The only good things about July are my birthday and vacation.
October in the Northeast of USA has fall, colorful trees, Halloween, Apple cider donuts, and yoga pants.
Yoga pants invalidates all other months.

I officially have the post with the highest post number ever in a ComicsGAF thread. Aw yeah.
And October is usually the best month, except for this year when California decided that it was still summertime and felt that we didn't get quite enough 80+ degree days this year.
But this morning, since it's November now, summertime finally gave up the ghost (okay, is this not the perfect use for this idiom? Using it to explain the day after Halloween? I'm giving myself a high five for this one) and decided to start raining and being cold sometime during the night, probably at exactly midnight.
All that to say, November looks like it's gonna have October beat this year.

Jupiter's Legacy is only up to issue #4. It's been out for like a year and a half. Issue #5 comes out this month.
Lolwut.
Lolwut.
I honestly don't hate it. I don't think it is as great as the pitch, but the art is perfect like usual. Quitely is a master of scale and depth and is right up there with Moebius and Stokoe.

The Quitely talk just made me notice it in this month's solicits. Lol worthy that it's such a slow release. Who is to blame? Millar while he fucks around with other dumb shit, or Quitely because it takes time to get every lumpy detail just right?
Also, ...
I tried. You guys just post too much. Also, I blame Smash Bros for sapping my will to do anything else for the first like 2 weeks or so of the month.
I consider you a regular lol
I typically drop off during weekday mornings, and pick up again in the evening and the weekends.
Oh fuck yes. This is Kirkman at his absolute best. Just like Aaron, he's writing what he grew up with, and surprise surprise it's fucking fantastic.

Same in the Midwest as well. But as of yesterday, we also have snow in October. -_-
That I can do without. I remeber when we had snow around Halloween 3 years ago. It was bizarre.

Watched The Dark Knight Returns animated film this morning and really enjoyed it. He's no Kevin Conroy but I thought Peter Weller was decent as an older Bats. As I've become more of a Superman fan I like how he's portrayed in Returns less and less but the fight scene at the end was fun. £4 wasn't bad for both parts.

Probably why both are sticking out to me. They feel so..."real" I guess is the word? Maybe authentic would be better. The art in Outcast really takes me back to late fall in the Northeast where everything is just kind of shitty, gray, and dark looking. It has a real oppressive feel. I love it. The story is fairly straight forward exorcist stuff but MAN is it well written.

Damn it! I'm moving my last posts my the previous thread to here.
Full time job here, though honestly most of my posting happens while at work. On the weekends I'm doing shit around the apartment, spending time with my GF, and trying to play video games.
Did you know I didn't finish black flag. I got 3/4 of the way through it, and then the fucking seagate external hard drive died and took all my game saves with it. I disliked the ship stuff so much I can't go back.
Also my GF and I got woken up at 4 am this morning by my server's raid card's alarm because the last of the seagate drives I bought died. Fuck Seagate. 4 drives in 2 years dead.
YAY on Batman 35 making it, at least 1 of the books I voted for made it in the list this month.

Wait... Are you implying #TeamHarley are the tea party in this scenario?
Eh, whatever. I'm just glad people are passionate about their favorite books. Southern Bastards is clearly a classic in the making, but it's nowhere on that list. Not a big deal, just people having fun.

Just another dark moment in our lives, a string of non-Grant Morrison DC books in 2014.
Shh, no tears, only Pax Americana now.
*doesn't even bother voting since no one else actually reads Stray Bullets and Copra

Trade of the month better be Moon Knight - From the Dead. Or the Howard the Duck omnibus, if I can get away with it.
yes!
I'd read Copra if I knew where the hell to buy it from. It sounds right up my alley.
I'd read Stray Bullets if there werent so many issues I'd have to read. I already have too many runs I'm in the middle of.
Your cat is sooo cute! I love tuxedo kitties <3
Hell yeah, two of my three picks made it!!! Was hoping Gotham Academy would squeeze in too but alas, we still had a victory.
I love this analogy

Moocat or Moomoo. She is the best cat I've ever had.
Gotham Academy is still awesome. I hope it finds an audience.
Sillymonkey only likes grimdark DC. The notion that there can be fun, light hearted and goofy DC books are plainly offensive.

Talking to my LCS shop owner, he is overwhelmed by the amount of books coming out these days. Not just any books, actual quality books. I think there is a direct correlation with how our thread has grown and how the comic industry has grown. My shop owner said that it's hard for him to make recommendations anymore because he can't keep up with everything. It's easier to recommend the big 2 characters than trying to find that perfect indie books for someone.
I think our book of the month and our whole thread is kinda like that. Ten thousand post in one month, while impressive, was not a fun month of comic discussion. Lot of noise and not much focus with any discussion. I think we defaulted to the characters we love in the voting. I'm not saying the books in the top 3 are not worthy of being there, it's just easier to have a group rally for some characters we know than trying something different. Kinda like my shop owner.

Is something like this not on comixology?
Hey Rafa, time for your favorite comic by the best in the industry: Superior Iron Man by Tom Taylor!

One vote at a time good comics-gaf citizens and the DC scourge will be over.
Thanks for that, good to feel accepted! I would like to make the old wall of shame at least once though. Hopefully actually reading comics will help with that this month.
Speaking of which, got a few more trades in today, a Sonic (which nobody but me cares about), the newest Turtles, and most importantly of all, the first Ms. Marvel!
Please read Deathlok. It's so damn good. I read it all over again.
Tiz lives for that shit man. I know he'd take it off your hands.

As far as I know, the only place to buy it is Bergen St Comics in Brooklyn or etsy when Michael Fiffe randomly puts issues up there for sale. It'd be great to be proven wrong since it sounds like something I'd absolutely love.
