted. Then at some point announce your event.
The way they did it, though, giving it its own one-shot and logo and slapping a banner all over a bunch of books...that just made me feel like they went overboard trying to treat a pretty minor thing like it was actually a big deal.
So for me, it's just the presentation of it that was a misfire.

I mean its not all that really impactful, aside from the core Justice League book. All the other books, it doesnt really change anything, besides the respective villain gaining some new upper hand.
Is Zdarsky legit a top 5/top 10 writer in the industry now? He's obviously always been great since Sex Criminals kicked off, but Marvel giving him all these books in 2019 and him not just doing well but doing great across them all... he's gotta be in that conversation, ya?
Man, people are still doing this 'lol t-rex with chainsaw hands and unicorns' type shit? I thought we left that in the early 10s?I hope ya'll remembered to pick up today's most important release.
Ah yes, this I agree entirely with. It feels too small for something linked to so many titles, at least so far. I don't know, maybe I'm just suffering from event fatigue
OP
OP
I completely understand this impulse, and I approach many things the same way.
But more and more lately (like within the last year and a half), I've tried to embrace just saying "fuck it" and jumping into more things.
I think I have a little bit of anxiety about missing context, and that definitely hasn't gone away at all, but it's been nice to prove to myself that I'm actually fine if I just jump into things.
That was a lot of me rambling for no reason, so I'll be quiet now. :P
