Ms Marvel are great tho, best marvel book atm.. fuck yo edgy avengers book.

EDIT:Seeing the preview, I'm surprised with "too young" comment.. the artstyle seem actually on rough cartoon side to me not teen titans.
 
Well then. I think IST must have psychically read my frustration in regards to Hellboy. They skipped the half bubble step and just sent out the first Library Edition this morning, just a bit before I was about to shoot them an email. Of course I still need them to get the fourth one in for me, but yay progress!
 
Just going to leave this here to warm hearts and stuff:

And Cameron Stewart is throwing a fit about it on Twitter, calling Rich out because the preview is supposed to be "for retailers only" and the general public is now seeing (according to Stewart) an unfinished work.

Very wordy, and it doesn't look very much like a DC comic.
Just wait until all your Marvel Comics look like DC comics and the DC comics look like Pre Disney Marvel Comics. Mike Marts is a bitch brah.



Goddam that Stewart is wordy, who does he think he, Chris Roberson? Show don't tell brah.

How was everyone's weekend?? I'm still waiting for my order of COPRA - Round Ones to show up, but in the mean time I found and won these Fiffe prints off of ebay! Sooo excited to frame them...

That second print is dope. Fuck I need to find that.
 
All the Hellboy books are sitting at my house waiting for me. Even better, IST confirmed that Blacksad vol 2 was shipped. That completed all of my orders from the Dark Horse sale.
 
Long Halloween is anything but overrated...

It's often mentioned in the same breath as DKR and Year One and I think it's baffling.

The unraveling of the mystery was unsatisfying to say the least. There's two or maybe 3 Holiday killers, who knows, and there are no clues that enable you to puzzle everything together. So when they are revealed, there's no 'of course!' revelation, it's just baffling and anticlimatic. It's like Loeb had no idea himself and just kept adding possibilities. It feels like he has no idea how to write a mystery.

There are also a bunch of superfluous villain cameos. It's like they're all there.... just because they're famous Batman rogues. Just unnecessary.

Rereading DKR or Year One just makes me like those books more, but the opposite is true for Long Halloween.

Anyway, these just came in.

Not up to speed on the Spidey continuity but I hear it's not required for this series
 
Trying to get into comics and completely lost on where to start. Going to do the Marvel Unlimited and really want to read good X-Men comics, but I'm open to anything. What are some of the better story lines to read that are available on Marvel Unlimited?
 
Finished a bit ago.


I thought it was the last book but the last page said "Parker Returns in 2015". That's awesome, love the Parker series.

Can't seem to find anything about it online, though.

Start with issue 1 of All-New X-Men if you want to read Marvel current stuff. I really enjoy it. Uncanny X-Men is also a lot of fun and links closely with All-New.

Other than that people here highly rate Uncanny X-force. Not sure if that is on there though.

Awesome, thanks.

Is Mark Millar's Ultimate X-Men on there? That stuff is really accessible

I have to recommend Joss Whedon/John Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men then. #1-24, starts in 2004. Incredible book, and you can just dive right in.

I second the Astonishing X-Men (Whedon) comment. It's pretty fantastic. Made me absolutely love Colossus and Kitty Pryde.

Also, I just was reading Uncanny X-Force (Remender) and it's also pretty rad. It deals with a smaller team (Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, Deadpool, and Fantomex) so it does a pretty good job of having every member contribute to the story without any real deadweights. Also, makes it easier for someone new to the comics to come in because all the character stuff starts and wraps up in the arc. It's also probably the best portrayal of Deadpool I've read in quite some time.

Yeah, he's probably working on Butcher's Moon which should be his finale. Hopefully it isn't as wack as Slayground though, that book felt like the work of a geriatric whose soul was sapped by Before Watchmen money

e: actually tho of it's coming out next year then I don't have my hopes up, that's say too soon

Remender's Deadpool in Uncanny X Force is the definitive for that character, for me. Dude figured out how to write that played out joke of a character and how to give him some real depth. Last issue is seriously stolen by Deadpool, in the best possible way.
 
Why is he wearing a scarf? Very fashionable.

Gotta dress right when you're slicing fools to death, yo.

Even better, IST confirmed that Blacksad vol 2 was shipped.

This implies that you didn't already own Blacksad volume 2, which makes me sad.

I don't understand where the blood is coming from.

People.

That are now dead.

Because Deathstroke made them that way.
 
oh and uh since the last week of my life has been sucked out by Destiny, which is strictly 7/10 material btw, I didn't comment on last week's comics or do the Sunday Miller Moment jesus fuck sorry ya'll

-Annihilator is dope as fuck, dare I say better than Multiversity. Its still Morrison doing his fiction-metafiction-realism story, but on a level I haven't seen him do it in a long ass time. Frazier Irving dabes. Lookin forward to more

-TEEN DOG will be in the conversation for comic of the year, no doubt.

-Prophet Strikefile had a LOT of exposition for a book that usually doesn't do that kind of thing, but it also still lets the art subtly infer a lot of the world and the various artists know how to compose an informative Prophet page. Playful, superfluous, good.

-Copperhead looks kinda like another sci-fi Image comic with some polic procedural thrown in for good measure, but its actually a Western. There's a new sheriff in town, fresh off the train, with the dumb kid deputy you can't help but like, the big nemesis on the ranch, couple case files to rassle up. Its a western. Very strong personalities, both in the writing and Godlewski's art that ranges from cute to scary when the time calls to really define them. He has a great sense of body language and character expression, which is the kind of thing you need to nail down in these sci-fi first issue deals.

-Amazing Spider-Man #6 was just bad man, just fuckin' BAD. I don't know what's worst, the Black Cat characterization nobody buys, Electro's superfluous appearance because he was in that awful ASM2 movie, or Mary Sue Silk upstaging Peter Parker in his own damn comeback story. Straight Birdie-tier comics here breh, Good lord

-Velvet is still competent and pretty, but its never very compelling month to month read, is it?

-All-New Ultimates, more like All-New TRASH, nigga

-I bought Hawkeye #20 but I'm saving it to read the whole run together, but just flipping through the pages I already know its gonna be a clever mix of heart and humor with a superbly crafted structure that owes just a little bit to The Long Goodbye. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This dude is throwing massive shade Zombine. MASSIVE. How are you just gonna take that.
 
I pushed Six Gun Gorilla onto two of my friends, who don't usually read comics. Both of them loved it. I shall proselytise this book as many as I can.
