Yeah, I've had the latest Captain Marvel sitting in my pile for three weeks, getting pushed to the bottom again and again.

Don't know how much longer I can manage. I actually love the stories, but the art is just so anachronous.

I got one page into Batwoman #14 before putting it down. Black text on red backgrounds....might be artistically cool but please, no more :(
 
Duane S Cable run was not good at all. Somehow I kept reading in hopes of Bishop redemption but it made him out to be crazier and crazier every issue and he kept losing parts of his body until he looked like DC's Cyborg. Also fuck Hope Summers. She is just the worst.
 
Tony Moore's work in Ghost Rider really made me wish he had done all of Jason Aaron's run.

Is it okay to talk about older comics in here?
I just read Planetary and I absolutely loved it. I read the Absolute Planetary edition (got it from the library lol) and I'd like to buy it, but damn, why is the first one so expensive? Any word on a reprint?

Comics Alliance has DC's collected editions for March
http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/12/07/dc-comics-collected-editions-graphic-novels-solicitations-march-2013/

Absolute Blackest Night has been expanded but they're still missing the mark....

• Expanded to include BLACKEST NIGHT #0, BLACKEST NIGHT #1-8, UNTOLD TALES OF THE BLACKEST NIGHT #1, DC UNIVERSE #0, the BLACKEST NIGHT DIRECTOR'S CUT #1, and GREEN LANTERN #43-48 and 50-52!

Totally needs the issues of GL Corps. It doesn't read properly without it...
 
Does Amazon ever get release dates wrong for comics? It says the oversized Fear Agent edition doesn't come out until Christmas but Remender just tweeted that it is coming out next week. I checked Dark Horse's website and it says the release date is the 12th.

Direct market gets stuff before Amazon.

I'm glad they included the Green Lantern issues though, i can do without Corps despite
stewart coming in with a fleet of lanterns to save the day
will come from nowhere. It will still be a solid collection, even if i'm still not convinced to get it since i own the hardcovers of Blackest Night, Green Lantern BN, and the black lantern corps. I even skipped GL Corps for my collection :P

Annoying part of DC's march solicitations: Batman Inc isn't getting a deluxe hc right away to match the previous one. Guarantees i'm not getting it, especially since i am getting the singles so i can wait for OHC.

Also found some used copies of Top Ten vol 1 and 2 so i can better decide on Absolute Top Ten than blindly buying it.

From #1, #2, & #3. Whenever Land isn't doing... THIS FACE... it seems Tom Cruise is the go-to celebrity for tracing Tony's more serious faces.

FOUR ISSUES. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. ARE YOU. ONE AFTER THE OTHER. THAT FACE. THAT SAME FUCKING FACE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Can Gillen just go on strike? What can be done? Wat. WHAT. WHUUUUT.

Why is the mandarin waving? Where are his rings? What is going on? Dude should just trace RDJ, at least it would look better.

A part of me forces me to respect his grade A trolling.

They'll probably do one of the full run, like the did the previous volume.
 
Can I just say Scarlet Spider just doesn't get enough love from people? The preview for next week looks great.


I wish more people would read it. It is the best Spider book (possibly soon to be the only Parker as Spider book?). It is top tier fun comics. All you people dropping Iron Man like sane and rational art loving individuals: start picking up Scarlet Spider instead. Good can come of emigrating from Gregland.
 
I dropped it when they replaced Ryan Stegman with whoeverthefuck third-tier artist was. Khoi Pham, yeah, him.

I think that's Reily Brown there, from Incredible Herc. He's good.
 
Was there a time when I actually liked Dan Slott? I can't remember anymore. His Internet persona's combination of smugness and nanometer-thin skin is completely insufferable.

You are all SICK! :-P ASM #699 SPOILERS (Don't click if you haven't read #699 first)

So...
You read ASM #699, Page 8, Panel 5, and YOU walked away thinking:

Sex?!
Rape?!
Incest?!!

WHAT?! Where was THAT in the book?

It's a panel of a FULLY CLOTHED Aunt May in a wedding dress as she's about to KISS the reader.
She says that there's something she and her groom SHOULDN'T do before the wedding...

You know what a groom isn't supposed to do before the wedding? He's not supposed to SEE the bride.

SEE.

S-E-E.

And then we cut away BEFORE the kiss connects.

The next shot is of a closed door.

ANYTHING that happened BETWEEN the panels happened in YOUR OWN MIND.

Like a Rorschach test, YOU were reading into that scene with whatever baggage YOU brought with you.
Any icky/disgusting things that took place between Aunt May and Doc Ock (in Doc Ock's memories) were things that YOUR imagination came up with.

Shame on you. :-P

Any 8 year old kid who read that scene probably thought about how icky it'd be to be kissed by one of their old, wrinkly aunts.

What did YOU think happened there? :-/

ttyl ;-)
 
Gail Simone's painfully short run was great at that, too, making him a bit more well-rounded.

Since you forgot about his healing factor returning in Waypool, I'm going to assume you also forgot about the embarrassment that was the Sandi's battering boyfriend when you posted this.

Hey, he kicked that guy's ass! Because he actually cares about his friends!

I don't think this current Deadpool could be serious for more than 10 seconds to even think about that.

A guy who writes in a shared universe probably knows a thing or two about death of the author. Fuck his intent, what matters is that he wrote it this way, with those implications. That's not even the stupidest part of the issue. For my money, the one thing we should really get angry at is this :

This pseudo self-aware crud needs to go stat. It's the flimsiest fucking excuse to not have the plot go in a direction that makes sense. As if either the Avengers or the Fantastic Four never had their brains swapped with one of their enemies. As if somehow this was too goddamn stupid an occurence to be believable, when previously Slott has shown that people turning into actual goddamn spiders made complete sense. The guy's a fucking hack.
 
Like Dr. Doom really gives a flying fuck about some Americans getting killed

Yeah. That'll change dramatically just because of necessity of story. But I think for years to come the shadow of Peter Parker is going to be draped over the book. There's nothing you can do about that. But new cast members will come in. Life goes on. Peter Parker fans will sort of fade away over the months and years, and you'll have a bunch of people who only know the new cast. It's probably similar to what happened with Ben Reilly back in the day. And fans seem to want him back. - Wacker

RIP Peter Parker, 1962-2012
 
my library has the "Complete Ben Reiley saga" ive been reading it slowly I actually like Ben Reiley better than Peter. His 90s references and wisecracks are a nice touch.
