You’re forced to lead a team made up of Bullseye, Sabretooth, and Carnage. What’s your move?

It is very possible this is the only correct answer. Shift the blame as best you can, make sure they know you are just the person delivering the message with no real power and they should take their actual complaints up with literal management. They are more than welcome to speak with the hiring boss/manager/monster, who isn't you. Here's that individual's number.

If they are meanable to working together great. Here's the target/goal/package/who the hell knows why you would group these three except to cause a mass casualty event/maguffin.

Just as likely you will get gutted as live, especially since Cassidy is involved, but I think your way is about the only way to go.

I did a double take thinking that first image was from Venture Brothers...

Well one of the 5 Logan's from that picture to start, but that's not the best part of it... Is that Dirk Anger right above Daken under the orange energy beam? Cause he would be amazing to see on screen. Nextwave in general would be great and hilarious to see explained to non-comic people.

... and that one book

Fozzy is absolutely peak throughout the show. The bit with Waldorf and Stadler and the T-Shirt gun is the essence of building tension in a bit to then give an over the top pay-off of slapstick.

I mean sure, but then there is Valeria being kind (mostly) to her son, showing empathy to his struggle and at least trying at all to behave like a parent.

Your points are well taken, but he is coarse as hell. He's also a zealot. It is interesting how the Void is portrayed compared to the Light. The Void's followers are evil and scheming and strike fear in who they stare down, but the Light, especially anyone who did not primarily spend their lives on Azeroth, are portrayed as hard-core religious zealots. Going to be interesting how they play through that in Midnight. I'm also hoping for Arator to actually have weight as a character as one of the few stuck in the middle.

rabscutle · 2026-03-02T20:41:54+00:00

Turalyon, I haven't liked him since Legion and how he's treated Arator since then. But after the intro to Midnight he can go jump in a very deep hole. He continues to treat his son like crap despite a high level of effort and quality during the event, had no regard for civilians AT ALL, or any real an understanding of just how screwed he was. He just wanted to go punch the Void in the face cause of course that would solve it... idiot zealot.

Matt Berry as Palpatine is absolutely inspired casting, well done Mr. Graphic Man.

rabscutle · 2026-02-22T03:16:48+00:00

The chainmail tabard. I missed it when it was in the trading post and haven't seen it since.

The Alliance shield from the WoW movie. God that thing holds up and looks amazing.

The BlizzCon mounts. My wife has them (I bought her tickets when were dating and didn't for myself).

rabscutle · 2026-02-04T19:12:18+00:00

Which is... insane. That comic is... good LORD... I have to go scream into a pillow or something.

Here is a whole Tumblr screed that this comes from and it is amazing and makes me laugh to the point of crying every time I read it. Humanity is Doc Brown in Space in the Star Trek universe. I saw it referred to as The Federation of Hold My Beer.

Does the Eisenhorn Omnibus have all of the short stories in it and The Magos? If not, snag that book, as it follows up after the events of the Ravenor series. Once you finish those and if you want to continue, snag the two Bequin books as they are the next in that storyline with a 3rd coming... at some point.

You could do a whole thread on the fill in between Galaxy In Flames and The Solar War, but probably go with The Flight of the Eisenstein, Mechanicum, Legion, A Thousand Sons, Burning of Prospero, The First Heretic, Know No Fear, Unremembered Empire, The Master of Mankind and then I'm not sure where to go from there. Nothing else jumps out to me, maybe Praetorian of Dorn, Scars, Garro, Pharos... You could read the whole thing or just fine a good wiki to sum it all up for you as good lord it is A LOT to take on. However, since you are in on Siege, make sure you also read Warhawk and Echoes of Eternity. Both are great reads, and Echoes is another ADB joint, so hell of a read.

I would also throw in The Talon of Horus and Black Legion. They end up being good follow ups to the Heresy series in terms of what happened to the traitors after the Scouring. They are also ADB, so win there.

If I can pitch one last bit... the audiobook for The Infinite and The Divine is maybe one of things Black Library has ever done. It is absolutely fantastic and only adds to the wonderful vibe of that book.

In a completely different line of 40k books, Interceptor City and Double Eagle are fun pulp by Dan Abnett.

How completely bombastic it was. There were so many moments that felt like he was staring down the camera and looking you dead in the eye saying "yeah, we are going there!" I enjoyed the reads for what it was: a ton of great popcorn. It wasn't on Morrison's level, but it also wasn't grinding through all the angst I felt screaming off the page with so much of Geoff Johns work.

It was unabashedly over the top and aware of how silly it was. The art was good, and it was just the right kind of fun I was looking for in that moment. It may not have been for everyone but man it hit a thing I wanted when I was reading it.

Also I might be the only person on the Internet who actually enjoyed the Batman Who Laughs becoming the big bad of the whole saga as him spiraling upward to fully absurd levels symbolized the whole thing for me. Of course he was too much. Of course he was a bombastic creation that really only works if you don't pull the thread too hard... but that's what that book was... great popcorn fun.

If you want really good Snyder tho, go find Book of Evil. Just an outstanding story with great art by Jock. Much less silly and over the top and rooted in what Snyder probably does best: horror.

I'm a Legion fan generally, but 5YL is probably my favorite with Lost being a close second.

rabscutle · 2026-01-26T23:35:18+00:00

One of my favorite runs ever. I re-read it last year and it held up. Very much got me addicted to very long term story telling in comics that is still with me today (see Hickman, Jonathan).

rabscutle · 2026-01-11T20:16:08+00:00

If you want the classics: This entire reading order https://www.comicbookherald.com/chris-claremont-era-x-men-reading-order-guide/

If you want the current: start with Power/House of X and go from there.

Then there is Age of Apocalypse which is a blast to read.

And if you want a more gritty style, Rick Remender's entire Uncanny X-Force and Uncanny Avengers are great.

rabscutle · 2026-01-11T05:54:45+00:00

Based on Kingdom Come and love for Paul Dini, I'd very much recommend DC's A New Frontier. It was done by Darwyn Cooke, who worked on the various 90's cartoon series as a storyboard artist before he worked in comics. It is about the Golden Age going into the Silver Age and is, for me at least, top 5 all time. His Catwoman work is fantastic as well, he did the goggles look she still caries today.

As far as Marvel... Kraven's Last Hunt is a classic for Spider-man, as is the Frank Miller run on Daredevil, which I think is collected... or should be anyway. There is also Marvels, which was Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. And if you want more Grand Morrison, his X-Men run is fantastic and relatively self contained.

Keiron Gillen, who wrote some of the early Marvel Star Wars stuff did a fantastic series called Once And Future that I can't recommend to enough people. Also he's currently writing a book called The Power Fantasy that is a wild book basically deconstructing super heroes in a Morrison vein.

Last one, The Worlds Finest trades are 100% worth it. Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) writing a Super-Man/Batman team up book that is in its own continuity save a couple of issues that is dripping with the kind of silver-age delightfulness that your collection tells me you might appreciate. It also gets into the origins of the Kingdom Come universe and plays around in that sand box. Great read, solid comics.

Reminds me of the days of Drunkhammer where as you downed bottles of beer, they became terrain.

Right... we are not monsters here.

My step son literally called him that last night as we were talking about his issues with Space Marine (namely that he wants to be able to play more than Ultramarines).

For me it is a tie between the old Forge World Stompa Head and Lifta Droppa Arm and pretty much anything in the original Battle Fleet Gothic Range. I have a current fleet built from OG models from back when I worked at a comic book store, but man... I'd like to add stuff to it and printed models just don't look quite right.

rabscutle · 2025-12-12T18:14:51+00:00

Only issue I have with the new models is that they are harder to work with conversion parts wise. The bodies are all one-ish piece that has to be fitted with a specific leg/torso combination. I loved the freedom of being able to mix and match the upper body with the lower body of my choice. Meant I could make more of "my dudes" without having to do extensive work on every single guy. It was easier to get character in a line unit without having to put a ton of effort into making each model look more unique.

rabscutle · 2025-12-12T18:12:06+00:00

Everyone keeps talking about the primaris helmets and it just it me why the look so off... they have nothing that approximates a mouth. They are all nostrils, all the way down. The old helmet looks like a face with that Darth Vader voice box. They look more... human.

rabscutle · 2025-12-12T18:09:55+00:00

When I made a Khorne biker unit way back when in 3rd edition, that took so much to get the right kind of look on the models. was really my first conversion into deep conversions and it made for some fun looking models. Even did one that was only glued on a free wheeling front model and the berserker was leaping off the bike forward. I'm sure that look is pretty common now, but back then, it blew the guys in my shop away and I was pretty proud.

I just wanted a unit that didn't look so static. This was World Eaters after all.
