I have to admit, it worked better than I thought (and perhaps the lighter tone is right based on the story arch that had preceded it). Just caught me off guard! The ending was a bit crappy.

Yeah I loved the Archie TMNT stuff as well. I remember all that stuff vividly. the intergalactic wrestling storyline was one of my favorites. I'm gonna get all the collections too
The new IDW stuff seems really good but the only ones i've read are the first 2 issues and the Raph and Donatello micro series oneshots. Donatello issue was great, I loved the stuff with him posting on forums and talking about video games. Some great humor too..."You're obstruse as all hell" was hilarious.
I really want to read all of the old mirage stuff. the only stuff i've read from it was this, still own a copy of it

People actually like Comic Book Men. That's crazy.
Atrocious show and the midtown comics show was even worse even if I'm in it for a minute.
Just read mike allreds daredevil and so hyped can't wait to add it to my collection, balls to the wall fun.
Avx 10 was the usual sucks going to have to wait a month for the next issue.
I need to drastically cut my pull list, yet i continue to buy 40-50 books a month and STILL have a dozen titles that are on the bubble, yet i'm wayyyyyyy behind on reading.
Books on the bubble for october:
BPRD 1948 #1 - i'll read this eventually if it gets omnied, not too worried about singles.
Ex Sanguine #1 of 5
Joe Kubert Presents #1
Lot 13 #1
Multiple Warheads something something #1 of 4
Non Humans #1 of 4
Phantom Stranger #1
Punisher Warzone #1 of 5
Sword of Sorcery #1
Talon #1
Catwoman #13 - Nocenti onboard
Detective Comics #13 - Layman
Dial H #5
Earth 2 #5
Frankenstein #13 - rotworld so eh
Ghosts #1 vertigo
GL Corps #13
GL New Guardians #13 - may or may not, GL stuff is lacking right now and third army is iffy
Swamp Thing Annual #1 - just more money
The Zaucer of Zilk #1 of 2
A Babies vs X babies
Marvel Zombies Halloween
Red She Hulk #58
Anything "can't miss' territory in comics-gaf's eyes?

Never knew there was so much comic book men hate. What did you guys expect when you tuned in? Not every show has to be Breaking Bad to be worth a watch. lol
If you're just talking about on that list then I'd say Detective is definitely my choice. Layman's other known ongoing, Chew, is probably my favorite current title and is worth checking out if you haven't.

I'm the kind of comic book person that likes the medium/stories/comics comics comics in general, not discussions over which superhero would win in a fight or watching people awkwardly try to sell their stuff to the store. The Comic Book Men show was not at ALL for me.
^^^ Detective Comics is enticing since it is Layman and has a digital combo option, only downside is it's more batman, and i'm a little batmanned out with Batman Inc, Batman and Robin, Batwoman, and Batman. I think that might be one i cave and order though. I have the first Chew OHC collection, which of course i haven't read since i buy too many comics. I did read the first tpb and liked it.

I'm so glad X-Men Legacy is coming back without Rogue. I just read 271 and it was a pile of shit. I am really over Rogue at this point, and the bad writer doesn't help.
I've seen a lot of history related stuff brought up that was interesting. You have to realize they can't really talk about modern comics like a podcast can since the show is filmed months before it airs. The haggling part is definitely the worst part but everything else about the show feels believable given how they act on the podcasts. It would be cool if there was a show primarily for comic book fans but then it likely wouldn't have enough viewers to even air.
Oh and check out Saga too. Might be the best book out now.
The history stuff is good. I'm pretty new to the hobby, so knowing some history from the show is a definite bonus.
I'm more of a story guy as well, but I thought it would be normal for friends, who are comic book fans, to talk about hypothetical scenarios. The selling sections, worst of the show.
Maybe Ghosts, just since it's a one-shot and I would guess unlikely to ever be collected in anything.
Cudley the Cowlick!
They're doing nice hardcover collections of the main Eastman and Laird original run (various filler issues by other people are being collected elsewhere). I've got the material from the first two volumes via the big softcover Mirage did shortly before TMNT was sold to Nickelodeon and the comics rights went to IDW. The 3rd volume just came out, so I've gotta pick that up too. It's good stuff, more on the dark and serious side than the Archie comics of course, but very good in its own right.
I'd watch a GTTV type comic book show...but yeah the ratings would be terrible. The only podcast i really listen to is Comic Geek Speak, but specifically the Previews episode because it's fun to browse through it at the same time. I do buy Saga, despite only reading 10 pages of the first issue. I'll probably save up the first six issues and read through them all.
Ghosts anthology did look really interesting, though i didn't like a couple of the previous anthology DC books i bought, i think it was the Mysteries of Space or something around when Spaceman came out.

Me too, ehh I care nothing for what the comics say. Although the Young Justice show timeline make the most sense to me when it states their ages.

I'm not happy but it probably frees me from a book.
though I haven't read the AvX crossover crap for any of my Xbooks since I don't read the main book

Hey does GM's Animal feature different villains and such. The Rot and The red aren't compelling to me and only got interesting at the cliffhanger for Rotworld.

Spent £50 yesterday on trades... whoops.
What Batman book do I need to read to make the 3rd Batman and Robin trade make sense? I thought it would be self contained enough for me to piece to together, and I knew about Bruce travelling through time but the Black Glove stuff went over my head.
Astonishing Spider-man and Wolverine is a great mini series, really enjoyed it.
Still got to read Uncanny X-Men and Invincible vol 9.

I think the Nightwings maybe but I might be biased and Batman & Robin. The rest I think only if you're into that character maybe. Its more spillover than a tight "you must read this next" story.

Super-Dickery fans may appreciate this.
I took a trip to a local store that sells old comics and other random-ass stuff from the 60's-90's, was browsing through their old Superman comics and came across this and had to buy it.
Lol, he's such a dick.

X-Men sale at Comixolgy, it looks like the 2004-2006 run. Alot of Salvador Larroca.

Thanks for those Hulk recommendations previously. I'm wondering - are there any good Godzilla series? Has Hulk ever fought Godzilla?
Went a-googling, and am sad to report that no. The Hulk has never fought Godzilla.
Now I want the Hulk to fight Godzilla.

Shame, well, if Marvel are ever short of ideas they can have that one.

DC's solicitations for November 2012 are rolling out today via Newsarama, and apparently Batman artist Greg Capullo is a little miffed that DC inadvertently spoiled its reveal of the new Joker with its Bat-family covers. In particular, you can clearly see him on the cover of Batgirl with

He looks exactly like I feared he would. So, after this and the overlong Court of Owls, I think I'm done with Snyder's Batman. This is another wrong step for DC with the Joker in my opinion.
the skin of his old face stretched, stapled, and or belted over his head like Leatherface, or some Clive Barker freakshow.

What's wrong with it? Too similar to previous Jokers? I don't mind though I do think the Marilyn Manson Joker was kinda cool.
LOL He taped his face to his head. You just know he's going to be crazier than ever, besides Capullo was saying how the released pics are pretty diluted.
There's a one-off coming out in the summer and then the final story arc, Omega, which will be another seven issues, but none of these have been published yet. I would guess some time next year for the final volume, then?

LOL I know, I know. But the whole "depraved murderous freakshow clown" caricature with Joker has long since run its course; instead of trying a different approach with the character, however, the folks in charge seem content with one-upsmanship games in seeing just how depraved and freakish they can make him out to be. The New 52 was a perfect opportunity to turn Joker in a different direction, and instead they appear to be running him off a cliff.

Have faith man. If anyone can do it, those guys can. Snyder is the only horror writer in comics worth a damn, and 'scary' is more than just a visual.
I quite like this design from what I can see of it though. It looks like smeared lipstick which is oddly appropriate.
