No pre con stuff really hyping me. Fiffe doing a grand design would be cool but it makes me feel for Zdarsky. Hell yeah more Metal Men

That art Fiffe posted is old.

omg, everything about this page

the nostalgia hits me so hard

Metal Men being part of Metal is very underwhelming.

But Didio giving himself and Giffen maxis for the fuck of it....that's got me kinda excited?

Hello, Storyteller.

>watch the news
>everything is on fire, but it's hilarious for once
Well, at least we have Gen 13. And Symphony of the Night.

>>ASM: Going Global one-shot? feat. multiple creative teams
>It looks like Pam Lifford decided to try Marvel's #1 flood tactic
Damn, is Marvel going to do a Spider-Man #1 every single month? My jaw hasn't recovered since Abrams' son writing a book caused it to drop

Ok with the Dark Multiverse stuff.
Saint Batman and Bane Jr. is a pretty weird scenario though.

>these meta jokes
Knock it off, Scott. This will never be funny.

Heh, try playing Hypnospace Outlaw sometime. It's basically 90s Internet: The Video Game.

what are the chances any talk about a Gen13 relaunch

noooooooooooo, they will always be funny, fuck off you fruitcup and cry more

with how shit Wild Storm and Cray's sales were?
5%

a Lobdell/Benes omnibus has enough starpower to sell
dumbass DC, collect it

>envy is Morrison
classic

DiDio is one of the last few fun writers working at DC, I'd trust him with a book over any Snyder suckling

Attached: Gen13_v1_49_09.jpg (1024x1595, 434K)

Agreed.
He's never wowed me, but his few recent outings these past few years has been pretty solid for what they are.

Hope the Dark Metal shit doesn't weight down too hard. The last time he had to deal with event bullshit we got the second half of Forever People.

fuck Zdarsky, Fiffe is way more talented and creative than him

Mind powers and Human Torch abilities are an odd mix

Yeah, I decided to finally check it out. As expected, it's excellent, though not without flaws, which comes with the territory of being the first real shot the franchise took at the style. Also, I think I might be just a bit gay for Alucard.

Oddly enough, Image also has a character with that powerset, Psyfire of Youngblood. He's a creepy psychopath who likes to make people's heads explode.

Remembering how long ago wednesday comics Metal Men was hurts but that’s my biggest damper. Legit excited to see what Nth is like

I liked that Superman/Batman preview with the Billy as a Robin twist/reveal before Shazam who laughs.

I also know I’m the lone person on Yea Forums with taste in liking the Snyder part of DC right now

Attached: Gen13_v1_49_13.jpg (1024x1588, 383K)

Wednesday Comics was the best idea DC had this century damn it
the only good thing to come out of the Dark Universe shit is Loveness getting a one-shot story

ack posted wrong page

wow this is actually great as fuck
I am impressed

>>Michel Fiffe posted some Spider-Man Grand Design-inspired fanart on his Twitter
>That art Fiffe posted is old.

True, it was old art but it was posted alongside him teasing having signed a contract and with Ed Piskor retweeting and saying he wouldn't want anyone else doing Spidey Grand Design

NOW, some Steranko ripoff in a good way

I’ve got a bunch of final X issues to read before tomorrow ends this era and we’re full Hickman. Age of X is a decent idea but don’t know if they pulled it off like they wanted

We got Terrifics! As the METAL fan in the thread tho yeah a lot of the stuff hasn’t been capitalized enough. I like the new forces shit as well.

I love DC now has a canon BAD END part of the multiverse for dumb shit though like the one shots are showing. That’s where I put DCeased now

Yeah he was teasing it. Still feels weird so soon after Life Story.

This trope is a big reason why Tomorrow Never Dies is my favorite Bond movie. That and Michelle Yeoh.

So, was Grunge popular among readers at the time? Cause if so, one must weep for humanity and its shit taste. It's like he's being written as a complete shitheel on purpose.

Grunge was one of the most loved 90s characters besides Kyle Rayner

All right, what the hell is Fairchild wearing. Some kind of crazy high cut sex overalls?

Also, it will be released this October, though the format will be revealed at SDCC.

how Wildstormy is sleeper

Attached: Gen13_v1_50_29.jpg (1024x1579, 385K)

barely.
There's Tao, and an OC inserted into some old stories. It shifts gears because of some Wildstorm event in "season 2," but it explains it well enough

lame
I read that Lynch one-shot and its just an Indiana Jones comic

He was a pain in the ass bad guy who had weird mindfucking powers that only work if you started talking to him.
He didn't get sucker punched nearly as often as a bad guy with that gimmick should.

Hello OP.

I really need to start avoiding bookstores until I make a worthwhile dent in my book heap.

Grunge deserves to be an incel.

Attached: Gen13_v1_50_33.jpg (1024x1558, 423K)

It gets even better if you read him with a Cobra Commander or BW Megatron voice.

Attached: Gen13_v1_50_34.jpg (1024x1566, 406K)

What the fuck is happening anymore? The writing has devolved into Morrison on a meth bender.

You guys really make me wanna actually try to read this wildstorm shit even though I know I’ll tap out. Wilding

Sleeper rules tho

this is great, Grunge is going to out-moron TAO

I haven't read enough of his stuff: what makes Brisson Yikes worthy?
His Iron Fist was solid.

THANKS FOR READING

PROBABLY BACK TOMORROW

better than anything he's ever writen

If only he were just a writer, and not the guy bluntly forcing a crappy editorial direction on everyone else.

he doesn't do that, he's the reason Scooby Doo and Jonah Hex has comics
all the edginess is Johns/Lee

Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

... The fuck did we just read? And why do I feel high?

It basically Phoenix but with a more overt focus on the fire effect that were mostly just visual flair.

thanks OP
this will be the best book stortyimed of tomorrow guaranteed
his Cable, Old Man Logan, X-force and nextgen sucked ass

I wasn't aware that Johns and Lee were in power for Identity Crisis.

He literally cock blocked Aquaman from getting married to Mera, again. Now she's marrying Murk or someone like him.
He's also the one who told Johns to use Max Lord, not Mr. Jupiter, for Infinite Crisis

Has Lynch turning evil seen him join the ranks of "villains who try to bang Fairchild"?

I kinda love Friendly Uncle Helspont.

I know a lot of people like to shit on Lodbell, but he's god at writing fun characters.

He was the architect villain of Moore's Wildcats.

shit ship should sink, marriagefags are cancer

Man, someone needs to snip some Helspont panels from this issue. That last panel is reaction image gold.

It’s an Immortal Hulk week bro
