"A Game"? More like "a game".
Ha ha ha ha oh man I'm sorry, I don't even actually believe that, but I couldn't pass up such a brilliant gag.
Nah, you're mostly right. Firestorm, Hawkman, Voodoo or Hawk and fucking Dove weren't A game. They weren't even B game. They were like, G game.

I have to disagree about Voodoo. The first 4-5 issues were actually rather interesting. And Sami Basri's art is consistently gorgeous, not to mention being a damn machine to putting it out, month after month, without a single delay or missed issue. After Ron Marz was let go the series suffered because they pulled back from the shades of grey it had been going for.
I think all Marvel hc's come with digital codes now.
Reading more of the future previews it looks that way. When Marvel said that first volumes of Marvel Now hardcovers would come with digital copies I thought there was a chance of it only being the first volumes, but the second ones looks like they get copies too.
If I wasn't already buying the series, I would probably just wait for a $1 sale on Comixology. Not required reading so far.
I keep hearing this...but haven't read the comic yet. I just know they made him a whiny baby in one of the new Justice League comics.
unless it gets really good reviews towards the end i think i might wait to see if it comes to Marvel Unlimited, AvX is showing up there now, though i chose to buy that at the time. If it were just Age of Ultron plus that last Avengers 10A.I issue for $39.99 msrp i'd consider getting it at dcbs at half off, but 75 is a steep starting price even if reduced to 37.
And to everyone bummed by Immortal Iron Fist Omnibus being hard to find, Marvel are putting out Complete Collection tpbs of stuff at the end of the year, including Immortal Iron Fist that will be $39.99 and have the same contents as the omnibus :O

The "Bullhorn" segment is open to anyone, not my personal soapbox. If anyone has something they'd like to talk about at length for the May thread, send me a PM and let me know.
Dont read it, it's a waste of time. Jeff Lemire took over at issue #17, but what preceeded it was pure garbage. It's better now

That is so weird. I'm all about converting my floppies to digital, but I bought a HC, why would I want it in digital, especially an oversized one?
I guess on the go readin but...
humh
Convenience of having a bunch trades on a tablet for commuting or traveling I suppose. Still, it's nice to see them so fully embrace digital, unlike Millar.

I look back on that era with a different mindset. I was SO EXCITED. I bought nigh on 40 books. So many broken promises. So much Scott Lobdell.

I just watched Superman Unbound and it was one of the best Superman movies out there. I love the quality in DC animation.

If I had told you Scott Lobdell would write 4 Superman issues in one month two years ago! Embarassing

I don't consider his opinion valid because it basically boils down to him not supporting digital since he has friends who run shops.
I'm in for some good comics this weekend. I picked up the Whedon's Astonishing X-Men omnibus and the second volume of The Manhattan Projects.
Seriously, I thought it would be so cool. Then...Lobdell.
Someone should do a bullhorn on how Lobdell sucks balls.

Swamp Thing and Animal Man ripped a piece of my comics heart out and gave name to my dislike of the new 52. And those were some of the better new 52 books.

So did anyone else happen to check out their BAM? I'm curious to see what else was out there besides what I scoped at the local.

Is it out? I thought it's release date is may 7th?
The hardcovers are certainly pricier... by like 6x. And we have to wait another 4 months for Vol 2 to hit.

I'm assuming piracy, might be wrong though.
Yeah DC is pretty good with the animated stuff.
Still think Year One looks horrible. Those dead eyes....

While it doesn't always work best, overall, I appreciate that they try to honor the visual style.

Superman Unbound is already available on digital distribution networks like PSN and Xbox Live. WB has been releasing their animated DC features digitally ahead of their retail release for a while now.
So do I, but there's also realizing that said style isn't going to work.

Doing my comic book catch up since last weke when I was busy with work and stuff:
Wonder Woman #19
Of all the Nu 52 stuff, this si the only book I'm enjoying along with Morrison's Action Comics run.
I really feel bad for the poor kid, and all this is happening without him knowing about it.
Saga #12
Fucking good issue, and I really feel bad for IV, he really shouldn't be going through all this shit.

I love that Nightwing. A Batman through the decades series would be very badass if you got a bunch of these artists/creators on it, I think.
