How's it look in third person? I get pretty motion sick from FPS type stuff, but I thought Fallout 3 and New Vegas' options outside of that didn't look too great. Skyrim was much improved. I'm hoping it's more in that vein.

It's probably my favorite "Morrison talks about the nature of comics" comic since Flex Mentallo or maybe even Animal Man, though the multiverse is absolute cat-nip for me and I like that its a bit of an exercise in different superhero storytelling modes.

Will do, I think King and Orlando are two of the more talented young writers at the publisher right now, so I remain excited for those two entries despite how rough these were.

Vision - maybe the most interesting Marvel comic published since Fraction wrapped Hawkeye. Tom King crafts a surprisingly existential tale here, and continues to prove why he's probably one of the best comic scribes working right now.

Outside of his nice team-up with Andrea Sorrentino on Green Arrow, I'm not sure that Lemire's superhero work has ever eclipsed "workmanlike", which is too bad, he's very talented. One look at Essex County, Sweet Tooth, etc…proves all that.

Where's the Jay of Earth-1? I'm not sure the comics have ever even addressed that (ya know, when there was something to address pre-Crisis and now Post-New 52).

And both films add up to two of the bigger disappointments of the year, no coincidence there.

The second half of this film is an utter faceplant, which is a shame because the first hour feels like a direct extension of where Skyfall was headed. But the need to connect all the films, as you say, hinders more than it helps. Bond works best in stand-alone adventures, not an ongoing narrative.

I'll be interested to see how they wrote themselves out of this situation…do you exile the radicals? Kill them all? Wipe their minds so they don't remember they're Zygons? Or give in to their demands and have Zygons wandering around Earth openly?

Was not a fan at all, a prime example of Ellis doing some lazy cash-in work for the Big Two.

I think Casanova is easily the best thing Fraction has done, and Ody-C is at the very worst, a pretty noble attempt at something quite fascinating (I have to jump into the new arc still)….but I just have the hardest time getting on board with Sex Criminals. It prioritizes its humor over storytelling and if you aren't…

Morning Glories was fine for about 15 issues or so…but then it quickly devolved into tedium IMO.

If you haven't read any of that Grayson stuff, you really should by the way. It's the best current run at DC I think.

Yes, Spencer is largely hit and miss. He's got a decent niche in Ant-Man and Superior Foes (though neither did much for me), but his straight superhero storytelling is as bland as it gets. Al Ewing is probably the closest to being in King's league right now.

They replaced him with the worst possible writer, so that's an instant turn-off for me, but I get the appeal of the art for sure.

The Aaron written version is great, but he's not going to be writing the regular series.

You think so? I saw a lot of new names when they launched all those books in June, and they're still around and adding a few more here and there. I think Marvel and DC are on pretty equal footing, though Marvel keeps trying to make Sam Humphries and Dennis Hopeless happen, for some reason

Tom King is maybe the best superhero comics writer going right now between Grayson and Omega Men. He's got a unique storytelling style and isn't averse to throwing an audience into the deep-end. This looks intriguing and I can't wait to crack open Sheriff of Babylon.

I'm not sure there's much of a puzzle there tbh

I sure wish they'd recast Alex though…yeesh, she was terrible this first time out.
