I'm going to assume they have a project for him in mind. Hopefully they realize they're bringing in a writer who not only doesn't care about continuity, but sometimes sneaks in stuff to contradict other ongoings. DC editors seem more on the ball than Marvel editors at the moment.Some pretty big news dropped today: DC Comics has hired Brian Michael Bendis. He's worked for Marvel for so long, I didn't think such a thing was possible.
Of course, that means DC's dialogue will get the Bendis treatment.
-What do you mean Bendis' dialouge is annoying?
-It's annoying.
-How is it annoying?
-It just is.
-So it's little back and forths like this?
-Just like this.
-That is annoying.
-Yup.
-Does he fill whole pages with this dialogue?
-Whole pages.
-This feels like cheap filler.
-Yep.
-Are all his books like this?
-Every one.
-And people still like his stuf?
-Dude, they love his stuff.
-Really?
-Yep, love it.
I wonder if they're the same size as the recent Buffy Season 8 omnibus? It's not the same size as the average collected editions. More closer to digest size, like other books they've done in the past for Alien vs Predator, Sin City, etc.Those Hellboy omnibuses are up for pre-order on Amazon and they're less expensive than I thought.
The largest volume, The Wild Hunt, is only $16 right now. Sadly these won't start coming out until mid-2018.
EDIT: Guess the Amazon media thing is broken.
It isn't (unless is just broke within the last few days), but it gets blocked by a lot of browsers and plug-ins.
....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I....I am conflicted.Bendis will be taking over writing duties on either Superman or Action Comics.
Same. Jurgens is planning to exit Action Comics the arc after #1,000. Tomasi has been absent for several issues of Superman already. It could go either way. I'd rather lose Jurgens than Tomasi, but I'd also like Tomasi to more consistently be writing Superman issues.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I....I am conflicted.
...and my feeelings that Superman and Action Comics shouldn't be separate series have JUST doubled. Unless they make Action Comics a freaking anthology series again.Bendis will be taking over BOTH Superman and Action Comics.
Well, unless Frank momentarily switched from Yiddish to Chamicuro . . .*Tuchas
I'm not good at Yiddish.*Tuchas
It's okay, goyim, it was clear what you meant.I'm not good at Yiddish.
I've only ever seen it spelled as tuchus, so I looked it up and there's like ten accepted spelling variations.*Tuchas
I'd actually read Teen Titans then....and my feeelings that Superman and Action Comics shouldn't be separate series have JUST doubled. Unless they make Action Comics a freaking anthology series again.
BUT HEY-it frees up Peter Tomasi to write more Super-sons books and POSSIBLY be the one to take over Teen Titans from Ben "I'd rather be writing Green Arrow because I'm better at that" Percy!
Smart man, ONLY read the ones that are either tie-ins with Metals or written by guest writers like the "Supersons of Tomorrow" storyline, or that one written by Marv Wolfman where Starfire has some motherfucking actual good lines for once!I'd actually read Teen Titans then.
But I have a feeling Tomasi will be taking up one of the post Justice League: No Justice teams that sound like they'll be replacing JL, JLA, Titans, and Teen Titans.
Yiddish is an imprecise language.I've only ever seen it spelled as tuchus, so I looked it up and there's like ten accepted spelling variations.
None of which Frank got
