I'm starting to get there.
I love my Switch, but boy do I hate Nintendo and their baffling decisions and lack of effort.
i have the Switch and the Switch Lite, and I really like the hardware, and it's got a great library. But I can't stand Nintendo and their bizarre decisions on so many things.
If X of Swords is being collected by January there's literally no reason to follow it in singles. I can just delay any other X-books I'm reading and catch up later.
We have just had amazing lovingly reimagined versions of Crash Bandicoot 1-3 and Spyro 1-3 and then Nintendo comes along with this half assed fart of a collection.
They couldn't even give us a half assed version of Galaxy 2 for heavens sake.
Oh and Tony Hawk 1 and 2, that have been recreated from the ground up.
Trust me, no one wanted it to be solid dick more than me.
As for X of Swords, I ordered it when it was originally listed at a lower page count and half the price, so I am hoping that doesn't get desisted in favour of the new price.
Its a great fake because it sounds so like something that might of been a phrase back in the 60s or whenever that book was published.
Its absurd but its not so out there, that it might, might be true.
If I didn't know it is Bogdanovic on the Wolverine Vampire issues, I would 100% think it was Capullo drawing it.
I still haven't played that, so I'm pretty disappointed that it isn't in the collection. I won't be buying it now. Nintendo has been disappointing me a lot lately...
I wanted to support the character... and hope that the writer would change.
Hey Kelly Thompson was a cowritter for two issues!!!!
(She just consulted on the book because Kate Bishop was a guest star she didn't actually do anything but marvel for some reason gave her credit)
it's wild to me how she's become the designated sexy female character at marvel
really tho
when are we getting Magik solo series with JSC covers. you know that shit would sell like 200k copies.
Oh so they did actually do this idea. I saw a post on Tumblr discussing the idea of Riddler using his puzzle solving smarts to become a detective so it would give him something to do with it. And here they did do it for a while before turning him back into a baddie.OCCAM'S RAZOR!
Remember when the Riddler decided to use his OCD for good and became a private investigator?
Good times.
That is a terrible idea lol.
Eh can we get Frank cho back just to do the covers
The cheesecake will better
I hope non-readers don't think the movie Ilyana is representative of her. From what I hear (I'm not allowed in theatres yet) she's a bit of a bigot.
Magik is literally an anime character with that outfit lol
honestly the worst part of the outfit is that she's pretty blatantly the most sexualized mutant, yet she's arguably the least sexual of them all. at least until Hickman decided to make her horny for his """humor"""

I didn't reply right away because I wanted to think about it a bit. I think you're spot on, in feeling a lack of character in Matt during this run. Previous daredevil didn't exactly make a great character either, but I think that Miller specifically made Matt himself able to become something of a lead. Before this, daredevil was just a running identity crisis. So many identities and none of them fleshed out. Lawyer, vigilante, superhero, Widow Partner.
When miller comes in it's less about blind-lawyer-hero-vigilante-friend-introvert-partner and more about the tone of the world around him to make him just Matt Murdock. Silver Age comics are so shallow in some respects that when an artist finally takes a tone control it defines the character more than any event they went through. It's not until after miller that people start writing Matt instead of a bunch of identities.
Wasn't Matt before Frank Miller made Daredevil a dark book basically a Spider-Man ripoff
For sure. But he was very disjointed. Spidey was always a very realized character. Matt was a silent hero, verbose outgoing lawyer, ladies man, silent vigilante, mike. None of them ever landing hard because they're all personality traits that never really clicked with each other. And his partnership with Natasha felt even more out of place, even though I love it when they hang out now.
yeah for all the shit Rosenberg gets his interpretation of Magik as being a lesbian-leaning asexual was a really good one. go figure I think under him Magik had the more reserved classic New Mutants outfit too.
I'm not at all a fan of how Hickman's written her.
into the trash
It's definitely still at play during these Frank Miller issues, too. Lots of Spider-Man villains involved. Funny to compare Miller's Daredevil to his Batman, where his Batman felt like a dramatic "This is Batman pre-Miller, this is Batman post-Miller." His Daredevil, though, while it's still a dramatic shift, feels much more like a natural transition into something new.
Illyana's something now.
I don't hate this scene, but it's out of character for Ilyana. Seems like something that would've been better for Sunspot. I stopped reading New Mutants after Hickman left tbh.
Magik really should be flirting with Kitty more, but y'know...whatever.
BUT ILLYANA SO COOL GUYS SO FUCKING COOL
Also as a guy who read xfactor more than once and yost xforce Wolfsbane in new mutants feels so weird i get its hickman just fun and I like the book but her character feels off
She also looks younger but that's probably the artstyle

The All-Star collection I'm guessing is limited and then I'm guessing they'll do separate releases after that.
I'm assuming the Mario 35 is a Tetris 99 scenario?
Yeah and where the fuck is Galaxy 2?
OP
OP
Cover credit... So much so that she had to come out and distance herself from it lol
Hickman actually wrote that issue alone. Brisson seems to have a more balanced approach to Magik (see this week).
Hickman has just doubled down on the sadistic streak she's had for the past few years, which I can get if you're leaning into the demon corruption thing but it's been played a little bit too much for jokes. I think the last person to actually handle her well is Zeb Wells.
Basically, Zeb Wells should be writing every X-Men book.
Wait a minute
Daredevil can swing like Spider-Man
Street level character
Orphan with dead parents
Acrobatic fighting style
Super senses that can function like spiderman
Damn it Stan Lee lol
When I eventually do my chronological read of Daredevil most well regarded runs I'll keep that in my mind see his transition from spidey lawyer to miserable catholic with constant mental breakdown
Does this work on multiple books or just one again?In case anyone needs a used book.
Hell, you would probably save money too lol if it says at $50 ($100msrp)
The best part of pre-miller Daredevil is the lengths he will go to to keep his identity a secret (like Mike) but also how close he gets to being busted compared to other characters. For some reason people catch on early to blind, cane using matt murdock.
It works on a single order! So if you buy multiple books at once, it'll discount all of them.
So far Avengers has been pretty fun. I dont really like playing as Hulk, but im at the point where I can pick between him and Kamala each mission. Not a big fan of the skill trees either. They just dont seem like they make the characters feel different enough, rather they just give you more combos and attacks. Maybe itll get more involved as I go and unlock other heroes.
The story has been good though.

Oh nice, thanks!
That NM page gets shared a lot, but in Empyre: X-Men a Magik high on demon power tells Nightcrawler that he's cute and it's heavily implied she was going to tell him to be her sex slave lol. Shit's weird.
Nintendo loves those full-price re-releases. They hardly have to put in any effort to make new games if they just release the old ones from the consoles no one bought.
Which run? In recent memory, the E***s and Diggle runs were some of my favorites.
I'll may just wait and pick that up if they stick the landing.
I think the Switch is a great console. They just don't curate the eshop very well and have no problem adding mountains of shovelware every week so the good shit gets buried.
I've never played either galaxy game, but don't really have any great need to revisit 64 or Sunshine, so I'll wait and see if they release them individually.
I liked it. Loved the art. Though it felt a little short to me.
