I can't believe the US death toll doubled since yesterday. That's insane.

Now that all my classes are all online im close to Beckley.
My man right hereFelt good to get a couple of books in. Both of them look great. Hadn't made an IST order in months.
Now you actually have to read the book, though
Damn now I need to read Harleen so I can read Isley
So Kingdom Come?
It's great too
Couldn't stop laughing at the first two panels, but the actual arc is some real heavy shit and Derington draws the shit out of it
Basically, it deals very heavily with the hypocrisy of the Justice League's terms and conditions under which the decide on whether or not they interfere with standard governmental law enforcement, political, and military affairs. They get put on trial for botching a police raid that results in a dead nun. In addition, a self-assumed group of "fans" of the Justice League are killing political enemies to keep them from being opposed, but they also want to return things to "the way they were." The Fan, as he's called, refers to John Stewart as "that soul-brother" and Jessica Cruz as "the Mexican chick," as there are too many damned Lanterns that ruin the "purity" of the original green. That's an example. The Fan knows everything about the League and even though they can overpower him easily, he's a liability because he know everything about them and they won't execute him.
Anyways it has very similar elements to the Cadmus arc of JL
It's very uncomfortable the whole time, and I want to root for the League, but I can't because the people have a point. There's a hypocrisy to how they operate.
Red Lion is just Black Panther if he was the worst. He's not gentle or kind. He's not from a spiritual bloodline of kings. He's a despotic ruler who supports ethnic cleansings and war, in a country that is constantly at war between tribes. He adopts some kind of tribal name and persona in addition to the Red Lion and his legal and birth name. He's nuts and a great villain.
My comic reading has been stunted this past week cuz I've been playing a lot of Teamfight Tactics, but 1,000,000 is going well. It's pretty sharp for an event. Everything ties together pretty well. I still need to see the core story come to a satisfying fruition to call it a success, but I'm at least curious about where things are going which I haven't been for some other events I've read recently.
I think DC One Milli stuff comes back in down the road in GMo's JLA run, if you haven't also been reading that.
I know that. I meant here. Since there were more than a few people saying its incredibly generic and a total drop off from the previous arc... which I just don't agree with.
I feel very well rested.
also Batman Superman got so much better once it stopped featuring thr Batman who LMAOs. Nick Derrington is fantastic.
I mean the first arc is still really good and also has Marquez on art.
Thats what it was gonna be before didio left, sure
It's such a fun ride, and we havent had a batman book like that in a long time so it stands out even more
Finished Priest's Justice League. Boy that was something. Figures Deathstroke would play a major role.
Anyways I'm gonna read Talon next since Tynion's got me feeling his Bat mythos.
Metal (plus side stories)
Justice League by Snyder (one issue to prologue his sol
Batman Who Laughs
Batman/Superman
Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen
Death Metal (which will conclude his arc)
Anyways I'm gonna read Talon next since Tynion's got me feeling his Bat mythos.
I mean he's pretty easy to avoid. He's only been in like 4, soon to be 5 books all for 1 single storyline:
Metal (plus side stories)
Justice League by Snyder (one issue to prologue his sol
Batman Who Laughs
Batman/Superman
Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen
Death Metal (which will conclude his arc)
Wow, Superman Red Son movie was surprisingly good. I haven't read the comic so I did not know what to expect.
I feel like this is a recurring thing in a lot of Remender comics, though... never mind a few consecutive issues. Portrayals of suffering, loss, and nihlism permeate many of his more modern works, and it's something he even played with in older comics like Strange Girl.
Yeah, it's pretty much in all his works, but Deadly Class is special in that the protagonist is a super negative teen and so every single issue has an internal monologue, no matter what the hell is going on in the story, the monologue is always there. Just shut up Marcus, god.
I feel a lot better a out the pandemic when I think about how if this had happened 2 years ago, my governor would have been a corrupt Trump shill and the head off he county another corrupt dude who is literally in jail right now. Instead we have Generic Republican Man and the county executive is an ex-doctor.

That's a really good idea. I have a small gap I could do that in.

Not a huge fan of the cowl. Its a very messy design. But I'm sure he'll change it as he goes. I love his Selina tho.
Yeah! There's so kinds of chibi style versions of her doing cute stuff in the book and as fan art out there. I'm sure you can find a good one you like enough to get tattooed on you.
things must be bad if wonder womans having to work with fugitive sanctuary killer.
Am I dumb? What are the gold pieces on the chest supposed to be? I like the satchel and the belt.

Pirates aren't looking to pay for comics. Those numbers don't automatically become sales that's a fallacy.
Yea I dont expect a lot of people who are already pirating to just switch over if its cheap enough. I think the thing that would bring pirates over would be to offer books that havent been easily available to them already, but I dont know what that would even be other than older back catalog. I think the biggest market for an app like that would be new readers and people who have so far only bought physical comics (which would defeat the purpose hes proposing).
I only sub to Marvel Unlimited and DCUniverse when theres something I want to read and its cheaper to just sub to the app than buying the issues on CMX. Which doesnt happen all that much. If MU and DCU had books released on the app day and date with the LCBS I would probably get an annual sub, but I also dont see that happening either. It would just be a mess.
BUT, I still believe there is another option that hasnt been explored yet. Dunno what that would look like, but there has to be another way.
Bingo. Nothing is easier than not paying. You can have a service that is cheap as dirt and has everything anyone could look for, and piracy will still have numbers.
I figured. Something about those bothers me. I think it's that there are only a couple, maybe?
This is why "perfection is the enemy of progress" is a saying that's endured so long.
People argue against models that would convert a decent amount of pirates because they wouldn't convert all pirates. Ignoring that even if that new model was merely good, the current one is very bad. Sales for even the top-selling comics each month are in the toilet.
Go where the readers are, rather than trying in vain to force them to go where you wish they would be.
