Well now I want that one too.There is also talk of a Lobo and Roadrunner comic....never have I wanted a crossover more.

Can't help but picture that iconic Bugs/Daffy gag.Quiet, i'm huntin' pawents...
Get to the last season poster "Criminal Season'Can't help but picture that iconic Bugs/Daffy gag.
"It's Martha season!" "No, it's Thomas season!" "Martha season!" "Thomas season!" "Martha!" "Thomas!" "Martha!" "Martha!" "No! It's Thomas season! Shoot me!"
Oh I don't fuck with line-wide stuff. Too much crossover bullshit and I'm out, which is probably why I'm only reading fringe Marvel books right now, and I'm so relieved that Ms. Marvel (at least this far into solicitations) isn't involved in Secret Empire.I just don't bother with the "event" stuff, I get my regular books, usually so little is involved with the "event" that it doesn't bother me. I've done it for the past few years and haven't had it bother me at all. I'm even fine on a "line-wide" (such as all Spidey titles) storylines that I don't get all the parts of it.
Probably because it's just him writing it. I'm guessing it's one more book a month than he wants to be doing.I buy the getting in the way of his other projects, but his run has basically been 2 different WW books. I'm not sure I get the schedule blaming.
That's a shame. But 25 issues is a pretty solid run. Short compared to other creative team runs, but still pretty respectable. I think that's about as long as his previous run.Greg Rucka is stepping down from Wonder Woman. Says the twice a month schedule is too much and affecting other projects.
Sucks partly because it's been good, and partly because every time there's a new Wonder Woman writer, they want to reinvent the wheel.
Issue #25 will be Rucka's last.
I guess? Tom King said he'll be on Batman for five years so I kinda got the impression a lot of the others planned to be on their books for a longer haul than one year.That's a shame.

...five years of Tom King's Batman...enough to make a brother drool.I guess? Tom King said he'll be on Batman for five years so I kinda got the impression a lot of the others planned to be on their books for a longer haul than one year.
If I go reading a few issues, am I going to come out the other side still trusting you?I dunno, DC super hero girls ain't that bad.
I remember watching the movie they did for that and thinking it was okay, for something focused at very young girls like Monster High. I'd never watch it again, but it was pretty unoffensive.I dunno, DC super hero girls ain't that bad.
You make yourself hard to join in anger because you swing so far to one side that you risk falling over. The MCU movie division is run by entirely different people ever since Perlmutter was swatted by Disney's rolled-up newspaper.You're kidding, right? Reaction is as expected. And as expected.
Once is a gaffe. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a trend. This isn't just tone deaf anymore. We're venturing into downright malicious.
Seriously, FUCK MARVEL. Fuck the whole fucking brand. That goes for the MCU too.
The point is they're still all under the Marvel brand. When you fuck up that badly, there's going to be repercussions across the board. Sins of the father and all that. Which is why I didn't simply post "FUCK THIS MOVIE" in the Thor 3 thread.You make yourself hard to join in anger because you swing so far to one side that you risk falling over.

Branding is a matter of public image and most people don't give a shit what goes on in comic book stores. None of this is going to affect the MCU because the MCU is so separate from the rest of Marvel. Guardians 2, Spider-man: Homecoming, and Thor 3 won't be negatively impacted in ticket sales over anything Marvel Comics does.The point is they're still all under the Marvel brand.

Maybe not giving a shit is part of the problem. It's damaging the image of the MCU enough that the actors have had to speak up about it. Chris Evans was particularly upset about the whole Hydra Cap story.Branding is a matter of public image and most people don't give a shit what goes on in comic book stores.

Since branding doesn't dictate your own thought processes and you're aware of this distinction, then how you handle it isn't some magical thing that just happens; it's a choice.
It's not that I "gotta" do B. It's I choose to do B because of A, and C needs to be more aware that D is doing A under the same flag as C.To clarify: your wording suggests it's a situation of "they did A, so I gotta do B," when that's not true. Obviously don't see a movie or any movies if you don't want to, but it's not like the decision has been taken out of your hands because the comic book side of things did something shitty (again) that has nothing to do with the movie side of it.
Pretty sure Hydra Cap was the only point where the movie-going crowd was aware of this. Far as they're concerned, that situation ended in June 2016. Cap's return to heroism after Secret Empire won't get the same amount of attention. By then the movie-goers will have had Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians 2, and Spider-man between Hydra Cap's inception and conclusion.Maybe not giving a shit is part of the problem.

But like you said, the MCU isn't the real issue. The issue is why does Marvel Comics feel they have to go to the Nazi well so often, and in such egregious ways?[DOUBLEPOST=1492836812,1492836442][/DOUBLEPOST]

Or in more coherent terms...
Comics: NAZI NAZI NAZI
Movies: Hey, comics, you're making us look bad. Stop it.
"Oh yes!" - David Tennant, Doctor WhoThe Flash by Mark Waid: Book Two is out this week. This is the one to get, if I understood correctly.
No rumor, they announced it on Monday that it was happening.Rumor is that Marvel Legacy will revert to old issue number count.
No idea what that means for Carol Danvers and Kamala.
Is Nick Spencer related to Richard Spencer? That would explain a lot.I think Carol and Kamala would stick to their current numbers. Even though they're using names held by previous people, they're still "new" characters.
Or I could be wrong. I don't understand half of Marvel's decisions lately.
Yeah, one of them writes Sam Wilson Captain America, the other writes "why do black people bother to exist?" Totally correlates.[DOUBLEPOST=1493302413,1493302282][/DOUBLEPOST]Is Nick Spencer related to Richard Spencer? That would explain a lot.
I think DC was right to only revert numbers on a couple titles. They could probably swing it easier than Marvel if they'd wanted to do more, but Marvel has fractured titles so much that I'm not sure what adds to whose count anymore.I think Carol and Kamala would stick to their current numbers.
