Thanos is a weird book in terms of when it takes place.
Umm bro, Green Lanterns is the only Humphries book that is regularly praised.
Also Weird World and Jonesy
Actually yeah that is true.

You certainly do. Though, there's no Elongated Man with this one

Do you have a link? Or is that the extent of the theory? I highly doubt that will be the case but man what a huge bait and switch if true lol.

I remember someone pointed out that one of the characters Ozymandias was inspired by had a green cloak(think he went by The Hooded One or something back at Charlton).

Night Owl is inspired by Blue Beetle apparently too. Atleast according to CBR.
"Blue Beetle also has links to ”Watchmen," as the character of Nite Owl was based on the original Charlton Comics iteration of Blue Beetle."

Also problematic is Thanos in the last issue of GoTG, Thanos in his own series, and Thanos in Unworthy Thor.
I'm struggling to make sense of his timeline, it's impossible to reconcile the three.

Godzilla: The Half Century War - OMG, someone tell me IDW is releasing an Absolute sized edition of this. Also, after Shin Godzilla and this, I think I am starting to see the appeal of Kaiju movies...

I hoped the new reading order guide would help since it was character focused and not series specific but nope.

Look in the extended forecast section of Comic List.
There was a Oversized Edition, but its sold out
Thanks, but that doesn't cover Pantheon, Fantagraphics, Drawn & Quarterly, First Second, etc., though. I know I could go to their sites, but a one-stop shop would lessen the hassle.

Started reading Daredevil: Back in Black Vol. 2: Supersonic and this Elektra arc is hot fire.
One of the absolute best things about this book is showing Matt's visual perspective. It makes for very strong storytelling and characters moments, raising stakes in a very different way.

Sounds like it's worth catching up on. The lukewarm reception at the start put me off a bit after loving Waid and Samnee's run.
Its gotten really good

I've been feeling the same way lately. Everyone seems to take the same turn with the book, going to pick up a few trades soon.

Relevant here. Pick the next 3.75 vintage figure. If you don't have a horse in this race, please pick Dr. Aphra.

Superman Rebirth #1, #1 - #6: Not really feeling this at the moment. Competent, ended on a strong note and there was more character interaction than in Action Comics but still too many pages of Superman just punching people in the face. Looks like v2 might have more potential considering the "reveal" is now out of the way.
I'm now 8 series into Rebirth and honestly, other than WW, not one of them I would put up against my New 52 Top 5.

Sounds like he stole Mike Mignola's (old) 10 year plan haha. Sounds good, I need to get hold of Headlopper.
I picked Aphra for you even though she is a mary sue.

I know you were joking. He always stirs shit.
I finally got my physical rewards from the Groupees VIP Dynamite Bundle. It contained 5 random TPBs, and 2 limited edition floppies with certificates of authenticity:
I doubt the LE comics are really worth much but it wasn't expensive or anything. I got a lot of reading to do now.
Got my NYCC 4 day tickets !!!
We did it!
Hopefully this credit card will be paid off in time to murder it again.

I forgot I had saved this quote from way back, but I'm glad I did because it's amazing.
The dude doing Green Lanterns is the same guy who did Jonsey?! Might have to check out GL!
Did it for you, bro!

ok. Sticks Angelica, Folk Hero is delightfully batshit crazy. Loved it.
It looks like all the strips are available on the tumblr too but I do strongly recommend reading from first to last.

Oh god, I can't even imagine how behind I must be on a cartoonist as prolific as Deforge. I hope I'm able to catch up soon. He's like no one else out there.

This is actually the first I've read/heard if DeForge. Will definitely be tracking down more! Anything specific you would recommend?
La Maquinon

Very Casual is well regarded. I have it, but have yet to read it. I loved Ant Colony and his Lose series. His work is fascinating. If you Google "DeForge best of" you'll probably find stuff that was listed as best comics of the year.

this is going to sound really dumb but we can get the FCBD issues online right ?

They won't be up straight away unless they change policy. Last year it was around a month before some of them were up. The Captain America one from last year is listed on CMX as June 8th, FCBD was May 7th.

I really like The Wild Storm, but I have that problem with it that I'm lost each issue and need to go back and re-read the previous issue. The characters are really cool, though.
Trainspotting 2 is quite good, for anyone curious.

Really? I'm so nervous about eventually seeing it haha. As a Scottish guy, Trainspotting is so unbelievably on point. Lots of people here will honestly point to Braveheart when asked to point to a quintessential Scottish movie that really represents the Scots and our culture or character haha but we all know it's Trainspotting. So the prospect of a sequel that could lose that is a scary thought.
Not to say we're ALL junkies lol, but we can all look at it and say yea that's about right.
