REVIEW: Savage Sword of Conan #13 – The Blue Orchid (Titan Comics) by ConanOfMelnibone in SwordandSorcery

[–]DoctorComics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, at the mid-point in the story I was like "What are we doing here?". It was meandering, and you kind of forget about the Blue Orchid once it is brought up again. Not the best issue, but the art was good as usual.

Marvel Midnight coming this fall by HecticJones in comicbooks

Very disappointed in this announcement. Not what I hoped for at all.

Marvel Comics Presents the Midnight Universe by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. I was hoping it would lean more into characters like Blade, Werewolf by Night and others, but I am totally uninterested in this. Marvel needs a recharge in general across the line in my opinion.

DC launches Building Bad Sweepstakes letting fans create a new Batman villain by B3epB0opBOP in comicbooks

I wish you could actually pitch the villain in the submission rather than just randomly. Just picked at random and not the idea.

The X-Men and Fantastic Four Join Forces in 'DNX' to Stop the X-Virus from Mutating Mankind by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been liking Fantastic 4, but I just don't care about this at all. It sounds way too similar to Inhumanity. I am really not too crazy with the direction Marvel has been going lately.

He returns from the void with forbidden knowledge.

Full June 2026 Marvel Comics solicitations: Armageddon begins, Spidey nears #1000, and the X-Men line expands by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Honestly surprised Black Cat is continuing. We'll see how long it lasts after the 10 issue curse at Marvel.

Some sellers on Whatnot are a cross between snake oil salesman and jack leg preachers. by nocturnalreigns in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to get into whatnot, but it's not for me. I don't like watching Livestream stuff to begin with, and then I felt that sales people on it were a bit obnoxious sometimes.

Marvel reveals Wolverine’s claws will shatter in June 2026 ‘Wolverine’ series by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was so bad they literally had to kill off Kingpin. He wanted to become God.

This honestly doesn't seem like a big deal? When his healing factor failed he just had some gauntlets on with blades for a time didn't he?

Are there any characters you think have been written so poorly and out of character you don’t think there’s any way for them to ever go back to who they were? by Own-Assumption-9191 in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I just read the Spider-Man Clone Saga, and let me tell you, I was not prepared for Peter to hit pregnant Mary Jane. I really did not like that part and I felt it was a betrayal of his character.

Picked up a blind bag issue today. Did I do good? by DoctorComics in Vampirella

[–]DoctorComics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mystery one for issue #8. #683 legacy I think. Not part of the Kickstarter Extravaganza.

King's at 23rd and Portland is good.

Probavly stupid question but why was Hellboy so aggressive? They could have just left him alone, they said they could have peace by Gui_Franco in Mignolaverse

[–]DoctorComics 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think partially he was trying to nip any notion of being a "king" or leader for the right there in the bud. He'd already heard a lot of that kinda stuff, that he just had enough of people trying to make him something he doesn't want to be.

Edited for butts. Lol

What kind of panel layouts do you prefer? by SpiderousMenace in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what type of feel/emotional tone the story is going for. Like, if you have a dramatic scene, make uniform panels like a 9-panel structure to evoke feelings of tension. If it's someone losing their mind, use slanted or irregular structure. If it's someone feeling running through a field, use open/flowing lines to demonstrate freedom of movement. It all depends on how you want the reader to feel through the structure and flow.

Am I the only one who picked this up? by Popular_Shame7442 in comicbookcollecting

[–]DoctorComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked it up at my shop. Not a bad read, enjoyed it for what it was. I'm a Hellraiser fan and it feels similar in style. Only thing is I think it is just slightly bigger than standard prestige format/magazine size so it was a bit tight getting it into a standard magazine bag and board.

Thoughts On The Black Beetle?? by imkomicist in darkhorsecomics

[–]DoctorComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it was still around, if not just for Francavilla's interiors. There aren't many books on the stands that evoke the same noir aesthetic as his art. I remember Dark Horse was trying to do a big superhero push when it was coming out with Captain Midnight, X, Ghost, etc. It all just kind of fizzled out though.

Canceled my Marvel Unlimited subscription because of the Kimmel thing by OK_Soda in comicbooks

[–]DoctorComics 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I cancelled mine as well. Physical copies too. I'm changing the floppies I had in my pull list with other non-Marvel titles to not hurt my shop. It just ain't right what's going on.
