Gotham Citizen

Dark Knight: The Golden Child, I've read it and I have no idea what to feel about it. I find it interesting, it is absolutely a Frank Miller book and I'm a bit more welcoming to Rafael Grampá's art to be sure. I'm going to have to mull on this a bit and give it a re-read.

"sequel is good when you've watched what its a sequel too" ground breaking critique ign

@Samuelgorg41707 Thank God that's Fish.

An interesting article from an editing point of view, balancing multiple creative teams on a thrice a month schedule is a legitimate achievement. Everything that mentions One More Day however leaves the reader feeling a little incredulous. Marc Guggenheim's dual comments on Marvel not wanting a Peter with too many responsibilities and the Mephisto deal being put on the back burner during Brand New Day are particularly noteworthy. The end of the article also includes how some members of the "brain trust" have continued on since Brand New Day with Spider-Man specifically Dan Slott, Zed Wells and Joe Kelly, in a very perfunctory way. True, Dan Slott had an eight year run, his tenure has certainly mixed reactions these days but most importantly any time he's ventured outside Spider-Man it has been to limited success, suggesting that he was kept afloat by the title and not the other way around. Zeb Wells' run needs no further comment save that it has definitely served as a last straw for many people. Then there is Joe Kelly, who's current run generates little interest, an anemic presence in the sales charts and who has evidently decided that issue #1000 of Amazing Spider-Man shall be used for a sitcom plot about a secret cousin. Such glowing resumes, indeed.

@Exalted_Speed The guiding principle of Peter's life is "with great power comes great responsibility" but him being a married adult with responsibilities was anathema to Marvel. Just incredible.

Man it’s great that you can find value in that, I hope no one brings up a certain thing you said at a con years ago that makes you look like a complete immature edgy ass clown

@Sorazure15 This is a sitcom plot and that's what Marvel is going to use for #1000. They are just deliberately trying to piss people off.

I can’t wait for the four subsequent story arcs to go back and forth on if he’s actually peters cousin or not 🔥🔥🔥

@75Opposite On the contrary, they're just resolute in doing bad ideas.

@GothamiteRando Out of ideas

What are we even doing here?

You have won this round.

Comics would probably start selling more if they started getting sold in more places lol

Playing through Robocop Rogue City: Unfinished Business, it's a fun expansion but not as good as the main game. The crycocannon is SICK to use, however. It's gotten me in the mood to re-read the Robocop comics I have. Frank Miller's Robocop is actually pretty decent but the belated follow-up Last Stand is definitely superior. Joshua Williamson had a very good run at Boom! that I have not read in years. It's funny, I was out of the loop of comics for quite some time and then I saw stuff for DC's Dark Crisis with his name attached and I was like "the Robocop guy?!". What little I knew and how far he's risen.

@75Opposite There's a big difference between representation and checking boxes.

@GothamiteRando Not all the characters are bad. But is clearly felt manufactured instead of genuine.

When the characters can’t help bring in new readers than the writers failed to bring new ideas on them because they doing the EXACT SAME THING as the previous legacy.

Batman/Wonder Woman: Truth was a great one shot. I hope Loeb, Cheung and Ramos get to do a few more of these.

@Samuelgorg41707 I highly recommend finding a physical copy, Return to Arkham is still fine to play but it took out so much atmosphere.

@GothamiteRando The original isn't anymore on Playstation

Comics haul from an impromptu stop at the LCS. I also saw that they had the entire Justice League of Meltzer, McDuffie and Robinson, so unfortunately for my wallet I WILL be back soon.
