I'm reading Batman stories published in 1972 in the Jim Aparo hardcover collecting his run on The Brave and the Bold. They are a bit dated. Great art though.
 
Did the color editions of Scott Pilgrim get removed from Comixology? I can see them when I search for it but get an error when I click on them. Any idea what's up there?
 
I'm glad Fantastic Four and FF are the cheaper of the marvel titles because the rest of their stuff is way overpriced. Really want to get into Thor and Hulk but $4 a pop is a bit much.

some local shops offer a discount

you could pre-order from dcbs and get 40% off

buy the trades at amazon or someplace , should be around $15 for about 5 collected issues and the hardcovers might come with a digital code

$4 comics are pricey, if not for dcbs i'd probably trade wait them or wait until they hit Marvel Unlimited.
 
this superman unchained spread sounds insane

It will be an eight page foldout of an epic battle with superman on one side of the foldout, and on the other side, the same battle from a different angle with a new perspective. It will show Superman fighting a planet-sized enemy and the foldout will enable the relative size of the opponent to register. We may get a visual later…

Sounds almost as cool as this scene:

Three page spread in 'Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine'

i've never read any Astro City, it sounds neat, i'd probably buy some large omnibus collection but am not sure about jumping in with the upcoming story.

Really all the previous arcs are self contained stories. They keep the same characters and setting (obviously) but take place at different points in time in the history of the city. The upcoming series should be totally safe for new readers to jump into. At it's heart the series is as much about the city and its citizens as it is the heroes that protect it.
 
So anyone tried The Eight Seal by James Tynion IV?

Cool stuff! Loved the art.

And did I mention that it's free?

If you liked it you could support the team and grab the digital version at Comixology for just 1 dollar! The art is higher res, and the reading experience is much better since this is was thought as a digital comic from the beginning.

Give it a try guys!

I really like him. He's going to be big in the future. It's why I'm so disappointed in the most recent Talon issue.
 
Thoughts on Richard Stark's Parker? The first three trades are on sale at comixology, i remember liking the Mel Gibson movie Payback and i read the first trade a long time ago and liked it, how were the next two?

So who else is picking up Astro City when it comes back this summer?

I do. The series in general is really great. (Not a very big fan of Dark Ages arc, though...)

However, this particular arc makes up the whole series for me. Easily my top ten arcs of the genre.

Busiek has said that once they get rolling the series this year they would start pushing hardcover colletions for the rest of the original series, including this arc. Can't wait to get it in my hands...

The idea of a political horror does intrigue me. I may give it a shot. :)

Giving it a try. Art is indeed really nice, seeing from some preview pages on their site.

Yeah Dark Ages was the weakest arc of the run so far, it was still good mind you, but my least favorite. Confession was second only to the Tarnished Angel for my favorite run. The big reveal in Confession was amazing, but I just loved the entire run of the Tarnished Angel so so much.
 
Took another big chunk out of my unread comics pile.

Hawkeye and FF were fantabulous, although I needed a few issues of Adventure Time to cheer me up after Hawkeye #9. Manhattan projects is totally bonkers and I love it. Issue 10 revisiting some of the Oppenheimer stuff was superb. Can't wait for more. Caught up on Adventure Time's time travel arc (like I said, months behind on some series) and it's still so good. While I haven't watched all the episodes of the show yet, I'd say it does a very good job of capturing the feel of it. One of the most consistently feel-good comics I read.

Probably Prophet, Hypernaturals and Bravest Warriors next.
 
Picked up the Batman Inc. trade and issues 9 and 10. The first comics I've read since Green lantern, and my first foray into Grant Morrison. Enjoying it thus far!
 
Is there a TPB or the like that collects the covers for the Pre 70s Superman and Batman comic book series? Ya know the ones usually featured on Superdickey?

There's going to be a bunch of stuff you won't understand but just go with it. I've pretty much forgotten most everything Morrison wrote before this (it's been a long time, yo) and they're just very good action comics.

Look up the Archives Editions. So Superman, Batman, or World's Finest Archives.

Ah sorry I meant ONLY the covers, but I'll check as I recall there was a big HC collecting various covers from certain issues.

Currently reading The Bat and the Cat by Fabian N. and Kevin Maguire, hilarious and amazing artwork by Maguire (gotta love how he draws those expressions)

Thanks for spreading it around! Nice to hear a few more people are enjoying it.

That's what I'm interested in the most in that story. Poor Static gets no respect at DC, guy needs some love.

Adding Static to the Titans just makes too much sense for DC to actually do it. He'll end up being spotted in the background during Trinity War.

Love this art. Looks very Gary Frank-ish.

What do you mean, won't understand? Anything in particular?

I should add that I meant my first foray into comics since the Blackest Night stuff a few years ago. So I've read some Batman stories, just not many recently.

I'm not too familiar with the character but weren't they planning to do that pre-New52?
 
Fuck those people that didn't cheer for a Cyborg series, but DC will probably give him a series since the fans don't want it. Johns will launch this brah to stardom.



Finally ordered Fear Agent and Manhattan Projects. Prepare to have all other comics ruined for me.
