Google is showing a bunch of 50 Shades of Grey ripoffs. Please say it's someone else with the same name.

I don't recognize either of these names. They done anything good?

That costume looks like a generic Street Fighter rip off and I've never heard of the writer

At least her last book had Del Mundo art

If there's not ELEKTRA on top, i wouldn't even know this is Elektra. Why is her hair on a ponytail?

>>87626564

>wrong costume
>wrong hair
>wrong weapon
>looks like a shitty anime ripoff

This is fucking disgusting

>>87626739
Yeah, Kingpin has me really excited. I liked the Kingpin mini that the writer just did. Bullseye might be cool too.

This though. I mean, it'd be nice if it turns out good, but no one has done anything interesting with Elektra since Miller and the redesign is extremely lazy. If you're going to do a synergy-based redesign, at least give it some unique elements since you're working with comics instead of live-action and can afford to get a bit unpractical.

I've never heard of the writer though so I've got nothing to go off of for determining quality. Has anyone read any of his books? Is this his first comic?

>Copying the Netflix costume

On the scale of Creative Bankruptcy ranging from 1 to 10, you've hit a solid Bob Kane.

>>87626564
Why?

Not even posting THE PLOT:
>"When we find Elektra in this story she is trying to hide in plain sight. She’s running. From everything," said Owens. "Vegas is a place that is extremely unfamiliar to her so that makes it perfect for her to hide out. But much like New York, Vegas has a dark side. And Elektra may not be able to stay out of trouble for long."

Elektra comes to Sin City and into the crosshairs of Avengers Arena villain Arcade.

"I love Arcade! He is so kooky. But at the same time he is not someone to be underestimated. He’s a brilliant inventor and a sadistic killer. He’s incredibly dangerous. It’s a different kind of threat for Elektra," said the writer. "As far as his interest in Elektra, she is one of the most formidable killers in the Marvel Universe. She fits perfectly into the new game he has constructed. So when she comes on his radar he simply can’t resist!"

>>87626875
That I can find, seems he wrote for Netflix Luke Cage

>>87626884
that's one firm grip, Murdock

>>87626875
I can't find anything about him. Only that he wrote one episode of Luke Cage and two of Agents of SHIELD. Absolutely nothing else.

>>87626960
Four for Agents, my bad.

>>87626923
>Arcade vs. Elektra in Vegas
That sounds vaguely interesting? Like a solid 6 issue stealth mini.

Just to reply to my own post like biggest cuck ever, remember when he snatched kids because adult superheroes are too hard for him? And now he goes for DEADLIEST ASSASSIN IN MARVEL 616-8. Nigga got wrecked by girl with jetpack.

>>87627032
He is. Just think about it, he could have killed any of the heroes he kidnapped and sent into Murderworld at any time.

That sounds like a book that doesn't have much of a hook.

Always have a soft spot for Elektra because the Miller/Varley Elektra stuff is probably their best work, artistically, and I've never forgotten it for as long as I've comicked. And also, I feel the Kingpin-ish Marvel push is a lot more solid than the current Deadpool-ish one. But if you make a book with no clear hook, and not much going on, and decompressed....

>>87626573
M-maybe it will be a good 10 issue run though.

Know what, why not make Dust their lead female hero to push? They can retcon the mutant out of her like they did Wanda.

Owens wrote the episode of Luke Cage where he breaks into the community center to steal all that cash and the episode of AoS with the Ghost Rider/Hellfire fight in the fireworks warehouse.

People might bitch out DC's writer/artist outreach for mainly hiring established comics, TV and book guys but there's something to be said for actually putting them through a program to learn how to do comics before having them write your comics.

Then again, can you imagine Bendis being your comics-writing mentor?

>newb writer
>not allowed to use cooler villains
Yeah, right. He spent whole his life hoping to write Arcade, not Doom and Magneto.

I'm vaguely interested in this purely for being a new writer with no baggage, but Kingpin and Bullseye are much, much more appealing.

>>87627763

Snyder got us the likes of Benett. I can't even imagine what Bendis would produce.

Although Marvel does sometimes do a similar thing with having new writers "co-write" a comic which actually means writing the comic but having an established writer's name on it and them helping make sure it's up to the "marvel standard" or what have you.

Fraction did it under Brubaker. Hickman did it under Bendis. Spencer did it under Hickman. CM Punk did it under Bunn.

I'll support Owl Goingback no matter what he writes.

>>87626564

have no idea who these 2 guys are. congrats marvel for another cancelled comics

>>87628854
It still triggers me so much that they took like the happiest, most upbeat teen characters and literally fucking eviscerated them for no reason. Fucking. Hopeless.

I dimly remember him dying in Undercover but I may be wrong. I do remember him being alive and well and tied to helicarrier at the end of said book.

>>87629084
Occupy Avengers, despite having a horrible name, is about Hawkeye leading a team of non-powered heroes on a road trip across the mid-west. First issue was pretty good.

>>87629111
I do find it funny how little respect Arcade gets from actual supervillains, despite working harder than most of them.

>>87628939
He is, yeah. Also a former paratrooper, mechanic, bar-owner, gravedigger, horror novelist, etc, etc.

>>87629561
>paratrooper, mechanic, bar-owner, gravedigger, horror novelist
So, a real American.

>>87629455
That's the problem. He's a try-hard. No one likes a try-hard.

>>87629601
Certainly a guy Heinlein could have written praise of.

>>87629628
Heinlein was a racist, anon.

>>87629643
It was the "specialization is for insects" quote I was getting at.

>>87629643
Everyone's a racist to you SJW types.

You've cried wolf for so long no one's listening any more. Just look at the election for proof.

>>87629711
>"specialization is for insects"
But he also believed in incest, which creates mongrels! What the fuck was his problem?

>>87629770
>trumprina gets triggered
Nice.

>>87629771
I've never been a major Heinlein fan but I respect he was an independent voice and I respect some of his actions, e.g. him keeping PKD solvent for no other reason than kindness.

>>87629796
>keeping PKD solvent for no other reason than kindness.
I think it was Sturgeon that he helped, anon. And of course, he did it because WE SOUTHERN MEN HAVE TO HELP EACH OTHER

>>87629794
The entire country is triggered.

SJWs started an arms race.

>>87629833
OK. Anything else you'd like to add to the conversation on Heinlein or just came here to be le edgy?

>>87629850
Edgy? You're the one who called him racist.

>>87629880
>I've been talking to a resurrected Heinlein
OH SHI--

>>87629821
PKD himself:
>"Several years ago, when I was ill, Heinlein offered his help, anything he could do, and we had never met; he would phone me to cheer me up and see how I was doing. He wanted to buy me an electric typewriter, God bless him—one of the few true gentlemen in this world. I don't agree with any ideas he puts forth in his writing, but that is neither here nor there. One time when I owed the IRS a lot of money and couldn't raise it, Heinlein loaned the money to me. I think a great deal of him and his wife; I dedicated a book to them in appreciation. Robert Heinlein is a fine-looking man, very impressive and very military in stance; you can tell he has a military background, even to the haircut. He knows I'm a flipped-out freak and still he helped me and my wife when we were in trouble. That is the best in humanity, there; that is who and what I love."

>>87627413
That cowl makes Daredevil look more Hugo Weaving than Ben Affleck

>>87629915
Don't be silly anon, there's no way I'm Heinlein. I died of old age years ago.

Well, duh. RAH would never give anything in exchange for nothing.

It's the introduction to the 1980 "The Golden Man".

wat? You make less sense with each post.

Wikipedia confirms. But I find it suspicious that a radical rightwinger like Heinlein would help a leftist like PKD; maybe RAH thought Dick was a libertarian because he distrusted the government?

>>87630034
Hey, it's you that began posting Drumpf propaganda.

>>87630068
PKD also had a healthy fear of Russia, that may have helped. Lem contacted him and he thought it was a network of Soviet agents using a fake identity (IMO you can very readily see why PKD was the American whose work Lem was into).

>>87630110
>he thought it was a network of Soviet agents using a fake identity

The SFWA got so butthurt at his article on Dick that they removed his honorary SFWA membership.
