I've been reading Judge Dredd for years, but it was only recently that I figured out why the holster for his Lawgiver is on his boot instead of his hip like normal. It's because he spends so much time on his bike that a calf-holster is much easier to draw from.

Lawgiver is on his boot

He keeps boot knife in there also. Always goofy when he pulls that out.

Mike Baron's "Nexus

That's a fun series.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Lady Killer was fun. I'm kind of surprised Joelle Jones hasn't done a sequel.

 

[Commander X]

Another that could be considered a space opera title would be the Marvel Comics Epic imprint series Alien Legion. I've read the whole series, including the later series from Titan that was supposed to have been published by Dark Horse.

If you're not opposed to superhero stuff, the entire Annihilation saga was probably the last good thing that Marvel comics produced.

I've recently read Dan Abnett's Guardians run which I believe was a follow-up to Annihilation. Abnett's writing made me want to slit my wrists. (DID YOU KNOW MOONDRAGON IS A LESBIAN?!?!?!?!?!!?) The art was okay. Well-drawn figures, terrible paneling/layouts. Is the actual Annihilation event better than his Guardians run?

The original Annihilation event is faster paced, more action packed and epic feeling. It's also more of Keith Giffen's creation, with some help from Abnett & Lanning. I'd also suggest first reading #7 - 14 of the 2004 Thanos series that Giffen did, it serves as a set-up for some of the Annihilation stuff (#1 - 6 of the Thanos series was done by Jim Starlin and not really related).

The sequel, Annihilation Conquest, is more Abnett & Lanning's creation with some help form Giffen, then after that Abnett & Lanning mostly take over.

She did do a sequel called Lady Killer 2. Not even joking

I'm not familiar with much of Abnett's comic work, but I genuinely liked his run of Sinister Dexter for 2000AD.

Its actually kinda amazing how much Abnett's run on Guardians cribs from Warhammer 40k. (And, given how critical he is of the Imperium stand-ins, also should have served as a warning not to trust him with the Siege of Terra. I'll let Warhammer fans explain how badly he fucked over the lore in that shitshow.)

I'm halfway through Ellis run on Moon Knight. Last month I got Ellis and Lemire's runs on the character, and so far he's great.



And that issue set in the One World Trade Center was really good too.

I know. I have the hardcover. It's just it ends on a cliffhanger. I was hoping she wrote a third story.

He is like 70 years old. What kind of dementia leads to this?

 

[Commander X]

Uh-oh.

Seriously, fuuuuuuuuuuuck off with this garbage.

Another sign of how desperate the "House of Ideas" is, even moreso than before.

Place your bets, what will this story actually involve:

Bringing her back to make her Spider-Gwen

A complete fake-out

Someone is actually going to steal her corpse

Actually, bringing her back but sans spider powers, or any other type of powers

Oh, what's the strategy here, besides the usual Marvel strategy of the past several years of "ramming repeatedly into a big brick wall with a big DON'T sign on it"

the problem with leftist criticism of the neoliberal war machine is images like this go unfathomably hard View attachment 6928409

Nobody actually cares about or for brownies, libtards just want to stick it to their dads, aka neoliberal establishment

Is Norman Osborne gonna fuck her again? Or are her and MJ going to get together and double cuck Peter? What terrible idea do they have in mind?

 

[Tor Lugosi]

I remember Joe Quesada's original idea for One More Day was to reset Peter's life back to college and bring back Gwen, so that he could 'restore' the Betty and Veronica dynamic (that never actually existed) between MJ and Gwen vying for Peter. I wonder if this is another attempt at that retarded shit.

 

[Anon88]

I really hate the way marvel treats dying. It cheapens the stories so much when they just bring all the dead people back in the end as if it didn’t really matter at all. Anyways it’s probably just a way to get Spider-Gwen into the main marvel universe because miles wasn’t a bad enough of a idea and they need to repeat their bad decisions.

 

[Tor Lugosi]

Has anyone here been keeping up with Spider-Gwen? I really liked vol.1 but gave up somewhere in the middle of volume two when it basically became misery porn and seemed to detest the idea of being a superhero book. Did it get any better? Are they still trying to push Miles and Gwen, even though it's pretty inappropriate for their comic versions (and I think the original Spider-Gwen writer tried his best to downplay and avoid it)?
