Yeah, I can see how that would be an issue. They also kept trying to get the New Warriors involved, which I can't imagine that anyone wanted.

Up to issue #24 of Priests run on Black Panther.
And I'm kinda bored of it. And I don't like the exposition heavy writing style either. Not sure I should continue. Liked the first couple of arcs but everything afters been mostly meh.

That was something. I need to re-read this series, because I got no fucking clue. Although, at the end they say volume one is releasing. So wait, is there going to be more after this run? They have potential, so it's not unfounded. Either way, this was most certainly a book that elicited feelings from me. What kind? I'm unsure.
Weavers #2
This book is pretty good still. Supernatural gang war is always dope. Creepy shit, though.
Sonic Mega Drive #1
This book was funny as hell. Very charming. FUCK YOU FOR MAKING ME WAIT UNTIL FALL FOR MORE OF IT. YA BASTARDS.
Venom: Space Knight #9
This book is great. It keeps changing where it's going and I love it!
Moon Knight #4

I'm really curious about female Venom. Didn't one of Venom's "seeds" from way back in the day bond to a female?

Just read it (a bit late, I know). Alright issue, but they've really got to stop overusing the venom sting thing to solve EVERYTHING. Also, having them kidnap Miles because he's "bad for business" is kind of a crummy excuse since we have basically haven't seen him do anything related to them. Additionally I'm not liking them making Jefferson a SHIELD agent again, I'd prefer his parents to just be normal.
But it finally seems like there's an original story developing (finally) with that blogger (though I don't know how good that's gonna be). Or it did, until I got to the preview page and it said they're going into Civil War next issue.
Is it too much to ask for a coherent, standalone, original story that goes on for more than two issues? We had plenty of those in the early days of Ultimate. $!@# you Marvel, $!#$ you.

I didn't know that Slapstick and Solo were Deadpool villains.
They aren't.
They are in those books no?
Fine, Deadpool characters. Doesn't make it any better.

Good question. It was my second lowest selling book of last month at 7K. Wouldn't be surprised if Spurrier moved on.

Maybe they'll look at representation when those books sell 10k combined at launch
One would hope.
Mercs for Money was basically the first time Solo and Slapstick were even associated with Deadpool with the joke being that it's a team of d-list killers. All three characters had their own series in the 90s with this basically be revivals for the characters.
I agree with Ms. America not getting a series though.
Well I don't know where Slapstick is from but I'm pretty sure Solo originated in a Spider-Man book in the late 80s. His name is James Bourne lol. Honestly I'm surprised he's even back, that dude's been gone for a while.

Slapstick came from Slapstick. His #1 was his first appearance.
Yeah just checked. No one here is a deadpool originated character.
Not really what I meant. They are using Deadpool as a springboard for these characters. These are the same characters who were all in different colored Deadpool outfits a few months ago. 3 of them getting books over some other characters is kind of sad.

The stats on Marvel Now! 2.0 characters and creators. They're not pretty and I'm really pissed off about everything like no LGBTQ characters or solo books for them.
Comic shop owners also look to be pissed.
Tynion offers advice.

read the issues of Extraordinary X-Men on MU (first five) and it's so rote and average. There are moments that should feel big and important but executed so flatly, which is that Marvel Lemire effect I guess, coupled with the "feared and hated" status quo that i'm already bored with. Ramos's art is pretty nice, though.
All New Wolverine is pretty okay though. Kinda hate the costume and the idea of the Wolverine mantle being a role that needed to be filled is still weird to me but the book is alright. David Lopez is good, too.
If these are the best the X-Men line has to offer though, then lmao RIP X-Men

Old Man Logan and All-New Wolverine are the best X titles. I prefer OML more but enjoy both titles.
The rest of the X-books are just... bad.

Is Moasaic confirmed to be straight? Or is Mosaic out of the classification since he can change into every person he wants to?
But I really don't know anything about most of the new characters as I don't read that much. What about the new Wasp? Is she also confirmed to be straight?

If I was to pick up anything tomorrow it would be Teen Titans and Nightwing.
Woah that is quite the discount on Black Panther. Would I enjoy it?
gotcha
art doesn't hold up,story is great.
Worth the deal if you don't have MU.
Yeah I see that the art is questionable.

Waiting on the Marvel stuff I'm following to be digitally collected so nothing from me there but on the DC side I'm getting Action Comics, Detective Comics, Society, Flash, New Super-Man, Nightwing Rebirth, Wacky Raceland and Wonder Woman. Might wait a few days to buy most things aside from Nightwing, WW and 'Tec.
Oh, new avatar for me now even if it's kinda shitty quality.
Chip Zdarsky should be embarrassed to have turned in his cover
I really hope he did the colors also as I don't want to believe a colorist would be happy with that work. Jordi Bellaire is spinning in her grave.
Damn you going hard this week

I really like that Kirkman gave TWD a spread cover just because it was Adlard's 100th issue. Dude has never heard a real human speak, but he's got class I'll tell ya.

So I've been reading Deadpool and Cable: Split Second since MU finally has the whole series up. My favorite comic series of all time is Cable & Deadpool, and so I was excited for the creative team to come back. But I'm through four issues, and it's downright dreadful. Deadpool is more of the modern Waypool than he was in the original run, the changes to Cable makes him really uninteresting in this series, and the future stuff kinda seems really heavy handed to this point. After starting on the truly excellent Spiderman/Deadpool series that seemed like a direct sequel to Kelly's original run in quality, this just seems really off.
Also, are all the DC books going biweekly now? Was thinking about reading the new Nightwing series but biweekly is not my preferred release format.

You accidentally got some Valiant books on your list. Those titles are banned in this thread.

hnmm,, I really liked Gaydo's art in The Black Hood
Uncanny X-men #1 was...ok. Just a setup issue but I like the idea. Land's art wasnt terrible or anything, it hust has that Land-stink to it, particulary the faces (Monet espevially). I liked the look of the villains at the end. So do we even know why Warren is brain-dead, was that a pre-SW thing? Last I remember from him was he was normal Angel with no memories?
Totally Awesome Hulk #2 - what a fun book. Alien lady turns out to not be evil aftetall, Fin Fang Foom shows up, Hulk and Miles have some cool chemistry between them (Champions is gonna be fun), the art is gorgeous, really enjoying this series.

It's legit a comic daytime soap and I'm okay with that.
