If it's true, it's funny how Bendis is one of the main people shitting the bed and everyone doesn't want to anger him for some reason. We already know Rhodey was killed off because he's an idiot who saw the Civil War trailers and thought Marvel Studios was going to off him. I thought it was weird that they made a big deal about Iron Man being pushed as the new flagship character only for him to coma shortly after so I can buy Riri being a mistake that threw everyone's plans off. It'd fit what we know of him originally planning to kill Peter off in Civil War 2 so Miles can be the one true Spider-Man of 616.

I don't actually hate Civil War 2 as a story, since in my opinion it handles everything better than the original (then again, I hate Mark Millar's writing). My main problem with it is that it came way too quickly after Secret Wars wrapped. We were just getting into the new status quo and then they had to go and fuck it up. I hate when a new comic gets interrupted with tie-ins to an event that are out of place. They're doing the same shit with Secret Empire, X-Men Blue for instance was four or five issues in and they stopped their main story to do a tie-in. That doesn't keep readers since if you have no interest in an event, you're probably going to drop the book.

So IDW are reviving Visionaries to be part of their shared universe:

Yeah, Hasbro's been pushing IDW to revive some of their old '80s IPs and make them share the same universe as their Transformers comics. They really want to go for that sweet Marvel shared universe cash. While it's nice to see these familiar faces from my childhood get a second wind (particularly ROM and M. A. S. K.) but I'm not sure If they can keep all these titles afloat on nostalgia alone, seeing they didn't have the same constant presence as Transformers, which has been around since its conception even at the brink of bankrupcy (if not in the US then in Europe and Asia). Even GI Joe, which had two recent-ish movies and has been around decades before Transformers, is pretty much a dead franchise save for its comics and the occasional collector's club exclusives.

That being said, I haven't been keeping up with IDW, since the Transformers comics have gone pretty bad recently. I kid you not, More Than Meets The Eye was really good a couple of years ago (I'd say it was easily on par with the best Marvel and DC had to offer in the last ten or so years), but writer James Roberts has been handled like a sacred cow above criticism, and in really starts to show. He's running out of interesting ideas, his previously miniscule flaws (spergy self-indulgence, relying on witty banter to the point where everybody sounds the same, convoluted side plots handled through exposition with weak payoffs, shallow virtue signalling) are getting more and more magnified while the wow factor of an actually well-written TF sci-fi is slowly wearing off.
Add IDW replacing artist Alex Milne, with whom Roberts had a great chemistry, and the recently relaunched and retitled Transformers: Lost Light is hot garbage. John Barber and Mairghread Scott also have their ongoing titles, but I find both writers incredibly bland.

Personally, I'd be interested in seeing them handle the Silverhawks. (Anyone else think the Bluegrass pretty much would flirt with anyone?)

Fuck yeh, Silverhawks had a kickass opening and the villains had some awesome designs. That being said, seeing how the current trend unbubtle, pandering PC-ism is still pretty prevalent in comics I'm afraid they'd make Bluegrass into a racist redneck hillbilly Trumps supporter whose one saving grace is being a closeted self-hating homosexual who loses his bigotry once his comrades help him to bravely come out.

Oh God, that'd be awesome! Can you imagine an Inhumanoids movie by Guillermo del Toro? And the ensuing merchandise... like an SH Figuarts D'Compose... *slobbers uncontrollably like a disgusting manchild he is*

Nonsense. He has to be a Playarts figure so he's big enough to stick smaller figures into his ribcage.
 
Who buys books like this, that's what I'd like to know. To skip the sperging go to five minutes or so in.

I actually like Crossed quite a bit, but I have to agree that it's not for everyone. Aside from Berserk it's the only graphic novel I like that has parts I struggle to re-read due to how nauseatingly shocking it is. Crossed might be gratuitous pulp, but in m opinion it's very well written gratuitous pulp.

It's not as bad as SJW Marvel, but the writers are seriously forced to limit what they can do with exploring the possible culture and physiology of a race made of purely mechanical sentient beings due to the fear of provoking the outrage of their oversensitive snowflake readers. Here's a bunch of female robots out of nowhere! Why do giant asexual robots have gender? Let's not delve into that, lest someone writes something that could be interpreted as even remotely mysogynistic! Why are you asking such questions, are you sexist? It doesn't help that they barely know what to do with said female characters save for maybe Windblade.

Add their recently adapted weird philosophy where intergalactic genocide is trifles compared to hurting a homosexual midget robot's feelings and you can understand why so many people lost interest in a title they loved a few years ago.

What we need is a hard, gritty reboot of Power Pack.
Click to expand...
We're getting a Power Pack one-shot out of Marvel Legacy. They've implied that any of the one-shots that does well might become an ongoing but I doubt the could do that with the Power Pack when some members are exploring the multiverse with Reed Richards and family. Assuming we aren't getting that Fantastic Four/Future Foundation return in a few weeks.
 
Weird, Alex Power is currently exploring the multiverse with the Richards family. Still, one idea I had for a Power Pack story now that there isn't a Fantastic Four is have them become the new Fantastic Four. They've always had a connection to the Fantastic Four, and thematically it works since you still have the family dynamic. It wouldn't even be that odd since the two oldest members have already been aged to be young adults, and the two youngest are teenagers as well.

The Power Pack one shot looks like it's going to be a flashback unlike the rest of them. It's odd like how there's a Not Brand Echh (an ironic title to revive considering the state of the big two) one too but the rest look like "Where are they now?" issues. Hope they don't get the Spider-Man issue where they're damned forever because of adaptations if they do more with them.
 
Anyone here know the deal about that Diversity and Comics guy and the drama he's involved in?
He seems like just another alt right youtuber nobody should care about, but apparently Mark Waid and some other Marvel higher up were talking about trying to beat him up or something if they see him at a convention.

It would be funny if he sued Marvel when he sued Waid, who is literally encouraging criminal violence against him.

I've checked out his channel, and he's not so much "alt-right" as he is "anti-SJW". He mostly points out how Marvel is circling the toilet bowl by pandering to rainbow haired land whales that don't actually buy comics.

He recently discovered that there is a private Facebook group of some SJW comic book writers/artists/editors that plan to target him at a comic con that D&C plans to attend (he showed some of the screen shots as proof), with some of them claiming they will harass him in hopes of goading him into a fight so they have an excuse to kick him out.

He definitely is not "alt-right."
He apparently has a three kids who are Jewish, Muslim and Christian (I've no idea how that happened) and his surname "Meyer" might mean that he's Jewish himself. I think he even called some group of right-wing protestors "Nazis" at some point, too.

He's an ex-marine that been making fun of SJW Marvel comics and their writers on Youtube. The writers have been pushing the narrative that he's an "harasser," are likely behind him being doxxed and have been conspiring to goad him into attacking one of them by planning to follow him around a comic convention, agitating him. They've also gloated about wanting to physically attack him in a private Facebook group (screenshots of this were leaked).
