The first bit of Wonder Woman box office is in, and the results are promising. To wit, the film opened in Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Indonesia starting on Tuesday (taking advantage of the Chinese Dragon Boat Holidays) and the two-day total is now $6.3 million.

Also glad dc is releasing so old material in digital form.

Well for one it's a superhero movie where *gasp* the character development doesn't end for the main character as soon as they put on the costume.

>>92897637
I'm surprised we don't get ANY kind of costume update for the Hawks
I could actually go for a minor Rebirth costume update

Hello, Storyteller.

>>92897517
Yep. One way or another, we must prepare for the next wave of shitposting.

Also, I'd like to give a special shout out to The Saxet Anon. Fuck you for story timing Amazons Attack. You jerk.

yeah when the costs start adding up like that it becomes less worthwhile especially if you're not crazy about it anyway

Isn't that the Phoglio's porn comic? I really should catch up on Girl Genius sometime.

Phoglio's art is... odd, I guess is the word. I like it, not terribly sure if I'd jerk to it. All the bits of fanservice in Girl Genius are more funny than sexy because of how strongly stylized the art is.

Well, he's a multiple award winner, so he's got some degree of appreciable talent... here's hoping it translates which is a major tripping up place.

Anyone take the time to track down any of his horror?

>>92905792
Relatedly, what do people think of Rainbow Rowell on Runaways? I saw a surprisingly caustic reaction which surprised me because that's kind of a big name (I know her and I don't read anything like her stuff) and also from what I do know her shit basically *is* Runaways, it's on-brand.

The hate I saw wasn't about her being (another) novel writer which I could get - more about her treatment of Asian characters?

>>92905792
Nope. Guess I might throw down for some if it's ebook format.
