Happy weekend, everybody!

In this thread, you can talk about:

  • What you've been reading this week
  • What you've been watching this week
  • What you've been listening to this week
  • What you've been doing this week
  • Basically anything that isn't overly offensive or anything like that. I don't know, be "responsible!"

Cover/Pin-Up I will always find it funny that when it comes to their premier magic users, Marvel is like "Old, distinguished man with a huge cape." and DC just goes "Idk, hot chick in fishnets?"

Arkham Asylum Sequel Artist?

• Upvotes

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.

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

Question Joe Kelly ASM Vol 3 and 4 TPB Question

• Upvotes

Looking to get into Joe Kellys Amazing Spiderman run and the trades for Vol 3 and 4 seem to have issues bouncing between every other. Is there a reason for this and does it read better to just go single issues route? (Not a fan of digital, bothers my eyes)

HEROES REBORN (Aaron/McGuiness event)

2 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Do y’all read all your singles as they come out, or do you save them up to read in chunks?

26 Upvotes

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?

Question Best Way to Collect Alan Moore's Swamp Thing?

0 Upvotes

Hey Guys, I'm a big modern day Swamp Thing fan, so I've always wanted to go back and read the Alan Moore stuff, but their seems to be so many editions and collections of it, I'm not really sure which one to get. So can someone who has read the run or owns it recommend the best , but most cost effective way to get the entire run (in physical form)

Thanks in advance

News Spider-Man: Noir returns in 2027. Venom will appear in the very first issue.

6 Upvotes

Fans of Peter Parker’s detective-themed adventures didn’t have to wait long for good news. Marvel Comics is preparing a limited-run comic book series titled *Spider-Man: Noir*, created by Alex Segura and Farid Karami. The first issue will hit stores in early 2027, presenting the hero with a difficult moral choice.

The live-action Spider-Noir series, produced in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video, will not be getting a second season. The series, starring Nicolas Cage, was met with an enthusiastic reception, earning a 92% critics’ score and a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite its critical success, the project was halted due to behind-the-scenes conflicts over copyright and technology.

The main reason for the actor’s split with the studio was his strong convictions regarding artificial intelligence. During an appearance at New York Comic Con, Nicolas Cage confirmed that he refused to sign an AI waiver. The star criticized Amazon’s technology policies and announced that he would likely no longer work with the company, opting instead for independent projects and a role in the upcoming fifth season of HBO’s *True Detective*.

However, the brand has not been abandoned, and the character is returning to his roots. Marvel Comics has announced a new, limited-run comic book series titled *Spider-Man: Noir*, created by writer Alex Segura and artist Farid Karami. The first issue will hit the market on February 10, 2027.

Custom comic box

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.
