We we also discussing this at !batman@lemmy.world.
I’m surprised how good this looks. It appears to be combining the BtAS aesthetic with some modern darkness. I’m cautiously optimistic.
This post and comment thread has been one of the most amusing I have read on Lemmy. Kudos!
Yes. I have really been enjoying it. It’s the most I have enjoyed a Spider-Man comic since the JMS run from early 2000s.
Wouldn’t surprise me if like in the comics, he comes back as an AI simulation version of himself to mentor next generation.
Seconded. The Extremism run by Warren Ellis is solid.
Agreed on Gambit. It will be interesting to see how he responds to Magneto and Rogue’s rekindled connection.
Definitely a ‘woah’ moment for sure.
Astonishing X-men and Uncanny X-Force are quality self-contained runs as well.
There are so many fantastic moments from the comics over the years. With that said, I think my favorite Batman moments have been the endings of each Nolan Batman movie. It’s a testament to the power of cinema for sure, but for as much as I have enjoyed reading Batman comics, those three moments hit such incredible highs for me personally.
Sincerely hoping for the best. Cautiously prepared for the worst. 🤞🏻
Testify! 👏🏻👊🏻
My wife is a big TinTin fan. You might be onto something there.
I decided to pull Mora’s cover for this issue. Nice work!
Writing and comics is always subjective, but I have enjoyed Aaron’s independent and big 2 work. Scalped is an older Vertigo series of his and he had had notable to acclaimed runs in Marvel characters. He’s good enough for me to consider pulling a monthly TMMT comic, which I have yet to do. Only cross-overs and Last Ronin up to now.
Thanks for sharing the link. I may pick this up. 👍
High hopes for Ultimate Spider-Man! We’ll see if they are dashed or not. Haven’t pulled a monthly Spidey title since the JMS run.
Also looking forward to the new Transformers from Skybound. That title has been solid so far.
I’m happy for any readers who have been enjoying Venom over the last 1–2 years, but to me, the series jumped the shark a while ago and I no longer recognize the character. To me, the character works best when it is in the head space of the symbiote/host relationship and I’d like to see a return to a more grounded take that includes a mental health approach aka battling one’s internal daemons. This cosmic Venom is certainly a different take, but I just don’t see as one that gets the character. I’d love it if Lemire or a similar writer ever took up the reigns but until something like this happens, the character will remain on the periphery for me despite my fondness for earlier approaches and runs.
The new suit looks pretty cool and I’m somewhat intrigued who the new Moon Knight will be. With that said, the end of the last arc and series was a good jumping off point for me. Overall, the run had some great moments but it was way too decompressed too much of the time for my liking. Hopefully others enjoy this new series.
Probably with something from his belt…
