I'll fight you.
I don't hate Sam, but he has yet to impress me as a character. Richard was pretty enjoyable during Annihilation, I'm probably gonna continue with his solo series soon.

Also this lol
I'd rather they continued on with that family from Infinity Gauntlet to be honest. Sam is boring, his book is boring.

I like Sam 
He's had a couple of great arcs, especially the one with Beta Ray Bill.
I do wish it was Sam and Rich going forward though, Sam's dad is boring

How is Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E?
[Just noticed it is written by Lemire. He seems to have written a lot of new 52 stuff.]

I like Sam because even if he's not the smartest guy he's always trying to do the right thing and that typically leads to some good hero moments in his ongoing.
I disagree.

Sam's dad hasn't exactly appeared much so I'm interested in seeing what the writer does with him.

Well put. This is why I like him.
I wish Bendis wasn't writing the new Miles ongoing it would've been nice for someone else to take a stab at him. Glad Sarah Pichelli is back though, hopefully the book is interesting enough.
That's good it's not like you are the only person, people are buying his book after all.

Totally, he's great.
But back to Craig Thompson...
I'm really concerned here.
Would've liked to see Bendis writing Parker, myself.
Bendis is probably trying to make sure Slott never catches him in terms of Spidey issues put out lol.

The Blankets guy? Yeah, he's rad. That's the only work of his I've read though.
Wasn't that in the erotica best sellers?
Yeah him or Waid but alas Slotts reign of terror will continue in 2016.
Bendis is writing what like 4 anad books and still takes time to fend off the Slott machine.

I'm not caught up on ANXM, but during the Trial, people made a huge deal out of her new power, because apparently that hasn't ever been a thing until now. So, even if Jean is weaker at the moment, she's catching up fast and her powers are still overwhelming.
I also haven't read Black Vortex, which seems to be an event where people just get new powers for reasons.
"Meaty" is not how I'd describe an Arby's sandwich

Vol.3 is Amazon's #1 best seller in erotica graphic novels right now, but that doesn't seem like a difficult feat.

Yeah that's what I meant. He was #1 and #2 at the same time for Vol 1 & 2
How many packs.....

a few packs but mostly mercilessly demolishing leggies from the first two sets I never used.

It was on the graphic novel or whatever list for NYT best sellers that one week. When Vol 2 came out, I think. It and the Rat Queens trade of the time.
i only have two i could dust, Cairne and Trogg, but are somewhat useful and i don't have the heart to dust them.

yeah i ad a bunch of scrubs but of course i'm trying to pretend i never had them in the first place so i don't feel bad about it
Yeah, I meant to say discounting that, since it's basically an (ugh) X-factor.

Her new power set?
Yeah. I'm sure they'll elaborate on that as a secondary mutation for her and the reason she avoids old Jeans fate.

Like, the thing that bothers me about the whole "LOOK WHAT YOU'LL DO IN THE FUTURE!" thing is that, as far as anyone is concerned at this point, the O5 are stuck in the present permanently. So, it's not a set in stone thing, since those events happened BEFORE O5 Jean came to the present. That means that they happened in the past, which means that Jean is not guaranteed to do those things since they already happened, and nobody knows where the Phoenix is after AvX.
Jean literally avoided her fate by coming to the future, since she no longer has her fate ahead of her and the Phoenix just fucked off into oblivion as far as anyone's concerned.

I finally finished Blankets the other day.. thought it was a perfectly awesomely great taste of life book.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Also I read Old Man Logan #3 and Velvet #11 at work today.
Old Man Logan is pretty good so far,, cant get enough of Sorenntino
Velvet it fucking amazing. This issue was so damn good, start of a new story arc.. the whole issue and setup to that last page just has me dying for me. So good

Does Reed Richards ever stop being a huge arsehole?
Well the point of that arc was that Guardian just couldn't accept that, obvious as it was.
Because Rich Johnston needs his click-throughs to get paid. And nothing else.

Gillad's doing nothing to change his "immortal idiot" cred, tho.
Not really.

Asking him to change that would be like asking him to build proper shielding.

It seems like some people are still on about that though. That's a thing that keeps popping up, for some reason.
A day later, looking back on it, DC's real problem is actually really simple : Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman fucking suck shit now. The rest is rebuilding trust, finding its audience, but they really need to shitcan everyone involved with these three books because those are your big tentpoles characters and they all suck shit right now.
Why do you curse so much?
