It's September, don't know the exact date.

Seriously, my comic of the week easily. Also, Gleason doing Batman, Inc. scenes is damn great.

The "The US Government Is Building Their OWN Superman!!" is older than dirt. I was hyped for it after Sims' Snyderview but yeah. Lame as they come.

I think there is more to it than there seems. People have a tendency to initially doubt Snyder, then come on board once they see where it is going. Maybe that isn't the case here? Don't know. But we'll see.
I think this is going to be more complicated than we think, there's still the Ascension, Lois, and Luthor, plotlines. And seeing how Snyder likes to bring everything together, I doubt we've seen where this is winding up yet.

I agree, though I found

Dreamworks actually bought the entire company. They own all of their IP as far as I know.

I so hope that's what this is.

I should be reading Trinity War, shouldn't I?

So far I'm thinking Infinity will be a damn incredible read when you can read all the stuff at once.

It's much better when you just read them talking about it. I know this first hand.
Man, I hope you're right.
My 8/21/13 comic haul:
Avengers #18 (Infinity Tie-In). Infinity #1 last week has me pretty pumped for this event. I was going to wait on impressions on the tie-in issues but couldn't help myself when I got to my LCS.
Avengers Assemble #18 (Infinity Tie-In). Whew, I grabbed the last copy on the shelf. I think someone was eyeing it too because the guy came over and asked me what I had taken.
Daredevil #30. I'm a few issues behind but I should catch up by this weekend.
Fables #132. I've been trade-waiting on Fables but figure I should catch up on the monthlies since the next trade won't be released until December 2013.
Superman Unchained #3. The first two issues were okay. This book hasn't really wowed me yet but I'm holding out and hope it turns around before I drop it.
Looks like I forgot to pick up Thunderbolts #14 (Infinity Tie-In), though. :/
The small group of us who actively read DC stuff and are reading Trinity War are all (seemingly) really enjoying it. It's much more of a mystery story than it is a Civil War/AvsX hero v hero action beat'em story. I like it a lot and am super hyped for Forever Evil, but your mileage may vary.

You can skip that Thunderbolts issue. Whoo! Stinky!

I'mma get on it. I kinda of just let it fall by the wayside because I stopped picking up JL Dark, which I really enjoyed, and Justice League, which I thought was terrible. Also, Forever Evil sounds awesome, so I think Trinity may be perfect for me.
If nothing else, it's beautiful to look at-Reis, Mahnke, and Janin all brought their A game.
i'm waiting for the issues to drop $1 on comixology and pre-ordering Forever Evil, i do regret not buying it monthly but i was annoyed that JLD was 3.99 and didn't offer a combo pack, threw off my buying habits.

Indeed. It is a great looking storyline and it reads well, even if it is a bit padded.
(I was a bit to harsh on part 5 yesterday, because it did not move the story forward fast enough - I dread forever evil and the 1 issue a month releases...)

I know this is from earlier but yeah, I really liked when Kara stopped being an asshole in the last Supergirl book..
I don't know but I'm liking it.

Is Fables worth catching up on? I left off around 124.

Kind of dirty to market Thunderbolts as an Infinity tie-in. There is exactly one entirely inconsequential generic panel at the end.
If you liked it when you dropped it, yes. If not, no. It hasn't gotten significantly better since you left it , or worse for that matter.
Going back to a monthly release schedule for Forever Evil is going to be excruciating. It has been so great having Trinity War span 6 issues but only two months.

Went to the LCS to pick up Red Hood and the Outlaws vol 1 and they didnt have it so I walked out with vol 1 of Batman and Robin. Batman and Catwoman and Batman and Nightwing made me a fan.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
They have Valiant 99-cent sales every few weeks. It's usually a rebooted series (all but the newest issue or two) and the original. The last one was new Shadowman and old Shadowman. Sometimes it's the whole line, but the last time that happened was the holidays.
I signed up for Comixology in early April and the only thing that hasn't been a buck since then is new Archer and Armstrong.

Bought all the Madman stuff that was for sale on Comixology. I spent like 50 bucks between this and the Gen. X stuff, I should cool it for a bit. Luckily the new sale is just Brubaker Marvel stuff that i mostly already have
I know, should have been Ashton Kutcher.

Oh boy, Ben Affleck's even infected Comics-GAF. As I said in the other thread, I think he'll be pretty good, it's the writing team people should be focusing on.
Anyways, I can't wait for Cap #10, shit's going to be off the chain like Steve's mental state. I really hope Remender does more villain flashbacks like he did for Zola, that was one of the coolest surprises of the series. I'd love to see more of the Zemos' royal life or
von Strucker in his prime before the war. And I'd love it Cap if and Sharon are done, time for him to get a fellow "powered" hero again this time (Scarlet Witch Rick, do you hear me?).

A snippet from Jeff Lemire on Green Arrow (and his other books);
As someone who has been enjoying "Arrow", I'm actually pleased by some of these choices. Particularly Diggle. He has been a great character.

Uncanny Avengers just the most verbose goddamn thing with about a hundred plots and love triangles happening at the same time, but it's that very same quality that reminds me of Claremont's X-Men so it pushes all my buttons that I can't help but dig it.
