They just refused to go to the next season, I guess. I don't know.

Here's the episode list.

 

[PhotoJones]

That's unheard of. I wish Gargoyles could come back in some form, either in a new TV show or a movie or something.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I just wish the comic could get a better artist. I'm fine with a comic continuation, but it's so hard to look at.

 

[PhotoJones]

The covers are great. Just get the dude who does the covers to do in the interior work. Problem solved.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe Guler's too busy doing storyboard work or just about anything else, which would almost assuredly pay more than small-press indie comics.

 

[PhotoJones]

Labor of love, damn it! Do it for the kids!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe he's lovingly laboring at the higher-paying work for his kids.

 

[PhotoJones]

Screw his kids. What about all of us? Greater good, and all that.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

So, post-"Messiah Complex" it's time to reevalute the ole X-books.

Pre-"Endangered Species/Messiah Complex" I bought:

Astonishing X-Men
New X-Men
Uncanny X-Men

I added X-Men and X-Factor for the duration of ES/MC, plus the Emperor Vulcan miniseries that ends next week.

I know I'll be sticking with Astonishing (it seldom comes out, so it's easy to keep buying) and Uncanny; New is over, and I like the look of X-Force, so I'll buy that; I'll put X-Men: Legacy and X-Factor on provisionally; I tried the latter pre-ES, and dropped it after a few issues (wasn't my thing), but I'm interested to see what happens with Layla, and I like Darwin, who's joining the cast. From what I've seen of Young X-Men so far, it doesn't much interest me, and I'll probably skip Cable as well. So that leaves me with:

Astonishing
Legacy
Uncanny
X-Factor
X-Force

Yes....YES!

 

[Manic]

Me too. I dropped the rest of them in disgust over the cancelation of Heroes For Hire.

That title was worthless after Palmiotti and Gray left. Colleen stopped acting cute, Shang-Chi was whipped, and quirky-&-lovable Humbug was ruined 12 times over.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But they made up for it with hentai tentacle rape.

 

[Manic]

Hentai tentacle rape we couldn't even see.

Also, where were Otis' wacky moments? I bought H4H in hopes of seeing a bad guy fruitlessly try to kill Otis.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Who's Otis?

 

[Manic]

Misty and Colleen's receptionist. He was introduced in 2006's Daughters of the Dragon miniseries. He's probably around 5 feet tall, wears a sweater-vest and glasses, and is impossible to hurt. Orka tried to beat him to death when they first met, and Otis just kept telling him he punches like a little girl.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ah. Why isn't he a field agent again?

 

[Manic]

He's not a fighter. The one time he went into the field, he was used to distract the bad guys by getting shot at.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, wouldn't that make him pretty effective in the field all by itself? Not a fighter? Hey, that's cool; don't fight. Just walk your unkillable ass around in front of the guys who are fighters.

 

[GNR]

anyone here reading Madame Mirage by Dini?

the first issue on Newsarama reads pretty well

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I started reading it, but it kind of felt like a more violent yet less engaging version of Catwoman. I dropped it after like the 3rd issue.

 

[GNR]

Would the fact that I've never read Catwoman help?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I guess? It feels like any gritty, urban superhero story, to be honest. Madame Mirage just happens to be hot and kill people.

 

[Anubis]

Plus, Dini is totally f**king her.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah. I wonder what his wife looks like in real life. She can't be as hot as Madame Mirage, right?

Right?

 

[Anubis]

She is Madame Mirage. Basically, the character was based on her. She's hot. Like 20's burlesque hot. Like, wtf is she doing with that guy hot. It's a testament to the fact that, yes, even slobish fat-asses can get hot chicks if the stars align right.
