I pray Rucka is still writing it.
Wondering what everyone's reaction to the Walking Dead & Uncanny X-men.
Loved Spider-men but think it'll read a lot better in trade like all of Bendis' work.
Batman & Robin had some crowbar fun and a dope final image
Batman was kind of meh court of the owls really didn't do anything for me.

Screw The Walking Dead. Revival is the real motherfucker coming out tomorrow.
Yeah, didn't get a chance to look through it but the Incentive looks dope and I'll read it on my lunch break tomorrow and pick it up if it's dope.

It's on brahs. Gary Whitta is writing a new ongoing title with an artist doing for Image right now. Brah told me to not call him brah anymore. That shit don't fly with me. Each month I will update my progress on pitching my titles to Image and finding an artist in the Brony thread. Check out Revival, Hoax Hunters, Chew Poyo, Black Spider-man and White Spider-man teamup, Enormous, Wild Children, Bad Medicine and Bloodshot tomorrow.

Top Cow is very hit or miss.
Right now Tim Seeley is righting the hell out of Witchblade. It's not highbrow entertainment, but I'm enjoying it.
Top Cow pissed me off when they abandoned the original Pilot Season format in favor of letting Robert Kirkman shit out a bunch of more Kirkman series for Pilot Season. Urban Myths should have gotten a monthly series - but I guess it didn't have enough titties for Top Cow. If you can find the one shot it's worth reading. Fun story. Cool art.

Oh, wait - Blackwater.
I thought he was doing something for Bluewater. Those guys that do the Sarah Palin / Lady Gaga comics.
Oh World War Tucci, you card!
I'm interested in getting into The Punisher and like most people have been directed to reading Garth Ennis' run. Here's my question. There is a Punisher MAX run and a Marvel Knights TPB called 'Welcome Back Frank'.
Any suggestions on which one of these to read first? Is there a chronological order? (It's a shame that a new copy of the Ennis Omnibus is going for $500+ online otherwise I would have picked this up).
What do you recommend reading after Ennis' run?

Jason Aaron's PunisherMAX run after Ennis and then the 616 Greg Rucka run.

The Knights run came before the Max run, but there's really no continuity and the tone between the two books is very different.
Nothing.
You stop.
Ennis has penned the definitive Frank Castle story.

Man, Nu52 Batman is really fun. Snyder does what Nolan tries to do, but also keeps the fun in it.
Things I don't like - Capullo uses really narrow borders, no gutters, so some panels can bleed together.
Also the book could use a Tom Orzechowski. The page with Batman escaping the exploding owls nest is almost completely silent. Some good sound effects would just help sell it even more.
The Marquis and The Midwife!!!
Listening to Guy Davis interview on Fanboy Confidential.
Maybe now that Pacific Rim is further along in development Guy Davis can be back to drawing them funnies I so desire. :3

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
WatXM was kinda neat I guess? That sort of event induced character study fluff you get with cool things that wont be mentioned at all by the event itself in any way, but all in all much better stuff this week that I enjoy from this book than its been in a fair while. Warbird is a fun character. UXF was alright, but Remender's fetish for oddbod villain team-ups is getting a bit out of hand -- dramatic stuff though if certain things stick. Seems to have been doing more with WatXM's cast than it has for months at least. Venom was spiffy, worried about that after Remender leaves. Its been his most fresh feeling project, which brings me to...
Think this week clinches it though, Scarlet Spider is my favourite Marvel book of the now. I never expected to like Kaine of all people. The book is just so... fun. The right way to do a 'new' Spider-Man.
A very good week, well done comics! Now cancel all the above in the shake up so I can hate you again.

I was wondering if anyone can help me out here.
I wanted to pick up some new graphic novels. I'm pretty new with this, I only have a few but right now I'm looking specifically for Batman related stuff.
I have The Dark Knight Returns already, but I haven't read it yet. I was thinking of picking up Year One and Arkham City as well.
So, my question is what are some of the other Batman graphic novels that are considered to be the best of the best?
Also my only experience with graphic novels has been Watchmen, V for Vendetta and some of the older Ultimate Spider-Man stuff.
So, I was just wondering what everyone here recommends for Batman, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

Year One and DKR are great. Check out Snyder's Detective Comics The Black Mirror, as well as The Long Halloween.

The first volume of the new 52 Batman series by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, "The Court of the Owls" is pretty great
I also recommend the collection of Snyder's prior Batman work, "The Black Mirror".
I'm not sure if either will go down as "all time greats", but I've really enjoyed both.

Alright thanks for the recommendations! I'll check those out.
Also - is there a graphic novel TDKR was based off of? I'd like to read something related to it or Bane if there's anything good.

It's looking like it's a mixture of already mentioned titles which are Knightfall, No Man's Land and Dark Knight Returns

I had a feeling that's who the Brotherhood of Evil Mutant leader would be. This seems to be a very personal story for Wolverine, so why not, right? He's got the money, the resources, the vendetta, and the connections.
Warning HUGE Uncanny X-Force 27 spoilers!
I can't believe Remender had the guts to kill Fantomex! My favorite character on the series...
At first I felt like he was the obvious choice for a sacrifice, but after what he endured in the otherworld arc I thought he was safe for awhile.
Remender did such a wonderful job on him, I refuse to believe he was offed like that. That's gotta be something more to it hopefully he'll be back in some way...
It just makes my hate for Daken stronger! Logan has to kill him!
God damnit, what a great book!

Okay cool, I'll probably end up getting Year One and Knightfall first then. Really interested in the others too, I'll be picking up most of them gradually. Thanks!

Holy shit, we enjoyed the same book! I really liked that book and Pilot Season in general. I wonder why Faeber didnt try Urban Myths anywhere else

Thor got his ass dominated. Seems like the heat has beat the thunder again.
Thor punches her real hard and she falls to earth from Utopia. He flies towards her attempting to hit her again but she stops him, after a little debate an enraged Thor manages to shatter Emma's diamond form with Mjolnir and send it's pieces flying in the sky. The diamond shards fall back to earth in a rain of fire bombarding Thor as Emma fuses herself back again. Thor loses.
I should mention Emma is powered by the Phoenix. Only way for her to win this fight.
I know it doesn't sound much but the art is good.

I thought this was one of the better WAtXM issues so far actually. Can't agree with the complaint that AvX drags this down because the issue focused on a character they introduced at the beginning of the series. Did you expect her never to get any backstory?
there was one panel in the entire issue (bobby + warbird) where i was like oh shit! i remember why i liked this so much early on!
one panel.

So... how about that big reveal in Venom #20?
Btw, I'm an idiot who only figured out this week that the Betty Brant I've been reading about for 20 issues is that character:
Which is pretty cool since I have a mad crush for Elizabeth Banks.
