Now that the dust has settled, what do you think about the choice of the new writer and lineup for the new BoP book? I am quite disappointed by both choices, Thompson already wrote an all female book over Marvel with A-Force and it was horrible and possibly the best proof we have to know that the book is not going to be good its her work with Captain Marvel where half of the time that book was a girls team up book with all the female characters having the same personality
Well that lineup certainly is...a lineup? I already getting the feeling of an inorganic teamup of a gotham street level crime with some cosmic elements.
Is that one of the Wildcats characters?
Looks like Zealot.
>Is that one of the Wildcats characters?
Nah that's Katana. She bleached her hair and DNA.
Doesn't Barda kind of out-power everyone else there combined though?
Kinda, she can be inconsistent on durability and speed.
I mean I'm sure there will, it's just a little funny.
>Hey check out this new cool street level team we jave, it's Tim Drake teaming up with Casandra Cain, a rehabilitated Deathstroke and the Question to solve what crime lords are trying to get up to in Gotham!
Sounds cool! Who's that other guy on the chair?
>ohh I forgot to mention! Metron is on the team too, he'll just be chilling playing Zelda until we wrote ourselves into a corner and then he'll alter reality fir us.
The idea of Barda treating the whole thing as a vacation/girls night is pretty funny
Yeah I grant that, and she's my favorite character there by far so it is a glimmer of hope.
She’s the new “tough girl for bull dyke types” because gerads drew her as a titless hulk in mister miracle.
That's always been her look though. She's breasted, but they're not huge.
This is bait right?she looks like any other sexy kirby/buscema girl. This must be bait. She looks like a linebacker in OP
Thats That's what she's always looked like in her armor. He was saying Gerads drew her as less busty than normal when out of her armor, but she's never had a huge chest. If anything, Gerads is more busty at times.
Her waist is thin there, and her breasts massive (you have to be blind to think otherwise, they’re almost as big as her head so like Ds at least) and her face feminine aside from the helmet which gives her Kirby’s patented thing/darkseid/Mangog brow
Note I'm not comparing her to the OP pic (looks stupid) but to how Gerads drew her.
Finally a good artist ITT Christ
yeah exactly, absolutely fricking hideous. As if she’s Sarah huckabee sanders and gerads just draws his homosexual self as Scott.
She looks like an ugly version of the chubby chick from Strangers in Paradise.
It's kinda weird to wanna have some character based on a dude wife all sexy anyways and Roz wasn't really a looker.
>uhhhh moronic reasons why the picture I showed you was actually, not the example I was using, ummmm I mean, ummm
Shut up and stop trying to google some sort of reasoning to back your autistic point of view. Big Barda was never a linebacker or a butch chick. She was just tall and beautiful, a proper Amazon as opposed to the Amazon’s who aren’t notably tall in DC.
I'm not that other anon.
I don’t believe two people can possibly be trying to sell me on kirby’s barda being titless and mannish frankly but go off
Well I wasn't saying she titless or manlish but I just saying Barda never really looked sexy in those old comics, she looks rather normal, just tall.
Well she was meant to be a looker.
That’s just how Kirby draws anon. She has the same face as everyone in the fantastic four and everyone in challengers of the unknown and every other human-ish new god and on and on.
If sue is the most attractive woman in 616 then Barda is just as attractive just with dark hair and 2 feet taller and bigger boobs.
Yeah Kirby doesn't draw good women and never has.
First time I've seen someone find Kirby women hot.
You’re not understanding the difference between art style and intent. And it really just sounds like you haven’t read or discussed many comics.
I been reading comics since 2004 anon, I understand intent I was just saying....Jesus.
Beautifully meh.
Kelly your fat ass has no business calling anyone meh
This
Kirby draws women as well as he draws everything else. You being incapable of seeing that is on you, not the art.
Barda, Susan, Beautiful Dreamer, ect are all beautiful.
>That’s just how Kirby draws anon.
>It-it's b-bad on purpose
Ok shill
>I’ll say shill teehee
have a nice day
Umm idk Tim and NuJon cause gays are effeminate especially at DC
This. And every issue ends with gay sex in one room and lesbian sex in the other. And Scott’s a cuck sitting in the car waiting to pick barda up and take her for pancakes.
This leads into King’s mister Miracle and explains why Scott is so depressed he’s suicidal.
Are you moronic? She spends a lot of time out of armor looking like a voluptuous fricking model or actress. Like Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor just otherworldly proportionately large.
Being based on Roz more about her personality and actually I think visually Barda was based on Lainie Kazan.
>new writer
thompson is awful, so this book was already an instant pass for me.
>and lineup
the line-up is one of the worst and dc really doesn't understand that nobody that likes bop wants it to be a generic team book. bop is barbara and dinah. some other characters can tag along from time to time, but without those two the book is dead in the water.
>some other characters can tag along from time to time
No, Huntress and Zinda. It should just be Barbara, Dinah, Huntress, and Zinda. Nobody else. Characters can guest star for a story but the actual core roster should never go beyond those four.
>It should just be Barbara, Dinah, Huntress, and Zinda
huntress and zinda ARE tag alongs, anon. they served their purpose in their original runs and don't need to come back.
10 bux says only Harley and Dinah get any real dialog and the middle three are just muscle while Dinah and Harley have White Woman problems
And of course fricking Harley is in it.
It would be way cooler if Harley wasn't there. She is poison and will no doubt get triple screen time anyone else does to be LOL WACKY!
This will go down as the Justice League Detroit of the Birds of Prey. Why is Harley Quinn on a superhero team?
Harley Quinn will never be a superhero (or a good character), no matter how hard they try to delude themselves.
Will the artist actually remember to draw them at different heights or just draw them same height but Barda?
Two on the right have been imposed by editorial.
People seem mad at Zealot being there but she such an nothing character that I have no strong opinion, is kinda odd team has 3 extremely serious characters on it though like how you gonna write them without it getting kinda same? I mean Barda can be bit lighter I guess and so can Cass but still gonna be hard to pull off unless you write them as completely different characters (which the writer will most likely do.)
Zealot is "serious combat girl" and is thus completely redundant on a team with both Cass and Barda.
Line up is is bad but the art is worse. And I normally like Romero. He just made everyone ugly and dykish here which feels like it was requested.
The writing will be abhorrent because it’s Thompson and she didn’t even expect blowback for not having Helena.
This looks awful in every way
>bad art
>bad costumes
>nonsensical lineup
>bad writer
Just another sign that DC is a walking corpse at this point.
Harley haters are so obsessed. She's there to help sell your book. Be thankful.
Look at it this way, her being there means they don't ge my copy sold.
>She's there to help sell your book
her own book's sales are in the toilet.
I'm not going to read a comic that Kelly Thompson writes, I don't even think Kelly Thompson is a real person.
Imagine the lesbian orgy
I have nothing to add except it's cool to see Bachalo drawing DC characters, he's low-key one of the modern greats imo
forgot the dang image
His current style ehhh
This looks atrocious.
This, wtf, give me Jason Fabok or something
Nah he’s just a Jim Lee wannabe and who tf wants to be Jim Lee?
Still better that the shit in the OP, because he FRICKING DRAWS breasts.
Not so much the problem as curves and feminine figures. Not all characters need massive mammaries.
i was wondring why they were sitting next to bags of trash until i saw the eye
He's stylish but all he does is reusing his old drawings over and over, why do you think he's anywhere near great?
Because I enjoy the way his art looks? It's not rocket science. And the first part of your sentence is legitimately moronic.
>one of the modern greats
Bachalo hasn't been a good artist since whenever the frick he changed up his art style during the latter part of his run on Generation X. He was outright horrid for most of the 2000s where his pages were completely incomprehensible and now his stuff just looks like a lazy, low effort cross between his Death/early Gen X style and his late Gen X style.
>dang
Begone shill
>shill
Kill....yourself
Oooooo the shill can be edgy.
>edgy.
>Who cares homosexual? Go shill this shit on Twitter where your paying customers totally are. Oh wait even they think this shit looks awful.
...
>whataboutism
I never said anon wasn’t you whiny homosexual
i agree. hes one of my favorites, but i can see why hes not everyones cup of tea
>No Babs
>No Huntress
>No dimes
cancelled in less then 15 issues
also don't care. every modern comic is the same woke shit so no reason to get angry about one in particular
>cleavage censored once again
woke
Zinda bros........this was our one chance.
On the one hand I'm annoyed because Zinda was my favorite BoP character and she hasn't been in a comic since before Flashpoint. On the other hand I'm relieved because Zinda is my favorite BoP character and her not being used means I don't have to see her being written into the ground by shit writers like Kelly Thompson.
An comic book about women, cringe and woke garbage.
Terrible line up, terrible art, terrible writer, will die in 10-12 issues. Most writers have no idea how to actually construct a team and think that if they just pull character names out of a hat, give them stock personalities, and have them argue and/or frick then that's how you do it.
Thompson said the lineup will change after the first storyarc
Looks like it's going to be Dinah and a rotating cast of female heroes depending on the mission
>Thompson said the lineup will change after the first storyarc
Then why do this whole countdown thing to reveal a team that's not even going to be the same five issues later?
Who cares homosexual? Go shill this shit on Twitter where your paying customers totally are. Oh wait even they think this shit looks awful.
>implying this comic will last longer than 1 6-issue arc
lol
Like frick if you wanted to include a Wildstorm character why not Roxy who doesn't overlap with an already filled power/combat role and whose character would pair up well with a lot of the others in various ways.
Give the book a chance before you b***h about it.
If Kelly posts a nude selfie I’ll add it to my pull tomorrow. No weak shit full spread.
Haha! I love to COOOOOOOM
Kelly is not a real person
…Go on. I heard this about the Justin gray dude who co-wrote power girl.
Find me a single picture of her at a convention or in an on camera interview, it does not exist, the only evidence of her is two close cropped photos of a fat face with cleavage
Different anon, I can only find audio interviews too. Though it would be weird to just hire a person to do interviews. Idk.
If they are just using shell names I wish they’d hire my ass. I may talk a lot of shit but I’d work for peanuts as a ghost writer lol
It's not going to fly for long, I can't see how.
I never read the OG BoP but I'm going to assume it ran on fanservice, boobies and street level Gotham, and that's already two things that can't fly in the '23 relaunch.
Except Dinah (and even then, I'm sure she's probably going to be a better character in Green Arrow) none of the characters here needs to be in that team.
>Cass being already another Batfam character popping up everywhere
>Big Barda because????
>more Harley because she's mainstream now
>DC trying to push again Wildstorm characters. I don't mind but Zealot would have been a better fit, with her OG costume, in the OG BoP
but I'm sure DC is seeing the early ending coming because they know who to assign on covers and variant covers duty to justify the existence of the book.
also, imagine making a BoP comic after the movie flopped, normies remember that kind of stuff.
Since DC doesnt allow the use of Babs and Helena in a BoP due to whatever stupid editorial decision who would have been your picks to be with Dinah in this relaunch?
yeah, it need to look less artsy more meh!
c'mon
make it look like shit DC!
I'm making all these characters but Zealot because she has not bot and too lazy to make one talk in AI lol.
