I don't have much interest in the FF7 remake. I played the original back in the day and it was decent enough but nothing about it really stuck with me and I never had a desire to play it again like I did the Suikodens.
That said I hope it's successful as hell and leads to more PSX era remakes. A Shining Force 3 remake from Sega for instance would be awesome.

I am here for every bit of this. I will buy this book forever if DC gives me the opportunity to. I did miss snarky Alfred this issue, but Bats revealing his love for dinosaurs made up for it.

I have thoughts. if this happens and sticks they will be angry thoughts aimed at editorial. if this doesn't happen or doesn't stick they will be angry thoughts aimed at editorial. also lol at "maybe some other day" being the last bit. shade all day. I don't know how to feel tbh. part of me is optimistic because I doubt they'd be covering themselves with gasoline knowing that the fans will throw the match if they pull the rug out but then the other part of me thinks about all the other bullshit. they tried to undo the marriage immediately. then they actually put their foot down. shit, slott had to take bullets behind the scenes for them to even consider doing an alternate universe mini series with the marriage. my cynical view is that maybe they get engaged and then they're just engaged for however long the writers want them engaged for and then he goes back to single. it would be the most Marvel thing ever to pick a decade old scab just to pour acid on it. also Nick Spencer's dialogue for May was great.
Marvel is definitely living dangerously, there are three things that explain it to me though
1. Different people are in charge (Lowe, Yoshida) though I know Slott said it's even above that? We'll probably never really know.
2. Marvel has young Spider-people in Miles and Gwen that young people can relate to that are now mainstream thanks to the movies/games/shows. Big difference from even 2015 with RYV.
3. The immensely positive reception to getting them back together has them questioning their decisions over the last decade.
Fucking hell Yoshida out there cooking up a Mephisto event while this is going on? Dude's dreaming of the piles of money they're going to make off of it.
Going from Spencer thinking that there was an editorial ban on them being together when he started to this is pretty crazy though.

There's no way Spencer's long-term plan doesn't involve OMD at this point though. Like we know the hints were there but this issue might as well confirm it. Especially when you consider that
Kindred might have foreseen this and deliberately acted to split them up.
OMD for sure, I think slott even mentioned that OMD was on the table in terms of getting dealt with and that Pete and MJ could be in a relationship. it's just the marriage and apparently it doesn't matter who's writing, who the editor is, what they want to happen, etc. said it goes all the way up the ladder as a brand management type thing and he included Disney. I don't know, I'm here for it and am obviously gonna read it regardless but history has told me to stay cynical. and it's one of those things where if they don't because they can't then just have them date and have it be unspoken. I figured that's what Spencer was doing, writing them as "married" but not actually married. they are playing with powerful forces
I don't think I've read any of Pacheco's work yet but I like what I see from a quick Google search.
I'm not much of an artist guy myself but Larraz is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
When I woke up today I found a dead Yellow Jacket on my bedroom floor. This is like waking up and finding that you're sharing a bed with a horse head. Pray for me.
I'm not able to pray. I've been forsaken by God for reading comics.
Yea Larraz is probably Marvel's best artist atm, or at least one of them.
Pacheco is on late 90s books, like after Onslaught. He still does stuff here and there but I think he has lost some of his style that made it so great.
Social media being Batgirl's downfall is cool, but I already read this in Ms. Marvel with less getting drunk and dating older men
Also Marvel is livestreaming Marvel's Spider-Man on YouTube. The cartoon. I guess they do this kind of thing.
Huh
That time of year again

Just do what I did and watch Justice League Unlimited 6 times over the course of your life

Aw geez, we're toast

wow that's nuts - i literally downloaded the first two episodes of this to my phone THIS MORNING.
iTunes had a sale.
DC did that book dirty by not releasing an omnibus.
There were like about 3 proper arcs. And 5 arcs of filler.
It's one of my favorite shows of all time and I base my entire love of the DCU off of that show. Fuck anybody who fights me on it.

their stance on the marriage is completely incomprehensible at this point in time tbh. They can't get married again, but apparently it's fine to print marriage-era omnis, make jokes or references to the marriage (see the last issue of Spidey/Deadpool), and to celebrate the reunion in #1 Marvel gave away the goddamn "Mary Jane says yes to the proposal" issue and the wedding annual for free on CMX. And dealing with OMD means that there has to be in-universe acknowledgement that Peter Parker and MJ were married at some point, even if it's been erased from the main Marvel timeline.
So who really knows. I'll knock on Slott all day (especially everything after 2014) but it seems that RYV made them reverse their stance for whatever reason.
I'd like to see them married, partially because I don't care about other love interests and partially because holy shit, she's okay with him missing her flight to LA literally no other potential love interest could compete with that. But as long as OMD/OMIT get addressed for the trash they are I'm fine. If we get emotional punches like "your (probably) dying aunt that told you to propose to her is the same one you sacrificed your marriage for in the first place" it's even better.

Went looking for some art and found a page of one of the characters fantasizing about Damian's grapple gun.
That's a yes.
Has Mingjue Helen Chen done interiors since, or did Disney lock her up?
we'll see but none of that contradicts their stance because, well, :points at literally everything spidey since the marriage ended:
they can make jokes, they can make bank off legacy books but the ring hasn't been on her finger in over a decade and that's the only line in the sand that they set

I think this pentagram summoned me. I was washing dishes in another room, then I just heard a loud guitar solo, and suddenly I was here.
Cool at some point I'm going to go back and read 90's X-Men the same way I've been reading 2000's X-Men. I definitely need to revisit The Phalanx Covenant since it is universally regarded as the greatest X-Men story of all time.

Always loved Damian here. He's not white, people!
So you think someone killed that Yellowjacket and put it there to scare you like in that old timey movie?
I dunno about that. I wouldnt set your expectations super high with Phalanx Covenant. Its comprised of 3 separate stories in one larger crossover, and the only one I actually enjoyed was the first one, Generation Next, which sets up the characters that become Generation X.
But even then, I wouldnt call it one of the greatest X-Men stories of all time. Operation Zero Tolerance is much much better, but I still dont think it can be labeled as such lol.
HA! I know it's not that great but I do love it so.
That is really the only part of it I remember. It was Blink's first appearance after all.
My expectations will be quite low for that entire read-thru.
Smart to get things rolling on Harbinger while X-Men is in the doghouse at Marvel.
But more importantly, we're one step closer to X-O Manowar on the big screen!
Is he supposed to be Knull?Silver Surfer: Black #4
My new codename is Aizo. Shhh! Don't tell people my other name, though.
It sounds better than the old one, but c'mon. It's hardly a codename.
