Comic Books!

Also, I never thought I'd see Wolverine, Lady Deathstrike and Sabertooth on the same team.

Sabertooth's personality got inverted in the Event Axis so he is technically good-ish now, he was on Uncanny Avengers briefly.
Deathstrike after 616 Wolverine's death kinda went in a good direction during the Wolverines weekly series.

^ so let me understand this Marvel . . . you'll bring back (redacted) from the dead, but you won't properly retcon/undo One More Day?

If Marvel erased that from existence I might actually give their books the time of day.

[Ray]

Give thanks to your Cinematic Universe Marvel. If this was back during the days of comic only publications, without the movie tie-in giving you free publicity, you'd be dead!

[movieartman]

Cable's creative team. Solid enough.

Teen Titans Rebirth Issue 01:

I like some of this issue, I don't really care for other parts.


Fanservice (no not that kind)

SPOILER: Show

I'm not a big fan of Ravens redesign. It looks a little too 'hot topic' for me. The red hair dye and piercings put more emphasis on the 'teen' over the 'titan'. Wally West is black now. That ordinarily wouldn't bother me, but the thing is I think this version of the Flash would be better if he was his own original character, and not a reboot/retooling of an already existing character. He has the mannerisms and powerset down, but it's just the name 'wally west' that's makes me think of the previous version of the character and takes me out of the story.

[Chuckman]

Is that

Mr. Mind?

[Ray]

It's just a worm in an apple. But it's designed to look like 'Silky' which was Starfires Mutant pet worm in the original series. Found that to be a nice little callback an Easter egg for fans

[Chuckman]

Oh okay I knew it was significant but I wasn't sure how. I never read OG Teen Titans.

The Hanna Barbara characters are getting some one shots crossing over with DC characters.
Space Ghost has one with Hal and they got the artist who did the interiors for the Space Ghost mini series in 2006 or so back to draw it.

Hope Space Ghost gets a ongoing soon.

Finally got around to reading the Sandman Overture today. Fantastic stuff, as is to be expected.

[Shinoyami65]

I enjoyed Sandman Overture, although I would still rate it slightly below the original Sandman run, if only because the original Sandman stories also had subplots involving humans and their stories which grounded the narrative and made it a bit more relatable (whereas Overture focuses mostly on the cosmic, and takes place primarily on alien worlds and dimensions). Overture entertained me, but I didn't really feel much of a connection with any characters (other than Morpheus, perhaps), possibly because the story moved fairly quickly and didn't really focus on developing any of the side characters.

[NemZ]

True, though it does tie up some loose ends that in turn affect the human stories later, especially Rose Walker. It does give a little time to Mad Hettie though.

Meeting the Endless' parents was quite unexpected, and really just raises more questions... especially who the hell is Dusk, an 8th sibling?

[movieartman]

Civil War 2's end teased a continuation of the God Butcher/God Bomb Thor stuff in the future timeline Loki apparently will gain Gorr's weapon.

^Speaking of Civil War 2

Dark Knight III is outselling it.
