I've enjoyed it, it's been a series of short character based stories focusing on Nightmare Nurse, Zatana, and Deadman.
And then they smiled at that. LOL

Guys guys guys I'm excited! Next week I start to get to read marvel comics again! Thanks to images great lineup that just gets better, a Marvel unlimited sale, and Marvels idiotic price drop policies (6-8 months?) in feb I stopped comixology purchases and went to MU. The problem being I've had to wait 6 months for MU to catch up. But it's finally happening. Can't wait to try out different series I'd avoid because they were $4. And continue with the series I had to halt.

I know nothing about this or the recently announced Image books. What's the rundown?

I love that Johns gave Superman a Superbrah to adventure with.

Superman is just so cozy right now, I love it.
That moment in 32 where Supes had the baseball cap on backwards was just so great.

It's just so much fun. I'm seriously loving it.
Superbrah in The Brah of Tomorrow.
That's a great description, in both story and art. It's a comfortable comic!

I mostly lurk but just popping in to say Low #2 was just incredible. We're only two issues in and the team has created a living, breathing world that I'm fully invested in. It's a dense read for a comic, but I really enjoy that aspect and look forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

When I got to the spread of King Robot I let out a laugh and told my girlfriend "of course that's what he looks like," best part of the book.

I still have them. Complete sets of series 2 and 3. Complete sets of X-Men cards series 1 and 2, and Marvel Masterpieces series 1 and 2 complete sets. I don't even know if they're worth anything, but I used to buy that shit by the box.

Sci-fi western with a single mom as the new town sheriff.
The ad in Saga was the first I have heard of it. I bet it'll be good.
Summary of Wayward #1:
what the hell?
COMICS!
Okay, since a lot of people seemed to have skipped Wolverine, a synopsis of this issue:
- Scenario plays out like the end of the last Wolverine series, in a mall with civilians
- Sabretooth taunts Wolverine, saying that he's still scared of death because he's wearing his armor
- Wolverine STRIPS DOWN TO HIS SKIVVIES AND ATTACKS
- They fight, Wolverine wins because he feigns losing.
- Wolverine doesn't kill Sabretooth, and collapses.
- Death appears and is disappointed in Wolverine for not killing Sabretooth. Ends by saying "I'll see you soon".
- Wolverine wakes up in a hospital, revived with the help of Lady Frankenstein (or however she's called).
- Book ends with Wolverine seeing Kitty again, making amends, and says to call him James.
I suppose this ending was expected. The end is literally about Wolverine finally giving up his Logan/Wolverine persona and becoming James again. However, who knows what the next issue will bring.
The solicits were confusing too, since there are a few comics in the coming months that reference the death of Wolverine. So perhaps this isn't the end?

I saw an article about it on CBR a few months back. Was planning to add it to my pull but never got around to it until you brought it up.

As I said on the last page. "Death of Wolverine" actually starts next month. Separate book. But yeah this lead up was confusing as hell.

Not as strong as it was for the first 18 months or so, but still solid and interesting. My brain wants to say the art hasn't been as strong as the writing though. I may be misremebering though I've been working for like 14 some hours today and still going.
I've always thought that Death of Wolverine
dealt with the aftermath of the events in Wolverine? Or did I read the solicits incorrectly?

Maybe? This thing's weird. I think the aftermath series that does this is The Logan Legacy.

Having read Cornell's Wolverine run from the beginning, I feelt that this conclusion was what he was always going for.
This whole Death of Wolverine mess reeks like editorial stepping of

Saga was really good. I will say though, I get the complaints. After establishing the world of the book, it has become the comic about nothing. That's a Seinfeld reference so don't go jumping down my back. I fucking love Seinfeld. The pace of the book is EVERY bit as slow as Futures End. You have to love the world that has been established to like the book.
Black Science. Holy fuck the art just drops my jaw sometimes. It is so good, it would take Hollywood millions of dollars just to create a set for one scene. The story continues to move on. I wouldn't mind if the kids have their own little adventure for awhile.

You should definitely check it out. Jay Faerber is a great (and sadly) underrated writer. (Co-creator of Noble Causes, Dynamo 5 and Near Death)
Thanks for the recommendations!

Guys, this is the fucking pun-iest Azzarello book I've ever read, which makes it the pun-iest book ever. It's pretty good, too, if you like seeing a bunch of nobodies fight irrelevance and obsolescence brought on by the DC Architects behind Infinite Crisis/52. [Also, I'd post some of the puns but it's such a short book and they come at you so nauseatingly hard that I'd rather anybody interested buy it for 7 or whatever bucks and feel your stomach churn and your eyes roll as Azzarello does what he does best.]
I feel like saga is starting to move forward. I kind of wish I had heard of it 2 years from now. I'm thoroughly hooked, so I don't want to wait in trades, but it's going slowly. Be a lot more enjoyable all at once. I'll have to go and reread it all.
As for black science, just finished reading it. It's so gorgeous. I'm not sure what I like more. The art or the story, because both are awesome stuff. Really glad I picked up that trade paperback on a whim.

I guess they finally caught on to the joke.
I remember we were recently talking about Criminal moving over to Image for future publishing. Well I've spotted the first reprint coming in January, just a basic single volume trade.
