I can't believe PKJ has time for another book. He is doing a ton right now. Crocodile Black's premise sounds interesting and is not what I'd have imagined him creating. I might seek it out.
Zdarksy really doesn't like Damian and it shows
Zdarsky had Damian defend Bruce lobotomizing Jason, imprisoning former villains who wanted to redeem themselves and in general Zur setting up an authoritarian regime in Gotham. He had him reject other characters telling him this (obviously) isn't Bruce by yelling about how his father can finally do what he was meant to do now the others aren't holding him back anymore and has him weirdly pleased that it's just him and his father now.
While Tim gets treated like a perfect angel and the only one who helps Bruce.
Come on. We all see what Zdarsky is doing here.
Even if Damian figured it out in the end, he was the last one to figure out the obvious, he aided the villain and now he's being held hostage by Zur by his own fault until the "good" Batman and Robin free him. And if they have to sacrifice anything to rescue him Damian is going to be blamed for it.

Yeah, despite my misgivings on how it was handled, I wish it would have stayed on. And seeing what's happening next doesn't make me feel confident the new era will be better.
I've said it before, but Krakoa should stayed around as a mutant sanctuary and nation. They could've wrapped up the current plots surrounding Enigma, Orchis, etc. and pivoted to a new status quo while still carrying over some aspects of Hickman's era.
There was lot of good stuff during Hickman's era but a lot of wasted potential too.

Sam Maggs and Aviv Or currently killing it on Critical Role: Tales of Exandria: Artagan #3. Paulina Ganucheau and Gigi Dutreix delivered a hell of a TMNT: Black, White & Green #1. Soo Lee is elevating The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos #9. All great options if you're looking for women creating away from the Big Two.
Women continue to be tragically underrepresented in the indie space, just as they are in the Big Two. Perhaps even moreso, because success on the indies is so reliant on previous success in the Big Two not just to drive sales but to cultivate creative partnerships with writers/artists that can elevate your work.
Sounds like Gunn tweeted or something and mentioned DC ONE MILLION, and now the Omni is selling out on Amazon and the single issues are jumping in price on eBay. Finally time to see if I can sell the omni I got from Hamilton Books like a decade ago lol.
Now I just need Gunn to mention a few other series so I can clear out the rest of the crap on my shelf I don't want.

It's funny/sad that the only real way most comics move now is based on the potential connection to the movies.

I always believed and they brought Punchline and White Rabbit back too.
BOOM! is just going crazy with these dumb Kickstarters. Im not even sure what this even is but they are about to launch a James Tynion The First Decade collection on Kickstarter, that includes new HCs.
I did the BRZRKR Kickstarter and now they are releasing a badass HC that wasnt included in the original KS campaign.

I've always felt like Kickstarter is a fuckin' scam. If companies want to put out a product they can pony up for it themselves. Otherwise they can eat shit.

Good thing Tini isn't writing it.
It's Leah Williams. We like Leah.
Maybe I'm an optimist but I see it as people liking Gunn enough to check out his recs. You don't make books sell out just by the possibility of them having any sort of connection to the movies alone.
I legit thought yours was one too at first glanceSo many Batman avatars
How's the Kaiju 8 anime? I got tired of the manga around chapter 50 but I could see a good anime adaption pulling me back in.
Really good so far. Ep 5 drops tomorrow. They're at the point where Kikoru just found out Hibino is a Kaiju
Oh it's only on ep5? Do we know how many episodes it'll be? Not really looking to be part of the weekly discussion so might just wait until it's all out.
Had to take out or hot water heater and replace it, after trying to replace just the heating elements to fix a bad leak. Never done anything like it before. Thank god for YouTube lol.

Yes, no, and it's okay.
Wells continues to mischaracterize Spider-Man and his supporting cast while writing bafflingly stupid stories and ham-fistedly inserting straw man versions of critics of his work into it because Twitter got him feeling big hurt. Gang War was probably the best the run has been - but even Wells' best is still by far the worst thing coming out of ASM in the last decade. Maybe the last couple.
People are going nuts for Spider-Woman right now because they're speculating on some first appearances (or first *full* appearances at any rate since this industry likes to get precious about it I guess) and it's been one of those books that I read and then don't really think that much of afterwards - very familiar to the last run by Pacheco in that regard.
I needed something to read on Marvel Unlimited so I started Peter David's original X-Factor run. A few issues in and the dialogue is insufferable, just non-stop quips and lame pop culture references.
Is all his stuff this bad? I also fell off his Hulk run pretty quickly a few years back.

The industry lost someone special when George died.
Agreed. He's on my artist Mt. Rushmore and he also seemed like a genuinely great person as well.
I saw him at a con once. You could just feel the love for the medium and everything surrounding it radiating off of him.
Hickman's always written a good Doom but it's been a few years now since he's had an interesting book. GODS was a disappointment.Preview for Hickman and Sanford Greene's DOOM

That's pretty much what everyone expected, right?
I assumed there was already plenty of stories for the MCU to adapt that the comics could continue looking forwards to new ideas, rather than running back to the past lol. Oh well, hopefully Gail Simone can bring something new to the table. It's gotta be better than the Rosenberg Uncanny run.
I read the entire run last year and had it as a top 10 series at one point. It's definitely a monochromatic color palette that Nguyen employs for that series with splashes of red to emphasize things like Sin City. 30 Days of Night meets Peter Pan is how I would describe it.
I found it solid as a whole but I think the ending was not as strong as I would have hoped. You'll know what I mean after you read it. Still, if you like Lemire and/or Nguyen you'll be at home.
yeah! it's decent. i wouldn't say it's anything uniquely special, though it does have its moments. vampire children that hints at doing some really fun storytelling that kinda doesn't know what to do, like a cat catching a mouse.

In the next year your going to have someone at Marvel trying to explain to Kevin Feige why they just cant put Betsy Braddock back into the body of Kwannon.
lol, your probably right.
As long as its Olivia ill be happy
For sure, if Betsy doesn't end up back in a Japanese body in the next couple years I'll eat a hat.
