Immonem is an unknown monster art-wise. Just watch the pages in Nextwave where he apes various styles PERFECTLY. Shame he isn't getting more work.

Unknown monster? Immonem did various work since Nextwave, although I can't remember many of them at the moment :X

What crossovers are you talking about?

I've nearly made it through 500 issues of Marvel's 616 universe (starting from FF #1) in a suggested reading order. There's so much filler, but it's been interesting to read. My only real complaint is that nearly everything revolves around a Love Triangle or fury over a woman. I guess that's just a sign of the times (along with Sue Storm not being allowed out of the kitchen).
I'm enjoying The Hulk the most, probably due to it having less words crammed into each frame and I can relate to the Hulk just wanting to chill. All he wants to do is sleep, but people won't leave him alone. Poor guy.
After that Hercules' arrival was like a shot of sugar in the veins, and it really showed Thor up as the arrogant arsehole I've always thought he was. Herc is loving life as a God!
Spiderman has been pretty strong at times, but there's been a bit of a lull in his stories in the reading order as it catches up with Namor, Thor and AntGiantGoliathMan.

naah, most of this is all just dumb whinging on my part, both the omni and the paperbacks are dope and fine ways to read the stuff
All of them. The only bad one Ive read was the Daredevil/Batman one with Mr. Hyde and Two-Face

No he just signed an exclusive deal with Top Cow. They are a partner of Image comics. Just not the one that puts out Rat Queens.

Oh very cool, looking forward to seeing him on a book again.
I know it may be controversial or whatever,, but besides personal bullshit.. I was a big fan of his, and meeting him at C2E2 he was a humble down to earth guy.

This reminds me I have #1 sitting at my LCS
I feel bad I haven't been there in like 3 weeks,, I get most of my books through DCBS.
Stokoe isn't involved in the book anymore. He only did #1
The only exciting thing is that Bob Eggleton is doing the next issue on Wednesday.

Justice League Dark #1-#6: Not feeling this at all. Jumps all over the place and the book doesn't give me enough time to care about any of the characters.
I thought it was really good for about 25 issues and then pretty ok for the rest of volume 1. Drops in quality after that. I would say the first omnibus is definitely worth it if you've never read it.
Track down Maze Agency. Some early work of his, but great nonetheless. Fits the book perfectly.

It's a good to great book but just wait for the hardcover coming out soon. It collects all 3 volumes.

Shit i just ordered the first 2 on amazon... maybe i can still cancel out though?
So the series is DONE for already? or just the FIRST 3 volumes and then it keeps going?
Also: Will this hardcover edition come out in the EU as well?
Yeah you can still cancel. It's not done but the hardcover of the first 3 is out in November. So it will look really nice.
It's on amazon UK. Search black science hardcover. It's out December 10th there. Earlier in comic shops.

Yeah i just checked... says they will try their best to cancel lol...
Not sure if it is the better deal costwise but that HC will look a lot classier indeed

They usually cancel it if the shipping hasn't gone too far.
Image hardcovers are the best.
Not a single lie detected.

Immonen and Star Wars are a match made in Cloud City.
Personally love the image ones more. They are also way more frequent. The turtles one is nice.

I'm just saying quality wise. Frequency and pricewise, definitely Image.
The Turtles one is possibly my favorite OHc

Immonen is Art Architect tier. They gave him a Event Book. He's in the echelon. He will never want for work again.
My bro!
Hmm that's disappointing but whatever I still haven't read Half Century War yet. need to get that hardcover.
Tales of the Borderlands is super fun btw haven't finished episode 1 yet but it's already leagues better than everything else Telltale shits out.

Read a bunch of stuff last night:
Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #4 - This is DARK for a Slott book. Some crazy stuff happening here. This is definitely the most pleasant surprise of the whole event, Dan has been on good form for this arc. Maybe there's hope for him after all.
Archie #2 - Another fantastic issue. Waid's Archie is just so likable. The art of his day on the job with the others helping him avoid disaster was great, really lovely stuff. Loved the Jughead mini-origin ("It cost a THOUSAND DOLLARS!"). Also, #TeamVeronica, then, now, forever.
Captain Britain & The Mighty Defenders #2 - I'd forgotten how much ass Faiza Hussain kicks. Makes me want to go back to Captain Britain & MI-13 again, what a series that was.
Doctor Who: Four Doctors #2 - Gabby's storybook intro was priceless. I think she's becoming my favourite non-TV companion. Hoping Eleven gets more to do later, this was mostly a Ten and Twelve issue. Ten being worried that Twelve is related to
was an excellent touch and one I would never have thought of.
Rat Queens #11 - This was mainly a set-up issue, but it's just nice to see the Queens again after another lot of delays. The whole "We're friends FOREVER!" feels super omnious given the solits for the next few issues. Also, that hardcover will be mine, oh yes.
Secret Wars: Secret Love: The Fiffe story was good with wonderful art. I need Copra in my life for more of that art. LOVED the Misty/Iron Fist and Kamala/Ghost Rider stories
. The Thor/Squirrel Girl story gave me a laugh or two, I think I need to check out Unbeatable.
Star Wars #7 - Haven't been reading it monthly, but a stand-alone Obi-Wan story sounded good. I hope these are going to be a thing between arcs, because I'll definitely read more. Aaron really captured the character, I could definitely hear a bit of McGregor in the narration.

the Valeyard, because the Twelfth Doctor shouldn't exist

Bagley's art was my least fav. thing about Ultimate Spiderman, I mean his style is fine, but it wasn't for me. He does deserve credit for doing 100+ issues of Ultimate Spiderman though.

Yeah, they will keep doing the Obi-Wan one-shots between arcs I believe.

I'd recommend something from Valiant, but they're all in the middle of arcs. Then again, so are JL and Robin. You've been following those?
Absolutely
Explain this to me using power levels.

Yeah, I've read the first two issues of Robin, and the first two issues of "The Darkseid War."
I think Robin is pretty good, not great, but I'm enjoying it. I'm liking JL quite a bit though.
Immonen is Freeza, Bagley is Tyrant

Actually, I take that back. X-O Manowar #39 is a great jumping on point for that series. Fantastic art and a gripping story. It certainly builds on past events, but the synopsis at the front covers what you need to know.

I really want to thank everyone for all the help. Sometimes just approaching comics later in life can be pretty daunting because there's just so much history. I appreciate all these suggestions.
