Ray's 53rd DCU/GrayHaven Megathread - Beware the Court of OOMPHwls!!!

[Ray G.]

It's a Mentalist Holmes thing.

I don't usually watch CBS procedurals, save Blue Bloods.

[Dark Sasha]

It's a charming show.

[Dark Sasha]

But that's a good little mystery. See I came from the Chandler school of mysteries don't have to make sense but now I'm interested in the problem solving stuff.

Whew! I'd completely forgot about the whole Mark Waid writing the Amazing Spider-Man/ Daredevil crossover thing, and didn't ask my friend for a loan of his copy. But he put it in the stack for me anyway.
Spidey/DD team ups usually make for good reading

Fairy Tale pitch in. Now I have till the end of submissions to see if I come up with anything for Ghost Stories or Crime. :)
I fell asleep last night before I could check my e-mails so we'll see what pitches have landed since then

I'm still wondering whether to submit something for Pulp, I'll mull it over tomorrow when I've actually had a good nights sleep and I'm not at work

What the fuck is a Red John?

And now the next shitstorm...

[Marc Lombardi]

T'was pretty damn good. I'm glad I didn't miss it, though not knowing what was going on with Peter Parker's life, I pretty much skimmed everything that was "him" centric. But Waid did a bloody good job of making it friendly to readers of just his Daredevil run. It makes me more excited for his other crossover soon.
Damn...forgot about the Spidey/Daredevil crossover. Was is a required read for the setup of the new Daredevil issue?


I'll wait till my dad falls asleep.

11-12 is my best writing hour.

[Matthew Brown]

Will probably try G.I. Combat. The War That Time Forgot, The Unknown Soldier, and The Haunted Tank are all weird war properties that I can't resist. And the creative teams are good.

[Howlett]

And now the next shitstorm...

:lol:

Shame about Olivetti though. I'm not personally a fan of his art, but he's been around a long time, and has his fans. It definitely sounds like this wasn't a fun experience.

I have to say though, if the translation is accurate, I don't like that he slammed the writers who were brought in to clean things up towards the end of Iron Machine 3.14159265. It's not their fault they had to work with what they were given. There are some things that nobody could spin gold from. I don't care how talented a writer they are.

Damn...forgot about the Spidey/Daredevil crossover. Was is a required read for the setup of the new Daredevil issue?
I'd say yes. The ending is a cliffhanger that leads directly into the next issue of Daredevil. It focuses more on Spider-Man, obviously, but if they'd slapped a "Daredevil 7.1" number on the cover no one would've blinked at it.

[The Doctor]

How've you been?

[Howlett]

Just read all three Jason Aaron Marvel releases from last week. Wolverine was fun as hell, and Wolverine and the X-Men was even better.

I really have to say though, I'm not in the least bit impressed with where the Hulk is going. I love Jason Aaron, but I just don't think he's a good fit for the book. And the art isn't helping matters either.

Ah well, there was bound to be a book he did that I wasn't a fan of eventually. Good track record so far I say :)

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

Pretty good. Very busy, but pretty good. :)

On the way to the airport and then off to Vegas. This is gonna be a heckuva weekend.

You?
Not too bad. Keeping busy too thanks to Grayhaven. Catching up on comics right now while my girlfriend is playing American McGee's Alice on the PS3.

Did you read Punishermax?

No. I dropped the book because of the way it was delayed mid-arc in favour of Millar's unnecessary Ultimates arc.

Main villain in the Mentalist TV show

And a damn good one it is. Great lead character with confidence, charm and smarts and just a hint of darkness at times. One of the best modern day detective/mystery shows around.

[Matthew Brown]

Oh man, actually, I wonder if G.I. Combat will all be set in WW2?

I guess they could all work in modern re-imaginings... I just prefer period pieces so much.

[Slewo.O]

So among the books I read this week, Whisper and Last of the Greats were fantastic. Both were very different shades of creepy, and it was my first time reading a Luna book. The art was extremely gorgeous and the story was sweet. And I'm not sure what kind of place Josh is writing from, but it's working for him so far. And the art from Brent Peeples is badass. I wish people would pick up this book so it'd continue... :?

[Slewo.O]

Oh man, actually, I wonder if G.I. Combat will all be set in WW2?

Same here man. WW2 era soldiers vs Dinosaurs would be sick. However the backup story is Haunted Tank and I'm
pretty sure it's set in WW2.

Vertigo did an update of Haunted Tank recently set in the Iraq war, though. And The Unknown Soldier, which is also in the book, also had a modern Vertigo update. So I really don't know what they'd do.

Well that's going to be interesting. Seems they're going for the more modern update, but you never know. Maybe they'll figure people will find the earlier versions more interesting.

How old are you?

My family went, literally, two weeks before I turned 21. They were astonished when I told them I wasn't going. I told them screw it, I'm throwing a massive party for myself, it's not worth it (which I did, and it was a much better decision). If I'd been 18 or 19, that would have been one thing. But two weeks before 21? Screw that.

That's ridiculous. Don't blame you at all for not going.

I was in Atlantic City when I was 19, and yeah, not much to do there either.

I went to Vegas last year and it was still a lot of fun back there.

Yeah, I feel like there was some reason for their decision to go at that point, but it beats me. Probably visiting my aunt in Phoenix when it was convenient for her, and then decided to make Vegas a part of the trip. I did end up going with them about a year later, though.

Like Holmes, he uses his people observation skills most of all and is the smartest guy in any room he's in. He knows it, too, but he's haunted by a horrible event in his past, so that gives him his human side. Very well acted, I might add, almost perfect casting for him, really. Red John's idenity is the best ongoing prime TV mystery right now. Best part is the producers have said the serial killer Red John is someone viewers have met before. Whether that's a series regular or a previous episode villian/guest star, is part of the fun.

Edmondson was one of the best new finds in the DCnU. I really hope he left and wasn't pushed, and maybe has something more coming up.

[Ray G.]

What are the other two?

The Savage Hawkman and Deathstroke. Both seem a good fit for his style.

Grifter...it has been a very different title from his 90's incarnation so far. I don't want to see that change.

Rob Liefeld is taking over the writing chores on three DCU books


...and Grifter is one of them. :(
Damn, and I was loving Grifter so much.

[Arion]

Life as an Irish fanboy part 5 :)

http://www.grayhavencomics.com/2012/01/13/my-life-as-an-irish-fanboy-part-5/

I'll go read it now.

[Drkemerld73]

The Savage Hawkman and Deathstroke. Both seem a good fit for his style.

Grifter...it has been a very different title from his 90's incarnation so far. I don't want to see that change.

Thanks!

Hmmm.

I'm not sure Savage Hawkman would be the best choice for him. The character has been hurting for a solid comeback (one continuing from BD) and I'm under the impression that Liefeld won't be able to give him that much needed boost. The character is probably going to be hurting for a while.

Still. I wish him well in his continues success and sorry that Hawk & Dove got cancelled since he seemed to be really excited to be back working on them.

[Arion]

Let me clarify...the sad face is NOT about Liefeld's writing. The sad face is because Nathan Edmondson is leaving the title.


Got it.

[Erica J Heflin]

It'll be interesting to see what he does on Hawkman and Deathstroke. But Grifter? Nooooooooooo!!!! :cry:

Edmondson was one of the best new finds in the DCnU. I really hope he left and wasn't pushed, and maybe has something more coming up.

I rather appreciate Edmondson's work as well. I hope he does some other DC work in the future.

[Matthew Brown]

Yeah, I'm sad.

[Ray G.]

It would be awesome if he moved on from Grifter because he's taking over for Cornell on Stormwatch.

[NickT]

Grifter...it has been a very different title from his 90's incarnation so far. I don't want to see that change.
Yeah, it was already borderline for me, that might be the push it needed to be removed.

[Foolish Mortal]

:( why does he get so much hate!?!?
To be fair to Austen, some of his creator-owned work and out-of-continuity work like War Machine is actually pretty good.

It's when they give him in-continuity material to work with, is when it gets dicey. His runs on Avengers, X-Men, Superman are bizarre and leave a bad taste in my mouth.

[Ray G.]

Uh-oh...

Marc! what is your 3DS friend code?!?
Mine is: 4038 6389 3850




Not sure, honestly. I'll PM you with it this weekend.

When are we playing Mario Kart fellas?

[Slewo.O]

Uh-oh...

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2012/01/13/carlos-d’anda-illustrating-justice-league-8/

I can already hear the hum of the Breaker of Message Boards. :?

[Ego Lives!]

I wish they would be clearer on this Liefeld news. Yes, he's on PLOT for Hawkman and Grifter, which would imply that someone else is scripting. But is it Daniel and Edmondson? Or someone else.

[Marcdachamp]

When are we playing Mario Kart fellas?

When I get it. :lol:

[Howlett]

Howlett may appreciate this behind the scenes bit on Chuck Austin

http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/01/13/ask-chris-89-the-rise-and-fall-of-chuck-austen/
That's pretty interesting, but yet again another does a Chuck Austen retrospective, yet doesn't bother to do research.

I can't be the ONLY person on the fucking planet that got that Nightcrawler's dad wasn't a demon, but PRETENDED to be one because he LOOKED like one. And gathered mutants with similar biblical powers and appearances.

I even got that WITHOUT needing Austen's clarification. It's still not a great story, but not for the reasons constantly given :lol:

It sounds much funnier in Spanish, but yes, the translation is accurate.
Cool. Thanks for the info :D

This is my reaction as well. Good for Rob, but I was loving what Edmondson was doing :(

[Erica J Heflin]

Edmondson is saying to keep an eye on ComicsAlliance, so I imagine there'll be news soon.

Honestly I can't imagine him dialoguing while Liefeld plots.

[Karate and Friendship]

It would be awesome if he moved on from Grifter because he's taking over for Cornell on Stormwatch.

That would be pretty cool. Not that I've read Grifter, just Who is Jake Ellis?

[Erica J Heflin]

It would be awesome if he moved on from Grifter because he's taking over for Cornell on Stormwatch.

I really liked Stormwatch with Cornell. I know a good number of people had differing opinions, but it rated very highly among the new 52 for me. I'm curious as to who will be taking over as well.

[Slewo.O]

When I get it. :lol:

What are you sitting around here for then? :mistrust:

[Karate and Friendship]

I want Cornell to write Captain Britain/Pete Wisdom/MI:13 again.

[Marc Lombardi]

I stopped ordering with issue #6. I enjoyed the first arc, but I needed to trim the pull list a little bit.
Loving it, which is why I'm sad to see N.E. go.

Yikes...not the best news to hear. Too much switching around. This is exactly what I was afraid of. I really hope DC doesn't shoot themselves in the foot with this.

I get the feeling he's moving to another book. Or a new title entirely. The Stormwatch thing is an interesting idea and means I'd maybe have to check out the issues I missed if that's the case.

[Ray G.]

I really liked Stormwatch with Cornell. I know a good number of people had differing opinions, but it rated very highly among the new 52 for me. I'm curious as to who will be taking over as well.

Agreed. One of my favorites from the new 52.

I think it's just them trying to keep this book on schedule. I was really hoping Jim Lee was very far ahead, but it doesn't look like it.

[UltimateFactor]

To celebrate Rob quite possibly ruining one of my favorite new 52 comics [Grifter] here is my favorite Creation of his. Ever.

Jim Lee falling behind? Has that happened before?

Stormwatch is soooooo fuckin' awesome.

Yeah, I've gone back and read Austen's run in retrospective. He was one of the only other writers to actually run with the whole "secondary mutation" thing, and he had some interesting ideas, even if they weren't executed great.

Ain't it though? I thought Crypt was the coolest thing ever as a kid. Especially after he killed Supreme. :lol: I had the Mcfarlane figure, still have it as a matter of fact. He just has one arm now. :shifty:

[Drkemerld73]

Pretty sure.

Divine Right, I think, had a lot of time inbetween issues.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/01/13/yes-world-there-will-be-justice-league-5-next-week/

I think it's going to be touch and go and possibly a store-by-store scenario; we didn't have it on our invoice and it looks like a lot of other places didn't either.

It's totally possible that they physically have the books and are getting them out in a supplemental or emergency fashion. I really hope that's the case.

[Michael Blacklist]

DC just tweeted that it WILL be late and arrive on the 25th. Oh well. I'm still enjoying the book.

Midtown Comics didn't have it on their order form either.

I want to believe that Geoff Johns and Jim Lee are going on a wacky cross-country adventure to deliver them personally.

[Ray G.]

DC just tweeted that it WILL be late and arrive on the 25th. Oh well. I'm still enjoying the book.

Ah, there you go, then. At least it sticks with the same month.

If it's a week-by-week issue, my guess is it was a printing issue, not creative.

[Dark Sasha]

DC just emailed me and they said that Jim Lee just died.....his hair.

Dammit :(

I agree with Ray though. This sounds like a printing issue. Generally when it's creative delays seem to be a bit longer than simply a week.

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

Although it does seem to be running into some trouble on Jim Lee's end, given the two fill-ins in between the first two arcs.

This series is even better when you read the terrible reviews by die-hard Shadow fans.

[Dark Sasha]

What do you think Geoff Johns is doing with all that new 52 money?


Probably going to underground internet cafes where they crush little boys' dreams and laugh and do cocaine!

[Dark Sasha]

Shadow was always hardcore.

[Howlett]

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

Yeah, that is true. Such a damn shame too. I don't want to lose him on the book, but if he keeps getting fill in's when other creators get dropped, that's going to look really bad for the company.

I don't have his phone number.

Nick Spencer is beyond phones!

He will only communicate through a special form of morse code using tossed pigs!

I'm going to read Severed as a complete mini once the final issue is out, but fuck, this is easily the scariest comic I think I've ever read.

Read Rachel Rising. Not as much pure terror but damn scary in it's own right

[Matt O'Keefe]

Anyone else wonder if the Spencer thread will end up on Bleeding Cool?

[Dark Sasha]

Read my memoir comic "Summer camp fun fun".

[Ray G.]

Read Rachel Rising. Not as much pure terror but damn scary in it's own right

I'll see if I can find the early issues. Missed the boat on that one.

Which publisher is it? Maybe I'll be able to pick it up at MOCCA if I haven't already.

I remember when comics pros used to hang out on this board a lot more.
I'd be able to post stuff like "By the power of Grayskull, we need Gail Simone" and BAM! there she'd be.

I haven't the foggiest idea my dear karate. :shifty:

I don't think there's any one thing. It seems like there's an individual reason behind each.

Though time probably helps. I don't think Fraction has time to drop by the board like he once did.

[Ray G.]

Marvel released two 19-page $3.99 comics this week. :nonono2:

That's one of my favorite ones right now.

It's sooooo good. The latest issue just turned up the creepy factor. Love it.

[Slewo.O]

I don't think there's any one thing. It seems like there's an individual reason behind each.

I think it's more the advent of Twitter if anything. Once Bendis got one, it was inevitable.

They were on twitter before they all left.

[Slewo.O]

That was another guy who used to drop by every once in awhile. Heck, Jason Aaron came by here a few times, when his Black Panther comic came out.

[Foggy's Pal]

I haven't the foggiest idea my dear karate. :shifty:

Did someone say foggy?

[AndrewG]

Why don't creators come by more often? :(

The board as a whole doesn't tend to get into comic talk as much, some people tend to treat creators like shit (whether it's directly or in comments in a thread), they're busy and the more creators interact on forums the greater chance there is of them saying something that people will take offense to or anger their bosses.

[Ray G.]

Which comics were they?

Ultimate X-Men and Carnage USA.

[Foggy's Pal]

I mean in the sense that Twitter is an easier medium for communication than a message board. It probably does have more than a bit to do with certain... Other elements though. :p

[AndrewG]

It really is. Probably one of my most anticipated books every month. Though I still like to read it last :D

Depending on my mood I read what I think will be my favorites first or last. I should just do it alphabetically.

I have to admit, I'm actually excited for a book about the Scarlet Spider... I owe you an apology for all the years of potshots. :p

[Matt O'Keefe]

But I'm assuming 19 instead of 20 means the writer is pacing it how he wants, and it just happens to be a page below the norm. Sounds like a good thing to me.

[Ray G.]

If you're charging a dollar more for the same amount of content as your competition, that's bad enough. A dollar more for less is just getting insulting.

Matt Fraction even admitted he likes writing 20 pages more than 20. That's his comfort zone.

Oh yeah, Scarlet Spider was pretty decent.

Almost guaranteed. The surest way would be for someone to mention Rich's name. Brings him up like BeetleJuice.

The comp is moving to $3.99 as well.

[Ray G.]

The comp is moving to $3.99 as well.

For 28 pages of story, no?

There have been a few issues of JL or Action where I wouldn't say the backup content was "Story", per se, but that seems to be ending as of late. But when DC does $3.99 books lately, it's always with bonus stories.

[AndrewG]

Wait...Bleeding Cool news or forums? It won't turn up on news surely?

It could. Nick's political past showed up as a news story on there. I'm sure if it's relevant to something going on in the news it'll make it on there.

I might actually read Morning Glories now if I find the time/money.

[Dark Sasha]

Mapped out the finale to Houses of the Holy. Very Se7en meets Yo La Tengo.

[Matthew Brown]

Finally got issue 2 of Ultimate Hawkeye, so I'm caught up on Hickman's corner of the Ultimate Universe. I can see where the universe is more connected now (Xorn/Zorn and the mutants, Spider-Woman getting the photo of Spider-Man), but just reading Ultimates and Hawkeye, I feel like I'm still getting a whole story.

[Dark Sasha]

Typing feels so good on a Macbook!

I got the first two trades from the library yesterday. I'm sure I'll post about my impression of the series.

Typing feels so good on a Macbook!

Which one did you get?

Which one did you get?

13 inch.

Midtown Comics didn't have it on their order form either.

I want to believe that Geoff Johns and Jim Lee are going on a wacky cross-country adventure to deliver them personally.
that would be awesome to read

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

Although it does seem to be running into some trouble on Jim Lee's end, given the two fill-ins in between the first two arcs.

If it means another 6 issues in a row from him, possibly more then I don't mind

This should give me an idea of how many months old my pull was. I have 4's of Batman, All-Star Western, JLA Dark and GLC. And the rest of my DC's are #5. :D

That's a dumb logo.

Don't forget Deathstroke too.

Just spent 4 hours typing up my interview with Charlie Adlard

:dead:

Now I've got an Irish fanboy to do

[Olivier E.]

Don't forget Deathstroke too.

plotted by Alan Moore :lol:

[The Doctor]

Read comics!

Batgirl was enjoyable as always. Love the dialogue and that we're getting some new villains for Barbara

The first issue of Scarlet Spider was very enjoyable. I liked that Kaine's mindset hasn't been completely fixed despite his change of appearance. Art was really nice and the catch up at the back was cool but it was funny to see so many complex stories packed into like 4 pages:)

Amazing was good but I think for some reason Waid writing Peter just doesn't work. I love some of his other comic stuff but with Spider-man it seems like trying to fit a triangle into a square shape.

I am looking forward to the conclusion in Daredevil

[Mister Mets]

Don't forget Deathstroke too.I think he's an okay enough fit for Deathstroke.

The book is currently about a hitman who kills super-powered people in entertaining ways.

Rob Liefeld can handle that.

Grifter involves an alien conspiracy, so that requires a writer who can handle complex narratives.
I don't know if Liefeld's a good fit for that.

He might do okay on Hawkman, though. The hero is arrogant and violent, which fits what I know of Liefeld's writing.

[Karate and Friendship]

I don't know what it is, but after somebody posted a cover of Liefeld's Crypt...I really want to read Crypt.

They needed space for 3 more books, chances are they'll be the next ones on the chopping block.

That or Harras is trying to turn the clock back to 1990. Seriously, check out the stable of writers.

Demon Knights, fantastic as always!
