Holy shit. I think I somehow missed reading Catwoman #0 or something because I don't remember THIS, lol.



Kill it with fire.

Just keep going you don't need to see this. You don't need to know that maybe Selina kyle is not Selina kyle but an alias from another life.

GrandHarrier has gazed into the abyss, and has discovered the abyss gazes into him.

 

[ReAxion]

I hope the smoke monster is on the island with Green Arrow.

Superior Foes of Spiderman #1 - Wasn't really feeling this one. I get what they're going for with the band of misfit villains, but none of them really seem interesting or charismatic enough to carry it for me.

I implore you to give Foes another shot or two. The story does its share of carrying.

I hear it becomes middling after the first deluxe edition

I love it and I'd call it ratcheting up the tension, def not middling.

"Initial reactions" were clearly by people who didn't end up reading the book and thus didn't know it was basically a comic book version of the best parts of LOST, with none of the wack four-toed statue mythology elements.

Interesting. Yes.

Arena... is good.

You know as much as I try not to hate on stuff.

DC is really kind of bad these days as a whole.
They just seem to want to actively destroy most of their characters.

What on earth is going on there?

DC is selling a lot of books, that trumps a mediocre vision. I am interested to see what Johns does with Superman, and i'm definitely in for Multiversity combo packs.

Elaborate? Honestly, could you probably count on one hand the number of titles that are actively bad and a majority of them are distributed between Nocenti and Lobdell. As someone who pulls almost the entire line, I'd say the only actively bad titles, currently are (imo):

Definitely
Catwoman
Teen Titans
Superman (base version)

Maybe
Red Hood and the Outlaws
Suicide Squad

Troubled but improving
Superboy
Supergirl

Tom King the co-writer for Grayson has already done a comic book. Here is a video preview of it.

I came back to comics for New 52 and now don't pull a single book. I think I'll catch up on Batman and B&R eventually but I'm not in a hurry to do so. I guess I'd like to read Wonder Woman sometime too.

It's practically cliche to point this out, but editorial is such a mess over there. The anniversary stunts and overlong TW/FE impact on many books just killed my interest in the entire line. They make it so easy to jump off. That needs to stop.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Just finished Fear Agent. What a masterpiece.
I don't really have anything else to say, but yeah. Incredible.

 

[echoshifting]

Nowhere Men isn't even on my radar but it's all over those noms. Anybody here reading it?

 

[TetraxShards]

Cannot wait for Rafa's reaction to Kelly Sue DeConnick, Eisner award nominee.

Matt Fraction stays winning. Saga will probably clean up though.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Nowhere Men isn't even on my radar but it's all over those noms. Anybody here reading it?

On the list of Birdie's greatest comics to ever come out

Spoiler

this week

, he says its one of the greatest ever of all time

LMAO @ Jordie Bellaire being nominated for a million different comic books. She never sleeps. Dave Stewart never loses though.

 

[slightconfuse]

Nowhere Men isn't even on my radar but it's all over those noms. Anybody here reading it?

yes is awesome but the trade collects all the issue out so far. the series has had massive delays which is wierd that it got a best continuing series since there has been a new issue for months.

amazing art and sense of design.

also they have an inferiority complex

Fiona Staples has gotta get the cover art one right?

WTF? Was someone on crack when they voted for Demeter as a nominee? It was self-published for a reason: it was utter dreck.

 

[arkon]

Glad to see Mike Del Mundo get a nomination for his cover work. Great stuff

 

[Dan]

Nowhere Men isn't even on my radar but it's all over those noms. Anybody here reading it?

I read the first trade, it was fantastic. It's kinda vaguely like a modern Manhattan Projects revolving around tech/media moguls. Kinda. The important part is, it was really, really good.

 

[ElNarez]

How the fuck is the Oatmeal a fucking Eisner-Nominated comic like what the shit happened? (by which I mean, it's kind of a shit webcomic, not "all webcomics are shit")

I hadn't heard of Watson and Holmes. Is anyone reading that? It sounds pretty cool.

Right? So damn good. So much

Mark Twain

goodness.

Yeah, those quotes were great. Makes me want to read something of his soon.

Man, there are so many things I want to say about Fear Agent, but I can't really think of the words. Luckily most of you guys have read it so you already know. If any of you haven't read it, buy those two library editions for $28 each on IST and proceed to feel like you were horribly undercharged.

 

[ReAxion]

How the fuck is the Oatmeal a fucking Eisner-Nominated comic like what the shit happened? (by which I mean, it's kind of a shit webcomic, not "all webcomics are shit")

I agree.

 

[ElNarez]

Also, do we make predictions? Because I wanna make predictions. Gamify that shit.

 

[phoenixyz]

Yeah, it's something that you'll have to read again once it's over. That's because those few issues were written and drawn over a decade so it will feel weird.

Yeap, you just started, so don't fret. Follow Elijah Snow as he works through the secrets of Planetary and his past. You're meant to be in the dark for that aspect of the story, but the first few issues are great distillations of specific genres/comics history.

Okay thanks, I'll carry on then.

.

There's no comic available that's more accomplished on every level of form, design, and storytelling available, so even if it was 10 pages a year it should be nominated.

That said, nominating Monkeybrain books for Digital/Webcomics and not just plain old comics is some fucking Stone Age, retrograde thinking.

Yeah. Everyone should read Adventures of Superman, Greg Pak Action Comics, Supes/WW, Supes/Bats , Batman, WW, Animal Man (minus Rotworld), Batman & ___ , Trillium, Wake.

Superman line (minus Lobdell Superman) hasn't been this consistent and strong in a long time.

Controversial opinion: Jeff Lemire should take DeConnick's spot

Huh, I wonder if Tynion is pissed. I'm surprised DC would do that to Snyder's protege.

This move is for the best I feel. We get to see the real FE epilogue from the proper Grayson team instead of what amounted to unnecessary filler.

DC should provide JT4 NW30 as a bonus epilogue in FE #7 as penance for the huge delay.
