Oh I didn't know that. How are you feeling this last Simone arc?

Assault on Arkham was great.
I've been loving Action Comics. Clark/Lana is great.

I have been liking it minus the art. Simone is not phoning it in on the final arc when she could have easily.
GH. I might pick up AC again if they go back to more personal stories. In my short time with comics, I have learned that I hate all crossovers. That's why I'm worried about Red Lanterns in October. When it comes to crossovers, I have learned they are only as good as their weakest link. Doomed has become boring to me. I don't care how it ends. Actually, I know how it ends, Johns is writing the post Doomed Supes right now and he is fine.

I'm actually really looking forward to the Green Lantern / New Gods stuff so I'm not too worried about the crossovers. And yeah, while I understand how and why you feel that way about crossovers, they don't bug me nearly to the same degree.
It's interesting to see you respond so strongly to Johns' run so soon. What is it about it that is resonating with you? I'm genuinely curious, as someone who has been enjoying it as well, but also as someone who is coming into it as something of a minor (via my Legion love) Superman fanboy already.

Yeah Action Comics is on a come up
After enjoying my first comic book issues I want to jump into reading DC - did a bit of research online and noticed they have started a refresh which is ideal for me. I want to start reading Batman but which one out of the series? Batman, Batman Inc, Batman & Robin, The Dark Knight and Detective Comics. I have no clue what the differences are so help would be appreciated!
Is it also worth reading Justice League as well because I noticed there is a crossover arc with villain's (can't remember the name) but personally I have enjoyed the villains more than the heroes.
Again, thanks for your help.

Start with Batman.
Bingo, then Batman and Robin. But read all of Snyders Batman first.

All of these are New 52 which is the relaunch. Current issues are around #33 for titles that started with the New 52 launch in 2011:
Batman with #1 to current [Trades for the earlier stuff]
Batman and Robin with #1 to current [Trades for the earlier stuff]
Detective Comics with #30 to current
Skip Detective before 30, Dark Knight. Wait on Batman Inc until you get a little more experience under your belt, as it touches on alot of Batman lore but is worth it to come back to eventually.
That'd be my suggestion. There is also Batman Eternal, which is a weekly title that is around issue #18, and is quite good.
Justice League has been hit or miss and gotten tied up in a few events but has some seriously fun arcs, like the Throne of Atlantis and the Shazam origin story. I'd considering checking it out, dabbling, just to get a feel and see if any other characters resonate with you or to scrarch a team book itch.

The humanity of Superman. I feel in the n52, they have explored mostly Superman, The Kryptonian. In only 2 issues, were getting more Clark Kent. Pak was doing good things here also until he got sucked into the Doomed storyline. They need to turn action into Adventures of Superman and let Pak write small little arcs.
Supes/WW was enjoyable but I don't see how a relationship between the 2 can last much longer or stay interesting.

So I'm still catching up on my weekly comics and I've made it to the letter R. So I must be close right? I just counted and I still have 23 new comics to read! It's impressive how deceptive the digital backlog can pile up
I was looking at my list at work yesterday and I think I'm down to 12 books total. That should pick back in the fall though when the new Babsgirl team comes on and some new Image books come out.

Reading Old Man Logan right now. Art is so good.
And Hawkeye is pretty awesome.
Aside from the current Fraction/Aja run, what are the best storylines involving him? Anything on Marvel Unlimited?
EDIT: What the fuck at

Yea I thoroughly enjoyed GOTG - going to pick up the series on Comixology I think. It was quite funny. One of my favorite Marvel movies so far. My wife really enjoyed it too and she's far from a comic book fan.
Happy to see that Mike Mignola drew some of the GOTG stuff; why the hell wouldn't I pick it up!?

I'm loving that avatar. Where's it from? I'm going to guess Legion. But only because the costume design on the dude looks vaguely familiar.

Legion is awesome. But I only really got into DnAs Legion that seems to have been wiped from everyone's existence (not digital, no trades besides Legion Lost). But read Legion Lost(2001) if you haven't already. That's what got me into Legion. Waid's run was pretty good too but a complete reboot. I still need to check up on the Levitz classic run
Edit: and wow a kipp drawing. The best gift of all. Thanks everyone from comicGAF

Babs Tarrs Deviant Art page.
Kipp makes me want to break out my digital drawing skills.
Also, quit changing your avatars, guys. Now I have to relearn who is who when reading posts.
Harley Quinn, Catwoman or Olivia wilde is me. Always.
So cute!! Double trouble <3
Zombine and I alternate those too
I have a Babs Catwoman if you want it. We can be a trio.

Oh man this is awesome!
Edit: Man, I'm so rusty. Gotta get used to using a fat tip digital pen. *sigh*
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you know how to write in a different language (Japanese?) those strokes are pretty deliberate.

Haha. Awesome. Now I kind of want you to follow up every single one of my posts where I post a drawing with your version of the drawing.
Also, we ought to have an art-off sometime.
And on the completely opposite side of the spectrum, I've got the most un-deliberate strokes of all time. "Oh, unsteady hand, you wanted the line to go that way? Well, you're the boss."

Oh geez. I just remembered that tomorrow's Sunday. I've been working too much these past few days and haven't had a chance to start the second Rafa webcomic yet... Chance are, #2 will be delayed. I'm worse than Aja...

Lol that Aja delay came from they not knowing shit about sign language. You're the next Joe Mad.

That may also just be the pen pressure setting which will automatically taper the line off after a certain set duration. But, it'd be way cool if he did that intuitively because he writes kanji a lot...

Happy birthday Freeza and gketter!
I've been away for most of last month and decided to do a little experiment with my comics. My weekly list were becoming way too much of a stress to my poor wallet.
I basically read almost nothing.
Now whatever book I haven't read by next wednesday will be out of my pull FOREVER.
Let's see what happens.
