    Fantomex is for me in the Deadpool category in that only one writer has ever made him tolerable to me.

    He's really good in the current X-Force though

    The reveal that he

    Whatever came from the whole Fantomex/Cluster/Weapon XIII thing anyway? I read some of Humphries Uncanny X-Force but it was getting dumb so I tapped out after that mess.

    In the ongoing adventures of 'Paper reacts to Arrow stuff a year behind', man Laurel is doing everything in her power to be awful.

    They need to stop using her as "person who is always just uninformed enough to come to the wrong conclusion ". Like, every time. It's like a meme that if someone says something that can be misconstrued at the end of a sentence, she'll hear it, and only it.

    Edit: Oh wait, that's Thea.

    Thea I actually like now, which isn't something I would have even considered saying in season 1. But Laurel in season 2
    is spiralling while constantly pushing away everyone else, and being really mean-spirited to boot. The stuff with Sara is complicated, but screaming at her to leave (and throwing a glass at her) was way out of line.

    Also I kinda want to see the adventures of White Picket Fence Quentin: World's Happiest Detective, now.

    God's vengeance, is what it is

    For reals though what is good right now I need to read some comics

    @Blankzilla‌ @Centipede Damascus@Fearghaill‌ you know what I like

    Currently (and sporadically) reading New Avengers, Avengers and Avengers World at Marvel, and JL3000 at DC so I know they are good

    I still think ironic that what was probably Marvel's most critically acclaimed book at the time wound up being the book with the most haphazard release schedule in years. There's an accountant somewhere at Marvel who is pulling his hair out every time they go a month without a new issue.

    Anywho, I've been reading the early 2000 era Captain Marvel by Peter David and its not what I expected. There's the typical cosmic shenanigans that I'd expect, but there is a LOT of comic book inside baseball. Stuff that would later go on to make his She-Hulk run funny as hell, but here it feels kind of out of place. Also, it's super heavy on pop culture references - most of the time it's Rick Jones or Marlo crackin' wise, but occasionally it comes from weird places. Ronan the Accussor at one point literally says to Captain Marvel "You are the weakest link, goodbye."

    Inhuman I just haven't kept up with, but yeah I do like it

    Shutter doesn't look that interesting, Rumble certainly seems to have great looking art that grabs, Deadly Class has a good catch and is that Rick Remender's name I see there? Interesting.

    Cool, I'll have to pick that up

  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    @Solar‌ I'm under the impression that you've not been a fan of the new Captain Marvel, but I'd strongly suggest giving Kelly Sue's Bitch Planet a shot. It is to her Marvel stuff what Uber is to Young Avengers - writing with a belly full of justified anger and pulling absolutely zero punches, while still trying to handle a potentially sensitive subject without being exploitative. Dystopian scifi prison action with an aggressively feminist core.

    Also I'll keep on shouting about Ed Brubaker's Velvet whenever I can. It turns out "like a James Bond movie except not-007 dies on page 3 or so and then not-Moneypenny is the even more badass superspy hero of the book" is a great idea for a comic.

    I'm actually not sure what you really like off the top of my head!

    I would recommend Mighty Avengers, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and Inhuman though

    God yes. Mighty Avengers.

    I remember enjoying the first trade of Mighty Avengers

    Moon Knight I also enjoyed when Ellis was writing it (and I do like the character), is the new creative team any good?

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    They aren't quite on par with Ellis and Shavley but still pretty good

    I'm really excited for Cullen Bunn's run

    OH

    I heard good things about Magneto, I will look at that

    Just read Rumble #1

    art was really good, no idea what is actually supposed to be happening? Seems like maybe too decompressed in terms of storytelling. But I like the aesthetic and would like to see where it goes.

    Also just read X-Force #1

    Not sure about the art, sometimes it's great and sometimes I hate it. Everything is a very shiny grey and the faces are off, but the action sequences look quite cool. Fantomex seems a little flanderised compared to Remender's version, Betsy is still pretty cool, Cable I don't know and he seems pretty generic so far but I guess his personality is based a lot on his history which I am missing, I am sure he will be developed more. Marrow is, eh, I am not a fan. She's so wacky! Whatever.

    But the pace is good and the concept is nice, seems like I would read this one in trade format ideally.

    Solar on
  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    X-Force #1 was rough for me because starting out with things from Marrow's point of view is a bit of a shock to the system, but the payoff for that is great.
