What's the difference between this and the regular comic?

Its a magazine print. So over sized pages,, has some extra preview and stuff in the back.

Also the cover of the #1 magazine is the variant cover Francavilla did for Life with Archie #23 that got the whole archie zombie book idea going.

Im a sucker for anything Francavilla. Over sized pages looks so nice

 

[wetflame]

Ah, I see, yeah that's pretty awesome. Francavilla is a great artist. Love his Doctor Who sketches, and Black Beetle is awesome. I've been picking up the regular Afterlife With Archie issues and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I go all-digital though so larger pages won't really factor in. Also oh god there are so many comics I want out this week. I might need to space them out a bit. Wonder Woman is the new team, right? I don't know whether I'm going to keep reading that. So far this is my list:

Amazing Spider-Man #10
Astro City #17
Batman and Robin #36
Batman/Superman #16
Black Widow #12
Daredevil #10
Deadly Class #9
Deadpool #37
Elektra #8
Fables #146
Magneto #12
The Multiversity Pax Americana #1
The Punisher #12
Revival #25
The Sandman: Overture #4
The Unwritten: Apocalypse #11
Zero #12

I might check out Spider-Woman but, you know, Land.

Just finished the mesh arc of doom patrol.

Wow

That was probably the only arc I didn't care for since it was a little too dense for its own good and dragged on about an issue too long. But either way, it was packed full of some of Morrison's trademark insanely creative ideas. Tons of interesting stuff in that arc. I just wish he would've picked up the pace on it a bit. I'm glad you're enjoying it though!

 

[ThyMusicMan]

Rasputin #1 was pretty damn good. It reminded me a lot of Zero,, very good number one check it out yall.

The Humans #1 was also really good. I was pleasantly surprised. Doesn't take itself to serious pretty funny shit in there. Tim and Korput would probably like.

Drifter #1 was good as well..

All these random books I picked up Friday were awesome I will forsure be pickin up the next issue.
I still have Memetic #1 to read by James Tynion IV

Also out this Wednesday at your local comic shop.

Did it get delayed or are non-comic book shops getting fucked here? I had it pre-ordered on Amazon, and a week or two ago it went from coming out now to the generic release date of December 31, and a we need a little more time to figure out when this will get delivered thing.

I preordered Batman and Catwoman from DCBS. it says "This is a pre-order item. The expected in-store date is: 12/17/2014"
That's about what I was seeing everywhere else online

 

[VeeP]

Original Sin Spider-Guy

Maaan the writer wish fullfilment overtones with Silk are some seriously creepy shit.
"oh hey! i just met you! and youre asian! and hot! and better than me even though you've been stuck in a cubicle for 10 years! and you walk around covered in webs! and you want to fuck me hard! and you're, like, super protective of me!"

smh

Is there a reason Silk is so fucking good compared to Peter? Powers wise?

I mean, 616 Parker is the chosen spider or some shit. But she's been saving his ass since she appeared.

Dunno. I get a weekly email from my shop owner and he had pics of it in the email so it's out.

She's physically weaker and likely not as smart.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Reconned by Slott because he shits on everything Spider-Man related which wasnt created by himself.

Silk is now the chosen Spider.

Didn't someone in the last ASM tell Peter he was The Spider-One?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Didn't someone in the last ASM tell Peter he was The Spider-One?

I dunno, I havent read the last Issue yet, but in one of the first Issues with Silk she was introduced she was called the new weaver in the middle of the web by Madame Web when I recall correctly.

Is he now leading the Spider-Army? Or is still SpOck in charge?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I wish Afterlife With Archie was hardcover......

 

[KoruptData]

Batgirl 36 made my book of the month list and I couldn't even pin-point why. I think Jim Zub said it best.

@JimZub: Batgirl #36: I was mesmerized by @cameronMstewart + @babsdraws bringing back 6-12 panels per page! It feels modern but also old school.

I just loved the layouts of everything. It was truly quite stunning. Like he said, it had the old school paneling but had Babs action exploding out of the panels. It was really fun to read through.

You obviously have a secret fantasy involving Asian twins.

 

[Cheska]

Also out this Wednesday at your local comic shop.

I need this. So CUTE! I'm going back to work on Wednesday though, so I hope I can order it online instead.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Couldn't you just do that right now?

 

[Cheska]

Couldn't you just do that right now?

What pick it up? I thought it's not out until Wednesday? Or you mean order it online? I'm hoping it pops up on eBay or something on release since I rather not pay a bigger shipping charge from an actual seller. I could try to add it on to an existing BBTS order, but they haven't exactly been on time with their products lately

Spoiler

Morlun and the rest of the hunters have been avoiding 616 because 616-Peter is The One.

Haven't seen SpOck in awhile.

Yeah, I meant order online.

I thought you were supposed to start cutting back on the spending? Cheska lied! Lying Cheska! XD

 

[Chinner]

got to meet jason aaron and jason letour on the weekend and had my copy of southern bastards signed. they seemed very nice and cool guys.

 

[tim1138]

Also out this Wednesday at your local comic shop.

Do they have any of the other Lil Gotham figures? The Damian one is great.

 

[NeonZ]

Or is still SpOck in charge?

Spock is leading a different group of Spiders, not the one with Spider-UK, which is the one that Peter joins.

 

[MG310]

Batman is out and in stock on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JPIQQHE/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Not sure about Joker and Midtown Comics says this week for Damian.

Damian is out also this Wednesday.

Sounds like non-comicshops getting the shaft. Comic shop exclusive for x months or some shit.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

The only downside is I will never be able to capture the sense of wonder of the Jurassic Park soundtrack. It was like landing on the moon meets the first touch from a woman.

 

[phazedplasma]

Why?

Finally finished the second Daredevil OHC... Dat Spider-Man tease at the end. Since I am moving I dont know how much Money I will have avaible, but I hope I can buy the third one soon...

I just dont think its a good way to tell a story by having 4 books overlap each other at different times. Ruins the suspense.

The Aliens aren't scary at all. Relies heavily on the Prometheus movie. Predators feels like an after thought so far.

 

[Messi]

Omg Cover Girls Harley Quinn

Finch Art of War Wonder Woman (that was fast)

Both in July. So in for Harley at least.

Also the Black and white Mignola Batman is now set for July.

Bought and maaaaaaaybe on the Harley/WW

There's a few more of the WW ones I'd like before the Finch one...Chiang and Paquette specifically. It's a strange world where the Hughes one ends up being the weakest of the bunch.

Chiang's is honestly my favorite, and the one I feel represents the actual art the most accurately.

I read Court of Owls and City of Owls yesterday. Loved the setting, art and the first 80% of the arc but the reveal and ending fell a bit flat for me.

I'm going to assume February since it's solicits week, but even then it will have been over a year from announcement to release.

Tony Daniel following the corporate template on how to sell a comic book. Put Batman and Harley in it! Lol. Actually kinda excited about this.

I think I am fully over hyper-violent Harley. It just does nothing for me. It doesn't even feel like Harley.

Secret Wars: Dat Miles prime positioning.

 

[ohhthegore]

that Harley statue looks nice, think I'll pick that up

 

[Owzers]

i like the design of the harley figure more than the statue, might get that if the Harley vol 1 hc isn't awful. Also Mignola batman black and white statue.....

It's not awful. At the very worst it's passable. Good thing it's much better than passable.

 

[Cheska]

That Harley is nice, but this will always be one of my favorites (that I don't even own ;_ Adam Hughes Cover Girl version.
