Fairplay feels like the most earnest go at it so far, a genuine addition to Michael's mythos regardless of the book. And Coogler's been doing whatever the fuck with the brand even before killing off T'Challa, so good luck lol.
Bronze Tiger, Blade, Mr. Terrific, and now Coogler's Black Panther. Jade Tiger's fine. Shiva and Bronze Tiger as your parents is dope conceptually, but he'll likely get whisked away once Brombal leaves the book. Bloodline was sent straight to Infinity Comic hell after Blood Hunt.
I know some people like/love them but ion agree with giving Mr. Terrific & Blade kids.
How can a hero whoβs never held the spotlight long now share it with a kid.
Web of Blood #1 Laura's the only character yet to hit a domain expansion, emphasizing she's abandoned her teachings for technomancy. Weekly creative-team POV shifts are interesting, but I'm eager to conclude Miles, Illyana, and Laura's story. Can't wait for Web of Destiny #1.
@trngjialo Now that you mention it, yeah. Just went back to look at my physical copies and it seems Valenza's colors didn't scan properly because it doesn't look this crazy in digital lmao.
Teen Titans #1 is a calm read. The art's striking, very poppy and graphic. Suits the book's tone perfectly. My only complaint is that Costa colors Lian damn near yellow at times, which feels like an odd misstep. Higgins's voice for Fairplay is off to a strong start-
@drippythunder83 Yeah in the official DC discord server. The text messages you see in today's issue were basically conversations they had in the server last week.
I think the entire landscape of how comics release needs to be changed. Itβs dated and archaic.
We get previews for books months in advance that spoil current runs.
We get previews for books second issues before the first one even releases.
Itβs so bad
-Looking ahead, I do worry about the focus and pacing given that this roster is going to be constantly growing, especially with Jason occupying such a prominent role. Still, overall, it's a decent start.
-vaulting over the meek autistic trope that could have easily trapped the character. That said, the ARG and previews gave away a decent amount of the reading experience; if you avoided those, you likely got more out of the issue than those who engaged with the hype beforehand.-
The Kelly's must've just got done watching JJK Hidden Inventory cus the twist in this made me bust out laughing lmfaoo. At least we got rid of the Spinja name. Remind me not to post my thoughts before I finish the whole issue.π
Miles mangaverse backstory kinda out there lmao. Parents? Dead. Peter? Gone? Gwen? Dead. The Spinja name some ass but he's definitely written better here than whatever that shit the Kelly's were doing in Spider-Versity. The trio of Miles, Laura and Illyana works somehow.
Shame they didn't just make it an entire mini so we weren't moving at a breakneck pacing wise. We'll wrap up this story at the end of the month at least after the other two books get their week.

The scars of Ridley's run are felt all now lmao. Okoye and the Milaje not fucking with Big T at all. T'Challa's new cape absorbing even the sunlight is mad though. #BlackPantherSpoilers#BP#BPSpoilers
@ayostillright True but damn no vacation days? Jeff donβt have some old SHIELD money stashed away π? And Valentina doesnβt look scared in that last panel, she looks intrigued if anything so Miles running off like that definitely confirms her suspicions if she has any.
Oh Valentina's absolutely gonna piece together that Miles is Spider-Man lmfao. Also, I appreciate the stakes and drama but why the hell is Rio going to work like normal after Jeff almost got stained last chapter π
Honestly, after they killed off big T I've had 0 expectations for the MCU at all but the way they're just going full throttle into an event that was predicated on build-up is hilarious. Now, you can introduce variants of all these characters once we hit Battle World but... eh.
I'm so used to the edited version of this panel I forgot this is what he actually says lmfao. Killmonger had that shit on though, gotta give it to him.
