That's a shame. I would say that most of the Marvel Larry Hama run is excellent. There is some good IDW stuff and Devil's Due stuff but it didn't have consistency. But the Marvel stuff- until you started to get to the end of the line- was very consistent. The Skybound stuff is onto a great start so far.
Yeah, same, when I was a kid, I saw the G.I. Joe Movie with Channing Tatum, Absolutely Loved it. Got a bunch of the toys they released and played with them non stop. Never once read one of the comics.
Here here! Great Alan Scott moment! Green Lantern is the high point for me. Definitely in my top 10 of the year. G.I. Joe right behind it. Also, Transformers, Action Comics, Absolute Batman. Pretty solid week, unless you’re a Marvel fan.
It's crazy and cool to see Space-Ghost succeed. Many people consider Alex Toth as one of the all time greats but his IPs haven't transitioned well if at all to this point, and then this (space-ghost) is picked up by a creator that many don't have the highest regard for (some do like his prior work) and he seems to have found something he knows perfect. I think Space-Ghosts origin story is one of the best simple origin stories for any superhero I have ever read. I can't wait to see the future of this IP and hope it expands and goes on for some time. It may have the power to "make all his other creations relevent" (not like they ever weren't) to the modern audiance - I think its the kind of IP that could perminently stamp Pepose's name with Hama (g.i.-joe) and the like.
The second issue of PKJs Batman and Robin series absolutely kicked ass this week, am loving that series so far. Have been super busy with work this week though, so transformers, GI Joe and green lantern are still sitting on my to be read pile, looking forward to getting into those tomorrow, especially hyped for Williamson finally being back on energon stuff!
You guys should check out the Goon mini series. It is very good and strikes a good balance of comedy horror and drama. TF 14 was good, but I wish it explored the back story of Starscream a bit more. I was surprised that his "alliance" with the Mars group ended so soon (and in brutal fashion), but at least the combaticons are reunited Hopefully DWJ won't kill them off like he did with the others.
Oh I like that Drew recommended a book without pictures lol! I never knew Batman resurrection was a thing but you totally got me interested. My coworker just got me to start reading the Witcher series, and although i have no interest in playing the video games, watching the Netflix series, or reading the comics I just finished the first novel and it was a great read!
I'm looking forward to reading Josh Williamson's G.I. Joe, as I feel like he's one of the few comic writers today who still understands most characters (see his Damian Wayne and Green Arrow series).
Adam is a gem. He’s sending me GI Joe #1 signed by Williamson! I was going to pick it up from my lcs but all they had left was an $11 variant cover one that I don’t want.
For Action Comics, I like that Clark and his parents Jor-El and Lara defied the Science Council for attempting to confiscate the Phantom Zone Projector before Jor-El and Lara secretly and successfully stole parts of the Phantom Zone Projector, surprising and impressing Clark. My only criticism of this comic is seeing Kara (a version of her from before Krypton’sd destruction) here, since she’s supposed to be bore after Krypton’s destruction and Argo City’s survival (just like pre-Crisis). Also, Aeythr attempting to take over the earth. Aside from that (along with the Conner and Kenan backup, which shows them dealing with the Khunds), this comic is great! For the Supergirl backup, the only good thing about this is seeing the Super-Twins Starchild and Red Son defeating the Ultra-Humanite and Clark telling Karen that Kara is in space and that she’s needed. The rest is Kara learning what her prisoner did, which should’ve been explored more. Overall, this backup is okay. For the Perry White backup, I like that Perry took a walk in Metropolis to reminisce about his entire life since he started working at the Daily Planet before he told Clark that things are going to be different if he becomes the mayor of Metropolis. The missed opportunity should’ve shown him reminiscing his experiences as a reporter starting with him meeting Clark Kent Superboy in his early years to his entire pre-Crisis Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth history all the way up to the present. I also like that the Daily Planet release the results of the election, which is Perry winning as the mayor of Metropolis. Hope we get to see him as Mayor in later Superman books. Overall, this backup is great. For Batman and Robin, I like that Bruce and Damian were able to free themselves and others from a fire in ten seconds before Damian learned about his grandfather Thomas by Bruce. I feel bad that Damian saw someone got hurt and that there is nothing for him to do except for relying on someone to save her. Also, Bruce telling Damian about Memento. Overall, this comic is good. For Green Lantern, I like that the entire Green Lantern Corps (including Alan, Hal, John, Guy, Kyle, Simon, Jessica, and Jo) were able to save Kelli from being harmed and freed Mogo from being consumed by the Red Lantern with Sinestro’s help. Also, the return of Kyle as the White Lantern. Hope that they will be able to defeat Lord Tharros and save the corps by the next issue. Overall, this comic is great! For Black Lightning, I like that Jefferson told Lynn everything about Absolute Power and the consequences of that event before he goes to work as Black Lightning, including meeting a new meta human named Issac Mitchell, interacting with Superman at the new Watchtower, and realizing what happened to Anissa because of her powers. The surprising thing about this comic is Anissa and Grace Choi breaking up off-panel (although it’s unnecessary for them to break up). Overall, this comic is onto a good start. For ASM, I like that Peter tried to get his life together (although it won’t last because writers and editors refuse to have Peter grow up and have responsibilities) before he was given powers by Doctor Doom to defeat Cyntros as the Spider Supreme. Overall, this comic is interesting, onto a good start, and better than the Zeb Wells run. For SSM, I like that Peter and Miles (and the rest of their cast) tried to help their friend Julia on how to control her powers and discover what she is with help from Kamala Khan and NYX, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm, Hydro-Man, and Champion’s Viv Vision. Also, the two Electros meeting each other. My only criticism is the whole Miles and Kamala romance tease, which is (in my opinion) unnecessary since Miles is with Tiana and has a good friendship with Kamala. Overall, this comic is good. For Deadpool, I like that Ellie met and interacted with Valentine Vuong, who told her that her what happened to her and Wade’s relationship, before they and Princess all worked together to try and bring Wade back so that Ellie and Princess can have their dad back and Valentine can have closure while dealing with villains and MODOK. Also, Taskmaster trying to handle dealing with the mercenary business, becoming Ellie’s mentor and coach, and realizing that being a mercenary is the easy part. Overall, this is good and hilarious!
Would you say it's worth the weekly shipping date? I picked up the first two issues and enjoyed them, but then fell off because of how often it was coming out, and how many other new good books DC is putting out.
One of the few points of agreements I have with Wes is that Waid is just too much of a scumbag, especially after Perch’s allegations, for me to give my money to. Also, do YOU want to give a 62 year old with the emotional maturity of a 17 year old your money or time?
I checked out last issue because I was drawn in by the cover. While it looked good next to absolute Superman it was nothing special. Felt no necessity to pick up next issue
The recommendations sounded good up until the last one. I hated that goofy-assed batman movie when I first saw it, so I'll be damned if I'm going to waste my time reading a novelized sequel expanding upon that corney iteration of the character 😑. Thanks for the first five referrals, though.
It's funny that Wes is still salty about Ram V's tired Detective run. I stopped reading it right before it ended. Are you going to give The New Gods a try? I'm going to give it try and hopefully it won't be tiresome like Tec.
Snake-eyes is a gen one joe he was the commando figure .
It’s funny when I was growing up GI-Joe was my favourite toys, I had so many figures & vehicles but I’ve never read a GI-Joe comic.
That's a shame. I would say that most of the Marvel Larry Hama run is excellent. There is some good IDW stuff and Devil's Due stuff but it didn't have consistency.

This is the first week in years that I wasn’t disappointed in anything that I picked up
Saw Starscream. Clicked.
Oh how it pains me to do this....
The art still looks good on Transformers, I like the look of it, think it looks cool.
I’m enjoying Transformers and SG too but I’ve got a feeling they’ll be featuring Orange villains in the near future. I hope I’m wrong though.
Want more Optimus doing suplex moves.
I love the Space Ghost comic, barely saw the OG show
I realized no mention of Saturday Morning Adventures TMNT?
If it came out this week, I didn't get a copy.
Keep up the good work against bad modern day comic books.
You guys should check out the Goon mini series. It is very good and strikes a good balance of comedy horror and drama.
TF 14 was good, but I wish it explored the back story of Starscream a bit more. I was surprised that his "alliance" with the Mars group ended so soon (and in brutal fashion), but at least the combaticons are reunited
Hopefully DWJ won't kill them off like he did with the others.
Green lantern has been great
What’s up guys? Cold weather is finally here.
Oh I like that Drew recommended a book without pictures lol! I never knew Batman resurrection was a thing but you totally got me interested. My coworker just got me to start reading the Witcher series, and although i have no interest in playing the video games, watching the Netflix series, or reading the comics I just finished the first novel and it was a great read!

I thought the DC vs Vampires was pretty good this week.
I second Batman: Resurrection.
Finaly making good comics, too bad they driven off so many people, that there not many left to buy them so they still not making high sales.
Batman resurrection I got the audiobook.
They made an audiobook of a comic?
@InfamyOrDeath-__- it a novel
So another week without any Marvel title worth to read.Tsc. Absolute Batman 2 was more fun than first issue. This Batman is very crazy.
@ConTrollerNorth2 There was nothing bloody goofy about the First Burton batman!
I have a question for anyone on here: Are you reading the earth-prime comics ? They are A sequel to the arrowverse.
Adam is a gem. He’s sending me GI Joe #1 signed by Williamson! I was going to pick it up from my lcs but all they had left was an $11 variant cover one that I don’t want.

Too bad Wes won’t read any Mark Waid works, his action comics run rn is on fire.
Would you say it's worth the weekly shipping date? I picked up the first two issues and enjoyed them, but then fell off because of how often it was coming out, and how many other new good books DC is putting out.

The story has been pretty good, but I am not a fan of the art. The sooner that changes the better, imho.
I checked out last issue because I was drawn in by the cover. While it looked good next to absolute Superman it was nothing special. Felt no necessity to pick up next issue
The artwork in transformers needs help...
