Bacchalo is back on WatXM? I figured he'd be back but Bradshaw knocked it out of the park. At least he gets the AvX arc.
I was okay with it for awhile but after the Fear Itself Avengers tie ins I never want to see a talking head panel again.

Bachalo is drawing the next four issues, then Bradshaw comes back for #12. Personally, I think they're both great artists and I'm glad to have both of them around.

Krokoa no like Captain America. Looks like they set the Danger Room to "flatscan" again
Loved the art design. Whose the artist and what is this comic called?

Chris Bachalo is a real love-em-or-hate-em guy, but I really enjoy this storytelling and his panel design, and he's got a wonderful sense of humor. I love his shorthand stuff, where he draws a head peaking out of panel to represent the character, or a bit too close-up on the Quinjet in the first panel, or the faces not being but all the way in the frame of the shot.

Bendis I actually enjoy though I have so much of his stuff to catch up on I have no idea if his quality has gone down recently. He is easily the John Hughes of comic writers though and a true modern day Stan Lee. His work on Ultimate Spider-Man, Alias, Avengers, Daredevil, and Powers were truly groundbreaking.
Geoff Johns on the other hand really upsets me. His early work for DC was phenomenal and exactly what I was looking for from making the JSA awesome and brining back Hal Jordan. Around the time of Infinite Crisis though it seems like he decided to stop writing well and decided to just write fan fiction for his favorites growing up. Now a days it seems like he just has some agenda (even after the reboot he's still bashing the JLI era for example and it almost seems like he has something against democrats)

Anyhow!
IVAN REIS HEROES CON!?
OH SWEET JESUS!
Does anybody that goes to cons know if he does sketches? I'd love to get a Dragon head shot from him. It would be as amazing as my Alan Davis Dragon. <3

YES.
Please stick with it. It took me until the second TPB before I really got what Carey was going for. And it's gotten progressively better and more amazing since.
Tastes to me like some insane stew of Sandman and Promethea, and I love it to pieces. My favorite current comic, along with Locke & Key (which you also should absolutely try out if you haven't yet).

Shit which Avengers is that gonna have start reading it again oh man
WatXM is so, so good. i hope the cross-over doesn't really affect it too much, it's the only marvel comic i read and i really don't care about the continuity and large-scale stories.
i want to buy some comic book frames to hang up a few Fables/Sandman issues I have, anyone got a good solution?
OK I'll give it some time soon.
Love Locke & Key, reading the 3rd arc now.

Sooooooooooooo I'm the only one huh?
Anyone else read Goon this week?
Favourite book of the week was Tiny Titans, which had a Take That at DC's relaunch:
MY BODY IS READY FOR THE NEW SUPERMAN FAMILY COMIC!
AW YEAH, SUPES!
@BenjaminBirdie-
Was there a new Orc Stain issue released this week or did you just read #7?

Wait I thought Greg Land was gonna be the artist on Avenging Spidey til #6? If Yu's the artist I'ma get dat ish~
Nah, he only got a one-shot. It'll be Rucka, Waid, and Chechetto on #6 for the Omega Effect crossover with Punisher and Daredevil.

and #7 is a team-up between She-Hulk and Spidey, written by Kathryn Immonen, drawn by Stuart Immonen. #8 is a EotE epilogue by Slott/Clark
Eventually Wells/Mad is coming back for an Elektra story, but until then it's just fun one-shots and the occasional crossover story.

One more has fallen. There are a lot of really good comics out there as long as you don't get stuck in the "i'm reading this to follow continuity even though it looks terrible" pattern...like i do on occasion.
Between "HD" comics and baldur's gate, i want an ipad Xo. Comixology doesn't work well at all on a touchpad. Ipads are so expensive though.
Avenging Spider-Man should be retitled " Random Spider-Man"

Pretty much.

Batman was really really good. That panel where Bruce has a tear running out of his mask was amazing. When Batman is crying... bro you know shit got too real.
Not read Nightwing yet but so far that book has been the definition of mediocre. Not bad enough to get me riled up like Justice League (which I guess is a kind of goodness in its own way), but not good enough that I remember anything about it either. I wish Snyder were writing Nightwing, he has such a great handle on the character.

protip - just read trades. Monthlies are for suckas (like me). You can then find out what books are actually good before getting halfway through an arc and realising you hate it.

Feh, I look forward to Higgins' Nightwing every month. This issue was a perfect climax to the Circus storyline.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I actually like Justice League so far. It's not mindblowing, but it's certainly not bad.
Snyder's Batman is better, no question, but JL has been pretty decent. Then again, I have a real soft side for Darkseid.
Is this confirmed? I love his art. He is a really good fit for that book.

I know, I've been fighting this for a while. Last read a comic in the early 2000s after Morrison left X-men (which left a sour taste in my mouth). I kept telling myself I was done and lost interest in the genre, but I was always curious. I would read up on Wikipedia or skim these threads to find out where my favorite heroes were at.
There will be few superheroes if any. I understand they're probably telling some good stories and I see Morrison, who was one of my favorite writers back in the day, is doing quite a bit with DC, but I just have little interest in it. I was a huge X-men fan and primarily a Marvel reader. I did the 30 day trial for Marvel a few months ago and the only new thing I read that I could tolerate was X-Force and barely that.
Not to sound pompous, because I'm really not, but spending the last 10 years reading books, watching incredibly good television and becoming a huge film snob, it's hard for me to read something that goes on and on without ever stopping, changing artistic teams, quality going up and down...just don't want to do that. I'd rather read a series with an end in sight and probably will stay away from superheroes.
That said, if I read any superhero it would be Batman. I always loved the character and wanted to read him, but DC comics were rare in my hometown growing up and to make matters worse we had a hardcore anti-DC mentality.
That's the plan. Plus, I can't believe monthly issues are starting at $3 now. I feel old in when I started they were $1.25. Six comics is a tank of gas.
Then again, back in the early 90s six comics were still 3/4 of a tank of gas.
But yeah, I see that tpb schedules are more hardcore than when I read - used to be six months sometimes before they came out, if not more. And the prices seem to be incredibly reasonable: I walked into the local comic store, first time in nearly 10 years I stepped foot into a shop, and bought the first three issues of NORTHLANDERS for $10. Then I found out the fucking trade that collects the first 7 is $10. :/
I have zero interest in collecting anymore. I have two longboxes back home (2000 miles away) and besides, I don't want to see the look on my wife's face when I bring home a long box. She already looked like she accidently married an Asberger's sufferer when I brought home the Northlanders.

I don't know, I thought the issue was an EPIC BAT-FAIL, personally.
It's feeling like its going to be a total EPIC BAT-FAIL, honestly.
Batman crying = textbook case of EPIC BAT-FAIL.
Why was Dick Grayson chosen to be a Talon? Well you see the Court of Owls like to mimic ancient antiquity and acrobats used to prance around gladiators, so you know, circus, acrobats, Dick, talon, Dick's Great-Grandfather, look stop thinking about it and just go with it ok?

Batman getting shit on every single issue is the primary reason I still buy Justice League despite it being only mediocre.
Anyone have any recommendations for (easy to buy) semi-serious sci-fi comics along the lines of Moebius or Paul Pope? Especially interested in digital version I could read on a tablet. I'd love to buy some Moebius stuff but nothing has been available in the US for yeeeears.

That's all you get. It's like you haven't been reading Snyder's setup at all.

Come on, just admit that you rolled your eyes or shook your head at that line. That's all I'm looking for here.
Setup? Are you taking about how a fat, balding, boxing coach was able to train someone to beat Batman to within an inch of his life? Or something else?

We're reading two different books I'm thinking. If you're going to pick on a New 52 book, it's not going to be Batman.
I feel like I've been trolled honestly.

How is it that you posted those two pages from the preview but not the next one, with the misconstrued homoerotic undertones?
