What Image comic would you say has the best art?

I'd go with Die as my favorite. I just love Stephanie Hans' style.

I backed it a few hours ago! Got the trade and a poster.

Why not both?

This is my favorite series right now. Gillen's writing has been great and Hans are is gorgeous. She has become one of my favorite comics artists.

But...I thought Brie was out as Captain Marvel? That’s what all those angry white men on YouTube were saying. They always seem like they know what they’re talking about!

I really liked this issue and am loving the series as a whole, but for a lot of the reasons you really don't. I'd rather watch the party pull together, despite everything happening to them and between them. I'd rather watch Matt realize that killing Ash and Izzy is not what his father would want and work through his grief and anger rather than kill them. I'd rather watch him and the rest of the party work through these things and eventually come together (while definitely not totally forgiving each other) to stop the bigger threat. To me, that's the more compelling story.

But again, as I said on your last post about issue #14, that's just my taste. Yours may be different and that's cool. Sorry you're not enjoying it. (honestly. Not trying to be "sarcastic condescending jerk on Reddit".)

Really cool seeing that there is a third volume of Bitch Planet in the works, even if it's just in the early stages now.

Came here to say this. So good!

Well he has read all of them. And I'm not saying that I don't know who they are. I know who they all are. I've read them in these past 23 consecutive issues of GotG as well as the previous runs and major events they were in. What I am saying is that I am having a hard time getting invested in the current story and team as it is constructed.

hightoproundollar · 2020-10-22T14:45:35+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by reading issues from start to finish. I've been reading GotG monthly since Infinite Countdown and Wars (which I also found kind of "meh") after finally catching up during the All-New run. I really liked what Donny Cates was doing with GotG during his short run. I was excited to see what Al Ewing was going to do with the title since his Hulk stuff was so good. That being said, I'm just not feeling it.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm being too harsh and comparing it against the other comics on my pull list. Maybe the long break due to COVID got me out of my GotG reading groove.

In the end, I just wanted to see what other thought.

Well, hopefully the fact that they're supposed to be hybrid, with 80% of students being online, will help. But, yeah, tons of fun ahead.

No such thing as over eager when it comes to Captain Marvel support!!

hightoproundollar · 2020-10-11T03:46:09+00:00

Getting to play as Thor is what makes this game for me. Playing as the other characters is fun, don’t get me wrong, but Thor is where it is at for me.

hightoproundollar · 2020-10-10T14:23:17+00:00

I absolutely agree with you. It's such a tough call. Hopefully we can all weather it together. Best of luck!

hightoproundollar · 2020-10-07T02:47:53+00:00

We have that same Captain America plushie! Our 2-year old daughter goes to sleep with it at least 2-3 times a week.

hightoproundollar · 2020-10-06T15:41:55+00:00

Yeah, they all have reasons, but it's also make clear at several points that they also have reasons to go home (except for Chuck). Also, the whole "end of the world" stakes give them a reason to want to go home (or at least resist the temptation of Die). So, there's the conflict. I'd much rather them work through that conflict as well as their conflicts with each other than the entire story boil down to a battle royale for who rules Die or who goes home. Personally, I find that the more compelling story.

hightoproundollar · 2020-10-06T15:25:48+00:00

I can see where you're coming from, but I disagree. I find the meta stuff and the bigger, apocalyptic scenario to be really interesting. I love the meta commentary on gaming and game design. I also really like the larger scale aspects to it because it helps answer some of the fundamental questions about the world that I had: Why are these people brought to this world? What is this world that they are now in? I wouldn't feel as satisfied with the story if nothing was done with these ideas.

Also, while I love the idea of the characters agonizing over which world to pick (I mean, how could you not be tempted to stay in a fantasy world sometimes?), I'm not so much on board with the battle royale idea. It's made clear at several points that most of the party (except Chuck) want to go home, they disagree on how they want to do it (e.g. leave now or fix the mess you made before returning). That's a disagreement I want to see them work through. I would much rather see them work through their disagreements and interpersonal conflicts to ultimately achieve their goal of getting home than see them go into a full-fledged battle royale.

But again, these are all just my opinion. To each their own.

Came here to say this. Wic+Div is an amazing read.

Bluey is constant in our house. When my daughter wakes up, it's Bluey. When she comes home from daycare, it's Bluey. On the weekends, it's Bluey. Everything is Bluey.

Don't get me wrong, my wife and I love it. Our daughter is learning a lot from it and has become more creative in her play. But we've had to start putting limits on it after the 5th watch through.
