Yeah, that'll teach me to grab image locations directly from Google Images. Sorry about that. Fixed it now though!

Batman #38

I can't wait to see where Snyder runs with this. Dat final panel.

Spoiler

Surely he won't be turning the DC Universe on its head by making Joker an immortal...right? There has to be an explanation!

lol, I always pictured

Spoiler

Joker being immortal all along, how do you explain him always coming back otherwise?

 

[Owzers]

stop fucking around and drop everything already

Hmmm i could probably drop everything and post fake reviews and nobody would notice the difference.

 

[Filthy Slug]

All right, just finished CASANOVA. Fraction and the Brazilian Wonder Twins have smart, sexy, and tense comics down to a science. The whole scene with Cas out on the diving board is my version of comics perfection.

Also, yo, Dustin Harbin is fucking fantastic.

two sets of narration boxes, same colors, always interrupting each other abruptly, but you always instantly know if its "Cassidy" or the omniscient narrator due to the distinctive font/size choices

JC, I literally typed that exact thing out but then erased it 'cause my brain is swimmin' and I'm not sure my shit makes sense.
Also, man, the orange creamsiccle sunset coloring permeating the pages is gorgeous.

Did Hickman write any of the cosmic chart stuff?

Not to my memory, no.

 

[Rhaknar]

Doom just

Spoiler

bitch slapped one of the reeds and basically said "know your role and shut your mouth"

Doom is The Rock of the MU. They both talk in the third person afterall

 

[KoruptData]

Gotham By Midnight is so good guys. Give it a try if you haven't!

 

[Rhaknar]

FF might as well be called Doom and his amazing not-friends because that's what the book is really

Spoiler

And I love it for that

 

[Freezasaurus]

Uncanny Avengers was pretty good. I haven't read the series in a while but a new #1 tempted me to try it out.

 

[Nudull]

Doom needed a solo book years ago.

 

[PsychBat!]

Uncanny Avengers was okay. Definitely getting tired of the team mates not getting along shtick Remender has going on though. I'll keep reading.

 

[KoruptData]

Man, reading Deathstroke overall has been fun. Tony Daniel just can't escape some corny moments. This months issue has a pretty cool ending.

Spoiler

In All-New Suicide Squad 1-4, it involved DS betraying the Suicide Squad. In today's issue of DS, he has to travel to Gotham because that is where his son and daughter are hiding. He seeks out Harley for help. She is mad about the betrayal but they talk it out. She leads him to a clue to find his son and daughter but it's a bunch of dead bodies with an old DS sword in one of the bodies and Batman is there. Harley has set him up! She didn't kill them but planted the sword. It ends with Batman telling DS that his reign of terror is over and they are about to fight with Harley acting all innocent.

 

[Rhaknar]

Whew, done with FF 1-11, onto F4 #600.

There is so much shit going on in this Hickman run, it's ridiculous

 

[Cheska]

Another great video. Also the true size of your collection is clear in these videos. Holy shit look at all those shelves.

Awesome video, keep it up!

Thank you guys! <3

Nothing stops the Aquaman quality train. Just keeps on being good. Arthur and Mera are an awesome couple. It's an Aquaman solo book but it's really the adventures of Aurthur and Mera.

I stopped reading Aquaman when John's stopped writing, but maybe I should pick it back up. Arthur + Mera make for one of the best comic dynamics out there IMO.

 

[KoruptData]

I think you would like it. It made 3 of us ComicGaffers top 10 of 2014 list.

 

[Owzers]

Buffy Season 10 #1 was really rough, like a "remember all these guys?" group fighting vampires first issue. It tried to introduce a new story dynamic at the end but it didn't work that well.

 

[Rhaknar]

F4 #600 is 98 pages long

I hope it's all hickman stuff concluding this giant arc and not a bunch of random "anniversary" stories

 

[Gambit 1138]

its not. There is the main story which is 20 pages and then its all filler. BUT there is a huge easter egg concerning the upcoming Secret Wars in there

[Mistouze]

In anticipation of the Multiversity Guidebook I pulled out the second Kamandi Omnibus to finally read it. The crazyness and creativity in this is just off the hook even after all these years. Blessed be Kirby.

EDIT : Kinda makes me want to jump on his OMAC and/or The Demon books. Talk me into it/out of it plz, I'll provide a picture of me sniffing an Omnibus of your choice in exchange.

 

[googleplex]

Uncanny X-men 30

My god Shield are such fuck ups. Seriously Sheild has just about mishandled everything they're involved in.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Correct this misstep of yours please, Cheska. Parkers on Aquaman has been solid. There is an entire issue devoted to Arthurs class reunion. It's as amazing as you'd expect from such a premise.

 

[Rhaknar]

Switching gears from F4 for a bit, if these new

Finally Bought this Comic Collectorz App... Oh boy, adding my collection will be a horror, they are not even listing the Civl War OHC

Paging KoruptData: Don't forget to breathe.

Deathstroke #5

(W) Tony S. Daniel (A) Tony S. Daniel, Sandu Florea (CA) Leonardo Manco, Tomeu Morey

Deathstroke vs. Batman - with Harley Quinn stuck in the middle! The most intense, brutal battle in the history of The New 52 takes place in this issue!

With a tagline like this how can I not buy this issue? I mean if it's the most intense and all. I look forward to Sillymonkey321 buying it with me as well. I know he can't say no to a good hype build up.

If you can find it, you should totally buy the Demon. Sadly, like Kamandi and the Fourth World omnibi, it's out of print. OMAC is still readily available so jump on that. DC needs to get its act together and keep those Kirby books in print in perpetuity.

 

[arkon]

let's all drop Wicked and Divine together so i don't kill the book alone.

Well I dropped the singles in favour of trade-waiting/digital sales so I'm right there with you, bro.

Batman 38........holy shit.......

Some thoughts.

Spoiler

So if they do make it that Joker is now immortal, than even more than ever before there needs to ALWAYS be a Batman. It also answers the question of why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker, cause he fucking can't. It ALSO means he can be as brutal as he fucking wants to be and just unleash on the Joker and who cares. He'll get better. I don't think that's how it'll play out though, Snyder has something up his sleeve.

Thank you guys! <3

Awesome video, and yes definitely read it. The new team kind of picked up where Johns left off and has been doing a great job on it.

Yo Messi have you read Spinnerette? I need to catch up on that series been over a year since I read it.

You don't even like Cosmic anything though.

 

[ThyMusicMan]

Finally got this Deadly Class variant cover on my DCBS order, I've been meaning to get for a while now.

Also I'm pretty hyped to read Batman,, gotta pick up my books today.

I liked Guardians. But yes that is true. I was just posting it as it looks cool and know some people here like Thanos.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Most recent Mayo Report Podcast is faaascinating. It's talking December 2014 numbers. An ancillary conversation is the Marvel tendency towards #1s and how sharp their #2 drop-offs are (ex: Captain America #1 to #2 was like 59% loss of unit sales) . They also apparently launched at least 48 new number #1s (in the year) versus DCs 14ish.

DC also beat Marvel in units shipped in December.

I want it for the throne. I'm going to put Darkseid on it.

C2E2 line up is starting to look goooood ))

Some names that stick out to me,,

Rick Remender
Ryan Stegman
Amanda Conner
Greg Tocchini (LOW)
Babs Tarr
Aaron Kuder
Chip Zdarsky
Geof Darrow
Skottie Young
Mark Waid

I met most of them last year,, all cool as hell though.

 

[Sadist]

Uncanny seems cool again.

But what, Rogue is so weird. Now she cares again about SW? Stop being so lame Rogue.

 

[Mistouze]

Look at all these fuckers at half an hour or so from me but since they're going straight to Angoulême I'm not going to see them.

FML.

He already got one and it was glorious.

[CrichtonKicks]

If it's in the cosmic chart I haven't read it.

My shi'ar knowledge comes from 80s/90s x-men

And he was fabled back then remember when Gambit was going to be the third brother?

Slightly before the Cosmic Chart actually. Just after House of M, Ed Brubaker wrote a six issue limited series, X-Men: Deadly Genesis, that explains the story behind the third Summers brother. Then Brubaker starts his Uncanny run on a 12 issues arc titled "The Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire" that continues the story from Deadly Genesis.

More Batman 38 spoilers

Spoiler

I really hope the immortal stuff is true. It's a cool new take and, like you said, gets rid of the age-old "why doesn't someone do the world a favor and just shoot him" question. It also parallels nicely with Morrison's stuff about there having always been a Batman.

It may not work in the overall context of DC's 75+ history but I don't see why it doesn't work at least in the context of the New 52.

If Snyder backs off on this and the idea that Joker now knows Batman's identity by just saying this is a result of Fear Toxin or something then that just won't be satisfying to me.
