It's been announced that George Perez, one of the greatest icons in comics has passed away today.
He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, and decided to let nature take its course rather than undergo chemo.
Goodbye, George. It was your work on New Teen Titans and Crisis on Infinite Earths that got me into comics. May you rest in peace.

I thought I would share this. It's a sketch George drew for me at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. Little do people know that Firestorm was the first character George worked on at DC when it was a backup feature in The Flash. He even affectionately called Ronnie, "ol' knucklehead."

If it wasn't for George we never would have had crisis on infinite earth's and the 80s Teen Titans... Which by extension means no Teen Titans animated series.

Rest in peace Mr Perez may you join the ranks of the greatest creators in comics history
 
Are there any good Moon Knight runs I should check out? I was really interested in doing so after I watched the Netflix show and I have only really seen him in supporting roles.
 
Carthago Adventures v6 047.jpg

Had to read it in french, but finally got to read all 6 books of Carthago Adventures. The last book give us a origin to Wolfgang vitality and his juices, also this is the best depiction of Mapinguari I ever saw, pretty creepy

We’re apparently redoing “Superman Vs The Elites”, only this time it’s the Elites who are right, I’m betting.

Would have been better to make the pink haired sodomite turn out to be the version of Ultraman who kidnapped/tortured Jon for 7-8 years, having survived the latest reset to Earth 3 by hiding on the main Earth and transforming himself into a twink so he could further torment Jon by raping him.

The power seems like a very Jojo-esque thing that really boils down to "anything to make the story progress in a way that I want it to." But unlike Jojo it will not be entertaining.

Also the X-Men had a gay page where Jean Grey moralizes to a bunch of aliens betting against Earth and calls the act 'shorting'. I have no idea why they called gambling against a planet shorting, but it also makes a gay remark that gambling is somehow the fault of capitalism. The entire thing is stupid because Marvel Earth unironically wins so much that allowing betting at all seems retarded.
I don't know why, but the X-Men writers seem to be that kind of smug asshole who never got kicked in the ribs in their life. The villains unironically have a point because the X-Men have sided with actual genocidal monsters, but I've said this before. It's all retarded and I'm glad I don't pay for this liberal wet dream of minority stand-ins never being wrong.

The gambling place has been one of the two main plotlines for the main X-Men title.

The Earth is being targeted by a renegade fungus plant that resembles Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors, simply because it's Earth (a running theme in it's subplot pages is that Audrey is 100% prejudiced against humans and keeps making racist jokes about humanity).

Also, that bit wasn't the worst part of the issue: the big mystery about who Doctor Stasis? No, it's not Judas Traveler or even Pymtron..... it's

a random Mr Sinister clone who has never encountered the X-Men before and instead of a diamond mark on his head, has a black spade on his forehead.

Make Jon a faggot, check, steal storylines from the past, check.

You know...I can't wait for the American comic book industry to just fucking go away.

That would be fucking epic. Then have the real Jon have to deal with the fallout from danger hairs and fags being triggered that he only likes girls. Years of stories out of that.

They’re bringing back Gwen Stacy again to shit on Peter for not saving her.

They've brought her back, five or six times?

Gwenpool, Spider-Gwen 1 and 2. At this point Gwen has less impact than Mary Jane Watson for fans due to the former being blacklisted by Fatass Joe.

Gwenpool
Click to expand...
While Gwenpool was inspired by Gwen Stacy, she's not her or an alternate universe one. She's a different person named Gwendolyn Poole, who got the code name when the person designing her costume misheard her. She was originally a comics fan from "the real world" that ended up in the 616 universe that used her knowledge of comics and awareness of being in one to become a merc for hire since her knowing she is in a comic lets her "bend" reality around her. She had enough power to even retroactively turn herself into a mutant (kind of what Franklin Richards until Chucky called him out as using his powers to fake an X-gene).

Speaking of, Dan Slott needs to get his fat ass around to resolving that shit. After all the hubbub of the X-Men declaring war on the FF to let Franklin stay on Krakoa, and then having Reed whisper something to Chuck at the first Hellfire Gala, we've been given fuck all on this since.

My theory is that Sinister somehow altered Franklin's readings, because that will get him off Chuck's radar and make it easier for Sinister to grab Franklin. Sinister would love to be able to experiment on one of the most powerful mutants on Earth and considering that Essex started as a baseline human that gave himself an X-gene, then hiding Franklin's x-gene would be easy for him to do.
 
Well, this is bullshit but I should have seen it coming.

I am buying the Eaglemoss 'Legend of Batman' partwork, and a few months ago they randomly skipped issue #94. No notice, no explanation, they just released issues #93, #95, #96 etc right up to #100 without missing a beat. Nothing on their website, no informative notes slipped into later issues. So I spent two months lurking on eBay Britain, sucking up to various people disposing of their collections, until I found someone willing to ship their copy of #94 overseas for a nice $55.

Three weeks later I walk into my newsagent, expecting #101, and instead of #101 there's fucking #94, for the traditional fee of $21.99.

Fuck's sake. If they pulled this shit with the pommies, I can see why some of them are getting rid of their collections.

At least you can buy them on newstands. The pure hassle of having to import those books combined with the latecomer fees and the hassle of ordering overseas is why I've never tried to get into them. And god knows they've got a bunch of stuff in their reprint range that I'd love to get my hands on.

Slott only wrote that line with Xavier declaring Franklin a fake mutant because he was pissy that Hickman was going to fuck with his shit and try and steal Franklin for the X-Books. Supposedly the Dawn of X X-Men/FF mini was ghost written by Hickman and Hickman in particular pushed HARD with the ending where Xavier and Magneto gleefully lobotomized Reed so he could NEVER EVER AGAIN make a power suppressor/power stealing device for mutants who don't want to be mutants/deal with the Krakoa sex cult bullshit and just wanted a normal life. And for it to be a GOOD thing too.

Hickman's also never said what it was that he had Reed whisper to Xavier during the first Hellfire Gala. Hickman and Slott's feud ended abruptly when Hickman got forced off the X-Books and IIRC the new Marauder's writer has teased that Kitty going to Reed to try and rebuild the now shattered relationship between Reed and the X-Men after what Xavier did.

That said, I'd be OK with keeping Slott on Fantastic Four purely to prevent him from getting back onto Spider-Man. Which he is angling to do, since he's still fucking butt-hurt over being forced off the book against his will so it could be handed over to Nick Spencer, as part of Spencer taking the fall for Nazi Capgate.
 
Yeah, I remember Slott talking about plans far into the future for Spider-Man. No doubt he'd probably sacrifice a school bus full of children to get back on the book.

I'd say "hopefully Marvel's smart enough to keep him away" but they're not and honestly I just don't give a shit anymore. Spider-Man has at least three decent-ish ending points and there's more than enough comics from the '60s - 2010 to keep me preoccupied.
