Add Brandon McCarthy to the trash creator list


fuck. this one sucks. I really love McCarthy's art. But I don't feel comfortable supporting creators like that.
Shit. I've got the Milligan and McCarthy collection in my backlog.

Is there a lot of existing grumbling about Ed Piskor, or is that just one unfortunate/un-thought-out interview (edit: or two with the Chaykin one in the replies)? I just got into his Youtube channel, man 😂

You gotta be prepared to let the reverence for your old heroes die.
I've seen bits and pieces of more progressive creators not so subtly dunking on Piskor. I never read Hip Hop Family Tree, so I'm not sure if it stems from that.

I didn't see they did one with Chaykin... He's real gross. That's real disappointing.

That's my guess too, especially since Snyder has said Death Metal has "expanded" in the wake of Didio's departure. So we'll probably get Harley Quinn: Death Metal to compensate for her ongoing ending as well as tie-ins for characters like Red Hood, Supergirl, Shazam, etc. Will this be the first time since Flashpoint that pretty much everything has ended and DC instead puts out event tie-ins? Feels like it. They need this event to buy time in the wake of their 5G plans no longer happening.

I'm very curious to see what the post-Death Metal DC looks like. I'm hoping for a bunch of new blood on the books. DC needs it, especially more PoC creators.
The rumor was that they would be pulling more from tv and novels, but who knows now.

That was Didio's plan for 5G. Dunno if it will still hold true under Lee. Marvel has tried that and the results have been pretty mixed. But Far Sector is great so it's not entirely a bad idea.

I would love to see DC and Milestone finally get things figured out so they can bring the characters in to the DCU full on. That would be a perfect opportunity for them to have an imprint run by great poc creators and showcase new talent.

The newsarama thing killed all of their old links so it's so hard to look up stuff like solicitations. It also means the old articles are all lost too.

The plans they showed for Milestone before weren't good, so I would need to see it. DC need more PoC lead books in general though. All they have now is Batman and the Outsiders if you want to count that.

There are some big name writers that started off working on novels like Rucka.

i was literally just looking for the dc august solicitations. what an incredible fuck-up that they killed those links. that site's google ratings may be absolutely decimated as a result.

Yea I noticed that earlier when i was looking for them also lol. Such a bad call to redesign the site to make it more like GamesRadar.

Really like the Den of Geek site design. Gunna try and get something close to that tomorrow.

Marvel also absolutely needs to figure out something for the X-line next year. Going to stick out like a sore thumb if the entire writing team minus 1 is white given the subject matter. Maybe Ayala will get something else because Children of the Atom is already dead as fuck.

Meanwhile Ahmed's books and Champions are stuck in the pandemic limbo...

Those books will probably be back in September. It's possible they wait until Empyre ends though.

[But they do actually get their solicits up early and have textless covers for download. The design is just an added bonus.]

They just want to take us back to before the internet became a hellworld

Also that stuff actually reads pretty well on mobile tbh

Man it's hard to find genre fiction about queer dudes. Everything on CMX is generic yaoi, paddle arms aplomb.

Managed to find one series, Beast Heart! Strikers, that piqued my interest. According to the description it's sort of a queer take on Toku heroes.

I'm catching up with Spider-Man, and I guess I missed 2099 tie-ins when I was buying. Is it worth it to buy alpha, Spider-Man 2099 (one-shot), and omega?

No. It was a big waste of time. All you need to know is that the 2099 timeline was rebooted. ASM barely has anything to do with it despite the marketing and Spencer writing.

Ah, I don't read that. Did he rip off the JLU arc where they go to the future and one of the future Leaguers is John and Shayera's son?
wow he

he exactly ripped that one off (except it's not the future it's the future in a parallel dimension where everything supposedly went right)

When he started on JL he was pretty up front about being inspired heavily by the Justice League animated show, which is what led to the initial line up of characters. I don't think he's tried to hide this or claim that he's not riffing on what they did.
