Lets Talk Comics Vol. 12

 
This article covers recent news and trends in comics, as well as random topics that I just feel like discussing or making fun of.  Enjoy!
 








1 Rob Liefeld Retiring From Deadpool




Wow.  Tough day for fans of self-aggrandizing assholes who cannot write or draw, but take all the credit for both.









2 Senior Editor Explains How Marvel Editorial Works




In the last few years, Marvel has become an increasingly editor-driven publisher, so having an understanding of the editorial process can provide investors with important insights into which characters the publisher is planning to push.












3 DC Updating Joker’s Origin…Again
Please, just stop.  The more we know about the Joker’s origin, the less interesting he is.  Not everything needs to be explained, some things are just better in the imagination.  For an example, see the prequel and sequel trilogies.










4 Marvel Teases Another 2099 Relaunch
Because if at first, or at second , or at third , or a ninth time you don’t succeed, Marvel will try try again.












5 That X-Force Cover
I do not even need to make a joke here because the joke is already on you if parted with any money to buy this.










6 Madame Web Expected To Bomb At The Box Office
Sony is making a movie with exclusively insanely hot women in skintight outfits and they still cannot get people to care.  How can they be this bad at making movies?












7 Travis Kelce Is Getting A Comic
I know it cannot happen, but I really hope both teams lose this Sunday.  That being said, I will be rooting against the 49ers for the Chiefs.










8 1 In 4 Books Sold In France Are Comics
Amazing how popular a medium can be in a country when it isn’t pigeonholed to superhero tropes for decades












9 Pink Kryptonite
I want this in a movie and I want it in a movie now!










10 Sktchd is the G.O.A.T.
Sktchd is a comic book journalism website run by David Harper and it is phenomenal.  I truly cannot recommend it enough.  It unfortunately does have a paywall, but sometimes money is the price of quality.  He also hosts a free podcast called Off Panel, where he gets pretty great guests

Extremity
Daniel Warren Johnson pulls writing and art duty on this book and its phenomenal.  Johnson’s artistic vision is crystal clear and it shines through on every page.  Easily one of the best limited series I have read in a long while










A Retailer’s Perspective
A fascinating insight into the business aspect of comics.  I learnt a lot from this piece and I hope you get as much out of it as I did.
