His art style has a grittiness to it that's perfect for anything set in a city. He's also one of my favorite artists.

It falls into the tropes of what for me make a bad Superman story, which is most of the Silver Age stuff, and like was basically said early it's almost a love letter to silver age Superman. It's not for me, it's not my Superman, I don't find it interesting.

I tend to be most involved in conversations about TV and movies, however. Probably because I'm a dirty trade waiter.
Considering the hints to Bruce being 19 or so in the back up stories taking place just prior to Zero Year, current Bruce Wayne must be in his mid-20s (I would guess 25-27). In that time he fathered a 10 year old, trained 3 Robins, and became an expert at all fields of human endeavor. How do you compare GAF?

Saga, Thor and Infinity for me this week, I can't wait!
Apparently there's a Bleeding Cool rumour that Acuna might take over art on Captain America after Pacheco finishes the "Nuke" arc.

Yeah, same. In addition to that, I found Lex Luthor to be pathetically stupid and it's overall message, while true to superman, to be overly simplistic. I think it's a legitimately bad story altogether, but we're evidently in the minority in this.

Look for Daniel Acuna to follow up Carlos Pacheco on Captain America next year. Could the Infinity team of Weaver and Opena both have separate arcs on Uncanny Avengers next year too?

Soliciting good trades in print to read while I'm out of town for an extended labor day weekend. Most recently read: Hawkeye 1 & 2, Saga 1 & 2
On the shelf by the bathroom: Punisher (Ennis), Walking Dead, Fables, some indie stuff like Logicomix, Goon, Anya's Ghost, the 9/11 report comic, Strangers in Paradise...
I'm open to just about anything but I don't really want to bring more than three trades with me to make it through a five day weekend. Something released in the last five to six years would be preferable. Superhero comics are fine but I don't want to untangle a ton of continuity. I was looking at the Morrison run on Batman but it looks to be a bunch of New 52 stuff that I don't even come close to understanding so I'm nervous about picking any of that up (let alone knowing where to begin). I don't have a tablet so something I can pick up at a shop or get delivered cheaply (i.e. paperback > hardcover) is the only hard requirement. Stuff like Irredeemable is out for this reason, unless there's an SC omnibus I'm not seeing on amazon. I got the volume 1 trade and it lasted me half an hour so that's one series I'm not willing to pick up until well after the trip is over.
Any impressions on this biographical Feynman comic, for example?

Got around to trying out Superior Foes of Spider-Man and Avengers A.I., and both have been pretty solid, so far. I'd certainly love to pull A.I. (I'm a Runaways fan, it's pretty much my duty), but I'm still kinda iffy on the former, for some reason.
I'm down for Amazing X-Men, I've been really loving Aaron's work so far. Which reminds, I should probably check out his Hulk run, soon. X-Men Gold, I'll probably pick up on vague nostalgia, alone. God help me.

Anyone have thoughts on whether the Inhumans: By Right of Birth tp will be worth checking out? I enjoyed the Inhumans one-shot I recently read, but I've heard bad things about Ann Nocenti's writing overall.
So I am just about done Johns' run on Teen Titans, and I have to say it's my least favourite of the big DC runs of his that I have read so far. Maybe the last 6 issues will be awesome, but compared to Green Lantern, (Wally West) Flash, JSA, and even his work-in-progress Aquaman, it doesn't feel like all that much of consequence has happened. It's still not bad though.
*walks in; sees All-Star Superman slander up the page* Whew. Glad I missed that.
Late list from a guy who hasn't even read his shit from last week.
Justice League Of 'Murica #7
East Of West #5
Infinity #1
Uncanny X-Men #10
I got out of Batman when Zero Year started cause I wasn't really into the idea of another Batman origin, but it sounds like some good shit. Might have to catch up.
And my twitter is @Brah_of_Steel. So follow me or whatever.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
shutup, this will be amazing. based claremont is back.
I was fully prepared to come back to comics in 2000 because Claremont was back on both X-Men titles. Then I read them.

Followed everyone who posted. Happy comic book day everyone.
I agree, it's my least favorite Johns work but it's way better than any Titans that followed or preceded it. Terrible book right now, loLobdell
I wrote a review on Trillium
I have been away from comic books for a few years and I'm wondering if there is anything like it that I might have missed out on

Its a terrible and directionless book so far, which is a shame because I love teen heroes and the first arc was pretty good. I liked the new characters they added and then dumped to become a glorified Red Robin solo title. And Trigon seriously? Is he the definitive TT villain?

That was later, and the name doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
I'm talking about the run he started with X-Men #100. It was not long before New X-Men. (Which I still haven't read, mostly because of fucking Claremont, but want to.)

Oh yeah, that run was pretty bad. But I did love what he did with the 6 month gap and changing up tons of shit. And he unceremoniously booted that lame-ass Marrow with literally no mention of what happened. It was awesome. I love when Claremont has an obvious dislike for a character and drags them through hell (see: Polaris).
TAJ

I only know who Marrow is because of Capcom.
My comics reading was basically just between 1983 and 1993, and piles of comics between March of this year and now.
Other than that, GAF screenshots of notorious things like Hulk ripping Wolverine in half in the Ultimate universe were my only exposure.
There are still huge gaps, like I've read the last 90 issues or so of Uncanny X-Men and from issue #1 to about issue #300, (and own print singles of 211-300)but nothing in between except that Neo stuff. I haven't even read Age of Apocalypse.

Finished Reading Infinity #1
Hickman's language made me reread it twice. Black Bolt's scenes were my favorite of this issue. It was a long setup for the event, but a pretty damn good one. Having the Captain America and Iron Man leading two separate plans/teams across the universe gives this event a grandiose feel. I'm liking where this is going and can't wait for #2.
Man Remender is killing it on Captain America, never seen such a complete fresh take and story on the character. Total dug the whole pulpy sci-fi angle. Not too looking forward to Pacheco starting after the next issue, his style seems so generic when compared to the crazy JRjr style, hopefully those Acuna rumours pan out!

Oh that's easy, start with:
Deadpool Classic
Agent X
Cable and Deadpool
Miniseries to check out:
Wade Wilson's War
Deadpool: Fear itself
I actually think Pacheco's artwork looks excellent so far, and Remender said that the next arc will be a more traditional Cap story as he doesn't want to immediately do a "Dimension Z Part 2" type, so the artwork will reflect that. Nothing wrong with mixing things up, I'm sure he's got even crazier shit planned in the future. We apparently will also see the Green Skull's return at some point, he's going to upstage Poison Ivy as the next environmental comics superstar.

You should pick up Superior Spider-Man Team Up #2 - Scarlet Spider #20 is part 2 of that story. I'm getting both myself.
Whoop,confused the free edition with the beginning of the event!

Has Killer Croc appeared in Batman 66 yet? The concept seems cool but Parker is not a creative or good enough writer to pull it off.
