Ha, yeah.
No, I definitely see your point.
But when one of the best stories ever in comics has the log line "What if The Punisher was a Frankenstein" then you learn to never sell anything short.

I havent gotten the chance to read the newest USM stuff, but Bendis has done nothing but good work on USM for over a decade now which is pretty freaking impressive. How many comics can claim that consistency?
Congratulations Thief of Thieves fans! That glorified storyboard devised as a pitch for a movie or a TV show managed to do exactly that! COMICS, EVERYONE.

That was fast. I hope it turns out ok. Way too early to tell about this series for me; it's starting out ok but nothing has even happened yet. It would have made more sense to let it build a following first.

Buy them? Borrow them from a friend or library? I don't understand what the uncertainty is. The huge annotated editions aren't necessary.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Add riley and mayday to the mix as well. call them the spider exiles.

That's basically what I was wondering about. Are the absolute volumes any different than the standard trade volumes?
I've only recently gotten back into comics. I used to collect way back in the day but haven't read since. I used to read Batman, Detective series and other series like Gotham by Gaslight, The Dark Knight, Arkham Asylum.
I just signed up with Dark Horse Digital & ComiXology. So far I've bought:
The Eye of The World #1, #2
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 #1, #2
The Walking Dead #1, #2.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how nice it is to read on the iPhone, I figured it'd be a nightmare. Anyway, hope to use these threads to introduce me to new/old comics.

For me he has, anyway fuck Bendis and his lame ass ideas. Guy is running on fumes nowadays.
Bendis said:
Really Bendis ? Slott has been wrting the hell out of Amazing and Avenging has been great.
I'm pretty sure Wolverine and the X-Men hardcover got announced in the Hatchet Guide initially as having issues 1-7 but then was later changed to 1-4. This is not going to be a good value, but a typical marvel "value" comparative to their 5 issue $24.99 hardcovers for 3.99 ongoing books.
Also, i didn't read that New Guardians #9 was crossing over with Blue Beetle, a book i don't read and didn't pre-order....a lot of crossovers from DC.
Weird, it's only on it's third issue lol
Agree, I think it's going to be a good story but after 2 issues you have so little to go on.
100 Bullets before this please. HBO or Showtime mini-series.

YES.
Yay? I guess? I thought the first issue was pretty dull. I guess the TV show will be a cross between Leverage and My Own Worst Enemy.

Great end to Jason Aaron's Wolverine run this week. A lot of callbacks and tying up plots and ideas from the various stories over his run, while setting up characters in some interesting places after he's gone. The ending two pages are just perfect, too, to the point that I'll ignore how he just jobbed out his whole rogue's gallery.

America's Got Talents was pretty good. Looking forward to seeing where this goes as its only a six issue miniseries.

Is Batman & Robin good from the New 52 series? Not read a comic in years and fancy some Batman. Buying them on the Comics X iPad app.

So this week:
Saga #1 - Book of the week hands down. Dialogue is great and the art knocks it out again.
Secret #1 - Good start, maybe Hickman will do something more grounded in reality for a change?
Conan #3 - Want to love this series because of the team, but I just can't get into it. Dropping.
Avenging Spider-Man #6 - Picked this up because of the Punisher crossover and loved everything about it. Runner up for book of the week.
From last week:
Fairest #2 - Phil Jimenez needs to draw a fill in issue of Fables, his stuff is damn good. Waiting to see where this goes, but the banter is entertaining as always.
Chew #25 - That last page! SO HYPE!
Also picked up Adventure Time #3 and enjoyed it, so I'll be trying to track down the previous 2 issues.

I don't want to be that brah but does anyone no a site to buy a physical copy of Peter Panzerfaust 1?

"Batman" and "Batman and Robin" are both worth reading. Batman is generally more popular/well-liked.
Don't buy detective comics or the dark knight, they're both pretty bad.
If you want a batman spinoff, Batwing is the best one.

If you don't mind it being a second printing, Midtown Comics has them in stock on their site.

There a way to get all The Walking Deads in electronic form for a reasonable price?

OMG, Scarlet Spider is the shit. Ryan Stegman is flat-out phenomenal. I don't think there's a single artist who draws action the way this man does. The way he utilizes splash pages, the transitions between actions, the constuction of the vertical or horizontal panels to emphasize the fast sudden movement(the zombie ninja fall or the horizontal speed panel for that crazy kick Kaine gives The Smithy), the way he builds up to an action then follows-through hard with the next driving home the impact, or the unique page layouts. All I can do is heap praises upon what this man does. Unbelievably good.

Spider-Men sounds like it could be pretty good, because Bendis has been doing a great Ultimate Spider-Man for a whole year already, and used to write it amazingly for several years. And despite his Avengers books sucking eggs, he always wrote a good Spider-Man character in them. But if Bendis had announced Avengers vs. Ultimate Avengers, I think I would have quit comics.
The Spin: Hype = money.
