How's Empowered? I feel like I've been hearing about it forever, which is kind of a decent sign typically, but the plot and designs have me very, very skeeved out.

There's also an Industry City game room with an incredibly janky arcade cabinet of Marvel vs. Capcom if you just want to stroll through warehouses doing vaguely superhero-ish things for an afternoon.

That said, it stands exactly one micron off of the line of being actual softcore bondage porn, and it's entirely understandable that that's never going to be some people's cup of tea. For those who can handle that, though, you'll find a lot to love, not just in spite but because of it. Warren's inspiration for the series was that he does bondage porn commissions, and he kept drawing the same anonymous superheroine in them, and eventually he started to wonder just who this girl was and what could possibly drive her to keep going out and trying to be a superhero when she'd inevitably end up tied up and humiliated. And as it turns out, the answers to those questions are really interesting and have led to a unique story with great characters. Empowered wouldn't be half the comic book it is if it wasn't right on that line.

It's a very horny book that also happens to have a lot more depth, charm, and personality than a fetish comic should ever have. I like it, but I totally understand that it's also a book that a lot of people just won't want to read for the obvious reasons.

I mean, Adam's got the first couple books' worth of material on his webcomic site. Give it a shot and see what you think, although it does start off way closer to Emp's roots as commissions for superheroines in bondage so you'll have to power through it. Or you don't feel like you want to, which is also fine.

 What's our policy on memes in chat threads? Edit: Oh, just to be clear, I made this because, I recently got into transformers, and this kind of transphobic video kept getting into my search results. So, I decided to do this trans take on the drake meme thing since I remember Lost Light handling it right. Covok fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Jun 3, 2019 |

I spent the weekend at GalaxyCon Richmond and had a great time. The dealer room was disappointing (I wanted to buy some HCs/trades to get some creators to sign and there were almost none to be found), but there was a ton of cool panels to go to, the celebrity booths were never super busy, and they had free wrestling shows every night. More comic creators would be welcome, too, though. Worth the trip!

Meme or not, thank you for sharing the panels, I otherwise would not have ever seen them. I don't have any nostalgia for the Transformers and no real interest in digging into the comics but that seems like a nicely handled plot beat.

I don't have any nostalgia for the Transformers and no real interest in digging into the comics but that seems like a nicely handled plot beat. The Transformers comics by IDW are actually pretty Progressive. There are a lot of same-sex couples and trans characters. Actually one thing I do find interesting is the first trans characters introduced were transbians in a transbian relationship. It wasn't always this Progressive. As a matter of fact, there was a minor controversy with this issue because the writer made it clear that they wanted to handle this subject matter better than the previous writer did and that caused a little stir. But they certainly knew what they were talking about because they handled it very well from what I've heard.

But gently caress We3 deserves respect (still need to read Seaguy) But that does seem like trying to acknowledge new blood on the writers front (except Warren Ellis).

I don't have any nostalgia for the Transformers and no real interest in digging into the comics but that seems like a nicely handled plot beat. well there's psychopaths in the comics too but they're proper ones instead of flat out give-me-your-face ones. wait, there's those too, but they're not portrayed as the loving hero of the series, at least. I heartily recommend them as genuinely good sci-fi adventure comics. It's basically Star Trek/BSG-style universal exploratory shenanigans most of the time, and is set after the 4-million-year-long intergalactic war between Autobots and Decepticons(the focal point of almost the last 30 years of transformers) comes to an end. They're basically like "poo poo, what now?" and a bunch of characters decide to take this huge experimental spaceship on a wild goose chase to find some mythical group that might not even exist. Also, Megatron eventually is put on board as punishment for his crimes and his entire arc is pretty loving outstanding. It was so good that like a dozen formerly no-name garbage characters got revived as remade toys because they became popular in the comics. Like, Rewind and Chromedome, or Whirl and Brainstorm, who the gently caress knew about those jobbers until James Roberts made them into memorable characters? I have a code for the Humble Bundle that includes the entire runs of both as well as most of the rest of the IDW transformers comics, if you're interested and willing to actually read'em and give your thoughts on them so the code doesn't go to waste(and comp me for the code, I think it was 20 bucks for the full bundle) Covok posted:

Captain Invictus posted:More Than Meets The Eye and Robots In Disguise are outstanding comic series mostly throughout and essentially revitalized the transformers fiction after Micheal Bay made them into walking piss/dick/racist jokes or psychopaths To be clear, that's phase 2. There was a Phase 1 that retold the entire war from the beginning. quote:did you draw the character on the left? It's from r/traaaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. It's a subreddit run by trans, enby, and queer people to post memes about their lives. Somewhere along the line, Drake got replaced with that girl as the go-to MTF/trans fem version of the meme, though there are others.

So I think I'm going to start a pull list for Hickman's X-Men and the shop I go to wants at least five books. I'm also thinking Black Cat, becausethat seemslike the kinda book that will need early orders to survive, but for the last two I'd like something non-superhero non big two with a low issue count (single digits) so I could easily pick up floppies of all the back issues. I really like Kierron Gillen, Matt Fraction, Kelly Sue Deconnik is hit or miss for me, as is BKV. Anybody have recommendations? I'll cross post this in the indie thread

Don't suppose you've read Descender and haven't picked up Ascender yet? Other than that, for brand new indies I'm liking Little Bird and Faithless. Clue Candlestick and Michael Oeming's Dick Tracy just started, and I think they're fun, but they might lack if you're looking for solid narratives. If you liked Squirrel Girl, Erika Henderson does art on the new Assassin Nation. That's worth checking out if you're a fan of cartoony violence. American Carnage from Vertigo is real good if you can stomach white supremacists for villains. That's seven issues old. edit: I haven't tried it yet but Thumbs from Image has a very high rating for it's #1 out last week. https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/image-comics/thumbs/1 Eve Stranger started strong too, but I can't vouch for it. https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/idw-publishing/eve-stranger Updating as I look back at recent releases.

I got confused and thought House of X was coming out next week instead of in July, so I might go tomorrow and look around myself, and maybe grab those number ones that just came out. I really like collecting comics as a hobby and think it'd be fun to own an entire run of something that I was following from the beginning or close to it. I am under no illusions about it ever being a thing that might turn a profit though.

Skwirl posted:I will look into these, thanks. Sometimes you pull an immortal hulk from the start. But usually you dig in dollar bins a year later and find books you paid full price for and haven’t read yet. I pick my subscription books based on a couple things: Creators I want to support (this is the biggest one) Cool concepts I want to see more of (big 2 anthology series, big 2 artist/writer books) Series or imprints I’m invested in (Birthright, Curse Words, the Black Hammer Universe, the Young Animal universe) The chance of getting a return is no chance at all, because I have no intention of selling my books anytime soon. Comics is an expense, not an investment. Hell, I have two full runs of Sandman and I just haven’t bothered to sell one of them.

I own two copies of most of the Spider-Man clone saga because my dad thought it would pay for my college (he bought me one to read and one to keep in mint condition), I know the perils of thinking of comics as an investment.
