It's such a garbage thread with horrible takes. It's definitely gross to talk about replacing him. It's especially horrendous less than a week after he died. I had to put it on ignore.

Fuck You for making us remember that miss America Chavez comic
Cebulski mentioned a few weeks back that it and certain other books are still coming.
That comic was so bad I dropped it after half of the first issue.
lolol. I spent time thinking that was some kind of parody or something.
The only parody is that Marvel paid someone money to write that.
How is it that Ramon Villalobos is consistently tied to shit writers - either in quality or as people?
if people would've bought David Walker's Nighthawk none of this would've happened
Everyone is gonna address it but some of those takes are just.
That fucking brain transplant idea is fucking what?
What a trash fire
What a good book
Batman was awesome this week. Jimenez is killing it every issue, but this one especially.
Strange Adventures continues to be interesting but I have no idea what it's leading to.

Rivera has recently done another comic that got good reviews so made me wonder if it was just her not gelling with capes.
Less analyzing and more applauding women dating women.
That text is so bad. Worst comic of the last decade and I read Our Love is Real.
Finished the first Frank Miller Daredevil omnibus and yeah, it was great! And it only got better as it went along. As soon as Frank took over and introduced Elektra, there was a marked leap forward in quality. And honestly, I was expecting the quality to drop once Frank stopped doing pencils, but it was the opposite Janson's work was outstanding.
It wasn't perfect, mind. But with such a dramatic tone shift from one author to the next, that's understandable. TBH it felt a lot like Moore picking up Swamp Thing, only Moore legit cut out everything he wasn't interested in over 1-2 issues and Frank Miller took 10+. That first issue with Becky Blake, Heather Glenn, Deborah Harris, Black Widow, Death-Stalker, and the Ani-Men is unlike anything that came after. And all four of those women were cast aside relatively quickly.
Everything with Elektra is great. Everything with Kingpin is great. Bullseye gets interesting after his early appearances. Even The Hand, which leads to some major white savior/racist asian tropes, still leads to some interesting plotlines. Hell, I was even growing enamored with Turk, the only recurring non-white character that Daredevil seems to delight in beating the shit out of.
What I was surprisingly totally not into was Daredevil himself. He just seemed like a device from which the story revolved around but didn't really care about developing. It's almost like he doesn't even matter in the story -- he skips out on his job and relationship without any real repercussions the wholeway through. Then his radar goes down, his senses grow too strong to add some drama, but it's so big of a deal that he misses out on an important event. The more modern Daredevil I've read has much more depth, is much more easy to empathize with. Of course, I'm only one omnibus in to what's clearly the start of a dramatic shift for Daredevil.
Very excited to continue with the next omnibus, the Frank Miller Companion.

You're probably right I'm reading through the first issue right now and it's like everything is technically fine but it's also poorly paced and awkward. But based off of my three minutes of googling it looks like that was her first comic which could easily explain that awkwardness.
"What the holy menstruation" is a line in this comic.
I don't know what's happening in this book she goes to I guess like a multiversal college and it's implied it's her first day but she goes directly to a class? Usually with a story it helps to like introduce your secondary characters like at all.
Okay you know what I made it an issue and a half and I'm bowing out this is terrible oh my god.

It's funny how America is the only comic we measure in half-issues when it comes to how much we can withstand.
Didn't she make America being Latina a choice because she was an alien from the Utopian Parallel where there are no Earth-based ethnicities? So it was a super awkward speech where she described in detail a justification?
Why do I remember that being a thing somewhere?

I'm not defending the book
Maybe Maybe
She's doing a Grant Morrison experiment where she has characters talk like a silver age almost parody hence shit like holy menstruation and Kate Bishop speech about lesbians
Still terrible and would point to author being comic newbie
I feel dirty bringing Grant Morrison

Or, in this case we use the all powerful Occam's Razor
She's a bad writer
I don't want Gabby Rivera to attempt the same metatextual magic that Grant Morrison tries to channel.
If her America Chavez breaks through the pages, we're all doomed.
Out of thousands of words you could've pick and they went with menstruation.
I'm convinced that this panel was the beginning of the end of Alonso's tenure at Marvel.
it's incredible that someone who was raised in what is the best of all possible realities in the marvel universe sounds this goddamn corny
It can be both!!!!!
It just feeks like a parody of like old goofy comic but done crappy
Almost like done by a writer probably didn't read a lot of old comics
Idk it's terrible also Chavez goes to school for no reason
Only Kelly Thompson is allowed to write her now
If she does I'm betraying you all
Al Ewing gave her a genuine relationship in Ultimates
First issue of her solo series throws it away just cuz

We have Ewing doing Guardians.
Ultimates was just a test run for him to take over Guardians.
Ultimates>Ultimates2>Rocket Raccoon>Royals>Guardians

I'm guessing the JLs drop their investigation to help join the Stranges in their war against the Transformers, but Terrific can't let it go and tries to reveal their desception, but that falls on deaf ears because everyone else buys the story or dismisses his concern for what they think is the greater good.
Guardians needs more Hypercrisis sprinkled in.
But at least it has Moondragon.
OCCAM'S RAZOR!
Remember when the Riddler decided to use his OCD for good and became a private investigator?
Good times.
Private Eye Riddler who posts on the same detective internet forums as Batman and Detective Chimp to steal their insights is my favourite Riddler.
Making the Riddler a detective and a 'good guy' was perfect for the character and a great idea by Dini.
So they did it for about a year and then he went back to being a villain again. Sigh.
You have to assume any major change to the status quo like that is going to be undone before too long.
Character development and redemption in comics is an illusion except for some membership of avengers or xmen

I miss good guy Riddler. It's the kind of character progression that could've stayed. Does Bruce need the Riddler as a villain? C'mon.
