Morrison-M and Morrison-D both exist at the same time but can never be in the same room or it will cause space-time itself to distort into a fracture-universe whereupon all things exist at once and yet do not exist at all.

You're right, but I'll admit as much as I love most of Morrison's stuff, I loathe most of his Marvel output that I've read(not counting his old Marvel UK Zoids comic), he just seems incapable of writing Marvel characters well Lurdiak posted:I loving hate Morrison so I think the comparison is pretty apt.

Most of his DC work is great outside of Batman Inc Volume 2(which falls apart horribly at the end, and has way too many continuity headaches caused by the New 52 switch), also New X-Men is awful in my opinion Also if I weren't phone posting I'd start posting panels from Flex Mentallo drrockso20 fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Oct 14, 2015 |

Granted, they both seem to play the long game. Morrison just seems to be about throwing everything in and making it work with some "it's comics, it's okay to be a bit out there". Hickman builds his stories more like clockwork, wheels within wheels. Morrison seems to be intricate with his themes while Hickman is intricate with his plots. Their styles and approaches just seem different to me.

I don't like the Hickman/Morrison comparison mostly because I really like Hickman and don't care for Morrison at all. Hickman feels more like an Ellis that can focus on one idea for more than six issues at a time to me.

So in the last couple of years, Bruce has died and come back to life, discovered he had a son he didn't know he had, and now he's got amnesia for some reason. The Brave and the Bold has somehow become the Bold and the Beautiful.

Lincoln Marsh, the villain from the Court of Owls, the first Batman arc since the reboot, was heavily implied to be Thomas Wayne Jr, Bruce's older brother who supposedly died in a car wreck some years before Bruce was born. So...almost?

Sudden, emotional hug to a shocked individual followed by a slower hug in response is one of my favorite tropes. See also: Despicable Me, Metalocalypse, that time Batman offered to adopt Tim Drake as his son.

Let's let them go ahead and not gently caress up the Carol Ms. Marvel movie. If they can do that, then it's open season on Kamalah Ms. Marvel. Though personally, I think I'd rather see her get in on the Netflix action and get a series. It's not realistic, but a man can dream.

I haven't heard anyone say it's a bad book, just that it's not to their taste, which is a perfectly fine opinion to have. That said, I don't hang out in comic stores or read the CBR forums, so I'm probably blissfully ignorant.

Yeah, I stopped reading Ms Marvel because I just wasn't digging it that much. But it's not bad by any stretch just not my thing. What's bad is Captain Marvel. Now that KSD is finally gone there might be some hope for interesting plots.Endless Mike posted:That said, I don't hang out in comic stores or read the CBR forums, so I'm probably blissfully ignorant.

Carol Danvers has had the worst luck with writers. Brian loving Reed, Bendis doing whatever the hell he was trying to do with her in New and Mighty Avengers, and then the nail in the coffin right out the gate of her reboot with KSD tied around her neck. And before that she had her weird alcoholic meltdown in Avengers. And of course there was the Jim Shooter incident...

I want Captain Marvel to be incredible just because the character has the absolute best visual of any superhero designed since Cassandra Cain's Batgirl but she has just not been in any really impressive comics. It's devastating.

Even though it kinda looks like porn fetish wear, I still maintain her old costume was about 30 times more iconic than her current one. But hey, what do I know.

Well nobody said it was iconic, it's barely what, two, three years old? It's an unequivocally better design, though. But then I'm a weirdo who latches on to characters solely based on the strength of their visual design, so she's become one of my favorites even though her comics have been pretty uninteresting. Put her in some great comics for enough years and it'll become iconic, it's got the potential. It's a really good design.

Well what I mean is the old one is more visually striking and memorable to me. I could easily draw the old costume from memory. Domino mask, black bodysuit, lightning bolt, red sash, then boots and gloves. The new one is.... some kinda jumpsuit that everyone draws slightly different.... with a starburst... and then there's red, blue and yellow but I'm not sure where they go. Maybe I just like black and lightning bolts.

It always amazes me how DC has a perfectly good Dr. Doom quality character in Black Adam and rarely ever do anything good with him.
