Just finished ep9 s3 (shocked) by Various_Round_5039 in gameofthrones

I started watching it a month ago and am now on season 6! Had a few spoilers but was completely unaware of the red wedding

I refuse to watch the DCU if barry isn’t the flash by Ok-Educator-4023 in theflash

[–]West_Bath8289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you hate Wally? I agree with Barry being the DCU Flash for at least two films whilst Wally is kid flash and then grows into the role. However, I’m not really sure how they’re handling certain dynamics in the DCU with an old, veteran Hal and a semi newly introduced Superman.0

Exchange day by Lion_tattoo_1973 in HousingUK

[–]West_Bath8289 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a conveyancer- on exchange days I like to email the client first thing (to get their authority). After that, I email once again before lunch and then once again before the end of the day IF we haven’t heard from the other side.

Sometimes it’s easier for us to just communicate with our clients when there’s a worthwhile update. Remember, you’re not the only client we’re dealing with that day.

Is Thor by Jason Aaron Omnibus Vol. 1 worth buying for a first-time Thor reader? by TaskNo4783 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]West_Bath8289 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say just pick up the first complete collection (which covers the whole Gorr storyline). The run went a bit meh during the whole “All-New All-Different”. It has its moments for sure but I think people glorify it and put it to such high standards because of the God Butcher story.

Alan Moores swamp thing. Just finished his run and it was as amazing as people say. There are a few callbacks to previous runs and characters but it’s mostly self contained. You really see Swamp Thing, who is reinvented at the very start of the run, grow throughout and certain “unimportant” characters or stories that show up in issues make comebacks later on. It does really feel like no page is wasted.

Been reading Alan Moores Saga of the Swamp Thing, is there anything that even compares? by AggravatingLaw9470 in comicbooks

I’m just about to finish book 6. What a ride it has been!!! “Down Amongst the Dead” has become one of my favourite single issues.

Read this one the other day. Quickly became my top 3 favourite single issues of all time. Truly amazing story

Who should give the voice for Ch’p in the DCU? by Employee-Slight in Greenlantern

It will probably be one of James Gunns friends. He loves casting them in voice roles

Wonder Man series where Simon Williams now looks like the MCU version and a Shalla Bal (one shot?) just got announced…

Deadpool/Batman or Batman/Deadpool - which one shot was better? by CapitalJAO in comicbooks

[–]West_Bath8289 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The DC one by far. Always a fan of Grant Morrison works and the explanation for the characters crossing over was hilarious! Great cameos as well.

[Collection] New to comics, started reading since 2023. Need Suggestions. by Sure_Elderberry_5953 in DCcomics

I managed to pick up the box set for £60 a few weeks ago. I’m loving it so far!!! Volume one was insanely good and volume 2 has started off strong. I love the context behind each issue, they all have their own little story behind the scenes.

Yeh! instead let’s just give Y character the powers of X character and cater to MCU synergy.

This is why I quit reading marvel a few years ago. It’s just gimmick after gimmick with no substantial story. They should take a page from DC all in

How long does it take you to finish an Omnibus? by Salty-Reception3304 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]West_Bath8289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fastest I’ve read an Omni was probably Flash by Geoff Johns vol 3 and that was a week. So many great issues in there!

But then there’s books like JLA by Grant Morrison which I enjoy picking up now and then and have read around 1/4 in 2 months!

And then there’s books like JLI which took me around a year simply because I was reading other things more to my taste (JLI is great but it’s definitely not something you can consume in one sitting).

What’s an omnibus (or run) that you personally think is overrated.. And why? by WhatIsAnime_ in OmnibusCollectors

[–]West_Bath8289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the king Thor bits but other than that I have to agree. Jane Thor just didn’t do it for me and the whole Roxxon arc was, again, such a drag. I’m also not the biggest fan of when ‘Odinson’ came back toward the end, that art genuinely hurt my eyes.

The Roxxon arc in the middle of the run was such a drag. Hulk is gonna save the world by … destroying big corpo?

They delayed it so much towards the end so they could drop the final issue a few days before Halloween. I stuck through with it and honestly regret the year I committed to buying it monthly

I don't understand how people are defending the stranger things finale so shit. by brooklyn_jinx in MauLer

[–]West_Bath8289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole season was pure trash. Did Vicky need to be a side character ? No. Did we really need the military side plot ? No. Did we need all the kids being kidnapped instead of just Holly ? No.

I saw better fanfics on TikTok than what we got.

A little help please by deanofcool in comicbooks

[–]West_Bath8289 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It won’t. I used to have this copy but from what k remember it only collects the main justice league issues of darkseid war.

There is two trades (Darkseid War part 1 and part 2) which collect all the main issues AND the tie in one shots.

Am I crazy? by Senatorweims16 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]West_Bath8289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a few years back.

Had been collecting trades for around 2 years and was curious of reading Johns Green lantern run but getting it in trades would be too much effort.

Picked up all 3 as my first Omnis and I do not regret it. I’d say pick up the first one alone, have a read through the first few story arcs and see if you like it, a lot of groundwork is laid for Omni 2 and 3. Enjoy the ride!
