So kick-back, watch out for spoilers, and talk about your favorites in the comments section below!
“Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P.” #1: Even the characters themselves found Bruce’s trip to the beach after his duel with Flashpoint!Thomas (rather than going back to Gotham as quickly as possible) ridiculous and nonsensical. Good to know readers who disliked it weren’t alone. – Greg Ellner
“Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P.” #1: King: i have made profundity. Tynion:
you fucked up a
perfectly good hero is what
you did. look at it. it’s got family issues. – Elias Rosner
“Blackwood: The Mourning After” #1: Better than my freshman novel,
The Power of Mindful Learning. At least yours is practical Wren. – Elias Rosner
“Blackwood: The Mourning After” #1: #teammortlake – Elias Rosner
“Doctor Strange: Surgeon Supreme” #3: … Okay, I’ll be the one to say it. At least by D&D rules, only a few dragons actually breathe fire, mostly red dragons. You’re fighting a green dragon, so it should be breathing poison instead. I’m not sure if that would make this any better. – Robbie Pleasant
“Excalibur” #7: I know I’m not supposed to like Cullen Bloodstone here, but those haunted hunting cats are pretty dope. – Jake Hill
“Hawkeye: Freefall” #3: Wow. Ollie’s really gotten dark since the end of “Crisis.” – Elias Rosner
“Hawkeye Freefall” #3: You guys, I’m starting to suspect the Hood might be a… bad guy. – Jake Hill
“Hawkeye: Freefall” #3: Disney will never let him be this weird in the MCU, will they? Because Nick Fury’s questionable ethics are way too silly for their grizzled spy man. – Elias Rosner
“Immortal Hulk” #31: I know Xemnu is a bad guy, but I just want to cuddle with him. Soft fur! – Jake Hill
“Immortal Hulk” #31: Oh my god is that Xemnu!? In the fur?! I had his action figure from
Xemnu and the Revengers! He was the revengiest. – Elias Rosner
“Iron Man 2020” #2: Why did they program them to feel pain!? – Robbie Pleasant
“Iron Man 2020” #2: Wait, when did H.E.R.B.I.E. become a badass? Because I like it! – Robbie Pleasant
“Nebula” #1: She played Fallout and decided that V.A.T.S. was an excellent superpower. – Jake Hill
“Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren” #3: The Knights of Ren are a bunch of ass-grabbing buffoons and they know that Ben Solo is trash. I’m here for them. – Jake Hill
“Tartarus” #1: Now that’s what I call camera angles – Jake Hill
“Thor” #3: I am like X-lax, Thor. Please. You will not enjoy the process. – Elias Rosner
“Thor” #3: Cates said he wanted his “Thor” to be Norwegian Black Metal, and I’d say he succeeded. – Jake Hill
“X-Force” #7: I don’t care what anyone says, Colossus and Domino are OTP. – Jake Hill
“X-Force” #7: Snowboard chases with tree-powered laser arms is precisely why I pick up issues of “X-Force.” Shoom! Shoom! – Jake Hill
“X-Men” #6: You fucking tell ’em Mystique. Explicitly canonize that shit. – Elias Rosner
