So I was looking at stuff to spend my gamestop reward points on and they have "Batman: The Killing Joke Graphic Novel" added now. The thumbnail has a "limited edition" tag, but I don't see why. Looks like the regular graphic novel to me.
Bendis' All-New X-Men -- For the most part this run is good. Vol 1-5 and The Trial of Jean Grey are all pretty dope, especially the Trial. Vol 6 is pure filler and Vol. 7 is just a flop of an ending)
Spurrier's X-Force -- This run is fucking great all the way through. Pure and unadulterated scumbaggery coupled with over the top insanity. Goddamn is this run so much fun.
Rucka's Cyclops -- Pretty much young Scott and Corsair having father/son bonding space adventures. The book is short, having only two trades. Rucka does the first and Layman does the second. Rucka's run is straight gold all the way through. Layman's isn't bad by any means, but it's simply not as strong. It's still pretty fun, but it's Rucka's run that really makes this book shine.
Spider-Man and the X-Men -- This is a really fun book involving Spider-Man teaching the delinquent class at the Jean Grey School after Wolverine dies and requests Peter to find a mole within the school. The class in question consists entirely of students that Logan had pegged as possible suspects. It's really fun with a bunch of crazy adventures, and also a lot of heartwarming moments. It's a pretty short book, capping somewhere between 8-12 issues, but it's still a lot of fun and I highly recommend it.
Current ongoings:
X-Men '92 -- Really fun book that's basically an homage to the cartoon while also poking fun at that era. It starts as a Secret Wars mini, which is amazing, and then became a current ongoing. I don't think the ongoing is as strong as the Secret Wars book, but it's still pretty fun.
holding off on buying games & comics for a little bit - gonna build my PC soon

once that's done, there's a ton of games i want to try out: Planet Coaster, Forza Horizon 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, etc
thanks, i'll give these a shot
Uncanny is better than all new and both crossover heavily in the first arc or two

Build looks good man. That i7 is hefty but will last you for sure. Only brand I don't recognise is the heatsink but thats a great build. Fractal make really nice mini cases, I had the node 304.
I would be very surprised if GR2 doesn't get delayed into 2017.
thanks, i want to knock it out of the park under 1.5k and i think i got it
a little nervous about working in a small case for my first build, but i heard it's not too bad
Don't say that! There's been enough delays recently.
This would be terrible since I'm much more amped for gr2 than tlg but both their exclusives in December haha
For the budget I'd say it's practically perfect man. You should be okay with the smaller case, especially since you went with the modular psu, will give you a lot more space
Are you grabbing a monitor too or is it going in the front room/on a tv?
Really looking forward to both. Hopefully they don't get pushed back.
Okay, I finally watched Civil War. Solid movie, but overall, my big takeaway from the film is that oh my lord Marisa Tomei looks amazing.

You're going to feel super weird playing on your PC over your PS4 or Xbox, but eventually you throw your reservations out the window and become comfortable with it.
i have no desire to OC for a long time. i like my machines running cool & quiet.

between the PS4 Pro underwhelming me & X1 putting their exclusives on PC it was a real no brainer for me to go NX/PC going forward.
Righty-o sorry for the late response but here's the reading order for the current TF series
1- Last Stand of the Wreckers
2- Transformers: Chaos Theory (only the last half of the book is important, the first half you can ignore)
3- More than Meets the eye vol. 1-3
4- Transformers: Dark Prelude
5- MTMTE Vol. 4-5
6- Dark Cybertron
7- Rest of MTMTE
I'm already thinking NX is a mistake and they haven't even announced it yet.
Destiny Rise of Iron is the only game I'll be buying this year.

Did anyone like Batgirl/BoP #2? or was it just me?
i already like having a 'pick up and play' tablet laying around the house. that it can play native new Nintendo games only solidifies my interest.
we'll see how the reveal goes.

I prefer my tablets to have comics on them.
Batgirl opinions have been really up and down, so fingers crossed Birds OF Prey shakes out.
The weird thing about that book is that it seems to make the Batgirl standalone superfluous.
It says in the description that it has changes to the cover. GS only gets exclusive variant covers.So I was looking at stuff to spend my gamestop reward points on and they have "Batman: The Killing Joke Graphic Novel" added now.

Damn, top 30 books in august, 1 to Image, 3 to Marvel, 26 to DC. The Rebirth sheen will wear off but still pretty cray.

It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. DC had such success at first with Nu52, but that fell apart fairly quickly. It seems like they've been a bit smarter with Rebirth in terms of staggering launches more, holding off on some books for a second wave. Twice a month, which I thought would fail, seems to be working well for them
You put way too much work into this."Do you understand? I don't want to fire you. I don't want either of us to end up harassing the other.
But we're both running out of back stock space...and we both know it.
Maybe it all hinges on tonight. Maybe this is our last chance to sort this numbers mess out.
If you don't preorder it, then we're locked onto a smaller stock.
Both of us. To the register.
It doesn't have to end like that. I don't know what it was that bent your life out of shape, but who knows? Maybe I'be been there too.
Maybe I can help.
We could work together. I could retrain you. You needn't be out there on the floor anymore. You needn't be alone.
So when you ask about preorders, what does the customer say?"
"No I'm sorry but...no. It's far too late for that. Far too late.
Hahaha you know it's funny...This situation reminds me of a slogan

That's crazy. Glad they were able to get that bomb out of there. But what is this about Kamandi? I haven't heard anything about it. I hope Adams isn't writing in addition to drawing.
This probably. Had almost forgot it.
