Lol GotG was fine. Wish they'd gotten Vines instead of Farmer to ink it. Literally my only complaint. Anything character-based is pretty silly to complain about so early in the story. No idea how things will end up shaking out.

Did T.M.N.T Turtles in Time #3 come out this week?? Comiclist.com showed this week.
Batman Eternal #21 was awesome. Can't wait for #22. Lovin me some Fabok Batman.
Picked up Batman Beyond: Universe #13. Beginning of a new story arc. Really enjoyed it. Love the cartoon art. dammit add another Bat book to my pull list.
Saga #22.. Like everyone else is thinking.. That first page.. what da faq?!.. and that big ass 10 foot
. lol Good issue though
Read half of Batman / Superman #13 before falling asleep. Good half issue. love Jae Lee's art, and his Gotham City.
I have a Bat problem... Currently pulling 7 Bat books.
But they are all so good right now! They all have such good art and good stories IMO.
Really enjoy every title a lot though,, so that's what counts
.. Damn and of course I have to check out Arkham Manor #1 and Gotham Academy #1
That's a third of my pull list.

Hey guys, I'm after suggestions for solid, comic related podcasts that I can listen to while Diablo-ing or on the commute to and from Uni. Takers?
I know some people find Kevin Smith an acquired taste, but Fatman on Batman is excellent, especially the episodes that are in-depth interviews with Batman creators.
If you're into DC and want really descriptive story and spoiler discussion, Raging Bullets is great. 2-3 hours long!
For industry / news talk, the Comic Conspiracy is entertaining. Ryan Higgins, the host, owns a shop and will often give insight at to why you shouldn't own a comic shop!

There's so many..
Talking Comics. Comic Geek Speak. Fight For Comics. iFanboy.
Those are all pretty good

These are a great start. I'll download an episode or two and see what I think. Thanks guys. For the record, I'm into DC, so Raging Bullets sounds good. I just didn't know where to start, there are definitely many. Do many of the suggested Podcasts do reviews?
On another note, I haven't read GOTG 18 yet, but it's in my download queue. Is it honestly that soul destroying? Keeping in mind I haven't read Abnett and Lanning's run; this is my first volume of GOTG.

Already added the latest episode to my iPod.
Thanks again for the suggestion. I'll be sure to post my impressions.

I never planned to, first issue didn't grab my attention and knowing it was by Bendis didn't even encourage me to pick up the later issues.
Low and behold, it's a very weak series.

Comic Conspiracy is lots of mouth breathing nerds that think they know more than they do though, I often find it infuriating. They seem like the kinds of people that, were they reviewing games they'd have separate bits for graphics sound and gameplay.
The only comics pod I listen to is ifanboy's pick of the week show. Nerdy but not offensively so, knowledgable but know their limits, nice people.

And still no ComicGAFcast
I've come to the conclusion that a comicsGAF pod would only be good if it was full in antagonistic nerd fights. 3 hour Quitely pod for the pilot, followed by "why is the new 52 so shit?"

Really all of those do reviews. I've found out about a lot of really good comics and TPB's
though podcasts too. Like Strange Attractors,, Great OGN. one of my favorite reads.
Sometimes its a pain because I already have a pretty big pull list,, but after listening to podcasts there's always some books I wanna check out.
FUN FACTOR: 5.0!

I really enjoy both ifanboy and War Rocket Ajax for comic book podcasts. ComicVine is solid too.

You don't go into ifanboy expecting to hear them talk about DC. They wear their disdain for DC on their sleeves with the occasional bone tossed to Batman or a Vertigo title.
Comics Conspiracy has an amusing mix of fanboy positions but doesn't really do reviews.
Comic Vine will touch on a little bit of everything but can often lack any real detail.

Is anybody still reading Ms. Marvel? Shit is still excellent and now she's getting a pet, like the Marvel Solo Title Mandate states.

Hell to the yes. It's magnificent. It's even made me not hate everything about The Terrigen Plot.
Are there Comic Podcasts, which dont talk about the newest news and current Issues, and rather talk about classic Story Arcs, Specials about famous artists and writers and things like this? You guys know, I read comics mostly in Tradepaperbackform, so I cant follow up when people talk about the newest events.

I actually really liked the fill-in artist on the Wolverine issues. The book's tone is pretty lighthearted and perfect so far. I'm expecting tragedy soon.
One more try in case anybody has an opinion that could help me out.
Also, one more Hellboy Library Edition came in on IST! Just 2 more and they'll all be in! (The first one is still not in though).

Read the first story arc (8 issues) of Batman Beyond 2.0. Really good. Happy I checked this out.
Had to do a little research to understand the history of Terry McGinnis.

For me personally, I enjoy Talking Comics the most. They have a segment where they talk about some highlights from the week, then they talk about pick of the week, and then industry news/interviews.
iFanboy is pretty great too, nice set of guys, and I personally enjoy listening to people's thoughts on the weekly issues.
Comic Conspiracy isn't bad, and I think part of the reason I enjoy them is because I've actually been to that comic store.
I know I've vouched for them before, but I love The Hangout as well. They interview someone from the comics industry every week, so that's always been fun to listen to.
Comic Geek Speak has frequent segments on things like this. I know they've down Bronze/Silver/Golden Age themed episodes, best of episodes, etc.
YAY! Glad you liked it, it's definitely the only podcast I listen to the moment it's downloaded on my phone.
Hells yeah! Recent ark with Wolvie was great, G. Willow Wilson is doing such great stuff with Kamala.

And with that the final issue of (the current run of) Superboy. I'm going to miss it. It really turned around and was a lot of fun especially with Jorge Jimenez' gorgeous art.

Haha, funny, that's actually the exact reason I stopped subscribing to them.
I know a lot of people also listen to 11 O'Clock comics, but I found the length of their episodes to be too long for my liking.

More people reading Batman Beyond!
It's a shame it improved so late into the Run. It didn't help that once they finally got Kon to a likable spot they got rid of him, and as soon as they got Jon into a likable spot they cancelled the series.
Though I wonder if it'll come back ala Teen Titans and Suicide Squad.

If the teaser at the end of Supergirl #33 is correct...
(Kon) Superboy will become part of a Gen 13 team.
It's got manga / animated influences to be sure. It's just so lively and energetic without skimping on the details. Plays with fluid proportions without seeming over the top.

Bleeding Cool is reporting that Marvel has canceled Elektra, and the team of Blackman/Del Mundo will be moving to another Marvel project.
I blame you.

It was a good looking book, but maybe a comic with a bad guy called Bloody Lips doesn't deserve to live.
Bummer. The art is superb.
