When is the US release? I wanted to go see it and was disappointed when I found out the initial release was UK-only.
I watched the trailer and it seemed like it spoiled almost the whole movie, but I'm still super excited to see it.

Out now.

WAT!? Man, I was sleeping on this one.

So I can stop getting hit for $8 a month in Avengers books? Good.
Lol you know I'm in NY...it came out on Friday. Wide release. It was basically an episode of Black Mirror.

No, I just thought it might have been a press screening or something. I thought the release wasn't for a couple weeks for some reason.
So tell us... did someone fuck a robot? Did someone go all Hank Pym?

Now you'll get hit with $200 a month in Secret Wars books. Better.
So I'm totally the sort who's out of the loop, which this following statement probably shows, but I just watched Birdman for the first time, and had gone in knowing virtually nothing about the film. I definitely enjoyed it, though it definitely got a bit artsier than my usual fair. And I've now watched two movies that are essentially done as one big cut, the other one being when I watched Rope for a film class.
(Does this count as comic related enough? Maybe?)

Nah man, I'm not going all-in on Secret Wars like that. I've got four or five I'm looking forward to, but most of them don't really catch my interest.
Possibly. But the moment the movie ended I was euphoric. I finally know how Ben feels when he gets hyped. Ex Machina was right up my alley and was exactly the movie I needed to watch after Fast 7 last Friday.

DCBS shipment arrived and finally read some comics.
Avengers: Rage of Ultron
This was pretty good, Opena brought the visuals and Remender made a very interesting Hank/Ultron story. Larraz did some good work as well. Really good cast Remender used,
was a great addition, Remender seems to love to use Spider-Man just to up the style of the book. Also, Vision had an amazing part. There were some things I didn't like but this is one of the better Marvel OGNs that have come out.
Runlovekill #1
Not sure what I thought about this, the art is amazing but the story is kind of weak. I'll give it the first arc to see if it gets better. I think the world and the premise doesn't really appeal to me.
No Mercy #1
This, I like. A strong first issue filled with character building. Looking forward to the next issue.
Savior #1
I'm kind of on the fence for this one, Clayton Crain did some fantastic visuals in this (especially the two page spread) but the story barely presented itself. Going to stay for the first arc.

So black mask is really catwomans greatest arch nemesis at this point right? First Brubaker's run and now the current one. I kind of like it
Man, I really don't keep up with movies that aren't comic movies well. Had to check that the movie you guys are talking about wasn't an adaptation of the comic Ex Machina. Like when I was checking movies a bit back and did a double-take at that Nightcrawler movie, before I realized that of course they didn't make a solo movie for that guy that goes bampf.

I like Wilson's X-Men a lot. Who's taking over the book after her?
We don't even know if the book will survive after Secret Wars.
Birdman:
hey wait, it's about a play?

I gotta admit. I'm not a fan anymore with what Soule is doing with the Inhumans. Dropped plot points everywhere, no sense of a larger world or players, nothing to the characters. Shame.
It was worth it to me...
That Street Fighter crossover for the Joe Mad issues tho...
So I just finished the Busiek/Perez Avengers omnibus. I'll post actual thoughts tomorrow, but before I forget: it ends on a teaser for whatever's next I guess, and there's a guy there who is apparently named Carnivore or something that I'm not familiar with, and... he's just straight up wearing something that really looks like Psylocke's outfit at least to me. Like, I glanced at the page and thought I saw Psylocke and then went... huh. Then again, it's getting later and I'm a little sleepy now.

No, I liked the issues. I just didn't like have to pay $8 per month to keep up.
I bought the avengers and new avengers Hardcovers of 1-12 of each last week on IST. I'm going in.

That was Johns, right?
i spent all my comics time on digital stuff, mainly Star Wars Dark Times on MU through issue 17 and then into the other mini that followed it. I'm finding it enjoyable without anything too remarkable that has me coming here saying Jedi Hijinx. It's a grim book, which is okay, taking place after a star wars movie Messi probably hasn't seen yet. I need to go back to Legacy soon, i remember that one being quite good.

I quite enjoyed Legacy. It was consistently good to the point where I bought all of the trades as they released. Probably my favorite Star Wars comic series so far.
I think that run is being split into two omniboo so he probably means the next volume?

I can safely say that I know absolutely nothing about Death of Wolverine, and I have not spoken to anyone about Death of Wolverine, and no one that I know, in fact, knows anything about Death of Wolverine.
I'm okay with that.
Finished Whedon's run of Astonishing X-Men. Phenomenal stuff. The writing and the art were incredible, Blindfold and especially Armor are great contributions by Whedon, and this book just made Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost for me. Kitty I already liked a ton and like even more now, but Emma regularly stole the show here. She has two monologues that are just aces.
Someone told me this was one of the GOAT X-Men runs and I believe it. That ending. 😭😭😭

I found that a bit confusing, too. People are generally either in the "Comics are for kids" or "Comics are for everyone" camp. If it's the former, they won't give a shit what you're reading. Who cares what other people think, anyway?
Was this a random thought you had or did someone post something like that?
They'll pay for it (◣_◢

Someone in Zombine's Intro to Comics thread said it.
I've been looking at the last page, can't find it. I'm still looking.
EDIT: FOUND IT!

Death of Wolverine was decent. Soule tends to level out at decent/okay for me

The batman books to read are Snyders Batman and Tomasi's Batman & Robin.
Eternal was a sorts of self contained weekly batman book which was a year long arc that was used to launch various other Gotham books and stuff. It's not 52 level of awesome but it was decent in areas.

Batman, Batman and Robin are no brainers. Detective with the new team around issue #30ish has great art and a decent story. Batman Eternal plays around with alot of the Batman Family at the same time so it's more of a sprawling epic.
