Anyone read The Last Days Of American Crime/is it good? Image's reprint carries a kind of hefty price tag.

Fantastic

X-Men Gold #1 was one of the worst comics I've ever read in my life.

The art, already bad, somehow collapses halfway through.

Spoiler

Old Man Logan actually refers to something as "GOLD". THAT FUCKING HAPPENED.

Kitty spits out, pointlessly, two X-Men catchphrases on two separate occasions.

Kitty PUBLICALLY APOLOGIZES FOR MUTANTS BEING BAD AND PLEDGES TO DO BETTER.

They fight Terrax, barely.

A new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants populated mostly by nobodies appears.

Prestige is a horrifically pointless and tasteless erasure of the past of what is basically a mutant holocaust survivor and it is perpetrated and engineered by Kitty WHO IS JEWISH.

NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS.
EVERYBODY GOT IT ANYWAY.

I really liked the issue personally. We tend to have the opposite view on books lol.

 

[Messi]

Yes. Ewing has got his mojo back.

Oooh, maybe Mojo will be in this.

He never lost it. His books are constantly dope.

I'd love to see your corresponding list lol

BEAUTIFUL cover.

I'd love to see your corresponding list lol

I posted my thoughts earlier, but tried to avoid anything in-depth with the content of the book . Basically with everything you dislike I either liked or interpreted differently. Also, I think saying "nobody wanted this" is pretty untrue lol.

 

[BrightLightLava]

My Hero Academia is one of the best superhero series of the last 4 years and it's a shame it hasn't gotten much traction by the comic community.

I've really liked the three and a half volumes that I've read, outside of the parts about manga that I never really enjoy.

There's a character in America #2 called "Becky Goodhair" and you know what? Actually, fuck this.

Yeah, I was one of the three or four people that actually sort of liked the first one but this one had so many problems. Awkward dialogue, things not really flowing together. And the art is the worst that I've seen from Joe Quinones.

I really liked the first Issue of the Marvel Now Elektra Ongoing.

Do you read any DC comics, gameproff?

Yeah, Batman and Stuff that comes in Deluxes. Sometimes other things that sound interesting.

 

[VanWinkle]

Nice. I pretty much just read Marvel in OHC/Omnibus format, so I guess we're probably pretty similar in that regard.

Non-lenticular cover to The Flash #22 by Fabok:

And the Howard Porter variant for good measure

 

[Sandfox]

I mean sure cada uno a su gusto

But yeah

I'm not saying the book is perfect or anything, because there are some moments where it gets obvious with them trying to explain the new direction of the line(though I'm forgiving because it's the first issue of an arc named "back to the basics"), and the art is spotty at times, but I feel it's a step above what we've been getting for a while and closer in line to how people traditionally see the X-Men.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Nice. I pretty much just read Marvel in OHC/Omnibus format, so I guess we're probably pretty similar in that regard.

There are a few books I am interested in since Rebirth, but I bought a new car and have to pay for it and so I have to stick for more stuff that I already know that I like to some degree... And also I am currently a bit more interested in movies then comics and dip around 100€ alone for these every month.

You guys need to look into the newly released Batman: Ego and Other Tails Deluxe Edition by Darwyn Cooke. It's gorgeous, with a matte dust jacket, a new 2-page introduction by Amanda Conner and about 70 pages of material not in the original Ego and Other Tails paperback.

Also seemingly uses a new paper stock from DC that I REALLY hope will become the new standard for their deluxe editions. It looks and feels just like their amazing omnibus paper but is just a bit thinner (still easily thicker than their previous glossy or Marvel's OHC/omni paper).

Highly recommended.

That looks great!

On a side note, I think it is now easier to keep track of Batman issues that don't have his parents or the pearls in them than the other way around.

Would love to read some manga, but I'm always unsure about where to start, I just never do. I know there some stuff by Urasawa that I want to read. Classic runs are easy to peg out as worth reading though. In terms of modern series though, I see stuff like Tokyo Ghoul or My Hero Academia that is popular and comes up when I search manga worth checking out, but I have no idea if that means it's good or suited to my tastes. I mean if you Google top selling comics, you'll get the current JL book for example.

Check your local library for them or ask for opinions in here/elsewhere on GAF?

 

[Freezasaurus]

God damn, have I been here that long?

Looks awesome man, Cooke's work deserves to shine like that. I'm not sure pulpy crime thriller in your forte but if you're enthusiastic enough about Cooke's stuff, it's worth hunting down the hardcovers of his Parker adaptations he worked on at IDW. There's not that many but they are really nice collections.

Check your local library for them or ask for opinions in here/elsewhere on GAF?

Ah I know man, but you know, laze haha. Plus like I mentioned there's a few I do know that I want to check, probably worth making the effort there first. 20th Century Boys, Monster, Vinland Saga, Vagabond.

Somehow after the CWII comments about how everyone higher-up chose to not listen to him about Rhodey at all the summits I don't believe you.

She also said everyone stops and listens whenever Ta-Nehisi Coates says anything.

 

[Messi]

lol who's Bii?

Smh. Respect your reviewing elders.

"Whenever he's not in the room, all the other writers ask "Where's Ta-Nehisi?"

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Yeah. That's a pretty good list.

Oh yea and Berserk, I heard that one had a couple of decent-ish volumes haha I'll get there eventually dude then I can turn an eye to more modern ongoing stuffs. I appreciate the ideas though library is a good shout, although the library in my town :|

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Do I sound stupid when I do my "Does one...." thing for formulate things?
Please be honest.

You should check out Solanin. Only a single book and one of my favorite manga.

lol. I just looked him up. I do recognize his avatar, but the dude hasn't reviewed/posted pictures of anything in how long? Probably since before I even joined ComicGAF in 2015.

I'm sure they still stopped talking when he spoke.

It's bat season.

[dan2026]

The Dini backup story in Harley Quin is that best thing Harley has been in for years.

I'm beginning to think Harley just doesn't work without the Joker (or maybe Ivy) to play off.
Or perhaps its just that Dini's writing of the character is so much better than the other people who have been writing her.

I suppose he did create her after all!

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Oh, I think I saw this one earlier, I was trying to better myself and actually understand the various genre/demographic things. I think what one came up when I was checking Seinen? I think so anyway. The cover was striking enough it stuck with me anyway, I'll take a note of that one too.

Haha, true. I don't even notice it anymore. Such a mainstay in his stories.

Parker looks really cool. I will eventually get those. I'm mad at myself for not buying the Parker Martini Edition when it was going for like $30.

Prepare to see it again soon:

Oh we have a Hanzo... Someone pick a Widowmaker wouldn't want to miss out on both shit characters. Fuck this game.

Hanzo's not that bad, I mean he could be Winston.

Spoiler

Kidding. They are both pretty awful

HOLY SHIT

IS THAT A VARIANT OR IS IT ACTUALLY HAPPENING

Winston is incredible now

The non-lenticular cover to that issue. Of the 4 issues in the crossover the non-lenticular ones are Batman and Flash holding the Button, our villain reaching out to it, this one and the returning character one.

The lenticular one for this one is great:

So with the sweat on the face and weakness, it looks like Andrea is dunzo. Would be heartbreaking. Our sharpshooting, voice of reason. I remember when she got with Dale and I was shocked and like, well, kinda ew. But I loved them together. Didn't like her with Rick so much but was happy just to see a lot of her. Remember when she fought off those dudes in the watch tower? So badass.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Black Widow #12 was a solid final issue. Really enjoyed this run. Was a hardcover confirmed or am I imagining things? I'll definitely pick it up if so.
