Anyway, holy shit look at this Punisher preview.
Look at that hang glider
YESSSSS
Remender is awesome and Boschi rocks.
Word. Even when trying to be altruistic it comes across egotistical. Which is what I love about Pym.
"All women need my help"
"I can build fucking heaven yo"
"The whole universe says i'm king scientist"
Also just how rediculously over-dramatic it is. "Protect all women in the name of Wasp." "Build heaven for my dead friend." Tim Seeley has Hank Pym down perfectly. Honestly Eric is a better superhero than Hank Pym. At least he is aware of his own issues. The issues Hank Pym is aware of aren't what he needs to be worried about at all.
I imagine him fighting some female supervillain, when suddenly he realizes that he must protect all women in Jan's name!! Cue classic EC Comics close-up on his horrified face, complete with dramatic lighting.

oh man
can't not picture that now
Hey Douglas, I'm curious: why do you sometimes say "comix" and at other times "comics"? At first I thought that you used "comix" to refer to underground, indie, creator-owned stuff and "comics" for more mainstream things (as I understand it, this was the nomenclature back in the 70s or whatever), but now I'm not sure if I'm correct.
Yes, and it is a beautiful thing.
Glossed over the actual word balloons, but it looks like Yu's altered his style a bit. The female in the preview doesn't have the usual face from all his past excellent work like High Roads, Avengers, SI, Birthright, etc.
It's not as pronounced a shift as Larocca's has been in changing styles.
Thanos Imperative #5 has a nice twist in it, looking good.
2) Thanos Imperative yeah!
Boourns to that
Pere Perez had to fill-in for 10 pages, smells of last minute rewrites.
Speaking of delayed Batman comics, I asked Cameron Stewart about Batman And Robin #16.
He's splitting art duties with Frazier Irving because DC didn't mention in advance that it was 32 pages, not 22. Whoops!
Interesting how between the fashion, the medical technology and the street we saw last issue, this seems to take place in some weird 20th century mishmash since Bruce's origin pretty much always has to stay roughly 20 years in the past from any given moment.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."

I love the art, and putting T'Challa in an urban context is always interesting (I really enjoyed what I read from the Priest run).
It's a little off-putting to have the villain treating Panther like he's a small fry compared to Daredevil, though. Hopefully they don't tone down Panther's abilities too much to fit the lower-level threats he's facing, and instead find a way to build the Hell's Kitchen crime syndicates up.

I couldn't, for the life of me, begin to understand the point of taking a king and sticking him in Daredevil's territory as a replacement street-level vigilante. What I know of T'Challa, I'm not even aware of who he was before he was king of Wakanda. I just assumed that's what he always was, so, this choice seemed jarring and ill-fitting to me.
Yet, storywise (and also artwise) that preview won me over. And although I've never really believed in such things in the past, this attracts me as one of those much-vaunted 'starting points' for new readers to get into the character. I think this Panther storyline might also serve as an excellent counterpoint to my Batfixation, themewise.
EDIT: I have to wait until December for this? Damn.

Batroc is about to have one hell of a headache going by that cover.
I like the writing and art for the most part, with two quibbles: Occasionally Seeley draws men's hands all tiny, and that studded collar on Tigra looks stupid.

I'm really looking forward to this mini. I just finished re-reading Irredeemable Ant-Man and i'd forgotten how well O'Grady was written in that, especially the last issue, and it seems this series is at least a little in keeping with his previous characterisation.
But yes, the studded collar looks stupid.
wow
Without that collar ("What collar?" :whistle:Badoom-CHING!:whistle:) she isn't wearing enough fabric to legally be shown in an all ages comic book.
O'Grady's antman armor looks wrong.

Anyway I am also really looking forward to this book as well. Seems like it's going to be lots of fun.
I wasn't even sure that Marvel knew of the existence of furries, that it was confined to the internet
but then, Devo's official website has a "Devotee Furry" photo album, so I shouldn't be surprised by anything
...is it just me or is Steve sporting some serious chin there?
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
That would have been a better comic.
WHEN DID THUNDERSTRIKE COME BACK
YESSSSSS
Had the exact same thought. I was like 'good call eric, good call. But wild rhinos won't understand your sass'
Walking dead 78
D: face put in ink.
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
