Anti theft sticker right on the page. Have you no decency!?

The comic books featuring the character parody the superhero genre, just to clarify.

I’m currently reading DNX along with its X-Men and FF tie-ins. It’s my first time reading any X-Men or FF stuff and I’m enjoying it so far for the most part. It’s also the first title / event with tie-ins that I’ve bothered to collect and keep up with.

But we’re about halfway into the event and each week I keep finding myself having to go back and look at or even completely reread previous issues. I’m seriously debating just putting it down until I’ve collected the whole run. I think it’s 12 issues total between the three titles.

How do y’all tackle longer events and tie-ins like this?

(Image from The Incredible Hulk #312)The first image is digital and the second image is a scan. This isn't meant to be a salty post or completely hate on digital recolorings (although I do dislike a lot of them.) Is there any way for them to actually emulate how the colors looked on newsprint? I feel like SO much of the emotion is lost with the digital colors. I do think some of the colors aren't completely one to one, which is a different issue.

Laminated some images and put them inside an unmodified store bought acrylic box. The box is approximately the size of a short box. Purpose was to be able to put the boxes in a bookcase and look nice alongside books.

On a side note, I just uploaded this post a few minutes ago then deleted it as the photo contained metadata such as the GPS location where the photo was taken, what phone model took the photo, etc. Not something I wanted so I subsequently took a screenshot of the photo on the monitor which captures no metadata.

What are your predictions for the artist doing Grant Morrison’s sequel to Arkham Asylum?

A while back it was planned to be Chris Burnham, but we don’t know if that’s still the case.

My ruminations:

Liam Sharp - good, recent working relationship with Grant and has an intricate style that could capture the insanity required.

Doug McKean - this sure would make more a headline worthy event (as if it wasn’t already) and a blast from the past but I sort of doubt McKean is interested unless he’s somehow gone broke.

Kelley Jones - depending on the concept I think this could be a really cool choice. I don’t think we’re in for a book that necessarily feels like the original. I expect Grant to take us somewhere new. Maybe a more cartoonish vibe could fit. I guess I just think it’d be a cool team up.

Bill Sienkiewicz - if the book does end up trying to recreate the essence of the first book than I think this may be the closest we could get from a known comic artist.

a new reader so I don’t know much about what to get I’m between daredevil born again or f4 but maybe I’ll just get neither of those and get another one

So, just finished the trade and curious what others thought of it. I think I find it... not really a "waste", but it reminds me of SECRET EMPIRE (the event, not the OG arc). It does feel like it's holding up a mirror to current day (well, a couple years ago but <5 is "current" in my mind) and has some good intentions... but is such a nothing story with a rushed/aborted ending that any substance it may have had is immediately washed away.

I dunno, did anyone else read this summer event? I wouldnt blame you if you dont remember it. Entertaining enough "alternate universe" tale and bringing in different artists for the elseworlds parts makes it feel a little more fleshed out. The James Stokoe part focused on Doctor Spectrum stood out to me for sure. If you like au's, I'd definitely get it from the library. There's fun to be had with it.

But yeah. Uh, I think this was like part of Jason Aaron winding down his AVENGERS run which was a mixed bag. And you'll feel that here too. It's not bad necessarily but it's not very good either. Just kinda mid.

Stuff like this is why I love Silver Age comics
