I've really been enjoying a lot of DC's output lately. And I was never big into DC when I was a kid because of how convoluted things seemed in the DCU.
Yeah but then trash like Valiant exists...
Shade is the best, it's my favorite of all the YA books, and in my top 3 favorites period. Marley's line work is so clean and suitably trippy and Cecil Castellucci does an amazing job of capturing the essence of teenage alienation and peer pressure.
That Bonvillain piece was a poster given away with a 12" single by Gerard Way for Record Store Day. Sadly my shop was out by the time I could get there.
I spent my earliest years with DC; I inherited a ton of old Neil Adams Batman comics, Perez stuff (Wonder Woman, Teen Titans), and other things. I also have some fond memories of Marvel books, but my earliest love was all of the Justice League characters.
Shade and Doom Patrol are right at the very top. I have a hard time picking between both but I loooooove them. I also love Marley's manga influences, and how she's very clearly inspired by Junji Ito.
It's not that different from monthly buying, either way we know the books are going to be bad before we read them!

That sucks. That would be a gorgeous piece to get framed.

No word of a lie, I don't think I ever read a dc comic properly until Batman and son. I had a random issue of superman red and blue as a kid and that was it. No familiarity or anything, 100% marvel. I do agree DC have a ton of great output right now though, and I've been getting deeper ever since the new 52. Now just that sandman/Gaiman imprint...
(I read Vertigo earlier though and some Wildstorm)
You can't say this and not tell us what your actual top three favourite books are dude. Shade sounds great though, sounds like a pitch perfect concept

the director of the intouchables remake?
Just did the same thing. What an awesome deal I think.
April is my existential crisis month, I was asking myself 🤔
I still don't know 🤔

I notice the Champions are on the Legacy list. They going to reboot that with a different creative team? I love Mark Waid, but he's not the right fit.
It's sad, because this is the same thing that happened with another young, super-awesome team I had high hopes for.
Such a goddamn waste.

I can hardly remember anything about the first All-Star Batman arc after reading it in singles. Could never really get on board with the road trip idea and the ending left no impression on me. I've been enjoying Ends of the Earth a lot more though. I wasn't familiar with the artist but I loved the art in the Ivy issue. Just got #9 to go.

I read Shutter. It was great.
Something Two face blackmailing everybody, something something Duke's training arc i think is either this book or the main bat book and something something KDBeast
Tula Lotay is her name. She is wonderful.

give it baaaaack ;_;
For the last couple of years Mondo has been putting on a 200 dollar house party for SxSW. Basically you can get original art for 200 dollars from some of their artists. Got in line an hour before it started and all 6 Lotay pieces had already sold out

S E X.
Champions is basically Marvel's Teen Titans book. They need to make changes to it though.

In my opinion, only three people actually made the Avengers interesting.

Tula's art isn't very expensive on Cadence. You can get some originals there for the price of a video game.
Probably get rid of waid, he writes good teenagers that is free in marvel, apparently Hopeless was good
Wonder what Peter David is doing

Finished the second half of Sheriff of Babylon (#7-#12). Felt that issues 7, 8 and 9 were reasonably strong and were building some tension but it kind of fizzled out towards the end. Some of the "antagonists" felt like too much of a caricature. Still, better than v1 for me. Some great scenes in there.
Also read BKV's Batman collection. Like he mentioned in the foreword, it is a little rough and heavy handed at times but Matches Malone's story was fun and I really enjoyed the Mad Hatter issue's ending. The two WW issues were a bit weak though. There was one weird story at the end with some super-villain called Skeleton. Did that go anywhere?
Here's a close approximation of Batman with Ray Bans.

David is writing Scarlet Spider, but they could have other plans for him.

Yea, I thought it was a stronger volume than the first which is what you want I guess. It's a cool book, interested to see where it goes next. I'd place it firmly behind The Vision and Omega Men, but as you say,some great scenes. I really liked Nassir throughout.

Finally got a physical copy of JSA Liberty Files: The Whistling Skull.
I read it on MU, it was boring as fuck. HOW DO YOU MAKE THE BEACH EPISODE BORING?

To be fair, DC has rebooted Teen Titans three times since Flashpoint Paradox before finding a take that sort of worked.
Those headshots are probably for the corner boxes but Thing doesn't have a book...
Don't remind me lol.

If the team that did that one Monsters Unleashed issue take over full time, I'd be happy.
So far there was always a backup, so vol. 2 should have them too.
Who's on backups. It's not Shalvey right?
Shalvey did them from #1 to #4
#5 didn't had a backup, my mistake
Francavilla did #6 to #9
Wasp is in the banner.
