Bergen Street Comics for life brah.m
Think I'd rather read it in trade than have to wait god-knows-how-long between each issue. If I desperately need to read it I can always jump on when the final issue has a firm date.

You could also just read the revised Gunslinger and you'd be set.

Haha, is it really that heavily influenced? Do we mean like similar tone & imagery, or like, actual plot elements are very similar?
Both had satisfactory conclusions to their recent arcs.

Looks incredible. Multiversity put this preview up as an *exclusive* the day the book was announced, and had a really great interview along with it, worth reading. I'll edit in a link in a mo. Click

Gee, I don't know. Man in black tells stories around a campfire to a young child, I guess it's not too similar to the Gun --
OH FUCKING WAIT.
I think they became DT books like... later, from when we weren't sure if DT would be finished. I love both of them. Right here and now.

I've had it pre-ordered since it was announced. Should get it next week apparently. The second volume's due out in December according to Amazon.

Sounds about right. The wait between Dan Slott's She-Hulk Complete Collection was about three or four months IIRC. Well worth the wait considering the original trades for volumes 1, 2, and 3 are ridiculously expensive since they're out of print.
Don't forget guys, the first Complete Collection for Uncanny X-Force comes out this month too. So so excited for that. I cannot wait to reread The Apocalypse Solution!

Just finished Transformers MTMTE 5 and man, this series is so amazing. Seriously, check out the humble bundle even if you're just gonna read this series. It is awesome.

Sure, but you'll miss out on Zombine and I gushing all about it and getting all emotional and shit and throwing on our goth makeup and black trenchcoats and declaring it the year of Gaiman.
That bundle is frustrating to me. I've been interested in the series, but I just don't like doing digital when I could help it. So even if I were to pick it up on the justification of trying the series out, I'd still feel a need to go back and pick those volumes up in physical format anyway, so it'd just be throwing away money.

Stupid digital, having all the good sales!

trade waiting Sandman. Or waiting until all six issues come out, cuz who knows when DC releases the trade in 21XX or some shit when Mega Man X and the rest of the Maverick Hunters rollin through town. Figure I'd hear the beating of mighty wings all at once ya feel me

I've had a look at that one. Pretty sure the artist is the same guy who did Thumbprint with Ciaramella at IDW. The big sticking point is Moreci. He hasn't really put out anything consistent or that screams buy me before. If it gets good reviews though, I'm definitely interested in the idea and the look.
Yup, I think 15 bucks for these comics is a steal. Granted, I've only read the first issue of MTMTE, but I liked it a lot even though I know next to nothing about Transformers. Just the way it was written and drawn somehow made me instantly care about these characters. Especially Optimus, who seems to be a level 99 badass.
Oh, and Guardians of the Galaxy is very good. Some of the jokes didn't hit, some were too forced, some things form the comics were changed in a way that I didn't like*, but I'd take an enthusiastic movie like this over a grimdark sci-fi flick any day these days. Science-fiction is FUN, guys, so why do creators/companies forget about that so often?
*(Marvel Cinematic Universe kiiiinda spoiler not really but just to make sure)
I don't think we'll get a Nova movie anytime soon considering they aren't superheroes here

Due to the comixology sale I'm reading the first appearance of robin (Tec comics #38) and once again I discover another great influence in the Batman TAS show. In the episode Reckoning the fight with the gangsters in the skyscraper construction rafters was an homage to the robin showdown with Zucco and his goons!
Man I love discovering these little nuggets. I wonder what other references are out there from classic batman comics that haven't read. Batman TAS is so awesome
Edit: Bruce smokes a pipe! And Dick seems to get over his parents death and the death all around him pretty quickly. Oh and. Bruce just tells his identity almost on a whim. The age of compression in comics is fun to look back on

Sandman Overture - Plan to read it at the library when trade is out. Will buy Absolute edition when it gets released.
(I have been waiting to read A Clash of Kings since 2001. I am a patient man.)

why not digital? At that price, for that amount of books, even if you do decide there's something there that you want to have a physical copy of you've hardly wasted any money.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm already planning on buying MTMTE physically in a few weeks, it's so good. Definitely consider the bundle though, $15 for two volumes of MTMTE alone is a steal. And even if you do pass on the bundle, you need to check out this series.
Oh man, I know! James Roberts does an incredible job at making Cybertron and the Transformers come to life. Before I read this my favorite was always Optimus, but now I'm torn between Ratchet and Tailgate. The dialogue feels really genuine and it's just a good comic all around. It manages to do humor and drama perfectly from what I've read so far.
I started watching Batman TAS a couple of days ago and want to watch all four seasons.
Its so great, I really cant believe that this is a cartoon, it always feels so adult and dark and the art design is so amazing.
To bad that todays cartoons arent as good anymore :/
Is Superman: TAS also worth a look?

It's good but never clicks like Batman. It gets close near the end. Now batman/Superman Worlds finest was an Amazing movie. And mask of the phantasm batman movie was AMAZING. A must watch
Batman Beyond is great too

just read the first 3 issues of southern bastards and I really hope somebody makes it into a movie..... I just can't think of a older southern action star who could pull it off.
Eh, I'm just an old (in spirit) grump to a certain degree, so I always want physical, even if I'm drowning in books and running out of space. Especially with books, I just prefer the experience of reading a physical copy so much more. It's a good deal, I'll admit, but I'm sure I'm going to get the current stuff eventually, and I'd be doing that in print, and I DEFINITELY couldn't get down with starting digital then transferring to physical.
If it's any encouragement, I thought the first volume was just "good." The second volume was what caused me to absolutely love Fear Agent and made it one of my favorite comics ever.
But yeah, I definitely know that feeling. Something I only learned very recently is that action leads to motivation, not the other way around. I'm sure if you force yourself to start it, you'll get totally into it.
Damnit guys, it's my seven year anniversary today and all I want to do is watch Guardians of the Galaxy! And now work related bs is getting in the way. Not to mention the fact that my day started poorly due to that stupid Mondo drop
Congrats on seven years!
I'm in the same predicament. Was unsuccessful on the Mondo drop this morning, couldn't be in three places at once during lunch (baby shower and two going-away parties...ultimately had to pick one), stuck at work for the next few hours doing someone else's work, and all I'm thinking about is when can I squeeze in some time this weekend to watch Guardians of the Galaxy.
On the bright side, I picked up my comics from my LCS for this week and last. Now I have a huge stack of floppies I need to catch up on, along with the trades I bought recently, and the Marvel Unlimited sub I got.
Yeah, I have no doubt that I will enjoy it, just can't work up the motivation or desire to start it. Maybe I'll reread my Animal Man omnibus or my Jack Kirby's the Demon omni. Ah decisions. decisions.
I'm okay with that. Small price to pay.
I'm sure if I ask nicely when the time comes you'll pull your old posts out for me to marvel over.
Dark Horse is coming to CMX?
