I actually like the villains and the wider hero cast of MHA far more than the Big 3 protagonists.
For example I find Todoroki's dad way more interesting a character than Todoroki himself.

Todoroki might be my favorite character in that series but he doesn't get nearly enough attention.
It's not seasonal because it wasn't intended to be at the same level as MHA. And MHA's problem is there are too many characters. Black Clover very intentionally takes it's time to ramp up and introduce new characters after developing existing ones. But I prefer Deku to Asta because I'm tired of the lead protagonist being a "well-meaning stupid kid".

Kinda. Story's more about Dabi and Endeavor than Shoto. Depends on what he does in the coming chapters.
That vaccine goes as planned and watch these companies backpedal quick as fuck.
Honestly I find the main cast of MHA just... super boring. They all feel so "stock shonen" - like the best chapters are always when you have the whole class hanging out and bouncing off each other.
I have that problem with most shonen though, the closer you are to the "inner circle" of characters the less interested I am in reading about you. I'd say it's because I'm not in the demographic, but even when I was a kid/early teen watching Toonami I was like, fuck Naruto and Sasuke, just give me Rock Lee and the bug guy.

Hopefully not, because I'm done with cinema's regardless.
That's a fair criticism. I felt the same way up until the award commendations dinner right before the riot and after the first dungeon mission early on in the series when he tears into all the nobles there and goes on about how bullshit the classism is. It was at that point that I'm like "Asta is something special."
wat
Just think, once Future State starts releasing we can finally stop talking about Marvel
They saw that ViewtifulJC has been playing it

I go back and play the combat challenges every now and again. Very chill
The themes of classism and social stratification in Black Clover are top tier. But Asta still comes from that Goku mold of shonen heroes, even if he is my favorite one.
Also, the latest stuff in the manga is incredible if you need motivation to try it.
weird, the Zur en Arrh skin must have been part of whatever version of the game I got when I bought it on sale a few years back, because I definitely played through the whole game as Zur en Arrh Batman

It says "all Batman: Arkham Knight players" So I assume it was DLC or preorder bonus beforehand
I think it was originally one of those skins they were giving away via people linking accounts to that stupid WB app they had for a while.
must have been DLC, because I got the digital version that had all the season pass stuff bundled in
I think Arkham Origins is the only I've played as default Batman, iirc that's the only one that locks you out of suit changes until after you beat the game
Its a sellers market. All of them are going for 2x or even 3x the RRP.
To rich for my blood.

Ah ok thanks.
When the 3rd Deluxe Edition comes along hopefully they will reprint the first 2 and give me opportunity to spend more money than I should.
Forest/jungle warfare?Is there really any tactical reason to attach giant saw blades to your battle bot?

Ah the old cinder block wedge trick.
A saw would easily prevent such a thing happening.
Chop up any meddling street punks.
that's the wrong question to askIs there really any tactical reason to attach giant saw blades to your battle bot?
It's "is there any reason not to?"
Watching Robson Rocha getting since the beginning of Rebirth has been interesting. I was meh on his GL work but that all changed with a new colorist. Dudes been putting in work on Aquaman.

Bad coloring can destroy the best art. I've seen some terrible coloring and original art that is much better and the bad coloring destroys the detail. Then the artist gets blamed.
Janin with colorists that aren't Jordie Bellaire for example
There's nothing sadder than amazing penciling getting dunked on by poor inking and coloring. There has been some comics that I think have really subpar art but then I see just the inks or somethings even just the penciling and I'd rather just have that over the finished product.
Seven to Eternity comes to mind.
I liked June Chung's colors on Janin but they made Janin's work look plastic, plus that dreaded pipe scene.
While were on the topic, I just don't care for Gabe Eltaeb's colors also. It's make every character look so flat and boring. He's really holding back John Timms expressive work.
Started volume 2 earlier, so far have only read the first issue.
Could this run be any better? I love literally everything about this, I really hope this becomes the new status quo for the X-Men. What Hickman created here is fantastic and I'd really hate to see it go.
