Might be my favorite Spider-Man book at the moment. I dunno, it's that or Amazing....Amazing tends to be more exciting and has Peter but Spider-Man is better written and has Miles so it's a tough call.

Yeah it's top three Spidey for me. Which surprises me, I didn't like the pre-SW run all that much and completely dropped SW 2099 after two issues. But the new run has moved at a solid clip with a great plot, cool villains and a respectable supporting cast.
(The new suit is cool too eff ewe haters)
someone alert jc and tell him to defend john bolton's honour
I like the new inhuman girl. I didn't expect that angle

Yeah she is fierce and legit frightening.
I had a really odd feeling that made me think you didn't like it.

Favorite WW book I've read, one of my favorite stories I've read in awhile. The art is amazing. It's the shit.
Told my wife she should read it and she did it in one sitting and gave it back to me and said she wanted more like it. I said wait for Rucka to save us.

That was a nice little twist at the beginning of The Fix. I'm only half way through it but I like what I've read so far.

Fix is great, you should check it out Freeza. Also friendly reminder that anyone enjoying it should try out Superior Foes if they didn't already. I've pimped it a lot for a reason!
Just read Vision #5 and #6. This book is so damn good. It's continued this weird, unsettling feeling since the beginning and the plot has really gone in directions I wasn't predicting. The cliffhanger on 6 was great stuff. One of the most unique titles I've read from Marvel and without a doubt one of their best ongoings. King's gonna kill it on Batman.
Starfire #11 was good as well. Sad it's ending next issue but this was such a nice little series just like Power Girl was.

Watched Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for the first time. Enjoyed it a fuck ton. Now I understand why people were so upset about Edgar Wright not directing Ant-Man.
How are the comics? They get a lot of praise, and I'm definitely going to check them out, but I'm just curious to see what Comic-GAF thinks.
It was no Mummies Alive!

So he's basically running Oni?
Statement for the ages. Reminds me: Everyone read Rucka's Cyclops, right?
RIGHT?!
I will shill that book until the end of days.

They're good enough that your opinion of the movie will probably drop by the time you finish reading them. It's a fun flick but it doesn't do the GNs justice.
They recently finished reprinting them in full color...get those, it adds a lot in this case.

Huh... So I just had Dark Sould 3 randomly download to my Xbox. I already bought it on PS4. No purchase is showing up on any of my bank accounts or on my Microsoft account. Not entirely sure how that happened. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I'm very confused.

Haha man I said "Ok, I'm just going to read until the first natural break." Which was the
3000 years later
Picked up Transmetropolitan vol 2 as well, 3-ish more to go.

Damn, New Gods #7 was brilliant. We get the history of the whole conflict, Darkseid's machinations to get to the throne, Izaya's path to becoming the Highfather and that revelation of the exchange at the end!
All this in 24 pages.
Is there a new printing of tpbs? I thought there were 10 volumes?

How's the quality of those Absolute editions? Worth the money?
Oh god yes they are stunning.

What Zombine said. Great build quality and they used thick matte paper which is just perfect for this run.
Only one minor nitpick.
No dust jacket.

To rationalize it for you, on IST they're the price of a $60 video game, and there's no in app purchases or season passes. You can buy one at a time, and they seem to release quarterly.

When you say it like that it doesn't sound bad at all.

So with this all new all different marvel can I pick up the #1 issues from last August to the present for Thor iron man captain America and Doctor strange and be able to follow along?
Same for the all new xmen (2015), I'm planning to catch up on the 2012 run but not right now.
These will be the first marvel comics I've read.

I would think so. With comics there is always some sort of backstory that you may be missing when you jump in, but like Wrestling or TV Soap Opera's it won't take you long to catch up on what's happening. Comics have a very long winded way of telling a simple story, and if you are confused about anything at all a simple google search will fill you in.

Short answer is yes. Ling answer is that some carry over stories from the previous series, notably Thor. However, they are great places to jump on. You won't lose much by doing so.
