If Deathstroke had been a monthly I think I would have dropped it. It was actually smart as hell to make it a double ship.

Will be really interesting to see the sales when Johns comes on Aquaman for the arc he'll co-write. Probably next year?

Mmm, the longer double shipping goes on, the more I think it's going to bother me. Like Superman vol 1 which has been received super well, the first 7 issues of the run. In the 7 issues there's 3 different artists and it's not even like they run in blocks. It's like Mahnke then Gleason for two issues then Jimenez,then back to Gleason, then Mahnke, then back to Gleason lol. And this is the Rebirth issue then a six parter, not shorter stories. I'd at least be down with blocks like the Gleason issues being in a row or whatever. Icjust find it really offputting, and I'm not sure it's worth the trade off for me personally. That's going to be different for everyone, but I think I'm going to find it more enticing if the book is monthly.

Is it? I was expecting about ten more issues for the final year of the book. I bet it wraps early next year. Maybe even over a year from now since they'll pack a break or two in there.
Year Two ends with #29 right? 30? So they need to get a bit more meat on Year Three before it all ends.
I thought east of west was ending next year. Didn't Hickman confirm 42-45 issues?
Maybe it was next year.
I really hope this is good and King doesn't fumble the story.
Also Batman is looking a bit beat up. I wonder who gave him the works this time.
Yea. Did low start back yet?
Yeah, the worst thing about the double shipping books is how often the artist changes. It's really unfortunate.

Geoff Johns wrote the story, I think King is just doing the script.
Phew. My hope for a good story is rising.

Wows, Spurrier has done it again. Godshaper is freaking killer good. LOVE. And through following Spurrier's work, I am really learning the difference an artist makes. An artist's style can really elevate Spurrier's writing, as Goonface does here. Goonface, y'all. The dude's name is as cool as his art.
Hype intensifiesNo...

She is also LGBT, apparently.
Perfect for a Star Wars thing then!

This time-travelling posts thing is quite irritating.

Apparently it's a timestamp glitch involving posts that are sent close together.
Edit: Like that...

Don't you remember Secret Wars? That's probably the timeline ours is colliding with right now.

This is the darkest timeline because sillymonkey changed his name
We missed out on so many good OTs.
Yeah. C-3PO (but cooler!), R2 (but cooler!), and Chewbacca (but cooler!).

Time has seen our faces, and time, time never forgets....
They were so overdone after the first arc. Hope they all die soon.
I would have been cool with him if he wouldnt have been introduced as Boba Fetts sidekick. It was then a just to on the nose dark mirroring of the original cast. I am so happy that he was his own thing afterwards.
Still, will be happy when he is killed of.
If they needed big muscle for Aphra would have been cooler to give her a Lasat or some new species.

Finally finished Johns' JSA run today- loved it.
Tried to buy the Infinite Crisis omnibus earlier but it's out of print everywhere.

Finished East Of West vol 6 earlier, which puts me up to #29. Yea, pretty awesome. Again, no idea where it's going or how things will go, but great fun book. I never feel super attached to the characters in Hickman's books but the worlds, the worlds are amazing places to be for awhile.
You guys are making me think about trying Star Wars comics again. I've resisted so far but every time there's a big thing like the SW Celebration or a trailer released and everyone goes Star Wars gaga, I think about it.
Watched Fantastic Beasts. Pretty cool movie. Feel like I was just a little too old when the Harry Potter books came out to be a Potter kid so most of it bypassed me, especially anything past book 4, but that was a cool movie. Not perfect, but a good time, and actually dealt with slightly more mature subject matter than I expected. Only complaint is they didn't do a good job of explaining who
is earlier on for the uninitiated for it to mean more later. Rogue One up next.

They're basically the Those Two Guys of ComicGAF, so in Star Wars terms, they would be Tag & Bink.
Still reading The spire but read Godshaper has a great start and Spurrier is great at making creative worlds. It;s now on my list to read.I wish i payed more attention especially after reading his X-force and Legacy. Though it's probably because i got lost reading bodies lol.
