[CBR News]

BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT! Now in her own ongoing series!

I kind of miss Joelle Jones' art, but Chelsea Cain really has Bobbi's voice nailed down. I'm down to see Bobbi solve more mysteries.

[Ceebiro]

Tony really should learn to protect himself better.

[Hariel0079]

I've been anticipating this solo.

This reads great! Joelle Jones would be my preferred artist but other than a couple of panels were Bobbi looks like a life size Barbie doll I dig this art as well.

[Seren]

I am so on board for this it's not even funny.

And Chelsea Cain confirmed via Twitter that that is indeed Tony Stark and "you would think he'd know the symptoms by now"

Question that I'm putting here simply because I don't know where else to put it... (mods, feel free to move this post if it fits better somewhere else!)

So, this book had the option of "click here for comments" and its own thread. But, say, Black Knight #5 does not have that option. What determines whether or not a comic preview is granted its own accompanying discussion thread?

I think sometimes they just forget, or think it won't have any comments? The Agents of SHIELD book sometimes have a thread and sometimes it don't, so I guess is not exaclty that some books are just excluded.

I think sometimes they just forget,

hmmm, if that were the case, then they forget an awful lot! =P

or think it won't have any comments?

Shouldn't that not really be up to them to decide? Isn't the whole point of a forum that the people dictate what they are interested in commenting on? Seems they should either provide it for all or none. Or at least have it based on some algorithm of clicks on the preview. *shrug*

Right I've definitely experienced that too. Seems completely inconsistent. It's just puzzling and a little frustrating because sometimes I want to jump in and comment on something, and I expect that functionality, but it's not there. Sure, I could start my own thread, but it wouldn't have the built-in traffic of being linked to the preview.

Just seems like something CBR should think about improving! ^_^

I noticed that and am botheres by that too. Even some reviews don't get their own thread sometimes. It's quite silly.

[Seren]

We the nerdy did an advanced review and gave it a 9. Not bad out of the gate.

[Kurisu]

Wow, the art looks a lot better than it did in the unlettered preview. Might pick this up.

I see what you did there CBR! LOL!

The old YOU DEMANDED IT....when really it caught us all by surprise cause no one was...#1 tag line.

I'm going to give it a shot, buy at least issue #1, maybe 2 and I hope it's not going to play as a comedic title and those preview pages are just there for levity. That the title is going to be more action and dramatically focused.

Nah, the reason it caught most of us by surprise was because we're so used to Marvel treating Bobbi terribly in the comics that we didn't think that they'd actually ever give her an ongoing, even when the one-shot went to a second printing. We were asking for long enough...

[lilyinblue]

I can definitely say I demanded it... via Twitter, specifically.

This opening issue does have quite a bit of the comedy... but it's definitely an edgier/more adult humor than what you're seeing in some of the other 'funny' books. The opening issue is definitely a set-up piece - putting all of the pieces in play so that the action can explode next issue.
