I get that, but I liked the focus on Peter's social life, the new characters, and mysteries. It was also the only book I read back then besides Ultimate Spider-Man so triple shipping was cool with me lol.

I missed that kind of Peter Parker stuff until we got Kamala. She's the "everyman" I want in 2016.
Agreed. She is perfect for that role. Before her Invincible was good for that. New Super-man seems like it might be as well although it's a bit too early to tell.
Wonder what happened to Messi.

Brother Messi has been #BROKEN between the Thread of Official Comics on the Neological Gaming Age Forums, the delays of Warfare Most Civil the Second at Marvellous Comics and the sweeping changes of Renewal of Birth at Comics Detection.

I thought BND was a breath of fresh air for ASM cuz it was aint shit for YEARS before that
like basically since Romita Jr left it was event tie-ins and really decompressed stuff. So 3-issue "fun" spider-man stories with the sub-plots, goblin mysteries, new art styles, new romantic interests, supporting characters, rogues...that was the hotness.
plus Mr. Negative and his bad guys are dope

I thought this was some new branch of BDSM for a second, there.
If we could support book clubs it would've made a good candidate with one arc a week.

Man, I love Marvel NOW oversized hardcovers. They're built exactly the same as their omnis (unlike their older ones which had glued bindings while the omnis had sewn), they're MOSTLY affordable, and they're the perfect size to be able to read them anywhere, at around 250-400 pages in general.
Got a pretty nice collection of them now. I still need to get: Daredevil Vol. 4 and 5, Superior Spider-Man Vol. 1 and 2, Amazing Spider-man Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and All-New X-Men Vol. 4 (just got Vol. 3 today).
I mean, I spent money on Battle of the Atom, but only the TPB. Why would you ever spend money on the OHC?
ONLY because it was $5.
Smith said that he wants the two to have a team up.

He buys that, yet I don't see the Ms. Marvel OHCs anywhere. Do you?
Well the omnibus is coming out soon lol.

OHCs are easier to handle. 9 out of 10 Messi's agree.

He NEEDS to be on Champions. I mean, he might join at some point. Same with Nadia. Hell, Uncanny Avengers had Spider-Man on the cover and he bailed within like, five pages.
Sunnuvabitch spent less money than I did!
The crimes committed in this world are numerous. That is but one.
When I picked up volume 2 of the Secret Six the employee (and an acquaintance of mine, we usually talk action figures) learned that I'm new to comics, he talked me into trying Batman: The Court of Owls. I know I said earlier that I'm not big on Batman. I bit on his recommendation.
I really liked it.
I'm something of a grecophile so the ancient Greek (and Roman) references were up my alley.

Batman's time in the labyrinth was definitely the highlight. The owls acting as both the minotaur and Daedalus wasn't exactly breaking new ground, but Batman's own metamorphosis acting as an internal minotaur was quite interesting. My typical issue with Batman was always that he seemed one note, overly brutal, and too perfect in the films. Seeing his emotional turmoil in the labyrinth was for that reason very interesting and engaging for me. It's a side of him I haven't seen before. I'm probably going to keep with it. Honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It also gave me A Woman Called Mine Fujiko vibes, if anyone has watched that.

Finally decided to finish Starlin's Infinity trilogy (Revelation, Relativity, Finale). Good lord. I think I've had my fill of cosmic Marvel for a bit and a piece. Although, where in the timeline that this takes place is of slight concern

X-Men Second Coming...
LAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!
On another note: shit this is brutal. Two deaths and a loss of limb already. And within 4 issues.

Still plodding through Bruce Wayne Murderer? it's really weird seeing everyone be so distrustful of Bruce to the point where they doubt his innocence. I felt bad for Dick because he didn't really get why Babs and Tim were acting that way or maybe he did but he thought they would have a little more faith in him at least. I prefer happy bat families to whatever is going on round this time period. I need some context for Bruce telling Steph about Tim being Robin because that left me scratching my head.

A shame.
I really like his video games writing. I first looked up his comics because of his work at Rock Paper Shotgun.

WIP of a mystery character from Murphy's Elseworld Batman book coming next year:
Please may you stop using my username. Don't know what your problem. Buts let's not start so early in the morning
Lot of stuff out tomorrow, going to give Supergirl a try I think. Freeza is probably the only person who reads the Alien/Predator Dark Horse stuff but the third issue of Defiance is finally out.
It was a little joke my man, as you like to say "don't get triggered lol"

Sophia is a master tactician and is willing to work every angle to survive in Baghdad. This is honestly my favorite book right now.
9 am here mate

I don't think that's true lol
You are the Garma to my Char, I'm not hating but I may mislead you into getting killed by Amuro and the White Base. I need to start my The Origin volumes at some point..
That's cool I wish the sets were cheaper so I could get into Dimensions but they don't seem worth the price as it is. These toy to life games are such a black hole.
The fact that you made a gundam reference makes me forget everything you done.
Garma was innocent in all the madness
