i don't understand why the same inker and colorist from the runaways/ya mini couldn't be brought over to this project.

it's like, let's put this rising artists on a higher profile book and make his art as ****ty as possible. way to go marvel.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

Wait, no, it's not opposite day. Because I am still not picking this up.

The only reason i read this thread

 

[deemar325]

I am so f--kin' stoked!









I think....I quifed.

 

[jaydawg]

You're the man now dog.

You damn well know you can't say that without posting a picture of Sean Connery. Its a scientific fact.

 

[Phoney Bone]

Yes, Slott is stricking gold. I WILL be getting this. Probably the most mainstream Marvel title I'll ever pick up. I KNOW it'll be better than Bendis. This is such exciting news.

Also, Dan : You know you wanna show what North Carolina's team is, right? I just gotta know haha.

Amen

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I hope I'm not too late for the celebration.


I brought liquor

Question: Has Slott ever written a serious book before? Even his She-Hulk was light-hearted.

in that case, you're just in time; this party has morphed into a funeral in the past few hours, and i could use a drink...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Slott writing War Machine. I see not reason for the excitement level to drop


I really don't care about this Gauntlet character already though

as cool as that is, it doesn't outweigh the news that was released today.

 

[Caliber]

This sounds like great news but hopefully the book lasts.

I don't think the inker/colorist are THAT bad. I've seen better and worse, but it's not a non-starter for me.

And after today's reveal of yet more death, hopefully Slott in this title can CREATE something new (his new characters, who look more interesting than the mindless clone sketches from NEW WARRIORS or ULTIMATES LITE, also known as THE CHAMPIONS) as well as amp up old character, especially Justice, War Machine and Yellowjacket. Slott embraces continuity so even if this is dark he won't be as prone to errors as Bendis or many others, and knows how to pace for the serial format with both one-shots and 4-6 part arcs.

Hopefully this title will sell well, and deserve to. I have some faith.

 

[PhotoJones]

by the way, some preview pages were tossed into the back of the initiative today, and they looked much, much better.

 

[Phoney Bone]

Amen

See Slott? Two NC'ers (I'm assuming Fantastic Fan is NC or have some connection to it) wanna know!!

Dan deserves this.

Plus just the thought of Dan Slott getting the chance to create all new superheroes while dusting off and polishing up familiar ones, hellz yeah.

Question: Has Slott ever written a serious book before? Even his She-Hulk was light-hearted.

His JLA arc isn't overly comedic. There are a few bits of funny dialog, but that just places him in the same field as Gail Simone and Joss Whedon, who also infuse their dialog with quips amidst overall serious story arcs. Not bad company to keep, really.

....................
I'll be reading him,.. Dan Slott has my reading ducets for his work in GLA and She-Hulk, and The thing.


He could do the worst title and I would read it (cough) THUNDERBOLTS (cough) and I would read him because it would only get better,...

[Mr.Valentine]

Am I the only one that thinks MVP looks like he's going to be really awesome? From the previews he seems cool, but Amory needs to die. She needs to die really soon, she will hopefully.

 

[Zoken]

Previews? we have previews of the Initiative members aside from Cloud 9 and War Machine? If that is true you must post linkage.

You haven't seen this already?

 

[Zoken]

No I hadn't. it looks great. I'm curious about Komodo, Guantlet and Yellow Jacket are BOTH pissing me off, and I can't wait to see what they're going to do to get Slapstick and Rage to knuckle under to people who bad-mouth their old friends. The New Warriors used to be considered Avenger's Jr. Now they're a joke. That is so wrong.
