Yeah, it would have been nice if he'd gone one step further and acknowledged that what he said was not ok. It was gross. That such jokes play on bad stereotypes, etc.
But I give the guy credit for raising his hand. He didn't have to identify himself as the asshat on the panel.

Honestly he may have just done a mental calculation and realized there were enough details provided that someone else would identify him anyway, so he might as well get kudos for doing it himself.
Trying to play all those comments off as jokes is about the only funny thing in this discussion.

i don't know about that - apparently he trolled the original post and was outed, so he just publicly apologized. but if so, his comments were deleted pretty quickly.

I bought Wolves and The Mire a few months ago, but i haven't read them for some reason. I really like her art like a lot though, thanks for sharing. listening now
Zero #1 was crazy, much like when i read Sheltered, it could go either way though and i don't have that much faith in me liking the series going forward. Still...fairly good start. I like that it's more than just a secret agency book...like The Activity. This isn't a random book that you should feel comfortable ignoring though, get the first issue.
side note: during the
aftermath of the sex scene, i had flashes of South Park george rr martin wiener game of thrones song. I'm holding that against Kot

Zero issue #2! Zero issue #2! No one should be deprived of the glory of that comic, man. After issue #1, I also thought the series might not be for me. It made me a little nauseous actually with all the violence. Still might drop it after the first arc. If I was gonna read any top secrety killer agent book, it would be Kot's. But I just don't know that the the themes will hold me long term.
Sheltered had potential but it's a mess. I called my local shop to drop it and dude was scandalized. The creators live in my city and frequent the shop. But like I told him, as there's no crying in baseball, there's no loyalty in comics. I really like Brisson's Murder Book, though.
I started and have been burning through the new Archer and Armstrong series. Man it's soo fun and good. Another winner in an impressive valiant reboot. It's essentially the spiritual continuation of the incredible Hercules. And once I made that analogy it dawned on me Van Lente was co writer of Hercules so no wonder it felt so familiar.
Green Lantern: New Guardians was really damn good. I think Justin Jordan has a great idea going on here to continue to take Kyle off in his new direction. A delightful blend of old school sci-fi, mixed into the super hero genre. The art was also fantastic. Great use of constructs.
In the defense of anyone who makes those fake apologies: if they truly thought what they said was unequivocally wrong they most likely would not have said it/issued an immediate retraction.
"sorry my humor offended you" is more sincere than the alternative.
Batman Beyond Universe #5: I'm really liking where both the Batman and JL:U stories are going. They are capturing the magic that made the Animated Universe so great.
Terry encounters
Melanie of the Royal Flush Gang, again again?!
We learn that "Zod" is the Kryptonian version of "Bob". "Kneel before Bob!"
The return of
Brainiac and it's a hell of a opener.
The Shazam Family kicks some ass! I like this weird new take on them.
Cannot wait for this comic. All New Marvel now is shaping up to be more hniverse changing and career altering than Mrvel Now. Hopefully there are no Morbiuses.....
I liked the first issue of Zero enough, but I was sold on the concept by the 2nd issue after I saw what he was trying to do. The title made sense after that issue.

also, I hope its not just me and Mr. Chew reading Private Eye, cuz its pretty legit
I'm going to buy the Zero trade, it's been decided. I read the first two issues of Private Eye and liked them, then bought issue 3 and never read it...then neglected the series because i'm ridiculous and spend my time reading 10 back issues of Mind the Gap that i ordered without reading the first issue and i don't like it.
This made me LOL. And pushed me to finally turn my attention to Private Eye. Read the first two issues and fixin' to read the rest later. Yes, it's GOOD, ok? It's good.
Also read Pretty Deadly #3. Then went back and read #1, #2 and #3 again. And.. I get it now. It's becoming clear. I see it! I understand! Nope, whoops, lost it. Confused, again. But seriously, issues 3 tied a lot of stuff together, which was raaaaaad. And I know it's been said time and again but, shit, it really is a freaking gorgeous book to look at. I love how Rios draws bodies and faces, in particular.
reading the last couple issues of Morning Glories before dropping it, issue #34. I still like this series, and it's still annoying that it's so reference-heavy to obscure things in previous issues. I can't follow it, i say this after every issue, there's a " pretend theory" discussion page at the end of each issue now giving theories over what's happening and those theories are necessary because the book is near incomprehensible without having each issue in front of you with page notations on where to look things up at.
i've already decided my new years comics resolution is to quit buying so many comics Xo
Yeah, I dug this, too. Simone's Sonja is just a bad bitch. I mean, she gets drunk, makes sarcastic jokes, becomes angry and slays fools. She's wonderful. And it was nice to see a complex female/female relationship explored. Far too rare in comics.
Killing Tiath, though? I get that Sonja is brutal but wasn't that kinda foolish?
Interesting twist though. After discovering it, I'm curious to go back through the issues and look for the clues. Curious, but lazy.
Dunno how great the list is in terms of ranking and what not, but I found 3 comics I wanted to dive into ASAP; Nowhere Men, Buzzkill and Sex Criminals.....
Started Nowhere Men first then working my way to the other 2.
