Got my IST order today. Looks delicious. Want to dig into Sheriff of Babylon first.
I don't blame them.
I don't blame them.
To me Sex Criminals starts off good, but then falls off and I'm not confident it will actually finish.
Why? This seems like a shitty post.
Its never getting finished imo. They both seem so done with it and Zdarsky clearly doesn't want to do art anymore.

Why does he wear the mask!?
yep, the latest arc has been boring and the delays dont help
Apologies if this has been posted here already.

It's a common opinion I hear from numerous people on different comic threads. I'm guessing they don't like the effect she has had on him. It is shitty to say something like that especially when he has confessed to be suicidal before meeting Kelly.

Hell yes! That book was so good.
Messi would win. Messi has no limits and we haven't discovered what planet he comes from yet.

I don't think I've liked Fraction on anything besides FF and Sex Criminals. Aw man FF was cool.
Good because Marvel is complete shit.
You just mad Tana Ford is still the artist on Silk and Scarlet Witch is doing that artist changes every issue thing.
Hawkguy and Immortal Iron Fist, other than that...yeah pretty much.
No I don't care about the books contents. I don't read them . I am more interested in which megacorp outsells the other megacorp. Fuck yeah!

I like Fraction when he does down to earth street-level stories like Hawkeye. High fantasy Fraction, even Sex Criminals, is just not appealing to me.

No Man's Sky is laughably broken. Been a long time since I have played a game that was released in such a state. Four total meltdown crashes in a fucking hour of play? In a console game? Fucking pathetic. Thinking about trying to get my money back. Absolutely hair-pulling experience. Grrrr.
Anyway. Is it too late to wish ed a happy birthday? Well, screw it, happy birthday ed.
This is a really good question actually. I know he was in the last volume of Star-Lord but I don't think he's been seen at all in the latest volume of GotG. Not sure if he's in the latest volume of Star-Lord, nobody reads that book.
I fully endorse both of these books.

Are we arguing about big 2 sales or Matt Fraction? Can we just do the latter? The former is so fucking boring at this point. Every god damn week since Rebirth started, jesus fuck.

I blame LordofLore bringing up comic sales in here
nobody fucking cares if you prefer marvel or dc or neither
seriously, nobody. Just shut up about that shit. Read whatever you like. Or dont read anything. You're all dead in 60+ years, dont spend it doing Marvel vs DC (IN 2016)

Matt Fraction squandered Iron Man when the character was still coming off the repercussions of his acts against other heroes and gave us the mind reboot.

Next month's Deadly Class is so fucked up.
"Hey! Congratulations on killing your friends and fellow classmates! Now let's have our own fucked up version of a Homecoming Dance to celebrate!"
Every time someone praises rebirth or DC doing great in sales cats come in here with the same boring thing
"Rebirth is decent but here is why I think Marvel is better" eyeroll.
We get it guys you like marvel but let the DC cats enjoy there stuff too.
Comparisons are logical and make sense as long as we remember at the end of the day this is a community first and for most and not an off topic bait thread.
But yea like I said a day or two ago. Let's not have dcvmarvel talk for a week

I quite liked the mindwipe arc actually, it just went on for too long. They needed to do something drastic after all the horrible character assassination.
I'm mixed on Fraction. I think, with a couple notable exceptions, his Marvel work was stellar. And he has a unique, playful style in his plotting and dialogue that I have always found charming. But I have much more mixed feelings about his indy stuff. Casanova is great, of course, put him on the map. ODY-C I don't like at all. Sex Criminals had a magnificent, strong start and a strong premise but the energy on that book completely evaporated by the tenth issue.

Oh yea that was fun. I liked when they started hanging out. It felt right.

I agree about stopping the wars talk, but this has me rolling my eyes.
This is fair.
Its Grandharrier, its always been Grandharrier.
Aye man truth hurts >_<
Also sex criminals is amazing but the last arc got lazy.
But the book can easily hit that sweet spot when it does return.
Now you guys have me wanting to go read Stephanie Brown Batgirl again.
Whatever you say.

Sometimes I wonder if you have any self awareness at all. Do you know how easy it is to find TheFlow posts trolling Marvel since Rebirth started? Be the change you want to see in the world.
Trolling marvel? It is a company man not a actual person with feelings. Yah too attached to the big two. Sensitive cats out here :/
When someone criticizes a publisher you pull a lot from you are going to want to defend them but let's not get personal. Stop the bloodshed!

It's so inconsistent that it's bizarre. I had one crash to dashboard ON THE INITIAL LOAD SCREEN within the first day. Then the other day I had two crashes while the game was saving. But its been fine since. It definitely needed more development time, but I'm sure Sony wanted to kick it out the door. Hopefully the next patch will smooth things over and totally not erase my game.
As for the game itself, I hated it at first, but once I got a bunch of inventory slots and became rich, I started having fun. There's a decently fun game here, but the grind to get enough money / inventory slots goes on far longer than is fun, and I think that's a poor choice in game design. There's definitely still some monotony to it, but it'll get me through to next week when Mankind Divided comes out.
You should at least try it. You won't have to play Overwatch! I've been getting dogshit games lately. Last time I got tossed into a Hanamura (attack) match with 3 Genjis on my team. WHY!?

Oh I'm glad to hear you started to enjoy it Freeza. That's encouraging.
normal people don't do this
Publisher baiting brings nothing positive to this thread and recently it has turned quite toxic. The people doing it know what they are doing. We should be better than this shit.
Agreed, normal people don't but here we are..
Nothing wrong with praising or disagreeing with creator/publishers decisions. People just gotta learn to accept opinions and know when a debate is turning into a flame war and how to step away :/. Egos
Nothing wrong with lord posting monthly sales. I wanna know how many people are buying what I read and what could possible be canceled

Look at the NMS review thread. Publisher baiting is an extension of fandom culture and fandom culture tends to have people define themselves via the things they like, so they take the success or failure as personal validation or slight respectively.
#FuckYourFandom #FandomsAreJustDumbFans
And some straight up become disingenuous.
