Has anybody else checked out Cryptocracy? Seems like it might be pretty good. Kinda has an MiB vibe to it but also like deus ex where it's slamming together everything paranormal and conspiracy into one story.

Sad to see that Jade Street Protection Services issue 2 is still not out yet

So I've been trying to read Alan Moore's run on Supreme and while i can recognize what he's doing I just find it boring to the point that I've been sitting on it for like three weeks now and I haven't even made it halfway through yet. I'm blaming this on not being a Superman reader and especially on not having read any golden/silver age stuff. Is this an acceptable excuse or am I not a true comic fan?

It's a really fun book with amazingly expressive art!

Then there's THE crossover!

EDIT: I mean there's a few crossovers with other IDW licenses but oh man you'll know which crossover I'm talking about when you get to it. If you were an 80's kid you'll just be grinning from ear to ear.

Yeah, i had to finish it yesterday and the real gb crossover was great and I'm glad that they're keeping it going with bringing back blonde Egon in int'l

And you're right about the art. I have to give the writing its due first, both the character voices which are dead on and the stories themselves are actually really engaging (and the author decided to grab Kylie from extreme which was a great move imo, and there's even The Rookie from gb the game with his Chicago franchise!). But the art in the book is way better than i would've ever expected for a gb tie-in (and if you go back to read the earlier idw minis released before they tried the ongoing the difference is wild), and in addition to being great in general almost every page had some sight gag or reference to previous media for hypernerds. So loving good man omg

So i stumbled into Hickman's the Manhattan projects while looking for cyberpunk stuff and it wasn't at all what i was looking for but it interested me anyways and wow this poo poo really kinda just cuts off and loses the plot in the last couple volumes huh

And just how bananas it was was deffo part of the appeal. It's just that like vol 5 ends on assassinating jfk at the behest of lbj which felt like an interlude to the next chapter, and theres a short insinuating that trouble might be brewing in the group and then suddenly there's an arc about yuri and laika and then oops that's it i guess?? It's just like uh okay then

It was fun while it lasted i suppose

I went ahead and read uber over the weekend and it's a great book as long as you can tolerate how depressing it is

Like i realize she's a Nazi and therefore bad but my feels go out to klaudia

Maria is the best though, it's gonna suck when she dies

^^^^ Patton surviving and being crystal sensitive is lame cuz that guy was the loving worst, although this is a world where only the worst possible situation ever occurs so maybe that's the point

On the topic of trans characters, it's not indie, but this is where the discussion was going on...

Detective Comics just introduced a seemingly interesting trans woman supporting character that will probably move into the new Batwoman series.


The article seems to be trying pretty hard to shitstir, but I haven't read the issue yet.
She already seems more interesting than Batgirl's old roommate.

Oh dang there was an article on ca about this the other day and i forgot to read it thanks got reminding me, i might actually have to read detective now

Apparently "pupal" and "deadname" are secret code words here or something? IDGI

I'm still new at this but pupal = life before coming to terms/transition, and deadname = the name you had before you transition and give yourself a new name

Are you reading the Ellis run or earlier issues?

Like, the very beginning

GrandpaPants posted:

Even Ellis's Stormwatch was pretty much just a long prologue to The Authority.

Change or Die was a pretty cool arc, though. And of course the famous crossover with the WildCATS.

I had it on my list as a prequel for authority, do I only need to read Ellis' run for that?

I wouldn't waste any time at all with Stormwatch until Ellis came aboard with... #37, I think, without looking it up. Before that, it was the most generic Image trash, and I say that as a Wildcats fan. Ellis will fill you in on anything you need to know, which isn't much.

I actually prefer Ellis' Stormwatch to much of his too-short Authority run, which I greatly prefer to every bit of Authority that came afterwards.

GrandpaPants posted:

Yeah, Ellis introduces all the relevant Authority characters in his run.

Cool thanks guys. I had quit at issue 3 so I'm glad i can skip all that lol

Lion forge's summit continues to seem like it might be good but it's still getting off the ground so if you're on a budget I'd hold off maybe another issue or two before checking it out

Image's Days of hate also has an interesting premise. Sort of like calexit. Opens with a quote from Steve bannon which made me lol
