It is good! Although I think I'm like...5 eps behind (the end of season 1)...isn't there a Kanaan comic that's starting soon for it?
Also first post!

It's on my digi backlog.
I really dig it. Getting into all this cartoon stuff, and now I'm definitely going all in on the new wave of novels. I was hesitant to start at the beginning (A New Dawn) because it was so Rebels oriented, but hey, good news, I love Rebels!
I'm also 1/4th into Dawn of the Jedi, a relic of my attempts to go through all the EU, but now I think I should start with the NuU and just read EU stuff if I have some spare attention.
Thoughts, anyone?
I have moved all of my attention to the NuU as to not confuse things that happened before. I love being able to let go of a lot of the stupid shit like
Chewie's death

The one thing I always really wanted to get into was Traviss' Clonetrooper stuff, but oh well.
I did get a crap load of EU comics during that BOGO sale though. I always had a soft spot for Legacy.

Ghost Rider: Road to Damnation is quite possibly one of the worst Ennis tales i've ever read, and i've read Dicks. Yeesh.

I do...but I'll be honest...haven't read her solo comic yet! Just ordered Hawkeye Oversized Vol 1 (1-11) by Fraction and Aja...should I get Harley's solo?

Hey, new guy! Quick, what's your opinion on Harley Quinn?
This could make or break you, FYI.
EDIT: Shit, beaten.

Traviss' Republic Commando novels were actually quite good. It's a shame her work on Star Wars ended in a bit of a mess.

It's good if you're into goofy comics that don't take themselves too seriously. If you haven't read it already, I recommend Power Girl: Power Trip. Conner and Palmiotti worked on it and it's a really fun series. If you enjoy it, then I'd definitely say check out the current Harley ongoing (at least the PG arc and upcoming mini).
You did good on Hawkeye though. One of the best things Marvel has right now.

Reading through Waid's Daredevil (yeah I'm reading this before Bru's run, come at me brehs) and this is so good. I enjoyed what I read of it before (first ~8 issues) but after reading Bendis's run, it feels like a wonderful breath of fresh air. Everything is so colorful and vibrant, Matt seems a lot more optimistic as a whole, and it knows how to do drama. Seriously, stuff like
or
are all just fantastically executed.
Just some top tier comic booking going on right now. I just finished the 22nd issue. This past week or so has given me a new level of appreciation for DD and I'm happy about that. Definitely one of my favorite Marvel boys after this. Don't think anyone will ever top Spider-Man for me, but DD's at least top five (maybe even 3?) at this rate.

It's not comixxxxx but Anyone remotely interested in non-movie non-tv star wars owes it to themselves to read the thrawn trilogy.

See, this is why I ordered a Hellboy trade alongside Rotworld. In case I hated Rotworld - or, as it turned, hated half of Rotworld - I could wash out the bad taste with something I knew would be good.
And I was right. Conqueror Worm was awesome. I swear, Hellboy gets better with every trade I read.
Also, now I know why Lobster Johnson has (had?) his own series.

Don't worry about it. HQ is best avoided. Direct correlation between people reading that thing and doing creepy stuff like buying/obsessing over minis.
In order. Wouldn't bother with eps 4, 5 and 6, tho. Too old, hasn't aged well.

nooooooo messi
A New Hope -> Empire -> Return of the Jedi. Then, if for some reason you want to watch the prequels afterwards, Phantom Menace -> Attack of the Clones -> Revenge of the Sith.

Go ep 4-6 then stop. If you are really going for it then I guess do ep 1-3. But do not under any circumstance start with ep 1

You could also wash the taste out with Animal Man Annual #2. Though there may be a salty teary taste.

Oh wow David Mack is showing the preview of Kabuki library editions. I might have to rebuy it again. That gorgeous art in a library editions? Must have!

The easy way of getting that would to buy the fourth trade, and I'm not so sure about paying eight bucks for an annual I might like and four issues I probably won't enjoy after Red Kingdom.
Just watch the Holiday Special.
Indeed. You have to start with 4-6, the prequels should be watched as prequels.
1-6
Any thing other would be stupid since you have bought them all.

It's not hard. It's like MGS play order. View them in the order they were made. Why waste 6 hours to get to the stuff that matters

You could say the same for starting with fucking Phantom Menace. That's how you get someone to ignore the movies entirely.

No kidding. How many years did it take to get Messi to even consider watching. Saying start with the crap that tarnished the franchise is crazy land

I've only ever skimmed through Kabuki, but David Mack's art in the first arc of Daredevil that Bendis did was phenomenal. Seriously stunning work. How was the writing in Kabuki?
watch 1-3 only

Okay, honestly, I did start with Phantom. But I was like five or six and I was all, ooh, pretty special effects.

Part of me thinks Messi will come here and say he likes the prequels more.
TheDarkKnight774

I loved it. It's an amazing series that everyone should read. Mack takes an approach of melding the writing and art in creative and exciting ways. The first arc was a black and white college project that melded his love of art and his learning of Japan. After that he started mixing in other art forms. And the concept of a Japan female pop group that's secretly an assassin squad is fun. Even if most of the other characters don't get much screen time (except scarab)

I'd imagine that Messi likes Natalie Portman. Not to be accusatory or anything, who doesn't like Natalie Portman?
Natalie Portman is totes adorbz. She is in the prequels?

All three of them, yes.

*sigh* Baron that was a dirty dirty trick to pull to lure him to those awful prequels first

Shit. :|
Messi, Natalie Portman is basically the consolation prize for sitting through the prequels.

This. If you start with the prequels it is going to kill your enthusiasm for the series pretty fast. Watch the original trilogy and then get disappointed with the prequels.
Oh shit. I hate that even more than TPM..

It's clearly the worst of all the movies. Awful from start to finish
