Hello, Storyteller.

I think it's almost cute that Hitch wants to do a Squadron Supreme/Monarch thing. Almost.

Turns out Shane Davis wasn't a complete hack and wrote a nice newcomer's guide to Orion.

Hitch gave Barry's Wally's daughter who grows up to be a Flash and I'm so mad though no one pays attention to JL so it'll probably be fine?

Davis simply took the various elements of Orion that Kirby had introduced and then put them all together for one issue with some really well done bombastic dialogue.

I label my storytimes so people know where to hang out

>>94363951
Was gonna comment on that. It just blows my mind how little self-awareness you'd have to possess to think Cap being political is some kind of brand new thing.

Lots of back-pedaling from those people, "yeah well that doesn't count" or "it's different now!", especially "well those comics didn't chastise you for not agreeing with them", as if the current ones somehow were.

Also I haven't read it yet but apparently the new Green Arrow issue is about Lex Luthor and Trump, surprised I haven't seen a big uproar about it.

>>94363999
The art was too bland for something cosmic like The New Gods, Davis is just a serviceable cape artist.

>>94364175

Hello storyteller. So last 2 issues of Superman were weird to I say the least. Ireally don't know what Tomasi wants to achieve with all the flag waving in Superman comic, don't understand where he got the idea that people actually want to see this stuff in a Superman comic. Are there really a lot of people who want Superman to be a mascot of America anymore and want him to represent American exceptionalism? I don't know, it just seems like book is trying to invite criticism on a lot of levels.

>>94363421

>>94364152

I am not into a lot of current Marvel but a good half of that is "whatever, fine, this just isn't for me and that's great because it's clearly for someone else", and the other half is craft/execution that you can't talk about on Twitter without 2/45 tags on it

>>94364380
Don't think so. Also it disappoints me that President Luthor never amounted to much. It was under hack editorial that just threw out the idea and then not a single talented writer said "wow that's a really good concept, let me do something interesting with that."

>>94364407
But I HAVE to bitch about stuff I don't like, because I never actually read comics. I just take various panels out of context so I can make threads whining about how the SJWs are taking away my comics that I don't read.

>>94364380
I don't think he was in the New 52, but who knows what's canon after Superman Reborn.

>>94364380
With Lex being sort of a hero right now I don't think they really folded in old stuff with him even with Reborn.

>>94364275
It's mainly just a 4th of July special, I think. But I don't think it's really about exceptionalism in particular, just that "truth, justice and the American way" will ALWAYS be an inextricable part of Superman, so instead of just downplaying the American part they want to show that by "American" he's referring to a set of values that has nothing to do with politics or the American government, but rather just the idea of optimism and love for your fellow man.

Like Captain America, you're never going to separate Supes from the concept of the USA, so it's better to just own that aspect of it.

Reminder that Lex Luthor had an awesome cabinet

>General Frank Rock, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
>Amanda Waller, Secretary of Meta Human Affairs
>Jefferson Pierce, Secretary of Education
>Samuel Lane, Secretary of Defense
>Cat Grant, Press Secretary

>I'm not reading it, but that is kind of weird. I have to say, too, that the most interesting commentary on SE/HydraCap has come from conversations with Germans, who are so not invested in ~*~STEVE~*~ as this pure ideal, unlike many US readers.
Yeah, these characters have a universality to them now more so than ever. In Civil War movie, the act of Steve giving up his shield, the symbol of America in so many ways, says so much to audiences internationally. It's like that American mascot just doesn't not want to represent those outdated ideologies. For Tomasi to then preach about the American way in Superman just seems very dumbfounded when we contextualize what the social state currently is and how these characters represent so much more.

>>94364572
>2) in the specific, I regret expending sigil magic on Thunderbolts so fucking much

>>94364606
You know, yes, you are absolutely onto something there and let's try to unpack it. I think there's this conflation of the 'female audience' with the 'young adult/all-ages audience' that's probably not unconnected to that happening in book publishing, too--everyone I know of who says "I only/mainly read YA" is female, it's a huge female market, etc. But it leaves those of us who don't give a fuck about teenies and are borderline on early 20s quirksters with thin takings.

>>94364657
Yeah, and if we get filthy doujin out of it, it might balance

>>94364572
>I regret expending sigil magic on Thunderbolts so fucking much

It was a hell of a rabbit's foot OP. Hitch JSA sounds like another for you

>>94364444
Well said. I think Marvel could curb a lot of criticism if they did what DC has been doing with imprints lately. Put stuff like Squirrel Girl, Gwenpool, Benis Spider-Man and Moon Girl in an "all-ages" imprint. People maybe feel less "threatened" if all that stuff they don't like is clearly labeled as such. Have a line for people who want old superheroes, one for people who want new ones, and one for people who maybe don't like superheroes that much at all.

>>94364606

easy answer: they don't know what adult women want outside of actual romance/porn (that they don't want to publish) so they lean heavily on kid stuff

>>94364572
>1) in the general, I feel I'm being pitched a narrow range of shit as "books for women"
Because as we all know, women only like to read about woman-y things.

Fuckin' monkey's paw.

>>94364699
>Have a line for people who want old superheroes, one for people who want new ones,

But then how could they force a comic like Ms.Marvel with a large and growing casual reader base to drop off when she gets put on hold for a big company crossover they don't give a shit about? And then confuse them when they have to buy #1 again, but it's different

>>94364619
I'm not hispanic, liked earlier portrayals of America, but goddamn that comic is just dumb.

>>94364506
That's an interesting take but the text itself could represent not just that and rightfully be misinterpreted, even if Tomasi's intentions are innocent. There lies the problem of subtextual messages containing more than one idea and those ideas can be seen as problematic.

>>94364680
Your boss just got his HEAD blown off lady, just enjoy the...whatever the fuck this is.

Why don't "women" like shoujo/josei/bl stuff there? Like if Marlel wants to pander to women, release some stuff like that, not just YA garbage.

>>94364699
See, if we're using DC comparisons based on subject matter then Gwenpool is YA/HB, Miles would be Rebirth, and Squirrel/Moon Girls would be no proper line but clearly separate kids stuff like Scooby Doo. The books that make people mad aren't even all the same kind of thing.

Maybe that's the biggest problem though, Marvel hasn't committed to any kind of real direction. Why DON'T they have structured lines?

>>94364680

Thinking about it, Raina Telgemeier is probably having a huge effect that we're all overlooking and Marvel wants to catch that wave.

also it seems like they keep doing these kinds of books with new people who don't seem to want to tackle a heavy thing in their first comic out? most people don't get the TNC 12 issue arc guaranteed thing. (weird example but first i jumped for). Plus who are they looking for, someone from webcomics like Ryan North has a different writing style than a novelist or tv writer.

And comics in general is hard up for, i dunno, serious stories?

i do wanna say i think /co/ overstates the women books from marvel a little, like Thor, Hawkeye, Ms Marvel, Hulk all have different tones. There's that subset that Ms Marvel and Squirrel Girl started that's the thing

>>94364619

Also worth considering is scholastic market. I know DC Superhero Girls sold a lot there last year and stuff like Moon Girl and Squirrel Girl sells there too.

>>94364680
I mean, as many women AND men have been saying, all you really need to appeal to women, assuming they're already interested in superhero stories in the first place and not just wanting slice of life or teenie shit, is to 1) put some women in who are not other characters' love interests and 2) don't draw them like Liefeld, and even the latter is not a deal breaker.

There's a difference between "making comics for women" and "making comics that aren't not for women". You don't have to put females off into their own separate ghetto with their own special comics just for them.

>>94364747
King has an incredible talent for writing issues that stand on their own, even if they're really a chapter of an overarching narrative.

This is kind of a lost art in comics and the only other writer I can think of who's doing it is Priest right now. King has even spoken in the past about how that's the kind of thing he wants to bring back to comics.

For comparison, you know how most novels are just chapters continuing on from each other? That's most comics. What King tries to do is like a novel where each chapter may be from a different character's perspective or tell a completely different part of the story, you could hand someone just one of those chapters cut out from the book and they'd be able to enjoy it, but when read all together in sequence they tell a bigger story.

Admittedly, his Batman run doesn't nail this nearly as often as Grayson did, which I'm gonna blame on being bimonthly, but overall I've enjoyed almost every issue on an individual level, it's just when taken together as a single story that they don't feel as robust.

>>94364890
Banners are probably a better idea, but Gwenpool, Moon Girl and Squirrel Girl single issue sales are already in the shitter so

Interesting to see that they didn't let Unstoppable Wasp continue on that rationale, whereas it's clearly gotten those two a stay of execution

>>94364984
I'd totally read Steve Rogers and his gay adventures with his gay harem. Why doesn't Marvel wants some fujobucks?

>>94365135
I'm torn on that. Because if it's doing well in that form do they really need to put out floppies at all then? But on the other hand is there even anything wrong with putting out a low tier floppy just for the occasional kid who might be in a LCS when their parent is picking up their pull?

Just thinking out loud though.

Actually does marvel do any digital comics like DC does?

anyway I want Marvel to come out with a gay themed digital comic that the comics internet then boycotts because they find it exploitative

oh hey Iceman! there's a gay book

DC is putting out those Ricken statues at least and they seem kind of lewd to me. Maybe they're learning.

>>94365340
>Actually does marvel do any digital comics like DC does?
yeah but they don't really get the same level of attention

that Iron Fists book that got announced a while ago and never came out got bumped down to a digital mini

>>94365161
>You don't have to put females off into their own separate ghetto with their own special comics just for them.
You do if you're in marketing. Seriously, marketers are autistic as fuck when it comes to demographics. Everything MUST remain in its own little box because the chart said so.

Remember Bravely Default? That JRPG Square Enix made a while back, and was actually surprised it was successful? Yeah, market "researchers" are fucking retarded.

>>94365207
I wonder whether Marvel or DC will be the first to just skip the single issues for one of these series and got straight to trade.

I know there are already OGNs, of course, but those are still aimed at your mainstream superhero consumer.

>>94365246
They do have one, it's called "Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps" :^)

>>94365370
I'm a little disappointed they're starting with the whole Batfam and not the JL, but I guess the Batfam is bigger fujobait

>>94365340
Related question, but is Marvel publishing any non-canon comics? I know DC has a bunch coming up.

>>94365452
Sure OP, thanks.

>>94365388

not lewd enough

>>94365452
Thanks, faggot

>>94365452
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

Mercedes is a precious cinnamon roll who's smile must be protected at all costs.

... Oh who am I kidding, I just fucking know they're gonna kill her off. Cause that's what always happens, goddammit.

>>94364747
King's Batman frustrates me so much.

One issue will be good, the next will be shit, the arc overall will be a bad idea executed okayish, the next arc will be an pretty good idea executed terribly or at least completely boringly.

He's like Snyder or Bendis where he feels like he has to try so hard and get out of his comfort zone, and it ends up being mediocre to crap.

Like fuck, I wish Batman could just be smaller scale stories. Morrison, Snyder, and now King have all tried to CHANGE BATMAN F O R E V E R, and most of their shit has fallen flat for me.

>>94363467
Black Bolt seems to have forgotten that Creel had a rape baby

>>94365452

>>94365458
Looks like there's a couple in the October solicits like a zombie thing, but they don't really get the same amount of press.

>>94365458
I think there's another Deadpool kills the universe going on, but I haven't seen a storytime

>>94365340
>Actually does marvel do any digital comics like DC does?
Yeah. They just don't get attention at all.
IIRC there's an Iron Fist one that got announced but they announced it on a Thursday, the day after it got released digitally. During SDCC. So yeah.
DC at least has Bombshells, Injustice, and Smallville Season 11 as successes from a digital line, because I don't think marvel has any.

>>94365388
>I wonder whether Marvel or DC will be the first to just skip the single issues for one of these series and got straight to trade.
Superhero Girls is this and I am curious if DC will do more like that. The problem is they probably wouldn't feel like pushing it and people wouldn't know it came out if it didn't come out every month. Especially if they did it with a literally who like Hellcat.

>>94365831
Reviews say that book is ass, lol.

>>94365962
Yeah, the only time I've seen it on /co/ was from people getting excited that Moon Girl and Riri are going to die.
I think I saw a panel of a decapitated Miles.

>>94366060

>>94366085
It's ridiculously overblown resentment but IDK, "Hey look this is the new smartest person in the MU and it's going to piss you off ha ha so we'll mention it every time we can" is a sad way to do things

>Kurt Busiek thinks Orion's design sucks
>thinks he should always wear the Astro-Vest

My god...the wrongess

>>94366164

i guess my thing is like it's not that serious? i dunno

>>94366199

reminder kurt busiek ruined the x-men

>>94366231
And I see people going all "Ha take that shitty people, a young black girl is the smartest person in the MU!" and I'm reasonably sure they don't read the book either, it's just about sticking it to someone they don't like too

It makes for bad faith arguments all around

>>94366164
At this point I guess we can just say live by the obnoxious marketing, die by the obnoxious marketing.

>>94366199
Yeah he doesn't need that. I feel like the simpler New God designs are the best ones. Lightray is 10/10.

>>94366330
Exactly.
It's nice, simple, and underlies Orion's staunch and straighforward nature as well as his role as a soldier. Something utilitarian and unadorned.

Would he be awful on Justice League?

I wonder, what's the worst thing he could write?

>>94366446
why does this concern me

I don't like change

>>94366446
c'mon gimme Firestorm or Outsiders

>>94366516
>>94366516
>I wonder, what's the worst thing he could write?
Any happy well adjusted character?

If I had to choose, I'd choose to put him on Suicide Squad. That book needs some death, keikaku, and good writing.

But I'd be ok with him on JL as long as he doesn't write Batman like he did Damian

let's pray for L.E.G.I.O.N.

How far are you gonna go with Mister X.

>>94369906
does it even collect any good stories? I've only read some Shooter issues

>>94370375
>Collects ADVENTURE COMICS #247, #267, #282, #290, #293, #300-328; ACTION COMICS #267, #276, #287 and #289; SUPERMAN #147; SUPERMAN ANNUAL #4 and SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN #72, #76; and SUPERBOY #86, #89, #98 and #117.

I think Shooter would be vol 2 or 3 if they get that far

>>94370454

I think someone said they'll collect about 3 archives per omnibus so Shooter should start near the end of vol 2?

>>94370572
I guess the question is mostly whether they'd want to split him up or just start a volume with his first issue. Being able to say "this is the start of the Shooter run" seems more like what you'd do as a marketing move, but if they're committed to doing almost everything then maybe it doesn't matter.

>>94364531
And to think only two of them had private armies of metahumans running around engaging in borderline evil warmongering!

>>94367072
Outsiders would be fine but Suicide Squad is my #1 pick. He's perfect for it and it's too shitty right now.

Thanks, OP.

>>94365310
Yeah, although there's a few mistakes. For waht is supposedly the easiest language to learn, people sure do fuck it up a lot when trying to use it for cool points

>>94365225
Is the letterer retarded?
