I cannot stop laughing. Hank is sitting on Clint’s fucking KNEE. And Black Knight is just dead center doing his thing.
Like I said on Twitter, clearly we have different definitions of a unibeam, online clothing store.
Why should you read Iron Man: Season One?
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
As far as a standalone Iron Man story goes, I don’t think I’ve seen anything plotted this tight and long since the Extremis arc. This is an origin story and ties in closely to the Tony we see in the comics (616), not in the films. The interiors and coloring create this hazy vibe of bygone eras, almost like you’re looking through a champagne haze and trying to make sense of what’s happening around you. Tony’s narrative remains personal and strong throughout the GN, and ultimately it’s just plain, old good.

YOU HAD ME AT DOOP
(via jeremy-ruiner)
Below you’ll find a quick rundown of my opinions on all the books I read today as well as a few panels, and the links to buy the comics. Remember, kids. The rule is for every negative, I have to write two positives.
This was surprisingly adorable and heart-warming. Traits I really don’t associate with the New 52 from this particular publisher. Revolving around Damian, Bruce, & Alfred this is a wonderful one-shot. For people looking for that glimmer of pre-reboot DC, this is for you.
Actual adult Bruce Wayne.
Well, this is Grant Morrison doing Grant Morrison things. I don’t think there’s been a moment of rest since this series began, but Morrison gets Damian and for that I’m thankful. Have some new Bat-Cat. And Bat-Cow. And Bat-Dog.
Following closely on the heels of the highly anticipated first issue, this book still remains intriguing. Learning about the volleyball work camps and the cutthroat world of corporate sponsorship was a bit of an exposition dump, but as always the art and colors (Doyle & Bellaire, respectively) remained ever-engaging. It felt like an exceptionally short issue. I do enjoy Mara’s pervasive sense of disgruntlement.
I think I figured it out. This book reminds me of every great Sorkin West Wing episode. It’s the cold open. I can’t, in recent memory, recall a comic that has ever used a cold open like this. (I suppose you can count the recent YA #1 as having a cold open, but I digress.) Hickman is producing theatre. He is on, arguably, the flagship Marvel title. This is a stage. The previous 3-issue first arc can even be viewed as a cold open. What I’m saying is that I really like it, and Hickman makes me want to punch myself in the face, he’s that good.
Natasha doesn’t have time for your jungle escapades, Jessica.
Thor is invited to any party I host, lbr.
I love this book. This is box of a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts book. There is nothing not short of fabulous. Greg Pak somehow fills this books with the best villainous tropes while keeping it fresh and original. Also, Paco Diaz can get it.
Mirrorball. Wedge. Boots.
Everyone go home.
24 pages. 2 complete and engaging stories. No one likes a showoff, Fraction. Just kidding, though. I loved it. This is a great example of micro-storytelling and keeping what’s essential in a book to make a great story.
Loved the art from Hamm and Lieber, and Hollingsworth always comes through and ties everything together with his muted palette.
Go away.
Apparently it’s a pre-requisite for Asgardian titles to just not give anything away. I have no idea where this book is going. At all. Still hanging in there, though. I do enjoy the Bayeux Tapestry feel to this opening page.
Go buy this. Go buy this now. I’ll wait. By far the most impressive title to come out of the Monkeybrain imprint so far, this book is just fantastic. The art is perfect for it’s slightly seedy setting, and the main characters are terribly enchanting, and I want to read more NOW. Did I mention it’s $.99?
I probably should have posted this before I passed out this morning, but we can’t always be on our A-game, I suppose.
So you like, Thor, huh? Maybe you like his adopted brother currently in kid form. IDK, I don’t know you. I don’t know your life choices.
Either way, how about you read some comics that are cheap, legal, & digital, yeah? $.99, bro. You really can’t go wrong. Welcome to the future.
You can pick up in the wake of Siege, and watch Fraction weave some strands together like a motherfuckin’ Bayeux Tapestry* with art from Pasqual Ferry. This is basically where you want to start reading with Kid Loki, FYI.
Then take a one-way trip to Did That Just Fucking Happen-ville with the first 12 issues of The Mighty Thor featuring Fraction on words, Coipel on air guitar and art, with back up from Pasqual Ferry on later issues.
Note: This sale ends promptly Friday (tonight) at 11PM EST.
*I should note that the Bayeux Tapestry is embroidered cloth, but I’m fine with compromising historical accuracy to extend a pretty sweet metaphor.
- So.
- I went used book store diving and walked away with these little precious bundles of joy.
- I’m generally a 100% digital person, but I couldn’t NOT BUY THESE.
I’m sorry. I can’t hear you over the sound of a Tony Stark and Namor team-up.
Man-Thing, what are you doing?
WHO HURT YOU? YOU SHOULDN’T LOOK SO PRETTY CRYING. WHO HURT YOU?
Hogun, you are the most GQMF in the Nine Realms.
Nick Fury does not care about your bullshit. At all.
Nomad. Look at your life. LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.
I can’t take this seriously.
Except, it’s so serious.
Look, this is a Big Fucking Deal. Okay? This is fucking history.
Moebius. Stan Lee. A DOLLAR NINETY NINE. $1.99.
Also, the digital format? Yeah. Outrageous.
Hi Tumblr comics fans,
Let’s accomplish some social good today. The organization One Million Moms, who describe themselves as “a network of Christian mothers and grandmothers taking a stand for our children who are exploited by the entertainment industry”, have recently released a statement asking for a write-in campaign to Marvel (owned by Disney) and DC (owned by Warner Bros.) asking them to “change and cancel all plans of homosexual superhero characters immediately”.
This is in direct relation to Marvel’s first gay marriage in Astonishing X-Men #50 and DC announcing a reveal of a male, iconic character’s sexual identity being changed from previous incarnations. One Million Moms goes on to say things like,
Children desire to be just like superheroes. Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, “I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?”
This is ridiculous! Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don’t but do want to indoctrate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light. These companies are heavily influencing our youth by using children’s superheroes to desensitize and brainwash them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable. As Christians, we know that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:26-27).
This is yet again another example of the bigotry from close-minded individuals. Obviously they have no problem referencing Romans 1:26-27, but heavens forbid they take a gander at Matthew 7:1 (Judge not, that you be not judged.). I won’t even touch the stereotypical gender roles this organization is promoting.
What can you do? Easy! Let’s lets overwhelm their voice. For every email Marvel or DC receives asking to remove homosexual elements from comics, let’s send them emails congratulating them on the steps they are taking and showing support for their editorial and creative decisions. Tweet them and let them know you are proud to support gay characters and gay marriage in comics.
One Million Moms Twitter (Note: Let’s try to be civil when explaining why their bigotry is unacceptable. Sometimes it pays to take the high road.)
I hope this post gets some traction, so if you support this cause please reblog for a signal boost.
