How are Jeff Loeb and Tim Sales Batman books rated around here? Worth picking up? How about their Catwoman book When in Rome.

Overrated, didn't enjoy them that much. Their Superman story (For All Seasons) is much better I've found. If you want to read something by them, I recommend that.
 
Well shit. They cancelled the TPB reprints of Starman Omnibus and the hardcovers are out of print.

Yep. Highly annoying. I hate when that happens. I'm stuck with the volume 1 and 2 TPBs at the moment. Not sure I want to pull the trigger on the remaining hardcovers until I can get volume 3 for a decent price. Even then, the OCD kicks in...

I got the first 2 paperbacks then grabbed the last 3 hardcovers.

Volume 3 has been out of print for a while but my LCS had it sealed at retail price

And I think I'm gonna go ahead and crown Kamala Khan as my favorite Marvel character right now. She's adorable
 
wait what's this The Kingdom shit

Why is it bad? I don't wanna read it if it's gonna fuck up Kingdom Come for me, but if Waid wrote it why did he make it bad

why ;_;
 
Guys, I think Alex + Ada got delayed. Originally was supposed to come out last week, finally got around to check the date and Image's site says October ;_;

I was able to turn around this shitty weekend by buying an iPad Air! Got it at an incredible deal by price matching Walmarts ad at Target and still getting a $50 gift card. Damn I've missed having a full sized iPad. Comics look glorious, even better than my mini since I don't have to read in widescreen anymore :P
 
Guys I have to admit something. I'm always surprised when I see a comicGaf member posting in threads outside this one.

Stop stalking us.

Especially considering how bad the Marvel Unlimited app is with resizing pages.

How could you have a shitty weekend when you got all those books in!?




Edge of Spiderverse Two is the most I've ever been hyped for a oneshot.

If you love Alex and Ada, check out the Luna brothers other book Girls. That's from my wife.
 
Why wouldn't we? I wouldn't even consider this thread as my "home" thread.
wow

Betrayalton. ComicsGAF is the one true home.
Freezes real home is with animu figures and hot glue guns :P

I should have picked that up when they were having that Luna brothers sale not too long ago! Is there anything else she follows regularly? Seems like we have pretty similar tastes.

Long Halloween is anything but overrated...

I knew about the figures, but I didn't know where Freeza's loyalty really ended up.

I, for one, consider ComicsGAF my home thread. Also I consider non-OT comics thread to be awful outside of Slayven's posts in them. They all end up so badly.

Slayven is like a comic missionary venturing out to the great unknown spreading the good word

Well, I got into figures via comics in a way. The ones that really kickstarted my collection were the Marvel/DC bishoujo figures from Kotobukiya. Though I was only planning to buy a few.

How many hot glue guns do you own, Freeza?

What makes it amusing is that most people have no idea what you're talking about. They would be horrified to learn that it was actually a thing.
 
YAY Brubaker Cap!! Pai Pai, have you posted a picture of your collection before? Seems like a nice set up you have there!

It's my favourite Marvel run ever :)

I'll try to snap one tomorrow.

Such alphabetization! I do the same, but I keep them arranged by size first (OHC, HC, TPB) then by title.

Haha yeah, I tried to group them by teams/characters but it gets more difficult as I expand my collection and buy older runs. So I have the Avengers books first, then the rest is alphabetized, with some consideration for chronology.
 
I know I'm repeating what other posters have mentioned but Avengers 34.1 was really amazing. It's one hell of a Superman Hyperion one shot.

I should probably try Al Ewing's other books.

I haven't been posting much here because I get involved in other threads. For most of October I'll be in the 31 Horror Movies thread.

IMO The Kingdom is both good and bad. Not a patch on the epic elegance of KC but a fun little story with one of the most important endings ever for those of us that can't accept continuity changes.

The Kingdom is still canon for me.
 
Cool someone else has been reading this? Its been really good, the art and colors are freaggin amazing.
I'd like to do a recap of the first 5 issues before #6 Wednesday.

My favourite comic right now. I wonder how it ends.

Also Southern Bastards #4: That one was really really great.
Those feels. And i hope that we get to see her badass military side.

I'll give it a go sometime when I'm about to reread KC, then.
