Eh, why do we hat Snyders Watchmen? I think its an fucking amazing movie.
Man, alone that Intro with the Minuteman. My god
It's a pretty damn good movie. It's not without its less appealing moments, but for a Watchmen movie, it's about as good as it gets.
I've been waiting for it to be finished to read it all at once, but that's encouraging. I've been missing some good Steve Rogers stories lately.
You're really in for a treat. Book is a lot of fun.

Yeah, Captain America: White is really good.
A readable Jeph Loeb comic in 2015, whoda thunk it?

Watchmen as a show is a bad fit. It'd be best as a mini.
Now something like Y the last man would be a great fit for HBO. Of course so would Preacher but we are unfortunately getting that on AMC

Wasn't there some backlash 2 days ago on me for whay was perceived as not being inviting to newcomers? This title is putting people off from even entering the thread.
I have to agree with Sarah.
There's some major false equivalency going on here. Two entirely different situations. Going at it with someone you don't perceive as being a regular and this thread title are two different things.

Jeph Loeb comics are the definition of unreadable; Captain America: White is by Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb. Tim Sale is why it's good.
Yup, the only thing mentioning it from time to time is just to remind people of Tim Sale, cuz that fellow does not get brought up a lot

Watchmen seems like an odd choice given the movie already existing. Curious if it is a prequel or just a re-adaptation of the story as a mini tv series. I'd rather they do Sandman on HBO than as a movie.
I want to get excited for red pants superman but Jurgens has never impressed me.

Why does he wear the mask!?
That's good to hear. Have it on my to-read list. Will do so tomorrow.
There's nothing wrong with Loeb.

Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum
I can't believe you're surprised.

His stories and writing are very cringy and poorly done.
When Loeb works with Tim Sale, that comic ends up being great like the 2 books you mentioned.

From what I understand, Loeb never really recovered from the death of his son. His old stuff is before that happened.
Also why I'm reluctant to rag on the guy, despite not being what you'd call a fan of his current output.

They are gone? Awwww
Can you spare a cup of Spider-Clone serum?
Whut?

Is anybody keeping up with We Are Robin? I keep almost picking up the run due to art but I'm super suspect of Lee Bermejo's writing.
I need spider-clone serum rhak
i'm gonna die!
SLUG! Did you hear about more Silver Surfer? Please respond!
oh, dang it. Sorry to bother ya.

YOOO! Tim shared the great news with me and then I got incredibly excited and reread some issues. Slott and Allred are doing the definitive Silver Surfer run that nobody ever knew they wanted.
So now I'm waiting on a Runaways ongoing announcement. Because it has to happen, right?

I've only read the beginning but Bermejo's writing was super solid, and i tend to be really critical of how young characters are written. Need to catch up tho
His son died and he lost his mind.

That's why I keep hesitating on picking up the run. I think the concept is fantastic, but I just couldn't handle any hack-y/cliche ass writing on it. Good to hear it's solid, though--I'll hop on it next time I grab my books. Thanks, Serp!
It's good. Loved the most recent issue.
I would lose my mind too tbh. You're not supposed to bury your kids. I still think he's doing a great job.

It's good comics. Solid character writing, an intriguing plot, great art. Especially in the newest issue which is just astonishingly gorgeous.
Really into Remender's Falcon-Cap, issue #3 continues to be strong (but did they really kill Nomad?)
Also good was Amazing X-Men #15, part 1 of the new juggernaut story. Amazing continues to be the most traditional X-men book/team (Storm, Iceman, Colossus, Nightcrawler, etc) so it hits the nostalgia bone I guess. It shouldn't be a surprise that Extraordinary is my most anticipated X book (which will also feature those 4)
Man that's gonna be such a good team...Storm, Colossus, Iceman, 'Crawler, Magik, Jean and Wolverine (even if it's young Jean and Old Man Logan). X-Men don't get any X-Menier than that.

Woah, what, that's true? That's incredibly sad. I honestly had no idea that happened to him.
Where do you think Sam, aka Kid Nova came from? I'm not even saying that in a ad way, I actually like Sam

This is true, but can you blame him? He's been through some shit.

He named the current Nova after his son
Falcon Cap is amazing all the way to the end. He is so cool. Beautiful book too.
Heroes and Agents of Shield are the worst shows i've tried this fall, watching episode 3 of Heroes now. I'm making plans to read a comic book tonight to compensate but i can't decide what.....Autumnlands? Something with a vol 2 coming out soon so i can decide if i want to buy that? I am in the mood for tiger boobs.
I am always in the mood for this
