Maybe you should've nominated them, Messi!!!
Go read it and tell me if it's good.
The cover really pulled me in and I'm a huge sucker for deliberately retro Ghibliesque steampunk fantasy. I'm just worried it won't be anything but that.
EDIT: Well I took the plunge. Coulda got it on CMX but it's basically the same price physical.

I actually read Mad Love the other day
Boy, that
Harley slept her way through school
Is this the first Eisner list since Tom King started getting nominations that he hasn't been nominated?
Nice to see The Dreaming and Naomi on there, and Bilquis Evely, Steve Pugh and Ian Bertram nommed for artists.

I had the same thought about King. Heroes in Crisis being underwhelming and Strange Adventures starting recently probably ruined his chances this round.
Agree about Naomi. That book was great, and the art was gorgeous.
Picked up Lego Marvel 2 while it's on sale. After hunting a Nazi and lynching him on a ferris wheel in Mafia 3, I needed something more lighthearted. Still bummed it doesn't have any X-Men but I heard Gwenpool is in it so that kinda makes up for it (I already have the first one).
I wonder how the next Spider-Man game will handle the NYPD. We still gonna see Peter using a mass surveillance system to track crime? 🤔🤔🤔
the superior and actually canon do not debate me on this Harleen deaks with that bit of lore in a way cooler and more mature way and this is why it's an instant classic

I also have always supported this dream. I prefer his solo work. Anything that gives us more Sunstone and Fine Print quicker.
I also do not believe that he's not working on Harleen stuff. He teased too much for him not to do it. He's likely taking a break.
Seriously, they might just edit out all the cop stuff, That shit was very BLAH in the first game, they tried to get you to prep for hunting down the cop who quit in the first game.
Remember in Spider-Man 2 (PS2 era) when you put in a cheat like "realamericanhero" or something to play with a police skin? Even as a kid, I thought that was corny garbage.
Edit: Slightly misremembered. It was Spider-Man: The Movie, and the cheat was "realhero."
I don't think I've trusted the cops since elementary school, because I only saw them harass and never help anyone. They sure as hell didn't help when our house was robbed, but I'd been followed around as a teen countless times by cops while just driving normally. Small aside, but they've just never made me comfortable. I thought in Japan that they were much better, because they helped me out, despite me looking different.. but I've come to learn that J cops aren't any better. Cops are cops.
Anyway...

We'll get cop villains but they'll all be individual Bad Apples or privatized mercs funded by Kingpin or something.
From what I remember the cops are a pretty much meaningless part in an otherwise amazing game. Yuri is pretty much the only cop that matters. The rest were insignificant annoyances or you having to save their incompetent ass. Either way, small part if I'm struggling to remember them and I'm still playing the dlc lol
Need a cop killing Punisher movie to really confuse them. (Not comic, because it wouldn't get as much recognition)
The Man Who Shot Lucky Luke
I think there's more Space Western comics than there are regular ones.
[/QUOTE]
Hit the Night of the Owls stuff in Red Hood. Some really great flashback scenes to Jason and Tim moments, and also Jason after his training. Sadly looks like Rocafort left the book pretty early on, right around the Court of Owls crossover. Think im going to get the physical trades for the Rebrith stuff for that Dexter Soy art and just read the rest of the New 52 digitally.

Yeah, fuck Japanese police too. I had to justify my existence a few times and produce official documents simply for walking down the street I lived on. I lived in a lame/boring part of Tokyo that no one breaking the law would bother with (other than the bosozuku idiots).
Yea I had to read that twice lol. Thought it said Infinity Stash at first, then I was like wait what!
You all wanna talk about cop villains, as much as I lambast Spencer's Cap run(s), the AmeriCop stuff was raw as hell.
The Sirens dream is dead then

Sejic changes his business plans so often but rarely drops anything completely. See Death Vigil and Ravine coming back. I don't believe he's dropping it.

Ravine?! God damn, that book was coming out when I still went to comic shops.
Yes I know it was released in two OGNs not in singles.

Yeah he's remaking it in his newer quicker style. Less world building more focus on the characters and he can tell the full story. Won't be doing it until 2025 tho.
He said he just can't let go of the ideas. But he was only learning how to write and world build during that time and he overdid it.
Ravine was gorgeous, but god damn those books were an info dump and a half.
Yeah... I got stopped by Japanese cops a couple times for random searches, and they made me provide proof I was there legally... I thought it was fine at the time, but in hindsight, with everything else I learned about law enforcement and the justice system in Japan... they're still bad, especially to Black residents. I had to come to a friend's rescue who didn't speak Japanese to interpret between him and a cop. The guy wanted to search my friend's bag for drugs.
I mean J police were always polite to me, but I know what they do, so they don't look good in my eyes anymore. At the very least, they're better than American cops, but that's such a low bar. I had a friend who hit some cops after they found him in the street in the red light district, after he'd been drugged, and they didn't charge him or anything. They took him to the station to sleep on the bench and told him what happened when he woke up. Still, one good story doesn't excuse the system.
