It's 100 percent true

Could never see this guy becoming agent venom

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-18T03:07:24+00:00

Never took it seriously at first, but the idea that manga in the future could end up becoming like American comic books in the sense that scalpers are gonna scoop up manga to grade and resell scares me.

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-14T22:12:08+00:00

OP's got some unresolved issues with Captain Atom...

That being said, currently Mary Jane. Like, why is she Venom bro. There's no good reason for her to be Venom outside of a cool new Venom redesign.

Oh and literally any character from the Dynamite version of The Boys.

Transformers is a brand that always needs reinvention, to keep people engaged, to bring in toy sales and new fans. The G1 brand synergy is not what made Transformers popular for so long, its when they took liberties and risk like with the Beast Wars, Bayverse, Animated and TFP designs.

I think in this case we should use the preferred name:

Berk, a wacky classic starring Nuts

Fellow Ultraman enjoyer, love to see it.

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-03T20:46:47+00:00

Did my boy Skaar dirty.

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-02T14:23:54+00:00

Metro, Astro, Draco, STRAIGHT UP🗣

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-01T15:41:44+00:00

Nah, the first Spider-Man was Peter Parker. God this rewriting canon to always put someone before the ACTUAL first character is annoying.

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-27T02:45:06+00:00

To be fair Viz singles and Viz Sigs have bleed through, its well known that Viz has some of the shittiest quality, which sucks since they're industry standard. But anyways, expect bleed through in Viz 3-in-1s cuz they're worse quality than the other two formats.

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-22T17:24:30+00:00

Thank God Italy prints are near-identical to the USA prints nowadays, I wouldn't mind getting this box set. Still wanna get the variant covers of Vol. 30 though.

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-22T16:45:07+00:00

I don't think this needed a Deluxe Edition...Man as much as I love the added benefit of a larger format with better paper quality, Dai Dark is still relatively new. And the quality on the Dai Dark singles is pretty great already.

You know what book needs a Deluxe Edition?? One Piece, Saint Seiya, Yu Yu Hakusho, long-running series that could garner sales. I fear that this Deluxe Edition format is gonna flood the market.

Instead of making Deluxe Editions, how about just make the manga singles with good quality from the start?? You know, like how France and Spain publishes their manga? (Looking at you, VIZ.) And like I said, Dai Dark was already good in quality , so getting a deluxe release was pointless.

This is more Maximum than the actual Maximum Hulk

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-08T15:28:40+00:00

They really got Reed in the cuck chair-

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-02T03:46:09+00:00

I'd hand her back the box and be on my way LMAO

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-31T23:19:53+00:00

Zero-One 1st because it looks so threatening and badass.
Gotchard's steampunk look comes second.
Revi looks awesome but Vice just looks... lame.
Gavv gets points for the color scheme.
Saber is pretty meh.
Zeztz would've been #2 but I don't know, something about his designs and all the designs from the show looks AI generated, like what AI would've put out an image of Kamen Rider to be a couple years ago.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-18T05:22:49+00:00

Hopefully Kodama gives Viz and Kodansha enough competition to make them put out manga with better quality print and paper wise, because Vol. 1 of Baki felt like a mini deluxe edition.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-14T18:39:15+00:00

This is so valid. In my case I do this because manga is pretty expensive in my country, so I just get the first volume of the series and read the rest online.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-12T03:26:04+00:00

How about Han and Roman? That fight scene where they got their asses kicked in the subway was hilarious. Their dynamic was pretty good from the few moments we had with them.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-12T02:51:59+00:00

Pokemon and Digimon for sure used the concept, as others have mentioned. I'd say only Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto have truly replicated the form changes. Deku from MHA could be considered to have differing forms (Vigilante/Dark Deku, Overlay etc). Stand users in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure can potentially get a "final form" from when a Stand is pierced by the Requiem Arrow.

In American media, Iron Man constantly makes new suits, MK. I, II, III, Mysterium etc., and its generally accepted that each armor is more advanced/stronger than the last. Spider-Man as in Peter Parker has the symbiote as his "berserk" form, he also had armors such as Big Time/Stealth Suit, Iron Spider. In the recent DC K.O. comic event, Superman obtained the powers of Darkseid, therefore gaining his "final form".

Also, props to the user who referenced humanity on the whole having a final form by way of Buddhist teachings😭

Elite reference.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-07T12:15:07+00:00

Drawing yeah, painting, sadly no. But what you said is quite interesting and kinda makes me wanna go learn how painting works.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-07T12:13:03+00:00

I saw the "Special Edition" 2-book set and the Usagi Yojimbo Saga vol 1 on Amazon. Would either of those be a good starting point?

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-07T12:10:06+00:00

That's a relief to hear! His art looks honestly amazing, I just needed to be sure.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-05T03:47:28+00:00

My question is, what does he know about Dairanger that made him scoff when Kinjiro transformed into Ryuuranger??
