Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 12hYeah I feel like it’s been so successful they have to be careful to try limit any cracks (though I already think they have a few ok to weak titles). 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 12hYeah his name gets thrown around quite a lot feels like he’s next. I guess it’s finding the right take to make the same sort of impact. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 12hI think it’ll just be a taste and move on and save more for later. They’re in this for the long-game now. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 12hIt’ll be interesting - the downside to Absolute being this phenomenon is you can’t really drop the ball and the first team-up comes with a lot of expectation. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If have that printed out on the wall as a constant reminder of how far we’d fallen. A regular issue of ASM used to top the chart… 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Potentially good synergy with the show given all the older Hal love. 010
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think there’s a few stories being published, but I guess with Absolute they feel they don’t need it. 020
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You’re right, but the DC compact edition success shows it’s probably one reason. 010
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026How’d you know? I went on new movies and it wasn’t there. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yikes. I’ll try them later today but I already feel like I probs won’t stick around and that this isn’t the next Absolute. 120
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It’s not even like he left on a high, by the last two films the buzz was gone. Such a step backwards. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It not being on switch 2 is all that’s stopped me. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It really was right time/place for him finding success. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yeah, for sure. And tbh my other concern going in is that it’s quite a lot to wrap up in less than an hour. 010
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Marvel just don’t stories like DC does to suit this format. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In podcasts McBride basically confirmed it’d have actors from his tv work and so my hope/suspicion was Cooper and Goggins. 001
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I love the way they teasing it out. I feel like that’s a dying part of the marketing for comics. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I’m going in having not seen that either, I feel like it’s ‘trilogy’ in the loosest terms. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yeah the marketing, creative talent and effort was far beyond what Marvel has done and readers showed up. It took 60+ years to get here, only 3 comics have done it and they just wasted it… 010
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yeah that’s the big takeaway - they’ve failed Peter. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It’s crazy to me that in a week that ASM #1000 comes out, that’s the discourse. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I feel like it’s cake and eat it and seen it before. So they can have a film like this get a win as well as a more traditional one in the main category. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I’ve honestly barely seen anyone talk about this issue releasing today, which feels crazy for such a milestone. At least with Action and Tec it felt somewhat special. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think as a concept it only really hits hard the first time - it works because it’s pulling the rug from under Bruce. After that, he knows. 120
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don’t think it works either unless you have a Peter for it to play off, and it’s quite clear he’s untouchable outside of the Holland films. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That’s my guess. I think it’s a cool period to explore again. 011
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026They making a big deal about it being Cruise’s worst RT score in over a decade, but I think the Final Reckoning one was too kind. 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yeah I think it’s a WF style book during that period. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You think he’d have just carried on if hadn’t been cut short? 100
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Maybe I just forgave Action/Tec because they made more effort with the promotion and talent involved. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It’s such a significant milestone that the actual brave thing would’ve been to have a story about Aunt May actually dying, not some gimmick that’ll be forgotten (no pun intended) in a year. 110
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I’ve not even seen any reaction to it. I think people know the score now. 000
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I just took it for a launchpad for Zdarksy moving from Marvel to do more DC. 010
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Think they did use Death when Lex was lead in Action. But yeah, those characters are so Gaiman coded just leave alone. 130
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It’s got the kind of online hype too that you know social is gonna be littered with gifs, images, spoilers. 101
Dave Flynn @davekflynn.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I didn’t know that even though it’s in UK is not starting till 2am… 100
