Currently reading Welcome Back Frank and it's fantastic. Found a good deal on the entire MAX run and bought all the books. Still looking for the other Marvel Knight trades. I want to read those first but they are a bitch to find
 

Kipp

but I am taking tiny steps forward
son of a fuck, it's every Hitman TPB except the first one

Yeah, the first one very recently went out of print. It's still readily available for cheap on Amazon though.

Just read the first few issues of Preacher and starting to understand why this run is so well recieved. Already ordered the next volume with the Seven Soldiers of Victory books on sale.

Nice! I'd love to hear your thoughts as you read through since I'm doing a readthrough at the moment as well.

Awesome. Ennis/Dillon's Punisher is one of my top 3 favorite runs of all time. That makes it all the more unfortunate that the rest of the Marvel Knights run is out of print. It takes patience, but reasonably priced collections will pop up on eBay occasionally. I scored the volume 2 OHC (the OHC collecting the issues directly after Welcome Back, Frank) for just $19 a couple months ago. Such great, great stuff. It's just a joy to read.
 
Just ordered Criminal Deluxe Ed from IST.
Jonesin for some Ed Brubaker/ Sean Phillips love.. didn't know anything about Criminal so I watched a review on it,, it looks glorious.

Holy shit, thats really a lot of stuff I hoped for a long time for a new Release. Damage Control, Black Panther, Annihilation Conquest and Onslaugh alone make me really happy.

This stuff poping up means its short time until the new Marvel Announcements Cataloge pops up on Hachete :D Yeah :D Time to preorder all my comics for the first half of 2015^^

A little bit bummed about the lack of Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 Omnibus, but there are still two release windows and the Fantastic Four Vol. 3 Omni also got announced in between.

GREG RUCKA WRITING MONTOYA!! FUCK YES.

Also warms my heart to see Oracle and Steph and Jesse fuckin Quick again too. I look forward to seeing them all killed off horribly :p
 
I bet, I bet when Jim Lee posted a pic of a few DC writers and Dan Didio in a room and said I'll be working with one of these guys very soon.

A Grant Morrison/ Jim Lee book.

They tried that, got one issue out IIRC. Jim Lee's art is not good enough to take him as long as it does.

I disagree, Jim Lees art carried the recent Superman Unchained. I think he is a great artist. But I'm saying, they are probably doing a one-shot for this event.

To me it looked like it was falling apart after the first couple of issues like his work always does. And the amount of easy pages Snyder threw him (a red blur through space!) were cringingly obvious.

IMO he's been surpassed in every field by folks like Tony Daniel who do everything he can do but better and quicker. He draws a decent "stock man", his women are all pinch faced and cinched of waist and his celebrated eye for detail can devolve into a mess of lines when he's up against a deadline.

Anyway, just my two penneth.
 
I really enjoy Star Wars Legacy, but you know that Disney and Marvel are going to cut that out of cannon faster than Grand Moff Tarkin blew up Alderaan.

All pre-Disney EU stuff is no longer canon, except for the 3D Clone Wars series. It's still going to be reprinted, but under the "Star Wars Legends" banner. It sucks, but I think it might be for the best.

These Convergence books sound hype. I'm definitely interested now.

Some of these sound really cool.

But also seems like opening a ton of wounds and pouring salt all over your body then jumping into an alcohol pool

Omg the Sirens are back together. I was just talking about my wish for them to reunite for one more issue on irc. #teamsirens unite.

Gail writing Nightwing/Oracle.

Omg Rucka Montoya.

Fuck.
 
Some bs.. DCBS said the Batman Black & White Statue Mike Mignola variant was cancelled.
" Will be reoffered in a later issue of Previews "
Bastaarrrddsss
 
Wait, what the flip is all the Convergence stuff?

After a quick google, apparently we are getting 40, 2part miniseries of characters from all over?

I'm game.
 
Okay, so my big Marvel read of all the major events from 2004 onward needs to get back on track. I read up to the end of Secret Invasion, and need to continue on to Dark Reign now. But after SI, I switched back to the cosmic side and couldn't stop, and went all the way to the end of Thanos Imperative, which more or less appears to be the end of Cosmic Marvel until Bendis' GotG. So, it's back to earth, I suppose.

Actually, I lost track of the mutants at some point, too... M-Day happened, Vulcan happened, they told everyone to suck it and sat out Civil War, and that's about it. There are still no mutants, and Sentinels in the front yard. Hulk showed up and whipped their ass at one point. Anyway, I think it's time to pick back up with them, and as I understand it that means Endangered Species, then Messiah CompleX, which I've heard good things about.
 
it's probably batman's

Hahaha

--

So since DCBS cancelled my Batman Black & White Mike Mignola statue,,,,

Says it ships next month so we'll see, hopefully.

from what i got:

Convergence is a bunch of alternate universes trapped in bottles by Brainaic and then they collide


Secret Wars is the Beyonder making a new planet where each country is a different universe of Marvel stuff.


Isn't this pretty similar?
 

Alisa Kwitney??

There's a name I haven't heard in quite some time.

Also, god help me, Earth 2 Worlds End #1 was actually quite enjoyable. I find Alternate Earth to be a much more interesting trope than 5 Years From Now Earth, at least when Hickman's not writing one. I'm going back to Futures End though to give it a shot.

Batman Eternal, I'm catching up and just at the point where Catwoman took over the mob. Still quite enjoy this book.

I picked up Godhead #1 and wasn't too impressed. I might just give up on catching up on the GLU. It's like the same story forever and ever. Dude wants the rings, the corps are changed forever, blah blah blah. Not sure I really care anymore.

EDIT: HOT TAMALE

THE QUESTION

Two-Face is fighting another world's Harvey Dent, and it's up to Renee Montoya as the Question to help him beat the odds. Greg Rucka (W), Cully Hamner (A).
 
I am hoping that we honestly get some of these characters on screen. They print money with the older crowd.

Brah, as long as they put Mara Jade and the Solo kids (plus maybe Tahiri and Tenel Ka) in the new films, all of the other EU characters can go get fucked.

Omg the Sirens are back together. I was just talking about my wish for them to reunite for one more issue on irc. #teamsirens unite.

Omg Rucka Montoya.

Fuck.

OMG, I've got a huge DC boner right now.
