If you're looking for originality, why are you reading the big two.

DC is letting Superman have a young son who also has powers, so how is that a lack of creativity? Those SJWs weren't buying the comics they demanded and if they did, it usually wasn't past the first few issues. (Of course, excuses were made.) I remember how in The Mary Sue the author of an article just wanted to point fingers for there not being enough sales for Angela: Queen of Hell (lesbian title character), but the fact that she never bought an issue destroyed that chance.

Why, it's like those people don't read comics!

But seriously! It's like these people don't understand that DC and Marvel aren't for telling even compelling stories, but rather exist so that two Multinational Multimedia conglomerates can have merchandise.

The fact that we're getting stories, sometimes, that are actually good is in spite of this.

As for complaining about sales, I'm reminded of the god damned Carol Corps. You know, those fans of Carol. That didn't buy her book. Because why would they?

And seriously, the SJW demanded comics are given every chance to succeed, even dipping WELL below the cancel margin (Kate Leth's Hellcat #3 is under 17k). The fact that Ms. Marvel is actually decent is in spite it being SJW demanded.

I guess they just want the "privileged" to do everything for them.

Oh, say it ain't so!

And to be on topic, the new Flintstone's series is FUCKING DARK. It's funny, but it's dark! It has my favorite gag with a suicidal veteran (one of the Water Buffalo members) calling a suicide prevention hotline. "You've reached the Veteran's Suicide hotline. Please hold." Okay, but this hold music better be pretty damn good!

I laughed like a maniac.

I hear that it's pretty much a heavy satire. In what kind of vein would you consider it to be? Is it like South Parks' kind of satire?

I... really don't watch much South Park, to be honest.

I just think it's funny. They tell a coherent story, but each panel has a gag. They're a literal Stone Age Modern Family, so the problems that people face 'today' are kinda represented in the comic? Issue 1 dealt with Fred being cajoled into doing extra work for his boss, Issue 2 dealt with both modern consumerism and man's drive to find some kind of guidance from a divine source, Issue 3 is summed up as such: We were really shitty to Vietnam Vets, weren't we? Also spring break aliens.
 
I just got the latest issue of the Jem comic and wow the new art style for it is awful. It's extremely sloppy. Thankfully the story is still good but the new artist they got on board now is a big let down.

From the previews, the art does look like shit.

I wouldn't mind the comic having a different art style if it was actually well drawn. Most of the guest artists they had in the past were pretty good. Now it's almost as bad as Squirrel Girl.
 
The entirety of Young Animal looks like it's going to be one hell of a head trip.

And it's weird what they're doing. Doom Patrol a la Morrison by way of the lead singer from My Chemical Romance (and it's good?). A psychedelic mind trip into the center of the earth with Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye? Shade, the Changing Girl?

Way said in an interview that he doesn't plan on leaving until he's done or until he's fired, so I'll have to follow where it goes.
 
So at NYC comicon, someone, at the LGBT X-Men panel asked about Gypsies (because why not) since they were of Romani descent and Peter David ripped into them and the whole of SocJus is going: OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE SAID THAT!

Despite the fact that everyone that I know that's ever dealt with gypsies calls them human locusts.
 

Is this true? If it is, then fuu, that's depressing. X-Men are one of the few Marvel characters that I like.

Also, is it true that Mary Jane will eventually be turned into a black woman, following the new Spidey movie? that might fuck over my cosplay of her...

There's been pictures of a redhead on set that wasn't black that might be Mary Jane.

So the black girl might just be a different character...
 
I just read Book 1 of Preacher. Great stuff, though Steve Dillon sucks at drawing faces.

While he's great with expressions, I agree that he seems to be able to only draw one kind of face for his females and unless the man is a total oddball in the looks department, his men need some work at times.

I'm a big fan of Preacher as well. Wait 'til you meet Herr Starr; he's one of the funniest characters with some of the best lines.
