Dan Didio and the rest of the DC brass can go fuck themselves. Brah thinks he is Christian the Lion, but nobody is going to care when he is gone or momentarily draw attention to a social injustice.

Dope as fuck.
What are some good DC books GAF? I definitely read a lot more Marvel at the moment. For DC I only read Batman, Grayson, Justice League, and Omega Men. Are there any current ongoings worth looking into? Earth 2 looks interesting but I know nothing about it. What about any essential pre Nu52 runs? Outside of Batman I'm not really familiar with the older DC books.
Marvel Zombies continues impress. Even though I think this issue is actually the weakest of the series so far it's still undeniably a lot of fun with a bit of darker tones sprinkled in there with the flashbacks.
Woops think I just spoiled myself lol. Awesome art though.She lives on in our hearts Messi.
OML has one more book to go no? Unless you meant the ending to that particular issue. In which case I'm an idiot lol but yeah that whole sequence is great.

Wish I was seeing more love for Hank Johnson Agent of Hydra. It was exactly what I hoped it would be.
Where Monsters Dwell was still pretty awesome. I'm always surprised when a book doesn't contrive reasons to have smoke covering up nudity. It's just a fictional cartoon man's butt, it's not going to hurt anyone.

I dunno, that fastball special seems to have placed him in the
616/1610 fightzone, so he is where he'd need to be for whatever fuckery Bendis wants to pull with Ultimate End, thus i assumed that it was, in fact, the last ish.
Ah I see what you mean. I just though that since it said "To be concluded" that there would be one more issue. But I suppose that could happen in
Ultimate End? I hope not because I've heard nothing but negativity regarding that book.

Have you read All-Star Superman? It's a great book that I think most people can enjoy. If you enjoy the current Batman series then I'd also say to check out Batman: The Black Mirror which is also written by Snyder and has Dick as Batman instead of Bruce.
For ongoings, maybe try out Gotham Academy. It's a really good all-ages sort of story so far with some great art. It's probably my favorite one besides Grayson and Starfire.
Read those, loved em! Black Mirror might be my favorite Batman story.
I'll look into GA thanks for suggesting!
Side note: E is for Extinction #3. What did I just read? Shit is Bananas
Edit: Grayson #11. Love this series so much. The fight, the dialogue, the paneling is all fantastic. The twist wasn't all that special but I'm very intrigued with where they are going with the story.

For the most part Dredd can be read out of sequence, bearing in mind that he is a character that is slowly aging. Those books are mostly anthologies by the look of it so nothing really needs to be read in order. If you like those though, you would be probably be best served picking up some of the collected editions onwards. This is a reasonably good list of what to pick up, although it misses off some personal favourites such as the American Graffiti/Chopper/Oz stuff : http://io9.com/5944097/top-11-essential-judge-dredd-stories

I gotta read this.
New 52 onwards
Batman and Robin by Peter Tomasi (final collection isn't out yet)
Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello (Vol 1-6)
Green Arrow by Jeff Lemire (Vol 4-6)
Aquaman by Geoff Johns (Vol 1-4 though the couple volumes after have been good too)
Batwoman by J H Williams (Vol 1-4)
Gotham Academy is cool
Gotham by Midnight is good and creepy
Black Canary is cool
Batgirl is solid enough (the Batgirl of Burnside collection corrected some egregious mistakes about a certain character)
Classic DC
Green Arrow: Longbow Hunters
Robin/Batgirl: Year One
Injustice is cool if you wanna see the DC Universe tear itself apart
Superman: Red Son
Green Lantern: Rebirth
Black Canary/Zatanna: Bloodspell
Lex Luthor: Man of Steel

Badass... But I hate to tell you, there's no way this is Francavilla......

Squirrel Girl is fun and for all ages. What about Lil Gotham? I've heard good things about that.
My copy of Phantom Pain came today so I'm throwing all my comic reading plans for this weekend out the window. See you folks on the other side.

SimplyGames. First time I've ever used them.
Only problem is I'm halfway through Alien Isolation and I kinda want to finish it first. Almost wish it had come later so I wouldn't be tempted.
Wow that is incredible

I got mine from SimplyGames as well. Online retailers are no joke in the UK they don't care about something as silly as a "street date"

All you need to know is that it's secretly Japanese Anime in video game form. And n
anites
If thats the case I will abond this thread until I can play it.
That's why I read half the books that I do.
All you are going to hear from me about the game is a standard "this is fucking cool" there will be no blacks bars or story talk. Especially seeing how the game isn't even out till next week.

I'm not even starting it yet so you won't hear anything from me. Nothing. Not one bit.
M8, this is a comics thread. We talk about comics not games. Have some respect.
Which comics so you find funny? I'm particular to Chris D'Elia.
I only find one comic funny. Real talk. Dave Chappelle. The rest do nothing for me.
Lol not even close.

Bii, you should also lurk/ask questions in this thread. Some very knowledgeable posters and good advice.

I've been reading a lot of New 52 recently in collected form. These would be my recommendations.
Completed runs
---------------
Wonder Woman (Azarello/Chiang)
Demon Knights
Animal Man (Lemire)
Ongoing
-----------
Gotham Academy
Batman & Robin
Skottie Young's Oz is pretty decent.
How about Bark's Donald Duck collections?
There is a lot of good, but since DC sucks ass at marketing you wouldn't know, so, in no particular order:
-Martian Manhunter is basically a super weird sci-fi conspiracy thriller with great bits of horror packed in. It's totally great and I don't know what happens next, it rules.
-Gotham By Midnight is a horror take on Gotham Central with Jim Corrigan, a.k.a. The Spectre, in the lead. It's about a bunch of super messed-up people, fighting super messed-up magic things that are sometimes monsters and sometimes not.
-Black Canary is just a super fun book about rock'n'roll and kicking people, and that's what I'm all about.
-Midnighter is a book about a young gay man living in the big city, trying to juggle looking for love and being a living weapon with a computer in the brain that makes him super good at breaking people with his bare hands.
-Constantine: The Hellblazer is basically Hawkeye but with wizards. It's a man who cannot stop fucking up and getting out by the skin of his teeth, except the teeth are super gross demons. Great fun. Super stylish.
Other than that, you can't go wrong with both Pak-penned Superman books (Batman/Superman and Action Comics), Parker and Foreman on JLU is super fun, and I'm forgetting some.
I was kidding I've seen her Comedy Central show, it's not very good. Jim Jefferies is a comedian I like.

You know, it's kinda funny. I don't consider myself an MGS fan, but I've at least played every game in the series and beaten several.
Revengeance is definitely my favorite.
Revengeance is one of the best character action games I've ever played, probably the best. I'm glad we could get a game like that in the franchise.
Sons of Liberty is probably my favorite. Snake Eater is a better game but I don't have the same attachment with it as I do MGS2.
