What's this?
It's embarrassing but I own zero books from boom at all. Going to have to change that. I have a few down that I want to check out like The Spire or The Woods but I do basically just overlook them as a publisher for no real reason than I've never been in the habit of buying their stuff.
Giant Days is booms best book by a margin. Get that first.
Everything after BKV is not favourable sadly.

Kind of stunning how much top talent has crashed against the rocks of Runaways

You guys really like those Southern-themed books. I saw the Redneck preview in the new issue of Extremity, but much like Southern Bastards, it didn't do too much for me.
As I've said, Giant Days is probably my favorite book being published right now. Slam! is a great book too, despite the fact a comic about roller derby never seemed very appealing to me before. Buy them all.
I did like Kathryn Immonen's run. But that fucking sequel hook...that lead to nowhere.
And don't some see Whedon's arc kinda decent?
Huh?
I didn't like anything post bkv. I especially didn't like the Secret Wars book.
Because it's hard to recapture the glory days from the man who gave them the voice.
Thing is, you know they are gonna relaunch it for MMM but who would fit in that book?

*Keeps adding books to the list* Thanks guys. MORE BOOKS.
Also, slight tangent, but I picked up Moana for my partner, as an easter holidays type gift, and watched it last night. What an awesome movie. Today, she told me she was going to order me Deadly Class volume 5 (!) as a thank you. So there you go. Sometimes a little good will returns to you in the form of high school assassination pain & misery. Karma!

The Nameless City was pretty good fun! I love the setting - A strategically located city with so many names that the residents take to calling themselves the Named of the Nameless City. Hicks was able to give the city a certain character though the plot line of the book if fairly basic and mainly feels like a prologue to a larger story. I am definitely in for v2 though.
The one odd quirk she seems to have is to use lines under the characters eyes to give definition to the face but it just makes it feel like the everyone is blushing all the time... (maybe that's just because I've read too much Manga).

Valid point.
But some people remember U7 prior to Secret Wars, right? Couldn't Kang be one of them, assuming he is related to Doom?
But if he found a way to do it with out affecting himself, since timelines can branch? I mean, he didn't erase Vision's memories, and he didn't erase Kang. Just sealed him in a bottle. So he still exists, just no in a conventional way.
I know the epitaph is the same, but how did it get there? And I recall one of Kang's future selves looking into the timestream and seeing the epitaph and looking shocked. So there has to be more to it, like it existed and got erased, and now it's back?
And I'm pretty sure that was Parker Industries. It was shown AFTER the Avengers got back into the PI building.
I just want them to tackle it at some point.
I agree with you. I do. I just don't think she's as bad as you do.

Green Arrow #20
Good issue. Good conclusion. Nice inclusion to Roy's backstory. I also really liked Ollie and Roy's chemistry, and with that said I'm very much looking forward to his continued presence in this book.
Nightwing #18
So I'm assuming that Seeley is basically going through the villains Dick and Damien dealt with when they were the Batman and Robin at the time? Pretty dope arc so far. This book stays winning.
Superman #20
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. SHIT IS WACK.
Seriously.
Best book.
Shade the Changing Girl #7
Holy shit. Not only does this story make Shade more "human" than ever, but it hurts. It hurts bad. So much hatred that you can feel it flowing off of the page. A great issue that manages to be totally and utterly painful.

Lol, yeah not sure if I was as much of a fan of her compare to season 1.

I wouldn't describe
her as "emo" though. She's not angsty. She's just looser with her powers. Also, I think a lot of issues could have been avoided had Dick shared the plan with her and Connor. They're the only two from the original team to not know, aside from Roy who's busy living that dad life.
I like how Duggan is wrapping up the plotlines Remender never got to finish in Uncanny Avengers as his own run ends. I'm interested in seeing how Zub approaches the book, including roster. He's been coy about what will be happening in the book so who knows what's happening with it after SE.

Duggan is doing the Lord's work on that book
Every issue post-Standoff has been incredible
I agree and hopefully he can bring that to Guardians. So far his ideas sound good, though some people won't be pleased unless it's written in the style of Abnett and Lanning.
Uncanny Avengers is both the best Avengers book and best X-Men book, because Duggan finding a way to blend that concept much better than Remender did during his time on the book. What makes this book special is that it's a group of individuals from completely different parts of the Marvel Universe coming and staying together even when the world is against them due to their relationships and a sense of camaraderie. Zub seems to get this, but Duggan set the bar high and it will be tough for him to live up to that..
relationships and camaraderie that keeps the group together even when the world is against them. group not normal team and plans to keep up the camaraderie and relation aspect that Duggan used to make the book standout so hopefully he can deliver because the bar is set pretty high.

The fact we're getting a road trip arc after this next arc is amazing. I'm guessing they'll re-canonize some of the old stories along the way.
BKatastrophe

They're straight up referring to them as the Kents and nobody's batted an eye, save for Lois when she was looking at her mail. Superman Reborn was literally a universal retcon, and probably the single biggest one since Rebirth itself. Everything ever is canon at this point.

I mean more like showing the result of some old stories that happened. Like, they stop by a town where Clark decides to check up on a kid he saved from his abusive father before Flashpoint and the kid is grown up and in high school with his mother offering Clark cookies.

This looks great. Been keeping my eye on it for awhile but I think she said she wanted to wrap up the series at 3 books so I've just been waiting patiently so I can binge through them, from beginning to end.

Too engrossed in Persona to read comics, only read Shade this weekend.
Shade
I really liked this issue a lot but the end with Teacup seemed strange and was infuriating.

Marvel makes me laugh sometimes, they did whole interviews trying to say that secret empires not going to be political when it really should be lets be honest (is there a better time than now to do that kind of story) and now theyve ended up in a shit ton of political trouble with another book without even knowing it.
I was going to come on and say that I didn't mind x-men gold 1, terrax seemed weirdly out of place in it but on the whole it was breezy, some fun dialogue and fun ideas they could work with, also I didn't seem to mind the art as much as some did. I presume there going to release the issues the artist has done and then thats him done with Marvel. I really don't get what the guy was thinking, he must of known it would get noticed and he'd be in trouble. I can only think he doesn't really care and if he gets fired it will just give him more of the spotlight for indie work he does. Still though your on the flagship xmen relaunch series and you pull this.
I know it was a few pages back now, but I'd definitely recommend Shutter to you Donnie, the arts the main draw, amazing all the way through. The story is up and down, great world building and imagination but it has a kind of wild frantic pace to it that means theres sometimes not much pay off after story build up, but then your onto a new crazy story so soon after you can forgive it.
Also from my username you may have guessed but I'd recommend Giant Days to everyone. Probably the comic that puts the biggest smile on my face when reading it.

Yup, looks very good. It looks like such a departure from the earlier Thor trailers/movies.
Also, my God, Cate Blanchett.

I am wondering if the first few seconds means we'll see Surtur on screen.

Thor really looks great.
Minor gripe: I hate using the term Teaser's when they end up almost full trailer length.

Yeah this will be a straight up trailer like a year ago. The hell happened

If I would have just seen a 30sec clip of cuts like the Hammer being caught and Thor coming out into the coliseum I would have still been hyped as hell and looking forward to the next trailer. Seeing this, I think I want to skip any further trailers that come out.

Looks like it could be fun, just hope they don't go too comedy/wacky with this though, ragnarok is meant to be the great battle that pretty much causes the end of the world, whereas the graphics are more boogie nights ha

Hela does look hella cool though 
Note to self, never use hella again ever in my life
