Comic Book Thread II: Everyone Gets A Reboot!

[Zealot]

Doomsday Clock ended today and it's a great love letter to Superman and the DC Universe in general but if you want to really enjoy it now you kind of have to give up on figuring out where in continuity it stands.

Did they announce years of storylines with that ending..?

[Zealot]

If so I hope that 2026 crossover is true.

I know it's barely February, but the comic book cross-over event of the year was just announced:

Spoiler: show

In My Little Pony/Transformers, the scheming Queen Chrysalis casts a spell insearch of changeling allies, but accidentally interferes with a distant Cybertronian Spacebridge… and brings the Autobots and Decepticons to Equestria! As the dust settles, it’s up to Twilight Sparkle, Optimus Prime, and others to overcome the menace of malevolent magic and machinery!

This feels like self-insert fan-fiction.

Someone is gonna end up fucking one of those ponies. Possibly a robot.

The new Wolverine series had a really cool variant cover for the first issue. The claw marks are cut outs that go through to the page behind it. It's also a heavier weight cover.

I'm going to make my prediction for how all of Hickman's run ends right now:

Spoiler: show

Moira dies again and restarts the timeline, erasing everything that happens and restarting the status quo.

It was announced that there will be a crossover between Locke & Key and The Sandman in October.

Wrong thread

Woke culture has definitely gone too far at this point.

Hey, Snowflake and Safespace.

Also, there are explanations for why Namorita and Night Thrasher are alive, but I swear no two authors have read each other's work on Firestar or Rage for years. Rage was put in a coma by the Americops and later presumably killed (ignoring the coma) during the Poison/Symbiote invasion. Firestar should be on Krakoa but she was in basically three issues of X-Men and then never seen again.

Diamond isn't shipping new releases to comic book stores because of COVID-19. If this ends up that diamond is no longer used as a distributor, it may be a blessing in disguise.

[Cantih]

Oh god yes, let Diamond die in a fire.

[Krandor]

So I can't find an official statement anywhere, but are digital comics not being sold anymore either to go along with Diamond shitting the bed?

Stuff that was supposed to be available today (like Birthright 43) doesn't even exist on comixology anymore.

Edit : yeah I guess all the big companies (Marvel/DC/Image/IDW/Dark Horse) aren't going to release anything digitally either while Diamond is down, fucking LAME.

That doesn't make any sense to me.

Why not sell online codes that can be redeemed later for physical comics when shops reopen?

Buy the code, access a digital comic. When stores reopen, go to store and enter code for physical copy, store gets reimbursed for the price.

Marvel Comics has acquired the license for both Alien and Predator.

Holy shit, she hadn't even turned it into a comic yet. Everyone was expecting it'd be the next thing after Mercy.
It's been literally nothing but sketches to amuse herself the past 2 years.

halfway through Book 1 of Monstress, some hot shit and the art is gooorgeeeousss. also nabbed the first half of Saga in some hardcover editions, stoked for Vaughan to break my heart again.

setting myself up for some ASoI&F frustration/heartbreak getting into series' that are only half-done but hot damn they are good.
