The characters are most likely handled like Comicbook characters. And I think it was more LucasFilms idea. Because they need space for the new movies.

Oh! Power Man and White Tiger! Marvel's premiere power couple!
They sass people in Spanish.
It's beautiful.
They're MIA. Presumably we'll find out why during the new runs. We still don't even really know what's up with them right before SW though. Wherever it is Hickman wanted Cyke to be at the last minute, it's all in Uncanny X-Men #600.

Not much for me this week.
Art in Rat Queens 11 was eh, but I like the story they're going with despite being a simple one.
Old Man Logan #4 was nice, but the overall mini being a re-tread of the original series is disappointing IMO.
Godzilla in Hell #2
This one had dialog, bad move, really bad decision. The first issue had no dialog or text outside of SFX. Art is fanastic though
Hellboy in Hell #7
Now this is the best issue of the week, nice story and dialog and art is top notch.

I thought we determined that was someone else?
The dialogue was such a stupid move, but that art...damn...still a great read.
They're both pretty sweet, but clearly there is way more love in the Thor pop. Miles is just a variant, but I respect that there's only so much you can do with Spider Man and at least the coloring is super cool.

Is Fatale 1-24 worth $23?
On sale on CMX. Fade Out and Criminal too

I think so.
I don't have a Spider-man pop so Miles being a variant is okay, he has the best suit anyway. Thor even has a nice chromish paint for her helmet which i wasn't really expecting. Good stuff all round. Wonder if the next box will be All New All Different themed and we'll get one of the new character designs for a pop. Imagine December is going to be Star Wars.

Good pickups. East of West reads really well in bunches. I couldn't do it month-to-month
Is there a reason that Loughridge is not on Deadly Class #15. Boyd is on instead. Loughridge hadn't missed an issue before now. Not saying Boyds work is bad it's quite close to Loughridge. It's just curious.

Think it's because Loughridge is on Black Canary

Brubaker with one of his signature tag teams (Lark, Phillips, Epting) is magical stuff.
Hmm I was thinking I heard Loughridge had moved on, but I wasn't sure why. Shame, he's a tremendous colorist. The guy who came in after him on Gotham Central had big shoes to fill (though he did a great job).

Those bundles are okay in my experience. You sometimes get good stuff like random issues of X statix but most of the time you get 90s issues of crap

Now that they're on CMX, I'm high rolling 8) though I really didn't mind their website, other than the 3 downloads per file nonsense.
Yeah, I saw that. I've got mixed feelings, because I felt pretty good about this being a mini, but on the other hand it's so damn amazing that I think bringing this team together again in whatever circumstances is going to be an amazing thing. Plus, now that they've introduced those new elements in #4, there's this whole world they can build on. I hope they don't go too crazy with that, because I'm enjoying the scaled back aspect as it's told from the perspective of Duncan and Madison. It gives those
other entities a sense of mystery and actually makes them kind of scary.
Man, this has become my favorite current series, which is saying a lot considering the peaks of Timewalker. I'm beyond hyped for September 9.
Just watched a 45-minute Obama speech for the 10th Anniversary of Katrina. Dude brought the fire. Good stuff.
Gonna read some comics today I think.
Super hyped to read more Li'l Gotham.
Speaking of, have you read any of it yet, Launchpad?
No, I haven't. I sat down yesterday and wanted to read some srs comics, so I started Jenkins' Inhumans. I might hit it up this weekend.
Fair enough, let me know when you do read it!

I enjoyed the whole run on that book, so I say go for it.
Going to grab the first trade of Criminal and see what I think. Never read it, but have been curious.
I find that OHCs are usually the cheapest option, actually (assuming you're not double-dipping).
Wait.. What. Not in images case. Rat Queens HC is 40, two TPBs are 25.
Actually it would be cheaper or equal via IST. Disregard me.

Yes to this.
Loving this book as well,, This is pretty much my ideal book
"The crime noir thrills and characters reminiscent of True Detective meet with mythical stakes worthy of Neil Gaiman's Sandman in this original fantasy/horror/crime saga for mature readers "

The trades from IST would still end up cheaper. They just aren't nearly as nice.
Though it's slightly unfair to use Image as an example, since their first TPBs are always $10.
But even still, yeah, that's true.
I guess it's mostly just the case with Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse.
And thinking about it, in most cases it's probably equal in price to get the OHC over TPBs from those publishers. But for the same price you're getting hardcover and oversized and usually some bonus stuff, so it's better value.
