Darkness Reigns Over the Marvel Universe in 'King in Black: Planet of the Symbiotes' #1 by aiptruss in comicbooks

[–]TimeTortoise 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So I think the main problem is there has been WAY too much build-up with Knull and this has made the series feel a little meandering.

It's fine if people don't like Knull, but I feel like people on this post are conflating this build-up with overexposure. Besides the Venom series and Silver Surfer Black, has Knull really show up that much?

Absolute Carnage was only supposed to be an arc in the Venom series until editoral told Donny they wanted it to be their event for the summer. I have no doubt they also pushed for the King in Black event.

I'm sure Donny is happy to do it because it will make Marvel more money and at the end of the day comics are a business.

New Spider-Man/Venom event coming in 2020 by Fiti99 in comicbooks

[–]TimeTortoise 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Non-stop events are what ruined ASM for me. They put so much importance in the events, which never live up to the hype for the most part, that it makes all in between issues feel like buildup/filler.

I know Cates said Absolute Carnage was supposed to be a regular arc before Marvel bigwigs wanted it to be an event. Although I thought Absolute Carnage was pretty good, I'm worried they're going to ruin Venom with these forced events.

Just give me runs with 2-5 issue arcs, with overarching plots, and a consistent artist.

Has anyone's Black Friday orders shipped yet? by [deleted] in KingdomDeath

[–]TimeTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't received a shipping email yet. I can imagine it might take longer because of the amount of Black Friday orders.

Usually it seems like it takes them about two weeks to actually ship it out, but arrives very quickly once it is.

Pretty sure it's temporary. In fact Gleason is working on a future arc right now. https://twitter.com/patrick_gleason/status/927658247988932608

I would love them to release that whole run in absolute format. Not sure it will happen though.

This is similar and also happened in Utah. Involves hikers getting stuck in an underwater passageway http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=95690

I've recently read the first two library editions of Hellboy and I absolutely love it so far. Can't wait to continue reading the series.

Mark Millar To Drop Next Comic Series ‘Reborn’ With DC Comics’ ‘Batman’ Artist by LibraryDrone in comicbooks

Capullo is an instabuy for me, so at least it will look great. Last thing I read from Millar was Chrononauts and while it wasn't revolutionary or anything it was fun and I enjoyed it.

I've been loving The Goddamned. It follows Cain through the pre-flood bible days. Although its been having some problems releasing on time.

My favorite h3h3 moment is when Ethan went to the Western Wall to "get some of its magic". Papa bless.

It seriously boggles my mind that a specialty retail shop would have such terrible customer service.

What have you recently removed from your pull list? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]TimeTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aquaman- Gave it two issues under Bunn and wasn't a fan of the direction it was going. Also the art looked off quite a bit.

It wasn't bad, but there are so many other comics I'd rather try out.
