[2 Up 2 Down]

Yeah, I couldn't remember half the shyt that was happening on Doomsday Clock - and I have a great memory - it's gonna be a very different experience reading it once it's completed. I still think it's too early to tell how good it's actually going to be though.

I got on it kinda late so I read the first four issues in one setting and I thought it was dope but I think it was on here I was reading some negative reactions to it.
But you are right that it is too early to gauge how good it is until it's complete.

What made Age of Ultron trash exactly?

I just like the character and think Ultron is a cool villain (underutilized like a mf tho)

It was poorly written and completely plot driven.

If you want to read a good Ultron story then find the trade for the Ultron Unlimited storyline from the Kurt Busiek and George Perez run on Avengers.

I read the first 5 issues on Wednesday night and it is such a better experience reading it in one sitting as opposed to waiting in between each issue.

I hate trade style writing but it's a double edged sword, right.

I love being excited when new issues drop. Decompressed writing kills that momentum.

But then I also love sitting down and reading a 255 page story while I eat breakfast.

I've given up on reading Saga and East of West monthly, cause really, why bother

 

[Mr. Negative]

Yeah I meant LEGENDS

you're right. VERY right! wow. It was nagging me but I couldn't put a finger on it.

You got folks rioting over superheroes

a time lost legionnaire

Batman being beat up by a mob (it wasn't Batman who got beat up in Legends, but still)

Firestorm(s) being a focal point

you think Darkseid-

wait..... Who is Jon? J'onn!? Captain (obvious)Atom?

But nah, you think Jon chilling with Darkseid playing Chess with Phantom Stranger sitting on the side like ? It's easy to say there weren't any superpowered costumed folks on Watchmen World and Jon would feel more comfortable amongst DC's cape populace..... but there sure wasn't any Cosmic Abstracts (that we know of). Jon would feel like he found TRUE peers in New Gods, not costumed superheroes.



lastly, it was good to see old ass obscure names I haven't seen in years. Crimson Fox, who needs a Gambit crossover (), Celsius from Doom Patrol ()

 

[Mr. Negative]

sorry. Nerded out.

 

[Mr. Negative]

oh, and Killer Frost being a bytch (i love you louise *listens to "Baby Come Back" by Player*)

Ms. Marvel is so fire, brehs.

About to start volume 8: mecca.

What are the best ongoing series right now other than Ms. Marvel?

 

[GunRanger]

JUDGE DREDD: UNDER SIEGE #1 was pretty good. It's clearly taking cues from the movie for the plot, but still works on its own. Funny gag in the beginning with football being illegal in the future

I liked the infographic with the listing of the different countries super-teams.
That new Outsiders that Geo-Force has put together is like 85% villains.

 

[Jello Biafra]

oh, and Killer Frost being a bytch (i love you louise *listens to "Baby Come Back" by Player*)

And she's in the classic costume too which is my favorite look for Frost.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Bought the 4th World omnibus. Can't wait to read it...








Probably next year

For me; The Flash, Red Hood & The Outlaws & Daredevil

Tony filed the Larry Holmes papers for his mom

I really like how this panel is illustrated
