Is there a not so well kept secret about that kind of stuff?

 

Who knows how bad it is beyond Berganza. Considering how small the comics industry is, though, and how much of a boys club in a lot of places, there being a lot more wouldn't surprise me. I mean, heck, look at the Jesse Lacey situation.

 

Also, this observation is depressing:

No wonder that whole "artist-driven" branding of new titles spinning out of Metal conveniently has no women.

 

Brian Wood’s awfulness has been an open secret and something I talked about earlier in this thread.

 

Forgot about him. When I see his name, I remember there being a reason I try to avoid him but never recall why. Didn't he write that all-women X-Men book initially illustrated by Coipel? I adore the cover art to that first issue and hate that someone so gross wrote that (instead of, you know, maybe a woman).

 

Picked this up for $15 today. I haven’t read much of the older Batman stuff so I’m excited to check it out. Whenever I manage to get around to it that is haha.

 

A little late

 

"little"

 

This is crazy. The allegations are old. They have known about them for a long time and have taken steps to ensure that he is not alone with women.

This is such a hollow step. :/

The higher ups who didn’t act are the ones who
Need to be under review

 

It's a cop out answer due to pressure, but if cop out answers due to pressure can slowly make the industry just a little safer for women, I'll take it (while obviously demanding more).

Hopefully this begins the process of women and other vulnerable creators feeling safe coming forward, and their testimonies being believed and acted on.

 

It’s just frustrating for them to spin it as if this is new information that they are now processing.

Bleeding Cool has been writing articles about this man for YEARS.

But it will be satisfying to see the creeps be forced out of the industry I love. Bring it on.

 

Reminder to @BackyardHero11 and @Deanna to get me your Justice League Further Reading blurbs!

 

I have no strong attachment to these first two characters revealed, but Namor and a Wakandan mutant should have some good chemistry. Also, that one silhouette is totally All-New Wolverine, which I assumed would happen with her not on any current teams and Tom Taylor writing this, but nice to get semi-confirmed. That's totally Nightcrawler's 3-digit hand, too, right?

 

Oops. Sorry! Got all caught up in job interview stuff (hoping to hear back on a part-time job at Apple today or tomorrow) so my brain has been mush. I'll have it to you in a few hours.

 

Full roster. Dig Laura's new costume. Not the most exciting roster, but I'm still somehow pretty into this series.

 

I don't recognize the two additions.

 

The Goddamned is so good. The oversized edition looks gorgeous (and is also pretty damn cheap)

 

So excited for that roster because of how diverse the team is and its not the same tired characters slapped together with a new name. Don't get me wrong, I love the long standing characters but there are so many unused mutants in limbo still. It bums me out characters like Gentle have been doing nothing for years. Not the biggest fans of creating new mutants right now for that reason, but the character sounds promising. I just love the X-Men and v passionate lmao

I work as a counselor as a detox center over night as a counselor. Last night I had my iPad with me with Marvel Prime on, and a client asked what I was doing. I told them I have been rereading Claremont's on Uncanny, and that clicked with them They used to love comics, so I let them use it to read some newer books!!!

 

So DC fired Eddie Berganza.

Good riddance. Too bad it’s like years after it should have happened.

 

Will have it to you tomorrow, the 14th!

 

Today at HPB, I got the complete Morrison JLA run (in the older trade collections), the last volume I needed of X-Statix (vol 3, which is OOP and usually somewhat pricey online), and Spider-Man: Identity Crisis.

Total money spent on all of that? Just over $50. Just under a dollar per issue collected in said trades.

You just can't beat a good HPB trip.

 

Does Morrison use a ton of characters in JLA? One of my biggest complaints about team-ups is that there is too much. I hear nothing but good things about the book, but I'm still reluctant.

 

the premise of Morrison’s JLA relaunch was to use the “main 7”: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter.

It’s fairly limited to those 7, but not exclusive to them.
