I feel the same. I would rather they have scaled her part way back to the absolute minimum and used a mix of a stand-in, lighter-than-rogue-one CG, and low lighting to do just a few scenes with her to wrap the story up.

Conan's been great… and when the hulu live package comes to my fire tv stick, I shall watch it live!

He's old, which means we are also old!

I like the O5. I really enjoyed Bendis's run on X-Men until Battle for the Atom ended, after which it just became entirely directionless and decompressed to stall for time. Also his Uncanny was pretty rough going, and he never really got a handle on writing Emma Frost.

Why do you hate Charles Soule? I don't think he's the hot writer that the Big 2 and some of the fans portray him as, but I don't think he's terrible. His books are kind of light and jaunty.

Famously from the Rock Planet of Cleveland.

Colin Meloy looks so old now that it physically hurts me.

This dude sucks.

I think there's a rumor that Kimmel wants to retire when his contract is up in 2020 to focus on his family and writing/production. I wonder if this week of guest hosts is a stealth-audition.

I think Another One was technically an EP.

Yes, I absolutely agree with all of that. Given the stories he's been telling in Sam Wilson, I thought this would finally be the convergence point of the socially forward and progressive minded political storytelling going on in Sam Wilson with the weird alt-history of the Steve Rogers book. I for sure thought we were…

It's extra sad because he spent around a decade trying to break typecast and sort of denying the role, while now in days, landing a major sci-fi/fantasy franchise role is a standard part of the trajectory toward being a respected actor.

"I grew up watching Lazerhawk!"

I kept buying the Lantern titles after Johns left, but fell behind on them pretty quickly. I have all the Vendetti/Van Jensen/Soule/Jordan/Bunn era GL stuff in a short box and I plan on finally reading it all during some vacation time this summer.

Yeah, I'll come out and admit that I almost always buy Bendis and Johns #1s, and very rarely drop anything they write. Neither of them are the best or most innovative writers, but their stories are usually fun and colorful, and their worst work still usually creates some fun toys and concepts for better writers to…

I hope it will. I haven't been reading before now, but am looking to catch up on Batman/Detective and Superman/Action over the next few weeks. I know King backed out of writing this issue, so I wonder what his level of commitment to it is.

At one point, Grant Morrison, Hickman, or Mark Waid would get me to at least try whatever they wrote.

I'm not going to lie, I've been buying the Button issues just for the lenticular covers (it turns out I enjoy them when they're not on gimmicky throwaway villain and flash-forward one-shots), and now that DC is putting digital codes in their $3.99 and higher books, the Dark Days/Dark Knight stuff will be my first…

Stuff is happening in X-Men Gold, but the book is very light on storytelling and the things that have happened in the first 3 issues don't feel like they're going to have any real, lasting impact. But at the same time it's so detached from everything that anyone could jump in and read it. If anything, it seems like…

Is anyone else reading the new X-Men books? They've been surprisingly good, especially X-Men Blue. It's weird that not only did the quality of the X-Line turn on a dime, but most of the same creators are still involved but just shuffled around a bit. Cullen Bunn was writing the worst title in a very bad line, and is…
