Or better yet, just uses the pages of that book because that'd be a better use than reading them.

I'd prefer to buy the product from the same franchise that is just a Beyonce clone.

Fuck Blankets. Maybe I've read worse comics, but I think that's the only one I really despise. Or at least did, to be honest it's been a while since I read it and I'm a little less aggressive about it now. But still, fuck that book.

Yeah, and I've found it more enjoyable since they've moved away from the more photorealistic stuff with Cassaday. I've been particularly enjoying the artist(s?) in this most recent arc. I think there was some big sun or something and it looked so impressive. I wish the main series had a more clear and consistent…

Eh, I found the stuff Chris Yost did with Runaways to be a little simplistic in the Civi War Young Avengers crossover. Also, I think it was the first instance of them getting involved in adults' affairs before the characters were, as far as I can tell, slowly watered down and spread across the Marvel Universe as…

Yeah in retrospect borderline offensive is definitely overboard. I just meant it seemed a bit trite to compare the gay couples. I think I just felt like I wanted to have a security net in case it backfired. Can I pull the "it's late because of timezones and I don't even remember that half an hour later" excuse?
Anyway,…

I like Gillen's probably because I like him as a writer, but I see what you mean about the dissatisfaction. I've given all of them a shot, but they all seem so content with no risks. I haven't read Shattered Empire or Chewbacca, but I did think Lando and Leia worked because they felt like they had some 'heart', unlike…

I guess the important thing about Runaways is that maybe it came at a time of few new creations. But I feel like it was a bit too late to be completely unique in introducing new characters considering the Marvel Knights and Max stuff had already happened. Either way, I think something 'inorganic' probably came off as…

I mean, in actuality there's 42 issues by BKV, 6 by Whedon, and then I think 14 more after that. And I reckon the Whedon stuff is pretty great so that's maybe 14/62 of throwaway? Plus @halfwaytoheaven (that's how you tag people right?) says the other stuff (Kathryn Immonen's which I've never read before so I can't…

How is Hastings? I'm always up for some Loki and Vote Loki sounds interesting, but I don't want to get my hopes up for some random dude.
He is set to write that, yeah?

I can't wait until Marvel realise they killed off Namor for no reason and have to pull a half-assed revival coincidentally just when he seems necessary to a story.

Is this a What Have You Been Reading This Week thread? It is now.
I've been re-reading Runaways for the first time in a few years and I've just finished BKV's last issue. I think the general wisdom is that series peaked in the first volume as that was a self contained story, but I think the team's storytelling just got…

More like enTITy am I right? No? Please end me.

My fav was Hank Pym. I don't know if he's ever been that extreme a pacifist in the comics, but it really worked for me in that cartoon. Plus I thought the Yellowjacket arc was fascinating and a little edgy, but in retrospect it was pretty underdeveloped I think.

I know this is a late response, but a fictional creation isn't really a non-entity, at least not in the eyes of all.

Even the description doesn't make the women sound interesting. Torn between two men moving in opposite directions? Ugh.

Aang? I disagree, he's a reluctant hero, kind of the opposite of Cap's origin story.

Yeah, I found Soule's Swamp Thing enjoyable, but I doubt I'll ever love him as a writer. Between this and She-Hulk, he can write stuff I like to read, but I guess the characterisation never goes beyond a certain point to make it engaging to me. I think his comics are totally serviceable though, and I like them as…

New Spider-Woman from Hopeless and Rodriguez. Great stuff, all of the parenting stuff felt super authentic, not that I would know. But there was this one bit where Hawkeye kept on having this icon representing his thoughts of a heart with an arrow in it, and I feel kind of dumb because I have no idea what it was meant…

Is there going to be a hardcover? I've been wanting to get into Prophet for a few months but so close to its end, I figured I'd just wait for some sort of hardcover.
