>>88895108
Today felt like a good day? The new Nova is great. Shade and Middy were good. USAvengers was good. The Rebirth for Atom was good.

I saw you pushing the new Captain Atom like a drug earlier. Any big thoughts you wanna share on it?

>>88895108
Shade
That's about it

JLvSS went from bearable to terrible with the latest issue

the funny thing is, I think any attempt to just re-do Giffen/JMD JLI is doomed, and some views of it as perfect comics are pretty rose-tinted

New Nova looks like it might really scratch an itch

Shade is interesting but it's meandering enough I want to read it all at once and it'll make more of an impact, there's not as much forward push as I like for reading shit as a monthly, if that makes any sense?

>>88895135

ehhh lots of setting pieces up for the finale, making me care about Eclipso is a big challenge.

i wanna bug williamson about emerald empress and the fatal five being dirty dozen rip offs.

USAvengers and Midnighter/Apollo were both fantastic. I really enjoyed Batman.

i've still got like half my list to read.

>>88895207
What really got me about Nova is how it just nails the dynamic between Rich and Sam so quickly. If you have a relationship like that written well you can play it out for miles. Makes me miss good team-ups and the good romantic/family duos Marvel sometimes had too.

and it was quite something to watch Spencer take it from all sides today, although he really did deserve at least some of it, and Khouri make a somewhat defensive comment and then a pretty savage burn on a dude related to it

My other deepest desire is for all the Captain Atom stuff to go down and then somehow Eiling pop up in a Prieststroke plot

>>88895180
I said in the thread but it feels very like the first crop of Rebirth issues. It's getting the ducks in a row and leaving a hook but not much else.

>>88895218
I thought this most recent Midnighter/Apollo issue felt very Authority.

It's deeply cute but there's so much you can do with it, exactly

And the Cosmic Shit and the door's wide open for Robbie and Vance and everyone

BTW this is Gavril, and he will be your favorite character now

>>88895108
Flintstones continues to be one of the best comics out there, Nova was surprisingly fun, and even Death of Hawkman is good. I'm enjoying that, title aside, it's trying to tell its own story, instead of being "the story where Hawkman dies".

Oh, and that Captain Atomic book by those literally who's came out, but it looks like crap so I didn't bother reading it.

>>88895207
I totally understand, I can't wait to read it at once when it releases in trade format. I wouldn't call it slow paced, but it is certainly slow moving compared to other arcs this year

There's a lot of things packed into it but I don't end an issue just dying to know what happens next, that's the forward push thing. But it's also not an action book (like Cave Carson is) and that's fine too

Max, you fuck, you know what's coming

my main thought on what of Wasp I looked at was "this colorist is not as good as who did Starfire and it shows", but whoever pitched it as Science Longshot makes me think I'll download it

>>88895283

I found it funny because I saw people shitposting about how he never got shit from Tumblr/left side on /co/ a few days ago.

I didn't read the issue but saw a panel with "to the extreme!!" And was confused people took it straight faced

>>88895283
>and it was quite something to watch Spencer take it from all sides today, although he really did deserve at least some of it,
I'd feel bad for him, but it's not like the guy doesn't bring it on himself as is.

Science Longshot and Fashion Detective Jan

>>88895207
>>88895404
A lot of the original Shade was meandering, just issues of people talking at each other. The one issue where Shade is dead and can't control his form so keeps taking on the shape of objects and finds out Kathy and Lenny are having an affair behind his back when he's the bedsheets. Girl Shade is clearly ramping up the tension at the moment but given the new book is of good quality I'm fine with it taking its time.

>>88895703
Well, it's Whitley and it took a little bit of time in-issue to confirm everyone loves Harry Potter, so.

Nadia definitely has character similarities to Longshot. She's super inexperienced with the world and super interested in everything new: isolation since childhood, but a scientific prodigy instead of the harshness and edginess of Black Widow. And she is interested in everyone she meets: the donut seller, the immigration officer, the scientists. But the book itself takes that "rep for lady scientists" as its motto.

Ah, IDK. I don't know if I dislike it for anything I can actually argue out or if I'm just tired of this tone of book. It's inoffensive and it is actual teens instead of adult women.

>>88895817
>"I died, then I came back."

Despite the meme of comic book death, I'm genuinely curious how many comic book ressurections have occured, that didn't retcon the fact that they actually died.

>>88895382
I really wonder what Russell is going to do after Flintstones.

>>88895659

Hey Op.

Still trying to catch up on new comics.
USAvengers already GOAT for unleashing Richard Nixon's Flying Volcana Lair on page fucking 2. TWO!

Marvel needs a shakeup, bad. One that ends with Ewing pushed as the face of the company.

New Flintstones was probably the weakest issue so far. Not wholly sure why. Leonardi not fitting as well with Russell maybe? Anyone, I'm sure you'll appreciate a bit of ho yay, right?

>“Past Imperfect” part 2! An overload in the quantum field forced Nathaniel Adam back to the 1990s, leaving him stranded. With no powers and no clear way to get home, he wonders how his presence in the past might affect his future. But if he gets his wish…will that future include Captain Atom?

>March
>“Back to the Future” part three! Transported to the present day against his will, Nathaniel Adam struggles to move on from the shattered life he left behind. But General Eiling and the U.S. government have other plans for him—two words: Operation Resurgence.

The cover for the 3rd one has him weeping over the grave of a Tahara Sato. Unless that's not Nate.

right, it's just an interesting question to wonder "is he in a 1994 unique to this book, or is he in the DCU as it was in our 1994, or..."

>>88896265
Also she's kinda Nightshade-y, right? Background-wise and is a bit hesitant to push if she's got the space, 100% will push if she has to. And the OG Captain Atom had a villain called Fiery Icer, so they can clearly hit it off beating up that guy for copyright infringement. And Guy would be really mad.

It's sad that the fact that his kids would need to keep being older and older means they got to show up less and less.

Kind of sad, because that's a power that has some interesting implications.
Like, could Nate save those two japanese Nuclear Power Plant workers that died from exposure to radiation? Or at least make their last hours a bit less paiful? Could he protect Superman from the effects of Kryptonite? Can he project that radiation and use it to say, give somebody a controlled and relatively painless chemotherapy?

More Than Meets The Eye is great. Robots in Disguise is pretty decent. Volume 1 of The Transformers is terrible, with a few decent patches. All Hail Megatron ranged from bad to some good spots. Last Stand of the Wreckers was pretty great. Most of the old Cybertron miniseries were pretty good.

Just been reading the idw series as a whole rather than a comic here or there the last week or so. It's been pretty great, overall, as franchises go.

Man, I wish I'd seen there was a bundle. I saw some pages from a Transformers comic about one of the robots who frequently rewrote his own memory and it looked about 10000x better than I would have expected a Transformers comic to be.

>Oh shit, does anyone have that page from I think Chaos War wherein USAgent sasses back at the Greek gods by calling Spidey god of quips? I need it.
Not that you care by now, but it's not actually FROM Chaos War, it's from Incredible Hercules.

And yet Animal Man's kids never age. Always kinda bugged me could have at least bumped them up to teenagers for 52.
