the twitter accounts of those sites?

>>86307836
There's never really been much that I read content for. As long as you don't fuck up solicits and previews I don't care.

And speaking of solicits, I noticed that Newsarama's new layout fucked with how they display their pictures on the solicits pages now and I can't right click to copy their location anymore. It might be a script or something I can block but that's really annoying.

I think readers having a direct line to Waid has kinda fucked him up, dude needs to delete his twitter and stay off the internet or something

will not be surprised at all if it drops 90% from issue 1 to 5

Those are awful. Just awful clickbait that doesnt reveal the actual info in the tweet but forces you to click their link

>>86308346
>Do they have a hook that will actually make sense and drive stories coming out of the shitfest that is CW2
Since CW2 is delayed as hell and I'm 90% sure it will finish in 2017 I am also concerned that they are going to ostensibly spin out of CWII but actually avoid or dance around mentioning anything that happens in CWII

what IS the hook for Champions? if it's "the dumb adults started CWII so the non-dumb teens are making their OWN team!" I am not going to bother

>>86308278

Waid yelling at people on Twitter is why I stopped following him on social media. Hearing that they wanted to port that soapbox over to the fiction he writes soured me on the deal immediately.

>>86308346
>Like how A-Force has flopped around because there's nothing driving it beyond "LAYDEEES"
Who the hell's dipshit idea was to try to sell a book solely on the lineup? Like, I'd love a team up of Wondy and the Legion, but the immediate question is "Okay cool. What's the plot about?".

>>86308160

Does that difference have anything to do with the fact Star Sapphire's outfit is a construct created by the ring bearer's subconscious? I guess that means Carol is secretly a hoochie.

Yeah you keep believing that. I bet that's what was behind their thought process when they designed the costume. That's why it never changed, to signify that capeshit characters never get any reasonable character development. How meta and deep. BRAVO DC

>>86309418
What if it turns out that the Amazons moved to their own planet, and became the Sklarians? Or possibly Naltorians, both are matriarchal.

A truly happy ending!

>>86309735

Reboot is still outside the multiverse!

>>86309418

I'm actually shocked this isn't a silver age plot

>back saturday!
Welp, I guess I have to occupy my Friday someway else. See you then, Storyteller!

>>86309747
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

Hopefully that ugly ass costume goes away soon.

>Hell, LO3W is the story that suggested the sentient timeline idea.

Fuck really? I missed a lot of the Legion storytime, now I regret not catching the Hypercrisis implications.

>Reboot is still outside the multiverse!

And Barry is starting to remember COIE. Things are moving along quicker than I expected.

>>86309735
>I fucking bet they use Dawnstar's tracking power to do it. She's Johns' waifu after all.

This is guaranteed for sure.

I just remembered that a COIE issue was one of the first Johns bought, maybe that's where he waifu'd her.

THAT FUCKING BOW.
It might be the absolute worst part of that entire design.

>>86309802
>Reboot is still outside the multiverse!
That means they have Shikari, so they have double the vaguely defined ability to find stuff.

One must wonder if the new Wanderers are indeed still a thing.

>>86309853
Yeah, Brainy speculates that the reason the Time Trapper's identity keeps changing is because it's actually a sentient timeline that has a grudge against the Legion as a concept. It's some premium COMIC BOOKS shit.

>>86309660
Well, I'm sure just leaving them like that will not lead to further bloody civil war.

>>86309729
>Katana crankily believing in true love

God, she has suffered a lot of character erosion since this series.

It's like Captain Atom all over again.

>>86309747
lewd

thanks again OP

>I'm actually shocked this isn't a silver age plot

Eh, I think Silver Age DC wasn't big on mixing their big characters that way outside of team books or Brave and the Bold.

>>86309747
Thanks, OP, see you then.

>>86309973

Well if anyone is gonna remember its johns

>>86308575

He called Black Canary a tramp, and actually preferred her '80s suit.

I cannot Justice. Worst boy on the New Warriors team.

>>86315973
Original team, or in general? Because they've had some shitty guys before...

>>86309802
I thought it was one, except the planet of women were plotting to kill the Legion

>>86316092
Ok yeah probably just the old team but still I can't stand him.
