It's basically the only book that was making use of the space.

>>95070490
OK, the Mink is now confirmed for supervillain.

>>95070490
I haven't yet. Every storytime of it usually just has comments like "FUCK YEAH BANE IS BACK! FUCK THAT KEK KING FOR WRITING A SHITTY BANE" and that has not really endeared me to it

>>95070411
Blame needlessly overcomplicated modern artwork. Telling you, comics could probably go back to regularly being bi-monthly, perhaps even weekly if the art was simplified. It would sure as fuck lower production cost at least a little bit.

The coloring aspect of house style actually bothers me a lot more than any line art component. There are some comics that'd look better in B&W or with flat colors, but most everything gets this mandatory style applied to it.

I feel like the way you see artists talk it seems like they are the ones dictating coloring style more than editorial.

>>95070531
I either here comments like that, or "ugh what was DC thinking hiring Dixon???"

so I haven't heard anything useful about the book nor have I read it myself

Friendly reminder that he's showing up in Superman as a generic bad guy written by the hacks that wrote his previous ongoing because Johns and the other editors consider them Slade experts. Reminder that they also said Deathstroke was fine and didn't need any fixing.

Like opera, for example.

I'm(Cranky) a spider expert on Metroid. Texas Anon is a Wonder Woman spider expert, Judge Anon is a spider expert on Judge Dredd, etc.

You're right, that does have a nice ring to it.

>>95070897
Lois trying to interview villains sounds good but the solicit sounds terrible and they're obviously ignoring Priestroke.

>>95071177
Me too, but I can't overstate how much I despise that 4 page explanatory sequence. That is a total letdown moment in this comic for me, and it's such a shame to drop that and then get into this which is actually fun, interesting, active and developing on something we saw previously too.

Like... did they just misjudge space? Did they think they'd run longer? Just suddenly realise they'd forgot to put in what they needed to put in earlier? That reveal should have been good, and the 5 pages of backstory at the start of this issue *were* good but... fuck.

It's not the art, it's the fact that it started selling below 30k regularly.

Green Arrow finally hit that and is going monthly.

Unless of course you mean you could start paying artists less if it were simplified art then yeah that could work too.

>>95071055
Agreed. An exposition dump that heavy feels completely out of place in a book like this. And having the satirical talking statue deliver it through song did not help.

>>95071270
What I'm saying is that the over complicated art is likely a contributing factor for why comics went monthly, and that the changeover ultimately hurts sales. Most people are not going to wait around a month for a new issue to come out. Us regular readers are frankly fucking crazy.
Simpler art theoretically allows for a more frequent release schedule. It'd also help to go back to done in ones, since most people aren't crazy or stupid enough to wait around a whole month for a mere piece of a story, but that's another matter.

As much as making the school a proper school with an actual student body was one of the few things I liked about Morrison's X-Men, I can't help but feel it's also what truly cemented X-students as completely disposable fodder.

Reminder that thanks to Generation X and modern date namings, Quentin Quire (boy genius) has been in high school like SIXTEEN YEARS

>>95071427
>I'm betting they lean hard on cutting out Trinity stuff
god I hope so

I've been worried they'd do the opposite and somehow shoehorn Robo Lois and Val-Zod in

>>95071860
Even if you accept that argument, literally bringing back the original kids is just insulting.

>>95072094
I'm kind of hoping that they don't even try to reconcile Peej and just let her go off into Limbo for the time being, but I can see her somehow being worked in. Helena Huntress and Fury are just too tied to Pre-Crisis and I don't think anyone's motivated enough to put in the work.

there's a preview out for Dastardly & Muttley http://www.buzzcomics.net/showpost.php?p=1724549&postcount=1

also delicious Smugnestro back in Superman 30

>>95072143
I'd be okay with no Trinity-tangential characters whatsoever, but I don't think we'll be so lucky

I could see them leaving Peej in limbo for a while and probably not bothering at all with Helena Wayne since Helena B is Huntressing around again

>>95072143
Fury will probably remain with Daniel.

The campus stuff in this is just perfectly put together.

>>95072143
Reminder that /ourpeeg/ is not the one on E2. The E2 one was created when the multiverse came back.

Just have /ourpeeg/ trapped like the rest of the E0 JSA.

the Fury that was Diana and Steppenwolf's lovechild will hopefully just cease existing

That's also fair, I wonder if we'll basically get Johns v2 or end of Johns v3 characters, but I'm pretty sure we're not going to get any Guggenheim, hopefully

Who's wearing the Fate helmet is going to be a bellweather for where we hop from

Yeah, the hard reboot was a good reason to bring back Helena W but now she's really superfluous and her backstory is too dependent on specific things to play the Two Wallys game, which has been handled with some skill

>>95072216
it is clearly written by someone who knows and loves academia

Who's been the one showing up in Blue Beetle? Kent? It seems likely they're going to go back to him, he was in Injustice and he's basically the least complicated one to use

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with him at all.

The turning point of New X-Kids being their own thing into cannon fodder was Morrison expanding their numbers by orders of magnetude. And the ultimate expression of that irrelevancy is Bendis seeing positive reviews for Jeff Parker's First Class, going "MINE" and making them "the new X-Kids"

It's the worst possible thing they could have ever done to the X-Men, which has always been about change and kids growing up even above the whole metaphors for bigotry.

If we get INZA too I'll be happy enough; Hector is probably a no-go because he's such a Hawksnarl adjacent difficulty, although since they seem to be going with Carter he wouldn't be that hard. Jakeem taking over from old Johnny is easy to do, you can fold in Atom Smasher without going into all the backstory...

I guarantee he's the great grandson that was mentioned

>Generations: The Iron with Tony Stark and Riri Williams is one of the worst superhero comics I’ve ever read. It takes some of the most egregious Bendis writing habits and runs wild with them. 30 painful pages filled with mismatched art from three pencilers, four inkers, and three colorists. It’s so clear that this was a last-minute production with little to no editorial oversight — no one at the wheel.

This is genuinely pretty awesome.

I could get behind an Omega Corps in Marvel, fighting a seemingly endless stream of genocidal robots throughout the cosmos, inviting members of every species to join them on their guardianship/crusade.

Heck, I even like the Novas, but the Omegas are more interesting.

If it doesn't fly, it isn't food.

Poor Omega.
