who /simon/ here?

Also I found this interesting from the Prieststroke thread >>85146257
>Actually, it's been a little easier than you might suspect. Alex and I worked up a plotline, and I started writing one-paragraph pitches for issue #1, issue #2, issue #3. I think we did eight or nine issues of, "This is what the story is going to be about." Then we submitted all of that stuff to Geoff, and Geoff came in and said, "This is great, but this is not what we should lead with. We should lead with X, Y, Z." He wasn't feeding us specific plots, but goals, in terms of story. The stuff that we had come up with, we kind of shelved, started again, developed this other [story] in consultation with Geoff. Once we had the new front end up and running, we still had seven or eight issues of story that we had developed previously. So we adapted that stuff into the new front end, and frankly, it's been pretty simple. We basically had eight or nine issues of "Deathstroke" already plotted, and now it's just a matter of executing it.

I like hearing stuff about what Johns is actually doing on Rebirth.

>>85162777
>that clickbait headline
Four interviews with Priest are out and posted in the first Deathstrole Rebirth lettered preview thread.

GL 4 was the first one that kinda let me down. Simon talking down Jessica seemed under written and the art didn't help. + we'd kinda seen him do the trick before. Still into it though

Good working there Geoff

It's good to let the frustrations out and at least he knows some of the problems the character has a lot of the times

Does Simon have a better ass than Hal?

Released yesterday, Harley Quinn Rebirth #1 hit the market to generally positive reviews and a reported advanced sales mark topping 400,000 issues, according to Bleeding Cool. “Die Laughing” part 1 was written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti and features artwork by Alex Sinclair, Chad Hardin, with coloring by Alex Sinclair and Dave Sharpe. Harley’s Rebirth – which is really more of a perpetuation of her New 52 storyline with a fresh origin story. Waypool

LIke I don't think Baz acts very similar to how Johns or even Soule wrote him but nobody cared much about him then and now he's funnier, so people are digging it and they don't give a shit that his characterization is different

I mean the way they bicker like teenagers is pretty similar to the shitty way he wrote Star Lord

also I think people find GLs pleasant because the GL books have mostly been depressing and a little bleak for several years so something cute and fun is extremely refreshing even if it's a little on the meh side

>>85163624
Probably, and it fills a nice niche of the sort of more normal lantern cape adventures that I think people have wanted.

>>85163825
yeah that's mostly why I've been enjoying it even if the walls of narration are annoying and the art is shitty

Earth adventures, cute leads, space cop stuff, Simon & Jess both have problems to deal with but their entire lives aren't completely horrible, etc.

>>85163739
Honestly? It's not as bad as people make it out to be. yeah, the beginning's kinda choppy and shit but the movie becomes way better after they land in Midway City. The characters are all pretty likeable (except for Slipknot, I guess), yes, even Harley Quinn. Deadshot definitely felt more like a Will Smith character than the comic book one but he wasn't awful or anything, Boomerbutt was pretty fun, Katana and Croc were underused but had their moments, Diablo's pretty cool. Overall, a solid summer flick. Nothing spectacular but not the awful piece of shit critics are making it out to be.

Also yes, there is an Ostrander reference.

Have to get through tonight's Secret Defenders, and THEN I get to storytime some good comics for a bit.

Yeah, I've been crying a lot about the little furry bastard. But he's just clearly even less himself, and less happy.

>>85163699
Guy here seems a lot more like later Guy, after he was less of a total asshole.

Guess he just doesn't like the League is all.

>>85165303
I wish I could say more than "I'm sorry," but it's a subject I'm uncomfortable taking about. So... I'm sorry.

You can be a not-faggot today

>Kilowog is the BEST
Well, obviously.
Anyone who'd say otherwise is a total poozer.

Just hang in there, OP. I know that's some of the absolute worst emotional pain imaginable.

We're always here to drink and laugh with.

Green Arrow continues to be top hype.
I don't remember much else of what came out, I was busy and read basically that and the Bunn X-Men, because I was curious about the new Hellfire Club.
M as White Queen is sensible.

You're old enough to have done instrument work on the Star Wars Christmas Album as Jon Bongiovi?

It's fine, anon. It's pretty hard to process.

>>85165530
I think I've almost done most of my grieving already.

thanks for reading, anons

back on ...Monday, is it, with the JLI in paradise

>>85165788
Just whatever you do, don't read We3.

I don't like namefagging, I swear I'm done now

>>85165828
G'night, OP, and thanks. See you then. I think a lot of us coalesced into the Meltzer JLA thread last night, weirdly enough.

>>85165828
Thanks OP. Have a good weekend.

>>85164230
Lessee how Bill Loebs works out on JLE, now that he's here.

BTW, /pol/ would hate the shit out of WML because Messner's his wife's last name and he hyphenated it.

>>85165857
oh good, good. it's more fun to read mediocre comics together than by oneself.

>Un Oiseau

C'est si bon.

>>85165036
Batman is never not a total ass in this run, is he?

>>85165062
This seems likely.

>But Bea, I'm an ice goddess! I don't need to work out, my body just looks how it looks!

Dmitri was too perfect. That's clearly why they eventually killed him.

>>85165529
I feel like this issue's Power Girl surgery would have been more emotional if this wasn't that weird Post-Crisis Limbo where Peej was like Atlantean or whatever.

>>85165828
G'night.
Thanks for running.
Sorry about the pooch.

>>85165828
Thanks again OP

>>85166389
They should have just made her Daxamite tbqh

It's not exactly Lawton but they work a little bit in there. He has an attitude that doesn't quite hold up when the right pressures are on him, and there's a hint of a brother complex with Flag. My PoV was contrary to >>85163917 in that I think the movie really goes to shit once they get in Midway city, but I agree it's not the level of terrible critics are pegging it at, though I still found it pretty bad.

>>85163979
I do think a drink would help greatly in dealing with the music in this movie.

>>85165070
I do think it'd be more interesting if Gotham Girl was the one who snapped.
