When's the next one out?
It's hard to take in all this nonsense.
Darkseid's daughter mainly, and i think i'm supposed to know more about this Anti-Monitor Mobius guy. wasn't he a green lantern guardian guy? It's been so long...
I am one with the paint, the paint is with me. I got my "holiday red" craft paint, time to see if i can close some of the gap the old fashioned way. Just gotta make sure i don't paint the hat part by accident because it's really tiny...
Midtown rolled over my Howard The Duck subscription to Deadpool the Duck so I'm stuck with one issue.

TheFlow remember when I said Claremont's post-Byrne run would be separate on that Top 100 Comic Runs well here it is
the amazing thing is that Claremont/Byrne is probably top 5 on this list. Like people just voted for that one block of 30 issues over the 100+ that came afterwards with Smith/Romita/Silvestri/Lee/etc

Haha, please refrain from answering. I treasure my GL omni that I bought from you too much to hit you with it.

I'm really sad Marguerite Bennett's Red Sonja run ended because it was great. I just tried to read the current run and not only is the dialogue horrible but Sonja is running around in a chainmail loin cloth that has nothing under it. What the shit she's nekkid

tbf that really laid the groundwork for it all
cuz its bad
(he's trying to do a kind of Morrisonian-style JLA where he's paring everyone down to their Most Essential Traits but can't make it work)

So the reasoning behind it being bad is because it's bad. Lol.

sometimes that's all that needs to be said
you can only write so many Green Lantern crossovers before your brain melts.

You can see ALL the colours, (that are on the Emotional Spectrum) maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
oh boy
Montress #9 - I read the first arc of this in trade form, and then started reading the new issues, but increasingly I think this series isn't really suited to being read in this format. The world that Marjorie Liu has created is so byzantine in its complexity that I find I have a hard time re-engaging with it on a monthly basis. It probably plays better in larger chunks.
Saga #41 - this arc feels like it peaked around the halfway point, but this series is just so consistently good. The strongest sequence in this particular one was the stuff with

Sophie and The Will, who have felt rather extraneous/absent from the narrative for a while. The moment with Lying Cat was very poignant.

I haven't been excited for a JLA comic since JLA Classified #3
It was alright...
Freeza how shocked would you be if I told you an Archie book was heavily delayed.

His Aquaman run was great, though, and it was written at the same time as his JL!

Archie comics now banned from all future Comic OTs.
The first Civil War was much worse.

at least the first one was somewhat interesting, like that was a kernel of an actual idea with substance in there
this was just...
nothing
just a long ass stupid ball of fuckin nothing

Well, it was another excuse for Marvel to shove Carol in everyone's fucking face, which is something they A) can't resist and B) have never had trouble with before.
For starters, he can't fucking write Wonder Woman. Also, maybe most of his creativity was being spent on Aquaman? His Aquaman run was amazing, leading up to Throne of Atlantis.

I feel the same way. I read the first arc as singles, and dropped it with the plan of picking up future arcs in trade.

I do fine with Monstress reading it monthly. I had much bigger issues trying to read books like Manhattan Projects or Black Science outside of trades.
The first one was offensively bad, while the second was bad from a weak story.

So much this.
It was just "well, we have a movie this year and it's the 10th anniversary of the first one, so...."

Was that the Ellis issues? Or the end of Morrison's arc?

that was the last Morrison one, although I remember liking the Giffen/McGuire and Ellis issues afterwards
