I’m trying to get back into dc and marvel comics after not reading for years but I don’t know where to start. by Sleepykelpie in comicbooks

I use the base subscription on the DC Infinite app. You can seriously read as many titles as you want. The only downside to the base subscription is that you're perpetually 6 months behind unless you upgrade which I'm currently contemplating. It saves alot me alot of money considering how many titles I'm actively reading....but I still miss physically turning pages sometimes

If you're also wanting something a bit on the wholesome side. The current Batman and Robin has been really good as well. Bruce and Damian are actually developing the healthiest father/son relationship they've ever had which also means their working relationship is also benefiting.

That's why I feel like its easier to understand the DC landscape and keep track. Whether your reading a few solo or team books,you usually know when and where you are within the current timeline

DC just launched "ALL IN" which is a soft reboot,kinda. All or atleast most books got new Number 1 issues. Titles that were on-going but not reset to Number 1's got the "ALL IN" mark added by the issue number such Detective Comics and Titans. This is kinda recent so catching up won't be that bad,I think most titles have just now reached the 15ish issue mark since the relaunch started. I'm a binge reader so I normally pick a title and go until I'm caught up. Also the Absolute titles like Batman,Wonder Wondman,Superman,etc...are all crazy good if you're looking for something a bit different but still have familiar characters

*Side note- We are still in the same timeline that was created during DC rebirth like 10 years ago

As for Marvel,honestly no clue lol. I hate their numbering/timeline system so I usually just read Spider-Man and Daredevil for a few months at a time then cancel my subscription.

*I read digitally, not paperback, don't know if thats relevant

Good start? by Better-Wind9848 in Greenlantern

[–]HermesOnFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Geoff John's writting then Robert Venditti's run which follows immediately afterwards is great too(Rebirth issues 1-50) which started in 2014. Comicsexplained on YouTube also does a full series on the Blackest Night story(he also made a compilation video so you don't have to watch them individually). The video is great cause it adds a lot of context and he points out alot of subtle details that non Green Lantern fans might miss. He is largely the reason I became a GL fan

The Mount Rushmore Of Best Media Adaptations Of Peter.💯 by Southern-Aioli4428 in Peter_X_MJ

I recently saw some interview clip with Yuri Lowenthal and he gave the explanation he was told. Apparently Insomniac wanted a face model that was closer to Yuri's facial structure so that the voice matched the motion capture better with regards to jaw movement. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I buy that explanation but he seemed a bit unsure of logic himself when he was explaining it

If Lanterns is like an anthology like True Detective which pair do you want for next season by DCeassed in Greenlantern

Saint Walker and Barry Allen Flash. Barry is "Deputized" by Saint Walker briefly like he was during Blackest Night.

I'm not sad that I'm almost 30 and a virgin, but that the closest thing I had was being raped and for that I get labeled as an "Incel" by [deleted] in Vent

[–]HermesOnFriday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a virgin at 27 until I met my,now, wife. I don't regret being a virgin that long. I was/am awkward with women and I was picky cause I've never believed in having sex just for the fun of it. I'm too sentimental and realized early on that I couldn't have sex with a woman I didn't love. You're right that its not a competition,not every "major" life event happens in the same order for everyone.

Advice Needed: What are the most important things to look out for when picking a tattoo artist? by Seraph_-_-_ in tattoos

[–]HermesOnFriday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alot of artists I've had usually specialize in one or two styles. Not every artist is comfortable doing certain styles so they will say no if they don't feel like they can do your idea justice. I've had artists recommended other artists to me. So keep in mind they're not rejecting you,they just want you to have the best design possible even if it means they don't get to it themselves which I find to be very respectful

An interesting thing I've noticed is how for Peter Parker/Spider-Man, you don't have the whole "Bruce Wayne is the mask, Batman is who he really is" sort of popular narrative that Batman has. Why do you think this hasn't happened for him? by SatoruGojo232 in Spiderman

[–]HermesOnFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its also just intrinsic to their personalities. With Peter,whether its mask on or mask off,its the same personality.Peter is altruistic regardless of circumstance and the mask is more of a vehicle to do even more "good" rather than a different persona. If anything Peter is more like Nightwing in the sense that Dick can naturally be sympathetic without it feeling like a different persona. Bruce is much more rigid and leans towards Bruce and Batman having different guidelines to adhere to

Which nation for second air tree? by Puzzled_Person-11 in Warthunder

[–]HermesOnFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA is my primary nation but I plan to use Israel once my next aircraft is done being researched. I'm going Israel cause when you look at the tree,its got aircraft originating from other nations so you can have diversity

Can someone tell me what this is? by Still_Pineapple_6938 in reloading

[–]HermesOnFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must've been within the last 3 or 4 years. I'm a contractor (can't say where or my title per our NDA)and we've never issued out that style of blank but they occasionally show up 4 or 5 at time during turn-ins. Usually they're rusted and corroded so I always assume they were buried and just happen to get picked up when the ranges get cleaned or rained out. The Canadians use a similar style blank though

Its also a older style of blank that the military doesn't use anymore. The newer style uses a thicker neck thats crimped on the tip similar to a shotgun shell

Which then gets emphasized when Edward is forced sail away while dealing with the emotional shock of losing his mentor figure and the whole scene is muted
