The next LoEG spinoff has been announced and is scheduled for a March release: quote:Sixteen years ago, notorious science-brigand Janni Nemo journeyed into the frozen reaches of Antarctica to resolve her father's weighty legacy in a storm of madness and loss, barely escaping with her Nautilus and her life. The Twilight Heroes were Dr. Caligari, Mabuse, Rotwang, and Maria.

Oh wow Alan Moore is doing a straight up comic? When is the last time he has put out anything similar to this?

I'm finally all caught up with Rat Queens and the first three issues were really cool and good. If you haven't read it, you probably should.

I don't want to sound like an ad blurb or anything, but seriously, I hope you're buying Fraction and Zdarsky's Sex Criminals. It's hitting on both writing and art, and so far at least, coming out in a timely fashion. The two main characters have been really fun to read. It will be interesting to see where Fraction goes as the cast expands. I really think he handles a small cast better than a large one in general.

Should probably bump this, ton of huge announcements today, I wasn't able to keep up with them all. Brubaker/Phillips wrapping Fatale at 24, on to a new series. Fraction launching more Casanova with Moon, back ups by Michael Chabon and Ba. Kelly Sue DeConnick launching Planet Bitch and announced more Pretty Deadly. New series by Remender I think. Morrison and Burnham doing a horror comic called Nameless I think? Jock and Scott Snyder doing a horror comic as well. Check your local comic site for all the deets.

Happy! was garbage, but Burnham is always good news, I was afraid that he was stuck at DC doing one-off Batman comics or something. Casanova with Chabon on cover is finally going to be profitable, that is awesome. Anthology project by Brandon Graham crew is still the most interesting thing, obviously.

Gillen/McKelvie are doing a new thing as well that's supposed to be a less cynical take on Superheroes as Celebrities. Also, Phonogram 3!

Kegelface is a great name, Suzy's introduction of her was great, and Rachel's grounding the thing in a really neat way. "Pointer for all you kids out there. If rubbing one out puts you into a state of frozen time, maybe don't get high in it."

Has Koyama Press always been distributed by amazon? Or is this a new thing? Because there's a lot of really good stuff here. Mostly I'm surprised to see a Lose collection. I didn't know anything like that was coming out.

poo poo anyone can write a loving Crossed book. Look, here are the first pages of Crossed: Deliverance by me right now Page one panel one: A scared looking woman and her husband are sneaking though what looks like an old theme park. Woman: I hope the those monsters aren't here. Page one panel two: a CROSSED man jumps out. He's really fat and gross and covered in blood. Rest of pages: the CROSSED kill the husband with weird things you wouldn't think are weapons like children's toys or power tools while the woman runs away crying and hides. -fin- Okay Avatar I'll be expecting a check in the mail.

fatherboxx posted:Happy! was garbage Happy was the best Garth Ennis comic in years and that was kind of the point. It was Morrison doing A Very Garth Ennis Christmas, and it ruled. Lurdiak posted:I don't know if it's cool or not, but boy howdy did I hate it. I can see how some would like it, but I can't see how it would be considered something difficult to top. 80s video game references and applying the basic formula of comedy/romance manga and anime to a modern setting with swear words? That can't be the height of someone's creative output. It's pretty rad to watch a bunch of manchildren fall all over a book about a manchild only for the last volume to go "Also nobody loving likes the character you adore, because he refuses to grow up and that's irritating as gently caress, grow up assholes".

Saying it was the best Ennis book at the same time Ennis was putting out Fury Max or sticking the landing on Boys is just baffling.

Zachack posted:Just because it has Darick Robertson and swearing doesn't make it an Ennis book. I thought Happy was pointless and uninteresting with poor plotting and dialogue that managed to make four issues feel like two too many, but if you can defend it then by all means I'd love to read how it's some hidden genius. Yeah Happy may have been Morrison doing A Very Garth Ennis Christmas but it was a ridiculously poor attempt at doing Ennis missing a lot of the stuff that makes Ennis great. Especially when Ennis/Parlov are churning out Fury Max, which is easily a high point in both of their long careers.

I still think Happy! is a return to Filth-era Morrison more than an Ennis pastiche. Also, it's dope and helped restore some of my love for Morrison after his Batman/Action Comics run.

I'm not seeing how it's like the Filth, We3,or NXE, which is roughly what I'd consider the same period. Maybe elements of the dialog but that would also be out of place given the setting.

Maybe elements of the dialog but that would also be out of place given the setting. It's not particularly like We3 and I don't actually know what NXE is but the combination of graphic, foul-mouthed depictions of awful people doing terrible things mixed with metaphysical weirdness and a bizarre optimism reminded me a lot of the Filth. It's the kind of vibe Morrison excels at, which is why I found it kind of puzzling that everyone got hung up on the Ennis connection. It's not like Ennis has a patent on cursing and Darick Robertson.

Yeah Happy felt very much like Morrison looking at what the "big" indie books were at the moment and trying to fit in while sprinkling around some surreal imagery to pass it off as unique.

Qwo posted:I just blazed through all 3 compendiums of Copra. I shotgunned the whole series over the weekend, and I have to say it left me pretty lukewarm. A pale imitation(which seems kind considering it was a direct rip) of Ostrander's Suicide Squad. It just felt like a forced retread guest starring Doctor Strange and Clea.

I've been excited about trying Copra, as I was a huge Suicide Squad fan, and I've been reading praise for it all year. But I can't help but wonder if a full 12-issue collected edition has yet to be announced, so I've held off on picking up the three Compendium editions.

Pretty Deadly is such a gorgeous book that I would really love if it was Emma Rios doing both writing and art. It took till issue 4 for the book to finally settle into what it's be and you can see the issues that plague Captain Marvel cropping up a lot too. But man I would easily buy a dialogue free of the book.

bobkatt013 posted:I am a huge fan of Hellboy and BPRD and was wondering how is Baltimore? I like it. The idea is vampires and poo poo rose up during WWI, so it is a solid supernatural post apocalyptic setting, and the art really pulls everything together. I could see getting sick of it if I read too much too quickly, but it comes out slowly.

Did anyone else grab Deadly Class by Rememnder? Harry Potter except assassins. Art is gorgeous and there's an interesting essay in the back about Rememnder's childhood and how it relates to the book.
