CBR, Valiant-focused, interview with Jeff Lemire. Gives some insight to the creative process over there.
Choice paraphrase, he says something like "the series feel almost creator-owned".

I'm not sure if I'm in the hater group you're speaking of, but for what it's worth, I got the book from the library with every intention to enjoy it, having no reason to want to be cool by hating it or something, but I just couldn't stand his writing. I completely understand that my opinion is in the minority since so many people dig TWD, so I'd never try to convince anyone not to read it just because I don't happen to like it. But yeah, that's where I stand on that. I do really wish I enjoyed it as much as you do though, since it seems like it'd be an epic ride.
Uuuugh. Oh well. I'll power through it today. Like I said, I don't hate it by any means, but for how good the rest of Delano's run on Hellblazer has been, this arc is a big letdown.

Lol he is perfectly reasonable.

Who we talking about, Kirkman? His books tend to devolve into the same messes, yeah.
Oh my God. I am going to get sick. Peanut Butter and banana? Get the fuck.
Get a spoon and eat that peanut butter like a man.

I don't like bacon. I could very easily give up meat. It all tastes the same to me.

Doomsday's original design was pretty neat, and when I heard about the concept, I thought I might give it a shot, but I have no idea how the hell this is supposed to be Doomsday:

Add me to the list. Dropped Invincible after the first couple of trades. Felt like it was heading in some Superheroes 90210 direction.

Weirdworld was as beautiful as ever this week.
The art in Archie is still great, but I do agree it's a little strange that Archie calls him Jughead
.
Runaways still isn't quite what I would like it to be, but I'm glad the brand isn't dead.
I liked 1872 more this issue than I did the first one.

Any book that suggests adding ketchup to anything is only good for kindling.

Yoo MGS V is less than two weeks! The final Official MGS game. Destiny TTK is looking hype, Mario maker looks fun as hell, even COD beta is impressing me. And Battlefront? I don't even enjoy multiplayer games and that's a must have. I think we're coming up on an awesome end of the year for gaming.
P.S. Persona 5!!

Yea. I think we're finally getting our "next gen starts now" year. These usually show up a year after launch. This time it took an extra year.

Wait THIS is actually Doomsday now?!
I thought it was just a title called Doomed with a generic monster character.
They added the Eberron trade to the D&D bundle!
Can you tell me more about that bundle? I have almost 0 knowledge of that stuff. Good reads? Are they all stories or are any game book lore things included? Help me.
You like it?
That is amazing. You hate everything but like what people hate.
Stunning.

Were the previous ones particularly good? Think i've invested all of five minutes into Returns and never touched Dragonfall.

All stories, the newer books have some 4E and 5E content.
Well worth spending a buck for the main IDW D&D series (three trades, "Shadowplague", "First Encounters" and "Down") and the Legends of Baldur's Gate trade.
I paid the full $12 for the full collection because I am a crazy person, but I'm actually looking forward to digging into the Classics series. The Faerun series has Rags Morales on art, so it can't be all bad.
There's your problem. Returns had a lot of missteps that Dragonfall fixed. Some of the best turnbased strategy in years and a decent narrative to boot. Hong Kong looks to improve it even further which is damn hype.
Also HBS is going to Kickstart a Battletech tbs game which I expect all of you to support when it happens.

I actually loved the ice cream bit. I didn't really know anything about old Archie outside of the central love triangle and a lot of the names, so I don't know what's new and what's returning, but I love the idea that Archie is terrible at everything.

Dead Man's Switch (the first campaign) was pretty mediocre. Dragonfall, though... Dragonfall was probably the best CRPG to come out that year, and that was a really good year for CRPGs. Just top notch writing, encounter design, everything. Director's Cut makes it even better, elevates it to unstoppable tier.
