How long will this stuff be 50% off? I've never actually ordered anything new from IST.
The first week. If you order a certain amount, they give you an additional 2%. May not seem like much, but it certainly adds up.
Did anyone in here read Furious by Dark Horse? Didn't realize that was also available today.

Damn you guys and your IST orders. So jealous.
Awesome, that's a great price on Oz. The hardest part will be hiding it from the missus for three months, hah.
I'm always a weird mix of pleased and disappointed when there's a week that I don't order or add any of the new stuff to my wishlist.
...What!?

Guess I'm dropping Red Lanterns unless the new team is amazing. Was fun while it lasted.
I hated Furious.
What!? DAMN! Glad I already dropped most of his DC books tbh.
Really? Maybe I'll remove it from my cart then. What was so bad about it?
It just seemed so pointless to me. It was incredibly angsty.

It's a completely different tone, but I love Thor: The Mighty Avenger by Roger Langridge and Chris Samnee. It has a really nice but short story of Thor and Jane. With amazing art by Samnee.
I also back up the Journey into Mystery recommendation. That run was beautiful.
I was really liking his Red Lanterns and Swamp Thing. Superman Wonderwoman was also real good before Doomed came along.
I'm happy that it doesn't affect Letter 44 and hope he brings his A-game to whatever new Marvel book he ends up writing.
Let's hope Death of Wolverine doesn't suck.
That's a shame. His Red Lanterns is great and the only GL book I currently read.
But at least he'll be on it till March.

How did that photo get approved? He looks like he wants to diddle my soul.

I don't think there are two people having more fun making comics than Fraction and Zdarsky right now.
Soule has a young alternate reality Charles Grodin vibe.
Thank you for blowing my mind... you made me do a quick Google search on Charles Grodin, where I learned that he was both the dad in Beethoven AND the doctor from this season of Louie.

I'm actually reading JITM vol 1 right now. If you're into the supporting mythos of the Thor comics world at all, it's totally worth the read. I'm assuming it also sets up a lot of the backstory for Loki's adventures in Young Avengers and Loki: Agent of Asgard.

Didn't really like JMS Thor, but the Gillen Thor issues afterwards were cool, Billy Tan aside.
Other good Thor shit
-Early Kirby Thor of course, particularly the Eternal War
-Simonson Thor
-Those first 25 issues Dan Jurgens did with Romita Jr
-Thor: Vikings by Ennis and Glenn Fabry as he fights zombie vikings
-Thor: The Mighty Avenger, tragically cut down before it was finished
-Ragnarok, if you ever wanna see that big event they keep threatening actually freakin' happen
-Blood Oath, Warriors Three boy's adventure kind of thing
-Ages of Thunder one-shot Fraction wrote with Patrick Zircher and Khari Evans

I'm still stunned DC not only got around to releasing one trade of the lat 90s Martian manhunter series but now two? Shocking. I need to read the first one and see how it holds up.
So how is five weapons? Any good?

You don't normally hear about exclusives anymore, I remember one talent saying basically the comics can pick and choose who they get these days so it's not needed.
Soules is definitely worthy of an exclusive contract, the guy is a fantastic talent.
Plz. New issue tomorrow! Unfortunately, I don't think it's selling very well. :/
Haha. For the life of me I couldn't recall his name. Had to look up the cast list for The Great Muppet Caper.

It's...
yeah. It took itself more seriously than i thought it would and i wasn't completely into the art.
Yea, it's a fun breezy, young adult mystery type thing. I dug the original 5 issues, need to jump back on board
My copy only just shipped from IST late last week
Worth the wait, i'd say
The art is beautiful and the binding is great @_@
Worth the wait, i'd say
I liked it. Just wished it was longer.

Holy god at that MMW box set. $500 list price lololololol
Doesn't look like there's really anything that catches my interest in this update.
Furious? Yeah. I dropped it after issue #3. It started out alright (not good, not great, just alright) and went downhill from there.

I can't speak of the others but Oz is fantastic. It's really a shame they're not going to finish all the books.
BUT WHAT IF!

It says he's still on Red Lanterns till 2015 but the most recent storyline ended sooooo abruptly, just kind of out of no where it was done. It feel weird and off.

Well that's good. I enjoyed the first volume.
At some point I might have to check out his Swamp Thing. I've been waffling on it.

She has no comic experience
ITS HAPPENING AGAON
But!
But, she isn't Ann Nocenti. Surely, someone with no comic-writing experience is a better option than Nocenti, who has been in the business long enough for her soul to turn into a twisted black thing that derives sustenance only from the suffering of her readership?

This is a pretty interesting announcement, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the next writer of Avengers.
