I want somebody who isn't KSD on Cap Marvel because I'm tired of her spinning her heels on a story that nobody gives a shit about.
Which sucks because she started the whole Danvers revival, but ugh ugh the book had been stale for months now and she's not doing anything with the character at all.
You're not wrong.
I like the characters that are happening, but the plot is utterly unengaging and I'd really like some larger arcs to be put into place to get interested in.
And I'm still annoyed by the ending of Enemy Within.
About 6 months ago I bought the first volumes of Sex Criminals, Saga and Fatale on a whim thinking I might get into comic books. I owned a few trades but had no significant collection.
Now I have two bookshelves worth, one shelf is Marvel the other is Image mostly with a bit of DC, Vertigo, Dark Horse, Oni Press and IDW. I am really happy I got into them, while its been kind of expensive some of my favorite stories and characters I've ever read or seen have come from these new books. Plus, it's given me another connection with my Dad who read comics when he was young (and still does sometimes, he really likes The Walking Dead and Y: The Last Man). Now I've started to try to get him to read the stuff I love.
It's also made me appreciate the Marvel movies and Agents of SHIELD even more.
I know how you feel.
I went from having very few comics (basically videogame licensed tie-ins and some Transformers comics) to having six full shelves of trades in the span of two years. To the point where I'm having to look at rearranging my room to make space for more comics.

Man, as much as I want a Captain marvel movie for the sake of getting a Captain marvel movie, I know that we need to get that first in order to pave the way for a ms marvel tv show. It could be so perfect...
no seriously are there some rights issues or something how has an intellectual property as enduring as the matrix not had a movie in 11 years
Seriously
They've used the characters in fuckin' car commercials in the last two years!
And since when have they let things like "time" or "previous quality" get in the way of a reboot
They made a new Spider-Man AND a new Terminator
There's that ad for GE medical software that has Hugo Weaving reprising the Smith role
I think it was the first one to use the characters again, before the Morpheus Kia ad, and the first time I saw it I thought I'd fallen into a time warp
On another note, the other day I met a Mormon missionary who was introduced to me as Sister Anderson and it took all my willpower not to go full Agent Smith and keep pronouncing it as Siiiiisterrrrr Anderrrrrrsonnnn
it was a weird reflex to have to suppress

I am pretty dismissive of the argument "This characters power would be way to expensive for tv" but
Ms. Marvel's power would be way to expensive for tv.
I think after seeing CW successfully pull of The Flash on a smaller budget than any major network would have I'm skeptical of almost any superhero's power being too expensive for TV
Stretchy powers seem pretty hard to do. Mr. Fantastic's powers looked the worst in the Fantastic Four movie. They haven't done growth powers much. More complex forms of shapeshifting are probably hard to do.

Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't change how absolutely perfect Ms Marvel would be for tv.

The big shift in her costumes was New 52, which happened a bit after Arkham City I think - may have my timelines off but it definitely seemed like the Arkham games were a big influence.
I saw Guardians again on Friday one last time before it leaves theaters. It still makes me laugh so much that I tear up. Very few movies, hell, very few anythings have ever done that to me.

The pilot does too many closeups of him running while looking super intense but the second episode cut way back and did a lot more wide shots which generally look really good

So, uh, I read vol. 1 of Afterlife With Archie in one night yesterday
Holy shit that does not pull any punches
And ohmygod the art is good. I especially LOVED the page when
Archie kills his dad, with the scenes from his childhood spliced between panels of him swinging the bat. Really well done.
And I know you guys were talking about issue #4 a while back and how it sets you up for heartbreak, but I uh.... I still wasn't ready for it.
I think I'm going to wait for the second volume to come out before I read more of it, though. It feels like it's better suited for longer sessions, and I have some single-issue pulls to occupy me until then. Still catching up on other stuff anyways.
Issue 4 of alwa is the biggest response a comic has ever gotten out of me
I think mine was the second to last issue of the Dimension Z arc of Captain America
but it was me yelling OH FUCK YOU RICK so it's probably a different kind of thing
My favourite gag in the second Flash episode was every time he'd drop someone off at super speed and the actors would just do a little jump forward with a startled look on their face. Simple, but effective! Also it's a great setup -- I'm looking forward to later in the season, when a supporting character is dropped off with a "God damnit, Barry" because they're just so used to him pulling that stunt by that point.

Dragon Ball reference. Yep, I'm in.

I grabbed Ms. Marvel and Afterlife with Archie as well. So good!!!

Oh God
I don't think I would have had the restraint.
They're good at what they do.
And that's being pedantic.
She actually used therapy to talk Lobo and out killing her and Green Arrow one time.
Or was she that way before? When did they start to move away from the actual harlequin costume?
The character design in the Arkham games is pretty bad across the board, but the female characters are downright horrible.
sweet, wish-listed
I hope the Blu-ray had lots of special features.
you can set up your pull list and follow other people to see what your friends are reading all stuff like that
I think it's a neat idea, but it's definitely still very much in beta
Wait what
That looks just as awful as Smallville's superspeed did
I mean, they "pull it off" insofar as they get the point across, that this guy is fast, but it looks so bad.
That was top notch work for network TV!
His fight with Multiplex was rad as hell
But that big clone fight was rad
And as long as they don't rely too heavily on those close-up frontal shots of him running in place, it looks great
The wide shot of him approaching the tornado in the first episode looked awesome

AoS had some really dire effects last season but it has gotten so much better. Absorbing Man looked fantastic
A few weeks ago I just came up with a similar website concept and started work on it.
Now I'm mad. I'm going to build my own website anyways! With blackjack! And hookers!

If I can barely handle We3 , should I even go near Afterlife?
Well, we've only seen two episodes. For all we know, they could be doing a ton of bottle episodes to save money for the effects heavy ones.
