I actually don't care for that one, but mostly because i already didn't care for the Straight Outta ___ meme as soon as those images started being shared around

Tradd Moore still holds the title imo

 

[Zombine]

I'm going to give Tetrax my official endorsement. I like to bet on rising stars like GH who have the highest potential for growth. One year contract with stipulations.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Valiant? I will check out their offerings, wasn't a fan of them but will see if any of those catch my eye.

Valiant rebooted their universe a few years ago and it's been fire across the board. I would say that some of them aren't necessarily appealing at surface level (say, like Harbinger or X-O Manowar) but they've got the writing and art to back them up. You can pick up any series at the beginning of an arc and you won't be totally lost. There's a grander scheme to their stories, but they try to make each individual arc as accessible as possible.

€30, not sure about the Queen's money.

It's €15 without the guest armies, who are €5 each, but honestly without them what's the point? I'd rather just dig out my 360 and play the original at that stage.
.

Just checked Steam and it's 25 in the pauper money which still seems a lot for something I'd only piss about in a few times just to kill things with He-man

 

[ReAxion]

I won't list everything, but I'll name some of my favorites.

Image: Deadly Class, Low, Rat Queens, Saga, Lazarus, Velvet, East of West, Shutter, The Beauty, We Stand on Guard

DC: Gotham Academy, Omega Men, Grayson, Batman

Marvel: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, Secret Wars, Silver Surfer

how was The Beauty? premise sounds great but I forgot to pick it up this week.

e: I'm adding Superior Foes of Spider-man to the list, if you want something that's completed and done.

 

[Serpentine]

They released a few more, actually

Annie Wu, after

Ed Piskor, after

Humberto Ramos, after

 

[Messi]

Still no Tupac or Outkast cover? Weird

Excellent. One of my favorite books this week. I'm already hooked on it after one issue.

It was actually the winner of the last Pilot Season.

Finally a book for the beautiful people like me.

Fantastic first issue and everyone should pick it up.

Cool. I'm excited.

I looked right at it on the rack, too. Didn't click that it was what it was.

I picked up the Judge Dredd America trade that came out this week, and never having read it before, I flipped through it. Art looks amazing but then about halfway through it drops off a cliff into some of the worst art I've ever seen. It start out with this great art deco style and then just devolves into what looks like a bad parody of the art from the first half of the book. Does this have some other stories or something done later by someone else? There's no way this is all the same artist. There isn't any sort of index page or anything like that in here.

Some comic shops got The Beauty condoms to give out with the book.

Only one artist is listed for it.

 

[omgkitty]

Yeah I looked and I think I found it: America, The Fading of Light, Cadet, Judgement Call, Blood and Duty, Firepower and Snowstorm

All art by Colin MacNeil, but coloring is different on all of them. The Fading of Light is what stands out to me.

This (America):

vs this (The Fading of Light):

I just got to the part where Bendis explains it. I didn't think his explanation was too bad. The problem is just that Bendis' GotG overall kind of kludges the previous continuity to be more MCU-like. Quill, Drax and Thanos are all alive again, Quill is a smirking, roguish slacker on his junky ship. Knowwhere suddenly is this skeevy, Mos Eisley place. Nobody remembers Quill being the hero of the bug war. In fact, he doesn't seem to be famous at all. The characters from the movie are the core cast, and the other Guardians aren't in it.

In fact, when Bendis finally does get around to explaining how Quill, Drax and Thanos are back (and Richie isn't), it's actually pretty refreshing just to read some acknowledgement of the DnA days.

Cool, thanks. Now that I think of it I did just buy a year of MU, so maybe I'll give it a try some time and try to go in with an open mind.

Also, yeah, any opinions (anyone) on Annihilators or Infinity Gauntlet?

Adam Hughes Hip Hop Variant. Winner.

The redesigns of Dazzler and Nico are going to get this one dropped from my list.

Dazzler looked fucking great when she was Mutant Liaison for SHIELD.

As long as the stories are good the costumes don't bother me.

This......

or this.......

Either would be better than what she going to look like.

I'm far more shallow. Looks matter.

 

[Zombine]

Her post-shield look is hilariously awful and entirely out of character.

Apparently, being held hostage and used to harvest MGH makes you do the unthinkable.... go goth.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Guys what am I going to do with my life after I finish Gotham Central? I'm scared

 

[Kipp]

which shop?

Comics N Stuff in the Westfield mall. I still need to go to that shop in San Marcos.

Ok guys, just read the first issue. thanks for building up how off-putting this would be because I actually prepared myself for more. I actually like it.

Haha nice.
If that vulgarity isn't an issue for you, then you'll absolutely love Preacher. The over-the-top-ness of Preacher was the only very minor shortcoming of it for me.

You could post more in here?

He posts more than you, Messi. I don't want to come in here and see every other post for ten pages straight talking about Valiant and be authored by Lunchpad.

I have been purposefully posting less. You guys don't need to read every single thought I have about comics/strong jawed women/sejic. Its part of my exit strategy. Old comicgaf is being phased out we are being replaced by the new blood.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I'm sorry Messi, did you say something?

Pulling a GH, bold move.

I hate that they charge for bags & boards

Youll probably be underwhelmed at Toy Wars, it's small. Sky High on Rancho Santa Fe is pretty good, too.

I think I'll take it for a spin after I finish GC.

What exactly put you off?

Spoiler

was it the guy's girlfriend getting her arms snapped off or the lady getting banged over her desk without warning? lol

He was being sarcastic Freeza

Sorry Messi, I get bored at work and I like to talk about comics. I'll try to post less.

For whatever it's worth, I would rather people let me know what's bothering them if I can change it rather than have them disappear like JC or Rafa.

Shit doesn't bother me as much as I let on. But dude, you need a new avatar. Monokumo is starting to annoy the shit out of me.

I am only kidding around man. Post as much as you like lol. Its more for me to read when I am in work.

JC left because he was a punk ass. He didn't even bother to respond to my pm. I needed his help and he wasnt there for me. He out there acting like he is better than us. Posting in other threads, showing off all his cool posting skills to other people. We dont need him. I dont need him.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

I'm seeing a lot of inspiration for The Dark Knight in GC, especially with the Joker arc. Interesting, and obviously great, stuff

Shit doesn't bother me as much as I let on. But dude, you need a new avatar. Monokumo is starting to annoy the shit out of me.

Are you as mean as you let on?

I want to change my avatar, but I basically can't until this round of mafia games is done lol

Alright man, but do let me know if I get out of line. "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I would not want to lose you or anyone else by being a knucklehead.

Yeah, man, screw JC. He can go post in all them poor as shit OT comic threads and hate himself for it.

Launchpad is my favorite poster next to myself.

 

[NoRéN]

I've realized that the closest comic book shop to me really fucking sucks. It's cluttered, poorly lit, and they mark up stuff on day one if they think it will go up in value.

 

[Messi]

Launchpad is my favorite poster next to myself.

 

[Owzers]

i like how Comics-gaf is completely okay with Messi being a robot, we've come a long way from only allowing humans to post their opinions and i've always wondered how the Harley demographic was manufactured.

I get these thoughts everytime i watch a tv show or movie with robots in them, first Ex Machina and now Humans.

 

[Bii]

Launchpod is growing on me.

 

[echoshifting]

Aw, Gamora avatar, I miss you already

 

[PsychBat!]

I'm gonna be reading Captain Marvel once SW ends.

 

[Freezasaurus]

That was a good avatar.

 

[Zombine]

Messi is my other favorite poster other than myself. Honestly you're all great. Bii would be on my good list, but he wouldn't let me buy his amiibo.

 

[Messi]

I'm gonna be reading Captain Marvel once SW ends.

I'm not.

None of you appreciated my fine female avatars now you get sexually suggestive Pep Guardiola. You only have yourselves to blame.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I'm not.

You would if Ann Nocenti were writing.
