Akirasan and Tom Brevvort need to get fired if they stumble Ashes and I feel it might flop anyways.
Good to know. I'll have to read them
I'm really excited for this. Just reread Ultimate Invasion and I can't wait to see that universe developed more with The Ultimates.
Probably going to give the rest of the line a reread shortly as well.

Spider-Society Series Calls Forth Every Spider-Hero from the Multiverse
Spinning out of the hit 'Edge of Spider-Verse' comic book series, Alex Segura and Scott Godlewski's 'Spider-Society' launches this August.
Four issue mini about the antagonists from Across the Spider-Verse. Bold strategy releasing it over a year after the movie.
Marvel has 3 ideas currently and it's fucking irritating. Almost everyone needs to fuck off at this point.Spider-Society Series Calls Forth Every Spider-Hero from the Multiverse

I wish it would just stay as an ongoing. I don't need or want a new mini series every single year acting like *this* is the great big Spider-crossover. Just give me a monthly anthology book about the different spiders meeting and hanging out, with one off self-contained stories about new and weird multiverse spiders
I feel like unless something is at least 8 issues then I have almost no interest. For most writers 4 or 6 issues of decompressed storytelling means that there's not enough covered for me to care. If it's good I'll just resent it for being so short. If it's bad then it's a waste anyway.
I swear, it's either too many Spider-people or too many Bat-people. These companies need fresh ideas.
Part of the issue is the audience. Mid as fuck Bat and Spider books sell while Demon Knights, Hellblazer and West Coast Avengers don't. Some good books get ignored by the masses which pushes companies to take less risks.

This is a total disgrace
Outside of Mr. Terrific and Jo Mullein they don't even really have many good Black characters that could carry a book (this is an indictment of DC, not a defense of their current status quo). Naomi could have been cool to stick around, but it looks like she has been forgotten. I'm not a huge John Stewart fan, but this is indeed a disgrace.
John Henry Irons can carry a book, imo. Just need to get him out of Superman's immediate shadow.
I like the character, but I'm not sure he could carry a book outside of an elite creative team. Like Cyborg the character has potential but needs to be written extremely well to work.
I dunno I think King Kong would be a Red Lantern.this is peak comics
I hope James Gun uses Mr.Terrific as a main Justice League member in his cinemetaic universe.
It would defintely help him shine
Seriously, they should have asked her what she wants to write and said yes to whatever she requested.
I think Kelly Thompson is great and I don't really care much about Marvel, but with that said I don't get the narrative that they squandered her talent. They put her on lots of books (a nice mix of high profile and quirky), many of which were widely read and critically well received.
Metal kind of ended my interest in Capullo's work. He's talented, but he seems to choose the worst projects in recent years.
Static would likely have the potential to sustain a good book, although I was out of comics when the show was on, so I personally have no nostalgia for the character.
Jace could work, and I read his series, but it always felt like they didn't really give him much of a personality. In his own book it seemed like he was the least interesting member of his family.

I'm here to announce that Freeza is announcing the end of announcements
Just got to this and went O.ot.
The Marvel product that with Ryan North and Ewing, but I hope that this is a wakeup call for Marvel to change course.
I've read some of the AWA stuff.
Resistance - Neat concept but I thought the actual books were just decent. Still, I read them all so I guess I enjoyed them well enough.
Hotell vol 1 and vol 2 - Fun horror stories.
Marjorie Finnigan Temporal Criminal - I didn't enjoy this one very much and dropped it about halfway through.
Newthink - I have it but haven't had a chance to read it yet. It hear it's also good.
Not All Robots - Same as the previous. I have it but haven't read it yet. I also hear it's good.
Sacrament - I really liked this story. If you like religious horror stories, this is a good one.
Ribbon Queen - I've been enjoying this one. Not the best Garth Ennis but one of his better recent ones.
U & I - Same universe as Resistance. I read the first issue but not sure if I'll pick up the rest.
I'm trying to get back into comics with the recently released stuff from Marvel. Really interested in a proper adult Peter and some x-men with the 97 hype. Anyone got any recs?
