Well that's a given. I mean, Goosebumps was great when I was a kid, but upon even the slightest bit of scrutiny later, it ain't high art

Maybe it's just because I was a little too old for it, but even as a kid I thought Goosebumps was godawful.

"Go eat worms" was my go to insult for a while when I was a child because of Goosebumps. Sure whatever Stine is doing now for Marvel is unlikely to be great but it will be fun to see what he writing.

Thinking about it, it's probably a Monsters Unleashed tie in.

In retrospect my favourite Goosebumps thing was a bit from the one where the kid is transformed into a bee, and one chapter ends with his narration going, "Then suddenly, a dragonfly caught me and bit me in half!" then the very next chapter starts with him thinking, "Wow, that was a weird daydream."

I think there was another book where the narrator thinks, "I stepped into the house and heard a blood-curdling scream!" as the last line of a chapter, then the next one starts with, "But it was only a cat."

The way many MRA style nerds act, it has. They really act like sexy ladies are completely banned, and not basically everywhere, even more so than before.

This is why I never discuss comics online anywhere but among facebook friends and here. I was posting about how CW2 was making me feel like Kamala, with my favorite hero going insane and evil, and someone said "How can you like Captain Marvel now with her costume? Don't you miss the old one that showed off her rear end?".

Just no.
Nerds are the goddamn worst, even worse than jocks now that I think about it

Also while the Main Goosebumps series suck in retrospect I will always have a soft spot for the CYOA Goosebumps books

I am praying that Stein's comic will have those cheap chapter cliffhangers between every single issue.
Just imagine:

One month passes.
Steve Rodgers: "Excuse me. Was holding back a wicked sneeze. So like I was saying, the hailstorm really ruined the hydrant outside the mansion."

I'd love this. They're such a great group together, and work both serious and silly.

And Frank Cho is worse than Greg Land. At least Land doesn't pretend he's some kind of crusader for free speech or something. And that's what disgusts me the most, the idea that criticism is censorship, that somehow people who say "that's gross" or "that's wrong" are somehow oppressing them. No one is stopping them from doing anything, but then there is a unifying aspect of all the right wing and alt-right people is having incredibly thin skin and constantly being triggered and demanding safe spaces (so they can jerk off and avoid women and minorities). But then they turn around and someone who gets thousands of messages telling them to die or how they deserved to be raped should learn to just deal with it or get off the internet. Yea, yea projecting, but they're so transparent.

I hope that Frank Cho becomes so poisonous that Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, IDW, Image, Oni and basically everyone won't hire him. Maybe he can find himself at home at loving Boundless or that company that makes the sexy zombie girl comics.

I enjoyed Champions #1 but I felt the dialogue was slightly forced. #2 is quite a bit worse. I think Mark Waid has lost touch with the kids.

I liked Viv and Cyclops in it, but everyone else seemed off. Plus half the book seemed to serve as completely pointless exposition for things everyone already knew.
Still got a small chuckle out of the trust fall.

Trying to take a stab at how Kamala seems off; I'd say it's that she seems way less dorky and giddy than she is in her main series? I'm not really seeing much of the excitability I'm used to from her.

It's almost like they wanted her to be the team leader and then tweaked her personality to fit that role.

I can't speak much to the other characters because hers is the only main series I read.

On the other hand, Unworthy Thor #1 proved the irrefutable fact of the universe. Beta Ray Bill best bro.
