Needs more Invincible (is written by the creator of The Walking Dead)
The first 48 issues of Walking Dead are definitely worth reading. Things get a little repetitive after that, but the volumes he has are pretty good.
All New X-Men was really good this week. I still have Manhattan Projects to read, but that might be my book of the week.

I'd agree with that. There's just something about Kirkman's "voice" that bugs me, personally. His stuff isn't bad.
Cool pile but definitely get this:
I read the first one and have two more here. Seems good.

Yeah, I definitely can't wait for American Vampire to start back up again.

All New X-Men X-Men #15
Cool issue. I wonder if Jean's actions will have repercussions in the timeline in the next issues
But imo, Wtf Jean? You're suppose to eventually fall for Logan and ditch Cyclops in the past not fall for Beast. Sorry but I can't stand these pairings ie. Cyclops/Jean, Beast/Jean <--- Not a serious post

This is kind of what happens with Purple Man in Alias, but it's even more psychologically twisted.

He can stage an action scene like nobody's business tho
Some times you get the impression a lot of people are thinking the same thing.
mattdodge: Is there a DC villain you would love to see one of your Marvel heroes face off against?

The last page is
an affirmation that nothing was changed by her actions; the first thing Jean does after making out with Hank is check the wedding invitation, and it still gives Scott's name alongside hers. Jean's real motive in going after Hank is to change fate somehow, and it's just not working.
Also, didn't care for the issue. BotA is going to be a make-or-break situation with this series for me.
so write a book deeper than " how bad a villain can be." Last Millar book i liked was Old Man Logan, i forget if that had hulks raping people but i think it was hinted at.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Avengers 17 issue of glacial Hickman has been pretty naff with his Gary Stu All Original Line Up worfing everyone else for the whole run. Might have to drop it if Infinity isn't the Hottest Shit. In comparison, New Avengers seems like the comic he wants to write.
I see theres some X-event next up? I feel like there are too many X-books right now, and All New is running a lot longer than I expected with no real direction (romantic switcheroo match ups now?). Uncanny X-Force has been terrible, I'm not wholly convinced of X-Women after that abrupt opening arc, although the art is gorge. Oh and Uncanny X-Men has been fucking terrible. Wolverine and the X-Men remains the centrepiece.

If I want to collect all of Gotham Central should I track down all of the hardcovers even if they're expensive? It looks like the paperbacks are missing several issues.
Edit: Wikipedia wasn't clear and it looks like they released TPBs containing all of the issues.

There will be a X-event this fall. It's called Battle Of The Atom.

That is not how I read it.
I'm quite sure that it simply a reminder that it is not easy for ANXM#15
Jean to live with the fact that she grew up loving a man that now is hated by his peers and may have murderer her creepy lusting mantipulative -not-quite fatherfigure. But is it now confirmed that everyone of the original X-men but Bobby wanted to be with Jean? Angle, Beast, Xavier and Scott were all lusting after her...

For me it was yet another highlight of Hickman. The last few pages when the "Avenger's World"-caption set in I became really pumped for Infinity.
To me Hickman is crafting the best Avenger's stories in a very long time and if he can keep it up and does not jinx it now with Infinity he may surpass other "good" runs before his second year has even started.
But onwards to the GL Universe:
It get's better. This issue shows the problems that emerge when one makes Jordan a leader. This makes him sympathic for the very first time in a long time. We are not at "Mark Waid's Hal Jordan" love levels, but which writer's Jordan is?
And the subplot Spoiler for GL:NG 21&22 and GL22
of the connection between Kyle and Carol is now featured in the GL book too. This could lead to many problem both inuniverse and espcially the very dangerous real world meaning of Carol's "power" depending on her loving a man, be it Hal or Kyle.

Superior Foes of Spider-Man #2 is my favorite this week.
Superior Spider-Man #15 felt like filler compared to the events of the last few issues, but it was still enjoyable.
Avengers A.I. #2 was kind of a let down after how much I enjoyed the first issue. I'll stick with it for a while, but I can see myself dropping it later on if it doesn't improve.
Deadpool Kills Deadpool #2 was pretty good.
All-New X-Men #15 was a fun issue. The art was a nice change of pace.
Daredevil Dark Nights #3 was a nice solemn issue. I'm liking Lee Week's work a lot.
I still need to read Satellite Sam #2.
Seeing how all the b-tier villains react when the Punisher shows up was hilarious

Given the rules of time travel (as established in the MU) - they're in a parallel timeline now.

Right. I took the last page to indicate that Jean was contemplating changing her fate.

Interesting and kind of cruel for Jean to do that. And sort of reasonable
Ultimately I feel for young Scott and young Hank throughout ANXM
as they haven't done anything, it's their future selves that are screwing up. Scott, who gets yelled at for something that is, effectively, done by someone else (even if it's his future self) and Hank who will have his emotions toyed with just because Jean is trying to stop shit by herself.

So I saw the ad for Villians month and it list all 52 villians that are getting a one shot. Do I need to preorder the ones I want from the LCS or should I pull them from the shelf like I always do?

The 3D ones? There is a "shortage" such bullshit.
Also, not everyone is 9-5.
Superior Foes #2 is great, really funny. An enjoyable read. Luther Strode #6 ended ok, I just love Tradds art. Finally got Day Men #1, hot god damn that book is gorgeous. Burn the Orphanage #1 wasn't that good at all. Sheltered #2 was meh. Prophet was prophet, Giannis did good, like usual, though the back up was blah as blah.
Whats the best place to get an online pull list? I'm moving soon and there isn't a comic shop for miles (like an hour away don't wanna drive there all the damn time).

You should refrain from buying any of them. Especially with DC pulling this shit for $3.99 a pop.
My DC pulls are going to be very light, that month. Meaning only some Vertigo stuff.
Yeah vol 1 and 2 accidentally ordered readers digest ones off amazon

La Fuente's art was part of the reason I didn't like this issue. Seemed like a rushjob.
Mark Millar really needs to disappear. I hate that he's so popular and now invading movies.
Just to help you out, the hardcovers that Wiki lists have since been released in paperback. Just look for Gotham Central: Book One, Two, Three and Four, and not the ones released as Volumes, of which there were five and incomplete.

Didn't I read that his "input" on Marvel movies these days is beyond minimal? I think, of course, there will always be the debt they owe to The Ultimates, but as far as him sitting in a room and dictating direction for Marvel movies, who knows, I just don't see it happening.
And that article was just, assuming way too much about KA2's future success.
