    I loved the possible revelation in FF#13
    That we may be getting a baby/kid watcher, who would then hopefully end up on the future foundation. Because how fun would that be!

    My match was all of Sex Criminals #1 (yeah, I know I'm late on it).

    Pretty Deadly was also really good.

    Pretty Deadly is a fantasy Western about Death's daughter hunting down evildoers, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated by Emma Rios.

  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    DeConnick and Rios is basically the next Fraction and Aja in terms of creative chemistry - the book is absolutely gorgeous and while it was only the first issue and had a ton of setup/exposition to do, it did so in a really creative and interesting manner.

    Sounds a bit like East of West.

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    Little bit, except that it's set in the actual Old West and not a dystopian alternate past future America, and the Apocalypse isn't happening

  • GustavGustav Friend of Goats Somewhere in the OzarksRegistered User regular
    It has an a very grimey folklorish feel too. Which with Emma Rios on the art, it's got the rough-hewn look for it too. It's an absurdly good-looking book.

    Anyhow, this thread needs a moment from this week's Young Avengers #11

    Loki and Leah have a nice phone chat!

    That last page you had there makes me think that Prodigy is Marvel's Nightwing.

    Spider-Girl to Troll?

    Yeah I don't get that connection either.

  • AmiguAmigu Registered User regular
    Maybe Troll has been on the tune. Do you guys feel like this was meant to be a spread and was chopped down? It was wedged in between ads which made me think they lost a page to advertisements.

    All in all this YA issue was GREAT.

    Guys this is a rather sad looking MOTW thread, let me help a bit.

    Unfortunately the MOTW worthy bits from my favorite issue of this week, Sex Criminals #2 are NSFW and I can't post them.

    I can post this moment from Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #5 though, as Spock gives his latest plan a field test.

    Even though I already loved Jason Aaron's work, if you had told me pre-Wolverine and the X-Men that he would somehow make me not even just not hate Quentin Quire anymore, but actually turn him into one of the best characters in this current generation of X-Men, I would have laughed at you.

    And yet.

    Well it wasn't that they lost a page to advertisements, they just chose not to make it a double page spread because they wanted the space to keep the somber tone of the issue.

    Somehow I assumed there could only be one with that distinctive getup. I mean. Two Spider-Man villains with the same hairstyle? What are the odds? And, I mean, couldn't Sandman have any hair he wanted, and he chose that?

    I think that was the go-to short/curly hairstyle design back in the day. Add old school limited colour palette to the mix, and you get a few characters that look the same.*

    Mysterio still imprisoned in the Ultimate universe?

    It's Mysterion, a dude Kingsley gave Beck's gear to. Appeared in an earlier Avenging Spider-Man story.

  • Doctor DetroitDoctor Detroit Registered User regular
    Also, Byrne retconned it to make Osborn and Sandman related. Not sure if that got re-retconned, or just ignored.

    I really liked Velvet #1, if only the new Moneypenny could even be close to that cool (I really hated the new Moneypenny in Skyfall). It's one of Brubaker's most evenly paced issues I've read in a long time.

    Pretty Deadly #1, very very pretty, but the story hopped around a bit too much trying to have that stilted structure with an outside narrator while the story still goes on, and I kind of missed something at the end that wasn't really clear:
    Sissy and blind dude are on their own, they shoot that guy who shot at them, and then when he realizes Big Alice is after that book they're now all riding together? Like, what? If they were all traveling together the panels don't really show that, as Sissy and blindman are kind of by themselves around the campfire and then you see the other three pop up.

    Probably trade wait PD, definitely sticking with Velvet.

    Pretty Deadly sounds awesome, but as is my way, I'll have to wait/hope for a trade paperback. Yes yes, single issue this, digitals are awesome that. That's just how I roll.

    First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

    My read on Pretty Deadly:
    Fox is well-known around there as an eccentric old blind guy with mysterious abilities, and the young gunman, who was camped out separately from Fox and Sissy, was just fucking with him, testing to see if the legends about him were true.

    Fox gathers them all up because he knows them, and knows they don't deserve to die just for being jackasses.

    I dunno, I quite liked the weird flow of Pretty Deadly. It leaves some questions for the reader to figure out, but I think that's a good thing. It introduces the characters through their actions, rather than a bunch of exposition.

    Finally got to open up Velvet. Damn if it didn't have me hooked by that last page. I love a good spy novel and this looks like it has potential to be great.
