What would be your reaction to Simone writing a Zatanna book?

>>94414789
It kind of looks like the Hal one

>>94414896
I'd probably enjoy it. I have no reason to think Zatanna is a character she'd write in a way I didn't like

Hello, Storyteller.

I forgot to mention Wednesday, Helena is delicious, and I love her. Yeah, I read Grayson cause she was in it. That's it, really.

... So how are things?

>>94414896
Did anyone try out her Image book? I completely forgot about it.
>>94414953
They weren't, and now apparently there isn't a non-lenticular version.

>But the thing is: Lenticular covers (like those on DC books like the whole “Villains Month” stunt a few years back, or more recently on “The Button” storyline) are very popular with customers, to the point where it is my experience that if the lenticular is available, the vast majority of customers prefer the “fancy” one. And in the case of the Marvel “Legacy” covers, this should be even greater because the Lenticular has the same cover price as the regular edition. From a particular POV, the “regular” cover is now far far less desirable as a result.

>But again, you can’t order any copies of the lenticular of “Iron Man” if you don’t order 225% of the regular one.
>Another problem: this kind of line-wide stunt really becomes an “all-in, or stay out” kind of program – it simply isn’t rational to think you can carry a few of the lenticular covers, but not all of them. That’s not how audience response works. If you buy-in, you have to buy-in across the board.

Same. Like, I know a lot of people like Zatanna, but I guess I don't see the appeal.
>fishnets
I mean the actual appeal, not shallow fanservice. Dinah wears fishnets too, but I actually give a shit about who she is as a person.

What the fuck kind of person even is Zatanna anyway? Or is she like Catwoman, and people only "like" her because of fetish outfits?

I feel we're actually getting to a point now where even the people pretending to be outraged now it's absurd. Nobody truly cares about that shit unless they're Damifag-tier.

I've gotta say, the desu archive's been posted a few times recently and looking at deleted posts and threads is an education. That isn't even everything, if it gets deleted before the archive updates it won't be there. I think a lot of it is just a couple of people.

>>94415138
I guess for me the hook is kind of the legacy aspect like I liked her in YJ, but I don't know. Fine enough as a group character that I don't need to read the solo for.

wait is it just the Isis name on an OC? I thought it was the Power Hour character (albeit with some new powers and shit)

it's the gru(?) thing, a show like legends doesn't need OCs.

Amoral, villainous, complex = what I want Priest to write from now on. His Deathstroke run honestly makes perfect sense in light of his Black Panther one, but just: LEGION yes, Suicide Squad yes, fucking Constantine or whatever, yes. Let him pick his books.

I don't know what her name was on Power Hour, but in 52 it was Adrianna. CW gave her a different first name and made Adrianna the middle name I guess? So it's like "Curtis" Holt.

Same. I'm bitter that his WW run is just remembered as "Hey remembah the time Wonder Woman was a space pirate/worked at a taco joint?"

I know this is pretty much what Dark Matter is but they really need to do something like this more often. The idea of Priest with some free reign and character creation at the Big 2 is interesting to me, though I wonder if he'd just end up doing parody ala JA-ZAKI, DA RED LION

Also I wonder how much of The Terrifics is Shaner vs how much is Lemire.

>>94415552
Pretty sure, yeah. Aside from the big name stuff games really seem better than ever to me senpai.

The fascinating aspect of it for me is not necessarily "I am doing something with free reign that I've always been a fan of" but "I got offered something unusual/out of my past wheelhouse, read up on it, and took it on and it was really good"

I have no desire whatsoever to read Lemire's Legion

Is the art starting to give anyone else a manga vibe? I mean, I don't really read manga but what I have read is pretty similar to this in terms of page layouts and perspectives.

Space Pirate Diana and Taco Whiz were really good stories, and I hate that they're dismissed out of hand for no real reason.

Don't forget Reis.

The Terrifics is the book that's really standing out to me amongst Dark matter, not because of the cast but because I can't tell whose idea it was, unlike the rest of the Dark Matter books. It seems most like the book that was pitched by an editor to creators, which doesn't seem to be Dark Matters schtick.

Oh honey, WB is just as bad about that shit as any other. Remember how they prioritized Arkham City's DLC instead of fixing major functional issues with the game? Or how Arkham Knight ran like complete shit on pretty much all platforms, and they didn't give a shit? Hell, the Catwoman chapter was actually a part of the base game until they cut it out and repackaged it as DLC.

So actually, yeah you ARE dealing with the industry at large.

Well, I personally believe gaming in general is the way to go to get new readers into capes, since I think that Injustice comic did more to get people interested in DC than anything since New 52. Batman games probably did something similar.

Also gamers love waifus and small flavor-of-the-month games (remember Katawa Shoujo?) so I think it could be a success.

Granted I know next to nothing about the game industry after circa 2012 so who knows.

>>94416238
I have a feeling it's gonna be "Flashpoint" in the same way the TV show episode was, if even that much.

The basic framework of the plot DOES work really well for a Flash solo movie, IMO. You get his origin told to you, you get his signature villain, and you get a nice TWEEST at the end about it being Barry's fault instead of Zoom's.

But after pushing the wrong button, the ultra-rare radioactive element, unstabilium, has been released into the atmosphere! Now it’s up to pilot Lt. Col. Richard “Dick” Atcherly and his navigator Captain Dudley “Mutt” Muller to save the day. Will they safely complete their mission? Or are things about to get a little...wacky?

>From man to man’s best friend! Mutt has undergone a shocking transformation and unstabilium is to blame! Can he and Dick find a cure back home in the United States? Or will Air Force General Harrier personally make sure the guys are grounded for good? Meanwhile, the president holds a very important press conference…trust us, you won’t want to miss it!

Getting Mauricet for this was genius

Golden Kamuy really is good, I read it recently. It's like a Tarantino film in early 20th century Hokkaido. A mix of Ainu cooking lessons and violent double-crosses among horrible people. The basic set-up has strong shades of Blade of the Immortal.

The Martian cockrock one is not good but lots of people find it hilariously bad and so worth reading. YMMV.

>>94416392
Oh, and to expound on my gaming point, I think the type of people who are super into video games are generally the type of people who have been into comics for the past 15 years or so, which is why I think a lot of the recent people complaining about Marvel are from /v/ and probably only have experience with the event/murderporn era of Marvel.

Also they're obsessed with SJWs, can only communicate in memes and rage, and desperately want to make Marvel's current status into an EBIN TORTANIC style circlejerk

>>94416238
Okay controversial opinion incoming

Im glad they're doing Flashpoint as the first Flash film because it very quickly establishes "yes Barry can time travel but holy shit he shouldn't". It certainly works better at this point than after 4 films of Barry having already time travelled

Honestly if Flintstones had gotten even a single nomination for Eisner, DC would have a bigger incentive to let Russell do whatever. But those motherfuckers needed to suck Vaughan's dick.

>>94416289
Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? Marketing wise, it's a potential disaster. Yes, let's adapt a story that shits all over the character who saved our movie franchise from being a total laughingstock. Brilliant!

Criminy, all of the social media is going to be a complete shitstorm.

>>94416392
That's really Flashpoint's greatest sin though, that some run of the mill Flash story was the thing that rebooted the universe.

Sure OP, thank you

>>94416532
That's a very good point. Sidesteps the "Well why doesn't Barry just go back in time and warn people about Zod, or stop Darkseid" or any of the other silly questions people ask.

>>94416595
He definitely is but he was a genius for going after the teen/YA audience. I know SO many people who usually only read manga and love to shit on me for reading comics that insist that Saga is the only good comic.

Saga is absolutely a hit at just the right point 'babby's first non-capeshit' with enough diversity points and the serious talent of Staples carrying it

It could really use a hard edit because you can see where on both their parts it's taken hard turns into wallows (the Steve Bannon dragon was her idea, e.g.)

I've always really liked Fiona Staples' art, I used to hunt for stuff she was on. Ironically I'd probably rather she had never done Saga so she'd have done a wider variety of stuff.

>>94416998
Nah, they seem to be doing opposite of new 52 where there were quite a few attempted writer changes within three arcs if the book wasn't cancelled

Now you got a lot of writers going all the way to at least 30 by the time 2 years of Rebirth is up. Nightwing, GA, Aquaman, Flash, Batman, 'Tec, Supes, etc.

Eh, that's fairly tame, honestly. Certainly has nothing on the time fans harassed the writer of Dragon Age 2 and threatened to murder her children because they didn't like the game. Yes, that is a real thing that happened. And nerds wonder why everyone hates them.

Certainly no degree of harassment is 'good', but this idea some comics fans have that harassment in comics is extraordinary is, at least on any comparative scale, not the case

Maybe I'm biased, but the "pros are bullies" seems to often come from people who engaged and didn't get the result they wanted, which was agreement and acquiescence. But again, I live by "creative don't owe you shit, you don't owe creative loyalty either"

>>94417224

I think the weird combination of "massively promoted commercial corporate property" with "written by one dude/chick who we can try to sway" leads to some very odd fan attitudes, tho

>>94417238
I think more apt comparison would be you're going to a theater and pay your ticket upfront, you don't know whether the thing you are going to watch will be a flick, movie, film, cinema or kino. You can walk out whenever you want to.

Those owls are cute. CUTE!

Also, I am slowly making my way through the earlier parts of this series, hoping to maybe possibly catch up. I may also try to find a halfway decent chan archive to read comments, because that's half the fun.

I'm a bit surprised I have so little knowledge of this going in, (the most I had was "that's a Dark Horse Character!") despite it being a Canadian book, and owning a goddamn history of comic books in Canada. The original series even had early Ty Templeton, which reminds me that I haven't checked out his bunny strips in ages.

I am so far behind on weekly releases that I no longer feel any strong desire to read weekly, and I feel bad about missing so many of these lately.

I only knew about this because someone ran it on /co/ a while ago and I was all "holy shit whaaaa', but it's a bona fide cult classic

>>94417243
I think part of it is that fans tend to forget or even willfully ignore that fact that creators are people, and that creative work is still their job. These individuals are not symbols to be objectified, they are normal ass people with emotions and opinions. But fans get pissy when these people dare express their feelings and opinions, and that's when stupid shit happens on Twitter.

Now, I'm no fan of Death of the Author, for that very reason, that the author is a person who will subconsciously or intentionally slip their own biases into their work, influencing the story one way or another. I just think one should always be mindful of that when reading, and especially when engaging the author online.

The real reason they left was because Vortex wasn't paying them. The checks were constantly late, so much so that they got their last one in 1988 two full years after leaving the comic.

They have no love for Mister X and regret their time working on it.

Gotta say, the black and white has been much better. The previous art style was cluttered as fuck and made it hard to see. This is much easier to make out.

Or it's more like ordering something, deciding you don't like it, and simply not ordering it again or not going to that restaurant again.

It's then up to the chef to decide whether he wants to change his cooking to appeal to you and your ilk or just be content with the people who DO like his food.

This is the age-old problem with stuff being stuck in a place between consumer product and art.

>>94416532
That Flashpoint has turned into THE Barry Allen story to adapt is the strongest argument that you could have against him not being dead.

It's a crappy story even without the New52 being born out of it- Age of Apocalypse with none of the good parts of AoA- and it really doesn't work nearly as well as a standalone thing to boot.
