It's that time again, my brothers and sisters.
Mutant activity is dwindling rapidly, but the war has not been won yet.
Tell me; what's your plan to neutralize the most dangerous Mutants, and eradicate the Mutant threat?
>>90282376
TARGET MUTANT.
>>90282412
You're a credit to the cause, Sentry 001
But that's already a sort of obvious course of action.
>>90282376
TARGET MUTATE
How would Wally react to realizing Barry erased his children out of existence?
Will Barry ever have to pay or even come to terms with his sins?
Will Professor ZOOM make him realize his sins?
There is no way Barry should get off of what he did scot free
>>90281708
They're shifting blame from Barry to Dr. Manhattan.
It's not like he can't just have kids again
>>90281862
>hey bro, your kids are dead
>But you can just have new ones!
I don't know how big of a deal it is for most people, but I feel like there's a severe lack in comics of monsters that really make you feel small and insignificant when you witness them. They don't necessarily have to be Lovecraftian in nature because all that "incomprehensible to the human mind" shit is cheap, but what I'm talking about is just creatures that are too big for humans and actually feel like that not just form the way they're drawn but from the feel the story conveys. A big monster that the hero can fight just by shooting it or climbing on its back and stabbing it in a sensitive spot doesn't really convey the feeling of dread I get from something like pic related.
Let's take a moment to appreciate this shit, because when it's well done it's bloody well done.
>>90281102
Kaiju seem like the perfect fit for the kind of thing that I'm talking about. They're obviously living creatures, animals, and they don't have some kind of alien and incomprehensible motivations from beyond all human reason, yet they make you feel helpless and minuscule.
>>90281141
And then there's Celestials. These things make you feel small not just because they're drawn to be physically huge or because you can't just shoot them, but because the story treats them as somehow larger than life.
Does anyone get what I'm talking about? Is there like a word for this type of thing?

>Black Panther is Marvel top charting comic last week. Amazing Spider-Man didn’t even make it on. But most of the Justice League did…
>1. Justice League of America #1
>2. Detective Comics #951
>3. Flash #17
>4. Teen Titans #5
>5. Action Comics #974
>6. Black Panther #11
>7. Wonder Woman #17
>8. IVX #5
>9. Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #15
>10. Suicide Squad #12
>It’s no longer news when Marvel fails to place a book in our store’s Top Ten—it’s such a rare occurrence, in fact, that’s only news when they DO publish a book that readers want to buy! Marvel’s total Wednesday unit sales are approximately 1/3 DC’s unit sales in our store, and that’s with Marvel publishing significantly more titles. There’s no sign that things are getting in better in the near future–we can only hope that someone is hard at work on a Marvel Rebirth!
>Strong interest in pre-New-52 Superman and Batman, as well as 1980s and 1990s Marvel Punisher.
—-
>DC dominated again, but Marvel surprised by getting 3 books in the top ten. I suspect we’re several months (and perhaps a relaunch) away from Marvel fighting back to the top. The upcoming crossovers for Batman/Flash and Superman/Action have people talking way more than X-Men and Inhumans relaunching or Secret Empire. I hope they figure it out soon. Also noteworthy: if trade paperback sales could chart, Snotgirl Volume 1 would’ve cracked the top ten.

>Detective Comics was the #1 book for the week along with JLA.Elektra however gave them a run for their money. IVX since doing great and most of the DC titles are sitting at the same #’s week in and week out.
>Marvel continues to dominate the back-issue market with anything Mutant and now with some life into Amazing Spider-Man…even the new volume…whichever one we are on for this year.

>1. Justice League of America #1
>2. Detective Comics #951
>3. Flash #17
>4. Teen Titans #5

8/10
Where is didio_hope.jpeg when we need it?
>Not a bad week. Leanest invoice I have had for a long time. Marvel sneaks in one for the top ten. Captain America Steve Rogers makes it. Amazing Spider-man is bleeding readership badly. Clones and Spider-man just don’t seem to mix. Supergirl Being Super surprises with it being a more expensive title and not a Rebirth book yet still makes it into the top ten. Flash takes the top spot, even beating out Justice League of America 1. Batgirl needs a shake up on the creative team. It is now getting out sold by Hellblazer.
—-
>Monstress is still going strong here coming in the #2 slot. It was inevitable that Justice League of America was going to be #1. We have plenty of customers that love Batman and love “The Main Man” even more. I suspect that the love of those two characters will not be enough to keep readers onboard with the title, but what do I know since IVX is still a top 5 seller here.
—-
>DC is still selling insanely strong numbers here at FFF with 8 of the top 10 (and 12 of our top 20) being from the publisher. Our full top ten list is JLA #1 at the top followed by Detective Comics, Outcast (quarter issue), Flash, Action Comics, Hal Jordan & GLC, Wonder Woman, Old Guard #1, Suicide Squad, and Teen Titans. It’s great to see the other two books are Image titles even if one was a number one from an solid writer with an established fanbase and the other was 25 cents. As for the other half of the Big Two, Marvel only had 3 books in our top twenty with Amazing Spider-Man at 12, Extraordinary X-Men at 18, IVX at 19, with Thanos almost making the top 20 at spot 21. Curse Words has been a big hit for us, outselling every Marvel title with it’s second issue as our 11th bestseller so far this week! It’s off to a strong start with a talking koala gaining more traction than Peter Parker. #TeamMargaret
>Barry and Hal go through years and years of writing and therefore are finished and complete characters who can work as (dead) ideals for other characters or old mentors for future characters
>I know let's take away their character development so we have an excuse to write about them for another 50 years
Somehow Johns was smart enough to start moving past Hal as a character and let it be a springboard for other future characters but he doesn't want to let Barry go. At this point focusing on these characters is only hurting the brand.
Will DC ever learn to let them go again?
>>90280757
I agree. 90s was actually a based time for most DC major characters, except for Superman and Wonder Woman. The stories were about how the past affecting them, and the writers built on it and developed characters rather than retconning or rebooting. Then Johns came and shat on everything.
>>90280757
>not wanting a timeless DC where no character progression exists and johns keeps a status quo and resets to make sure he get's his favorite characters and stories retold forever
Come on anon
>>90281026
*affected them
Was he the cause of all the obvious SJW pandering, /co/? Will it get better?
no jews have always run comic books
Misconception that it will be rewarded with sales. They found out the people yelling for a transgender hulk dont actally care about the characters or buy the comics
>>90280218
If he was, then Netflix is going to get fucked
>>90278740
Left didn't have the Jinora cop out.
>>90278740
Left is the true form of a god and not th avatar. Right is a out of nowhere power which iirc happened after she was disconnected from the past lives.
>>90278740
One was done by the avatar thanks to A) having access to hundreds of past lives and B) being a very spiritual person who happened to be very angry.
The other was a girl who ruined both of those things and was NOT the avatar at the time. But was somehow able to do avatar stuff.
Would you still like shadowcat if she was a black girl?
>>90278381
I wouldn't dislike her more.
>>90278381
You're assuming I like her now.
depends, is bendis writing her?
>>90278118
What's the point of Steven Universe?
>>90278118
>it's another SU thread
>>90278118
To show that right wing people are not Literally Hitler™ 24/7.
That's a concept the people who watch the show really have trouble grasping.
>Venture Bros ended for THIS shit show
I thought new season is already in development?
>>90278056
8.6 and 8.7 for Venture Bros on Tv.com and IMDB
9.3 and 9.2 for Rick and Morty
>>90278056
Ooo, so CONTRARY, I just LUURVVE that in a person!
What makes the Asgard people so powerful if not an infinity stone?
>>90277931
Their natural physiology combined with their ability to weild the power cosmic to a certain extent.
>>90277999
how come Thor becomes human in Thor 1?
it would make sense if their power is not something their race is born with, but rather supplied/provided for by an external source
and since we know that there is no magic involved (thanks marvel) and thats its all science, then it means they are drawing their power from something
>>90278071
>how come Thor becomes human in Thor 1?
He didn't. He was still way stronger than the average Human. He didn't tear through Shield's guards around Mjolnir because of skill.

1 & 2 --- Fabok's new 52 #4 = Rebirth
3 --- BVS
4 --- Injustice Red Son Style
My Ideal mix of elements would be pic related...
Boots would be the same texture & color as the skirt.
Sleeve cloth would be red.
Marvel is trying that again.

At least Cap's design isn't as disgusting as in Disk Wars.
Wasp is significantly less cute, though.
>>90277158
Why does Marvel keep thinking japan is gonna like their shit, they got genuine good anime to enjoy every day
>>90277215
This is for little kids not for otaku. It's not like toy commercial anime is good.

Who knew Batman would look good with some purple?
Deeply love Wonder Woman's rebirth outfit especially when drawn by Sharp.
I would have made the boots thigh high but otherwise it's almost perfect.
Love the texture Sharp adds to it.
>>90277152
Funnily enough, I can't think of any I like at Marvel besides Quicksilver. Everything is either too hi-tech or too practicool for my taste.
