I haven't used it in months, and I think I've never even tweeted about comics.

I have a feeling that you would pester her until she committed suicide. Then Selina could get the writer she deserves! XD
Fuck no. Id be nice to her. I'm sure her work doesn't represent what kind of person she is or else she would be a really shitty person.
It really is. It's honestly the best breakthrough comic from last year in my opinion.

Dear DC.
Turn every animated short you have ever done into a show. I'm serious. All of them. I'll buy whatever stupid kids merchandise you require for this to happen.

I can't disagree. Sad that it went to 6 weeks so quick.

OMG, especially those Wonder Woman shorts from a little while back.
Dude, it was one issue. And it was all set-up. Once he gets to K'un L'un, shit is going down.

I strongly agree. That Bruce Timm one was unbelievably amazing.
DC needs to make that Wonder Woman show. Please dc.

They dropped the ball by not doing SBFF. Though at least we got the figs. I will cherish them.
i didn't like the set-up though Xp. I tend to give every book 2 issues since by the time i get the first issue i've already pre-ordered the second. I'm only sold on Secret Avengers so far out of all the new books i've tried. She Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Moon Knight are close, then Iron Fist. Inhuman #1 was the worst so far and most likely dropped. Time to read Silver Surfer #1!
in an effort to buy less books monthly, i'm judging #1s a bit harsher than usual, and there is always Marvel Unlimited and trades if i regret things or skip something.

I would have sworn that was going to be the case after Teen Titans Go. I kept thinking we would hear about a SBFF show after the figures popped up.

They should relaunch the trinity with a similar style and have crossovers and guest stars build up a cohesive animated universe. Then the Justice League when the "film" is close to coming out.

You all have to buy Skinned:
https://www.comixology.com/Skinned-1/digital-comic/91079
20 pages of pleasing art and an original story concept for 0.99$
Next is Translucid (6 issue mini-series):
https://www.comixology.com/Translucid-1-of-6/digital-comic/89690
3.99$ but it's gotten me hooked from the start.

The Batman Beyond short is up, and it is glorious. Particularly the little bit at the end.
Dunno about it too, I'll have to see. I think I may have to wait until a trade for IF, it will probably benefit me more.

Every image Eisner nomination trade is half off on comixology
https://m.comixology.com/Image-Eisner-Nominees-Sale/page/1673
Lots of good stuff to choose from

Yes please
especially SBFF, Batman of Shanghai, Lois Lane.
Bring Beyond back while they are at it.
I just realized that Velvet isn't nominated for a single Eisner. Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting were completely ignored. What the hell is this shit??? These guys are pouring their heart and soul into a fantastic espionage book, yet apparently the industry doesn't care. They were just recognized for The Winter Soldier run with the movie, yet that wasn't enough exposure?
No offense to any other entries, but that is a complete joke. Did Bru piss someone off? It never seemed to me like there was any bad feelings. Ed is wisely being gracious about the whole thing though, he's friends with all the Image creators nominated.

I don't know. I found ti really odd. It certainly wasn't what I was expecting.
I presume because it's by Andrews who did Spider Man Reign maybe? It's weird that i'm gravitating so heavily towards whimsy lately, but gloomy books are bummers. Lazarus...
Andrews said in an interview that he thought Aja/Brubaker version of Iron Fist was boring so he's going to mostly ignore it and introduce some angst and grimdark stuff.

As long as we get kick ass action scenes iron fist can be about what ever

I'm about to take the plunge and buy a year of Marvel Unlimited.....
What are the pros and cons of the service?

Right now it doesn't work too well on android devices, updates are sometimes too sparse at around 15 new issues a week ( current series are on a 6 month delay to get on Unlimited). If you have an ipad i recommend it though since there are tons of great books to read.
BigJonsson

I saw the Android issues but I was going to use my laptop for now anyway, and I guess I don't care about newer comics right now, I want to read some of the older runs
Whoa, I read the first issue of annihilation and wow
Well, we know it's great. It reminds me of the last remake of Tinker, Tailor with its strong Seventies feel. And Velvet is simply glorious.

You're talking about an industry where people like Ann Nocenti can find work. I'm really not surprised.

Never!

I think you're being unnecessarily hard on comics now in an effort to save money.
Hey that was a fairly positive impression! I ordered it mainly because of Allred, i'm not really a fan of Slott's Superior Spidey writing or the premise of a galaxy hopping adventure, practically the same premise of Fractions Fantastic Four but with time travel that i didn't like at all. I was surprised i liked the book, the few pages Slott used to set up the girl were effectively done and i liked the end, didn't really like the Surfer stuff though.
tough but fair Xp
Guys, I want recommendations for good or important Green Lantern books pre-rebirth. I have preference for trade paperbacks, but if I can only find them on comixology that is ok too.
I was thinking about things like the death of Hal Jordan, the first appearance of Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner, etc.
So what do you guys say?

sillymonkey's opinion of Silver Surfer pretty much reflects mine as well
I picked up a bunch of books at Wondercon:
Five Weapons #5 (now i can finally continue reading it)
Bucko HC

Juice Squeezers #1
Adventure Time: Sugary Shorts Vol. 1

Uncanny X-Force: Vol 2 Deathlok Nation

Whew, read my Fear Agent Vol 2 off and on today and made it through the first 2 story arcs, Hatchet Job and I Against I. What a trip so far! Remender is a master of unravelling a story and making you think your losing the story only to bring it tightly back together. One arc to go and have no clue how it's going to end.

Gamestop will be "selling" special editions of the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man #1 via their Power Up Rewards program. It's an alternate cover with a little "Gamestop Exclusive" stamp on the cover. They did the same thing with a Brian Wood Star Wars #1 some time ago... Print run of 6,000. It costs 6,000 points on their Power-Up Rewards store. It's up for pre-order now.

Cool, preordered it. Had a little over 9000 points on my card.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I was working at the Doubletree just down the street on Friday and today. We rarely go outside San Diego County. There was a huge job in Dana Point two weeks ago, though.
No time to go inside.

Anyone know the reading order of the whole collection of X-men Age of Apocalypse.
Cover is eh, IMO. Gamestop points are always so expensive. :/

The Star Wars one actually went for some decent $$$ on ebay, though, which is why I mention it.

damn, that sucks. It's a good con, though the guest list was weirdly like 50% as good as last year, if that. that wasn't great. At the same time it felt a bit bigger than last year and it's clearly growing in popularity in Anaheim (not SDCC levels, but as a mini-SDCC, it's getting there)I was working at the Doubletree just down the street on Friday and today.
