the more things change

I'm deeply amused by the CBR article about Seekrit Empire that kind of tries to blame everything on HYDRA and ends up being more about event fatigue. Also seen more pros increasingly openly saying "It's fine to think this story sucks but it's not Nazi propaganda, FFS"

>>91903400

Action comics re-instated most of Superman's Post-Crisis stories and characters...except 90's Superboy and Matrix. I'm not sure why Superman Red/Superman Blue is ok, but Kon-El isn't.

>>91903389
Hello, Storyteller.

Sorry, I gotta vent, because this never fails to piss me off. So you know how Texas Anon has his nigh daily Best of WW threads? Well today, near the end of it, some fucker comes in telling him to shut up as he's commenting on the comic, even threatening to start some shit unless he complied.

This motherfucker is actively discouraging discussion in a story time thread. And people wonder why storytimes have become less common. It's almost like posting page after page is really fucking tedious, and actually engaging other people in conversation might make people more inclined to do it. Fuckin' morons.

So how was your trip?

>>91903732
Even though I do like them together (even though their base relationship was formed on Star Sapphire magic), I kind of want Kyle and Sora to NOT get together if it will prevent that current villain of the week from existing (assuming it's their kid)

No. The only people who play TESO are people who never played a MMO before (aka every person who likes bad MMOs), Bethesdafags, and masochistic TESfags

I actually had the exact same theory. Feels good knowing it's not TOO out there.

Speaking of our favorite autist, is this panel a reference to when he first killed someone in Infinite Crisis and he's freaking out because he didn't mean to?

That's some nice artstyle

>Comics shipment arriving tomorrow

>>91904146
That's really what I'm getting at, the world is boring, shallow, and stale as fuck. There's nothing fun to do because in a MMO everything is preordained, there's no randomness, just a bunch of NPCs and mobs standing around ready to be interacted with. It's the very reason a TES MMO was such a bad idea, the very structure of an online RPG goes against everything the TES series is about.

So, TL;DR, no, you won't enjoy it if you like exploring shit and doing whatever.

>I'm extremely wary of Inhumans stuff now
Yeah but the mini is set in the past so it should be safe from the garbage discount x-men direction.

The bigger problem is Black Bolt which, even if it turns out good, I doubt Ward will be on for more than 5 issues and the replacement will probably maybe suck. Oh and the fact that it might crossover with the other Inhuman titles. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment because despite the fact that I really hated what they did with the property in the last few years I still gave Royals #1 a shot, and I disliked it.

It's 616 canon, but completely incongruous with everything ever because of the Image as hell tone and setting.

Doop goes on to continue being a meme. Several of the female characters end up in Hell for a later Doctor Strange miniseries.

I don't think anyone else is ever referenced again.

I get the feeling DC is looking very carefully at not putting out too much product, too. There was a good analysis of how Marvel's line expansion attempts have backfired because people go "i can't keep up with everything starring X so I won't read any of it"
