Just got back from The Winter Soldier and feeling inspired to grab that new Black Widow book...it's good yeah?

It's really good, it could even make the leap to great over the next few issues.

Nightcrawler or Iron Fist tomorrow? No both.

Iron Fist

 

[Freezasaurus]

Iron fist. There are enough X books out there.

Messi speaks the truth (as long as it has nothing to do with Nocenti). Only X-books I even read anymore are Uncanny and All-New.

 

[KoruptData]

How would you all rate the first 5 issues of Black Widow? Do you feel confident it will be a great run when all it's all wrapped up?

 

[GrandHarrier]

As someone who dropped Teen Titans after Death of the Family, I'm interested in the Wonder Girl/Red Robin relationship, has that been expanded on or did nothing happen?

They are sort of a thing again.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I think the first three issues were a good bit stronger than the last two have been, but I have no reason not to stick with it for now.

 

[arkon]

Teen Titans relaunches in July, Will Pfeifer to writer and Kenneth Rocafort to draw (Newsarama)

Switching with Lobdell, but Rocafort goes with.

I like Rocafort's art so that's a nice change. No Lobdell is a plus too. Have no experience with Will Pfeifer though. It's going on the maybe list.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Have no experience with Will Pfeifer though.

His Catwoman stuff was pretty good.

Fairly confident. If they build to something bigger, and don't get lost Hawkeye-style (I still love Hawkguy, but it's been fairly meandering for awhile now) it could be great. I'm enjoying the episodic nature of the book and Phil Noto's art is so, so good. He draws the perfect Natasha/Natalia/whatever you're having yourself.

 

[Bauhaus]

Any good comic books that collect silver age stories like the “Best of DC (Blue Ribbon Digest)”?

 

[Dysun]

Cocky twat is kinda my thing, is whiny bitch yours? None of that stuff really mattered, especially in a divergent timeline. All you needed to know was "bad shit went down".

Yeah your posts drip with the pretentiousness of a raw twat, so it's no surprise. All I needed to know was what was promised, why Jean Grey had to leave the timeline. And the answer to that? "Bad shit happens I guess, maybe we will show you that future later". On top of setting up a battle with no follow up

I loved them all, I don't know what that is worth around here. I love Phil Notos art and his Natasha is perfect. It's going to read really well as a trade.

You guys need to cool it with the insults. Be civil and discuss your issues without attacking each other. I have no interest in reading you two trading insults.

 

[Owzers]

Y'all are going to make me reread my digital issues of BOTA to remember why i hated it, and if i do that's on you. Another overly long Bendis event that disappoints...

Nah, i'm playing Infamouse today, this is a trap.

 

[KoruptData]

As someone who admits I'm reading too much Bats and Supes, I have decided to cut Batman/Superman from the list. That's the only cut I could come up with so far.

Ah, man, that book rules when the real creative team is on it.

I hate you.

 

[Filthy Slug]

I hate you.

Haha. That Pak and Lee combo is deadly for the wallet.

I'm not even gonna lie, my pull has been overtaken by Marvel as of late. This is the first time that's happened. Don't worry though--DC's got weekly comics to keep the pulls equally weighted. Phew.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Ah, man, that book rules when the real creative team is on it.

Batman/Superman has yet to disappoint me, even when it's not Jae Lee on art.

 

[echoshifting]

Picked up the first issue of Black Widow and goddamn. Marvel is killing it with this new wave of books. I am reading or wish I was reading virtually all of them. I might have to skip Age of Ultron so I can jump on a couple more...tragic, I know

 

[Freezasaurus]

I might have to skip Age of Ultron so I can jump on a couple more...tragic, I know

...I see no downside to this. You get more Marvel NOW books on your pull, AND you don't have to read Age of Ultron. Win/Win

I read Age of Ultron. I wish I didn't.

 

[Messi]

I hate you.

You need to add more bat books, do you read Catwoman?

 

[echoshifting]

...I see no downside to this. You get more Marvel NOW books on your pull, AND you don't have to read Age of Ultron. Win/Win

I read Age of Ultron. I wish I didn't.

But but time travel!

I've actually already read AoU 10AI...and feel like I probably got everything I needed to know from that.

 

[Freezasaurus]

But but time travel!

More like 8.5 issues of nothing happens.

 

[Filthy Slug]

You need to add more bat books, do you read Catwoman?

If the answer is 'yes', then at least you'll have a buddy for when we rocket you into space (or New Jersey) for your Noncensi-based crimes.

Well, at least I wasn't the only one thinking it. XD

 

[KoruptData]

I'm not dropping any thing for now. See how things go.

You're going to carry on with Vendetti on Flash?

 

[KoruptData]

You're going to carry on with Vendetti on Flash?

Van Jensing has been reviewing well with Green Lantern Corps. I was gonna try it.

 

[Kipp]

It looks like a 400-page Jonah Hex TPB came out today. I've never read anything Jonah Hex, so I'm curious as to how it is.

It looks interesting, to say the least:

 

[Vibranium]

Oh boy, according to a Bleeding Cool rumour is Marvel is really going to attempt to kill off Fury Senior, to promote a character nobody gives a crap about (everyone is reading Secret Avengers for Spider-Woman, Hawkeye, Black Widow, MODOK and maybe Coulson). The funny thing is Nick has been dead so many time nobody will take it seriously, good luck with that.

At this point I've just resigned myself in frustration, hopefully Fury will be back at some point when Marvel realizes it's pointless.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Proper time for a list:

All-New Doop #1
All-New Ultimates #1
All-New X-Men #25
Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #1
Nightcrawler #1

Every time they kill off Fury, just assume it's another LMD. Damn, those things are convenient for retcons.

You can't cut Batgirl. You are a monster.

 

[Filthy Slug]

You can't cut Batgirl. You are a monster.

Yeah, but dude, check it out, I left Harley.

 

[Messi]

Yeah, but dude, check it out, I left Harley.

He wouldn't cut Harley, I know Korupt and know he thinks it's quality as he should.

I like you again. I was thinking EXACTLY that so far. Except Zero, I will get that in trades.

[bfwings55]

Can a brother get some more Batwoman love in here

Obviously I miss JHWIII but the new issues have actually been pretty damn good. A lot lighter than the old stuff but honestly it's still high quality stuff.

 

[KoruptData]

Messi, that over Batgirl? How you gonna bring Olivia into this?

 

[tm24]

Have we talked about how hilariously bad the cover is for the Teen Titans relaunch?

 

[slightconfuse]

[Vyer]

Got the SAGA vol 1 trade that was on sale at Amazon in today. Curious how it reads collected.

 

[Messi]

Messi, that over Batgirl? How you gonna bring Olivia into this?

I really like Batgirl, I just don't really vocalise it on here as much as some other dc women I like.

 

[bfwings55]

I guess there is no Batwoman love....

 

[Messi]

I guess there is no Batwoman love....

It's a pretty good book but the loss of JH made me care a lot less about it.

 

[bfwings55]

Have you read the post-JH issues? I honestly like them.

 

[Messi]

Have you read the post-JH issues? I honestly like them.

Yeah the storytelling is fine but the art took a big step back.
