Maybe this run or something, I dunno. Catching up on Spider-Verse, Spider-Island and Superior were all probably my favorite parts of catching up with MU, but just reading the first couple issues so far it just seems so generic and safe? Maybe it's just a quick throw-away arc to kick off ANAD but the whole idea of globe-trotting high-tech Spider-Man just doesn't feel much like Spider-Man for me.
It's different sure but I really enjoy it. I am enjoying it way more than the last reboot.

Why is Wonder Woman so poorly drawn in Comparison to Batwoman (and basically everyone/everything else) in the latter's World's Finest arc? Her face.... goodness gracious me.
I blazed through the first 30 chapters of Saga recently too. I fucking love it.

Got rid of mine after a month and a half. Glad I did now that Nintendo has nothing until next year.

Yeah, I'd get one again at a really cheap price point. I bought mine for $320 or so IIRC. Not worth it at the time.

I think I need to read Nameless at least three more times to like it for anything more than being a gory visual spectacle. The world was interesting, the body horror and unsettling imagery were very effective, but story-wise...it just was. I can't say if I liked the narrative or not, or if the story was good or bad, because I could barely follow along.

Some thoughts of stuff I checked out recently:
Phonogram #1 - Not sure if this series is for me. I don't feel I can really appreciate the references, and the main character being a douche tryhard doesn't do much for me. Plus, it's in black and white. I know, I know, whatever.
Monstress #1 - Fantastic. I definitely want to read more of this. The art's great, the world's interesting, and it's not in black and white! Too bad it's a new ongoing series, and I hate following ongoing stuff.
Descender Vol 1 - Love the visual style. The storyline is pretty much a much of scifi tropes thrown in a blender like what Mass Effect did. Still a good read though. Would be a better read if it were complete. Hate following ongoing stuff!
My Fatale HCs haven't arrived yet. Getting impatient! >_<

I put them in the wrong order. The good one is the old one, gone forever.
Went to the LCS to try and find a series or two to get into. Is there an absolute must-read book out now? Saga and Sex Criminals I'm reading in trades, and Black Panther #1 looks like it might be a fun one to get into (do we know how long the Coates involvement is gonna be?) , but just curious if there's something that is absolutely essential on the shelves right now.

I feel like Vision and Omega Men are classics in the making but not many people seem to talk about Omega Men and it doesn't sell well so I may be the only one on that side.

There's a bunch of Omega Man fans here. I think at this point it just makes more sense to wait for the trade collecting the whole series since it ends soon.

Yeah, am waiting for the trade. Comes out in August.

Why is Kyle Baker doing this to me
Why can't he just use his regular style instead of this

Monstress is drawn by sana takeda. I could recommend a few other books she worked on if u want
Fatale is by ed brubaker right? Need to catch up to his work
He seems to be referring to that as season 1 and that he will be doing more than season 1

Looks like one of those "How to draw anime" by Chuck Whiteperson books you see in a Barnes and Noble.

Being Nintendo. They don't give a fuck.
Nintendo wastes most years, it's what happens when no one supports your system and you still make two of them at all times.

The year, the whole current generation. Take your pick.
I just found this and felt like I should share:
Erica Henderson is doing Cap now?
Just kidding, Squirrel Girl fans. Don't kill me.
Got this in just now.
Bought it since I've heard pretty good things and it was on sale for only $14.99 on Amazon. Now I just need to get volume 1.
Man I love dust-jacketless covers.
bruh me too! might pick this up now

That Baron Zemo is in the film? Didn't Daniel Bruhl confirm he was playing Zemo like a year ago?

I avoided nearly all media about the movie, so I have no idea who he is or who he is playing. That might seem like a trivial thing, and I know it is, but it just disappointing. I'm probably overreacting.

Batman 51 was a great conclusion to their run on the series. Lots of great parallels with the first issue but with the characters in completely different mental spaces. Just real good comics.
That one panel
was perfect.

I've FINALLY read the first 1000 issues of Marvel based on the Marvel Chronological Reading Order. I'll post up an impressions thing at some point, however briefly I'd have to say it hasn't been a totally terrible experience. Some parts are largely forgetful but the moments that were good WERE good - mainly Spider-man, Fantastic Four and Avengers.

I wonder what spoilers might exist to people who read the entire Civil War series. Maybe I'm missing something major since I don't really follow MCU stuff until it releases on digital video.

Yes. Do it.
Double do it.
Do it twice.
Actually just the once is probably fine. Very similar to the Rocket's playoff strategy this year, one win is enough.

Mother's Day is coming up. Nothing says "Thanks for giving birth to me!" better than East of West. One for you, one for Mom.
great series
Very nice. Do any of you have the year one hardcover? I'd love to see a couple of pictures of it.
I've been buying the flops so far, haven't rebought it in hardcover form yet but if the quality keeps up i'll probably get it like i did Manhattan Projects.

Yeah, I have it. I can't take pictures at the moment, but it is a gorgeous book. Really high quality stuff.
