Comics Are Awesome! Great Moments in Sequential Storytelling (2020 - )

[Positronic Brain]

We all knew it was only a matter of time before this thread got resurrected - just like the heroes in my American comic books!

I've been reading Scooby Doo Team-Up! and you can tell the creative team had lots of fun with it. It's full of great moments like this one with Ace the Bat-Hound:

The series itself is lots of fun! It will have the Mystery Machine teaming up with The Legion in one issue, Atom Ant the next, then the Birds of Prey... Good stuff.

The Mystery Machine is alive?

And doing multiple team-ups?

 

[Positronic Brain]

Ack, sorry. I meant “Mystery Inc.”

Unless...

No “Scooby Doo/Transformers” team-up? We are living in the worst timeline.

Not yet.

A page from Journal with Witch that can only be described as "Minecraft seduction."

I remember back in the day, Colossus' sister being part of his backstory, needing to do something to help her...

Gotta say, turns out she was nothing like I'd imagined.

 

[Octopus Prime]

That she is not my favourite New Mutant says a lot about how much I like some of the other members of the team

Always love to see comics that make use of the medium. Reminds me of Imbattable.

I know, I know; posting Nancy comics is easy mode

It took me far too long to realize that THIS particular comic didn't have a right-to-left flow.

But more than anything it's blowing my mind at all the tiny visual details, like the multiple reaction signifiers in panel 4, that I had steadily grown accustomed to in manga and which I just absorb naturally now.

 

[Positronic Brain]

The comic doesn'tfflow as well because it was designed for a 3x2 grid instead of 2x3. The right panel order is 3,2,1,6,5,4 (although it also works as 1,2,3,4,6,5, nust not as well)

 

[Nich]

Yeah, one of the replies reformatted it so that the joke is preserved.

Ooh, that makes tons more sense.

...huh, I'm seeing some stuff floating around that Grant Morrison came out as nonbinary, but if so it seems a lil odd there's no mention on Teh Official Grant Morrison Website, so I'm not sure what to think.

It originated with a kind of offhand comment in this interview.

CBR did a followup on that offhand comment that is mostly just a summary of quotes from the interview, but it's written with them/them pronouns and includes an editorial note that seems to clear up any potential ambiguity.

CBR has contacted Grant Morrison and updated this story accordingly to include their preferred pronouns.

Who knows what the situation is around who runs and updates Grant Morrisons website, and whether or not Morrison cares about keeping the bio up to date, etc. Looking at the website, my guesses are "probably not Grant Morrison" and "not very much."

If you like that, there's a great sketch in that vein in I Think You Should Leave.

It’s how you separate a good friend from a dear friend

 

[Zef]

They may be friends but the symbiote won't take any crap from Eddie.

I just love Cap's resigned reaction.

Is everyone else able to see Fredde's pictures? They're not showing up for me (not even as broken images), but I've had an issue like this before.
