Uthor posted:I'm down to Hawkeye (when it comes out), Rocket Raccoon (great art, alright story), Elektra (still not sure if I'd recommend it) and Hawkeye vs Deadpool (one good issue, two okay issues). Well, you won't have to worry about recommending Elektra much longer! My monthly Marvel reading is something like: Avengers New Avengers Daredevil (ending soonish) Elektra (canceled) Rocket Raccoon (probably dropping) Cyclops (might drop) Thor Angela (giving it another couple issues, anyway) Loki She-Hulk (canceled) Ultimate Spider-Man Ms. Marvel Miracleman Hawkeye (almost done)

I just got a trade via Media Mail, so I guess it's technically okay. I mean, USPS isn't really ripping open packages to ensure there's no ads in them. I usually just sell stuff on Amazon. If you price your book around the same as the lowest, they usually sell pretty quickly.

Hakkesshu posted:I admit I don't know anything about how the artist/company relationship works, but my understanding is that it's contractual and most artists do several jobs for more than one company at a time. Does someone like Marvel actually employ artists in-house exclusively on a full-time basis? Now I know some artists work faster than others, but could you theoretically pump out one good-looking issue a week if you had nothing else on the table?

To be fair, 1991 was the year the internet hit 1 million users worldwide, so there wasn't a lot of people using it then, in general. Granted, the number of comic readers were probably a greater proportion of that 1 million than the general population, but it still probably wasn't a lot of them.

HondaCivet posted:Wow that's dumb. The shop made it sound like it happens pretty often. They are definitely not a big shop and carry more indie stuff so I can imagine them being a low priority. (It also gives stores an idea of how many rack copies they should order in addition to the customer copies, which can help boost sales and keep a book being made.)

IDW has been really good at making Megatron a sympathetic character, really. All he wanted to do was write poetry, but society forced him to be a miner because that's what his alt mode was. Even the Decepticon rebellion was supposed to be non-violent but he just got broken down by everything. Granted, that doesn't excuse him from attempted genocide and starting leading a multi-million year war, but still.

WickedHate posted:Where do I start reading with IDW Transformers? Holy poo poo this all sounds really interesting. MTMTE is really good comics by any estimation other than some sketchy art in some issues. RID is also good, but not quite so much. MTMTE technically spins off of the first or second issue of RID, but it's not terribly important.

I don't really know if there's a consolidated spot to find out when things are coming out, the weekly shipping thread lists everything for that week, so check there weekly, I guess? Alternatively, check the solicits for each month which generally come out four months ahead (Marvel's June ones don't appear to be out yet). If you're reading digitally, you can just set up subscriptions for those titles on Comixology. Of those three, Star Wars and Darth Vader are ongoings, while Princess Leia is a 5 issue miniseries. There's no thread to talk about them other than the licensed comic thread,, I suppose but feel free to make one!

"Somewhere in the midwest" is about as close as you'll get, but the comics have placed it in MIssouri, adjacent to Keystone City in Kansas, so it's more like Kansas City than St. Louis.

Dr. Reyes, does, however, have an MD. Wiki says Prof X has PhD's in genetics, biophysics, psychology, and anthropology, as well as an MD in psychiatry. And when did PhD's stop being "real" doctorate degrees? Calling a PhD "doctor" is a completely normal thing.

Well, Pym claimed that with him back on Earth from Skrull captivity, Cho is the 8th, but that doesn't really track, since Skrull Pym *was* Pym as far as everyone was aware, so the list is something like: 1. Reed Richards 2. Doctor Doom 3. Hank Pym 4. Bruce Banner 5. Tony Stark 6. T'Challa 7. Amadeus Cho (Everything after 2 is just placed there randomly) EDIT: If you want to accept Pym's claim as accurate, then slot in Leader, Beast, or Xavier in there.

Well, what you have to remember is that Amadeus's "Seventh Smartest Person on Earth!" designation was from a soap company, so anyone above him would have to be *reasonably* within the public conscious. Given this, Valeria was probably not one the six people they consider smarter, though, yeah, she almost certainly is.
