    it just seems to me that they're not going to be able to sustain both a Sam book and a Steve book

    and there's no way they keep Sam instead of Steve

    I have worries that these kind of moves will form sort of soft cancellations on legacy characters.

    I think they'll be able to sustain them just fine

    Marvel has been cool with lower thresholds of sales for a while, 20kish is usually acceptable and Sam has been selling well above that and is a popular digital title

    looks a little too much like the design from Injustice, which isn't great imo

    I.... don't..... hate? That Suicide Squad trailer?
    It certainly strikes a better tone than the morose grimdark vibe I was getting earlier

    If I didn't hate that Joker so much I'd almost be interested in actually seeing it

    Oh yeah, it's not good

    But if it were pitched to like, Project Rooftop as a take on Flash that was tech based, I would nod and think it was neat

    I uh. Kinda liked that trailer a lot.

    Man, they are totally going for a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe with that trailer, aren't they?

    Anywho, it's not a coincidence we're getting Steve back as Cap when he has a movie coming soon. I imagine we'll see the Odinson as Thor and Banner as Hulk back before Ragnarok.

    you don't think that Steve's book will cannibalize a good amount of Sam's sales?

    Yeah, that's definitely the tone they needed to set.

    I'm actually interested now.

    The SS trailer isn't terrible or anything.

    It actually makes the movie look like it's fun, which is something the DCCU has sorely been short on.

    Is Steve back to his original self?

    We'll see if the final product matches the tone of that trailer though
    I remember how much I loved that first Man of Steel teaser

    if those are the level of jokes they have on offer I kind of hope it doesn't match the tone of the actual movie, to be honest

    A dark souls comic got announced!

    Which made me realize I want to see what Migola would do with that setting more than anything

    One thing I'm actually surprised about is that I know next to nothing about the story of the movie. All I know is who's in the squad, and that there's
    a Batman cameo.
    Normally these trailers spoil the shit out of everything.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    No, people have proven that they're fine with buying multiple books from the same family

    Multiple Avengers titles, multiple Guardians titles, multiple Spider-Man titles, etc.

    If it does cannibalize some sales it won't be a significant amount

    that trailer looks alright, certainly better than pretty much any of the BvS trailers

    but man the general reaction to Leto's Joker in this makes me kinda sick

  • Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan Registered User regular
    It's weird to me how out of place Joker feels in the trailer. I wish they had just gone without him altogether. Feelings toward Leto aside they just look like they're from different movies or something.

  • PaperLuigi44PaperLuigi44 My amazement is at maximum capacity. Registered User regular
    Spencer writing both Captain America books and Sam being in the new one is a good sign, but I'm still pretty cold on Steve becoming (a) Cap again.

  • GustavGustav Friend of Goats Somewhere in the OzarksRegistered User regular
    Yeah. Needless to say I'm not particular stoked about the Joker.

    You're right; that's totally Uatu on the right there.

    Yeah the Joker is just the least interesting part of all that, increasingly disappointed that he seems to have a big role in it. Other than that it doesn't look too bad.
