Toy story 4? Why? It's done it's over. What story beat do they have left now?

I've watched Alice about 20 times due to my little cousin.
Anybody on this stuff, btw?

First two issues are a crossover with I, Vampire, one that is presumably finished in an I, Vampire trade. After that, it starts up a completely different story.

I cant
Vol 2 starts with a bunch of characters I have never seen.

Yeah, those are characters from I, Vampire. Those two issues are pretty irrelevant overall.
Well that's good because they were not good.
My man Janin wasn't even on it.

It gets better when Lemire comes on, right after the crossover.
Vol. 1 worth getting? I was looking at that last night.

And it was true then. TS3 was a lot of retread but the ending landed well with people and they let it go. But that had a pretty definitive ending to me and it's time to move on

It was the best JL book of the Nu52

Oh fuck no. I was about to start Justice League Dark tonight.
First Animal Man and Rotworld, then Rucka WW and Infinite Crisis. And now you tell me about this. I need to go flip some tables.
Yeah I really enjoyed it.
Art is splendid. By Wizard of art Mikel Janin who is currently on Grayson.

Forced tie-ins man ar we the best thing ever. I just love having my stories interrupted by them. I rather watch a character I love and another I have no idea about interact with mediocre characterization than have a good story.
Did I mention my name was Dan DiDio?

There are two forced tie-ins in JLD to my recollection. There's one at the start of vol. 2, the one we were talking about. There's also Trinity War, the crossover with JL and JLA, which can be avoided if you stop reading JLD after vol. 3.
Oh, right, there's also Forever Evil: Blight, but that coincides with Lemire's replacement, so idk.
Great. I bought all the volumes. Lol.

Noooooooooooo
Vol. 4 is by all accounts an absolute mess of a trade. It's 100% event tie-ins that don't make sense without reading the other tie-ins.

Shit, it should have occurred to one of us that read this that JLD is in fact a JL book and it's riddled with event shit. lol

I'll admit I can't possibly keep up with all the posts in this thread what with actually trying to READ COMICS, a crippling addiction to Marvel Future Fight, and other life stuff. On that note has anyone heard of the new series "Paper Girls"? http://www.previewsworld.com/Home/1/1/71/977?articleID=167438 It looks rad as hell. I totally get a Monster Squad vibe out of it! Some dude just posted a link in a FB group I'm part of and I went straight away to CMX but evidently it isn't out yet.
I've read several articles and, I'll concede I may be a big dumb poop head, but it seems the closest thing I can find regarding a release date is an "October solicitation" from Image Comics? Does this mean I have to wait until October to read this or is there some weird comic nerd terminology I'm missing out on here?
I wanna check this shit out.

Nope, that's how solicits work. Some people were talking about it before I got super into Vaughan (which was like week before last). I'm looking forward to it.
FANTASTIC
I'm gonna buy the deluxe hardcover

Argh. I've never read his stuff but the concept sounds amazing. I'll definitely keep an eye out!

I just got to the part where Bendis explains it. I didn't think his explanation was too bad. The problem is just that Bendis' GotG overall kind of kludges the previous continuity to be more MCU-like. Quill, Drax and Thanos are all alive again, Quill is a smirking, roguish slacker on his junky ship. Knowwhere suddenly is this skeevy, Mos Eisley place. Nobody remembers Quill being the hero of the bug war. In fact, he doesn't seem to be famous at all. The characters from the movie are the core cast, and the other Guardians aren't in it.
In fact, when Bendis finally does get around to explaining how Quill, Drax and Thanos are back (and Richie isn't), it's actually pretty refreshing just to read some acknowledgement of the DnA days.
I'll probably just do the same along with Quantum and Woody. I've got plenty to read till I get paid anyway.

Worth it. You'll love Mary-Maria.
He's pretty high profile because of Y The Last Man and more recently Saga. They're both worth a gander. He's got some other great work, as well.
I loved it. It's over the top and not a standard take on superheroes but it's entertaining.

It's irreverent in the worst way, but yeah, it feels different because of it. That American superhero guy in the first issue was a total douche-nozzle.
