Hello, Storyteller.

>>89241070

Look at that patrician coffee-drinker

So the Lion Forge editor dude who went on that tear about Way, today's hit was "Why is it that the Latina GL is the fearful one, hmmm, why is that", ignoring the response he got about how much she means to a lot of people.

>>89241206
yes

>>89241070
USAvengers was okay, even if the thread ended up devolving into why the guy who's gimmick is "He's a future pirate" is a Trump parody.

>>89241070
Superman was good

Comixology dropped the solicits yesterday, and people have started peeking through them. Clean Room appears to be dead for now

Clean Room (2015-) #18
Season One of CLEAN ROOM finishes with a literal big bang as the walls of reality come crashing down!
Everything Astrid Mueller has tried to build is on fire, and she is nowhere to be seen, as the true monsters are revealed at last. A mind-bending climax to this acclaimed series’ first epic tale!

Simone was quick to tweet about it

JLvsSS was definitely better than the last issue. So was Batman.

>>89241172
It's weird, I found it kinda flat because what happens to The Ray w/ his powers is pretty extreme but the book and he are just kinda, it happens?

>>89241172
"Why'd they make him gay? I never gave a shit about this character until I heard they altered him a bit pretty much because nobody gave a shit about him, but now I am outraged! Fucking Tumblr!"

>>89241226
>Season One
>Season two
not exactly holding my breath for season two to actually materialize, just in case, but I'm glad she at least said as much

>>89241286
The fully-released-by-press solicitations are supposed to drop next week, but comixology already has them up (for DC at least). Unfollow also looks like it is ending

>>89241172
Byrne is shit and I refuse to read it because of him.

Phil Jimenez RT'd a bit about how Marvel is realizing that they need to make you like Captain Marvel again, and so I found out that there are people who *don't* think she needs to be rehabbed from CW2.

that's a quality side-eye, Madge

>>89241217
I'm interested in how their superhero universe is gonna go. Still not really clear on their publishing schedule, but 7 books launching across 7 months right? I wonder what they need to sell to be considered successful.

Will at least check out the first Priest issue.

>>89241301
>It's weird, I found it kinda flat because what happens to The Ray w/ his powers is pretty extreme but the book and he are just kinda, it happens?
I dunno, I'm actually kinda glad they didn't dwell on specifics. it was good character setup

Well, it looked fine to me

>>89241376
>and so I found out that there are people who *don't* think she needs to be rehabbed from CW2.
There's the fans of fascist killjoy Carol and then there's the fans of Carol who think she can literally do no wrong

>>89241226
>Superman was good
It was serviceable. Basically nothing really happened in it to move the story. And that's one of the biggest problems with Tomasi's Superman. But at least his pacing isn't Rucka bad.

>>89241435
Speaking of Rucka how lame is it that the FCBD issue is just a Rucka reprint

Like I guess it makes sense since WW is coming out this year but still, couldn't they pick something less dull

>>89241392
I've been a Holly fan since Brubaker's run, champ. That guy is the only reason she has fans. However, I was perfectly content for her to disappear because a character in limbo is better than a not muh, i.e. King's.

>>89241388
I already read it on here and it's a hell of a lot better than any of his Marvel work. Although I did actually like She Hulk

>>89241392
>Holly Robinson
>that other chick who was Catwoman for like five minutes
Pfft. Okay, I'll bite. Why are her "fans" pissed off?

>>89241476

>>89241474
So with Madge, there is no Clark Kent side to him. Which was a very deliberate choice, but a limiting one.

>>89241379
I found the last one a lot better as character set up. Like, this dude was locked in a fucking empty house for 15 years or something? He escaped and exploded and was insubstantial for X amount of time, years? He never saw his cruel mom or other family bar again, or anyone bar the guy he'd been crushing on for a decade?

That's not exactly conventional and I would've gone on board more if the fucked-up bits weren't drifted past. Maybe it's just cause I don't know the character well.

Speaking of, on a meta level I really enjoy the dumb pun of Ultimates referencing the New Universe and being the book exploring what the new MU means.

>>89241502
Well I'm glad you acknowledge that she had fans before today then. This is likely a sign that Brubaker's readers are a far more sophisticated bunch than the average capefan, who keep begging for their C and D listers to make appearances in books, even if the books are awful.

>>89241507
Yeah I can understand that, but it had a lot of ground to cover in 20 pages and I thought it covered the basics well enough

If they get elaborated on more in JLA that'd be nice

Don't forget that since Holly is female but not actually in the book it's REMOVING HER AGENCY and since she's a lesbian it's ANTI-LGBT

>>89241070
USAvengers had a post-Zero Day Avengers team of Hulkling, Black Knight, Faiza and Guillotine simultaneously stab Thanos to death in a splash page. Strong contender for panel of the year, three Wednesdays in.

Ewing needs to be given Gruenwald level oversight over Marvel continuity. They NEED it. He can right their crooked course. I believe in the him that can save comics.

And for a second, I forgot what thread I'm in.

In any case, it's just as well. When was the last time you saw a fantasy work that wasn't just a Tolkien knockoff? The fact that the term "standard fantasy setting" is a legit thing is pretty fucking depressing and emblematic of why fantasy comics in particular are dead as hell.

It's not that simple, old chum. Just because there's sorcerers doesn't make it high fantasy, especially if the sorcerers tend to take an antagonistic role.

>Carol Danvers might be the most high-profile female superhero in Marvel's comic book universe after the events of last year's Civil War II series, but the same can't be said of her position in the real world — at least, not yet. A new video series from Marvel aims to change that.

>The first installment of Captain Marvel: Alien Nation features Margaret Stohl, writer of the new The Mighty Captain Marvel series, and Sana Amanat, editor and director of content development at Marvel. They explain the backstory behind Carol Danvers and her power set, while also placing the character inside the wider comic book universe.

>The monthly video series is Marvel's second entry in its Spotlight Music franchise, following last year's launch of Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet. That latter series paired writer Ta-Nehisi Coates with a number of hip-hop acts for videos accompanying each issue of the critically acclaimed series; moving forward, Alien Nation will feature Stohl and music from, according to Marvel, "some of the world's biggest female-led musical acts."

I don't know, man, I just do it. If I'm working on a comic script I usually write down the bare basics of the story first and then draw the layouts (I *cannot* write a script without doing the layouts first, it's literally impossible for me). Anyway, after I'm done with that I start working on the script, adding the dialogue, panel descriptions, and all that shit. When it comes to set up I haven't worried too much about it yet since the scripts I'm making right now are pretty disposable, so who knows, I may have your same problem if I ever start to get serious hah.

No, that was Somerhalder

>>89244461
Shit, where are the trashy 80s cosplay porn ads for the NES Classic?

>>89244405
Yeah, I can definitely see the pros and cons to that but I legit enjoy writing so even if it's not a passion project I can still have a good time typing that shit down.

>>89244461
kek
Nintendo had the weirdest ads once upon a time, I swear

>>89244461
>Metroid 1
Erm, yeah... Word of advice, just play Zero Mission instead. The original did not age well.

He tried getting Hawkeye, but couldn't get the schedule to work

>>89244515
Another guy just did all of Johns era GL and finished the new 52 stuff recently, then he did New Frontier

I think a different anon said they'd do Venditti era GL and somebody else was going to do Gerard Jones

that first game was soooo haaaaarrrrd

>>89244547

man did every leading dude on CW do a try out arc on Smallville?

How on earth was there not a massive Somerhalder for Jason Todd campaign? guess I'll take small miracles

>>89244584

>Gerard Jones

that'll feel awkward

I don't think Padaleki did...but he was on Gilmore Girls so he bypasses it.

But it was so fun!

They would never let me, but I'd love to write a Viewtiful Joe comic.

The TV ads for that same campaign had some nice Goldfrapp tracks tho.

they just released a new collection of Emerald Dawn I and II and I'm on the fence about getting it because he just had to go and get arrested for being a pedo

successful save

>>89244595
There was a Somerhalder for Dick campaign sort of

He and Matt Bomer were the most popular choices

>>89244645

J'onn's best story is now gonna have to get thrown into the dust heap.

>>89244690

Yeah I can see it but I was thinking how good he is on Vampire Diaries as a villain/anti-hero.

>>89244593
>>89244610
Fuck Fire Leo. Viewtiful was a bastard, but still fun.

Seriously though, fuck Fire Leo. That he comes at the end of the boss rush doesn't help since you're already running ragged, and he'd be a bastard anyway if you weren't.... Fuck Fire Leo.

It should be Bomer, since he correctly ships Bruce/Dick

I really came to like Majestic when I first read this series. I'm really sad he never got any attention from the general comicbook reader population. He was a methodical Superman with a great mix of cold and calculating with compassionate. The series featuring his sorta girlfriend was also decent. Though one character I'd love to have a short several issue long special on is his daughter [/spoilers]. An immortal explorer with moderate superpowers she never ever uses in favor of having fun adventures and learning the secrets of the world. I could see it being fantastic with a decent writer.

>>89244584
Yep, this was the other guy:
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/85190450/#q85190450

He's hard to track down because he didn't use the title box. This guy got through blackest night, then just disappeared

Eh. It ain't like spoiler functions were always a thing.
Or am I not remembering right? I know spoiler IMAGES were at one point a new thing

LOL bob harras

thanks for reading, more Madge tomorrow

>>89241759
Madge actually gives a shit about the value of human life in general (the "little people"), even if he's also pretty hard on criminals.

That's a pretty rare quality, as fascists go, which does genuinely make at least a little bit of difference.

>>89244798
I used ctrl-s further up in this thread and still screwed it up

>>89244853
Thanks, OPium, it's been fun.

>>89244853
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

... Seven to Eternity is still a dumb name. Like, even if the book is good, motherfuckers need to work on nomenclature.

would've loved for a full Red Son length Mastermen story from Morrison

>>89244920
it's really not that bad

>>89244853
On the LOL Harras note, we gonna run Breach: The Captain Atom of Earth 8?

Thanks for running.
Liking this DnA Madge more than Casey's Madge so far. A bit less experimental, a bit more readable.

>>89244933
I want to ask Morrison how much of the Wagner stuff was deliberate in that issue, because it's pretty seeded through

>>89244939
not unless I get whisk(e)y

>>89240995
Who the fuck is majestic? Why does dc have what looks like another superman knockoff and more importantly is it good?

>>89244936
It sounds like an arthouse movie.

>>89245074

>>89244269
One (or maybe two) guy(s) have done the entire series setting (Hellboy, BPRD, Abe Sapien, etc), in chronological order, twice in the last year and a half or so. Took over a month, each time.

Someone else will probably do it again eventually.
