royal times, twitter times
In this Twitter, we discuss comics. ...Usually.
- 16:33 DC's finally going digital! bit.ly/d8R3cB #
- 17:09 Okay, enough catching up on Twitter. There are comics to read! #
- 17:11 This week! Heralds, JLI: Generation Lost, GLC, Streets of Gotham, Return of Bruce Wayne, American Vampire, and Denny O'Neil writes 'Tec! #
- 17:12 Like REBELS last week, my shop was completely oblivious to the fact that Zatanna was coming out this week and didn't order it. :/ #
- 17:13 Though I did find the REBELS annual in the back-issues, as well as all four issues of Avengers vs. Atlas! #
- 17:19 Heralds remains the one of the most fun reads in comics. This week the majority of the art was by Emma Rios! Yessssss #
- 17:19 Emma Rios is one of my new favorites. I loved the Strange mini for the art if nothing else. #
- 17:42 Silly DC, you don't seem to get that you can't use the phrase "white power ring" in a book and expect people to take it seriously! #
- 17:43 Otherwise, Bedard's GLC is turning out better! Glad I gave it another issue, hope it keeps the momentum. #
- 17:44 but if it gets too involved with Brightest Day i might easily grow bored with it #
- 18:04 Ugh, JLI is drawn by Bennett this time. :( #
- 18:18 Okay, I like this new Red Rocket. He's got Dmitri's exuberance. This book is finally picking up! #
- 18:19 Ohhhh, and the preview for @Paul_Cornell's Action Comics! I think I can be excited now. #
- 18:20 Though I can't help but wonder why Lois is having dinner with Lex. Why would that happen? Is JMS toying with the Super-Marriage? D: #
- 18:56 I don't remember what movie's playing tonight, but I'm seeing it anyway. Oh right, I have a schedule. The Day Mars Invaded Earth! #
- 22:23 I want to make a Scott Pilgrim avatar, but I tried last night and it looked awful. #
- 22:39 The problem is the lack of good hats. There's only one, and it's awful. I want ~my~ hat! #
- 22:40 Best I could manage: www.scottpilgrimthemovie.com/avatarCreator/download/index.php?f=/1277350838086img2484865.jpg #
- 23:07 So this is a good week if you like comics where Dustin Nguyen draws Batman. #
- 23:08 Denny's fill on 'Tec is kinda interesting, though I've never particularly cared for how he wrote the Joker, at least not post-Crisis. #
- 23:10 The appearance of a Knight of St. Dumas felt a little indulgent of him, though not unexpected. #
- 23:11 The thing I really liked was how Dustin drew the flashbacks! Sort of a silver-age-meets-DCAU mesh. #
- 23:11 But this is my last issue of 'Tec. I'll miss the book, but without Nee in it I don't see much of a point. #
- 23:13 Over in Streets of Gotham, Dustin and Derek are plotting in addition to drawing! Fun little wrap-up of last month's story. #
- 23:14 The ending to the Manhunter back-up was a little anti-climactic. Chumping a chump villain is fine, but this wasn't much of an ending, really #
- 23:16 Also I really disliked the art. Not only the style, but when I can tell which panels are copy/pasted, it really drags me out of the story. #
- 23:17 Still, I'll miss Manhunter. Hope she and Andreyko both go on to great things! #
- 23:18 Looking forward to @ivanbrandon's Two-Face back-up next month! This should be interesting. #
