Not a fan of the art style but this project seems to really suit him, somehow.

Well, it certainly looks and sounds nice in lotsa ways (accuracy, diversity, eye candy); I'll definitely check it out, but why did it have to be fencing of all sports? FYI I seriously hate the arbitrary artificial (time) rules in sport fencing. I mean, I understand why they aren't using (blunted) historical combat weapons, but it should at least somewhat resemble real fencing tactically.

One of the few comics without a black female character I'll be reading about it seems ...damn you Pacat.

I'm also glad it's about fencing since I recently learned that one of my mom's coworker has a child who does fencing which was a shock to hear considering the location we live in, and b/c it's out of the stereotypical sports so I'm interested.

Man, I didn't even like the first Destiny, but here I go putting in 12 hours on Destiny 2 on a work night. Guess I'm calling in. I normally hate playing shooters on a console, but I ended up leveling a code of protection Titan. All I do is run around the map punching the hell out of everything. Can't die unless my target has too much armor, or it explodes. Every day is the fist of July.

David Allene(?) The back guy from "The New X-Men" generation

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't have a problem with how that came to place in the story.

Granted, it's been a very long time since I first read it. But still, based off my memory (which isn't perfect by a long stretch), I thought it was fine.

And they did bring Night Thrasher back too (took a long time though)....but seeing what they plan on doing with him, he has a fate worse than Stamford.

What exactly are they planing on doing with Night Thrasher? After Contest of Champions ended, I haven't seen him in anything since that early Civil War anthology tie-in book, and as far as I know, he isn't going to be in anything upcoming.

I dunno. I'd be outright lying if I said I wasn't a little intrigued. (Trailer only shows so much, but it amused me how it aesthetically flip-flops between bougie and ghetto and genuinely classy and charming).

Also, the art style's fine with me. In fact, that's the one thing I unambiguously like about it.

I heard about this before, though, and I am less ambiguously looking forward to this. I really love the artwork.

I'm curious how the story is going to turn out. I wonder what the author means when they say they're playing up the "queer tension"? Like, will there'll be outright boyfriends, typical sports/battle anime and mange male-to-male tension, or both?

Good read is good. I'll need to finish it later, 'cause I need to get some sleep, but awesome read so far is awesome!

I really do like Coates. He's as beautiful with words as ever!

Yeah, the general consensus is that Destiny 2 is what Destiny should have been from the jump.

I'd play it but I can only deal with one MMO at a time and be a productive human.

I know Destiny 2 isn't marketed as an MMO but it certainly seems like one to me.

HAHA I'll be picking up the game tonight, but the key question is though, how is the storyline? That's what killed the first destiny game for me, it was like a FPS with rpg lite element while I was looking more for like a multiplayer mass effect moment. Is it more involved and deals with your character more like The Old Republic? Or is it more of the same rpg lite elements.

From what I have seen in the various trailers D2 seems to be like what I THINK WOW is like(never played it so I could be wrong about WOW).

There's an overarching storyline, but I don't think that your character is the lead hero, you are the guy that
gets stuff done for the main leader types.

Too busy playing Yakuza Kiwami, nothing is better than beating a guy's head in with a bike and than wandering into a swimsuit bar afterwards
