I mean, I didn't even read WWEO, but the people out there hating on volume 2 are so angry about it it kind of makes me glad it's happening?

>>94023166
Yeah it feels really front-loaded. Also weird not be joining in. I'm assuming America is getting added to the pile though. Last issue legitimately made me want to read Gabby Rivera's prose book.

>He’s announcing a new Wonder Woman: Earth One graphic novel with artist Yanick Paquette, which he compares to Empire Strikes Back. Morrison says that Diana will face her greatest challenge in the book, and that his Wonder Woman: Earth One books will be a trilogy.

>Oh, and there will be Nazi punching…

>And also a sequel to Arkham Asylum, with Chris Burnham on art, at 120 pages. Morrison compares it to Luc Beson, and says it will be all-encompassing, and set in the world of Batman #666.

Worlds End was the one storytime time today that caught me off guard and actually made me mad

>>94023117

Arkham Asylum 2 is like the most blatant and shameless thing since Civil War 2.

>>94023243
Wait, people are already hating on it? Even I admit the first was disappointing but there was a shit ton to build off of.

>>94023243
what's the salt about? they hated the first one and it doesn't deserve a sequel, or DC should have told Morrison to fuck off and given it to a female writer?

>>94023264
I do hope they give Flash a new writer soon

I am very interested in GLEO

>>94023243
I feel like people just remember being mad about it and not anything about the book. There was actually some pretty legit discussion around it.

To me it just sounds like a nice follow=up to Morrisons Batman run and there's no reason to be mad about that.

Calling it Arkham Asylum 2 seem retarded though, I hope that's just a WiP name.
And the actual book is called Arkham City

>>94023300

Oh god and I read the rest of her comments on EO. The thing she's mad at (DC "taking away" Earth One from Rucka) isn't even correct. Rucka was doing YEAR One, he was never doing an Earth One.

Like, sure, get mad that he didn't get to do Year One, even though we know literally nothing about that story other than that it was planned at one time and then Rucka left. But Morrison has literally nothing in any way whatsoever to do with this situation. All you're complaining about is that more high profile Wonder Woman projects are coming out.

I thought I was done being baffled by Twitter silliness today.

>>94023626
Actually I wonder if it's not teams he's bad at, it's just traditional capes, because stuff like Animal Man, Green Arrow and Black Hammer are the things of his I've read and liked.

It feels like everyone in the comic talks in cool story, bro class chunks of pre-written speeches

>>94024280
The panel itself would work fine wordless. As >>94024202 says the art deserves better.

The trailer for his new movie came out today, with Will Smith and all.

Looks about as alright as Green Valley,

>>94024302
I would not be adverse to that, actually
pls do not kill

Anyone saw that thing about Tom King today?

To paraphrase:
>Working with Joelle Jones is like working with the next Frank Miller.
... Um, in what regard, exactly?

>>94024342
Probably action within utilitarian/stylized composition

>>94024318
She did not transition from prose writing to comics writing well.

>>94024342
I don't know, but if it gets people to look into her shit I can't hate. She's bretty gud.

A shame DC keeps putting her on shit I don't care to read.

>>94024339
I hated Green Valley, Dave.

>>94024387
The only thing I disliked about it was that the dialogue was once again the blandest shit.

The intent of the dialogue and the overall story format, ie. a "Fright Night" mold, I really dug.

Come at me.

>>94024302
Oh shit Landis is a person who exists. I's he at SDCC? They might discuss Agent of Batman

>>94024342
I like Joelle Jones a whole lot but that is a marketing tweet senpai.

>>94024342
She can both write and draw? Does her art have noir sensibilities or rapid paneling about it?

>>94024372
That seems to be common even among people who've never done anything but comics.

Not many understand how important it is to work REALLY closely with the artist. Or at least to give the artist freedom to rearrange or cut what doesn't work.

The writer does the screenplay, the artist is the cinematographer, but if one or both of you don't step up to be the director, there won't be any cohesion between the art and words.

When it's colored I don't think you see it so much but in B&W, sure.

>>94024302
I honestly can't decide if that would suck or not. Landis has always been perhaps too radical for his own good, but is that a bad thing for L.E.G.I.O.N? I dunno.

>>94024444
Just saying, these days ol Franky boy has a permanent asterisk attached to his name. It might help to clarify your statements referencing him when marketing.

L.E.G.I.O.N. should, IMO, be a book that pushes it but it has to be funny

>>94024553
It would suck: he doesn't put in the payoff for his self-satisfying characters and his shit is more boring than it ought to be, which is death for L.E.G.I.O.N. He didn't even get Lobo right in his AA series IMO.

Yeah, tonally, the series is almost literally "fuck da police", but that can easily go way too far if not handled well. I don't know if Landis has the ability to restrain himself.

It also dealt in real cold hard moral ambiguity. Vril kills the drug lord; LEGION brings peace but with what methods, all of that. There's some serious issues raised but not in a "look at us we're so socially engaged" kind of way.

Orlando had this whole spiel about how his JLA is about inspiring people to find their own solutions and working with them instead of imposing from above. L.E.G.I.O.N. should be all "lol" about that kind of idealism, and yet some members will yearn for it.

I mean, part of the fun of LEGION is that there are genuinely good, idealistic people who get shanghaied into Vril's shit.

LEGION works because there are so many conflicting POVs and no one's pegged as "the one you have to identify with". Sometimes we all want to be Vril, sometimes we all want to kill him.

Also adding to the difficulty is that he has to be written as incredibly clever but not in an off-putting sheer asspull kind of way.

Priest could do it

>Marie Javins, the group editor, called and said “Deathstroke” to me, and it stopped me in the tracks for a minute. It took me a minute to remember who he was. [Laughs] And then I asked: “He’s that guy from ‘Teen Titans,’ the guy with the sword, right?” “Yeah, that’s him.” “OK, alright. Is he Black?” She said no. I said, “OK, keep talking.” Frankly, the idea intrigued me to write a villain. I really hadn’t written a villain as the major protagonist of a series before. I thought this could be an interesting challenge for me. I gave it some thought, and I called her back: “If I can write it this way — in a character-driven, introspective way, and get inside the character and examine him kind of the way we did ‘Black Panther’ — that would be a really interesting challenge. If it’s just going to be him running around killing people, that’s a little less appealing.”

I've figured out why I think the Jessica Cruz Bombshell sucks. She doesn't have the eye tattoo.

Also I don't think the cop look works

HNNG

One of my biggest issues with EO was that I don't think it delivered on the visual panache it promised or shot for. And I think that also lead to people finding it boring.

That right there coupled with the baseball page are what there should have been more of. They got the imagery of Amazonia right but there was no dynamism with how man's world looked.

So I think that's a really good first step to making a WW OGN that resonates with people more.

>>94025120
>>94025150
He went back and read Judas Contract and his solo, he talked about discovering that he was just a total douche and loved it.

>>94025082
See, I doubt that because from Deathstroke I get the feeling he wants to do stuff with characters that aren't iconic and have untapped potential. Why he wanted to work with that new Power Girl, etc and probably why he's doing an Inhumans book of all things.

LEGION might seem up his alley in that regard but I think he'd be put off by the relatively large amount of stuff there is to read.
