Thanks! I'm still of on the fence about the omnibus. It comes in at over 1200 pages, which is a nice size.
I see the series ended in 08. Does it lead into Uncanny Xforce?

Not really into the new She-Hulk, but that's a great order. You got lots of good reading in there.
I kind of want to make an IST order but I have too many things to read right now.
Now thats sexy.
I have a nice pile of it that I need to read. I recall last time I posted my plan was Wreckers, then alternate More Than Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise up through vol. #5 of each, then Dark Prelude into Dark Cybertron which would be all I have. And someone said to make sure I do one of the volume 1s first, but I can't remember which. I really need to keep track of this stuff better.

Holy shit, me too!
You actually reminded me that Detective Comics is out as well. I'm waiting for the potential Miracle Man Omnibus so that's not going on the list. What's the word on that though? You liking the new art and all that?
Anyways, I can't think of a whole lot that I want to get this weekend. I was bored yesterday so I bought all the deluxe hardcovers of Y The Last Man, and today I figured I would finally bite on those G Gundam DVD sets. Bandai will never re-release them on Blu, so I picked up the set for $64 and saved myself the trouble of trying to find them when the final dozen or so copies dry up on Amazon.

I trade-wait Miracleman. Fuck $4.99 an issue. I'm still hesitating on Vol.2, tho. $35? Fuck Marvel.
Also, watched a little more stuff today. Did the run from Kids' Stuff up through Dark Heart (the replicating robots one). There were some nice, nice episodes in there! Really, that last on was the only so-so one of the bunch! Particularly nice to see a great episode centered around Booster Gold. Really, really love Booster Gold. And nice Superfriends homage in the one episode, too. And for my random question/comment of the day... Steel can just straight up fly? I guess I've only ever seen him before in the... I think new 52 Superman? Whichever one had his origin alongside Superman fighting Brainiac or some-such. It's been a bit since I read it, but I thought he was an Iron Man style dude in a mech suit, but he was just plain flying without jets or anything of the sort...
Oh, and Mask of the Phantasm was good, though I did have the reveal spoiled by a Topless Robot list which mentioned a toy that also spoiled said reveal like, a good while back. Still fun though and a whole ton of a lot better than Subzero was.

Definitely not a bad idea, as Bandai is sadly straight up dead. There's always a chance that somebody else will salvage it like what happened to a number of their licenses already, but it's far from a guarantee. Also, G Gundam is seriously awesome. And surprisingly not just for the ridiculous "what the hell were they thinking?!" moments with the more... questionable... designs.
G Gundam has picked up the reputation of thatsracist.gif as of late, so that's why I'm thinking nobody will ever touch that series again. It's ridiculous, it's fun, and it's one of the defining shows of my tween/early teen years.
And really, burning finger might be one of the best names for a Gundam sex act ever.

Gundam is gonna get localized again. I forgot who it was, but someone picked up Turn A Gundam for next year. Plus we get Gundam Build Fighters every week through their official Youtube channel which is always awesome.
Nice variety in there too-- comics, manga, and books without pictures! Interested in seeing what else they add.
OKAY FINE. You ball as hard as Cheska and Freeza. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
Now you can stop buying things for the sole purpose of proving your baller status.

Don't know why anyone would buy the expensive miracle man issues. I guess it's because I've already read it years ago but I'm waiting for the omnibus version that we all know is coming. Good series though. Surprisingly I ended up liking Gaimans run in it more. His stuff was great

The Miracleman art restoration has been great, but they fucked up with this pricing. Don't know what they were thinking with that shit.
Man I don't buy that Turn A localization news for a minute. I heard the same rumors like 2 years ago and nothing happened.
The DBZ Battle of The Gods is on sale on Amazon so I got that as well.
Yes ^_^
Velvet week makes this the best week.
The same shit they're thinking with $4.99 events. (edited because my bad, SHIELD is $3.99)

Nice mix of stuff in this one. Really want to try Knights of Sidonia (I don't even read the mangoos apart from Attack on Titan) and Pinocchio Vampire Slayer. I buy all the Humble Book Bundles because I like DRM-free digital books, haven't got around to this one yet but I will soon.
I'm gonna guess it's because of the amount of legal nonsense with Todd and co. that had to be sorted out. Quesada announced they had the rights back in like... 2009?
They announced Turn A at a convention or something, and then Bandai Entertainment collapsed. It's supposed to be released by Rightstuf at some point now.

Is that the one where Goku fights a house cat?

All about that market share and they know sucker will shell out for it.
Both. I do have a fondness for the heroes who work in the background of things like Bucky though, hence why he's one of my favorite characters. Cap is another favorite and he operates on the bigger level.
Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if piracy becomes more commonplace as prices rise though. Marvel may pull some Ubisoft shit in a more digital future.
My heart can't take much more of this. I have never seen the show and this has been my favorite action figure of mine since I was 11 years old. I got it at EB Games on clearance when I was a kid:
Still have him
Totally agree with this, last month's thread was a fuck ton of noise with no signal. Just a bunch of people talking into the void.

That's kind of a scary though for an industry where piracy already runs rampant. I remember reading an interview with Kieron Gillen a few years ago where he was talking about how frequently people approach him at cons and say some variation of "You're so great, I've torrented everything you've done!" You know that's happening across the board.

Macross is superior to Gundam.
Just saying.
Just saying.
^^ Gundam has much lower lows, but also much higher highs. Then again I'm not a typical Macross fan -- I like DYRL and 7 a ton and everything else I could really do without
dang dude, building master grades at 11?
but yeah, I love Turn A. I waffle between that and G as my favourite.

What does this even mean though? I mean we're never going to read the same books so specific comic discussion is going to be fairly difficult. As we're not going to start threads for specific tastes and cliques you pretty much have to start a topic and see whom bites.
TheDarkKnight774

True. But OG gundam universe is still badass.
Well, this particular figure was not a master grade. It was an actual boxed imported action figure and had all of those parts. I was building master grades at 11 though. I was a little weirdo and I don't flaunt it but I actually do draw and make things or whatever. I love to paint.

We'll end up in the Community ghetto with more threads like last month's. There was already a lot of rabble rousing in the "OTs on release date" thread about why we're still in OT when other threads aren't. If that happens, all OT is left with as far as comics is Slayven threads about which Celestial would win in a pissing contest.
If I want to talk about a specific book. I bring it up and chat with whoever engages with me. We discussed Batgirl and Gotham Academy at length earlier this month. Velvet as well. I gave no problems getting discussion out of here when I need it.
Us specifically. Interesting.

I kickstarted the Robotech miniatures since it's the closest thing to Macross we're going to get (
and I actually like Robotech too
To keep this on topic: I gave serious thought to getting the OG Gundam manga/trades whatever. I still kind of want them. Anyone have them? They worth it?

Attention Valiant comic readers (I think there might be a couple out there?)
I think I'm going to start culling the list. The product line was so great for so long but it feels like its in a slump. That last event felt unnecessary and should have just been an xo man of war story. So I think ill pair it down to just Archer & Armstrong and Harbinger. And I'll avoid their event books for a while. Maybe catch up on xo through a digital sale

What you did was more admirable than a Groot pumpkin.
At the very least, I know Freeza and I and maybe Rafa get these:
Not my pic, but from GAF.

Yeah, they're gorgeous volumes. I've got all seven that they've released so far. Reading-wise, I'm at the beginning of volume five.
Yeah but it was gonna be a cool Groot pumpkin.

I was thinking of making a DC Comics Community thread in the community forum. Marvel gets multiple threads for its events and movies and whatever they do. I'm sure there is some like minded DC fans on GAF that would like to talk about DC related stuff without having to debate. I would like to have discussions about Futures End, Eternal, Worlds End, Multiversity and any upcoming DC events. I don't want to have to go through 3-6 pages per day and try and find discussion on these topics. I want to come into a thread and and the discussion be there. This thread has become too big. It's more of an Community thread now.
Are you saying you hate us now D:

I honestly wouldn't mind if Marvel and DC got their own respective OTs.

I actually don't think you'll get the audience unless Ben Affleck makes an appearance in Multiversity or something.
The "DC stay losing" thing has just become a GAF meme for movie nerds, like gifs for wrestling, that puppet thing for PonyGAF or waifu stuff for anime/manga. I honestly wouldn't worry about it.
I also wouldn't start a thread for a DC event until a new one actually starts. You do one for Future's End, you'll get ten pages of "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO READ 27 ISSUES AND A BUNCH OF TIE-INS? FUCK THIS COMPANY!" Best to start on the ground floor. It'll be difficult though.
