There's also a deep dislike for Aaron's WatXM based on Broo, Idie and Quentin's entries.

Rachel Summers should be top 10, and screw regular Angel where's my blue skinned angel of death Archangel?! Crap list is crap.
And what the hell, if Rahne can be listed where are Strong Guy and Madrox?

I asked before and didn't notice if anyone chimed in.
Did anyone read Gail Simone's kickstarter project, Leaving Megalopolis? I can't seem to find a copy to buy either digital or hard. Curious to know if it's worth tracking down or if anyone knows where to buy it.

Yeah he's on JL Dark for the long run.

Amethyst? BACK ON BOARD.
All kinds of goodies in that: Amythest, Etrigan, the Spectre, Swampy with Aquaman's trident, Aquaman's hand in the water, what looks like Ophidian wrapped around Constantine, the entirely of the Trinity of Sin, the cat looks like the totem from the Red in Animal Man that hangs out with Maxine. Pretty intrigued by this.

Oh, I didn't even notice Socks there. Is that Socks? I'd be all right with a Frankenstein and Socks team-up.

Haha, oh Morrison. Such a writer, you are! So convincing with your mouth full of lies. I've been working in child care for over 7 year. You have no idea how many questions I get about superheroes and how they work.

Done and done.
Apologies. I simply could not resist.
Read an arc, take a break by reading something else, then come back for the next one?
the fuck
e: wait so this is like an attempt to give the cbr x-boards a collective aneurysm, awesome
Maybe i can alternate between the books i need to get caught up on. I'm almost there, 8 issues of Hawkeye, Batman 21 onward, 14 issues of Wonder Woman, 17 issues of Manhattan Projects.....then East of West and Lazarus from the beginning.

If you read comics so infrequently, why not just get the trades next time? It would solve the pacing problem.

A little late to the Bendis party, but GotG is pretty bad whereas as All-New X-Men is pretty amazing, despite both having little to terrible plotting and being filled with mostly 2-dimensional dialogue exchanges. The difference is that the exchanges between the original X-Men are actually entertaining and shed a lot of light on who they are and how they are adapting to being flung into our present. I can name a dozen great interactions (nothing tops Havok/Cyke bro hug). With GotG, I can't name a single interesting exchange. In fact, all I remember is that Rocket Raccoon has been reduced to shouting "I murdered you!" or something to that effect, and I think Iron Man slept with Gamora for some reason?
I was a huge fan of DnA's GotG and have been really disappointed with Bendis's version. If I didn't know the characters beforehand, I wouldn't even know what their powers are. Seriously, what does Angela do? Is she just a white-skinned stripper-ific version of Gamora (who ironically lost her skimpy outfit)? Gah, don't even get me started on fights where everyone is pretty much the same with no interesting use of pacing and powers. See early Uncanny X-Men for a primer on how to do fights (#112 and #113, X-Men vs. Magneto in a Volcano!).

It looks like Socks to me and I can't imagine any other random cats it could be.
I was going to say the same thing. Gold Balls ranks higher than Genesis. Gold Balls is not even a real character. He is just a joke repeated ad nauseum.
My problem is solely due to buying way more books than i end up reading per month. There's just too many good comics! At least i managed to drop the stuff i liked the least. Amazing X-Men is the next to go.

Think I got a good deal...most of the auctions I've seen have a ridiculous buy it now or that one that's been trying to sell just the folder signed for a long while now.

Well, I finally decided what I wanted to buy after getting my Animal Man omnibus and Hellboy Library Edition pricing error orders cancelled.
Just placed my order for the X-Statix omnibus for $35 new (paid partly with a $15 gift card I had) and I'm very excited. It'll be my first omnibus too. I figured my first ought to be a big one. Haha

He might do, but unless it's relevant to the story being told why would we see it? Comics are decompressed enough as is, no need to give them excuses to stretch that further by including all sorts of banal minutiae to explain inconsequential things.

WatXM #40 was a lot of fun. Some nice moments with the students as well as with Cyclops and Wolverine. I'm gonna miss Aaron on the book.

I have 'Leaving Megalopolis'. I don't think it has been made available outside of Kickstarter yet. Gail's last update indicated there are still near one hundred books to be shipped to backers. The digital edition is also still being finalised for release. I wouldn't expect it to be available until at least after the .pdf has been emailed to backers.
It's a fantastic book though, one that I highly recommend to fans of Gail's stellar Secret Six run. Beautifully illustrated and printed on high quality paper. It was definitely worth the wait and it seems there is also more to come:
I can take a few photos if you want to see the finished product.

Rat Queens #5 should be out mid-February, either the 12th or the 19th. It's in my OT.

Do it! You won't look back. I wasn't entirely familiar with Aquaman before DC's New 52 relaunch, but Johns' run was a fantastic starting point.

Speaking of the 19th, the first trade of Simone's Red Sonja comes out on the 19th along with issue #7. I think I'll wait until then to get into it as I don't feel like picking up six back-issues at $3.99 ea. along with tomorrow's books.

New DC teaser:
Mikael, over at CBR, has found the source of inspiration for the teaser: Michelangelo's 'The Last Judgement'.
From wikipedia: "It is a depiction of the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity. In the centre of the lower section are the angels of the Apocalypse who are wakening the dead to the sound of long trumpets. On the left the risen recover their bodies as they ascend towards heaven, on the right angels and demons fight over making the damned fall down to hell. Below this detail is Charon, leading the damned into hell where they are greeted by Minos, whose body is wrapped in the coils of the serpent."
It appears Zatanna is playing the role of Charon, the Justice League Dark and Co; the damned and Constantine; Minos. The serpent coiled around Constantine's body looks suspiciously like one of Larfleeze's constructs.

Wtf? I didn't see that listed in the solicits either but when I go to previewsworld they do have it listed for the 19.
I also didn't see Legeds of Red Sonja or Red Sonja listed in the Dynamite solicits but LoRD is listed on previewsworld for February, as well.

I'm a pretty big fan of Aquaman in the new 52, really like the character. I have all the trades, and it's a lot of fun. Just finished vol 3 the other day and it was awesome. If you like Johns stuff I'm sure you'll dig it.
