I've been trying to put it into words and yet I'm just continuously at a loss
I love Transformers but for whatever reason I've never liked Beast Wars.
It's somehow a step too far lol.

I didn't care for it at first until it started making it's connections to "G1" (I don't think we were officially calling it that yet) more apparent. By the end, I really enjoyed the show, even if I never fully got on board with the toys.
Trukk Not Munky is funny to me because Beast Wars was my intro and a few years later I was all confused why these robots were turning into cars.
Tying to G1 at the expense of its own ongoing plotlines was where Beast Wars went awry.
Its even weirder because I like the regular transformers who turn into robot animals.
Eg, the Insecticons, the dinobots, Soundwave's tapes.
You all have some good kitties.
Why would I leave my watched threads? I'm not going out there.

DC are doing order amount variant covers instead of open orders? Bad.
Joelles art looks awesome and seems to be the same tone as her future state book which is awesome
Oh it's the guy who turned Stonewall into an upper class bar in that Snagglepuss comic? I'll pass.
Y'all are crazy, Russell's a great fit for this. I also dig the preview pages. Very reminiscent of Mike Weiringos work on FF.
Wait, what?
I had only heard good things about that snagglepuss. What does it do to stonewall?
For sure. I just always thought it was a very odd name.
Yeah, I'm sorta confused why they're doing this already.
i skipped it at the recommendation of my friends but the impression i was given is that it's a great queer comic for straights and a pretty offensive and out of touch comic for LGBT+. one of those comics that doesn't necessarily miss the goal but makes you think maybe they don't get the goal, like Man-Eaters.
You'd better commission a bunch of Yara art to make sure we have enough to go around.
I mean yeah it's very much about Queer Struggle in the mid 20th century, it doesn't pretend for an instant that lives weren't destroyed and ended at the behest of the straight majority, but I sure wouldn't compare it to Man-Eaters. The shit that happens in that comic demonstrably happened to queer people.
I don't remember Stonewall coming up in the comic (but it's been at least a year since I read it) so it's certainly possible the comic does that thing where Stonewall is reframed as the battle of White Gays and nobody else.

Stonewall - the event - isn't part of the Snagglepuss book. Stonewall - the bar - is included, before it was really a gay bar historically, and as sort of a generically pleasant establishment full of clean-cut dudes. Frankly, they probably should have just made up a fictional gay bar, because it essentially is.
I generally liked it, as it's the sort of "sad book about people suffering in a cruel and unjust world" story I like in any context, but I'm also culturally hetero and entirely white so I can't speak for it on any level beyond that.

fair. man-eaters is an extreme comparison. it was just the first thing to pop into my mind as an example of a lauded comic that actually sucked. again, i haven't read snagglepuss. but i was told by several friends that i shouldn't give it any attention.
Is the hype for Yara Flor real? I haven't seen mention of the Future State stuff at all. Are folk mostly just into it for the art and sex appeal or is there a good story there?
Yes. In this thread it's the former more than the latter but yeah.

Jones doesn't trace porn stars and steal other peoples art as far as I know.
Or maybe she's just better at it lol.
Guess I will look at another DC ongoing this coming May.
Also the Marauders tie in for King in Black wasn't that bad, and certainly filled in a bit during the wait for the next issue.

Zack Snyder and his fans are the result of an Alan Moore spell cast on DC Comics for not giving him back the rights to Watchmen.
Heh, I read it all on CMX a few years ago and honestly it wasn't my favorite part of his run. Both the leadup issues in Prologue and the Inferno Omni itself. It's silly fun, but its also slow and plodding, especially the buildup.
That said, I am buying both Omnis.
