Wait that's who they decided to replace him with?? Are they just not wanting people to read it? My goodness

 

Dude must just always hit deadlines, be easy to work with, and not make a measurable difference on sales, in spite of how much we on the Internet hate his work, lol.

On the plus side, sneaking poorly traces & integrated women’s faces from magazine covers into art is still better than sneaking antisemetism into art! So, if getting Land on Kang is the cost so Bennett can get fucked, so be it I guess.

 

Man is Bendis' Superman run bad. He writes a fine Superman, but the entire story of Rogol Zarr and Jor El is just...awful.

And the way he writes Lois just comes off as...icky.

 

Anybody reading Mazebook by Lemire? Reading the first issue now

 

Yeah I dug the first issue. Seems like Lemire’s got another winner

 

His use of color and backgrounds are incredible

 

Read the FCBD issue of Stray Dogs as well that was super cool

 

Can’t say I was expecting to learn that Kareem is a big Scott Snyder guy today.

 

Wow my love of the Lakers and comics unites. Love to see it!

 

Jeff Lemire killing it with another new series, Primordial. Love that he's still working with Sorrentino, who has become a favorite of mine.

 

Maddie Pryor drawn by Peach Momoko. So good.

 

Her artwork is so gorgeous. Loving the Demon Days issues as well

 

Yeah, I’m excited for the next Demon Days with her version of Storm and Thor. It’s been so cool so far. So glad she does interiors.

When I saw somewhere that she has a past in tattooing, it made so much sense. Her style’s such a compelling blend of that, Japanese illustration, and European comics. The European influence puts her in a similar space as Emma Ríos, who’s European with Japanese influences, and that’s dang good company, lol.

 

Yeah, very excited for the next one.

I'm not sure if I know of that artist. What has she worked on?

 

Emma Ríos? Her big series is Pretty Deadly, with Kelly Sue DeConnick and Jordie Bellaire at Image. She’s also done a couple Doctor Strange stories, a 3-issue Cloak & Dagger mini, and other miscellaneous Marvel, Image, and DC stuff.



She’s got a lot of, like, Moebius and Miyazaki influence in her stuff. If Peach Momoko did some pen and ink pages with a more traditional color artist, it’d probably end up in similar territory.

 

Awesome! I've been wanting to check out Pretty Deadly. That page is some top tier art.

 

Wow, stellar end to Donny Cates Babyteeth. I started the series way before I loved Cates who has now become a favorite. Between that and Supergirl it was a pretty emotional day for my pull.

The X-Men love elephants.

 

Glad to see Scott is still a true diplomat

 

Babyteeth was absolutely wonderful. Glad that story got the ending it deserved. Can't wait to go back and read it again.

 

@Tim I know you mentioned in the X-Men thread you haven't read Last Annihilation, but if you like Wiccan and Hulkling you should read the Last Annihilation one shot about them. It's a lovely read.

 

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on that a couple times and then decided for whatever reason not to. If I don’t have a ton in my pull box next week, I should just grab it, lol.

I don’t know if Marvel has concrete plans for those characters, but if not, I don’t mind them just getting these tie-in one-shots here and there. Do a couple more, and they’ll be able to throw ‘em all into a single trade paperback whenever Marvel Studios finally does whatever they’re planning with them.
