Ewww. Not touching anything Dynamite for the foreseeable future.
Damn, who is Juan José Ryp. Really enjoying his work in Rai!
Another Valiant reader! Yeah it's cool artwork. I also enjoy it a lot.
Runaways remains solid - not 100% on how Rowell writes Wolverine and Pixie, but I'm realizing now I don't think I've ever read a book where Pixie was more than a background character so maybe I just don't know how the character usually sounds. Seeing impending drama with a potential Nico/Pixie pairing and frankly I'm all for it.
tbf, he makes perfect sense for a hellions book that's dealing with weird shit not addressed in other x-books. but otherwise, yeah, arcade gets way more attention than he deserves.

He learned how to draw dinosaurs from Quitely's Potato Academy.Damn, who is Juan José Ryp. Really enjoying his work in Rai!

Yea that art does look amazing. Are you reading this? Is it pretty easy to just enjoy it by itself, or is there anything else that should probably be read before this Rai book?
Saw this last night and lol'd. Wheres it from? The Next Batman?
Oh! A Japanese version of Demon Days doesn't exist! Cool, I'm back on the English edition, then.
Why do y'all repost your own Twitter posts? 😂
Nah. Looks like John Paul Leon art with the second to last Bruce costume.

Yeah, just started this run/trade. There's enough context introduced in the first issue that the aim and motivations seem fairly clear.
Most valiant books I've tried I've usually just jumped in on the first volume and not found myself too lost.
Written by Dan Abnett btw.
It's from the DCUI first Let Them Live series where they're publishing inventory stories. It was by some dude named Scott Bryan Wilson? Iy had John Paul Leon art and the basic gist of the story was pretty interesting, but I lost it at that panel.
because I'm lazy and it's easier to do that than upload it to imgur or whatever on mobile 🤷♂️
Arcade should be in books all the time as long as they remember he's a wacky showman and not friggin' Jigsaw.
I saw that! Super interesting that it'd have to be translated again. I don't have much interest in the Japanese edition now, as it wouldn't actually be the original.
Oh interesting. I assumed someone changed the caption.
JPL on a comic that may never have come out is a crime tho.
Arcade gets too much play but at this point I'm more annoyed when I see Mojo pop up. Everyone wants to do a wacky romp through alternate dimensions with meta-commentary about fandom and media and frankly I don't think it's ever been good or interesting.
I was down on Mr. and Mrs. X, after loving Rogue and Gambit, and the Mojo stuff in the back half was like a nail in the coffin.

Mojo's good sometimes. Spider-Man and the X-Men and the current X-Factor. X-Men Black.
The X-Men Blue and Gold crossover from a few years back was the most cynical horse shit ever though.

TECHNICALLY Jim Lee Vol. 2, Bishop's Crossing, X-Cutioner's Song, then Shattershot. :garf:
Mojo was great as a 80s villain riff off stuff like "The Running Man" and weird dimensional hijinks. And they were gonna have TV wars and mojo sequels and cyborgs and really weird stuff.
But none of that happened and no one does anything with Mojo they can't do with Arcade. It's like, the timeframe was missed but they keep dragging the characters along.
Look. It's not Dr. Doom or Thanos or any of the other villains they won't shut up about, I'll take it.
Is there any uncanny in Shattershot? Crossing happens during lee 2, so I just thought he was talking X-Men. :what's the other greener garf?:
saw the original review and even though it's mostly pretty stupid, i do agree that the SFX are kinda jarring. Some are written in japanese as part of the art, while others are added by the letterer on top of it, sometimes standing out. It's mostly fine but a bit distracting at times.
Just annual 16, which is a key part of the story, but the adjectiveless X-Men split is Jim Lee Vol. 2 (1-9, 10+11 A Stories), Bishop's Crossing (10+11 B Stories, 12-13), X-Cutioner's Song (#14-16), Shattershot (17-24), Fatal Attractions (25).
Uncanny goes Jim Lee Vol. 2 (273-280), Bishop's Crossing (281-293), X-Cutioner's Song (294-297), Fatal Attractions (298-305)
Collecting X-Men is a nightmare. I think those 10-11 b stories are just weird Maverick set up they never used.
I'm fine with Arcade and Mojo. I know some of it comes from that shitty X-men/Spider-Man game I got as a kid where Arcade was the main villain. No idea why I like Mojo though beyond the Scott Aukerman book and the action figure I still have for no discernible reason.
I love Arcade and Mojo.
Both great, fun villains.
I wish they would get used more honestly.
I wish that Mojo would get used differently. I think there are some cool things that could have been done over the years and there is always space in the X-Men for some wacky. But I don't want the same old Mojo stories.
I'm half way through season 2 of Bosch.
I wasn't enjoying it as much as season 1, but its picking up steam.
Seasons 3 and 4 are my favorite. 5 is alright, and then season 6 is really good so far.
Its like they took all those crappy CSI shows and made a better, more condensed version that puts them all to shame. Theres like 20 books in the series and I think im going to pick a few up after finishing this season. Season 7 will be the final one sadly.
Yea, but that was never going to happen. At least this new artist has a really neat style. I think they used to do the art for Blizzard.
Yeah I read up on it a bit.
It does feel like a better, more tightly plotted, police procedural.
I was kinda shocked they killed the Chief's son
I can honestly say I did not see that coming.
this was part of the games Kickstarter? Jesus that was years ago.
Does Battle Chasers even have a fanbase anymore?
I only vaguely know it via osmosis and that it randomly got a video a few years ago.
Was it that big a deal in the 90s?

Yea he said he was going to finish the series but said back in 2019 he wasn't going to be able to. Basically got to busy with his Airship games studio.
Makes sense they did that Darksiders spin-off and are doing a League of Legends game that sounds cool. Must be pretty busy.
If they are actually finishing the book I'll check it out. Think he originally said it would be 12 issues before he bounced.
TBH there's probably more people who know the game than the comic at this point, and not many people know about the game XD

Really?
Oh wow
I think we all knew Wiebe was biding his time and was trying to bring back Roc before Tess blew his shit up. Wiebe is such a pos.

That art looks pretty cool! It's a good idea he's only writing now even though I'd love to see him on art as well. Maybe this time he'll be able to wrap it up.
It was huge in the mid 90s. It was all over Wizard magazine, I doubt many people care at this point and if they do it's probably because of the game.
