Been off the grid since last Wednesday, though I picked up some books:
- Hawkguy #4: I loves it so. Pulido's art is different, but I enjoy it. No match for Aja though. Can't wait for the next issue.
- All New X-Men #1: I like the setup so far.
- Deadpool #2: It's still stupid fun & I'm enjoying it immensely.
I plan on checking out CA, but Romita Jr.'s art can be off-putting for me so it's a toss-up ATM.
Definitely looking forward to Hickman's Avengers next month. :3

anyone hear read and watch the walking dead? curious how you felt about a major deviation from the comics
Don't watch the show but read the comics up until 80-something. Kind of interested in the third season, the prison stuff was by far the best part of the comic. Doubt they'll be able to make it as impactful and disgusting as the comic is.

they runied lori and the babys death. she dies by c-section
granted i ahve not seen watched it but reading it took some of my intrest in wanting to watch it. when it comes to major deaths they seem to cop out big time.
The govoner stuff seem to be up to par though

Man they are really nerfiing an already nerfed zombie story.
TTOB, I'll take some funny books off your hands bub.
HAHAHAHA, seriously? Way to make what was a genuinely shocking moment in the comic into something so lame.
re: governor [/spoiler]So he's torturing and raping Michonne on the show? No way they can get the conclusion to all that done in a way that compares. She destroys that dude.[/spoiler]

Epic foreshadowing and big sci-fi things happening. This is a Johnathan Hickman book, alright
Yep. Fucking sucks it's going to turn into artist grab bag like every other damn comic after that. Fucking sucks, bro. Get more and more sick of it it the more I read comics.

Yeah, Avengers is suppose to be biweekly so artist rotations are goooo
Luckily the artist rotation is actually...good. Kubert/Weaver/Deodato Jr? I can roll with that

Avengers :bow
I hope this outsells Uncanny Avengers by a factor of 10. No one asked for that broke ass concept.

What avengers is this? I've decreased my collecting to just two comics, walking dead and batman. I'm already down to add this series with just seeing that panel.
jonathan hickman's avengers, that will be written concurrently with his "new avengers" series.
if it is half as good as his fantastic four run, it will be amazing.

Aye. After his Fantastic Four/FF combo, his Avengers/New Avengers combo is must have comics in my eyes.
I thought the same of Remender's Uncanny, but it seems the whole concept may be flawed.

the delays dont help Uncanny avengers. this fisrt arc has a lot of promise if we ever see it.
Oh God, I'm losing track of the Avengers books. So there's four right? Vanilla, Uncanny, Secret, and Dark? Or are these just the Marvel NOW! ones?
New + those four would bring it up to Five, right?

Wait are the two avengers books gonna be an interweaving thing? People are making it sound like it's gonna resemble FF and fantastic four.

Same writer, don't be surprised.
there's also young avengers by gillen, i think it's gonna be a sexy teen romp or something.
hickman said these are going to be woven together, two sides of the same story. one life, one death /locke
young and the hickman duo are what i'll be reading

Add Gillen's Young Avengers to that, and you have what I'm betting on.

Avengers Arena...it better be good, all I'm saying.
For what it's worth, I dug DeConnick and Caselli's first issue (#9) of Avengers Assemble a whole bunch. It's pretty indebted to the movie (mainly Tony and Hulk as ~science bros~) but the humour is spot-on for that kind of book. It's almost as if DeConnick is channeling Bendis but she does the Bendis-isms way better than he does, weirdly enough.

As far as I can tell, Avengers Arena has nothing to do with Avengers other than featuring a few former cast members of Avengers Academy, and is using the name purely to boost sales.
(It's also a book apparently premised on killing off teen characters, including a number of established B- and C-listers, on a semi-regular basis, which is pretty close to a fundamentally irredeemable premise in my eyes no matter how good the actual writing is, but I'm trying not to judge it before the first issue or two ships.)
His last one (#22, I think?) has one of the worst Captain America moments in recent history. Because apparently Ellis thinks he's an american, and therefore totally okay with torture because it really works you guys. And that soured a lot of it. But otherwise it's great.

Avengers Academy leads into Avengers Arena storywise.

Got back from my trip today and read Hickman's FF up to "Three". I want to say this felt like the first act of Hickman's run, really amazing ideas here that make me excited for his Avengers run. I'll also keep my faith in Remender in Uncanny Avengers, a lot of quick judgments here based on only one released issue. I feel that UA is like the spiritual successor to UXF, also I read on twitter that some left over ideas Remender had in UXF will come in fruition, like
Pestilence pregnant with Archangels baby.

So I'm trying to get caught up on Spidey....
Jesus Christ-"Spider-Island" fucking sucks.
And the art in Venom is atrocious.

Fuck, I always miss comic code giveaways...
Avengers Assemble is pretty fun in the "my favorite super heroes together against evil!" category. Don't skip it unless the thing about not affecting continuity bothers you.

Stormdogs - euro spelling of tons. >:O
I nearly had an aneurysm in my bed last night.
Fortunately I wasn't enthralled by the issue so I will not be continuing.

No, it doesn't. I read the last few issues; there's no set-up there.
Dangerous to post that round here. I read Spider-Island and Children's Crusade back to back, nearly died. The only thing i liked about Spider-Island was Mary Jane's parts and the last wrap up issue which actually had some touching moments and charm that were completely missing during the rest of the event.
"mystery" spider villain being captain america made me make some audible noise of disgust when reading.

When I get home I can check what other comics have digital codes I haven't used. I just starting my collection and only have a few. I think Uncanny Avengers has a code.
I'll PM it to you in a few hours.
