This is sad news if Tomasi isn't writing. Breaking up one of the best artist/writer teams.

If Tomasi and Gleason took over Amazing Spider-Man then that would be the best Marvel news in a decade

Spider-Man with Ottley and Gleason alternating arcs is gonna be one of the consistently best looking books every month.

Glad that i'm not again the only one enjoying the Event. War of the Realms is a balls to the wall adventure with tons of action. Daredevil getting Hofund and being able to see everything was great.

Is there anyone in the modern era who's stayed at one side longer than Tomasi? I can't imagine him leaving.

I didn't realize Tomasi has been writing for so long. His credits date back to June 1995 and it is only for DC Comics.

Do you think this means they're going ahead with the plans to bring her into the 616 somehow? Also who's that under Venom, I don't think I've seen her before. Is she a new character?

Gwen's been in a lot of group shots over the last few years without permanently jumping over so my initial thought is no, but i guess its possible

I love her, she's the best. Also she sassed out a Chinese hero who tried to intercept her while in Philippine waters, how timely (Mainland China is steadily encroaching on our territories and our government is bending over backwards to help them do so, but that's for another thread yikes).

I was looking forward to the Pinoy hero but this is just so cringe. Comics doing politics is always so corny and stupid

God forbid that my entertainment have something relevant to say about the modern world! If anything, both Philippine entertainment and western entertainment involving the Philippines aren't political enough, so believe me, I appreciate them getting it out there.

You misinterpreted my despair over the integration of politics in comics as a desire to see it depoliticized, but my stance is the opposite: I wish comics were less apolitical, but when they do try to tackle "real world issues" they're just usually very bad at it. What insightful commentary did Greg Pak have to contribute about the situation in the South China Sea? I don't think it's enough just to do "representation", of culture or religion or politics, if it isn't thoughtful as well, otherwise you're just ticking boxes. From what I can find, it seems like it's just a backdrop for Aero and Wave to meet before they get recruited by Amadeus, so it doesn't seem like Pak has anything to say about the modern world except, uh, who cares about some islands when giants and elves are invading? Really cutting-edge stuff.

Last time I read about Filipino heroes they got wiped out by a suicide bomber in Fraction's Invincible Iron Man.

Really cutting-edge stuff. Stories have to take place somewhere, and in fiction based in a world approximately "like" the real one characters have to come from someplace. Would you suggest that Peter Parker should only be from Queens if the author is making an incisive point about Queens? Because often this question of "but why does x have to come from y, or be z?" is only leveled at characters from demographics that are lacking in representation, and tacitly encourages creators to stick with a roster of white guys from the US. Captain America isn't any more apolitical than any given new hero from elsewhere in the world-- indeed his origin story is both deeply political and deeply silly. That's a-ok. I think representation in-and-of-itself is desirable (barring, you know, caricatures like most black supporting characters from the Golden Age, or outright offensive stereotypes like Extrano the gay wizard with HIV from New Guardians). Ticking boxes is perfectly fine if those boxes would otherwise be unticked, and I think Grek Pak's ongoing interest in introducing new Asian and Asian-American characters, or sprucing up ones that already exist, is pretty noble and in most cases well-executed. If he's not saying something profound about Sino-Filipino relations, I'm not especially bothered, as it isn't like, ultimately, anything about Smallville really excavates interesting or novel insights about the rural experience-- the point is setting things up so we're introduced to a specifically Filipino hero, who he seems pretty excited about, I'm pretty excited about, and, it seems, Filipino readers are excited about.

Last time I read about Filipino heroes they got wiped out by a suicide bomber in Fraction's Invincible Iron Man. By suicide bombing buddhist monks, no less, which everyone knows are a very common and normal thing to see in Metro Manila! It may not be a deep treatise on our territorial disputes but I think it's pretty important. I mean, I see TV shows throwing well-deserved shade at Trump all the time, and this is honestly the closest I've ever seen any fictional popular media come to tossing a gently caress you at the Philippine government, so yeah.

If it makes you feel any better, later writers made a point of establishing that the team had been reestablished. Al Ewing has characters mention them all the time, and apparently Blue Marvel goes over there for team-ups on the regular. TwoPair posted:I've read very little of Conan compared to the rest of... this entire forum, I think, but it seems that a lot of writers write Conan as borderline superhuman, it's not definitely not just Duggan. No, Conan is straight-up written that way in the original Howard. There's a disquieting amount of the original fiction that's basically about how Conan is just a little bit better than everyone around him, even if those people are all-time monsters.

Teaser ad leaked for a mystery Joe Hill (Locke & Key) and Mike Allred comic in August. The background just seems like a random assortment of covers, but the font looks a bit Asgardian? Dr Strangey? I'd take that for the next Thor team. edit: This week's comics are probably going to have a bunch of these teases. https://twitter.com/CBCebulski/status/1125899745086595074 ee: Here's the next one BC put out. Al Ewing ang George Perez.  With Perez, they're probably not ongoings. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 02:22 on May 8, 2019 |
