Odds and Ends

Marvel movies in recent years are sucked too.

Hopefully the creative slump is eradicated… the B and C-list writers/artists are fired and the politics and gender/sexual identity shit is gone.

This is sad though. Marvel Comics was the last big comics publisher in New York City. DC moved to California in 2015. So much legacy is gone now…

Always had a soft spot for random crossovers :grinning:

They way they are going they will close up shop no matter where they move sooner than later.

And moving to Japan. I wonder what Japanese readers think about Akira Yoshida. :unamused:

I like zany crossovers too.

The Trojan Horse popcorn bucket for The Odessy is brilliant. So many of these popcorn buckets lately are a bit of a stretch in terms of why and where you would popcorn in them, but this one just makes sense and is spot on. Hope the movie is good.

The Odyssey has a 96% certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This beats Oppenheimer (93%), Memento (94%) and breaks Nolan’s record The Dark Knight (94%) :eyes:

I absolutely loved the movie. Saw it yesterday.
Sometimes a bit jagged, but it can be tough to deliver Homer.
And that’s the most minor of criticism I can muster

That’s one thing I miss from the 90s early 00s, there were so many intercompany crossovers on a regular basis. Not just “bad girl” or Indy characters but even Marvel/DC were pumping them out. Few and far between for the most part in today’s industry.

Liefeld’s getting a little frisky, apparently.

or he is trolling and that is exactly how the cover is coming out, with a big red stripe across the art.

I’m typically not a big Liefeld guy, but it’s actually not a bad cover. The logo is a trainwreck. Curious about what’s under the red stripe. :eyes:

There’s an auction house in Las Vegas that’s selling off a comic gallery’s art. Tons of nice, limited prints with COAs. Some signed by big names like Stan Lee. Starting bids are a little too high to get a GREAT deal compared to eBay prices, but still, probably good deals exist.

I saw this and thought it might be a hot one. Auction opening bid is $140, and the only 2 on ebay are $250. But, keep in mind, you have to pay a 23% auction fee on top of the $140, and shipping will not be cheap for these. It probably ends up close to $250 then.
