Wow, I love that art. The setting is just what I like in a sci-fi.
Took a peek on Image's site. If I can find this at my LCS next Wednesday I'll skim through it for a few to get a feel for it.
Here's a very generous preview on CBR. It's the opening of the book and it should give you a nice idea of the tone of the two main characters. They feel very real to me and that is what appeals.

Sejic should be paying his #1 promoter.
I will forever vouch for quality books that I am a fan of.

I once got a free t-shirt for promoting an indie book on various comic book forums. I'm not sure if the book ever actually came tho.
You tryna sink the ship for the rest of us m8. They aren't supposed to know about the shirts.
Holy smokes, Comics-GAF, I'm so excited. I just bought a lot of Annihilation Conquest comics that includes the full series, plus the Wraith, Starlord, and Quasar tie-ins, Nova 4-7, and DnA Guardians of the Galaxy 1-3. I've been trying to get my hands on these for a while, and I've had the worst time finding them at a reasonable price. Ahhhhhh!! Cannot wait to read through them!!

Holy shit that ended at the worst possible moment.
Both of them freaking out was hilarious. Need more of this. Gotta fit it in my already huge backlog. Thanks for the suggestion!
That's how a good preview works
. There are 4 volumes out now with the 5th being worked on via his deviantArt page. The books are the best experience. Btw each trade gets bigger in size and stays at $15. First book is 128 pages (story plus bonus content jokes and such) fourth is 160 pages that are all story lol.

I'm assuming the current strips are just going to be reprinted in the trade, as they don't require the re-drawing that the older strips did, yeah?

Found the book! Looks like it finally came out a year or two after I stopped reading comics.

He is still redoing the art as it goes to trade even for Vol 5. He seems to do quick art for the Web version and puts more time into the art when changing over to trade. Let's him get strips out on deviantArt quicker.
Also the story format changes in trade. The layouts and such.
He posted 3 strips yesterday.

Really? Because the art in the recent strips is waaaay better than the early stuff. He could release it as is and people wouldn't complain.
Guys, if we're giving book recommendations, I consider Transformers: More than Meets the Eye a super important one to throw out there, as that book is super crazy awesome and there is no way people will stumble upon it without an explicit recommendation. Like, even if you don't like Transformers. Hell, even if you explicitly dislike Transformers, give it a try, as it's really, really good.
IDW's TMNT also deserves a mention as well, as that's also quite great.
(Just wanted to throw that out there amongst all the awesome Image stuff already mentioned).

Seems to be a bit if a perfectionist at times. He is taking a break to build up strips after Vol 5. So mercy Vol 1 won't ship until summer next year at the earliest but it will be going up on deviantArt well before that as he works in it. This way he can release the mercy trades quick fire like he did with Sunstone.
By that method I'm sure in a years time his art will be even better and he will have tried new things then going back and fixing it pre trade.
Oh wait, their Samurai Jack is good? Haven't really heard it come up in here, but I could totally be down for that...
Jem and the holograms is amazing too.

It is very good. I just wish they offered back ups on CMX.
Sometimes I think you and KSzam from the Comixologist podcast might be twins separated at birth.

How do I get to this level? I can't even get Bleeding Cool to acknowledge me
Don't know. It's probably a lot harder to achieve these days as there are fewer message boards and the ones that are still around (like CBR) are far less busy than they used to be.
Now they can just ask you for money instead of hype thanks to sites like Kickstarter.
You should just for Sophie Campbell's art.
I didn't know cmx had a podcast and I have no idea if that statement is a positive or a negative lol.
Dial H...man what a crazy comic. I think I have two more issues left. If somebody told me this was a Grant Morrison comic I would 100% believe them. I would believe that China Mieville is a pseudonym.
It's very, very good. I am glad to experience it.
I will say, though, that the first half or so has art by Mateus Santolouco, whereas the later issues were Albert Pontecilli, and I VASTLY preferred Santolouco's art. I also disliked pretty much every cover, which was all done by Brian Bolland.

They have two actually. One where they talk about each weeks new realeases and another one where they interview creators about their upcoming projects.
And it's definitely not a negative. She was the one that got me to give Hex11 a try.

Extraordinary X-Men #8
So this is how it begins... Wait, why Colossus? Weird ass decisions
New 52 Nightwing is okay. Barrows makes that book while he was on it. It's a lot of missed potential, where the first chunk is Batman-lite, and the rest is a shittier rehash of him going to Bludhaven. Mostly because it feela cut short, because then Forever Evil happens and then Grayson. It's up to you if you want to read it, but I doubt it's necessary.

Anyone here using Marvel Unlimited and unable to change their password? I've tried like five times and now it won't even send me an email with a link to change it. I emailed their support crew a week ago and have heard nothing back at all. I hadn't logged in for a while and they said there were new password requirements and I needed to change my password before I could log in.
This sucks I was looking forward to using my new iPad Pro 12.9" to read some beautiful comics but now I'm locked outta my account, it seems.
EDIT: When I clicked the link on the couple emails I got to change my password it either said the link was no longer valid (I clicked it as soon as I got it in my email) or once I chose a password it kept saying it was invalid even though it met all of their password requirements.

For some reason this has made me want to buy this.
Despite the fact that Capullo drew Spawn for a million years I've honestly never made any connection between him and MacFarlane. His early work to me was always closer to Liefeld, although even then he was more talented than Rob ever will be. Obviously there was a bit of a visual difference when Capullo tooknow over on X-Force after Liefeld left to cofound Image, but I always felt that (back then at least) the layouts and page structure stayed fairly similar. Now it's been a few years since I've read any of those old X-Force comics, so my memory might be a little hazy.
All that said, I think Capullo is a fantastic penciler and whoever colored him during Zero Year and Endgame should be his permanent colorist.

That FF XV demo did nothing for me, I get why people say it feels like Kingdom Hearts though.

Black Panther (Priest) #1 - #8 : Holy shit.
"Did we all mishear you."
"No, you did not."
Loved Achebe's Keyser Soze type of introduction (with that brilliant two page spread of the chase across the sand).
Martin Freeman is going to be so perfect for Ross.

So far yeah.
Maybe Rebirth's second wave will give him a title, but I think that's been speculated since Trinity War. Otherwise he's just been in Justice League with a few cameos in Cyborg, Batman & Robin.

Thanks. Will wait for the series relaunch then.
I want to do this:
But are there any restrictions, do they have to be longer series? Because in the lists posted I didn't see anything like Watchmen. Can I just do a overall top 10?

No restrictions, just post whatever you really like. I posted a graphic novel for one of my choices (You Are Here).

Saga is too good. My plan was to wait until the next hardcover comes out to continue reading, but I don't know if I can wait that long.
Agreed. Easily the best part of Daredevil season 2 IMO.

Oh, I meant that Marvel put some more Punisher on sale.
I own every good Punisher comic now. Probably.
