    This is not confirmed but the accused harasser seems to be Eric Esquivel, writer of Vertigo's Border Town. He has deleted all of his social media and he managed a comic shop that she listed as a former employer.

    Which

    Is a pretty bad look given Vertigo is launching its new book by Zoe Quinn this week

    They need to addres this ASAP

    Aquaman's at 78% on Rotten Tomatoes after 46 reviews

    Summaries seem to be "it's alright, and Momoa's entertaining"

    Post-JL I was more cautious about if Momoa would do a good job here. If he's the big positive everyone's taking away, I'm looking forward to seeing this as soon as I can (the 26th maybe? no chance I'm getting to my mall theater days before Xmas)

    Aquaman digital trades for 5 bucks

    The John Arcudi Sub Diego stuff and Abnett's stuff (especially Underworld and beyond) are both really good and worth picking up

    I'm of the opinion that that hasn't been a single bad Aquaman run since the New 52 launched all the way to the present.

    Bad? Yeah I agree, there have been some middling ones though. It has been very consistent for sure

    Is there s reason why Mera’s hair is like bright electric red in the Aquaman previews?

    Like is it supposed to reflect her magic, or is it just a bad wig?

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    She usually has Capital R Red hair in the comics so they decided to keep it

    I like it, honestly

    It doesn't look natural but the movie is bright and colorful and ridiculous and it fits

    Normally, I’d agree, but I think maybe it’s just reminding me of Inhumans

    It’s kind of the same effect of Hemsworth’s hair in the first Thor, but more, because Red

    I think the movie Aquaman reminds me the most of is "Flash Gordon" with some "Guardians of the Galaxy" mixed in. It's over the top, fully embraces the comic book source material, and is not afraid to get weird and cheesy.

    CW released the teaser themselves right after the episode aired and it is all over the Nerd Sites so it's not really spoiler territory

    Well considering I had not finished watching it yet ( still haven't, actually), I'd say it is. At the very least, it should have been tagged because I would not have seen it otherwise.

    Oh my GOD

    So Batman: Damned was bad, even with the Penis Reveal

    It was needlessly grim and edgy and tried to make modern TWIIIISTED versions of all the magical DC characters

    Well

    Issue 2 came out

    And this is apparently what Brian Azzarello thinks MODERN EDGY ETRIGAN should be

    He re-read his "Doctor 13: Architecture and Morality" and mistakenly thought his then-snide take on how characters can survive the publisher's axe was actually earnest advice.
