Hello, Storyteller.
So about this whole Diana having a brother nonsense. Which is better to be this mysterious 'Jason', Jason Blood or Jason Todd?
No wrong answers of course, this entire long lost relative concept is fucking stupid to begin with, so let's at least go full on COMIC BOOKS with it.

>>
>>93346894
It's dumbfuck executives and/or cheapass Perlmutter.
They're convinced Marvel is a "premium" brand and making it the same price or less than the other brands makes it seem less important.
It's probably one of the single biggest problems with Marvel right now, they're trying to appeal to a broader market and get comics to more types of people, yet whoever is in charge of pricing and distribution won't let go of old business models.
>>
>>93346896
I would actually love the Argonauts to show up in WW because it's a huge pedigree of Greek heroes and there's loads of places you could take it. I mean, have they really not put Atalanta in a WW comic yet?

Oof. There's a terrifying thought.

Jason and the Argonauts were in Simone's Wondie. Which I think was the first attempt to do a "male Amazons" story when Zeus made the two groups live together on New Themyscira.
>>
>>93346868
Personally hoping for Feminist Jason Todd.
Blood/Etrigan would be cool as shit actually
Brb writing Etrigan and the Argonaunts
>>
>>93346894
I have not really understood anything Marvel has done for a while now. Like their biggest competitor isn't totally better, but at least there's some logic in the moves to some degree.
>>
>>93347020
>>93347018
It's underused! Let's all go read the Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes.
>>
>>93346868
Blood would definitely make no sense because he was born hundreds of years before Diana.
And Jason would definitely be too young, unless they've REALLY aged Diana down a lot.
Remember, it's supposedly her TWIN brother.

>>93347152
Hitch said he's starting his last JL arc with 33, but I guess that doesn't count since it hasn't actually happened yet

I think so. Also maybe Hitch is leaving JL? But there's writer changes and there's "writer changes and the style/remit of the book radically changes too"

Etrigan would hook up with Medea and kill the real Jason again in hell IMO.

I like Zarda. I mean, kinda hard for me not to when she's a well researched knock off of Diana.
>>93347018
I hate when people say there should be more and more Greek shit in WW, cause, I'm sorry, this is a SUPERHERO comic, not a fucking Greek myth fanfic. Unless you put a more superhero style spin on these concepts, they can fuck right off.
>>
>>93347175
Seems like it's just a favor to get Johns' storyline done rather than something he has specifically planned himself. And last time this happened (New Krypton) I didn't hate it until the end.
>>
>>93347211
Also some normie with a shitpile of followers on Twitter found out about Dogwelder today, called him a villain, and got a million ACTUALLY responses
it was fine
>>93347225
someone needs to do an NSM with it and actually research some Classical thought and work THAT into superheroing
>>
>>93347087
You have a conflict between your classic old dumb executives, the people who are still in the 2000-2010 mentality like Alonso, Brevoort and Quesada, and people who genuinely want to be progressive in both a cultural sense and a product sense where they have lines to appeal to kids and young adults.
At DC, Didio and Johns are REALLY GOOD at managing the relationship between editorial and executives. They're great at appeasing the suits without sacrificing their creative visions. I honestly doubt anyone at Marvel has the balls to stand up to asshole execs, and maybe rightfully because from everything I've heard the execs over there are far less forgiving.
>>
>>93347225
The Argonauts basically are Greek superheroes. And like the fun fuck-up kind of superhero too.
>>
>>93347175
>>93347211
This really seems like a random stop-gap until they get someone else to do a longer run.
I've seen some people think that he is only doing it because it looks like an editorially influences "someone HAS to follow up on this brother thing" situation.
>>
>>93347225

after all, the Four Elements theory is in Aristotle, plus the aether. Throw in temperament theory too for the lulz
>>
>>93347261
It's not like he's just some guy DC could easily call upon though. So there was probably some serious discussion involved: maybe he's getting something else down the line for this, a testing the waters kinda thing.
>>
>>93347239
>some normie with a shitpile of followers on Twitter found out about Dogwelder today
Probably from some clickbait shit hole that lives off ad revenue from garbage like " TOP 10 CHARACTERS DC DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT" videos
>>
>>93347304
Yeah, I totally get "We need a fill-in and we want to address this topic", but then you draft a house writer who's been on call and is known for easy writing to spec, which is not really what I'd call Robinson on either front wrt DC
>>
>>93347225
>I hate when people say there should be more and more Greek shit in WW, cause, I'm sorry, this is a SUPERHERO comic, not a fucking Greek myth fanfic. Unless you put a more superhero style spin on these concepts, they can fuck right off.
I see you point, but c'mon, man, The Argonauts were the original super-team. They've got like, 2500 years on the Justice Sociey.

>>93347211
>I can't say it's setting me on fire except the combination is really curious. Like, THIS is Robinson coming back to DC? Why this?
Yeah, Robinson coming back to do a short stint on WW to handle some loose end plots seems a little weird

I wonder if he is just getting tired of Marvel's editorial, or the lack thereof. I remember reading on /co/ (so of course it could have been BS) that he pitched the Scarlet Witch series because she was in the movies, and that the editorial board had not considered running a book to capitalize on that.
>>
>>93347333
Robinson JSA?
That'd be one hell of an apology tour
>>
>>93347277
That kinda disallows horse skulled alien cyborgs with Simonson-brand smartships, tho.
>>
>>93347360
I considered it, but I thought he didn't want to be typecast as the "reviving old ass properties" guy
then again he's never really had a proper JSA run has he? he's only really done the first few issues that preceded Geoff/Goyer

I am so there for that although I'm really unsure about the tone from the solicit
>>93347399
He did all the setup and then bailed because he was incredibly burned out by the end of Starman--same thing with the Hawkman revival, that was his foundation.
And it might be enough of a passion project, and the sense of getting to do it right without Eddie Berganza fucking it up THIS time. It's a guess, but it'd fit a theme.

>Those toy limbs
I choose to disregard He-Man and count this as another DC homage.
>>
>>93347743
I think because for various reasons the cultural popularity weight has been strongly on the DC side as opposed to individual Avengers, so there's no real point
But also for whatever reason, no one did anything as striking with them as Gru did here
>>
>>93347665
Eh, it makes perfect sense considering who they're supposed to be knockoffs of.
>>93347643
It's also just plain fucked how Marvel managed to get a better handle on the characters of their direct competitor than some of DC's own writers at times. Then again, this is written by Grundelwald, a writer notable for being dedicated to giving a shit.

But that didn't stop JMS' Supreme Power, or the Secret Wars 2017 miniseries, or the Robinson stealth mini.
>>
>>93347743
because X-Men are Marvel's important team
>>
>>93347842
I mean, on the DC side with their Avengers knockoffs, no one ever managed to write anything with them that makes you sit down and take notice. Marvel has had good fun with various Hyperions.

Speaking of sitting down and taking notice

Has Bendis ever actually delivered a satisfying in and of itself, sit back and smoke a cigarette in bed kind of story arc?
>>
>>93347743
Because when Giffen and Dematteis did their spin on this, the "Avengers" were from a dead world, one of them died of cancer, and they ended up overshadowed by their villains.
>>
>>93347871
Yeah, but that's because no one has tried. Granted, their Avengers knockoffs were pretty fucking shit, I mean, really? Blue Jay? Wandjina? JOHNNY B. QUICK?? Holy fuck.
>>
>>93347743
They never really got a definitive version like the Squadron did, and their 70's version hadn't really caught on in the first place.
Like >>93347790
said, the DC archetypes are incredibly iconic and ingrained in comicsdom, but the appeal of Marvel characters was that they didn't fit into those moulds and weren't as rchetypal.
But now with the movies making them iconic, we're probably in prime territory to do something great with them.

That's actually true, the first Angor mini ever made was called Lord Havok and the Extremists (by Frank fucking Tieri of all people, but that's besides the point), and that recent JLA arc was all about the Extremists as well.

I actually had a couple of ideas for the not-Avengers (Retaliators now).
One of them was a PG-13 equivalent of JMS' Supreme Power, an "Ultimizing" of these characters.

>>93347991
>Mera was IIRC out of comics for a really long time
It's kinda funny how she had been absent for so long, but once she came back, she exploded in popularity, and more or less became the secondary protagonist of the Aquaman books, taking up almost equal importance.
What's even better, is that absolutely no one seems to have a problem with that. I've even seen some suggest that Arthur take a break and focus on running Atlantis, while Mera take over the superheroing.
Not half bad for a character best described as "Aquaman's terrifying wife".

Is.. is this MAXIMUM COMIC BOOKS?
Also, between Foxfire and Frenzy, I guess somebody at Marvel was a fan of Grace Jones in the 80s.

Thor/Hyperion was by far the best thing in Hickmanvengers

Hey, what's the point of being Superman if you ain't gonna Superdickery.

>>93348694
Why is no one saying Mon El!!
>>93348840
Dazzler's original look was basically just Grace Jones. There's JRJR concept sketches online
>>
>>93348842
The moment when Thorr's hammer stops working for Thor is an all time great comic moment that's lost in all the Hickmanvengers stuff

>>93348805
And one of them saying "That is the most evil thing I've ever heard" and trying to recruit him.

>>93348750
The more of this we read, the more I can't avoid thinking this is a waaaay better "evil Superman" story than anything DC itself has put out lately. This works because not-Clark still retains his normal personality, still has the basic demeanor of the person we're familiar with.
>>
>>93348929
>>93348943
It's fascinating to dig into it this late in our reading careers because we've read so much that clearly stemmed from this
>>
>>93348888
The only time Mon counts was when he was basically retconned into Superman by Glorith or the Time Trapper or whatever the fuck that was
>>
>>93348943
That's because he's not evil, just misguided, which is how most "hero breaks bad" stories should be done, unless the "hero" in question was always a loose cannon.

He's drawn Mon-El before?

>>93348943
Reminder that Hyperion was evil Superman to begin with, but they later did more with the characters than just have them beat up.
I think it was mostly because of Nighthawk, and his presence in Defenders? But I might have that a bit backwards.
Later evil/totalitarian Hyperions aren't as good, but I do have a softspot for just how much of a cackling lunatic King Hyperion is.

I hope the artist can get more work done with a good colourist at least now that Wasp is dead.

>>93349083
The Squadron Sinister isn't the Squadron Supreme.
>>
>>93349088
>>93349083
Moonstone's "He's full of )&*(#()*$" about that one Hyperion was so good
>>
>>93349094
I think she is back on an Image title.
>>
>>93349094
Maybe she'd come back to DC. Supergirl could use her.
>>
>>93349113
True enough, but Sinister came first.
>>
>>93349088
I remember guy from Mindless Ones called this "nominal predestination"
>>
>>93349114
Is Wasp confirmed dead or just not in solicits?
Also so that's Spartan on the cover of Wild Storm, right?
>>
>>93348370
>>93348393
Some of the Squadron are so flawed in a very believable non-edgy way.
>>
>>93349083
>Reminder that Hyperion was evil Superman to begin with, but they later did more with the characters than just have them beat up.
You're confusing your Hyperions.
Hyperion of the Squadron Sinister is evil. He's a copy of the Hyperion we're reading about, who has always been a hero barring mindcontrol episodes.
>>
>>93349088
Roy G Bivalo is the GOAT and Champion
>>
>>93349166
What about King Hyperion? He was naturally evil, which is defo a bit confusing. Then again Mary Jane Watson is a lesbian is a world ravaged by the Legacy virus for some reason, so who knows how the Marvel multiverse even works.
>>
>>93349160
>>93349185
That is certainly hard to top, but I have a soft spot for Edward Nygma.
>>
>>93349160
>just not in solicits?
It's the same Quantum state that Occupy Avengers, Kingpin, and Elektra are in where they don't appear for the month, but no one says they are cancelled.
Ultimates also did not appear, but that might just have the month off.
>>
>>93349211
Ultimates is getting/just got renumbered, no way it's canned
>>
>>93349166
I'm talking REAL WORLD, son.
Hyperion was created so Thor could beat up Superman, then they used that to let them do Marvel Presents: Superman Stories, featuring Marvel Heroes fixing his messes.

Why is God Country getting so much rave reviews? Even anons here were shilling it as one of the best Image books now. I read all 5 issues and sixth comes out tomorrow but holy hell it's a giant pile of generic and most predictable mediocrity. Are all Donny Cates books like this?

Eh. A Speedster with a gun is kind of dumb, because any speedster worth a damn is already at least faster than a bullet. It only sort of works here because of the Squadron's Anti-Gun practices the last few issues.

i also love how you have to be pretty well read in comics for the thing to hit too. Or really even make sense. It's very "You can only do it in this medium in this genre" and i love that shit

Aesthetically the book is very pleasing and art is great when it's depicting the fantasy or action aspects but some of the composition I don't agree with. Story is garbage though. If you've read enough comics or watched enough movies you are like twenty panels ahead of this book at all times.

That's a great panel with Hyperion making sure he speaks to Tom from an even level--super character touch.

Considering what happened with Overmind, you'd think that the Squadron would be more against brainwashing.

It's an Eternal thing. They have an inborn sense of outrageous fashion.

Unrelated to God Country (I'm waiting for 6 to read it), but what are you guys reading?
I read Azzarello's Aftershock book "American Monster," and it was pretty much every Azzarello trope distilled into six issues. It wasn't very good, and contains underage tits, so no storytiming that thing.

>>93349639

Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
So far so good. Grundelwald's writing style really hits that old school sincerity that works despite being a little stilted sounding. Kind of a shame he never wrote for the real JL.
And again, this is like, the only time I've seen where the "superheroes take over the world" thing isn't edgy bullshit. The Squadron still act like people, and not obnoxious caricatures.

>>93349846
Definitely not an Injustice situation.

I'm not reading a single Image book currently that I would say is really good or flawless. Currently reading East of West, Deadly Class, Seven To Eternity and few others. Image is so fucking mediocre as a whole.
>>

>And again, this is like, the only time I've seen where the "superheroes take over the world" thing isn't edgy bullshit. The Squadron still act like people, and not obnoxious caricatures.
What about Miracleman book 3?
>>
>>93350281
Not him, but I used to go through their solicits every month but it's just so samey. I think I Hate Fairyland was the last one that kind of looked a bit different but not my thing.I know this is dumb because I read tons of capeshit anyway despite it all being somewhat similar. Maybe just emotional investment fueling that.
>>
>>93350281
>>93350398
Plebs who constantly praise plebshit while shitting on original ideas because they're bitter losers who will never make it to the comic book industry. Nothing new to see here.
>>
>>93350398
Nah, there's a difference.
Capeshit sells you on characters that have been around forever and their broad shared universe.
The last time I checked Image solicits, it was basically "Generic Sci-fi pitch" for every other book's description, with little there to give you a reason to care.
>>
>>93350445
no, capeshit is mcdonalds. you know the low quality but enjoyable food you're gonna get going in.
>>
>>93349506
To be fair this is mostly just Whizzer freaking out because his family is in danger.
>>
>>93350488
The other problem with original books is that you have to quickly do the groundwork to hook someone into the setting as well as the characters, and most people are not very good at that. So much work has been done in a Big Two capesetting already, both for the writer and the reader.
>>
>>93349701
>what are you guys reading?
Picked up the second volume of She Wolf from Image and didn't care for it, he would've been better off leaving it at one volume. Still excited for his new series since he's 2 for 3.
Other than that read the new 2000AD collection of The Last American and loved it

Last book I truly enjoyed was After Death. It has ideas unique to this medium and explored it very creatively. First time I felt like I wasn't reading schlock and gave a shit in a long time.

Yawn. Tell me when they start publishing actual indie comics.
>>
>>93350844
Can't believe it was from Snyder of all people.
>>93350873
There's tons of companies for that: Fanta, D&Q, First Second, etc.
>>
>>93350955
Image is a schlock company, but like Dark Horse they happen to put out a lot of the best.
>>
>>93350955
>Can't believe it was from Snyder of all people.
His indie work though far and few between has always been solid. More solid I'd say than a lot of really popular writers.
>>
>>93350955
>There's tons of companies for that: Fanta, D&Q, First Second, etc.
Yeah I know. I just think what Image shits out isn't actually indie or avant grade. It's very much mainstream and schlocky.
>>
>>93351192
After reading the first issue of The Unsounded I feel the same about Cullen Bunn. Everything outside of the Big 2 I've read from him has been solid, I thought he was just a guy who wrote a lot of awful Deadpool minis a year ago or so.
>>
>>93351224
>isn't actually indie or avant grade
It's an independent company not an alternative one.
>>
>>93351286
I think I've yet to read a single thing from Bunn.
>>
>>93351328
Oh I do know the distinction, most people don't though. People pretend that Image books are true indie works whereas it's equivalent of big or moderately successful Hollywood writer directing an original mainstream film with enough budget.
>>
>>93351356
Give Harrow County a shot if you're interested, it's been my favorite ongoing since I read the first trade.

RE: Image, actually I forgot about Redneck. I might get into it.
But yeah overall not really digging much from them.
>>
>>93351478
I will.
>>93351540
Is Redneck a mini?

Not positive but I think it's an ongoing. Solicits don't have the (x of y) in them at least.

My LCS is selling it for $2.99 because they care more about customers buying Marvel than apparently Marvel does, so they're willing to eat short-term loss in the hope of long-term better sales.

Do you go to Ryan Higgins' LCS or are there multiple shops doing this?
>>
>>93352362
Yeah, I'm one of the California anons. (Hence just catching up on the thread now.)
>>
>>93350608
It's not a meme, it's an anecdote.
I haven't checked Image solicits in like, 6 months, at least, because I genuinely don't care enough to check solicits anymore for the most part. And that goes for every company.
