>>146805949ill give it a bump
>>146805992new god pee glows?
>>146806011that was certainly a book really not sure what to think about it Art was overall decent but rather inconsistent in style
>>146805949Bump
Hickman KINO cancelled. V KINO is my only hope.
>>146805948Apparently this title is meant to connect with both the Absolute Universe and with the mainline one
>>146805992Didn't Scott and Barda have a boy in the miniseries? So I guess that was non-canon/retconned?>>146806440Aren't there only supposed to be one set of New Gods? Have they gone back on this already, or are the editors just inept?
>>146806583>Didn't Scott and Barda have a boy in the miniseries? So I guess that was non-canon/retconned?I think V said that King and Gerards' maxi was non-canon or that he wasn't allowed to reference it (or something along those lines)>Aren't there only supposed to be one set of New Gods? Have they gone back on this already, or are the editors just inept?That's how it's meant to be with New Genesis and Apokolips being located in the Sphere of the Gods and it's how the New Gods are able to interact with the Absolute Universe
>>146806011Dang bro that was good, art was amazing.
>>146805962Anyone's got any idea of how to decipher the alphabet?>>146806583It connects them precisely because the New Gods exist outside the universes. That's what Highfather is looking at here >>146805969
Oh and speaking of multiverse stuff, guess who is confirmed to be making a return?
>>146806583That miniseries ended with the implication that Scott was trapped in an anti life alternate reality>>146806011The baby's design reminds me of Metron's fifth world chrome appearance from Final Crisis
>>146806008>Mr LordAs in Max? He's not an usual proxy of the evil gods
>>146806008>>146806967My hope of Max Lord's character assassination ever being undone remains dead
>>146806986His face is shadowed, maybe its not Max.
And this was good. /co/ loses again.

>>146807307Sorry nigga
>>146807319>changes the file name proving he’s on desktop>literally takes more time to change a file name than alter the HTML >thinks this proves a thing
>>146807328Fuck are you talking about, it takes less than 5 seconds to change the filename with 4chanX
>>146807359It takes 4 seconds to open the HTML of a page
meh
>>146806001Is he just supposed to stay on the run forever? This doesn't seem very well thought out.
>>146806008Is this the first time Scott and Max will have been in a book together since Max became a villain?>>146806986At least he's wearing a suit again
>>146807117nope, it's Max, V just confirmed it on twitter
I don't "get" it.
Is this going to be another character assassination plot for Orion?
>>146805949What is this shit?
>>146808394not as much as King would do at least but I don't think he going to be the protagonist of this book
>>146806008Finally tieing up loose ends from Legends, I see. That much is cool.>>146806011This is just retarded, though.>>146806005And this should be Gaza.
>>146806967>>146806986Non-readers don't know Max's origin story...
>>146805949bump
>>146806348You're fucked then. Ram V sucks ass.
>>146808481>this should be Gaza.Ram V being Indian likes using India as a location in his stories
>>146805949>AmaxazuWho?>>146805969>Doom-CrowW-what?
>>146806583>So I guess that was non-canon/retconned?The best thing to do with Tom King's garbage is ignore it.
>>146808670One of Gandalf's nicknames was "Storm Crow" (it was an Odin reference). Maybe it's supposed to be a nod to that?
>>146808429>>146808394Orion and Scott are the MC's, I think he's gonna be okay after Azarello and King
>>146805949Wonder if V will allude to PKJ's Olgrun and other gods of the first world.
>>146808670I'm guessing Amaxuzu is an Old God that survived given that Ram wants to do something with them that isn't just Marvel Thor and Co
>>146806583Did everyone forget TOm Kings MM was in the Black Label? BL stuff is its own little miniseries, not mainstream comic compliant.
>>146808865The whole Federicci segment teases look so cool.
>>146808670It's just a poetic way of saying he's bearer of bad news
Bump
>>146805949Mr Bloom reference?
>>146805962I am getting Hickman vibes
>>146805953>>146805949So from I gather, Amaxazu was the Old Gods equivalent of Metron and this is actually Metron witnessing Ragnarok via her story in the Source
>>146808669But who the fuck are the gun people supposed to be? It's a displaced Israeli/Palestinian narrative.
>>146805949Thanks Anon.
6/10, I'm here only for the based Orion.
The helmet design for Orion looks weird. It might look better without the two projections at the bottom.
>>146805948is it good?
I wonder if Shilo will show up. I know he had that mini a couple years ago but as far as I can tell its non-canon?
>>146805988>Orion as the protagonist again It's been so long. Also from now on I read his dialogue in that raspy Ben Diskin voice from Young Justice. It just seems fitting.
>>146813294I liked it. It's better than pretty much every attempt to do something with the New Gods in years and years.
>>146808591No I do- no he doesn't fuck you anon
>>146806780Looks cool as fuck in Federicci's artstyle.
>>146806004I was worried they'd gone and made Orion into a pretty-boy.This tragic hero/reluctant villain thing they've set up seems interesting. I hope this book does Orion and his friendship with Lightray justice. Even if it ends up a dud overall, it'll be alright by me if it can do that when no one after Kirby could or wanted to.
>>146813989Is he also autistic like the YJ version?
>>146815119Isn't he always
>>146805957>Himon This guy was a prisioner on Apokolips when we last saw him in the All In special. Hopefully Ram picks up from that point. Also Kalibak is dead but nobody cares about him.
>>146806780Ahhh... the Dread Ummamrod.
>>146813989The voice Ron Perlman gave him in Justice League Unlimited fit him really well too.
>>146815795Did Grayven and Grail make it or are they dead along with Kalibak?
reading bump
>>146813621The one that was a part of Seven Soldiers? It all fit in with Final Crisis somehow, although Im not entirely sure how.
>>146805949>Literal first page of the first issue of a new run>IMMEDIATELY jobs>Merely to the backlash of Darkseid's fucking deathFucking kek. That's a new world record to other 4th World characters jobbing to Darkseid.
>>146816751Nta but nope, Darkseid at first dismissed the rest of his family and told them to fuck off while shooting Omega Beams that hit absolutely none of them, which is probably the closest he can come to showing mercy but Kalibak insisted on staying.Darkseid then proceded to murk Kalibak and thank him, because he needed more of his own blood to finish binding a Motherbox to his personal use again implying he was in a roundabout way prepared to sacrifice all of his own but spare his family from being bloodbags. Including Desaad and Granny Goodness, who have apparently been around long enough they count as family. Aww!But yeah, Grail is effectively immortal because she is both a 4th World villain AND a Wonder Woman villain. Having a foot in two different solos as a villain is basically a lesser version of Joker immortality, you're too plot relevant to easily kill off without the writers coordinating to ensure someone can backend their stories with "This event took place before issue #X of (some other run)" to avoid characters being alive and dead at the same time.
>>146805964>He seems so weary these daysYeah, going through all of the New 52, unceremoniously being murked by Perpetua rolling over in her sleep, and unceremoniously being murked by Darkseid TWICE will do that to a man.
>>146805998>>146805989>Orion is tasked to go to Earth and kill a baby for some sort of nebulous greater good>againsightime is a flat circle
>>146806583King's Mister Miracle is1. Black Label (so, it's own thing)2. Unsubtly implied to be an Omega Sanction-generated humiliation ritual-reality2a. It's a miracle (no pun intended) Darkseid didn't make his wife fuck Superman like Sleez again.>>146806780Please just let him stay away, bro has suffered enough from catching the DC mindrot.>>146808394On the one hand, as I said it's fucking amazing that after everything DC STILL wants to do "Orion must kill this baby! MORAL AMBIGUITY!" all over again.On the other hand, I mean...this is much better than the last time it happened? Orion looks and acts visibly disgusted and saddened by the whole business. It's bizarre he's going through it at all but I guess he's doing a Kalibak and can't bring himself to make Highfather disappointed even though he knows it's wrong. Also being peed on is one of the less degrading things to happen to Mr. Miracle recently given he is at least allowed to have a little happy family that isn't an Omega Sanction mindfuck.My gut tells me Orion will actually be better served this time round, simply because the opening few pages seem to show for all his faults Ram V at least is trying to engage with the New Gods as a franchise. My brain stares at the long, painful, degrading history of the New Gods since Simonson's Orion run up to now, and simply foretells doom as a statistical inevitability.
>>146813294What >>146814110 said. I have absolutely no faith it will be good but that is in no way the comic's fault, that is the fault of DC since a little before Death of the New Gods just chucking shit like Batman cucking Orion to look cooler or the Female Furies being occasionally portrayed as street level. If I never read a goddamn New Gods comic in my life I would say this is honestly a great fucking start. But I have. I've read all of them. So I know better than to have any hope-especially with the knowledge about All-In that Darkseid DOES intend to return once he's finished his latest powerup in the Elseworld and so therefore whatever Highfather is doing is both pointless as well as cruel.
>>146806696>Have they gone back on this already, or are the editors just inept?I'm not up to date on what the writers have said about this comic in interviews, but based on this page from All-In I have a sinking feeling DC is seriously considering making Darkseid the ONLY New God who works like how ALL New Gods are supposed to inherently.
>>146817560Nah there was another one in the last 4 years that was all about racism
>>146806780>useless lava dudeKinooI will be reading
>>146808591it is weird that when he paired with another writer (like Al Ewing or Dan Waters) Ram V stuff is the weaker of the pair
>>146817887I cannot find anything about this comic lol.
>>146818101I vaguely remember the one he’s talking about. It’s not even a main title, it’s one of those back issue stories shoved behind a main story around the same time DC was hiding Justice League Dark continuations behind Bendisman issues presumably to try to tempt people into reading that slop.
>>146806760The text in the middle is a cipher of the english text on the peripheral, starting at the center of the circle and spiraling outwards. If you were to flatten it out it would serve as a decent Rosetta Stone that is only missing a few letters.I'm not autistic enough to do that work but if one were it wouldn't be too hard.
>>146818025I think in Venom's case its just that he got stuck with the boring half of the story
>>146810484There isn't enough to go off of to tell that this would be better served by being Gaza, or that this would be narratively benefitted by using Palestinians. Let's wait at least an issue or two to see where this is going.At the very least, putting it in Gaza would make it much more difficult to portray a family plausibly escaping being hunted down by whoever these gun people are supposed to be. There are no trains going out of Gaza - it's been locked down for over a decade. That's a major part of why the holocaust there is so all-encompassing.
>>146818279idk if the Dylan stuff was given to a writer who had a good grasp of Street Level characters I think it could have worked better even Ram V tec run is hardly what I would call "streetlevel"
>>146808955>Did everyone forget TOm Kings MM was in the Black Label?>>146817770>King's Mister Miracle is>1. Black Label (so, it's own thing)Uh... no it isn't. The first issue predated the launch of Black Label by a year, and as far as I can tell it's not even been rebranded as such in any collection to date.
>>146805962FUCK YOUR CHARTS, TONY!
>>146805988oh, I am enjoying this look
>>146805948NeatThanks for the storytime
Solid premise, lets see where this gies
