Hello, Storyteller.

So, apparently, the "metalhumans" thing was just the appetizer. Snyder's only just getting started with the stupid shit.

A Justice League Megazord. For fucks sake.

Devin Grayson is writing the Power Pack oneshot. I'm curious how the reception to that will be considering her infamous reputation, lol. And if marvel will give her another book.

No way, Dave. This has to be an epic, game changing blockbuster that will change the DCU forever!

See, this is why I hate how the word 'fun' is thrown around all the fucking to justify bullshit. If Metal were just a fun romp as Snyder initially claimed, it probably would just be a bunch of gladiator matches on War World. That would be fine, and hell I'd probably be all for the Justice League Megazord because COMIC BOOKS. But no, Snyder just had to make this "important" and "epic", asking us to take this absurdity seriously. Well no, fuck you, pick a tone and stick with it.

But all of the grandiose stuff it is doing is...well, really safe. The new safe.

>>94656911
Call me shallow, but I am now more interested in the event because of the leaked pages (then DC actually giving the pages to the WashingtonPost as a "fuck it" moment).

I really want to see where this is going now.

so what should we read next?

>EXCLUSIVE REVEAL: VERTIGO LAUNCHES SCI-FI/HORROR TITLE IMAGINARY FIENDS BY TIM SEELEY

>The bogeyman is more than a figment of a child's imagination in Vertigo Comics' new title Imaginary Fiends. Instead, it's a real creature from another realm that nudges the impressionable to do bad things for them. And there's more than one of these creatures. A lot more.

>Debuting November 15, and exclusively revealed at SYFY WIRE, the six-part sci-fi/horror book from the adult-oriented DC Comics imprint is written by Tim Seeley (co-creator of Hack/Slash, Nightwing) and features art by Stephen Molnar (Star Trek).

>The story kicks off with a ripped-from-the-headlines premise of a young girl found covered in blood in woods by a small town. Her best friend, Melba, has just tried to murder her, pushed to commit the act by a spider girl with the appropriately creepy name of "Polly Peachpit." Seven years later, Melba is about to be transferred from a psychiatric facility to federal prison when Agent Crockett arrives. He knows Polly Peachpit is real, and but one of many spectral parasites from another dimension that seek to gain access to our world. By convincing compliant humans to commit acts for them, the parasitic aliens become stronger, all while remaining invisible to all but their hosts.

>“Hal Jordan yearns for the thrill of discovery, but the days when astronaut and adventure were synonymous are long past. His gig prospecting asteroids for Ferris Galactic is less than fulfilling — but least he’s not on Earth, where technology and culture have stagnated. He might be a nobody, but he’s in space.

>When Jordan finds a powerful ring, he also finds a destiny to live up to. There are worlds beyond his own, unlike anything he ever imagined. But revelation comes with a price: the Green Lantern Corps has fallen, long since murdered by ruthless killing machines known as Manhunters. The odds against reinstating the Corps are nearly impossible … but doing the impossible is exactly what an astronaut like Hal Jordan was trained to do.

>From creator Gabriel Hardman, the critically acclaimed author of INVISIBLE REPUBLIC, comes a soaring new epic original graphic novel in the tradition of the best-selling WONDER WOMAN: EARTH ONE VOL. 1 by Grant Morrison and BATMAN: EARTH ONE VOL. 1 by Geoff Johns! GREEN LANTERN: EARTH ONE VOL. 1 is a radical look at the Lantern mythology and a great entry point for new readers.”

It's especially a damn shame, since a number of the classical cape love interests have made something of a comeback. Steve has been fairly prominent and even got his own oneshot, Lois has returned to the Daily Planet and fought a villain using a fucking mech suit, and Mera is arguably starting to eclipse her husband in popularity and now she's a temporary Leaguer.

Carol though? She keeps getting passed around like a piece of fuckmeat.

>>94657864

I feel like the first was pretty weak outside of a few moments, but the second has more of a grasp of its own sense of personality.

You have Bruce trying harder to not be complete shit, and it feeds into his characterization well.

>>94657853
I have always felt that Mera benefit far from from Johns GL than Carol did

I don't know why Carol just can't catch a break like a lot of other love interests have

Venditti and Justin Jordan totally fucking her over didn't help at all and you'd think Johns using her in GL for years would have counted for something but nope

Also, I really enjoy how Johns wrote her. She is just not down with all this weird space myth crap, but she just rolls with it. I love it, it's like she has no idea what she's doing but makes it up as she goes along.

that's true, they're insanely inconsistent and poorly defined and nobody cares enough to bother fixing them

I don't see anything wrong with it, he drew like one picture of Carol then Kalista started manipulating him and he gave into it

Kyle forgetting about a woman he's supposedly dating (although there's also a pretty good chance they broke up before Omega Men happened anyway) to move onto the closest comfort doesn't seem out of character for him honestly

Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

This series is oddly, and I don't use this word often, comfy. Maybe it's the retrofuturist aesthetic, but this crime noir series is kinda relaxing.

>>94658238

>>94658216

>>94658280
Maybe they do, but due to office politics they never get to do what they want.

>>94658225
>although there's also a pretty good chance they broke up before Omega Men happened anyway
Except it was shown that they were still dating and Kyle was still helplessly in love with her. I hate Kyle/Carol too and King could've just ignored it but he references it and made sure the readers knew Kyle was in love with Carol before having him fuck Kalista. Furthermore, if you take out the part where they fuck her character remains the same, she doesn't lose a damn thing.

>>94658127
>I still desire ruthless space businesswoman Carol
Same. Really, it's the logical direction to take her character. And Carol's in a somewhat unique position of being a classical love interest who's also a classical villain. Her possibly getting up to some shady shit could put her in an antagonist role once again, which could be very interesting.

>>94658216
I'd like to second this. Someone please make this a thing.

>>94656861

>>94658337
>Except it was shown that they were still dating and Kyle was still helplessly in love with her.
Shown how? He mentions her like twice and then after he draws a picture she never comes up again. Also I have a difficult time believing he was THAT in love with her

>Furthermore, if you take out the part where they fuck her character remains the same, she doesn't lose a damn thing.
Kalista's character stays the same but the effect she has on Kyle is lessened. Making that physical connection was a big part of wrapping him around her finger

>>94658389
Don't argue with anon, he's a closet Kyle/Carol shipper.

>>94658389
>Also I have a difficult time believing he was THAT in love with her
That's on you

>but the effect she has on Kyle is lessened.
No, unless you're memeing about women only using their pus for manipulation. He still gets suckered into the whole thing trying to save the system and the princess. Unless you fell for the meme that s female character and male character can only have a relationship if they fuck.
