I gotta say sorry to the SW fans but I loved how she's used as the big bad boogeyman in X-men. She's absolutely perfect for the role, being surrounded and somewhat shielded by her associations with humans so they have an excuse not to gun right for her, and furthermore with her protected status she can be used as an example of how much humans hate mutants
Hellblazer, Far Sector, and Folklords continue their run of excellence.
Hellblazer was pretty funny this month.
John met the guy who had been magically defending England in his stead, and it was brilliant
old man John
Far Sector was the fallout from last issue with the protests. You learn some more about how Jo's ring works and what makes it different from traditional GL rings.
Folklords added a new twist at the end of this issue, but I think I can see where Kindt is going and how it'll wrap up next month.
I read Hellblazer #4 because of this post, and I really loved it. I didn't expect to laugh so much but the humor worked, and the balance tones between the standard Constantine book and the jokes was executed well. I also liked that the entire bit about how Constantine is popular among the online magic community and has fanboys. My only issue is the art, it's very stylized in a way that doesn't work for me.
Ah, I think Matias Bergara was s perfect fit for the tone of this arc. The art worked perfectly for me.
I picked up Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns The Golden Child after I grabbed my pulls.

that book was surprisingly good.
Just read Suicide Squad, and god damn it's so great. These first three issues were the introduction, and now things are gonna get wild
If it was one of the larger statues I would buy it in an instant.
I just ordered it due to this comment!
you're changing lives!
Anyone try Finger Guns?
I read six or seven pages in and so far I agree. Frank Miller can still write some pretty comic book prose. I am unfamiliar with this artist, Grampá, but his stuff is fantastic. It feels very fitting for a Miller book.
I am putting this away until the weekend, when I'll have no distractions. I am trying to power through two novels and a collection of scientific essays prior to March for the "50 books. 50 movies." thread.
Bunch of previews for Empyre #0, 1, and 2:
Man, im getting really hyped for this event lol. I see they are doing a mini HoX/PoX with Larraz and Silvia on Avengers Empyre #0 and Fantastic Four Empyre #0.
I need textless versions of those Cheung covers if anyone comes across them!

Justice League Dark #20 was GREAT. Really glad I stuck with it.
Unfortunate that the cover credits are completely wrong though. Says it was written by Tynion IV and art by Martinez Bueno, when it was actually written by Ram V and art by Kyle Hotz. And, man, Hotz sure knows how to draw horror.

it was surprisingly woke and he wrote a GREAT Darkseid.
They had them last week. I haven't read the X-books yet this week but think it's probably because of the wonkiness of short delays for X-Men and NewMutants a couple of times already this year
Man, JrJr's art in the latest Action Comics is ROUGH. Good layouts but everything else feels like it has deteriorated.
As it turns out, third-person narrative captions are a great way to set a tone of foreboding and mystery up WHO KNEW????
I thought it was already pretty obvious from HOX/POX that Krakoa already had some of the key characteristics of a cult.
I like JRJr, but the way he draws Grodd is insane.
And this one arc is taking forever. It's a five issue boring fight scene.
The good Bendis Superman book has flipped right over to 'Superman'
I like how Hickman just decided not to elaborate on why characters like Emma, Jean, etc. approved of that method to tamper down repowerings.
"This is how things are now"
"Why did these characters with decades of history that agree to this thing?"
"not gonna explain lol"
Wow, finally read Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Judas Contract, and that was...not good. At all. The premise started from so flaky a catalyst that the whole thing felt totally unearned. None of what she did made any sense. Like, she just decides she's going to start killing all heroes because Dick Grayson told her that our mentors shouldn't control our destiny?
Insane.
Insane.
Have you read the rest of them? Judas Contract is the one I didn't read.
Did it feel less earned than Lois turn into a supervillain?
edit: Or Blue Beetle. They're all kind of like that. One thing happens differently and everyone turns into a world killer.

I would bet money that we're going to find out why down the road when shit goes down and it's clear who the traitor(s) are that cause Krakoa to fail however it is going to fail. Playing that hand right now by peeking into the meeting would just already plant that suspicion.
that being said my most likely candidates are Sinister and Doug/Krakoa. Maybe we see one or more members of the Five partner w/other other folks because they get tired of their job?
It's Bendis dialogue over Maleev art, in the service of bringing forth a new Checkmate with a bunch of cool characters. I'm all about it, and I loved it, I think it's well balanced, but the aforementioned fact that it is things that I'm all about might have something to do with that assessment.
I'd love to see one of the Morrison era ugly mutants be featured in X-Men and get resurrected. Do you still get presented naked to a partying crowd if you're all gross?
as long as brisson doesn't get his hands on them. i don't trust him with my favs anymore.

Maybe we'll get a Checkmate ongoing by Rucka once Lois Lane and the Checkmate miniseries are over!
I'm just sour over other cancellations still. I'm getting wonder woman but I'm being petty about Batman collections right now.
i dont like these author-focused omnibi but for batman i'll make an exception
Haha. I didn't consider that the Hush omnibus wouldn't contain the original Hush storyline.
I know it's cause that wasn't Dini, but that's gonna catch people off guard.

I would LOVE to see that book.
It is shitty that they cancelled the Hush omni, but there is the Absolute. Dini's stuff though is so much better anyway. I will totally be getting it, even though I just went through the entire run lol.
