On to a new month. :)

So I finally read Harley Quinn PeeGee..
I may get banned.... but it just doesn't do much for me.
I enjoyed it,, book looks good.. I don't dislike it. Just doesn't do much for me.
Sorry Messi lol.

When a male supervillain strips a defenseless, amnesiac female superhero naked, dresses her up in fetish clothing, then when she wakes up convinces her they're partners who live together, it's the start of somebody's porn comic.

When a female supervillain does it, it gets published by DC and becomes ComicGAF's book of the month.

Nice lists. Everyone except for Lapham, Claremont, and Moore would be on my top 10 writers as well (and that's just because I haven't read any Lapham or Claremont and have only read Watchmen by Moore).

Also, high five for including Miller and Martin on your top 10 artists list.
Just before I refreshed the ComicsGAF page and saw your post, I was thinking about how I need to catch up on Private Eye. I think I might hold off until it's finished though since it's sort of close to wrapping up. I loved the first five issues though. Especially Martin's art.



No problem :p

Good idea, maybe a few posters would also be interested in doing some write ups. I would love to read some more in depth reviews on this years comics.

It's been a crazy awesome year of comics.

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
Click to expand...
I read stray bullets. It's amazing crime fiction. I need to finish the omnibus

Also Wolverine mini is still by far the best solo wolverine story ever told. Claremont was surprisingly restrained in his writing (and had the correct grim tone) and miller was in his prime. Amazing work from both.

Girlfriend returns from Paris today after attending Games Connection, so she has 30 comics in her backlog to read. Looking forward to her catching up.

The book now known as The Transformers used to be called Transformers: Robots in Disguise, but that has now changed as the sequel to the Prime cartoon is using that title. I don't see the need for the change as they're different markets, but that's the reason. Both books are crossing over for Days of Deception as well.
Click to expand...

It kind of makes sense since I assume they will have a companion comic to the new TV series.

I've been meaning to catch up on the RiD series, but I just know it's going to fall short of More Than Meets the Eye. I didn't think anyone else in the thread read the TF books since they're rarely discussed.

How the hell did Wytches and Southern Bastards not place on the rankings?

Some kinda horseshit.

I voted Sabrina, Wytches, and Southern Bastards
Click to expand...

Holy shit that's a good list. All of those books are ace and some of the best of October. Sabrina was wicked good.

I think my votes went like this:

1) Southern Bastards #5
2) Harley #11 (I almost sent this in as Harley #25. I live in the future)
3) Low #4

I will say that Batman is one of the best covers of the month, and the Harley #11 variant is miles better than the regular cover.

Batman is questionable though. I don't have any fuckin clue where that came from. Book was awesome, but nobody said shit about it. Does Spike take votes from lurkers? No clue. It's gotta be that, or someone is lying lol.

I also think people should hold off voting until the final Wednesday before the new month. Don't just turn in your votes right after the book you're hyped about comes out, because I know my final 3 changes like 6 times before the end.

The days following its release people were really hyped over it. It was good enough to be remembered by the end of the month. I can't wait for the new issue.

I know it's a long shot but are any of you guys getting cod on ps4?

There are stipulations to my performance when it comes to COD though:

1) Must be slower paced ala COD 4, W@W, Blops 1-2. With the exception of COD 4, Treyarch releases cater toward my style of play.

2) If it's anything like MW2-3, expect me to play it only for a little while before I get sick of the horse shit. At best I have a 1.5-2.0 K/D overall in those releases.

I think if that stuff had just been billed and released as a Pirate game, I would totally have been on it. Billing it and releasing it as an Assassin's Creed game, not working for me. I can't tell you how many times I just sat there annoyed to be doing ship stuff when I just wanted to go assassinate some templars damn it.

Batman was my number 1, and I talked about it on here. I think only like 4 or 5 people read my post though, and only one person commented back. *shrug*

I try my best to not ignore anyone. Sometimes I forget to reply to comments because even though I buy my books on Wednesday, sometimes I don't even finish my list until Sunday, or sometimes even as late as the Tuesday night before the new book week. It really was badass though.

I think it would be nice if we had a honorable mention list as well.

I think we should get ultra specific like award shows catered to make everyone happy. I think two of the Categories should be:

"Best Marvel Omnibus Collection Written By Brian Michael Bendis Featuring A Female Lead"

Or

"Best Sci-Fi Image Book Not Written By Rick Remender Featuring An Ensamble Cast"

I had voted for Grayson, Sabrina and Multiversity.

Sabrina hit the nail on the head with the tone and atmosphere of the book. It sucks you in from page one. The writing and art were even better than Afterlife.

On another note, DC/Marvel need to stop reserving certain villains for certain writers *COUGHjoker4scottsnyderCOUGH* *COUGHnormanosborn4danslottCOUGH*

I could happily go about 10 years before another Joker story, except if he was part of an Injustice Gang story, those are always fun.

Osborn peaked with Dark Reign, his appearances in Heroic Age New Avengers and Goblin Nation were both pretty poor.

All that said, there are no bad characters, just bad writing.

I don't even remember him being used in anything other than Derpth of the Family since n52 started.

Don't read Ultimate. I remember Rick Remender saying that Slott had "plans" for Osborn so he had to use Ben Kingsley Goblin in Axis.
