Clearly not enough Snakes.
I think it's great, but the whole thing is leading up to some sorta shock reveal.
True art is never unanimously praised/understood.

Weren't both of those Editorial mandates? He wrote the twist in City of Bane as a fakeout but then an editor came and said "no no keep it that way i like that"
This thread is making me realize that I haven't bought a single physical trade or collection this year online or otherwise. Nor have I stepped foot into an LCS at all this year. I've gotten rid of a bunch of extra floppies I got as swag from events in the past to declutter my bedroom. It's nothing rare. Just New 52 #1 issues of Super Man, Aqua Man, and some other stuff.
As for the poll, I read bits and pieces of all four writers' stuff. But I don't have a strong feeling for any of them. I think Tynion IV's strongest book (that I've read at least since I haven't read his cape stuff) is Something Is Killing The Children. I haven't read it past the first issue. And he gets points for teaming up with Michael Dialynas who's a super underrated artist. Just look at the TMNT stuff he gets commissioned to draw. 👌
But Cates' Guardians of The Galaxy run made me cry so I would probably give it to him on that alone. I haven't read any DC stuff this year so Snyder's stuff is alien to me. And the odd way Undiscovered Country is written turns me off from his creator-owned stuff. I find Hickman's stuff overwhelming. I tried reading East of West but dropped it along with the X-Men reboot and spin-offs. Yet, I heard good things about Decorum.
I'm quite surprised Zdarksy isn't on the poll given his popularity here. 🤔
I don't know how I ended up on David Pepose's email list considering I haven't reviewed comic books for an outlet in a year. I might have left my email on my Twitter bio which is probably how he got it. But I got a review copy of The O.Z. #1. I'll give it a read and figure out where to post it. I have a Medium account but I heard mixed things about it.

It's just so Messi can make a list of all the people who don't vote the way he wants and have them shadowbanned

How is this one rigged? I voted for Tynion. I'm pretty shit at rigging stuff if that's the truth.
I think Vic was making a joke about upcoming US senate runoff elections in Georgia. Some republicans are saying they shouldn't even vote because democrats will just rig it... somehow? Yeah.

I haven't read it in years, but I thought Sanctuary was incredible.If you guys wanna learn about Japanese political history then I suggest reading this.
For example, there's a furry political party.
And they make love to each other every 3 days.
So... everyone should watch Urasawa Naoki no Manben.
Naoki Urasawa (Yawara, Monster, Pluto, 20th Century Boys) has his crew set up mostly unmanned cameras to film a mangaka for several days, and he and the guest talk about their history, style, methodology, working conditions, and all sorts of stuff. It's great when they just chat about their favorite pens or techniques for different things. You learn a lot about famous manga, the industry, and the creative process.
I decided to make a list of all the people he interviews (he does an episode by himself, too) and some of the work their known for. Some of my favorite mangaka of all time (like Asano, Igarashi, Ikegami, and Ito) are on here, as well as a number of people I'm learning about for the first time. I highly recommend tracking down episodes you're interested in (or all of them!), because it's super fascinating.

I want to see one with Paru Itagaki. She would have to keep the mask on all the time.
A lot of mangaka are super private and wouldn't be willing to be filmed at all (even with a mask). They did convince Ikegami to come on by only filming him from behind while he draws, and when he has to show his face, it was covered by art he drew:I want to see one with Paru Itagaki. She would have to keep the mask on all the time.
Einchy, you posting Sanctuary reminded me to post about this show, since he's the artist for that series.
She's private enough to not be openly photographed, but she does go to signings, so it's possible to meet her. I only know her as this face here:
That's how she draws herself for the comment pages in the back of Harta volumes.
Yeah, I've seen that in the volumes of A Bride's Story and Emma.She's private enough to not be openly photographed, but she does go to signings, so it's possible to meet her. I only know her as this face here:

For fucking ever
It's been relevant as recently as Bunn's Fearless Defenders

This. They don't show up on the new releases list in the app until a bit after that, but they're searchable.
Interested to see how the last twelve issues of Tom King's Batman run were kinda gonna shake out.
Tynion's enjoyable and has been a huge hit for DC but I wish they'd have let King finish that full run before cutting it short. They already committed 80+ issues of the damn thing.

It being Black Label might work out better. Catwoman can actually have Helena and Bruce can actually grow old and die in out-of-continuity land.
