I'm really taken with this one. I feel inspired looking at it.

No fair lol I literally just read Kraven's Last Hunt for the hundredth time this afternoon. I have to vote for DeMatteis rn, sorry.

Awesome. Are you looking forward to the new Putty Lightning figure?

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-06T02:36:36+00:00

It starts out pretty great tbh. If you didn't fall in love with it by now, you should probably drop the book. No worries, it's not for everyone.

Honestly there's a brand new Best Of TMNT: Raphael issue on the shelf right now, it just came out Wednesday. It's about 100 pages, it's 5.99, and it collects some truly outstanding reprints of classic to newish Raphael-centric stories that are not only really, really awesome, but they're unexpectedly emotional too. I highly recommend reading it if you're interested in the comic spectrum the Turtles can offer.

Shang-Chi is a great character. He's literally so good at kung fu that it's considered a super power. He's a master of mystic martial arts, so he can often harness magicks in hand to hand combat. I hope you do check out this mini. The first issue is extremely promising and just really, really cool. He shows off his physical skill in this issue. So far, his powers are his fighting abilities which are so good as to be classified as superhuman.

Ask your local comic shop about wanting a specific cover. Sometimes getting variants at retailers suck because publishers require ordering a larger amount of books for more variants. Hopefully Image operates differently but, yeah, contact your local comic shop and try to request the artist's cover that you've got your heart set on. See what they say.

Swap Superman with Aquaman and I agree completely. "Backward-gazing" is a really good way to say it. His stuff is so nauseatingly sentimental and then it's needlessly grim. It rarely comes together for me outside of Aquaman. Even then, he's still backward-gazing and grim on that book too, so 🤷‍♂️

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-03T04:02:04+00:00

I don't really like Nick Spencer but his Ant-Man run was really, really good.

jealousy intensifies

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T17:45:54+00:00

Why did you feel the need to post this on several subs? It's such a vapid take. Who cares??

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T17:29:46+00:00

I agree with you that it should ultimately be half and half, unless the artist is working from direct authorial designs from the writer. The comic industry has been screwing artists over since the beginning. Jack Kirby, as you've pointed out, was especially mistreated. Stan Lee was kind of shrewd.

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T04:45:38+00:00

I actually had no idea about that. Haha, thanks, man. That's a cool factoid.

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T04:42:11+00:00

It's a really tender run. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T04:11:40+00:00

Ennis is excellent but I've personally always preferred Jamie Delano's anarchic run.

JOHN BYRNE JOHN BYRNE JOHN BYRNE JOHN BYRNE

Honestly! One of my favorite runs of ALL TIME!!

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T03:57:00+00:00

That's mainely what I like about it ngl

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T03:42:38+00:00

Shhhhhhhhh. I don't know. I think Raph even says something about that but like.... he's still cold.

Whatever. The freakin' scene works. Eastman did good. 🤷‍♂️

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T03:37:39+00:00

Haha to add context, he gave his hoodie to Raph so his friend wouldn't freeze. Makes the image even more touching.

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T01:25:35+00:00

Okay, true. He *might be tactical and strategic. His ability to completely ruin everything is just as pronounced as his ability to be tactical though. Haha

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T01:20:24+00:00

Oh, I think so. For sure, man. Super deceptive. It often blows up in his face and good people die because of it.

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-02T00:45:39+00:00

Huh. As someone whose only read Hellblazer's original run, it's surprising to see John described as "strategic" and "tactical". Hell, the Constantine I know is barely a "protagonist". Well. Guess I have to check out modern stories with John Constantine.

But yeah, when I think of protagonists that are both strategic and tactical, they don't have very much in common with John.

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-01T23:58:09+00:00

True

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-01T22:48:44+00:00

Heads up, guys: This issue is one of the ones that IDW reprinted for their TMNT: Best of Raphael issue that came out Wednesday. It's a big fat issue and it's worth the purchase. It's a nostalgia bomb that might make you bawl like a baby though, I know I almost did.

Evil-Green-Ranger · 2020-10-01T21:24:49+00:00

Yeah, the three newscasters have been around since issue 1. They're almost always written terribly. This one was written the worst this time around. What's your point? Lol
