Finally got around to reading the Fraction/Aja Immortal Iron Fist.

It was brilliant. I remember checking out the first few issues when it first came out but I kind of lost interest in comics around World War Hulk/Secret Invasion time. Orson Randall is a badass. Top Tier Comics here though. Also, what happened to the Pulido that did some of the pages here? Don't hate She-Hulk art or anything but I thought he was better here.

OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Thanks this thread for making me aware of Doom Patrol.

Just read the first two issues and I'm loving it! With a name like "Doom Patrol" I expected something goofy but man did I get the opposite the way Morrison works these horror elements in was just down right eerie it reminds me of the early issues of Sandman.

Is the rest of the run just as good?

It gets even better. The first arc is super tame compared to later stuff.

I'm not as far as Kipp is, but it's amazing. One of the best series I've read.

That art scares the shit out of me. I bought that first volume awhile ago because it was on sale on Amazon for like, I don't know, $2 or something. But that art is photo-realistic nightmare fuel.

You talking shit about my man stjepan sejic? You wanna fight? I will cut you.

Holy smokes! Dude is seriously talented, that art is jaw dropping :O Is the story itself something worth talking about?

You know Stjepan is the same guy who does Sunstone. So you get nice characters at the very least.
 
I note that there is supposed to be a new Grant Morrison/Frazier Irving joint out next week, and only one person mentioned it.

Legendary Comics proudly presents Annihilator, an original graphic novel odyssey from the extraordinary mind of Grant Morrison. This 6-issue series is a subversive sci-fi adventure like no other, brought to life with stunning artwork from Frazer Irving (Judge Dredd, Necronauts).

Washed-up Hollywood screenwriter Ray Spass is caught in a downward spiral of broken relationships, wild parties and self-destruction. Out of luck and out of chances, he's one failed script away from fading into obscurity. Little does he know he's about to write the story of his life.

As his imagination runs rampant, Ray must join forces with his own fictional character Max Nomax on a reality-bending race to stop the entire universe from imploding... without blowing his own mind in the process.

One of several interviews about the book here.

Maybe Legendary just sucks at promoting their books. It was originally announced almost two years ago, and then dropped off the radar until it finally got a release date a few months back.

Yeah but the styles are different. Maybe it had something to do with the glossy paper it was printed on but it felt like photos of people against painted backgrounds, if that makes any sense? And that particular contrast is just really jarring.

I love the designs he comes up with for the other races.

I like it. But the first volume really focuses on doing A LOT of world-building. So there are multiple pages dropped here and there that are basically just info-dumps with a picture or two and walls of text. I'm definitely looking forward to volume 2, though.
 
Or Cheska, you could wait until November when Image/Top Cow are releasing the first trade of Sunstone. Where he redid most of the art. He got a lot better as time went on.

Improvements

Newsarama: New Writer Gives CATWOMAN 'Pulpy,' 'Noir' Mood ... and a New Catwoman??

In October, Catwoman becomes a Gotham City crime boss, and new writer Genevieve Valentine says that gives the book a new mood — with "pulpy" and "noir" elements, while still highlighting Selina's "dry sense of humor."

But Selina's new gig as crime boss doesn't mean there's no Catwoman in Gotham. As the cover for Catwoman #36 (above) insinuated, there's still someone wearing a cat suit come November.

But is it Selina… or someone new?

We do appear to have similar tastes often enough, so I'm sure I'll probably have the same sentiments about it.

If it's releasing this year, maybe I'll wait. It's not like I don't have enough to keep me busy until then haha.
