Tomasi is the other person, beside Morrison, who understood Damian to be sure. I've gone on record as saying I don't like Batman Inc (more opposed to the idea of an "outed Bruce Wayne meets Corporate Sponsored Batmen), but I have dug all the (Damian) B&R pre and post 52.
I'll go look for the run of Frankenstein, at my LCBS.
My (other) boy Billy is one of my current mains in Injustice: GAU. <3 For Shazam.

Ordinarily I would agree, but his Logan has some weird, subhuman facial characteristics going on that stand out when everybody else looks pretty normal (by mutant standards). Combine that with Bendis writing him as something of a goon, and I half expect the next words out of the school headmaster's mouth to be "OOK OOK."
So obvious in hindsight, and I bought it hook, line and sinker. Fuuuuck.
Waid must've been laughing almost as hard as he was when he did the faux-origin-dovetailing-into-real-plot thing he did a few issues ago.

Waid's probably the best superhero writer out there now. He's been doing this for too long, makes this shit look too easy, he knows all the reader's expectations, how to satisfy them, and how to flip it upside down on yo ass

THIS. WAS. INCREDIBLE. :O
Start to end, a flawless masterpiece of an issue by Waid and Samnee. **SPOILER WARNING**made my jaw drop to the floor, I was so into it. Bravo."Try the red one"
By far book of the week-maybe book of the month. I love Daredevil. I really want to know who is behind this plot against him.
Wait, what?
Are the Legion Losters back in the future with the rest of the team now

oh, this is great. thanks.
my comic store has a website with a "this week" and a "next week" page for releases. but they dont update enough so their "next week" page is still the week of 4/10. useless.

One of the best fight issues I've ever read. Matt is so arrogant.
That "Try the red one" moment you mentioned... yeah, jaw dropping.

Well for me
1. Huntress
worst thing about the new 52.
2. Batman's pick and choose continuity
3. Nightwing is now a douche
4. No Cass
5. Tim

Absolutely. I marveled at how well constructed it was. No big splashy scenes, no grandstanding, and no obvious "cute" layout tricks; just smart panel usage and scene juxtaposition that flowed like water from one moment to the next. Samnee really deserves all the recognition he can get, and I hope Marvel realizes that.
What happened to the LLers after their book was canceled?
Pretty much the opposite of Bendis' hilariously sloppy "jam pages."

1) What about Huntress?
2) Agreed. But at the same time Batman stories tend to be timeless.
3) You new to Nightwing? He has occasionally had a chip on his shoulder. It's like the whole reason he became Nightwing.
4) Feel you bro. I don't give a shit about Cassandra, personally, but it sucks to lose a favorite character.
5) Agreed.

Hasn't been explained. Currently unaccounted for. Have to assume they are still in the past.

I believe he called her the worst thing about the new 52, which I can't see ever being the case.

I agree--sounds like someone who hasn't seen Captain Cold's redesign. A fucking sleeveless travesty.

Gotcha. I really tried to stick with N52 Legion, but it just didn't click with me anymore. That said it'd be amazing if Mon-El or Brainiac 5 showed up as DLC for Injustice.
To be fair that's a really justified question with a lot of wrong (or misleading) answers. It's very easy to feel overwhelmed at first.
You can probably just hop on with 23, which is when the title joined the "Now!" banner. I came back on with 22 after skipping the last 10~ issues or so myself (probably gonna read those too eventually) and it isn't that hard to catch up. The one we're talking about is 25.
All New was one of the ones I was interested in, but I do tend to value story so maybe I should skip it for now?
Sounds good. Never been big into Daredevil, but always open to trying new books.

Purely speculative, but what if
it's someone who's not after Daredevil the crimefighter, but Matt Murdock the lawyer? Someone who feels he was wronged by Matt in some legal capacity?

All-New is fun, but you'll also have to pick up Uncanny X-Men for the 'other half' of the story.
Definitely Brian Wood's X-Men looks promising, especially if you love the all-female lineup, and that comes out in May whereas people here also are picking up other X-books as well.

During Flashpoint Frankenstein was amazing, after it not so much. I'm glad the character is at least still around in Justice League Dark.
Speculation that is probably correct:
someone on another forum thinks it's gonna be Bullseye, since the newspapers last ish form a targeting reticule. The female assistant, then, could be Lady Bullseye.

IMHO Tomasi handled Damian, and his relationship with Bruce better than Morrison ever did. The entire run of B&R has been really good.

Its not that she was redesigned or written badly.
its that they 'killed' Bertinelli off before she ever became Huntress just for Helena Wayne to be transported to the main universe and be Huntress.
If her and Powergirl ever go back there is no longer a Huntress.
And in the end her being Batman's daughter has no actual effect, so why bother.
They even rub the whole thing in a little

Would have been much better if they had just switched places with each other or something stupid like that.
would even be more open to it if she just told him right up who she is instead of hiding it.
You aren't wrong.
ANXM is the only Bendis book I can get behind at this point. Uncanny is okay but I hate all the characters so it's kind of a chore to read.
Read 7 and 8 just now, it's fun as long as my print issues sell, 8 issues in and there is barely a plot going on, everyone might as well be eating pizza while commenting on how everyone looks young.

Uncanny Avengers #7 Preview (Comic Book Resources)
The adult Apocalypse Twins make their debut
That is one helluva entrance. :O
The adult Apocalypse Twins make their debut
by murdering a Celestial using Thor's enchanted axe.
It had a few great issues, but it wasn't all that amazing as a whole.
Wasn't too impressed overall with it. Pretty mediocre with the exception of issue #13 which is one of the best single Supes issues I've ever read.

So looking at the shipping list for next week, no JLA this month? Da fuck?
I enjoyed it overall, the best moments are when it's not trying to be grandiose.
Yep, lovely issue.

Hey grrrls. I've seen a few "Want to get into comics!" posts in the Off-Topic forum as of late, so this may seem redundant, but I don't think it is, so here goes...
I was reading some books regularly before I started college, at which point buying comics became a luxury beyond my means. I was balls deep in Blackest Night, reading every book under that heading (at the begrudging of my wallet) but wasn't able to finish before getting to college.
I'm in a better situation financially and am wondering what books y'all recommend as far as ongoing series right now? I see that Marvel did some re-boots/relaunches lately, so that could be interesting. I'm all for reading some back-story in the form of collected editions or in back issues, but I don't want to have to read thousands of pages just to get caught up in a series.
So, story short: what would you recommend as some of the hottest titles going on right now, and what might you recommend I read to catch up on that particular series?

So, DC has apparently decided to bring back fan-favourite character and daughter of the Joker Duela Dent back into mainstream New 52 continuity.
This being 2013 DC, things inevitably get hilariously fucked up in the most ridiculous comedy of errors and terrible design possible.
Peep at this shit and tell me it's not silly as fuck.
edit: OF COURSE IT ALREADY HAD ITS OWN THREAD. FUCK. But seriously, THIS IS FUCKING TERRIBLE AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE IT.
