Through the Woods?

Yup, it was a great series, mainly because it was by Paul Cornell who also wrote Captain Britain and MI13.
He also wrote an interesting Lex Luthor story for DC, one which he actually managed to finish and wrap up properly!

Bought Remender's Uncanny X-Force volume 2, Cyclops volume 2, Uncanny X-men (Bendis) volume 1 for trades this week. Had to leave Constantine volume 4 and Morrison's New X-Men Volume 1 behind. Budgetary reasons. For weeklies I got Black Canary #3, Silk #6, Ivar, Timewalker #8, Burning Fields #7, Justice League Gods and Monsters #2 and the final part of the Mega Man/Sonic the Hedgehog When Worlds Collide. Mostly because Mega Man has been on my pull list, so I'm only getting bits and pieces of the event and I don't care about the actual event. Back to business as usual soon, though.
Haven't read any of them, but I plan to after I go to bed and get some sleep.

I can't get the first volume. I own the other 2.

That's not an excuse...but there ya go.
Also I am reminded of this comic series which I didn't care for the first time, but it was drawn by Samnee

Costs almost double to ship to Ireland. Also my two other volumes are hardcover

You kids have the silliest excuses.
Hardcovers.
Dang things take more space than they have any right for.
Aww. Sorry to hear that my recommendation let you down.
I will say that I think the first volume is the most vulgar/violent/whatever. It's not like there's a drastic change after that or anything, but I do think that it tones down just enough after the first volume.
If you finish the first volume and you're still not feeling it though, I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying another volume. I do hope you end up enjoying it though! Underneath the vulgarity and violence, there's such an amazing character-driven story.
I still need to read Hitman... I've got all the trades sitting on my shelf and Ennis is one of my top 3 favorite writers and I still haven't read it. Gotta do that soon. Maybe after The Invisibles.
Also, agree to disagree regarding Preacher. I'm a massive fan of the comic and I only just read it for the first time a couple years ago.

I haven't even gotten to those bits you mentioned, so I couldn't say. I'll look forward to them, though.
It's been growing on me since I said that. I'm not quite done with the first volume, but I am digging the scope and style a bit more. I haven't even gotten to the parts Coriolanus mentioned above, so perhaps I should keep on and see. I am also digging the dialogue a lot; there are some really great exchanges.
Perhaps....
NXT was okay, Summer Slam tonight i presume will be worse. Echo won a game in hearthstone and got me a pack reward for it, i got a golden......common.
A common! Comics-gaf's value is questionable.
How could you not care for it? It was a great all-ages comic. Just a shame it seemed to be cut short before its time.

I like the Larraz art quite a bit, but that coloring is weird. Like the colorist cant decide which way the light is coming. Like, why is the left side of archangels face dark when Psylock's blade is glowing right next to it?
Finally, this cover will be in my hands. The way it was meant to be held. As a floppy.
Ito's Uzumaki? I think Japan probably has a better variety of horror titles than the US.
Mostly I want to know about the mouths. Why do they change size so much. Just bad.
I've only seen some of his cover work which looked good so I guess that must have been it? Or he's wildly wildly inconsistent

Future Imperfect 4 does show how Maestro can be a charismatic asshat.
From the overall structure of the faces, especially the eyes, seems like he was going for some westernized moe deal.

The Mighty Thor #341 - #345: Continues to be amazing. I can't get over the sound effects and how they are integrated into the art at times. The fonts used are so good and blend perfectly with the art and story. The Eilif story could have come straight out of the Sagas.
The story telling is just so dense and so much stuff continues to happen in the background. That guy making the sword is really ominous.

Is that Surtur whom Loki borrows the sword from and later deceives in Gillen's Journey Into Mystery?

You just need to up your statue painting skills.
Gameproff likes to French kiss his parents on the lips.
Not sure about this. NeoGAF is a community where a lot of geekier persons come together and geeks or nerds are often more special when it comes social topics. I am not even excluding myself from this.
NeoGAF Acts like Parents who kiss their kinds on the mouth are childmolesters
I care about you enough to let you know that you're on the fast track to ban town if you go back in there and say something similar. Just let it go and dont post in the OT
No, I wont. I will abond this thread anyway because it gets to stupid for me, but I jcalled one user out, because he acted like people kiss their kids would be like child molesters and literaly said this, but I will let it go. Its senseless anyway.

I long ago came to the conclusion that most people are weird and have weird hangups. Just the reality of the world.

As the dutch say, doe maar gewoon dan doe je al gek genoeg.
just act normal, that's crazy enough.
It's not worth it man. Just step away. We don't want you getting banned.
Bucky Winter Soldier #10- I only bought this because it had Kot's name on it, I should have dropped it after the second or so issue but this one was my final pre-ordered issue. I don't like the swirly page layouts or the story.
Invincible and Walking Dead new issues were their typical enjoyable selves, Invincible is a bit sluggish right now.

One of here weaker art, big whoop, her art style's great though, case in point-
It didn't catch my interest when I first read it :/
Oh okay, cool.
But yeah, the dialogue just continues to get better and better as the characters and their relationships grow. It's definitely what makes the series great.

So are most things not in Ultimate Marvel Universe considered to be part of the 616?

Pretty much. There are some AU stories but it's mostly 616.

Thank you, where could I find a nice list of what's AU? It'd be nice to break up this 616 run with something fresh without breaking into Ultimate stuff.
