Demon Knights! It's one of my favorite of the Nu52. Especially if you've got the full current run --read through it and enjoy Vandal Savage's awesomeness.

I dropped Res. Man after 5, I think. It was kinda shit as I didn't particularly care for the characters, plot, or art.

Yeah, it's all new 52 that I have. Guess I'll start it tonight, probably finish it around 8 if its good.
 
Amazing Spidey #691 - that mini arc ended well but didn't amount to much for me.

Walking Dead #101 - surprisingly liked it a lot, my favorite character is still
Carl. His exchange with Sophie was bleak but endearing. I hope Kirkman doesn't kill either off. TV Carl can die asap though.
 
Dat Opena art is fantastic. One of my favs these days. The colors look just fine, and do compliment his work as someone mentioned.

Stormwatch issue 0 was actually pretty good. I saw that it was getting crapped on with reviews, but I liked it. I'm going to start reading Demon Knights now, lol.

Green Lantern 0 was pretty good. I liked the Epilogue, so ready for GL #13.

Swamp Thing and Animal Man 0s were alright. Big focus on Arcane and I'm not really a fan of that. Too similar I thought.


Earth 2 0 was okay. Just okay. I can't really say too much with out spoilers.

Dial H 0 was funny, I liked how the avatar was totally out of place. Elaborating on the way powers work was done in a really cool way.

I think that's all the 0s I read this week...

I really have been preferring World's Finest to Earth 2. World's Finest #0 was really good (for someone who doesn't have a whole lot of experience with young power girl and huntress).

Demon Knights is amazing. I love the feel of the book.

I haven't read Worlds Finest yet, I guess after Demon Knights and Resurrection
Man I can dive in. It is one of those comics that I just don't hear a lot about, sort of like Resurrection Man.


E: Yeah, Demon Knights.. so good. Four issues in.

Gotta say I'm loving both Earth-2 books. The PG/a huntress relationship used to be one of my faves in comics, and it's nice to see it brought back to light.


And yeah Demon Knights has been great throughout, and now Stormwatch with its direct connections is elevated by the contact. Helps that Milligan obviously really loves the gig.

Was this posted yet? Love me some Garney.
 
I can confirm using my knowledge of all thing L'gann that Lagoon Boy was not in this weeks issue of Earth 2 but one of the beasts they were fighting.
 
Finished #12 of Demon Knights, it was pretty good. I didn't seem to like it as much as you guys but it was pretty good.

Next up: Resurrection Man followed by World's Finest.
 
The writing has been on the wall for months, but that's as clear a confirmation we got so far. He's wrapping up the Brotherhood/Kid Apoc plot thread up a bit in X-Force, and he's taking his future storylines to other books(Dr. Mind Bubble/Weapon Plus in Captain America, the Acaba clan/Apocalypse in Uncanny Avengers)
 
Prediction: Frankenstein's last issue is in December, the last part of its Rotworld tie-in, presuming that those three issues don't see a large increase in sales.

Frankenstein #11 and 12: Liked it, though i started reading 12 before 11 since i forgot i didn't read that yet Xo. If the first arc turned you off i'd give it another chance as it was a bit too shallow compared to the later issues.

I really thought those brahs were going announce Wave 4 yesterday. GL was chill, new this brah was going to be from Deerborn. Black SpodermAn, want to see him face new villains instead of old white spiderman ones.
 
God the X-books are all completely fucked post-AvX.

I'm just glad WatX remains in tact. Everything else is getting too weird for me.
Click to expand...

Yeah but the quality of WatXM has been garbage since the AvX banner has been on it. It's going to be a tough fight to get some of its momentum back after this stupid event is over.
 
Lol, multiple X-Forces but without the only good X-Force writer. I bet it will go back to the shallow snuff comic/ torture porn that was Kyle and Yost's run. Plus some shitty Cable and Deadpool "antics"

It has dipped since AvX started due to crossover bullshit but the latest issue was EXCELLENT.
 
Multiple X force titles? With Way and Hopeless. LOL
I don't want to see Punisher running a damn team with D list talent, just announce what Gillen is working on already and the creative team behind Squirrel Girl.

Shit was way hopeless before these announcements. :\

I had no idea we came so close to losing Jason Pearson:

It has to feel right.

Before Joe Peacock interrupted me from committing suicide last December, that sentence, despite my drunken state, screamed repeatedly at me. It is, in truth, why I'm still alive. It screamed louder than my depression, my anger, my hate. Nine months since, I have only just begun to discover how much that statement has haunted my existence. In every step that I have taken throughout my life, those five words have permeated every decision in regard to life and love, death and consequence. Art and story has simply been my feeble, human attempt to explain.

D:

Thank Zod friends and family intervened.

Now he's on his way out of his slump and will hopefully get more Body Bags out soon. If I had to draw shitty Marvel characters like Deadpool all the time I'd want to kill myself too.

My next Body Bags arc entails sudden revelations about Mack and Panda's approach in life and the true nature of their relationship. The first story is simply titled "Vicious". It is to showcase Mack in his most truest of appearances as he dismantles a kidnapping ring single-handily. The next story, a mini-series, is tentatively called "Black Viking", where Mack and Panda must kill an old friend.

I would love to say these stories are done and will be in your hands next month but the truth is I just started laying out the storyboards. Sadly, I am not independently wealthy and will need your help to produce these projects. I am worth 200 dollars right now and bills don't stop coming because I found my 'path'. A lot of idiots are resorting to Kickstarter and I, the biggest idiot of them all, will probably have to as well. Although, it should be my last option.

Please help me. Help me with your patience as I still owe some people artwork and with your love as some of you would like to own a piece of my mind. Contact Mike Alexandropoulous at MoreGreatArt.com.

My wallet is ready!
 
What is happening to Legacy and Adjectiveless? Legacy has been as rote and pointless as can be with Gage on it but Adjectiveless has finally gotten readable (and not in an ironic "wow, how bad can this possibly get" way) since B.Wood got on it.

Honestly it might just be time to stop reading for a couple months again until there's a better picture of what the status quo is going to look like.
 
Brian Wood/Lopez are leaving for some other scrubs, while Legacy is going be this Legion book or something

Abandon all hope, he who enters here.

*hops on Avengers bandwagon*

Lol, Legion. He had maybe 2 or 3 good stories since the 80s - and he wasn't even the main character in them - and somehow he can now be the lead on a book.

It also sucks that Avengers seemed to have poached all the most boring X-dudes. Havok, Sunspot and Cannonball are the ones you really wanted to take? Smh.

Come on brah, his story needs to be told.

If they get Jason Aaron on X-Force I would be all over it.

Yo, this is a great idea. He seems like he'd make a great fit post-Remender and I'd continue to pick the book up with him at the helm.

Wait, you think Cannonball is one of the boring X-Dudes?
 
Its so funny to see the pretty strong dynamic that Schism brought about get so totally fucked by an event I'm not entirely sure anyone wanted. Maybe Marvel felt bad about the X-books diminished importance in Marvel as a whole, and rather than let their rejiggered existence breathe, staple them to the 1.5 billion earning Avengers property.

X-Force sounds like it isnt going to make any sense post Remender unless its a villain/anti-hero book (Cyclops, Magneto, Cable, Deadpool), Bendis' thing just seems like treading water while they have no idea what to do with all other X-Men, Legacy sounds kinda interesting but doomed to spin-off status as ever. WatXM is really the only book going forward that has any solid core to it, and I guess Uncanny Avengers even though that's existence seems unnecessary anyway.
 
The X-books have always been in their own little universe, but Marvel is definately trying to unify their books with these crossovers and character movement. AvX and Uncanny Avengers is about as obvious as it gets. What's next? Hulk-Factor? Journey Into Gambit?
 
We're about to live in a world where Uncanny X-Men doesn't come out anymore, and Bendis fanfic idea is the flagship title.

I think that about says it all, folks.

We did have Hulk Factor when PAD was writing She-Hulk along with X-Factor :(

Since he quit 90s X-Force, yeah. When he went back to the X-Men he suddenly became a total noob and has been that generic yes-man/good-guy with no thoughts of his own since then. Most of the New Mutants and former X-Forcers are like that too, though.
 
Brian Wood's adjectiveless run so far has been great.

As long as I get David's X-factor and WatX, I'm good post AvX. I'm also looking forward to finally having a good writer write Rogue (my favorite x-character).
