    I want to like New Warriors so much.

    SO much, I want to like it. It has Jubilee! And Sofia!

    Unfortunately, it also has terrible art and subpar writing, so...

    I liked Paco Medina's art on 1-6...is he not drawing it anymore?

    No, he's still drawing it.

    And it's still hideous. EDIT: I'm a retard. He didn't do issue 7.

    So do you hate Medina's art as well or were you just mixing up artists?

    Oh, yeah. Pretty much everything in New Warriors has been painful to look at.

    The persecptive can be weird sometimes, but I kind of like the angular cartoony look. It sort of gives me a Humberto Ramos feel.

    The one thing that really really bothers me though is how they draw Ms. Marvel's domino mask.. it looks so silly

    I don't like Ramos' art, though. D:

    It's not NW. You're just insane.

    I flipped through it this week and saw there was a shitty fill-in artist. That was enough to convince me to stop picking it up.

    Really? For me it was "six issues of not knowing who anyone was, nor caring".

    Chamber and Jubilee I'm pretty most people are familiar with

    Stacy X I have no idea why she's there

    Sofia was from New X-Men

    everyone else was from Grant Morrisson's run

    and then of course Night Thrasher is the original Night Thrasher's brother.

    Man, I'm gonna stick with the book, but issue 7 more or less convinced me that New Warriors is gonna be canceled after the end of this new story arc. If Grevioux has some magical comic pixie dust, he needs to employ that shit ASAP. Re-introducing old NW villains sure as shit isn't the way to go right now.

    When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    Seriously, though. The first issue (aside from the art) was so good. I don't understand how it could have gone so downhill so quickly. :(

    Poor Jubilee and Sofia.

    The only part I liked about the first issue was the Thunderbolts fast food.

    Was there a stand-in artist for the latest Thor, or was it rushed out? For whatever reason, the art seemed to take a bit of a dip.

    Oh, and I agree with Hooray: even the first issue of New Warriors seemed fairly weak to me. That could be because I don't know any of the characters, but if prior knowledge of characters is necessary to make the first issue of a series enjoyable, I don't know what to say.

    Diamond Comics Publishing. Only really noteworthy that I saw was Conquest #3, Thunderbolts and Messiah Complex, if you are following it.

    Since you asked nicely, here's a bunch of random ones. I'm too lazy to rehost all the images (cant hotlink from my blogger images), so if you want the rest, it's pretty obvious where to go I guess.

    X-Men 206 stuff
    xmen206cuckoosprodigyow0.jpg

    Hot, blonde, lesbian identical triplets. If there is a god, this will be followed up on in New X-Men.


    xmen206bishopmr8.jpg

    This was probably already in this post, I'm too lazy to double check. Either way, Bishop. Bad guy. Evil future. Maybe mind control?


    Thor 5
    thor5mailbox1pg1.jpg

    Dear Thor, Loki's alive.

    thor5lokifemalewb4.jpg

    PS: He's a she.


    Barracude (also starring Punisher)
    pun53barracuda1ze5.jpg

    It's a big image. Punisher does mean things to my boy. Thankfully, Frank gets whats coming to him by the end of the issue, mothafucka.


    Batman 672
    batman672batmiteib6.jpg

    Grant is smoking some grade A crack. Most likely off a hookers ass.

    Green Lantern
    gl26alphasum1.jpg

    Alpha Lanterns. This is pretty much all we saw of them this issue.


    Taskmaster & Ant-Man with some Initiative guys or something.
    ai9antman2wt2.jpg

    you stepped on Stingray!

    ai9taskmaster1uo9.jpg

    Fuck ya, Taskmaster!

    ai9kimodohardball1wv1.jpg

    Komodo - definitely my fav Initiative member.


    Tired. Hate uploading to imageshack. Your welcome.

    That last panel is why in a fight you punch the bitch first.

    Did I say something offensive?

    No, but it's rather amusing given the shit Frank's been put through to be surprised at the pain his nemesis endures.

    For a non-superhuman to endure 45 straight minutes of having his balls hooked up to a car battery is just crazy. He's not going anywhere (unless Ennis is cutting and running because the dude is going to die, and that'd be fucking lame).

    I think that Barracuda, Punisher, and that guy from the first Max story-arc are like frickin' metas in terms of punishment absorbed. That little guy who's sister showed up a few arcs later was coming at Frank with a huge hunk of metal fence impaled through his entire body....that was hardcore.

    Constrictor: Shut that cunt's mouth or I'll come over there and fuckstart her head!

    The Initiative probably has my favorite cast of any comic, ever.

    Exactly.


    As for The Punisher, I don't doubt that what they endure is within the limits of normal human physiology. What the toughest (Frank and Barracuda especially) have going for them even further is a near-superhuman, but totally believable, will to live.

    He's probably out of practice, what with his getting stolen, and then him being KO'd for like a month or whatever.
