Just remember that they are much darker than Waid's run. I should re-read them again as it had great art and good stories.

Just finished the first Ultimate Collection for Bendis's Daredevil, and man, so good. There is such a night and day difference between him on this and him on Guardians. The dialogue here just flows so well, issues just fly by. Plots move quickly and don't really aimlessly go on and on-- it's a great read.
I was spoiled on one plot point coming up years ago, but I'm excited to see it unfold either way.

DC comics are actual comic books in the Marvel universe.
I remember watching that Joe Carnahan sizzle reel and being kinda glad that that movie never came out because it would have never lived up to what was in my head. The series isn't really like that at all but man there are parts -- mostly the first half -- where it came real close to what I imagined that movie would be.
I liked the back half as well but there's a thing they do with one of the characters that I completely disagree with as a comics dood

Also, what happened to Milla is way worse because she was the best new character created in the past 30 years. The all time best girlfriend for any comic charac.
Yep. I still don't think I understand what the hell is going on in Multiversity, but I'm getting them and enjoying reading it all the same.
Beautiful worlds are getting gentrified by the coming of grim-dark monster-ideas?
Whatever is really happenning, it's been a great ride. I don't want it to end seriously.

Bleeding Cool is reporting that former Batman editor Mike Marts is now also former X-Men editor Mike Marts. No news on where he's going next.

X-Men jettison confirmed. Why would you need an editor for a line that's disappeared?
This didnt lasted long
Yeah it's pretty obvious at this point. They're totally sticking it to Fox now!!!

In my heart of hearts, i'd like to believe that this was because he kept telling bendis to learn to write gooder already. Then again, baldie also quitting x-nuhumans, so it might very well be the exact opposite.
Those first 15 or so James Robinson issues of Earth 2 were alright, but after he left the line quickly turned into Injustice V2.

So... it's good? Cause Injustice is amazing.

Waiting on some sort of collection before I jump on the Multiversity train. No other way to read Morrison, IMO.

So awesome that a hardcover for it is coming out this year, definitely gonna cop that.
Multiversity's just a lot of fun to follow. I haven't read Mastermen or Ultra Comics yet (gotta be in that Morrison mood) and it's really not a complicated series to follow. The first issue pretty clearly set up what was going down, and aside from Pax Americana (deepest lore), all of the oneshots I've read have been pretty simple reads. It's nowhere near as dense or complicated as some of his other work so I'm honestly kind of surprised to see people saying it's hard to follow.
Well, if you like False-Superman roasting Papa Kent with eye lasers, then it's amazing.

Starman #34-#36, Annual #2, Secret Files #1:
So many things happened in these few issues. And some great single issues too. A lot of build up for Nash. Sadie's revelation. The Ted/Jack issue was brilliant and so was Talking with David '97.
Nothing stops thomas, the marvel train.
Haven't posted here in a while since I haven't read too much recently. Last thing I finished was We3 which was Superb. That ending though. Trying to read Spawn Origins a volume 4 but it's not really entertaining me.
Promised myself I wouldn't make any more orders until I finished two-thirds of my pile of books but only made it through a third before I ordered:
Fables deluxe volume 5-6
Wonder Woman N52 volume 4-5
Wayward volume 1
Lumberjanes volume 1
Birthright volume 1
Ms Marvel volume 2
Angel and Faith library volume 1
Invincible ultimate collection 1
Planetary omnibus

Not five minutes into days of future past and I've got half a dozen mutants thrown at me that's I've been given no reason to care about, doing shit that someone probably thought was cool but actually is just pretty uninteresting.
Started GotG again instead.

If you'da given it another five minutes, they'd have resolved the problem of too damn many filthy muties.
But yes, the future parts are crap.

Also really hated how un busy and neon the future was. Really uninspired design all over the place. Same goes for the costumes and weapons.

Man you prob. should never read an X-book, like EVER, they have waaaay to many characters thrown at your face just for the sake of there being too many mutants and that they wanna cram as many into an X-book as possible.

The Taylor issues are pretty much Injustice v2, only with a seemingly good ending (it's retconned by the new writer afterwards). People's main complaint at that point was just the addition of too many Superman related characters. After Taylor leaves and the World's End series starts then the main Earth 2 series pretty much implodes and isn't enjoyable in any way, and World's End was never good.

Which is why 95% of the film takes place in the past without costumes.
Unless you consider 70's pornstaches and hair helmets costumes. In which case, dinklage.
Aside from when Magneto goes glam at like, the very end.
Been there bro. The movie pays off for all that early crap. #believe

I was being facetious in my previous post. I've read it all and I personally really like it.

You liked late Earth-2 and World's End? Hm. I tried continued reading them, but just continuing the invasion story, making their previous victory completely meaningless felt really hollow. I also didn't like how they handled Dick's introduction, especially considering how they seem to want to set him up as the next Batman, but had no background ties between them at all.

Joke post? No significant mutant was ever introduced without like a four part storyline introducing them.
Next.

I've fallen off the post Taylor Earth 2 core series. I still pull and read it but it's nothing special. But yeah, I actually enjoyed Worlds End.
I didn't look at the victory as being meaningless. It was a battle against impossible odds and they struck many blows that showed they weren't going down without a fight. You're right that the Dick stuff was alot of setup; I'm not sure where they are going with it. But that was part of the beauty of the series. I can usually tell where most stories are going but I didn't really have that same experience here. I'm really curious to see what they do with Earth 2: Society. The premise seems really interesting. Rebuilding a world/society with a few million survivors? That sounds cool.

Why have I noticed that cyclops was in the giant size x men cover, making it look like he's shocked at seeing himself?
