Thanks, I will look into it when I get a chance.

It wasn't really out of character to me. Look at all the times Mark has been
"dead". Eve has had to grieve and accept him as dead multiple times within a few years. Remember when she had the abortion? She told him not to go after Levi but he did anyway and left her to think she'd be a single mother. He is gone too much for 6+ months at a time and she is finally tired of it.

Do I even want to know the cost?
Getting caught up on Uncanny Avengers, but sadly I'm gonna have to stop reading. How can anyone enjoy a book that has so much black space on a page?!
Seriously though, it's amazing how much better this book got after that initial arc.
This is what happens when you accept stuff like Moon Knight
But wouldn't it make more sense to use the slush money from the best selling books to bolster lesser books, to let them find an audience, instead of pulling the plug six months in and going back to the tried and true? Nothing is given time to breathe any more. You either become an instant success or you're taken to the gallows. If Disney and Warner Brothers are using their comics as potential IP farms, why not allow some of these time to actually grow?

Wait, did we move on from Nocenti comments in every post? We're on to complaining about blank panels?
OK, I'll stop.
eBay. Lucked out and found a seller who was accepting a best offer and worked out an excellent deal. The rest are $350 and up.
I know, I love it!!

I just read the Uncanny X-Force omnibus and would love to know what your thoughts on it were.
That's a bitchin Carol statue Cheska, post pictures when you get it.
Kind of related, but I wish this was a thing I could buy:

Omg I would buy the hell out of that.
The first Uncanny Avengers story arc was a pretty mediocre tie-in to the Avengers vs X-Men aftermath, but after that, it's basically a continuation of Remender's Uncanny X-Force with some Avengers thrown into the mix. The past year of Uncanny Avengers has been dealing with the fallout of the Dark Angel Saga and the ending of Uncanny X-Force. Some plot threads from Uncanny X-Force, like
Pestilence being pregnant with Archangel's child
Have you guys checked out http://www.welovefine.com/? They sell a ton of really neat pop culture related merchandise.
I have, when I first saw that image floating around online I thought it was from We Love Fine. Sadly it was not.

I dunno if I enjoyed it as much as the rest of ComicsGAF did, but it was a good read. It was a little confusing for me when it first started, as it was the first X-book I had read since Morrison's run on New X-Men and I had no idea how or why Warren could switch between Angel and Archangel personas. I actually dropped the monthly title and just got the trades from the library, I think Remender honestly reads better that way.

I'm unsure if North American comics are only allowed to be discussed here, but I've been reading a lot of European comics, such as Corto Maltese, Lucky Luke, La Frontera Invisible, le Troisieme Testament, Alex Alice's Siegried, & a lot of the Spirou comics.
I'm also looking forward to the next issue of Archie Comics take on the Classic Mega Man series, especially with the upcoming crossover that is going to be... interesting, at the least.

All comics of every type are welcome and loved by somebody here.
Edit: Did a cursory search on the titles you named off. Corto Maltese looks pretty cool. I'm a sucker for period pieces like that.
It's a pretty awesome series, from what I've read. I've forgot to mention that I wanted to hear of any recommendations from you guys, with regards to some excellent European comics to read (aside from what I've already mentioned, as well as the more obvious choices, such as Asterix & Tintin).

Iron Fist and Lumberjanes were both pretty cool
They have some cool stuff, I bought the I <3 Hawkeye tee from the issue 9 cover there
Awhile back Chris Burnham was tweeting about a French comic called Metabarons that sounded cool as hell. It sounded all space opera-y and stuff, I really need to try and track it down.

Might not wanna sleep on it too long, as it seems to be out of print according to Amazon.

It is. I own both volumes currently available in English.
After volume 3 of Saga I may have had my fill. I'm not sure the gorgeous art can sustain my interest. The story is just a meandering soap opera that's going nowhere fast. How many times can a new character appear and be someone's ex or relative? How many times am I supposed to be shocked or intrigued by some simple sexual innuendo? OMG, splash page for a nude woman with a unicorn horn! And at some point in the past she took whats-her-face's virginity?! Who gives a shit. Virtually every character is in some way pansexual, it ain't shocking, especially not when the reveal is relevant for all of 2 pages.
Oy, and the cloying, precious narration by the daughter from some point in the future dropping little tidbits of mythology here and there. How I Met Your Mother called and wants its gimmick back.
But damn, that art... and Lying Cat... and the occasional cool bit of sci-fi/fantasy. Unfortunately, I don't care about any of these characters or their barely existent agendas.

Spoiler? Issue 16:
Gwendolyn hallucinates some unicorn chick and says she's the person who took her virginity.

Spidey Fact: The Wall was created by Tom Whedon, Joss Whedon's father.
Also release the Superior Spider-Man OHC faster. We should have been able to catch up before Amazing Spidey's return but we will only be halfway with the books.
