Not explicitly. I know of it because it was an anime a few seasons ago. I stopped watching after four or five episodes. It was originally based on a Japanese boy-love visual novel.
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
The only genre I still care about.

I haven't missed an issue since the days of Howard Mackie. I imagine it's like giving up a long-term relationship. I live in hope it will get better. There's only a couple more issues until Renew Your Vows. After that, I'll see who is on the book (spoiler: still Slott) and see from there.

I can only hope that Fraction and Kot enjoy their copies as much as I will!
I still think Identity Crisis is good.

Good lord. I don't even know how many books I pull anymore. Not 58, tho.

I read OS and thought "yknow what, this was completely passable. Also fuck whoever decided to get rid of Fury da GOAT".
Then i read Axis and realized that OS wasn't half-bad, actually. Couldve been a lot worse.
Btw, you should read the Clone Saga. And One More Day.
I am still collecting the clone saga, a couple of books are really prizy.
And One More Day will never be read from me again
It was Saga, but I dropped it after the third trade. I think by the end of Aquaman by Geoff Johns I was over his emphasis on big widescreen action, but that ended before I really had to ask myself whether to continue.
Not sure I have anything left that leaves me somewhat unsatisfied after reading... DC's made it easy for me drop their ongoings simply through creator shifts, only Batman remains. My focus is all on indies now, and a select couple corporate books from the smaller publishers (like TMNT).

Just sub MU, mate.
Ah well, since youve already experienced the joy of OMD, might i interest you in some.... Ultimatum?
Comigaf hates it, so it must be good!
No, just a all print Spidey collections is a worthy collection.
And yes, Ultimatum was shit. But every blind chicken finds a corn from time to time
;-)It's such a shame to see someone from Comics-GAF still inverted.

Still not as terrifying as Issem.
I read each issue hoping Anna Maria shows up
I'm bummed she didn't exist during Spider-Island because that would have been so great. Maybe she'll make an appearance when they revisit it for Secret Wars?
A brah can dream...
That's a team up I can believe in!

Am I a bad person for completely forgetting that Silver Sable was dead?
No. I hope for a recon in a not to distant future

Oh man and now I remember that Rhino is also dead because someone thought the fucking Rhino needed an edgy and dark storyline

Oh my god.
It worked though.
Yeah but how good did those tater tots look?
Never saw one of those in the wild
But they looked delicious as hell in the episode.
Somethings really wrong with you americans when you try to let people sound like germans. They always never sound like germans at all. The dudes in the fast food lab sounded like people from swiss. Here in Hannover we speak the clearest german from all german speaking people in the world. Zero accent.

I buy about 13 issues a week of cheaper CMX DC and image. So around 52 issues a month.
And I read 8-10 MU comics a week.
So my monthly upkeep is around 84 comics a month?

Only in comics.

Tater tots are actually complete shit and fall somewhere in between a French fry and a McDonald's hash brown. It takes a lot to cook them well, and even when they're cooked well they're kinda shit. Just go eat some other kind of potato.

I don't think we can be friends anymore. Your bang and clang atkins diet bullshit can gtfo.
I'd add a tater tot themed comic to my pull list.
I just heard that in my mind in the most stereotypically german accent ever.

Question: So while looking for something to get into, I decided that Suicide Squad could be something I might like. When I checked the wiki on dc it says the New 52 run has 31 issues but when I check Amazon and instocktrades for the new 52 volumes, it ends with volume 5 which collects up to issue #30. So what/where is the 31st issue?

The general opinion around these parts, or at least in this thread, is "No, it isn't."

Ah .. bummer. Maybe I should just subscribe to Marvel Unlimited for now and just read through Guardians and Deadpool. That should hold me for a bit.

Do not buy this. It's shite. Get the 80s Suicide Squad run on CMX, or if you want something similar in a physical book, get Secret Six Volume 1: Villains United.
