I’ve never ever read anything to do with Guardians of the Galaxy. Am I missing out?

Brian Michael Bendis, everyone. <x>

Man of Steel Trailer #3 <x>

I’m sure someone will turn this moment into some fantastic gif set but until then here’s my talentless contribution.


TWIST: Apple Didn&#8217;t Ban &#8216;Saga&#8217; #12 from App Store, ComiXology Never Submitted It

Relax people, it turns out the men in suits won&#8217;t be censoring your man-on-man cumshot imagery just yet. &lt;x&gt;

Apple refuse to sell the most recent issue of Saga due to imagery of same-gender sex

“Fiona and I could always edit the images in question, but everything we put into the book is there to advance our story, not (just) to shock or titillate, so we’re not changing shit” - Brian K. Vaughan

I don&#8217;t buy comics through Apple but this is still pretty fucking stupid. It&#8217;s a few panels the size of postage stamps and there&#8217;s been far more graphic stuff so far in the series.

&#8220;He was the man of tomorrow&#8230; until tomorrow passed him by. Of all our players, Superman is the one who has changed the least over the years. Unfortunately, the world around him has changed outrageously. Shunned by a public that has instead grown enamored with the more savage, bloodthirsty, chrome-suited avengers of tomorrow, Superman is completely mystified as to what his role in society should be. He&#8217;s never lost his sense of decency, but he has no idea how to apply it in a world so seemingly disinterested in decency - the world he saw through wide open eyes the day Magog was acquitted of cold-blooded murder.









&#8220;Complicating matters, the Man of Steel has, over the years, lost most of his touchstones to normality - Ma and Pa, Lois, and his other human friends - and as a result has retreated further and further from humanity, taking the Fortress of Solitude as his true and fitting home. The events that drive our story give him the chance to take up the Never-Ending Battle once more while casting him in a new, unfamiliar, and drastically uncomfortable light - that of a world leader.&#8221;

&#8220;She is much the same character she has always been - but she is coping (not well) with the realization that she has not well served her gods-given mission as an ambassador and teacher of peace but as an Amazon warrior. As our crisis builds, she will naturally seek deliverance through military strategy and final combat.&#8221;
