Anybody have any experience with CosmicBookNews? Facebook keeps suggesting their articles, and it�s obvious whoever runs it is your typical anti Brie Larson/anti Zendaya CHUD.

gently caress, now I'm remembering. Hellcat's previous appearance was in the She-Hulk series where she was Hellcat's employer and close friend. Can't imagine how that might throw the Kate Leth series for a loop.

There's not some other bruiser Bendis could have put in a coma?

I think it was done, at least partially, to set up that She Hulk mini where she turns gray. It was pretty well received from what I hear. Also, Bendis probably wanted her out of the way while they killed Banner.

Oh, that was not the intent. I just didn't want you to dismiss it because some Nazi gamer dork liked it.

Or because of the covers. The story doesn�t cater to the same people the cover does.

Noah did an autobiographical comic about his life growing up:

Which I haven't read, but apparently it explains that he and Evan (and their six other siblings, geez) had an incredibly traumatic childhood. Not that it excuses anything EVS has done, of course, but from what I've seen about the book you can see how Evan got twisted into the monster he is today.

You mean Ethan, right?

The last one reminded me of Paul Dini and his wife who looks like Zatana, but that seems like a stretch.

I thought the same thing, but regardless of the circumstances of how and why they got together, they�re an extremely nice couple, and have three(?) well behaved kids.

I hate Cyberfrog's design, and that's not just my dislike of EVS talking. I just find it to be an unpleasant mess of a design. "Overdesigned" is a word that comes to mind. I feel like there's way too much happening with it.

Cyberfrog looks like if some CHUD became really fixated on the enemies from Bucky O�Hare. Righteous Indignation is the proper response to EVS�s Cyberfrog campaign, so another point for the green rabbit.

Not related, but Beast handling vinyl records with his feet is one of my favorite visuals from 60�s Marvel. The issue of FF that introduces the Inhumans is a good example of this. You also get to see Johnny hit on Jean.

Strangely, he seems to have gotten cranky after Marvel and DC stopped giving him work. The industry is finally leaving him behind, and he can�t handle it. Hopefully he was smart with his money.

Bendis said he ranks Miles being talked about on Glenn Beck as his third greatest accomplishment behind his wife and kids. Did you know that Michelle Obama forced Marvel to create a biracial Spider-Man?

That's a problem with what specialist comic book stores are selling. Why in gods name would you not sell trades and manga if you're a comic book store. It's dumb as hell that I have access to a broader range of comics in a chain bookstore than in my local specialty shop.

"Comics are american-made superhero books" is the problem and why I won't mourn most of the shops that are forced to close (though I'll mourn my own shop, which is just as bad, but I like because the owner is a nice guy).

One of the problems with carrying trades is that Amazon is probably going to kick your rear end on price.

Although there's something to be said to having a trade somebody wants when they walk in the door. Never underestimate the appeal of just grabbing it off the shelf even if the customer knows they can get it cheaper but later. That does bring with it its own problems of needing to, well, keep everything stocked but there's also a reason a good trade selection is a boon to a comic shop.

Oh, no doubt. The Mister Miracle hardcover is the only collected edition I�ve bought from my local shop in the last couple years because it was a comic store exclusive, but I�m almost always able to sell someone on a trade when I�m hanging around.

I don�t know how many people that I sell on a volume one come back for volume two, or if they just go online now that they know what they like.

Kirby was going to do a story where the FF fight a Nazi Fantastic Four (the Furhrer�s Four), but he instinctively stabbed the sketches as soon as he finished drawing them.

Not sure what that guy is on about, I had a quick look at Black Cat on Marvel Unlimited and she seems to have plenty of cleavage and large breasts.

Are you just talking about the covers? There�s been a bit of contention about the covers being misleading. Either people dismissing it, thinking it�s a cheesecake book. Or, buying it because they think it�s a cheesecake book, and being disappointed. One of the rarer variants of the first issue had Felicia in a bathtub full of milk.

Not that she�s devoid of sexuality or anything. In the book she�s sexy because she�s an attractive person with a strong personality. Some people can�t recognize Black Cat/Catwoman without a zipper down below their navel.

It's also an early design and she's been changed since and looks just fine on the actual show.

I like it. Probably should have committed to a belt instead of just a couple pouches and the weird looking panties. I dig the cuffs and collar look.

Makes me happy when super heroes look comfortable in their costumes.

It sucks Millar is a talented writer, decides to mostly just write gross, immature stuff, and has probably made more money off licensing than any other living comic writer. Except Kirkman, probably.

Okay, thanks. I�ll be skipping his Mister Miracle (heard it was good but who cares if he�s got this BS going on) and hoping it�s not drawn upon for the upcoming Fourth World film.

It�s a really good book, and Tom King has been outspoken about being against Trump and what he�s been doing with federal troops on American soil if that helps.

The last page of each issue has a quote from Kirby�s original run on Mister Miracle. The old fashioned bombast punctuates the uneasiness of Scott�s predicament. I hope a New Gods movie could be half as good as the book, but it�s a real toss up with DC�s film output.

I love Cyborg as a Titan but his inclusion on the JL has always felt shoe-horned. There was no natural growth into the role, he was just thrust in from Flashpoint on. But then, so was most of the things that spun out of Flashpoint.

They were teasing having Cyborg in the League at the beginning of Brad Meltzer�s JLA. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman decide he should be offered a position on the team, and then it�s never followed up on.

Cyborg is also part of DC�s problem with barely knowing what to do with the Teen Titan characters. That cartoon was so popular, but the best you�d get was maybe a Raven mini series or Starfire loving around with Jason Todd.

Cyborg has all the potential in the world, but it�s only the Doom Patrol tv show that really tries to take a deep look at his character.

That was the same run that put Arsenal on the team instead of Green Arrow and then pushed him into an infatuation with Hawkgirl that also never went anywhere.

TLDR: Brad Meltzer's JLA is absolute poo poo.

I thought it was fine. I was a big fan of the stuff with Dinah and Roy. But, as I�ve said before, I�d buy a book of Meltzer just having heroes sitting around and talking.

I know they�ve walked back a lot of the New 52 stuff, but I miss that DC era where everyone seemed like they were friends.

If there was ever another Marvel/DC crossover, Hal/Carol team up is near the top of my list. Couple hot shot pilots turned space police turned super heroes, with their abrasive personalities working against how much they have in common. I bet Captain Marvel could even absorb lantern energy.

Speaking of her energy powers: Why didn�t Rogue get those?
