DRAGON AGE: WRAITHS OF TEVINTER

I might piss off the Academy X crowd with this one, but what exactly did they see in the character of Surge? I just don’t see the character’s appeal, especially considering how blatantly racist & Islamophobic she was towards her fellow teammate/roommate Dust in the series’ opening arc…

Also, can I just say that even without having read this series myself, I’ve personally always HATED the official title of the book, “New X-Men,” and instead just refer to it as “Academy X” since I personally associate New X-Men with Grant Morrison’s classic run. Seriously, Marvel needs to buy a FREAKING thesaurus for the titles of their books!

New X-Men: Academy X Yearbook #1 (2005)

Looking at this page again and how we were already asking ourselves even before this comic came out, how in the world the next protagonist is going to stand a chance against Solas with all these god like powers...

But when I first saw THIS panel then, it really made me think "Ok, how the hell is our next protagonist going to do literally ANYTHING without Solas already knowing and being three steps ahead of us, when he can watch us from practically anywhere?"

...Until Nunzio DeFilippis (one of the comic's creators) explained in an interview how, by their logic (note not BioWare’s), Solas can only overlook an area within a certain radius of where another eluvian is located. So I was glad to hear that there seem to be at least some limits to this. 😂

But still, it made me picture what it would look like if he ever used the eluvian in such a way in DA4...

Like, I imagine something similar to these transitional "intermission" scenes in DA2, where it would take you out of gameplay to a cutscene with Varric telling Hawke's story to Cassandra, but instead it would be the DA4 protagonist doing whatever and then every once in a while, the camera slowly zooms out from gameplay perspective to an eluvian's surface, and finally to Solas watching us through the mirror and him going "Ah, so that's where you’re going?"

Like, it would be kinda creepy, but I think it's just so funny to imagine Solas watching us doing some super ridiculous dumb shit or just one random side quest after another, like getting another lost druffalo to its owner or something and Solas - the man who secretly wants you to find a way to prove him wrong SO badly - just sighing in frustration "And that's the guy they chose to stop me?" lmaoo

Hi there!!! What would you recommend as some of of your favorite minis/shorter runs/books (really anything under 50 issues) for either dc or marvel? I'm fairly new at getting into comics and have found myself getting worn out with the longer books I've been reading, so I'd love some ideas for (relatively) shorter comics to get my energy back up and showcase some of the bright points of the medium i may not have seen yet. I have a decent understanding of the events and players of the DC universe, but not as much so with Marvel (I've read like. 2.5 books and a mini there) so DC would likely be my preference, but I'm interested in hearing about your faves for both

Thank you for asking! I always love helping people out here. These are 5 amazing, sub-50 issue runs which are new reader friendly from each company.

DC:

1. Kelley Puckett's Batgirl (37 issues + 1 Annual)

2. Mark Waid's Impulse (27 Issues)

3. New Super-Man (24 issues)

4. Humphries' Green Lanterns (31 issues + 1 Annual)

5. Devin Grayson's The Titans (20 issues)

MARVEL:

1. The Unbelievable Gwenpool (25 issues)

2. Unstoppable Wasp (18 issues across two volumes)

3. Eve Ewing's Ironheart (12 issues)

4. Brian K Vaughan's Runaways (48 issues spread across two volumes)

5. Christina Weir and Nunzio DeFilippis' New Mutants (12 issues, read this if you'd like to begin going down the endless rabbit hole that are X-Men comics)

DRAGON AGE: WRAITHS OF TEVINTER

Today's Chores, Homework, and Fortnite comic book recommendation is New Mutants (2003) by Christina Weir, Nunzio Defilippis, and Mark Robinson

Do I really even want Duggan’s version of the iconic title of “new x-men”…. 🤔🤔🤔

I’m beyond privileged to have interviewed the amazingly talented and kind Dragon Age Comic Writers Nunzio DeFilippis & Christina Weir. @weirdefilippis We spent an hour and a half chatting about their incredible comic run. The lore, insights and secrets they revealed are mind-blowing and thirst-quenching! They shared: cut plotlines involving Valena, Sigrun, Calix & Fen’Harel himself, a pitched Lily & Jowan mini-series titled: ‘Blood Lily’, BioWare’s *chef’s kiss* response, how Autumn is doing, how to properly say “Vaea”, their favourite Taylor Swift songs, fandom opinions, hypothetical future mini-series plot directions, major spoilers on Dark Fortress, alternative story beats, BioWare’s involvement, the creative process, proposed comic pitches, excitement for the next game and so so much more! It was an absolute pleasure to speak to the pair and geek out about Dragon Age with them. Content like this is what I created my channel for! You can watch the full interview on YouTube or listen on the go!
