This weeks comic purchases will be
Aquaman
Batman The Dark Knight
Flash
Superman
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man
Ultimate Comics Ultimates

My poor wallet, this months comics have not been kind, mainly DC with all of their series reboots. I've also got a feeling I missed an issue of Venom, so there's more!

The Comedy Company is sociologically very important. Kylie Mole is the reason bogans aren't called bevans in Brisbane anymore.

Dude can you explain to me this reboot? As a rarely-to-never reader of comics, it is crazily confusing.
Is it a full clean slate for DC? Like do past histories no longer exist? Because that seems like a pretty big kick in the nards to fans. What did DC do with storylines that were ongoing before? Just bail?
Lol, that does me no kind of good.Gazunta said:
My solution to being in a flux of depressant / stimulant intake has been to go to a small coffee shop and order a latte and the first thing I've had to eat today. I think... I will go to a bar soon.
I'm closest to central but I kinda don't like the atmosphere there. Anyone got a better Hobart bar?
It's a sort of reboot. Some characters are rebooted completely (Wonder Woman, again), some aren't because their current storylines have taken years to set up and the creators are on a roll (Batman, Green Lantern), some are in a maybe-sortof-yes-no-depends-on-how-you-read-it flux (Superman).
And we have no Powergirl WTF
Edit: The reboot is a bit of a mess, not as bad as it could have been but still done in a really crap way that pleases nobody in particular. People who don't read comics now aren't more likely to walk into a comics store and spend however many dollars on super hero pamphlets if they weren't interested a month ago. DC's push towards digital is again a halfway step that doesn't please many people - for digital comics, they're over priced, and they're still pissing off retailers who are losing customers left right and centre.
In my mind the reboot should have been about the market, not the content - they should have just gone all free to the web. From a corporate point of view DC is just an idea / merchandise potential factory for the Warner Brothers movie / game / licensing departments, so who cares?

lol. Thanks for the smile on a bad day Gaz.Gazunta said:
You can buy cherry Kooka's while others can't. Surely that makes your day better as well?reptilescorpio said:
PS. ODST bort. Sadly, not sealed but hopefully not 7-day rented. Still, for $28 hopefully it provides an FPS-like experience that errs on the side of story rather than just blasting shit.

My 8th grade English teacher still called them bevans back in '98. When was the Comedy Company on?ClivePwned said:

Gaz summed it up pretty well. Some of the comics are restarting, some of them are kinda restarting and some others remain untouched. It's a bit of a cluster fuck for continuity, but then comic book continuity has always been a cluster fuck!
There are 52 #1 issues this month, so hardcore collectors will be broke next month.
Also, on top of all that Ultimate Marvel did some what of a reboot, titled "Ultimate Comics Universe Reborn".
Ultimate Spider-Man is starting again at #1, but retaining all previous continuity. They are doing this because

They are also starting another run of The Ultimates, which is the Ultimate Marvel name for the Avengers, as well as a new Ultimate X-Men and some other limited runs like Ultimate Hawkeye and Ultimate Fallout.

I am now only slitting open the plastic wrappings of the Discovery box cds, across the cd side. I feel weird.

Went to the local Coles on a hunt for Kooka's, left bitter and disappointed.

This thread is going to be interesting.
And i do agree with them
Theyre full of shit. Uncharted hasnt changed since the first one, Skyward Sword seems to have implemented as many changes as they can whilst still being a Zelda game.
At the end of it all, the only thing they seem to say is "lol nintendo is for kiddies/no HD graphics".
ie the same anti-nintendo fanboy bullshit that has been the norm since 1996.

Well I can't agree with them because the game isn't out yet!
Twilight Princess not being "graduated" though, that I agree with. If Skyward Sword is the same thing again consider me very disappointed. Doesn't help that I just replayed OOT on 3DS as well.

Hey guys, how long do you think it will take COTD to post the stuff from today's sales? Will it be quicker if I get one of the less popular ones?
I want a boyfriend pillow.

My history with Zelda is thus:
I've never played OoT or Majora's Mask, and I didn't like TP (on the Wii) at all (though it is on my list of games t have another go at sometime). I have played LttP (many many moons ago) and a tiny bit of Wind Waker. I enjoyed the Spirit Tracks on DS but never got close to finishing it. That's my history with Zelda games.
Skyward Sword looks interesting however. Will buy when it hits $20

Really? I mean surely they have to keep things changing. If you kept the same gameplay (and admittedly Zelda's is top freaking notch) but you're never going to attract new customers. You're just preaching to the already converted Zelda choir.
Their logic with AC and Uncharted is ridiculous, but their overall point is legitimate. Surely a game should have changed since Ocarina, a 13 year old game

No, And that's kinda why i agree with them.
Nintendo franchises seem to be about doing the same thing but tweaking it ever so slightly to make it less the same as before. People love that shit, That doesn't make it a bad game either.
People love those similar experiences with small additions since it doesn't break their love for the franchise. If zelda turned into a hardcore FPS then i would imagine some would rejoice and go, Holy shit this could be interesting while those who have loved each zelda game would be fucking shattered.
