1) How I lived this long without 100 Bullets Deluxe Edition vol. 1?
2) Bradshaw really killed it on WaXM. Fantastic stuff. Although Edie has a haircut I'm not crazy about.

Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
Just read the latest Invincible and it was so good. Definitely liked the twist in this issue.
It's just a regular sized hardcover, if we're talking about Daredevil. I'm buying it monthly and hoping we get an omnibus down the road.

Are you really so excited to see Batwoman get sent back to the Bat-Kitchen to make Bat-chicken pot pies?
Is this in bat taste? Hua hua hua hua!
Seems like you were just winging those puns in the end.
shut it, asshole!
you just reminded me jhw3 is off art duties for the next arc

No need for such bat language.
Did Brubaker change up his writing for this new Cap series? I swear this new series just reads more like a superhero comic and not the political espionage stuff he was doing on the old series.
I'm not sure if its a change in writing, or just working with an artist that doesn't have a slavish dedication to photo reference, realism, and general visual monotony.

I'm actually kinda excited to see a new take on Batwoman, the only artist who's ever really drawn her is JH Williams, and random people from 52.
Amy Reeder is a fantastic artist

Batwoman looks ugly with that butch haircut. She should grow her hair out so she won't need dat wig.

Wonder if the new Daredevil series will finally hit digital next week with #8, would be really stupid of Marvel to have a 2 part story start in a comic available digitally (Amazing Spidey #677) and end in a comic that people with no easy access to stores (or lazy and would rather not venture into town just for comics like me) can't get.
Scarlet Spider is only available on the spin-off Marvel only app, that's dumb, hopefully just a mistake.

Guys.
Wolverine and the X-Men is just SO. F*CKING. GOOD. How is that possible? :O
EDIT: And perhaps best of all Nick Bradshaw just KILLS IT on the artwork. Straight up HOMICIDE.
Logan's deadpan confession.
Administrative problems galore.
Welcome new students Genesis and Angel.
Guest speaker Deathlok and his wacky probability powers!
The new "Days of Future Past."
Bobby looking out for his bro.
Pregnant Kitty cliffhanger!
Doop raking the lawn.

See! Comics is overrun with libruls. Warren Ellis is just another leftie confusing the character of Cap with the bully policies of an outdated administration. That guy on Bleeding Cool was right!
Who were some of the classic Wolverine villains in the Claremont run?
I'm coming up with Sabertooth, Lady Deathstrike, and Omega Red off the top of my head.
Luther Strode #4 was amazing. Luther meets the Librarian who reveals some of the secrets to his power and sets in motion an unpleasant chain of events for Luther.
Orchid #4 was equally awesome.
Jedeye can start loving Image now as oatmeal golems and AIDS is coming to Image courtesy of Frank Quietly and Mark Millar. Here's to hoping Millar makes it worth Quietly's while. I may not like the guys art, but he doesn't deserve the sort of shit Millar has been crapping out the past four or five years.
Picked up a JLA: Classified run by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, Klaus Janson, and Gail Simone. Fun to look at. Introduced some crappy new villains (think M.Bison) for 2005. Even had a few moments of levity I appreciated.

if it was anybody but Quitely, I wouldn't even glance at Mark Millar's stuff.

Silver Samurai, The Reavers (hey, I liked them), and maybe The Hand?
Omega Red technically came the issue after Claremont left although he probably had a hand in his creation.

I am absolutely losing my shit over this issue. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much at a book and just had a general sense of giddiness while reading the entire thing. And the art. Good god, the art is superhuman. I'm sitting on a stack of comics right now that I couldn't wait to read fifteen minutes ago and now they might as well be kindling.

"Who am I?"
"That...is what you are here to discover"
"That...is what you are here to discover"
That scene actually got the biggest smile from me this issue, such a perfect answer. Outside the book's high-concept action and witty dialog, there are real emotional notes in WATXM few other X-books can manage.

Sorted some unsorted books.
Now have a box of pure amazing:
Arthur Adams (Fantastic Four, Gumby, Ultimate X, Tom Strong's Terrific Tales)
Dan Brereton
Alan Davis (Avengers, Avengers Prime, Batman & The Outsiders, Thor, etc.)
Michael Golden
Jason Pearson
Wally Wood
I need to restructure my entire collection like this. Get all the essential runs by creators I love in ONE spot so I can always pull from there for godlike entertainment.
Looks like funnybook GAF's new boytoy is just 11 years behind Arthur Adams in the tiny faces department:
LOL LOL LOL
Reminds me of this excerpt from Art & Fear:
Ugh - just need to wait for the weather to break before I head into the small, cold, and dark attic to sift through it all.

WHY DON'T YOU ALREADY HAVE IT?! >:|
Yes, Adams did all the art for the Jonni Future stories. It was a seminal run for him as he just pumped out some of his best work ever for the series. He ended up doing quite a bit of work for America's Best Comics during it's heyday and you should seek it all out before you go waste any more money on shitty clones.
YA SHOULD KNOW! YA HEARD? Damn son. 2012 is 2001 all over again.
So yesterday I picked up:
Batman 4
Justice League 4
The Dark Knight 4
The Incredible Hulk 3
Uncanny X-Force 13~17
World War Hulk TPB (the only one I've read so far, just finished it up right now actually)
Hot damn, I am now officially a fan of John Romita Jr. I loved the art thru the entire book. I've always thought of his art as quirky, but it just clicked with me in this book and I really loved the look of it. Some of his stuff has been growing on me recently, just stuff I've seen here and there, mainly single panels not entire books... and again, this kinda brought it home.
I was wondering what TPB you guys would recommend with Romita Jr as the artist.
Also liked the story in WWH, it was fun and so much epic ass kicking.

JR Jr. works exceedingly well on some titles and is complete shit on others.
He's one of the greatest Daredevil artists of all time, but putting him on X-Men was like being punched in the face repeatedly by a kangaroo with boxing gloves.
Gotta stop being lazy and see if the library was WWH.

Definitely different, not as dark, can't tell if I like it yet. He'll probably write Winter Soldier that way

Wait what??! Man, kinda feels like Quitely is cheating on GMoz, especially since GM and Millar and like bitter exes washing their dirty laundry in public. I don't have too much against Millar though, he's done some fun books over the years. 1985 was a great read, Kickass was fun at the time, hell I even enjoyed Wanted for it's sheer OTT nihilism and nastiness.
Will wait for the trade I think, it would be cool to get a massive lump of FQ in one sitting. Thanks for the heads up
