There’s not much to this solicit, but this is a seriously weird set of characters - Salem, Deadmau5, Chris Hemsworth, and Princess Zelda. I mean, seriously, I think Faith might have gone and pissed off the wrong people here. She’s not very good at her job, I reckon…
Generation Zero #9 (April 19th) - Generation Zero’s untimely finale! I mean, seriously, I know I told you guys to read this. It’s amazing. Now it’s getting canned? I hope this was a planned ending… Anyway, Gen Zero is still fighting its way through the Heroscape, but it’s possible not all of them will make it out alive.

I really hope he doesn’t accidentally use it on Roku. Man, that would suck. As much of an asshat as Ninjak is 94% of the time, that’d be too cruel a turn even for him.

We've been having some talk of spoilers a lot lately, so I figured it's a good idea to have a section for it.
-If you must post a spoilery panel or a page from a comic (recent or otherwise), please link to them with a proper spoiler warning.
-Please at least allow one week before posting unmarked spoilers.
-Announcements/Solicitations are not spoiler worthy, no need to tag

If I don't give Freeza credit for the thread I'm not giving him the blame for the title/banner. Messi, why did you do this to us?
 
I like the look and premise of Godshaper.


Finished up Dept H vol 1. Only thing I would add as criticism on top of my general positive thoughts is that the ending is pretty abrupt. It's pretty obvious the book is not being written as 6 issue chunks and there's no real major plot developments or significant reveals to go out on, but #4-6 were exciting, and I really liked the book overall. Im interested in how long this book can actually exist within it's premise, the rate Kindt is wrecking the joint.

Oh yea, there's a really nice extensive sketch section with annotations at the back that's pretty awesome. The actual book itself really is good.

I love comcs. Happy April!
I'm reading the old Wolfman run of Teen Titans and I was wondering if there is a recommendation for which arcs to read and skip for essential information.

Speaking of DC, my friend that I buy and share comics with has roped us into DC. I haven't really read much outside of random arcs of several characters and lots of Batman, but I grew up reading Johns's Teen Titans (I was excited about new 52 TT, but I dropped it after one volume. Ugh.) Read DC rebirth and I am thinking of picking up the new Flash series, though I haven't read flash before. I'm already reading all these Batman rebirth series. I'm interested in reading the other essential DC stories of the past, but holy shit, it is intimidating.

Until DC actually whips up some kind of DC Unlimited service, your best bet is checking your local library. There's just too much.

It's image. You'll get your chance eventually. Although this is the first time I've seen them have 0.80 issue

Buying full price for image comics is a fools game.

Kinda getting this vibe recently when I look at my ipad full of series that I am 3-5 issues behind and I paid full price for them. I like supporting creators though. I need a company like image to continue to exist and deliver the kinds of content we have seen for the past few years.

There is nothing like reading a bunch of issues of an image comics series in a row. Its why I am so jealous of people who only recently discovered Deadly Class or Saga. What a ride.

It has probably already been discussed but Day 1 on that Joelle Jones Harley statue. Handstand selfie Batgirl should be cool too.
