Yeah, they're only 10 minutes walk away from each other, if that. Still means a 50-minute journey each way to go there. Maybe I'll just order it online somewhere.

Do you go to a comic shop in Dublin, Messi? Which one? I've mostly just bought online, but I think I want to pick up that Fade Out variant.
I went to Forbidden planet today usually go to Dublin city comics. They only got one of that variant.
Oh, cool. I've never been to Dublin City Comics before. I'll have to check it out. Only ever been to Forbidden Planet and Sub-City.

"Multiversity will be nine total issues, with two bookends (numbered as issues #1 and #2), and seven #1 issues in between that depict various Earths in the Multiverse. According to Morrison, each issue tells an individual story while being part of the larger story."
"Characters within the story will contact each other by publishing comic books that others can read, Morrison said. "In each parallel reality youll see one of them is reading the comic that you just read the month before and finding out what happened to the good guys, giving them a chance to defeat the bad guys in the next one. They are kind of passing on, in a chain, their own adventures," Morrison said.
"So characters in issue 3 will be literally be reading Multiversity #2, Morrison said. And characters in issue #4 will be reading #3."
Sounds pretty cool

I don't like sub city. He over prices everything. He is charging 150-160 per bombshell statue.

Ask him if he knows who you are, the next time you go in. If he knew he was overcharging Messi, I bet he'd reconsider. If that doesn't work, threaten him by showing your average posts per month in these threads and how many ones of customers he could lose because of your negative comments.

New Avengers does it again. Based Hickman delivers.
Yeah? That sucks. Is Forbidden Planet good for statues? I seem to remember them having a reasonable stock in the shop, right? Or do you mostly just get them online? I know nothing really about the different shops, has rarely seemed worth heading into Town considering the prices of individual issues in general.

Spoiler it for me breh so I don't have to open it up and glance through at the comic store.

Why does the dude have Cap's shield?
You are best buying online. Even with Shipping Tfaw.com and bigbadtoystore beat them on price easily. On those sites the Bombshells end up being 100 single issues are cheaper too.

I'm not actually going to buy it bro. I'm just internet nerd enough to wanna know so I can be snarky about it.
Vance Astro is from the future. Cap's shield was lost and he retrieved it. Upon retrieving it, he donned a costume and calls himself Major Victory.
Scott Lang is the current Ant-Man, he's most recently appeared in Original Sin. Hank Pym had his own team of Avengers in Avengers A.I. I'm not sure what else he's been in since then other than a few issues of Daredevil. I think Eric O'Grady died in Remender's run of Secret Avengers.
Hank Pym actually showed up in the most recent issue of She-Hulk, too.
I actually asked pretty much the same thing up there, this is what Palette Swap said:
So I think we'll be fine.
Cool. I'm in the mood for some Ant-Man with the movie comming next year. I grew a liking to him in Avengers EHM and his apperance in Avengers Assemble too.

I haven't read any Spider-Man comics and the movies might have given me versions of him that I dislike. Any series recommendations that doesn't have the angst and mopeyness from the movies? (Preferably something that is complete on Marvel Unlimited).
Superior Spider-Man.
Did anyone else buy Druckmann's 'A second chance at Sarah'
Art is lovely and it's a nice little hardcover. I'm sure the story is suitably depressing as it is Druckmann. It starts with this Sarah girl
in a coma having never met her newborn baby
Damn you Druckmann!!

TFAW seems like a cool site (Jae Lee B&W Batman for under £40? uh yes please) but I'd be afraid i got hit with customs all the time, which is more than likely. I need to find a reliable UK site where i can subscribe to the Image stuff I'm reading, it's a pain in the arse having to travel 30 miles or more to find a comic book store.
Most you will pay in taxes is £10ish. I've never got hit for a black and white statue. Still cheaper than comic stores here. Forbidden planet sells all black and white statues for 90

The first Spider-man comics I read were Superior Spider-man.(sense I've gotten back into comics from my younger days) Its reaally good.
I've been getting Amazing Spider-man sense the relaunch.. Its decent I don't like it as much as I did Superior Spidey.
Spider-Man 2099 has been pretty good too (up to 2 issues now)

For any digital readers here, Comixology is having a multiverse sale to coincide with Multiversity finally being released. Every issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, and Final Crisis (Morrison's most similar work to Multiversity) and a few Elseworlds tales are part of it.
To add to what others have said, I get the feeling that this won't spill over much to the main DCU.
Best line in a long time.

Thanks. It's not like i dislike Scott Lang (he seems cool too) but Hank's the best.

I'm just not as familiar with Lang and I don't know of any major story arc where he had any significance. Maybe someone can school me and I can learn to love him, but he just seems like a poor man's Ant-Man to me. It's like if Iron Man was a new movie and they put Rhodey in the suit for the first installment.
Was the thing I hated most about Wright's version of the film and was really hoping it'd get scrapped when he left the project.

Was it the same as Sensation #1? Because wow that was some terrible writing.

Aside from Multiversity's absolute greatness, I just got around to reading the new Ms. Marvel issue and I really, really liked this book too. The fact this issue had my favorite Wolverine in ages helped a lot but beyond that, I think the series itself is pretty special as I can't think of a book that has the same tone.
Yeah, this is me gushing over the fact that on the whole and despite appearances, this industry feels way more creative than it was 10 years ago, let alone 20. And I'm just talking super heroes here.

I found it to be better than 1, but I do agree the writing is a bit TOO on the nose with it.
Good thing the creative team is shaken up every issue or so
