So guys, remember when we said that someday the whole Psylocke body-swap thing would blow up in Marvel's face?
Well....

oh god you found it
you found how to make me unexcited for anyone to address this
FUN FACT : you'd think it's a Claremont idea, but NOPE, actually it's Jim Lee who came up with it. I KNOW, RIGHT?

Same number of pages, but all printed in the same format.Eh, yeah
So oversized means its only bigger and has some additional pages?
Regular edition: main story (32 pages w/ ads, regular format) + backup (16 page insert w/o ads, mini format) for $5.99.
Collectors edition: same content as above plus ads, all printed in an "oversized" (read: full bleed) format, for $12.99.

He says he isn't going to address it right away...maybe Land will be off the book by then.
Something tells me it's all wishful thinking, though. Doesn't appear to be a comment cleared by an editor, just what Bunn would like to do, "someday."

Why such a big deal about Psylocke's "racial identity" anyway? "British woman in the body of an Asian woman" is kind of self explanatory, isn't it?
Why I Hate Saturn is literally one of the first books I put on my IST wishlist. And I still haven't gotten it. I need to get it.

But wasn't she an Asian woman in the body of a British woman?

Starfire was good. Not much else to say about it.
showed up, so that's cool for her fans, I guess? Don't really have any experience with the character. They're doing a pretty good job of keeping the threats well paced, though, each new one reliably crops up just before they're done with the last.
Green Arrow narrowly cleared the threshold of decent and is sticking around in my pull list, for now. Emiko is awesome, and frankly is vastly more interesting than Ollie.

Dungeons & Dragons Humble Bundle. Reviews tell me at least some of these are good.
Ooooof course it is. Lol.

about the level Psylocke deserves tbh
I thought it was just me, or my iPad. Seems like it takes 5 minutes to get 22 MB.
Even longer for me. I just closed the app and will wait until tomorrow. Every single week.

I can say this much at least-
The tier 1 comics, namely the ones by John Rogers
Are among the BEST comics I've ever read
Hilarious and well written
That's the entire run though, 3 volumes
Get at least the Tier 1 comics
That goes for all of you ComicGAFfers
Hell just get it for $0.01, but at least get it =3

What's your guys' usual download rate?
Yes, reviews are a thing that exist... lol
You know what, I respect you enough that I'll take your word for it. I'll put down a few bucks on the first tier. Thanks for the recommendation.
That's awful. Yo Amazon, wake up.
I'm not at home to run a test, but like, tens of megabits/sec. It should just take seconds. Everything else does.
So brazen.
I will respect my fellow comics-gaffer enough to buy the Humble bundle for a dollar, and i hope I am in turn respected when i complain about how terrible it is after i read it. Kidding of course, I bet i'll like it.

Hope you enjoy it mate, I'm not a DnD fan but that series is among my fav. of all time. Many great characters and wonderful humor
Same. Any other day it takes 10-15 seconds to download an issue. I am looking at a 15 min wait minimum per book on a Wednesday.

It wouldn't be as bad if they allowed background downloading, at least for me. It's weird cuz I figured demand wouldn't be as high for me, I'm not loading my books til like 9pm my time.

I only learned he worked on the 2000s Blue Beetle after reading his wiki entry, which explains why I liked that series so much XP.

Tizoc knows. I guess I'm buying these again. Already have the singles on CMX and the hardcovers.
I'm in for all the tiers, just because I'm such a D&D mark. Hopefully they add the Abraxis Wren stories and Eberron: Eye of the Wolf in the second week.

I wish they did HBs for comics weekly like games. I need to bulk up my digital library and I clear comics much faster than I do games...
TetraxShards

I buy all of them, and I'm not even close to catching up on all the stuff I've gotten.
There's also StoryBundle and Groupees sometimes for stuff. There's a lot of repeats though, and a LOT of Dynamite.
I would like this when they would start offer CMX codes.

They cycle between comics and books/themed books.

Hmm Zoro was good from what I remember but I sadly hadn't read the other series :/

I actually prefer the DRM-free way, personally. The CMX app crashes and hangs on me at least once every two weeks, and I have never used Guided View other than to show people I know that it is a thing that exists. For any book that offers it, I always take the DRM-free copy through the desktop site and run it through something like Perfect Viewer.
I only put up with Steam codes on HB because it's the best of a bad lot and there's no other ways to get the games a lot of the time. I kinda feel the same about CMX.
I really dug The Fires of Creation, but I'm a big mark for The Shadow and have read nearly all of his Dynamite series, which have varied WILDLY in quality TBH. That, Army of Darkness and Pathfinder are the Dynamite licenses I'll read anything from.

The Shadow is the one that jumps out at me, but I can pick that up on its own.

Dude, its by Kyle Baker. That's as big a seal of quality as it's possible to have nowadays.
