So gang, what's everyone been reading this weekend?
Been catching up on TMNT (City Fall) and Uncanny Avengers (Avenge the Earth) and I'm loving both of them.
@Cheska: I wish you asked last month... I did a giveaway for the first 6 or 7 issues! I only have the codes for the last two I think

Trust in your ComicsGAF Bros.
It's not as clever as it thinks it is. But it's a decent read.
I have fantastic taste.

Been reading Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. (My first Hellboy comic). I have no idea why I waited this long to read one, it is brilliant.

I mostly agree. I would just love to see Luke meet up with Cap at some point. I think that would be a lot of fun to read.
This would probably be more fun to read.
This is what I'm expecting. A ton of little nods and references without going overboard. A wookie showing up in the background of a GOTG issue, a Nova officer walking through Coruscant in some issue, stuff like that. At least, I hope.
I have been reading Nova, I've gotten through issue 6. Darn good series.
Also read Thor: God of Thunder: Godbomb - Damn good. So awesome and fun to read. I absolutely loved the villain and the way the story came together. One of the best pair of TPBs I've ever read and really made me fall in love with the character of Thor. Never been a huge fan of his but how can I not after reading something like this?
Rocket Raccoon 1 & 2 were fun with a ton of little references that were awesome. Star Lord wasn't quite as good but the first two issues were enough to keep me going.
My gf read Batman New 52 Vol. 3 and liked it. Wouldn't tell me much about it because I'll be reading it soon. But she did say it was better than the second book, which neither of us liked as much as the first. She also read Wonder Woman New 52 Vol. 2. Liked it but not as much as the first one apparently.
Just finished Street Fighter Classic Vol. 1. Nearly done with The Thanos Imperative and will start up Hellboy Library Edition Vol. 1 soon.
One Punch Man which is absolutely fantastic, and currently I'm powering through all of Fatale. I love it so much I can't stop reading it.

OPM hasn't been officially translated yet, has it? How many chapters in is it? Maybe I'll just plow through it sometime.

Please tell me you've read Sleeper. It's a must read for Brubaker/Phillips fans.
Just buy the deluxe edition volumes for criminal. There's 2 of them

Really? Wow. I thought it'd be too obscure. Digital-only?

The first 2 volumes are on sale as part of the viz sale that ends tonight? Or tomorrow. $5 instead of $7 per volume

Yeah it is digital only. Wish it was physical!

You want these two right here, although Image might release their own Deluxe Hardcovers down the line.
I took a break from Scud and reread the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Gauntlet Aftermath years today.
I also have the new Haruki Murakami novel sitting on my shelf to read as well.

Grabbed volume 1 for $5. Let's do this.

Thanks! I was totally confused. I could only locate Book 1 at first.
And see, I'm new to Brubaker crime novels. I was first introduced to them with Velvet which is my favorite book, seeing as how it has a lot in common with the Bond novels. Now I'm reading Fatale and I can't stop. It clicked with me that I LOVE pulp crime comics and I need more.

You need sleeper volume one and two. It's a mix of supervillians, spies and pulp crime. One of the earlier Brubaker/Phillip collaborations. There's an even added bonus if you're familiar with the wildstorm universe but it's not essential to enjoying the series.

What brought up Brubaker/Phillips?
Is everybody looking forward to The Fade Out?

These Jonah Hex stories by Joe R. Lansdale and Tim Truman of Grimjack fame. Horror-themed westerns, pulpy as fuck dialog, great art. Good comics.
and random issues of TransMet for some reason

I keep eyeing that Sleeper Omnibus every time I'm making a IST order, I need to get on it soon.
Anybody know if Scene O/T Crime is a good read?
TheDarkKnight774

It's pretty good. But not one of their stronger works. That was one of their first works together and it felt like they were still figuring things out.
BuddyJoeHooker
Member
Hmm I'll probably sit on it then, thanks.
My love for Velvet and Lovecraft drove me to the Fatale sale on Comixology, and I realized that it's not a love of just Velvet, but all of the Brubaker/Philips books and now I want them all.

It took me reading a whole volume of a manga on cmx to realize it's meant to be read on an ipad portrait style. I always read comics landscape with smart panel. It reads much better now that I know!
And it's like getting manga omnibus sized! Digital is the way to go for manga.

I like to buy Berserk physically because it's my favorite manga, but everything else is too damn perfect on my ipad. Love Viz.

Fatale was Brubaker & Philips trying something new. Their strength has always been straight-up crime fiction.

Zombine you should read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
I LOVE Jojo everything. The show, the books, the figures, the Capcom game, and I own the Namco one but I haven't put much time into it.
Dio is my favorite.
I reeeeeeally need to pick up those Criminal hardcovers. I still haven't read any of the Brubaker/Phillips stuff, but I know I'll love Criminal.
Also, I've gotten addicted to C-SPAN again, so after I finish Doom Patrol, I think it will be a good time to start reading Ex Machina.
The Jonah Hex: Shadows West TPB?
I haven't finished it yet, but I read the first two minis and I think it's great fun. For being two decades old, it really doesn't seem that dated. Granted, the art is very 90s, but it's still very enjoyable. I think the writing is hilarious and exactly as weird/crazy as it ought to be.

Don't think I didn't notice that you totally Freeza'd those image tags.
BUT HOW CAN YOU BLAME ME IT'S SO ENGROSSING.
Yesterday I watched a full hour and a half town hall meeting. Today I watched a full hour interview with an ex-CBS investigative reporter.
And just you wait until Congress is back in session. Hot damn. It's gonna be like the World Cup with how much I'll be glued to the TV.

Whoa. Whoa. That can only be used in regards to spoiler tags. My IMG tags are always FUCKING IMPECCABLE.
You're right. I'm sorry. I took that too far.
Haha I botched it. And I met the C-SPAN crew. Working for Govt TV may be a bail out plan for me. I have like 50 orange C-SPAN pens laying around.

Are the volumes they have on cmx the start. It says part 3 but vol 1. Me confused

I bought the first three volumes of One-Punch Man. $4.99 ea. Not bad, you can't even get more than one physical manga volume for that price.
That's what I did. I read the preview, laughed hard, then just bought all of it. Vol 4 is on the way.
Freezasaurus
Member
I saw that. This week, I think.
I also picked up Kill La Killfor $10. At that price why not? To be honest, I love manga quite a bit. The only stuff I don't enjoy are the moe blob stories. The closest I get to that stuff is Rosario + Vampire.

Manga are basically comics anyway. Though there's a lot more crap to dig through to find the good stuff.

Kill La Kill was fun at times. The pacing was the real issue. YA was fucking hipster trash.
