Black Adam: The Dark Age. Or 52. The latter doesn't focus just on Black Adam, but it's a good story and you should read it anyway.
I doubt you'll be able to find a cheap physical copy of The Dark Age, but CMX has it.
Is this deal always running or is just today? I really want to pick this up but don't get paid till tomorrow
Any chance they will sell out too?
Those sales typically run for 1 week. After that, books only get about a 42% discount on IST.
I'm not planning on buying my copy until Friday (payday). As for AoA selling out....probably not anytime soon. I imagine Marvel ordered a large print run for the movie coming out.
52 is going to be reprinted over the next half year, already preordered, since its from Gran. I read once the first couple of weeks and had no idea what was going, but I will try again.
The Dark Age is 60

What version of 52 is getting reprinted? The Omnibus?
Looking pretty sharp, there.

Well, obviously not comics.
In three big Trades

Bah. I would just..... I was gonna say buy the omnibus, but that thing is fucking huge. It's like 1200 pages. Not even Kipp's omnibus reading position can help with that one. Your legs would be crushed.

oh man. Dark Souls III next week. Freeza going all-in, baby. Dark Souls III CE, and CE Strat. guide.

I can't wait til next week. Uni presentation will be done and Dark Souls 3 is the light at the end of the tunnel.
Witcher 2 xbox 360 will be the last collector's edition i buy, it just sits there in a giant old game casket mocking me.

Hmm. I wonder if it's because I merged my account with my amazon one. I did get a response from their support Twitter about them checking to see what's going on. A lot of other people have tweeted them about it too. Lucky.

And don't forget the Ni-oh alpha coming out from April 26th to May 5th. If you haven't heard of it, it's from Team Ninja, and it's basically Dark Souls with a samurai theme. Gameplay looks way better, though.

I see you, but...
...maybe not the right...
...there we go!
How good/not good is Wicked & Divine? The HC worth considering or no? And is that Superman: Emperor Joker trade the thing that people always mention with that title? Also, any opinions on 5000 KM Per Second?
Considering an IST order despite wanting to hold off for the third Johns GL omni, which should be next week, I think?

That's gonna be written by Matthew Rosenberg, so it's bound to be good

Good comic, but the binding on that HC is dog shit.
The omnibus is a reprint. But yeah, those sales are typical for IST and CGN until they run out of stock.

You must not buy any Marvel books then. Aren't they all $5-6 at this point?

He lives!
Nah, they're still sticking to that $3.99 price-point. Sometimes $4.99 if they feel like it. I think there was a recent issue of Doctor Strange that was $5 and I have no idea why.
Is that one of those shitty rogue-likes?

I added Wonder Woman to my wishlist. Definitely adding Ms. Marvel to it as well.
Can't wait! Won't get mine until 4:50PM or so tomorrow.
Nobody reads comics.
I'm probably going to do nothing comics related tonight. Just want to eat.

I was gonna wait for the Ms. Marvel omnibus (since Amazon has a listing for it), but those things are kind of annoying to read.

There are something like 4-5 books every week now at the $5 point, it's ridiculous
Yet I keep buying them
(to those who don't know what it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Official_Marvel_Graphic_Novel_Collection)
I stopped reading comics 17 or so years, and I was shocked to see the level of quality of some publications nowadays, like Guardians of the Galaxy and Thanos Imperative.
So, from that big collection of Marvel graphic novels, what this colletcion is lacking?
I really want to star reading comics again, but it's just that... I apparently lost all the great Marvel stories. Or DC Comics... or image...
My background: I think I read comics through the worst part of the history of comics, which is some time before the Age os Apocalypse, and then stopped with Onslaught. To me, Avengers, all of them, were horrible and the only really good thing that I read from Marvel was Kevin Smith's Daredevil (which was awesome... for me).
From DC comics... I read the Death of Superman and some of the titles like Superboy and Cyborg. Batman, I read his fight with Bane and all of the Batmans, too. Captain Marvel I really loved the Jerry Ordway origin story, but the monthly comic was really weak. That's it I guess.
The Vertigo line I read Garth Ennis's Constantine and Preacher.
From Image, I read the first 13 or so issues of: Witchblade, Spawn, Gen 13, Wild Cats, Cyber Force and Darkness. Are they any good nowadays?
Actually, I was not totally away from comics, as I read: Rising Stars, Ex Machina, Irredeemable, and a few issues of Sin City.
Things that are in my checklist (aside that entire collection): Animal-man, Sandman (when it's reprinted in my country...), Saga, Ms Marvel (the new one and the old one, which I don't know where to start), Moon Knight, Miracleman, Sex Criminals, Infinity, Dark Avengers, Superior Spiderman and Hawkeye.
Also in my list: Transmetropolitan, Astro City, Green Lantern Rebirth, Green Lantern the Sinestro Corps, probably the entire Hellboy universe and The Invisibles.
Any thoughts? Opinions? Nice starting pointing (that collection)? No?
About DC Comics in general: I remember being a fan of Hitman and Starman (It had the same pencils as the Ex machina). Both titles died, right? I also really liked Green Lanterns and Shazam, but nobody said those two had good monthly issues...so... if there's anything worth reading, can you please give me any indications?
Thanks!

Real talk tho: I've mentioned before that my LCS gives me a 25% discount on my pulls so $2.99 books will be $2.25 which will be $4.50 for the month. For twice the content that's going to be a great deal*.
(*In the modern era of expensive comics.)

I bought the first 60 books (which were all that was planned, when they doubled it I said thanks but no thanks). They are good quality books, the ordering is all over the place. They're boxed up at the moment because I have no shelf that will fit them all so the collage spines would look odd across two shelves.
I'm currently getting the Judge Dredd Mega Collection, similar thing but 80 issues and more of a grabbag of material.
lol your hopes and dreams probably got rekted watching that movie.

It's definitely better than that Dark Souls statue you're going to buy anyway.

I'm actually getting it for the art book, I know the statue is going to be hot garbage.

That's a pretty good way to summarize it. It makes you want to read good comics just to realize that Superman is a good character.
