No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
Placed an order for most of the books I've wanted from the last 6 weeks or so.

* A.D.D.: Adolescent Demo Division
* American Vampire Vol. 3
* Batman: Gates of Gotham
* Batman & Robin: Dark Knight, White Knight
* Blacksad
* Catwoman Vol. 1: Trail of the Catwoman
* The Coffin: 10th Anniversary Edition
* Sweet Tooth Vol. 4: Endangered Species
* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 1: Change is Constant

That should keep me busy for a while.

Just watched the Green Lantern movie. Not as awful as everyone made it out to be. It got me thinking though, if I could be any superhero it would probably be a Green Lantern. They just have the coolest superpower I think. Being able to will anything you want into existence? Fuck yeah man.

Edit: You guys weren't kidding, Waid's Daredevil run is brilliant. I wasn't even interested in the character before reading his stuff, but man I think he's one of the most interesting, complex characters out there. I'll have to look up some other stuff written by Waid.

Just finished reading V for Vendetta, the movie really turned me off so it took a while.

Great book. Moore is amazing. I am going to read his Swamp Thing run next, he has to be one of my favorite writers, probably second to Gaiman.

I've always considered the GLs to be Space Cops more than Superheroes, it's why the movie didn't sit right with me. If it had been more exploring the universe with Sinestro I think it would have been much better.
 
c'mon, son

In other news, randomly picked up "Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin", and its awesomeness. Eric Canete has some of the most kinetic storytelling I've ever seen.

iron-man-enter-the-mandarin-20070928063948246.jpg


The impact of the attacks, the focus and shorthand of Iron Man's body before his fist takes off, the way he frames the body positions to exaggerate the FUCK out of the blows, sooo good.

Shit, need to get that. Canete is a master.

EARTH2_Cv1_variant_jasdhfklasd609g.jpg


iFanboy got this Earth-2 Variant Cover by Ivan Reis

Yessir, that Earth-2 sure is purty.

Also, I like this Superman's costume better. Like, WAY better. Oh, and J-Rob had some deets on the book to share:

“Earth 2 is a world that’s very like our own, but at the same time vastly different. It has known great conflict and danger…a dark menace defeated but at a great cost both to the Earth and to its superheroes of that time. Now, in the present as new menaces emerge to attack the Earth, so new heroes must emerge too, learning to work as a team (or perhaps Society is a better word) while facing these new threats head-on. Who are these heroes? Will their powers include speed, bestial fury, and maybe even green light? Wait and see.”

Gorramn this is gonna be a rough week on my wallet. Marvel and DC both have a ton of stuff I wanna read.

I'm currently downloading the first issue of Irredeemable off Comixology and it strikes me just how utterly stupid the pricing scheme is on this comic. I saw the trade this weekend at my LCS for 25% off and considered getting it, but then I thought it would be cheaper on Amazon. My hunch proved to be correct, as it was $9.99. Before purchasing I decided to check out how many issues are collected per trade. The answer was 3-4. So then I sat back and thought about it for all of 2 seconds. I can get 4 issues for $10 + tax, or each issue for $1.99 flat off Comixology.

...seriously? Who's making these business decisions? Please fire whoever he is and hire someone not mathematically impaired.

Yeah, that sucks. One of my buddies had Sandman ruined for him before he read it. I had no idea how much that sucked until I read it for myself recently.

This may be a stupid question, but what is the best way to read sandman? Just buy all the standard volumes one at a time?

Yeah... A number of the volumes work on their own, but it's best read it in order. Just remember that the first volume is where the book is still finding its footing.

Gary Friedrich needs your financial support!

As many of you may have heard, the creator of Ghost Rider has been counter-sued by Marvel. Click HERE to read more about that. They are now saying Gary can no longer claim to be the creator, cutting off his livelihood, but have also slapped him with $17,000 bill for damages to the corporate giant.

Glory #23 (MR)

"ONCE AND FUTURE," Part One
EXTREME'S ORIGINAL WARRIOR GODDESS RETURNS!
After missing for almost a decade, Glory's whereabouts are uncovered by a lone reporter, but the globe-spanning conspiracy keeping her hidden from humanity could make her return more dangerous than anyone ever anticipated! This first issue of an brand-new saga written by Eisner & Harvey-award winner JOE KEATINGE and illustrated by Wet Moon and Shadoweyes creator ROSS CAMPBELL sets up Glory's future by expanding on her past in a way promising to shock long-time fans and excite all-new readers!

Probably not. Feels bad man.

Honestly?

...

...

...Read Jaka's story, then quit. There's still some interesting stuff in the later volumes, and it doesn't get full on unreadable slog until about 2/3rds through, but yeah that sounds about right

So i was lent the entire run of PunisherMax. I dont think i can do Scalped after this. This was brutal, violent and beautiful. I can't be the only one who wonders what goes inside the heads of Aaron and Ennis and how they seem to be contributing members to society
 
i didn't mean actually going to asgard, but an asgard related story, which will never beat the original. the current new muties series has been living on nostalgia for most of its existence.

Verily, Abnett and Lanning have been doing an awesome job! And now you add Gillen (who writes the best comics Marvel publishes) and what's not to like?

Methinks you're the one living on nostalgia if you think these creators cannot beat the old story. ;)

Hold fast! I'm willing to overlook your silly username, but you cannot fault Journey Into Mystery. Gillen could have Loki reading the cookbook and it would shine.

Scalped is even more violent and brutal, but even more beautiful and amazing. It's the best ongoing of the past five years, I think
 
Brahs comics are the most beautiful and amazing thing ever. Not a day goes buy that I don't find something new and exciting. If I never make love, comics will fill that void. In a world where bagging and boarding could mean something else, I will always have comics. Excited for Peter Panzerfaust on Wednesday.
 
Anyone watch Comic Book Men on AMC last night? It was... interesting. Didn't realize it was basically going to be a nerdy version of Pawn Stars but it was just a weird show. Seems like the stereotypical comic shop employees as well. I haven't seen an employee like that in years.
 
Terrible fucking show, Kevin Smith he has no shame or if he does he hides it behind a manatee size jersey and FUBU jorts. If they wanted a real comic book Pawn Stars they should have brought in the most socially awkward guys and have them negotiate. If I wanted to see socially akward forty year old men I would show up to my LCS on Wednesday ( a.m when the cool people get comics) wearing a Rush T-shirt. While they ponder the intricacies of Dave Navarro's thoughts on the latest episode of the walking dead and pick up a sailor moon trade, not for them though, just for their little sister.
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like

I'm pretty much already an unapologetic fan of dumb reality tv anyways, so to have one about comic fandom winds me up nice. I'll keep watching. If I had to criticize I'd say the show seems to suffer from a bit of ADD. I'm definitely more a fan of the antics of the cast than the Pawn Stars aspects. It's almost like it's afraid to just be a show about comic book fandom so they tried to shoehorn aspects of other successful shows in to give it a more broad appeal.

e: and just saying it's nerdy Pawn Stars is reductive and silly. In the entire hour they had what 3, 4 people come in with shit to sell? Much more of the show was them talking about 101 level comic book fandom and picking on the little Asian guy.

I was interested in watching it, but I was disappointed when it just turned out to be comics Pawn Stars.

On "Night of the Owls," are the crossover issues just going to be different sides to the same story or will you need to read them all in order to not miss anything? So if I only really care about Batman, can I get the full Batman story just from reading the one comic?

Did you miss the sunglass-wearing weirdo with the briefcase handcuffed to his arm that only had a shitty movie poster?

I enjoyed the show but I also like the podcast by the Stash guys, Tell Em Steve-Dave. Funnier than the show and it doesn't have the awkward negotiating.
 
Few days late to the party on the new Power Girl design. I mostly dig it but I think I'd like it better with a belt. The old belt would look fine on there.

Not a big fan of the "P" either. It looks like something that's supposed to be mirrored but somebody didn't bother finishing it off.

Gonna download it tonight to watch. I love their podcast Tell Em Steve Dave (also featuring Q from Impractical Jokers), so as long as there is a high quotient of ball busting I will be happy.
