It's got Steve McQueen and Robert Vaughn in it. If nothing else you will learn how to be fucking cool from the masters.
That one is awesome. Lots of them are really good.

Messi, Batwoman Annual #2...
Wat? Just wat.
I sure missed something by falling off from regular reading of the series proper.

Yesssss. You did a good thing, buddy.
I was about to reply to your original post telling you that you absolutely need to buy Doom Patrol, but looks like everyone else had already stepped up and did it for me. I agree with everything everyone has said about Doom Patrol so far. One of the best things ever printed on paper. I really ought to reread it soon.
Haha. Perfect.
I'm not knocking him. I'm speaking purely from the point of view of a (some would say entitled) reader and what that reading experience is going to be like. I'm putting money down for the new printing and maybe beyond that if I like it enough. By cheap there I mean cover price and not much more, certainly not paying those exorbitant ebay prices. That said, I can understand why some would choose not to bother with the single issues if the schedule is one or two issues a year and it's going take another 5 years to complete. I may even find myself in that position based on my feelings about that 1st issue. At that point I'm wondering why not wait until you have more issues in the can. Suppose he wants some compensation for the work he's put in already.
And then it gets me thinking aloud. Has there been a case where somebody builds an audience with a release schedule like that, an issue or two released a year?
Good luck to him. Sounds like he's been through some shit in the last few years. Maybe this move will give his career the push it needs?
No you didn't. It went to shit.

It's also required reading for Daredevil's new San Francisco era.

I need help figuring what is going on with Amazing Spider-Man, maybe not the right thread but I couldn't spot a more relevant one.
So, I order my comics what, 2 months ahead and I am really confused with Amazing Spider-Man, probably stemming from the fact that I haven't read any since Superior. I can't spot a #19 and I have no idea what the Spider-Verse comics are, what Secret Wars is and what Renew Your Vows is?!

I'm so happy
at the prospect of a Remender Avengers book featuring characters like Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch or Sabertooth.
He's been writing them with so much subtlety. It's gonna be Axis every month.

Basically, Secret Wars is the big Marvel event for the year and almost all of their series are going on break during it and I think ASM #18 is the last one before then. In the meantime we'll be getting minis (I'm going to assume they're all minis until they say otherwise), so ASM is getting replaced by Renew Your Vows which will be like an AU story with Peter and MJ married with a kid I think. Will this have any long-term effects? Who knows.
Spider-Verse was the last big Spider-event before Secret Wars comes out. So it was this big event that had every other Spiderbook (2099, Spider-Woman started for it, and some other tie-ins) involved. Was it good? I have no idea, but it doesn't sound like it was as good as Spider-Island.

Inspired by a Kipp OT. Man, we put an offer on a house yesterday and after seeing a bunch, this is the one we really want. Were even willing to sacrifice statues, and lootcrates, and a bunch of other stuff to get it. Waiting to hear back is brutal though.
Awesome!
Buying a house is my main life goal right now. A year from now I'll be in a really solid place financially and definitely be able to buy a house, so I'm really excited. I mean, I was planning to buy a house early this year, but then that whole Colorado fiasco happened... But it'll be a much more comfortable financial situation a year from now, so it's probably for the best.
But yeah, congratulations on finding a place and putting an offer down! I'm jealous.
House buying process sucks in general. There's always something. But it's still a great feeling once it's yours.
Hopefully everything goes great, but don't be too down if it falls through though. It's easy to worry that you've found 'the one' and lost it.... until you come across the next 'One'.
You're not missing much with Lootcrates...they have been uninspired garbage.

Seriously, soooo damn good. I don't get the hate its getting, as a weekly it was half as long as the others and I thought it told a great story. There were some low points but any long format story will have that, overall though I really liked it.
I loved Batman Eternal too, I'm happy with both that and World's End as weeklies. The only one that fell flat for me was Future's End. It had moments of being good but it was mostly meh.
Convergence 0 too, this is going to be interesting.

Morgan Le Fey (spelling) gets woken up, and Batwoman, Batwoman's sister, Clayface (who doesnt remember being evil or a criminal), Ragman, and Etrigan come together to stop her. She runs to the moon and does some shit and that's how she gets I believe her castle back in our world. They come back from space to Morgan basically in a position to do some bad shit. It's stupid how they structured the story, because the moon and space stuff all took place in that first issue of the new team, with everyone being like WTF??? Then it took this REALLY long round about way to set them going up into space, basically tell the readers hey go back and read that issue again, and then they finish the story.
The last one was pretty blah, but my kid and I have found some value in the couple we saw before that.
I only like the SHIELD badge because I'll use it at NYCC

Agreed. I'm about a week away from having been a homeowner for a full year and Looking back, I don't know if I could go back to being an apartment dweller. The space, the peace and quiet, the garage are all amazing.
Everything about buying a house sucks. Mortgage brokers have terrible customer service.
Remender. Someone emailed him for clarification, he plans to do a follow up to this sometime after SW is published.
Awww, it's finally rounding out, too.

I knew it was canon but had no idea it was
an exciting glimpse into the future.
MEGATON, especially considering Sabretooth is still an Avenger.
But are we sure it's after SW? He mentioned a follow up but technically Rage is a follow up to his Secret Avengers run. Everything he writes is a follow up to other Marvel work of his. I guess I'm missing the direct confirm that this particular story takes place after SW.

Don't do Amiibos kids. There bad for you.
Bought Marth when first launched. Sold it for $130. No regrets.
Nocenti would be proud of that shit.
Especially interesting as
the descendants referred to Sabretooth as "mutie" considering people are convinced the mutants are all going to be inhumans after SW.
I think that 1) what happens to Hank at the end and 2) the return of Wasp post-Axis means you have to place it after Secret Wars

Drop them monthly so you can pick them up for 50% off in a nice trade later on. Doing shit like this blows but even I had to cancel some subs and drop a shit ton of books to live happily. We get caught up in this hobby and feel like to we have read everything to legitimize our fandom, but the reality is that none of it matters, and that your life is more important than some meaningless drawings.
Korupt turning heel on Rat Queens and Sejic.
