Good evening owls of Cred Forums,
SPEEDSTERS!
Good evening owls of Cred Forums,
SPEEDSTERS!
Hello Storyteller.
Wondy has been confirmed bi! ... Again.
And people think this is at all newsworthy. ... Again.
Yeah.
look at this fucking title, and consider it's Gru, and...
SPOILERS!
but yes
Direct Currents is the new, FREE quarterly magazine that brings you into the world of DC with exclusive sneak peeks of every title—starting with the top-secret Justice League/Suicide Squad crossover event coming in December! Plus: Get a first look at the all-new SUPER SONS series starring the offspring of Superman and Batman, and new info on the second wave of Rebirth titles!
Is this Buried Alive?!?
Cool
I liked when Catwoman was confirmed bi and nobody really cared because they assumed that had always been true.
Then it happens to Wonder Woman, for whom it's been effectively confirmed for years, and people make a fuss.
has it been scanned/is it digital?
>and new info on the second wave of Rebirth titles
they better tell us something at NYCC!
I don't think it's out until November
Makkari is really delightful
>fucking Zdarsky again
comicsbeat.com
>typo in the New Talent Showcase solicit in the physical PREVIEWS catalog: Danvers instead of Ferris
I'm 99% convinced of King Legion at NYCC and am terrified to be proven wrong/fucking Booth or some shit on art.
i'm assuming all the stuff from it will be online quickly. i don't get Cred Forums jizzing so hard over it
the dc bias in Cred Forums is getting blinding
>>typo in the New Talent Showcase solicit in the physical PREVIEWS catalog: Danvers instead of Ferris
I fucking wish
can it be worse than the monkey's paw that Thunderbolts has been?
Booth *loves* Wally, so he's gonna stick on that book as long as humanly possible
I know we don't usually talk about live action stuff here, but this is relevant to our interests.
>Dominators
Yay!
>basically Invasion adaptation
Um... yay?
I don't really know why anyone needed it confirmed weeks/months after the issue came out. But I found the interview interesting because I like seeing how creators think about stuff like made up cultures.
Hey OP.
Wanna be angry? Look, look as Bendis fails to live a poem.
Live action are great for reprints.
i'm still praying for booth to go to wildstorm containment.
>not being hyped as hell for INVASION!
i literally screamed in joy when i saw that.
no castro team up tho :(
>Morrison
I neeeed it.
I just pray Wally gets a solo at this point to escape him
This series is cavalcade of delightful characters.
A lot of these recent series have been.
>
>86625013
ohhhhhh jesus Bendis writing Tigra, I can already feel the rage rising
also it kind of confirmed for me that Greg Rucka is not interested in writing out the explicit details of who and how Diana banged, unlike much of Twitter fandom
A few weeks old. Double Take, the comic book line published by Take-Two Interactive have simultaneously published ten zombies comic books, that work as sequels to the Night Of The Living Dead, but also lead up into a new established superhero universe.
Run by ex-Marvel publisher Bill Jemas (who writes a number of the books as well) they have tried a number of innovative approached to storytelling and the selling of a new comic book line, but eventually those series all came to an end.
Until now. With a bunch of new series, with aliens, superheroes, monsters and sequels to those
With a bunch of new series, with aliens, superheroes, monsters and sequels to those superzombie titles, coming from Double Take in December.
Welcome to Alphabet City, Behold, 51, Meds and Z-Mart. All $2.50 each as well..
however this resolves it's gonna be heartbreak, innit
wildstorm's been pooped on enough in the past few years, man
Booth is probably gonna follow Wally if possible, man
i saw someone mad Wonder Woman didn't literally say "I'm gay" on the page in the comic
which i kinda get but that's not good writing? like make the complaint he isn't showing her being gay(make outs/sex) if that's the complaint ya know
that sounds about as interesting as zzzzzzzz
D: D: D: D:
he'll get off titans for a wally solo or at least beg didio for it or something
Alright, creepy undead puppet dad.
That`s going to be a much more oomphy payoff than just finding his rotting corpse weeks after death like a hoarder or a Cred Forumsmrade
Makkari's shapely runner's calves, damn
>more canon vore
I mean if that happened and Abnett stayed on Titans it wouldn't be all bad. I just want one book with old Wally and decent art.
Can't wait to see Marvel's NYCC plans. If it is just the already announced Now titles, they will be gangbanged by Didio, Lee and the Cereal Lord.
I'm not sure why anyone needed it confirmed at all. It's pretty damn obvious.
The princess of the Amazons likes the ladies? You don't say!
Sorry user, but Invasion! was dull as hell. Really, the only thing even remotely memorable from it is L.E.G.I.O.N, which I can only hope will be the point of this little crossover special.
...
Why do only the bad threads get noticed? Nobody cared during Claremont/Byrne Iron Fist, or Duffy PMIF, but everyone reads for Bendis.
I think Brevoort may have had a point...
>Marvel Launches New “Secret” Variant Covers For Renew Your Vows And USAvengers #1
>The U.S.Avengers #1 already has 53 variant covers, one per state, aligning a Marvel hero with every state in the USA, plus Canada and US principalities.
>You might expect stores in specific states to go in heavy on their own variant.
>But if a store orders one copy of all 53 state variant covers, they can order one copy of a Top Secret variant, the artist to be revealed at a later date. It’s meant to be impressive.
I know it's horrible but man I love Marvel's brazen cash grabs
Well he's gonna be Flash at least a little
>DC/Marvel all speedster all the time crossover, whenever Joey Q leaves
Didn't Young Justice basically do Invasion?
>only thing even remotely memorable from it is L.E.G.I.O.N,
Wally teamed up with Fidel Castro!!
it's more i'm enjoying some actual recognition of that era from dc maybe
fucking marvel lmao
Capullo is the artist in the next issue right?
time for kawaii space messiah
YO DOOM PATROL BROS
bleedingcool.com
>tfw no money until weekend
plz stay fucked amazon
>they can order one copy of a Top Secret variant, the artist to be revealed at a later date. It’s meant to be impressive
oh boy, another Liefeld Deadpool cover!
>the artist to be revealed at a later date
So they want shops to literally gamble?
that's amazingly shameless
>I saw someone mad Wonder Woman didn't literally say "I'm gay" on the page in the comic
What, that page of Io lamenting that Diana has been tapping every chick on the island except her wasn't good enough?
Apropos monkey's paw...
Since Zub has confirmed that Zemo is gonna appear on the Bucky, Kobik and Those Unimportant Guys book, we might at least get some entertainment out of that shitshow if Zub miraculously doesn't straight up crap on Zemo and the Bucky fans inevitably get pissed and raise a stink about it.
But let's be real he is 100% gonna shit on him.
I love when Amazon screws up book prices, I got the Supergirl omni for like $17
Didn't the collections show it as a 24.99 book?
Maybe we'll get more Zemo hazing Bucky?
fuck this insufficiently aristocratic world
I disliked what Bru did with Zemo later on quite a lot, but Helmut fucking reconstructing the entire "doomed aircraft" thing JUST to tell Bucky that he doesn't deserve to be Cap unless he earns it, that's pretty vintage.
...
I wonder how much T-Bolts is playing into HYDRA Civil War...
Book is ending soon with those sales unless they drag it till the HYDRA event.
thank you Spencer/Lieber for giving Speed Demon some time in the sun
and dog-stealing
I would think Monica's turning into light stuff wouldn't count for a race
Buckybolts is probably too involved in that plot for we classic Bolts fans.
it's gotta be dragged into that event and it'll be goosed then
I have to say, I suspect the book happening at all was Spencer's baby, and I wish he'd had the time to write it because it couldn't be worse
this blonde fella is pretty darn fast!
I'm still a bit confused by that. Selina always seemed like the awkward straight girl around Harley and Ivy to me.
And thank god for that.
I never thought I'd be happy about a book featuring the OG Bolts tanking but this one deserves it.
And he was BORN TO RUN
>i'm still praying for booth to go to wildstorm containment.
Get fucked. I hope he continues to ruin your muh Wally and friends book.
Why is Barry in the marvel universe?
Bucky was a mistake
I'm mainly sad because it probably means we won't see the real Bolts together again for how long, then
because Gru is a scamp
>tfw i'm sad bucky is taking all the tbolts heat bc he rocks
If nothing else Spencer has Norbert's voice down, what little we saw of Karla in Standoff was at least better than Zub's trash and Kobik isn't completely obnoxious when he is writing her.
Maybe it'll relaunch with him at the helm instead.
Because he went SOMEWHERE while he was destroying the Anti-Monitor's machine. No body.
>53 variant covers
Jesus Christ Marlel.
a lot of this series has been "Gru fanfics DC into Marvel"
Bucky's only real value is the filthy fanfiction about him
running fucking hurts, man
In Crisis on Infinite Earths, he ran so fast that he entered the Marvel Universe, where he spent some time as an amnesiac before returning via the Speedforce.
Wooo Super Sabre!
someone posted some stupid sexy Wendell last night that was A++++
Hah kind of true because all the Bucky fans I've seen are either fujoshi or MCU fans
there's some impressively filthy stuff in the Hydra Trash Party meme. Not my bag, but I do appreciate that their response to attempted policing has been "lol fuck off".
d'awwwwwww...
>and dog-stealing
If Spencer could've somehow worked an adorable dog into Thunderbolts, he probably would've offered to draw the book.
>I am Running.
>I am Speed.
>I am Light.
Raw as fuck.
fuckpotatoes
Wendell/Makkari
y/n?
brotp is fine too
If a comic woman is sexual, people will assume she's bi.
And they're usually right.
>Speed is your home
>becomes one with the speedforce
Everywhere I look, all I see is hypercrisis.
Thunderbolts is pretty much the Cap HYDRA companion book, it will be heavily involved. Thunderbolts push also mirror the pre-movie GotG push.
They're both so easy-going that no one would make the first move
Pour one out for Gru because he would have loved all the HYPERCRISIS
>it's a "bisexuals are sluts" episode
:(
Hey man, I'm one of the regulars.
But that Foolkiller usage is outright criminal. So's the Chemistro usage, frankly.
Like how Bowie didn't die he just left Earth, Gru just let himself get absorbed into the Hypertime
i'm really preparing myself to be disappointed in Foolkillers new book
Post it again pls
You'll never stop the 90s! Never Ever!
God, remember when Gen 13 having 13 variants was a big deal?
Now that's more or less every Marvel book every issue.
>i'm really preparing myself to be disappointed in Foolkillers new book
I can never remember who's writing it
>>DC/Marvel all speedster all the time crossover, whenever Joey Q leaves
That would be so many Flashes....
I just want it to be kind of offbeat and unexpected, I don't hope for anything savage and astounding like Gerber
At least it isn't the Slapstick book that will be just Infinite shit.
He's pretty new iirc
I trust/like Van Lente for that
how are you owls today?
we're off Saturday night
But who is it?
>"Buried Alien"
Y'know, I get the feeling DC and Marvel reference each other like this a lot, to the point it's become something of a game.
And yeah, we Capullo now
is this one of his earliest gigs? He's a rock star, now. Great guns, too.
Max Bemis, who did Worst X-Man Ever
i like the idea of infinite comics but i never read them like you're supposed to so i just get frustrated by there being 50+ pages of shit
>that pic
Just like my Japanese animes!
Has Atwood really done enough comics work to warrant a trading card?
Max Bemis, he did some comedy X-Book
>we're off Saturday night
If you're gonna be marathoning the Luke Cage series, you can tell us, we probably won't judge.
I still want some sweet sweet Baron and WML Flash collections.
>How are you owls today?
My mom broke her foot. Have to help her get in and out of the house.
>bishie Wendell
Goodness gracious.
shoujo Wendell is fine with me
naw, I have to work
I don't watch TV
Well I finally storytimed the Tigra scene today, and got mad at Chemistro.
So, pretty good.
Ouch. I hope it heals up well, user.
I've been exhausted for three days straight despite getting a decent amount of sleep and I have a suspicion I'm getting sick
also dogsitting my friend's cute doggy for the night
Yup, pretty much the earliest unofficial crossover between DC and Marvel was when one Aquaman story's ending directly led into a Namor story several years later
Oh boy I can't wait for best quasar arc to come on Sunday or someday I hope
>that cosmic fight with infinity and oblivion
He's so adorable upper Midwest, damn
He needs to hang out with the GLA
Talking Marvel cosmic, I read this week's Ultimates today and Ewing does a pretty good Thanos.
>Ouch. I hope it heals up well, user.
She's fine, mostly just frustrated.
I wonder how many people these days even know where that line is from.
Ewing is working so hard to make some hay out of Bendisshit
Sabre's keeping up pretty well for an old man.
I'm waiting for this to go cosmic horror, I admit
Ewing seems to be the one person who gets the kind of loopy over the top Marvel Cosmic Logic at present, too
Someone in the thread here quoted it: continuity holds the best writer hostage of the worst.
Yay, someone remembered me!
>I am a sprinter not a marathoner
Nice to see a speedster with that distinction.
You almost never see superspeed limited to like, 1 km, because of a lack of stamina, even though that's basically the reason why runners end up sorted into specific distances.
Uh-huh. He hinted at their being two Thanoses and seems to deeply enjoy plumbing all these weird cosmic creatures Marvel has floating around. And he's one of the only people to really tackle the universe switchover post-Secret Wars in detail, AFAIK.
Rocafort is off the book now though, RIP. He made the cosmic stuff look fantastic. On the plus side: Christian Ward is doing at least one more guest issue.
He also had a decent amount of spotlight time in NewBolts.
Yeah, it's just bitter irony that Bendis uses that line to justify his own shit
is Rocafort on anything else? Is he slow?
TIME FOR META
I feel like we're some of the few people who actually read and accounted for New Thunderbolts
I got to tell someone about "Atlas throws Luke Cage out to sea" the other day, that made my day
Rucka made a subtle jab at Bendis in that article about how it's bad writing for characters to state their sexuality like Bendis' stupid 'you're gay' bullshit.
He did specifically pick out Io as not being banged though, which you could optimistically read as set-up for a romance arc?
Rucka's argument (however much influenced by editorial) was also that being attracted to woman was just normal for the Amazons, and Diana being bi or pan or whatever - pan in a really broad sense probably, considering Greek mythology - is something accepted. You can have her say "in man's world terms I am queer" on the page but it likely comes over a bit hamfisted without a bit of set up in context.
i've been trolling on yicyak about campus "political protesters" (not like real ones, like crazy street preachers)
also have to do a lecture on eisner tomorrow which'll be fun
Rocafort is slow, he's had to have fill-in artists over the last couple of issues.
Is this kid Franklin Richards in disguise?
>Rocafort is off the book now though
He needs to go back to DC and do a GL book
He actually made Thanos scary. Talking about the face of nothing
Christian Ward is also maybe the perfect guest artist for Rocafort.
When I was in college I regularly saw the Lyndon LaRouche van going around campus, that was a hoot
they'd get into it with the local Spartacists
SO META, VERY META
"I ran out of clever origins"
Is this /y/?
Rocafort's on X-Men vs Inhumans I think. some X Event.
Ultimates2 doing fine with Travel Foreman tho
I would be happy if he was on JLA or Legion but GL, fuck no.
Right, there was some heft and menace and terrible reason to his Thanos, the page where Monica went into his head was great
it's at least /cm/
>I got to tell someone about "Atlas throws Luke Cage out to sea" the other day, that made my day
DAMMIT, I FORGOT TO POST THAT!
>that 4th panel.
Sly.
Yeah, that really struck me too. It was expository dialogue but it also made you really think of Thanos as 'the Mad Titan', completely insane. I feel like Ewing has this approach as a builder to so many things and that's really absent in Marvel right now.
He isn't just acknowledging the new universe after Secret Wars, he's thinking "How do we make a comic about this? What's the actual plot here" and he's not afraid of delving into deep stuff with that.
I get the feeling this is supposed to be cute and funny, but all I can think is that this "kid" is a supreme asshole for making all this bullshit happen.
Him, Sorrentino and Alex Ross need to leave Marvel. What the fuck are they thinking?
>Pour one out for Gru because he would have loved all the HYPERCRISIS
Well, that meta as fuck cover certainly implies that.
How hyped do you think he'd be that his Cap shield ended up on national cable and then network tv?
yeah, which i thought was super interesting. Like Diana kind of doesn't know what heterosexuality is
>yfw Zemo pulls the Citizen V scheme again
Yeah, that's a great pick-up.
We JSA
He gets younger! And more Handsome!
And visits a glam ass hairstylist.
>Sorrentino
I really don't get why people like his art so much.
You can always tuck it in!
I am sorry I have not had the brain to join in on all the PM/IF stuff, because I do want to get around to reading it some time.
Yeah, it's not just "this is an idea I'm going to vomit onto the page" (as Hickman tended to be much of the time) but it's fleshed out into "this is a narrative comic"
THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM
IT'S ALL I WANT BUT I'M SO WARY OF ZUB AND SPENCER'S DIRTY HANDS ON IT.
>GL, fuck no.
why not? he'd do some gorgeous GL stuff
Foolkiller would definitely kill Bendis.
so who's who there, I see a Courtney and probably a Rick?
GLA REPRESENT
>how are you owls today?
Battling a nasty headcold that has me feeling about 12 seconds away from passing out.
A character stating their sexuality is not as bad as someone else stating their sexuality at them until they accept it.
Obsidian looks kind of shitty and Mid-nite loks like he's wearing swimming goggles
who's the guy on the right?
Considering who'd be writing it you should delete those hopes right now.
>Rocafort Hal
Yes.
they look like 2 dr midnights. also citizen steel, vixen
>She can retroactively undo anything I create!
Glorith?
I think Citizen Steel
Who's the black guy?
You just want to see his ass. and you're right to
Rocafort Hal would be cute! CUTE!
agreed
>no midriff
Lame.
>Wanting him on current GL
Nah, I'd rather he stayed at Marlel. Unless there's a creative change of course.
Have you seen the colorist attached? It's looking awful.
I think he's supposed to be creepy like what kind of kid talks like that
>I live at the time where the JSA appeared on live television
Feels good man
2nd time no less!
Why is Mid-Nite a nigger? Why can't they just fucking use the numerous black people who have been in the JSA?
>>I live at the time where the JSA appeared on live television
>Feels good man
They were also in Smallville
This seems kind of the reverse of the 'butch Carol Danvers' trend.
HI, GOD
---->Cred Forums
So this kid is Jack Kirby and his cosmic nemesis is Stan Lee, right?
>Obsidian is just a guy with a headsock
I missed the days when Marvel considered DC to be their "Distinguished Competition"
Aw no, user. I don't want to be depressed.
>Ever wonder why there are almost no superheroes in the Midwest?
Goddamn, this is some detailed meta. Morrison would pop a very Scottish boner over this.
>I feel like we're some of the few people who actually read and accounted for New Thunderbolts
It got washed away in a see of Bendis suck, and Ellis fanboyism.
...
Oh yeah I forgot about Smallville
Well this time it's better costumes.
>being this casual
>in a fucking JSA Storytime
Don't worry OP, Desi's still around and I try posting links to the old storytimes in every thread, so there's always a way to go back.
I love Beth but god her costume is dreadful.
It was definitely a throwback book at a time that Bendis was running amok post-Disassembled, I feel like the last few issues were rushed, and maybe FabNic's kudzu plotting was out of fashion by then...but it doesn't not hold up, you know? And he really moved Helmut along as a character, more than Busiek had.
...
thanks, user. I haven't been reading much comics outside of a few on Wednesday and storytime, lately
If they wanted to use that version then they should've cast a black woman.
this is some fucked-up shit, owls
I fully admit to being a petty and whiny shit about it, but I'm still butthurt about Genis.
>>I live at the time where the JSA appeared on live television
Not the first time. They also showed up on late era Smallville, with HawkDaniel Jackson.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
It's the best they can do in terms of doing Alan Scott with the movies parked on the Green Lantern name.
Downside of Wendell being a pushover, he can be pushed into killing old women
Vaguely /ss/ vibes
Creepy regular /shota/ vibes.
D'awwwwww.
PURE HUSBANDO.
HM.
STARFIELD CAPE! In a decade or so, Ringo will draw him beautifully in it.
Thanks for reading, owls. More tomorrow.
Thank you as always for running this storyteller.
Quasar: Nice guy, Avenger, fucks up Cosmic Horrors.
What a hero.
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
Ah, Quasar. And yet another good, yet tragically obscure comic book is discovered. Really kind of our gimmick at this point.
Thank you everyone who reads and comments, storytiming is mainly fun for all the reactions and chatter
Yep, and soon he'll be relaunched in a shitty book which has nothing to do with why we love him.
Oh god, it's like the first parasite Las Plaga from RE4!
Nice underpants.
The mask is a bit much, but God damn do I love me those stars.
>Ah, Quasar. And yet another good, yet tragically obscure comic book is discovered. Really kind of our gimmick at this point.
That's why these are the best threads in Cred Forums.
>He just seemed too bloodthirsty for someone claiming to be a creative force
WOW. Getting a head start on meta-bashing Image before Image was even a thing!
Thanks for running.
This suit is better sleeveless and maskless, but the new logo is already a great improvement.
Wendell playing Eon to whatshername Kincaid is a pitch with some promise, but man that should not be something that takes, what like 6 months at this point, to even get announced.
Here's Ringo drawing it
It's hard for me to see Wendell as a mentor. I feel like he'd just say "You're doing great, don't worry about it" a lot.
Wendell being too passive a mentor to be as effective as he needs to be is a solid character arc for him to work through as part of the book.
Sure, and having sequestered himself away in Pleasant Hill plays into that passivity. You can also make Avril Kincaid the opposite of Wendell as a SHIELD agent - fully with that killer instinct.
That would be great if someone devoted enough time and care to making it work.
Man, I identify with Wendell a lot, here.
have another favorite Wendell page
The Bart Simpson shirt really makes this page.
>this dad subplot
wew
Heh, "Buried Alien"
bump
...
No one could really draw a bishie Quasar like Capullo did. Hell, no one could even draw his star emblem correctly when it came down to it.
We might be a LEGION Police Procedural in space.
Which behaves precisely nothing like LEGION did.
>I must have flown
>So how come I don't have an air ticket on me
Oh fuck.
why are these threads never about the actual storytime?
They are occasionally (right?) but we're all demented by the board and industry at this point.
>Orlando joking about Jamm on twitter.
is this what it feels like when your generation comes to power?
It's really just the /gossip/ thread.
We could institute an on topic tax.
They're basically a gathering spot for the handful of people that actually read comics on Cred Forums to shoot the shit. The shelf threads often serve a similar purpose.
