>>85690812
I know, right?

Mr. Stroke is giving me that serious late 80's DC FOR GROWNUPS feel.

>>85690812
yeah Mr. Stroke has a lot of things I enjoy about comics, and I can't not see the similarities to MGS which is even better

also Slade holding babby is too cute

>>85690768
This sounds terrible but I'll honestly be surprised if any of these stories is good. That Hawkgirl one sounds interesting maybe.

>>85690812
It's nice that Slade is gonna be hot again thanks to Priest

>>85690840
Kojima, but more coherent (not that I don't enjoy his sense of humor and love for all flavors of nudity).

>>85690806
Hey, it also has Liefeld's Hawktits.

I busted up at the "Slade holding babby: MUH DICK" comment because never ever change, /co/, people are honest about their fictional kinks here

These Metamorpho faces are continually astounding. Also, I'm wondering if Katana's Hardass Who Kills was more unusual for female characters at the time, yes?

>>85690829
>>85690788
>>85690790
What if it's like the ice cream is from the Vega System and Kyle has this traumatic PTSD flashback and has to be institutionalized?

>>85690864
the cover has fuckin Hawktits on it

I enjoy the idea of New Talent Showcase but everything about the cover and the solicit is utterly repulsive

>>85690870
He even has a personality, and an enjoyable one. Hot damn.

>>85690887
A smidge, but remember that she's very much the usual "crazy mysterious ninja murderer" from the same era.

>>85690898
I hope it's Carol throwing ice cream in his face and then leaving while Kyle has a PTSD flashback and starts crying by himself

I am sure there is a buff dudes with babies tumblr out there somewhere. There was one for pets, AFAIK.

>>85690914
Maybe she'll be out of costume most of the story?

>>85690935
I feel really bad for making a joke at the expense of actual PTSD, but how I wish Kyle's PTSD became a permanent running gag

I just hope the Bagenda story isn't Kyle/Carol or Hawktits.

Unhelpful Brave and the Bold #200 plot summary via wiki:

While Commissioner Gordon interrogates the terrorist Miklos, a group of his followers seek to liberate him from the hospital where he is being held under police custody. However, when they siege the hospital, they soon find opposition in the form of Batman and the Outsiders, who work together to defeat Miklos' followers and turn them all over to police.

I'm half hype and half apprehensive as to how a writer not named "James Robinson" is going to handle the character.

I will be buying Superwoman #2 because I'm not stupid enough to think a cliffhanger "death""" is going to stick more than an issue or two

THe Superwoman #4 solicit even mentions Superwoman in the present tense!

Did we learn nothing from Captain Hydra?

Manapul's art is gorgeous but he tends to get too self-indulgent when it comes to double-page spreads and whatnot.

The artist on GA (name is slipping my mind at the moment) really know how to pace out a tight action sequence, so I'd give that book the edge.

>>85691377
Well, I'm still not mad. I like the Irons family as much as I like Traci, probably a bit more.

EARTH 2: SOCIETY #18
Written by DAN ABNETT
Art and cover by BRUNO REDONDO
Earth 2 as they knew it is gone, and a ghost world is all that remains. The surviving heroes have failed in their effort to save the world. As they struggle to accept the disaster they have caused, something in the phantom mist begins to hunt for them. In the Ghost World, no heroes can be allowed to exist.

I don't know that much about either but I know something finely crafted when I see it, and I have a fondness for pocket knives. And I did some aiki sword way back in the day; the guy who designs those knives is a bit of a ...well, odd duck, but he does actually know his shit.

I'm curious which route they're going to go with Earth 2 and the JSA

Will they just let the E2 characters die and forget about them? Will the E2 cast get rebooted into the proper JSA somehow? Will Earth 2 get a new planet AGAIN while the JSA is retconned back into the main earth?

I hope not, I hated that they seem to be doing that with New 52 Supes. It seems really disingenuous to me to just shove aside a distinct version of a character to reinstate the older one, rather than trying to differentiate the two in some way. I mean, the DCU multiverse is big enough to handle all of them.

I thought Abnett might be able to make something decent out of E2S but now i'm not so sure

I'm not invested in it anymore beyond "how do they intend to fix this/can it be fixed" though so I guess a trainwreck would be more entertaining but it's still sad

I completely missed this entire relationship in skipping the New 52, and I am extremely happy for it.

Metamorpho-as-Plastic-Man is not anything I knew I wanted but I did, you know?

Iris was really cute in the Impulse costume though. Those lightning bolt hair clips.

Kyle's dick does seem cursed, although I would probably read "The Space Adventures of PTSD Kyle and Time Trapper Donna Troy", ngl

This is Mike W. Barr's Batman after all.

>>85692627
He has a bunch of tweets about how Marvel's going back to these fucking insane high numbers to get variants on all the NOW!er books and that's bad business, because he was actually selling a lot of variants when they were open-orderable.

>2015 swung HARD in Marvel's direction. They had Star Wars, they had Secret Wars, they had rational variant cover incentives. What happened?

I love retailer chat

>>85691633
>Michael Holt was a decathlete, which is fucking hardcore

On that note, with the Olympics just over, I've been thinking lately about athletic body types and how superheroes need more varied ones.

Artists taking care to match a character and their skills/powers to actual athlete types would be nice.
Like, should the Flash look more like a sprinter or a distance runner?
Shouldn't a lot of heroes (especially the non-powered types) be shorter? Like how a lot of real life gymnasts are tiny?

>Marvel wants to sell 300k copies of Champions #1

it's going to have like 70 variants isn't it

>>85691722
Well, I'm going to suggest that he was probably an Olympian before he was a teacher and both before he was a super hero.

Who decided that superheroes had to be six feet minimum?

>>85692796
They'll be lucky if it gets even half that

>>85692792
When you get into this you have to think about powersets too though. Like Flash doesn't matter because the speed comes from speed force not physical strength. He could be a fat guy if you wanted (no one does though).

>>85692985

that's relatively recent, Wally was always burning calories before he learned to speed force

>It appears to be Marvel Comics’ plan to make Champions #1 by Mark Waid and Humberto Ramos the best-selling comic book in October.

>This is how they are going to do it. Retailers who match 200% of a retailer’s order of All-New All-Different Avengers #9, the one that featured the first new Wasp, will get 15% extra discount. 175% will get 10% extra and 150% will get 5% extra off.

>Those who match 200% can then order on top of that the Skottie Young cover, the Champions Variant cover, Hip Hop, Blank, both the Spider-Man and Hulk and the Johnny Blaze John Tyler Christopher action figure covers.

>They can also get the Champions party gear, 100 postcards, 20 lithographs, Champions pins….

>And one copy of the Party variant.

>While the Alex Ross cover is 1:100. The Captain America 75th anniversary cover is 1:50. And a 1:1000 variant – no details but could the odds be it’s by Joe Quesada? He does do these…

>Oh and the exclusive retailer cover availability, which adds 3000 to 4500 on for each comic shop that picks it up

>The only things that can get in the way? Teen Titans #1. The Clone Conspiracy #1. Civil War II #7. But they don’t have a lot of the things that Champions has – specifically that retailer exclusive cover.

>I wonder what Loot Crate will be up to in October?

Kingdom Iris Kid Flash was pretty good, though. (Great Jacket on Suit costume.)

There's a reason I wrote Maybe. They were poorly written. But they don't have to be. And Wally and Linda are probably deaged too young to have had them anyway

>>85692286
That's kind of what I meant.
They needed to give Kyle a love interest so they what, panicked and just went with Carol?

Musical love interests is stupid.

Venditti said he had no plans for Carol so he broke up her & Hal but I cannot fathom why Justin Jordan and/or editorial thought hooking her up with Kyle would be a good idea

>>85693753
I still say they were only bad under Waid. They were cute in their limited time by Johns in Rebirth 1.0 and in the Bedard Convergence mini.
