If you're waiting for Marvel, you might as well go full MU, and I couldn't do that.
I wait for sales for everything else, comics are the only thing where my FOMO is strong.
If MU was like a 3 month difference then I'd definitely wait. But 6 months is too long for some books.
Wow the Agent Carter writers and Kris Anka certainly has my interest piqued. Colour me surprised didn't think I would be buying a Carol book again. I didn't really care for Kelly Sue's run after the timey wimey stuff in the first arc.
Not sold on Anka at all
Not many peeps here did.

Disney cover is best cover.
Tell me how it is, I love Gerber's original Howard run.
I really like his work on Uncanny X-Force everything from the covers to character outfits he designed were fantastic. I wouldn't say no to him tweaking her costume a little :x
I worry about them catering to Carols vocal fan base.
No one else is buying the book so who else would they cater to?
This is Anka's new costume and look for Carol

Looks good. Captain Marvel is on my list.
Anka is getting one issue from me. If his art still doesn't appeal I am going to have to drop it.
I meant in the sense that they shouldn't be afraid to try a new direction that might attract new readers instead of getting bogged down by what sorta worked before.
I want them to try and take Carol in a wild new direction that isn't just putting her on the space. It'd be nice if she was actually as popular as Marvel pretends she is.
Yup I'll definitely be giving this a look.

It look almost exactly the same as the old one. I mean the new old one. Or the old new one.
I don't know how interested I will be in Captain Marvel without Kelly Sue writing her. I love that run so much.
Yup
Yup

Now that Kelly Sue is done writing her.
I think that was pretty obvious.

The film is a ways off yet.

As someone who has seen all her films, yes, yes she does.

Who likes Civil War a whole lot? Or at least enough to spend $500.
Oh man, my Essential Howard the Duck is like one of my most prized comic items. Legitimately one of the best comics ever made.

That looks more like Cassie Cage than Carol Danvers.
I don't like that he added all the lines to McKelvie's design, it makes it much less striking IMO.
Anka's stuff is usually very good though. Love a lot of his redesigns:
And of course, his Psylocke.

I usually like his designs ok, but I think it's a bit overdone compared to the McKelvie version. They probably wanted to change it, but not too much. I like his art though so i'll probably get this anywayNo one else is buying the book so who else would they cater to?

I bet they're aiming for the movie fans.
Of course they are. But that is a ludicrous price.

Well, you know how much some movie fans drop for a fucking Criterion these days.

Considering getting this at the GMG VIP price. I should probably wait though, given that it's a WB game and I've been burned by them twice this year. Plus, I've spent a lot on games lately, I should probably beat a few first.
GAF hype is making me want The Phantom Pain as well, even though I haven't played one since the first MGS.
It's no Armageddon and that's the worst Criterion film I could find

I don't need your Civil War/It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Not always. The fucking Zatoichi one was like $200+
25 movies for $125 ain't too bad though. At least they're fun lol

and that's including tax and the gas to drive to your local B&N
there's also like 25 movies in there, making it less than $10 a movie. plus, constant 50% sales, plus are also probably better than event tie-ins
Worth every penny and that's coming from someone who spends Aniplex money on blu rays

I like how it drops the same day as the movie on BD.
Did you ever get that Fury Road artbook that DC put out? I'm still decided whether I want to buy it digital or print. Digital would eliminate the portion lost to the crease.
oh god. Aniplex doesn't fuck around. There are a few series I would have easily bought if they weren't so insanely pricey.

I can't stop buying stuff. Newest purchase......

Wicked + Divine 12 and 13
Spire 1-2
Deadly Class 1-6

Mad Max also drops the same day as Phantom Pain which puts it to the bottom pile for me considering I'll be playing that till The Taken King comes out
They don't want that reverse importation shieet. A UK publisher has decided to sell Gundam The Origin here for fucking £75 lololol I bought the first episode in Tokyo for like £30 and have the second pre ordered on Amazon.jp for the same.
