I'm picking it up. Waiting for #3 to arrive so I can start reading #4. :/
It would be lost on me. I can't buy a comic for a movie I've never seen.

Fuck yeah guys, Bii posted pictures of his sweet ass white counter again. Is it even a counter? Who knows.
Is it even white? D:
Oh man, you're in dangerous waters now man. All dem Americans here and their love for everything Star Wars...
I don't care that much for Star Wars either. Watched all of the movies, the original trilogy I somewhat enjoyed. Except for Ewoks. Because fuck Ewoks
I don't trust things that try to wedge in between other stories. "This is stuff that happened in between two things i already saw". Same reason i don't like prequels, it limits creatively where things can go.

Darth Vader is the least interesting part of Star Wars.
Close, but incorrect... Boba Fett is the least interesting part of Star Wars.

Boba Fett has a jet pack. Nothing with a jet pack can be the least interesting.

No, that would be the Trade Federation or Jar Jar Binks or something.

Just keeping it real. I've got enough good comics to read (or not read), I don't need to blow more money on a franchise I legitimately have no interest in.

I prefer the Star Wars EU to the movies more often than not. My favourite time periods of Star Wars are the Legacy Era and the Dark Times, especially the Dark Times. I gotta check out that Kanan book at some point.

At the end the villain made mention that the surviving worlds would make up the NEW DC multiverse which means that Multiverse guidebook that we all spent $8 on 2 months back? Yea its already non canon

I've heard 'x will save comics' enough times to just laugh at anyone who mentions it, no offense
The new Star Wars comics are doing 90s comic #s

Reading Howard #2...is the whole

Also, so far, it's better than the first issue.

No chance of Battlechasers any time soon. Joe's a busy man, think of all the video games that are out now.
Messi knows.
Maybe I should try Silk.

Francavilla did a movie poster for Ex Machina:

I'm on Vol 4 of More Than Meets the Eye.
Shit man this series gets brutal. The way this book goes all out with mutilated bots that have just enough of an analogue to humans is kind of unnerving. seriously, fluids and lubricants flying everywhere.
The book also uses a great sense of scale. So a lot of the lesser known autobots that make up much of the meat of the characters are literally smaller in scale to some of the heavy hitters. All the 'big names' that people would know, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, etc. etc aren't really all that present in the series (well except for Magnus) but when they do appear their stature visually matches their status.
It also gives it much more weight and feels much more dire when these little guys are throwing themselves against what are, for all intents and purposes, actual monsters and fighting for their lives.
Just a really impressive series all the way around.

I went nuts when Tai and Matts digimom reached the mega level.
I am currently at the Skullgreymon episode. So much nostalgia. I really hope Digimom Tri is going to be good.

I'd love to rewatch the series but I'd break down in tears like a little girl when I reach the final episode

The later episodes were pretty dark. It started with Myotismon and when the kinds returned to the digiworld. The last episodeI'd love to rewatch the series but I'd break down in tears like a little girl when I reach the final episode

Season two is on Instant Video, too, but I am not sure if I want to watch this, too.

That comic is SHOCKINGLY good. I honestly can't believe how great this new batch of SW comics are. Top tier talent really makes a difference. I liked a lot of EU books back in the day, but they just don't hold a candle to the straightforward funk of this Darth Vader book, or Aaron's Star Wars.
Just drum tight storytelling.
Looking for some stuff to read tonight and I realized I have 3 issues of Nameless I haven't started yet. Is it impenetrable Morrison or readable Morrison?
For reference, I've been reading Multiversity and read Morrison's runs on Batman Inc and Action Comics and I couldn't make heads or tails of any of it.

I mostly go along for the ride with Morrison stuff, i didn't think Nameless #1 was too out there. It's a little weird though.

It's a little weird, but that's only because the story themes are intended to be (think Cthulhu mythos in space). As far as the writing, it's completely understandable. It's not Invisibles Morrison.
it's lite Event Horizon Morrison

The movie looks phenomenal. Really gonna try to convince the wifey to see it.
I feel that poster is one of his weaker ones. The coloring on the robots face is just not as striking as his colors usually are. He definitely tends to use two color schemes with great efficacy but this one is a bit meh for me

I've heard of that series but never took the time to follow it. Will read it someday for sure~
Bob's Burgers is written by the shows writers and is amazing.
I heard the Adventure Time books are good.

I'll agree with Messi, Bob's Burgers is great if you're a fan. Adventure Time is nearly always good. If you're looking for a complete story, I can recommend Marceline & The Scream Queens or the Fionna & Cake mini.
And there's always Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, although Last Stand of the Wreckers is standalone and amazing.
