Is Zemo alright? I expect them to nail everything else but I always worry about the villains.
Its clearly about the heroes, but I consider Zemo as good as Alexander Pierce and LokiIs Zemo alright? I expect them to nail everything else but I always worry about the villains.
I'd say any recent tablet released in the last few years supporting HD resolutions will do a fine job with comics. From there it's just a matter of accounting for what else you want. Android/iOS? Expandable storage? Etc.
I know some people that have been more than happy with smaller 8" tablets and those in this thread raving about the larger ipad pro. For my part I wanted something as close to a standard comics page in size, with expandable storage on android. I settled on the Galaxy tab s 10.5 a few years ago and have been happy with it ever since. If the ipad pro had been out at the time I was buying I might have been tempted.
Also worth bearing in mind that you can't make in-app purchases of comics on the iOS comixology app any more whereas you still can with the android app.
I don't really know a whole lot going in but display and compatibility with different services are the only features I care much about. Size I'd want it to be a little smaller than a normal comic. Storage shouldn't really matter since it's almost exclusively going to be for comics. Price is definitely the most important thing though so it doesn't need to have much power or extra features. Hoping to run into someone who bought one of those dirt cheap tablets from walmart and had no problems meeting all their comic needs.

Yeah, I liked him a lot. Very different to previous villains in the MCU..

I still think Winter Soldier is the best simply because I never expected it to be as great as it is and elevate the universe in so many ways, but it's pretty damned close.
I never watch films theatrically twice, and I've been discussing going back to watch it again with people all morning.

I didn't really expect it to beat The Winter Soldier either, but there was so much good stuff in it.

It's not like I expect him to be an integral part but even when the villains are they kinda suck, Loki included.

That's cool I'm trying to keep my hype on the low after Age of Ultron but everything is pointing to the Russo's knocking it out of the park again. Only have to wait till tomorrow.
Anbody with a Surface use it for comics? Whats your setup app wise and were do you buy comics from?
I downloaded Cover and bought TDKR and Flashpoint off of Google Play, then converted them to non DRM using an app. Its a hassle.
had a surface pro for about a month. loved it as a laptop, but didn't really like it much for comics/just a tablet. everything was kind of a hassle as a tablet IMO. every ipad and android tablet i've ever used was a better experience as far as that goes.
I love Snyder's Batman run, don't get me wrong, but does anyone else reading his run sometimes think he's a little bit too much up his own ass? Reading the first couple trades and having recently read 50 and 51 I just always assume Snyder is happily grinning at how great he is every time he writes a line.
not really. everything i've ever seen or read bout Snyder never really gives me that vibe about the dude. what I do get that is that he is a dude that really loves batman. like he has a deep reverance for the character. i think sometimes that's a little too strong and carries over in his writing. but i can't hate someone much for just loving what they are working on.
hamiltonbook.com has restocked quite a few books. Shipping is $4 for the first book and $0.50 for each additional book if I remember correctly.
One Million Omnibus - $30
Geoff Johns Teen Titans Omnibus - $50
BPRD v2,v3 paperbacks - $8 each
Absolutes (Final Crisis/Identity Crisis/Sinestro Corps War/Superman For Tomorrow) - $30/$30/$30/$20
.
not familiar with them, but those are good prices. have you ordered from them before whatsinaname?
Am I allowed to link you when I do the Black Panther Movie Production Thread?

I'm saying that knowing nothing about the guy himself. The only time I ever saw him or anythign was the Rebirth stream. I just think it's how I have taken his writing somehow. Maybe it is the overwhelming love for Batman that I'm reading from it and it's just hitting me in a different vibe? I could see that happening. It's not like I hate his writing or anything at all, just sometimes reading him I'm just thinking "Ok, come onnnnnnn. We get it, you vape." in a way.

Yes, I got my One Million omnibus and a couple of other Kirby omnibuses from there. They take a little bit of time to ship out and use the slowest USPS shipping option but the books got to me with no damages.
(They say some of their books might have the remainder mark, if you care about that. Mine didn't.).

Newsarama has the same preview pages for Cap and the colors look normal, so no one has anything to worry about.

OK, would have been like "here has Zombine made a list of good book *link*", but then I will make one by myself or ask someone else

Sadly the Surface is kinda ruined for comics by not having a Comixology app, so you can't do offline downloads. Combined with no MU app and its a shitty situation.

Stranded in Dimension X.
Remender introduced a Dimension created by Zola where time passes differently and she was held captive there.
Fuuuck, that's right. That was from the Dimension Z arc. I'm such a shit comic book fan, I forgot all about that.

First and second arcs are good. Third arc is fan-fucking-tastic. Definitely worth reading. People have mixed opinions about Crain's art, though.

I remember that guy from X-Force his art is pretty cool. Thanks I think I'll grab volume 1 to read on the bus tomorrow.

Zemo was just okay, he made sense for the MCu but not what I was expecting. It's almost a Mandarin esque swerve.
I liked that his motivations were a bit more layered than most of the other MCU villains. Bruhl was quite charming but a bit scary at the same time.

I'm always tempted to get their NuGen trades on sale just because their variants are the best in the game.

Doom Patrol is the only correct answer.

Right now I reeeally want to read comics but I have to go to work and I also can't decide what to read. I need to place an IST order soon.

For me it's just because I have a pretty slow job and a lot of times I wish I could just waste the last two hours of the day just reading.

Okay is a bit much, he's pivotal to the events of the movie yet in the end he means so little, which may be the point.
