Sad to hear about Savage.
I picked up quite a few early WaTXM, but I was thinking of something more focusing on him. I'm honestly not that big a fan of his "students" and I enjoyed the interaction between Wolverine and Beast the best. Most of what I've heard from the series is Wolverine and the other staff continue to take a more backseat role so it kinda kills my desire to read it.

Was He'l on Earth decent? I'm about to read my Supergirls but I don't know if I should grab any other part.

It's not so much qualtiy but the focus on the character. I seem to like alot of stuff that is generally frowned on such as AvX and crazy stuff like Wolverine tanking a nuke. So I could probably get into some of the "weaker" storylines. I just don't give a damn about Omega Kid or Edi and want more Wolverine, Beast, and other Profs.

I was the biggest supporter of W&TXM, but even I can't defend this arc.
This current arc is just dragging and I do NOT give a fuck about Dog Logan! I'm disappointed that they got rid of the awesome Kid Gladiator and turned Broo into a rabid beast.
I'm reaaaaaaaaaaally not liking Sharkgirl or Eyeboy. Lame, boring Angel & Beak knockoffs. If they end up getting together... lol. Also, terrible codenames. They sound like Legion cast-offs.
Really, the only fun thing about this arc has been the other new character, Jia Jing. She's got great chemistry with Genesis (Who should be called Kid Apocalypse, btw).

eye boy is awesome. though i agree this arc needs to be done asap
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
Wait, is that...Sandman? And Superman Beyond Supes?
This is sad to hear. Admittedly I didn't jump on when I last had the chance because I saw Hulk and Wolverine about to throw down over Cake and it really just made me shake my head.
At least Batwoman has stayed great from what I hear. Don't see much talk about Nightwing on gaf, just Bats, Super, Spider and Hawkeye when I pop in lately.
Yeah. In some instances its not even really pretty.

Shark Girl? Eyeboy? Oh my god, this sounds worse than the circus arc. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!
Yea the circus arc was awful. Current arc is dreadful. Will drop if the next few issues don't pick it up.

Well, this seemed easier than finding FF #2...
Also random amazon pick-up just because (shipping cost twice as much as the book, and the book was only $1.75):

Dude, I was just poking around the shelves at Jeffrey's Toys... Managed to find 0-2 and then grabbed 3 since it came out last week. I was totally surprised that no one was really grabbing them actually.
Oh well, lucky for me.

Uncanny Avengers is cash, but if you're wanting a comic that's all about Wolverine being the best at what he does and other stuff like that...it probably won't make you smile.

I want to read that, but I'm probably going to trade-wait it.

Heard good things,. People are liking it, but are also hoping the payoff/reveal is satisfying.
Speaking of Daredevil, I read through #22-#25 the other day. So I ordered the first few trades. I was never really a DD fan, but Waid is writing some good shit here.

I would've preferred to have this digitally but when I found all of the issues on the rack at Jeffrey's Toys in San Fancisco... It was a no-brainier in just binge-buying it at that moment.

Anyone read Aquaman? I was thinking of looking into the series, kind of an impulse thing since he's so badass in Injustice.

Just read East of West #1. Man, Hickman is killing everything lately. Damn good.
Yeah, really solid first issue. I feel like it'll be a faster paced Hickman ala Manhattan Projects.

It's good
Nightwings good too, I might like it better than Batman. I don't like the new art much though
Give the first arc a try, The Trench. It's really good.

Yeah it's BS, and funny how only Reed and Susan are allowed to have a marriage.
...I should reread the Steph Batgirl run again soon.
Aquaman is good, most everyone here likes the series.
You'll be in for a treat, it's my fav. Marvel series and is a really fun series, as opposed to the darker ones previous authors were writing the DD series in.
And they only get to stay together because a divorce would break up the Fantastic Four. lol

Man if I were a multimillionaire, I'd pay Marvel to get Fraction/Dodson/Dodson or Fraction/Breitweiser/Breitweiser back to doing The Defenders 
It's cancellation still stings me.

Best Defenders series IMO is Keith Giffen & Kevin Maguire.
Mainly because its written in the same style as their Justice League run

Word, I say we protest!
Can't argue that, but you have to admit, Fraction/Dodson's run was fun as hell. Just seeing Surfer go through all kinds of shapes and get tripped out on ancient Wakandian herbs is just awesome.
The only other long term marriage that is still intact that I can think of is Black Bolt and Medusa.

Wait it had Silver Surfer on CRACK?!
Gonna give it a try again and see if I'll like it.
I was on Team Defenders from day one, but let's be honest: every single Defenders run is fucking doomed always. Fearless Defenders is next. The market is never gonna want a book of Marvel second-stringers and bit players doing weird shit around time and space. AND IT'S A FUCKING SHAME AND WE ARE ALL TO BLAME.

Fearless Defenders is probably going to get canned sooner or later. But it'd be a terrible day if they cancel FF.

It was issue 9 I think, I'll look it up in a few and confirm for ya
So true, and I don't see Fearless Defenders last past issue 8 to be honest...

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Just read Indestructible Hulk #6.
Did Walt Simonson suffer a catastrophic brain injury some time in the last couple decades?
I've never seen anyone's art devolve to that degree. The last few pages look like fan art.

I loved Defenders but maaaaan, that Dodson art. I can't deal with those chubby ass characters.
I really loved the Fear Itself: Defenders miniseries. Fractions run was great too, and I have high hopes for the current series, even though it will inevitably die.

I actually wanted the book because of Impulse's appearance. I really miss that version of Bart, he was such a fun & happy character during that time...
Morning Glories half off comixology sale....just buy it so you can see what we/people complain/love about it. I am not caught up completely, but initially i loved the book until Spencer got well ahead of himself as to where he was leading the reader, but i've never disliked it.

I like Dodson's art granted I'm speaking more specifically on his pin up and cover art stuff than his interior stuff. When he has to be quick to meet his deadlines his art quality absolutely plummets. Just compare cover art for The Defenders versus an actual page. It also doesn't help that his stuff doesn't mesh well with some colorists.
Or better yet compare The Defenders to Songes
