Don't be glum, you can get the latest issue of Deadpool for $9.99!
I just saw that Mark Millar's Jupiter's Legacy got picked up by a studio.
What a sweet deal to just be able to print any six issue comic book and immediately see movie money from it.
Why don't you read it and tell me how it is first?
This hurts me deep in my soul. You were meant to be the Catwoman to my Harley (Freeza is our Ivy). Pls Cheska. You were meant to give unbridled support to the sirens.

Mark Millar be straight-up shitting movie deals.
Actually, that's one I forgot a few pages ago - I could easily see the Convergence Question issues selling well enough that they decide to bring back Renee in the role, just because of the absolute disaster that Nu52 Question has been. It's relatively simple to do and would be pretty popular, and gets another female hero on the books.
They'd probably have to skip over all the nice pre-Flashback characterisation that lead to the change the first time. And preferably just pretend that Nu52 Question's origin never happened.

Please tell us afterwards whats happening with Miles
Really? Dang. I suppose I should have guessed with secret wars and all that. Still, Miles will be back.

Personally, I'd prefer DeadshotxFlag yaoi
I've heard that there was a current Simone Secret Six with Catman, but I think that's incorrect

Ordered the Orion omnibus. I have not read anything before with this character or by this writer but Greg Burgas' blog post convinced me. I've enjoyed a lot of his other recommendations.

In OT news - just saw the verge Apple watch review... It feels like it was more about the review/reviewer than about the watch itself.

GH pls
Deadpool spoilers:
But they didn't get to resolve what happens with his wife and her newfound army
Your store has a Harley end cap? What's on it? Just comics?
I'm gonna report you to the mods.

Ah, apparently it is Bruce. I thought it was Dick from the solicit and the costume.
This is what happened me but digitally.
Well I was always gonna buy Harley. But the rest were total impulses.

I'm afraid this will happen to me. Initially went in wanting only the Shazam one, now I'm looking at fucking JLI, JSA and like 8 other ones.
I dunno if we're still allowed to talk about comics here or what, but any week that has ODY-C and Nameless is a great one in my book.
Burnham has a few pages in this month's Nameless that straight up look like Moebius, to say he has elevated his craft for this book would be the understatement of the century. The story continues to be horribly macabre, channeling the most interesting parts of Event Horizon. The last few pages (especially the last page) are the stuff of nightmares. Burnham is really the star of this series.
Fraction and Ward keep up their Jodorowsky/Moebius space opera take on the Odyssey humming right along. Honestly, this book is just as weird and creepy as Nameless but in completely different ways. Fraction cutting ties with Marvel may have been the best thing for him creatively.
I get the feeling that Descender is going to be a space robot version of Sweet Tooth, and that's ok. Lemire always does his best work when his stories have some sort of familial bent to them, and that is clearly going to be the case here. Nguyen's art is stupidly good and he does that fun trick of shifting styles between flashback and current events.

Tim throwing out Moebius comparisons like Oprah.
Ody-C deserves it. Book is stellar. I think the only people reading it monthly are Tim, Filthy, and myself...

Oh yeah, but the series ending is somewhat strange. I got into comics back in 2008 (thanks Dark Knight and Iron Man movies) and the first stuff I tried out was Ultimate Spider-Man. I still love it (even if Bendis has his shitty moments, he rarely disappointed me with USM) and seeing the series end after all this time is a bit weird. Okay, the final MM USM weren't all that, but it's still a shame to see it go.
And oh Gameproff, this
It's fucking nothing! Well sort off. Hyrda/Doom start their experimentation, weird power awakens, gets dragged somewhere, Miles wrecks both Doom and Hydra. New Ultimates arrive too late, Katie gets dumped (SKANK!) and while they happily exit the facility A RED INCURSION HAPPENS
Basicly this. Isn't the end the series deserved. Should have gotten a Giant Size issue or something.
Only where applicable, in both instances it's totally justified.
Yep, lots of people skipping a damn good book. You also know the pages I'm talking about in Nameless, you posted one of them here after I pointed it out (the ship flying over the asteroid).

Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
I agree with everything else you wrote about Nameless and ODY-C but I just wanted to add that Nguyen is putting out some of his best work with this series. I remember talking about Nguyen a bit when his Batman Eternal issues came out, and the art was good, but somebody pointed out that the coloring flattened and completely ruined his otherwise beautiful work (pretty sure it was Birdie). I gotta say, after Descender #1, I'm in total retroactive agreement. This is how Nguyen's work should look, man:
Yo, I'm so happy that Fraction is doing this Homeric adaptation/translation properly and confidently. Takes balls to release this epic every month, and I'm in awe as I read each issue.
Can I request a commission of tim and Oprah Yaoi?
It seems like it. But some interior pages in Secret Wars #1 show that Ultimate U is gonna be part of the spotlight in that book as well.

More like Ultimate!Reed is the true Doom of the Ultimate Universe.
That's actually pretty funny.
In any case, I don't get why people are so assblasted about these things. Does some artist's cover really matter that much when there are likely thousands of similar or even more offensive drawings out there?
I am too scared to google that. You guys are into some weird shit.

Have any of them turned out particularly bad yet, though? I have yet to see Kick-Ass 2, and Starlight is basically Flash Gordon anyways, so I'm sure it'll be good. Did Chrononauts get picked up, too?
EDIT: I just remembered that Wanted is one of his as well. I liked that movie, for what it's worth. Solid action. Morgan Freeman's final speech at the end always gets me.
According to every GAF thread that shows up involving new covers or designs in comics: yes. Especially to those who have no interest in comics, but just want to be offended about shit.
The answer is always 'yes'.
I would say that the artist captured the female form better than the strange as shit Spider-Woman cover. Her waist is slightly off, but it's not horrible. Notice how the thong presses against her skin? This happens. In real life. There are girls who look like this Harley...in real life. This custom cover is legit making fun of everyone who gets up in arms over dumb shit and I love it.
Now i definitely won't. This is clearly a set up.
