I already had the first two issues preordered, but I was still kind of apprehensive about C.O.W.L.
No longer worried, only excited
Yeah that looks really cool.

All-Out War reminded me of a few of Marvel's big events. An ambitious story that could have been less drawn-out and completed in half as many issues. As you said, AOW had it's moments, but most of it was fairly boring. And that 2-page "I believe in Rick Grimes" spread was groan-worthy.
Hopefully the cover of the next issue is indicative of a bunch of new characters. I'd LOL if it took us to a completely different part of the country, too.
So you're complaining about Messi's whining and buying of the book?
I can't argue anything he says. It's all true I know it is but I can't bring myself to drop it. But people shouldn't assume I don't read those older runs. I do. Selina didn't become one of my favs by the stories told in the new 52.

They probably make so much more between all the collected editions they sell to TV show fans who need their fix, the single issues don't matter that much.
The trades sell by the truckload right?

If you really love Selina, then you'd drop the book instead of watching her get dragged through the mud. If you keep buying it, the DC top brass will think "oh! It's selling well! Let's keep Nocenti on it!"
The nightmare will never end this way.

Brubakers catwoman is awesome.
Messi you are basically the reason catwoman is bad right now, sorry man.

The bookstore charts are basically TWD, Saga and manga, so yeah.

Brubaker's Catwoman is amazing. I'm in the middle of reading his run at the moment, just got sidetracked for a bit. I'll probably get back to it this weekend.
In a word? Yes.

Hey outside of Prophet, Manhattan Projects, and Saga what are the really good Image comics right now?
Zero.
Black Science
Just curious.

I'll argue the point about what you prefer for you. You'd prefer a good Catwoman book, but since that's not an option, you're doing this.
I hope I love a character that much one day.

What is desirable about loving a fictional character so much, you would continue to support, buy, and complain about their shit coimc books month-in and month-out?
Reducing my nihilism, of course.

Yeah, pretty much this.
I'd also add East of West, but that one can feel a bit disjointed at times. Check out the trades before considering it for your pull list. I'm also a fan of Alex + Ada.

eew $4 20 page books. I don't buy any of those unless they are discounted so I'd drop it in a heartbeat if they raised the price. It would probably make them a bunch of money though.
It's not Ales Kot (sadly), Rafa, or a Cincy based guy. His name is Vic and he does pixel art, school outreach programs, and self publishes his own books. He does a lot of cons which is how I met him.

Thinking about getting the Catwoman and Batwoman trades for my girlfriend to let her give those a try. What do you guys think?
Okay guys. I've been waffling back and forth throughout the month so I'll ask one last time: does IST cycle these company sales like they're having now for IDW frequently, as in one will probably show up again in a few months? Or is it a buy now or else type situation?
Also, the issues in TMNT Classics are the stuff from the original run but not by the creators (whose stuff is in the Ultimate Collections), right? Is that stuff worth going all in for now if I enjoyed the Ultimate Collections? Or should I pick it off bit by bit?

I could be wrong, but didn't they imply that Frigga and Odin finally had a child at the end of the last Thor run? I didn't read that one much beyond Everything Burns when it crossed over with Journey Into Mystery?
Batwoman yes
Catwoman no. Get her Brubakers run on Catwoman, it's the best Catwoman run. The current Catwoman book is for bad people with horrible taste. Avoid.

K, thanks. I have a few Batwoman issues, but I think the trades will be better for her.
I'll check out the older Catwoman, then. She only has the #1 issue from the new 52, so it's not too hard to drop.
Also, UGH. It appears that I have lost some older issues I had. Can't find my Static Shock trade and some Spider Man stuff. I feel like sticking to digital. :/

I've only been visiting IST for a few months but so far it seems like they have a monthly sale at a time. I wouldn't worry too much about it, they'll eventually have a certain publisher on sale again.
Ah so she is at the peak of the Catwoman new 52 run. People here can vouch for my status as the guy to ask about New 52 Catwoman and it's 'writers'
Brubakers Catwoman is 3 trades of wonderfulness
Mine just arrived today, and the packaging was great. I was worried at first because the box was so large, but when I opened it the box was stuffed full of padding. I'm quite happy.
In related news, the difference between the Planetary Omnibus and the Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus in terms of binding is night and day. And I've heard this is a consistent issue for DC Omnibus editions. Why doesn't DC insist on making prestige editions that you can actually open up and lay flat before page 238? They can do it with their Absolute editions, so I don't see why they suddenly become incompetent for the Omnibus line.
