Yeah, a lot of that was by way of DiDio, he was famously not a fan of books like Justice League International for example. Theres a lot of stories about him from the time at summits explicitly mandating certain story choices like the whole Identity Crisis Sue Dibney fiasco.

His more recent New Golden Age stuff was also more upbeat with Stargirl:The Lost Children and Adams Jay Garrick book under his wing.

A lot of that was by editorial mandate, DiDio wanted to prove DC could publish more "mature" content in the main universe by filling the books with edgier content. Johns has written lots of more upbeat books primarily in his late 90s material like JSA/Stargirl and Flash pre-Rebirth.

Ooo they revealed the 1:25 cover! Its the one Panini used for their Art Of Ultimate X-Men book, I wanted to get a copy but they dont ship them internationally to the US, only select European countries, and they were pretty expensive on the secondary market bc of said limited shipping.

Makes sense! Marvel is lucky to have her on an exclusive deal or DC would probably champ at the bit to get her on a Black Label book

I already have USM #17 and I'm still tryna get that second print though 😵💫 if Marvel could get a mysterio arc out of Peach on any Spidey comic after UXM that would look great

I was wondering some of the rough translations for the design covers I have a photo translator app but its liable to change the words entirely if my phone moves even a little millimeter while translating so it's kind of a pain

Im trying to think of one and none other come to mind except maybe Dave Chappelle. While he did have that whole tackling on stage at a comedy special he hasnt lost any opportunities with any of the major media moguls so much as local venues.

Oh no...I've seen many a comics creator I like end up on those spaces bc those guys know how to lovebomb somebody even creators they arent actually fans of, like I've seen instances where somebody has ended up on their channel when the same channel was shit talking their work not even a few days ago

It seems like its been a trend ppl started caring about in the last 3 years or so from what I was lookin' at online..a ton of my books have those inserts I didnt think that was a rarity lol apparently the reason ppl care is bc they only really went in books distributed near military bases

Im down for the design covers for the next few issues too but is very tempting...

I upgraded to the 4th print when my shop didnt put me down for the portrait cover like I asked, instead netting me a non-Momoko cover, I preferred having the consistency of artist since I never found the portrait variant I switched it over for this one and gave the other away to someone else to have

They're like thinly veiled anti vaxxer docu series ads
comment in response to
post
Mine used to always be daily wire sponsored ads but less of that now, now they're weird docu series probably sponsored by RFK JR if I had to guess lol

Bought my copy! These still apply for the sketch/signature set or no? Asking bc the listing states sketched with signatures including those of folks on the cover

I remember there was an article by a Disney adult guy complaining that they took out some of the racist caricature characters from the theme park rides based on those characters I saw a video way back of somebody criticizing the article but could never find the original article

They had a bunch of the Kirby volumes but vol 5 stuck out the most with Surfer material in there, I think some of the earlier volumes had Captain Flagg stuff (I think that was the characters name.) I had also found Rich Buckler' How To Draw Comics and Fingeroth' How to Write Comics in there!
