Hopefully I'll be able to post the complete issue tonight!

I've never read this this series before. Could anyone other than OP tell me how the series actually is? I see tha it's written by bendis so naturally I'm a bit skeptical

>>90142733
Its highs are pretty high and its lows are very low as well, mostly with regards to dialogue pages, etc.

>>90142936
one more question if u would be so kind, how does it stack up to bendis' other work?

>>90143074
It stacks up fairly well but it also checks a lot of the boxes for me so I may be a bit biased towards it.

It's so refreshing to see a powers police force that's not a group of complete fuckups. Got the same feeling as when the Hulkbuster armor managed to subdue the Hulk in Age of Ultron. I knew they were going to have a confrontation but I sure as hell didn't predict Tony winning.

I only just finished the first Dawn of Man arc. I was already mildly enjoying this series but now I'm hooked.

Thanks for still continuing this, OP.

As long as just one person is reading and enjoying, it's all worth it.

>>90144178
I think that's when two people post at the exact same time.

>>90142733
>Bendis was once a Maoist who championed the murderous ideology of Mao Zedong and the Khmer Rouge. We condemn Sim and Moore of their political sins, but Sim tried to prove he was not a hater after "Cerebus". And Moore insisted he loathed misogyny but had simply done as told. Maybe they were full of shit but at least they tried to publicly distance themselves from extreme politics.

>Not Bendis who espoused the most extreme, murderous, and destructive form of leftism. Comic bloggers, so outraged about long retired Sim and long irrelevant Moore, never demanded of Bendis to face up to his past sins. Unlike Ditko and Miller who candidly confessed their approval of, respectively, objectivism and fascism, Bendis has never ever apologized in general, or in specific to the countless victims of the tyrants he supported with all his heart.

>Bendis celebrated and championed Mao's total destruction of culture and intellectual life and the Khmer Rouge that transformed Cambodia overnight into a genocidal stone age Marxist state.

Fuck that piece of shit.

Almost every page this issue is a double page spread. Reminds me of the Avengers Vol. 4 issue where every page was a splash page. I'm glad Bendis scripts these slightly experimental issues in every major series he writes. In particular, I'd argue when Bendis decides to write a "silent" issue it forces him to be that much more at the top of his game.

I maintain that Deena would have been a terrible mother and this was honestly the best outcome that could have happened. Also she's just lucky she had a miscarriage and that fucker didn't erupt from her insides similar to what happend to Becky (The Boys)

No, you are hilarious. Because you're a joke. Seriously, how the fuck can ANYONE like Nemesis? It's one of the edgiest, stupidest comic books I've ever read.

>>90147459
Is that the best you can do? Is that the best Mark Millar fans can do? Holy shit, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you're a bunch of drooling retards since you enjoyed something like fucking Nemesis.

>>90147497
Don't know what to tell ya. Sorry you're incapable of enjoying it. I'm not going to say it's Shakespeare, but it's a ridcilous sarcastic reinvention of the master supercriminal facing off against the daring police officer. It's insane to the 9th degree with intricate plans that would have made Heath Ledger's plans in The Dark Knight look like best laid plans of preschoolers. McNiven keeps the comic progressing a brisk pace that never lingers for longer than a page or two in on a scene which just adds to the immediacey to the events.

>>90147573
Dude are you okay? You're attacking people on a fucking comics and cartoons board during a storytime for something said in a previous thread. What's going on buddy?

>>90147672
No. It was fucking stupid. You're a brainless idiot for liking it.

>I don't know this bendis dude,
We can certainly fix that. If you're looking for a good team book, Bendis may not be your best bet. He tends to do best when either writing his own properties or writing single characters. His work tends to suffer from "sameness" in dialog and in some works he's self indulgent to the point of obscenity, but he's a good idea man and can executive when suitably motivated.

Also it's a shame that we never got an adaptation of the Millennium Guard in the Powers TV show. It was almost certainly going to be featured in Season 3 but unfortunately the series was cancelled. Still won't stop me from enjoying it. It was unique to the say the least.

I'm really tempted to stop here because I know I won't finish tonight and that way I keep all the issues in Volume 5 together in one thread. If I were to do this I'd storytime at least a 4 issue series.....like Nemesis....
