I can't read these Marvel liveblogs. It is an embarrassment of fanboys going nuts for every single bit of info or artwork. OMG PLEASE LET HYDRA BE IN IT, I'D GO CRAZZZY! OMG, THIS IS WHY I READ MARVEL!
They make our reactions to WATXM look cultured and civilized in comparison.

Amazing Spider-Man is tied up with the Ends of the Earth story arc, and has a whole bunch of other plans this year, like a Spidey/Lizard story to tie in with the movie, the 50th Anniversary Special, and ASM #700.
Ahh, of course. That makes sense. Totally forgot about that. But yeah, Waid/Rucka writing the street heroes is gonna be so good

Justice League #5 has become the first New 52 book to miss its original ship date, albeit only by a week. Impressive that they've gone this far with no delays, though I wonder whether future issues will see Lee (or, god forbid, Burnham on Batman Inc.) falling victim to the now-mandatory fill-in artists for failing to meet deadlines.
I'm honestly surprised that Justice League stayed on schedule for the most part this long.
It probably had far more lead time than any of the other New 52 books (unless you count Batwoman, with all the delays).

Also, the seven-week gap between #1 and #2 gave Lee even more lead time on top of what he presumably had before the relaunch was even announced.

Rucka and Waid are writing the 'Avenging' portion of the crossover together.
Three issues. First issue in Avenging Spider-man #6. I guess Wells continues after that.
marvel seems kinda hype lately and i want to read but i dont want to give them my money. i've put my foot down on this
fuck a 4 dollar book!
Voting with your wallet is fine and completely understandable.
I have read that Marvel's digital offerings take time to come down in price. How long does it take before it becomes a buck or two cheaper ?
They do sales, but they don't have any set interval for reducing the standard prices.

Wait it out and buy the trades from Amazon. Half the price of reading the singles, no ads, no waiting between chapters (other than the wait between trades). And with Marvel, you barely have to wait 6 months between books since they double ship all their good books!

In the new 52?
And what kind of tom foolery is that!
Do you know how many issues Supes and Batty had in World's Finest? SO MANY!
So I take it you're not mad at Brian Azzarello this month?
I'm stewing a February Comic OT with the obvious theme of black creators (optional) and characters (optional). I have no ulterior motive! Kee kee kee. . . ^_^
Oh and Adam Hughes will eke out three pages for next weeks Fables. It's no All Star Wonder Woman, but wow! He drew sequentials?! OMG WTF!

So I just started reading comics for the first time ever this week. I've always wanted to get into comics, but never really bothered wading through the tons and tons of series, books, superheroes, etc. However after randomly stumbling upon an article about how DC was rebooting all its franchises, and after playing the hell out of Arkham City these past few months, I decided to take a plunge on the Batman and Catwoman comics. I figured this would be the perfect time to get started, considering I'll be getting in at the beginning of these new series. So far so good, I'm quite impressed with what I've read so far. Obviously since these are my first comics I don't have a frame of reference, but they're pretty entertaining. Kinda sucks that you only get one comic every month though. Oh well.
One of us!
The good part about getting into comics fresh is there are so many amazing stories out there already (especially if you're a Batman fan) so you don't even need to wait. Just go buy some trades.

There's 60 years of Batman stuff to rummage through for gems. Something something about those who ignore the past are doomed to read David Finch crap.

True, I guess there's a massive backlog I could check out. I've already read Year One, but I've heard that The Killing Joke and Hush are pretty good, so maybe I'll check those out.
The thing about comics though is that very few superheroes actually interest me. I looked through the New 52 lineup - really the only two that seemed in any way interesting to me were Batman and Catwoman. But then again I haven't read anything else so I guess I'm just speaking out of ignorance.

YES!!!! I think I might have to check out old issue of detective comics.
Anyone know why DC is rebooting everything with the 52s? I'm reading up on the back issue of the Blue Beetle and now I'm into the new 52 #1 series and it feels like almost the same setup again.
Yeah but I can see them doing that whole Reach invasion thing again but in different way. I hate the 52s. I want it to end. The blue beetle series before the 52s was excellent, even had a good cast of characters.

Of the new six, I'll probably try five of them. Dc cancel two war books, solicit another in the "second wave." Great logic.
haha holy shit

Now that Liefeld and Howard Mackie both work for DC they should totally do a book together. Two legends of the 90s, together for the first time!

Oh my god. I finally got around to reading Wolverine and the X-Men. Where's that Spider-Man gif when you need it? That issue was so good. I want Bradshaw and Aaron to run away with this series.
ugh. why?
