>This has been in the works for a long time. But I understand that Jonathan Hickman, who has been working on creator-owned comics since he left Marvel Comics at the end of Secret Wars, has has been in talks with DC Comics. The nature of which has been a long time in the agreeing, but I understand whatever it would be would not be an exclusive deal, leaving Jonathan Hickman open to work on other work-for-hire projects. That could include Marvel.
>As it stands, DC Comics asked Hickman to pitch several things and he has. They have made him an offer. He has yet to accept. But the decision for the man who shepherded Hickman into Marvel Comics from Image Comics, Brian Bendis, to join DC Comics does feel like the fates aligning.
>What the chosen project will be, if he chooses to choose a project at DC, I don’t know. Hickman has a reputation at Marvel for long-planned plotlines that crossed one comic to another taking characters and concepts with them – not dissimilar to what Geoff Johns set up for the Superman comics. Could something similar be planned?
>hickman accepts the offer, solely for the chance to make bendis cry
Jackson Collins
>trying to get yet another big name
They can't keep getting away with it
I did think him being at that DC panel at, I think, NYCC was more than nothing.
Caleb Scott
Now, all DC needs is Remender
Landon Flores
Someone at DC better make Bendis cry.
Sebastian Nelson
>It's happening AGAIN I will literally die of laughter if Hickman goes over to DC just to be with Bendis again
Thomas Diaz
What will be DC's Shield?
Bentley Fisher
>Remender >Writer of AXIS Nah, senpai.
Bentley Peterson
>Bendis >Writer of Civil War 2 nah, se- oh wait
Jason Foster
kek
Isaiah Wilson
> Martian Manhunter Intensifies...
Hudson White
axis was no worse than METAL
Jaxon Campbell
AXIS was way worse than "Meta"l.
Like, way worse.
Matthew Gomez
Post your ideal guy to make Bendis cry. I'm between Priest and Morrison.
Aiden Adams
axis gave us some good character moments stuff like metal only has given us cringe so far
Matthew Howard
>faggots ignoring the good things we got out of Axis like Good Guy Carnage.
Mason Peterson
Hopefully everyone Preferrably one of the ladies. Imagine Simone giving Bendis shit
Lincoln Mitchell
Imagine a crossover between Bendis and Priest. Imagine those two having a discussion about comics.
Jack Powell
Priest would murder him before it's over
Eli James
I don't think she really works there anymore. Clean Room was cancelled, and she only has a Image book going right now
Kevin Sanders
Priest would bust a cap on that nigga, then perform an exorcism no his corpse, so Bendis' shit taste doesn't infect the company from beyond the grave.
Owen Campbell
bendis is literally afraid of being seen disagreeing with a black man
Dominic Gomez
But he's also an idiot
Jonathan Nguyen
now imagine Bendis at DC chad gym
Nathan Ramirez
So... JSA? Or Legion? Or post-Jurgens Supes?
Michael Morgan
Legion was made for his addiction to organization
Leo Adams
They've had 30-40 members at time, you wouldn't be able to find him under all the charts he would have to make to deal with them.
Aiden Thomas
I'm one or two degrees removed from some of Hickman's artists, and what I've consistently heard is that "Promise me LOSH, and we'll talk" has been his position. If they're close to a deal, there's no way they didn't give it to him.
Asher Thomas
he's already slimmed down so the transition to full DChad shouldn't be too difficult
>JSA Shut your whore mouth. He can fuck legion for all I care, it's in the future so it has less chances of fucking the continuity and current stories and also, I don't care about it so much. But damnit, Dr Fate powered return of the JSA is a dream of mine and I don't trust him to handle it.
Nathaniel Smith
>well be fine Worked out well for Lemmy right?
Hudson Jackson
>Waid
Landon Lewis
Seems like you need Bendis in your life
Zachary Ward
Okay, now I REALLY want Bendis and Hickman to revive Checkmate
Elijah Davis
>Zub >Waid
>the absolute state of Marvel
Jonathan White
Him and Bendis are gonna "balance" the DCU out of batmanwank that has been going on since morrison. JSA will be given to him simultaneusly with legion
Christian Jackson
>Based Bendis doing it again
Evan Hernandez
>DC >Detective Comics >Best selling, most popular character, also a detective There's no such thing as "batwank". It's just truth.
He doesn't even have apologists fans like Bendis does.
Ryan Harris
Will Hickman be /fit/ as well by the time he gets to DC?
Thomas Morales
DROWN IN HOBO PISS
Gavin Reyes
yeah thats actually why remender wont go to DC benis hates him
Lucas Butler
You mean the writer of Black Science, Seven to Eternity, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Force, and Low?
Henry Brooks
all bendis needs is some hair
Nathan Nguyen
Metal has a lot more mood & suspenseful build up and the evil batman have a lot more thought put into them then the Inverted Axis heroes especially the sad hulk monster thing.
Jeremiah Allen
>Making offers for Hickman
Why? Has he written ANYTHING worth reading?
Hunter Reyes
metal is a joke
Gavin Bailey
This cape comic not intellectual enough for you?
Cooper Lee
almost everything he's written, yeah
Robert Brooks
are you lost, Sup Forums?
Charles Thomas
based Bemis, Brisson and Cates saving superhero comics DC has Jurgens and Snyder's gay friends
Daniel Davis
its a goldmine of cringy bits
Elijah Smith
>blaming the writer for a shitty Marvel event Never go full retard, user. Marvel events are shitty no matter who's writing them.
Hudson Moore
Well, I picked up his Secret Wars which was rough as hell, and his Image book EAST of WEST which reads like Akira fanfiction.
Joseph Reyes
>Brisson and Cates going the way of Aaron and Remender Sad.
I'll take that as a yes.
Gavin Johnson
Age of Apocalypse is the only good cape event ever though
Robert Walker
You mean COIE
Logan Johnson
Snyder is intentionally campy, though.
Jason Wright
lol
Connor Perez
You're both misspelling Final Crisis
Joshua Myers
Superman Beyond 3D is the only rereadable part of FC to me.
Parker Martinez
>I meant to sound stupid
Joseph Mitchell
they are misspelling Flashpoint
Jace Jones
Says the butthurt marvelfag.
Lincoln Hill
now THIS is just shitposting
Jayden Williams
I've always read his books expecting silly, over-the-top elements to be read half-way between the tone of TAS and Silver-Age Batman with a sprinkle of grimdark. Maybe I'm wrong. It just seems intentional to me.
Zachary James
>grimdark found the underage kid
Xavier Gonzalez
...
Gavin Morales
>no caps >no punctuation >the others are underage kids
Jack Moore
I do not want to see Hickman at DC. He is a writer that appeals to Marvel readers only.
When he writes the edgelord Namor destroying a DC Earth, he is aiming at the kind of reader who will masturbate to this scene while thinking" Look how awesome Namor is! Fuck DC!".
His stories also have things that only fly in the Marvel universe, like "list of smartest people" and such.
Hudson Anderson
>era of autocorrect >punctuation meaning anything
Oliver Wood
>it means nothing because I'm too stupid to learn it American, right?
William Gomez
why do you pretend you read comics?
Cameron Flores
I'm going on 30. I've never actually said your opinion on the book is wrong, man. I don't mean to offend you. I just interpreted those elements a bit differently. Maybe it's because I came to METAL after reading Snyder's All-Star Batman, which is clearly meant to be ridiculous. I don't want you to think I'm just trying to hate on you, I understand how somebody would dislike METAL.
Christian Reed
i love how batfags need to make any argument about "how things are intentionally retarded" and as a last resort, grammar and punctuation
Ayden Carter
>taking the bait user, I don't know how new/old you are but every post without caps or punctuation must be ignored, always. See?
Josiah Mitchell
"Metal" IS better than AXIS.
It's a fact, deal with that.
Wyatt Ramirez
metal is cavengers-tier at best
Jaxon Peterson
>user, I don't know how new/old you are but every post without caps or punctuation must be ignored, always. 2007. I just hate writing people off.
Sebastian Perez
I'm not pretending.
Here another example. Dr. Strange wrecking Timothy Hunter + Dr. Fate and lecturing him on magic. Only Marvel readers would find this awesome.
Kayden Miller
Back to your containment board Quesada.
Connor Brooks
at last something good could come out of cavengers. Metal is 100% batwank and nothing about it will matter or be mentioned ever again by other writers once the event is done
you are taking a panel out of context. read the actual comic, that was not an awesome moment, but the point where dr strange lost his way for good. he went on to become a mass genocidal cultist after that
Chase Long
>Only Marvel readers would find this awesome. Only people don't read comics would thing so.
William Cooper
>Legion of Super-Heroes will go to Orlando, Bendis, or Hickman Fucking kill me
William Robinson
Please be Legion of Superheroes
Kayden Martin
i wonder if he left because he couldn't use shield
Carson Fisher
Namor being cocky while impaling a Martian Manhunter pastiche.
The guy ended up dying and Namor destroyed the planet he protected. Marvel fans spent months talking about how awesome Namor was on those issues.
Again, it only works with Marvel readers.
Colton Price
I don't really know if you can call him 'at DC', but this lifeless old goblin would be a good one.
Carson Cooper
He's dc enough. And yeah, I saw a talk with him and a few others on bats. The man can dish.
David Sanchez
>nothing about it will matter or be mentioned ever again by other writers once the event is done Why is this bad?
Lincoln Edwards
namor had -misguided- reasons to act like he is doing, and its not the worst thing he did before getting what was coming to him
again, only people who dont read comics would think namor was being "awesome", instead of crazy. i guess you are projecting hard
Logan Cox
I imagine Bendis hates Miller's guts because of Holy Terror though.
>tfw Bendis probably hasn't even read Year One or DKR
