CBR looks like they used a myAOL website template from the mid-90's.

Well they killed off the blogs and columns a while back and don't really review comics anymore so the old layout is done lol.

How's Mark Waid's Black Widow? Thinking of getting the first arc with the CMX coupon
Given how much I enjoyed Velvet and most of Hawkeye, I imagine it's a no-brainer?

I haven't read that but this is my favorite Black Widow story.

I don't know why Marvel hasn't just taken that story and adapted it to a Black widow movie years ago

It's good yeah. First issue was amazing and Samnee's art with Wilson's coloring is gorgeous. One of the best looking comics each month.
Man even Newsarama, the IGN of comic sites, let their dead blog stay up for a while before deleting it forever

So are there any good comic sites left? Are we just going to let Marvel and DC review their own books?
I just ignore the content created by comic sites and look at the stuff companies gave them.
So for a while I've been meaning to ask on here about a good comic site. I've been less and less thrilled with CBR over the last few months and now... yeah. I thought about going back to Newsarama but it looked possibly worse. Any good alternatives to those out there? How's Comic Vine nowadays?

Snotgirl #2 was v good. Hung's art is so pretty and it's a really fun comic if you're into social media sites. Definitely feels more sincere about its approach to them compared to stuff like Batgirl.
yeah, I couldn't help but think about that Batgirl run while reading it. There's stuff that *sounds* right in the writing here that doesn't in the Burnside Batgirl stuff even though they're kinda working in the same milieu

On a related note, in out on Batgirl. Might check out trades later or a future sale, but this isn't for me. Albuquerque why?!?

It should have been Rachel Summers. STOP IGNORING THE GIRL, MARVEL!
DoX also takes place during present ANAD. IvX takes place after the CW2 mini and CW2 as a whole
I have not
Hmm, hope he's okay.
Steve's book is one of my most anticipated books if only because I have no idea what the fuck is gonna happen next.

Rachel came back in the latest issue of the X-Men Civil War 2 tie-in book.

It's amazing. Definitely one of the best books Marvel has out right now.

Just finished up Multiversity. That was pretty damn great, will have to do a couple of rereads to fully digest everything.
Pax Americana and Ultra Comics were exceptional!

I might as well complete Cameron's Batgirl run since it's only 3 volumes.
Why does it have good art?

Im in the process of getting Hickmans Fantastic Four/FF complete run, but im loving the Fantastic Four at the moment. Whats worth getting more, the Mark Waid run or Matt Fractions? IST has Fractions Omnibus for $55, or I can get Waid's run in separate Ultimate Collection trades.

Recently found out today that the Emma Frost mini series from the 90's (I think) was 18 issues and was in fact collected in trade that Marvel still has in stock.
Ordered that shit. No idea what to expect but I want it.

Man, I really gotta rewatch Buffy one of these days.
Also, Echo, Managed to top some friends into playing D&D with me. We're going to start with pre-made stuff from the starter kit to see if they're down to get more into it, but I'm already crazy excited.

I rewatched S5 not long ago to remind myself how godlike it was. Then I decided to start watching all of Angel from the beginning to remind myself about how it's just a better show.

I wanted to rewatch Buffy and Angel this summer but the kid was not into it. Freaked her the fuck out. Which is weird, she loved it years ago.
That's so RAD man! Crazy happy for you.
edit: Story time! In our game this past Sunday I trapped my players in a cage of fire with a swarm of armor-eating oozes. My best friend immediately leaps up and cries, "WHAT THE SHIT, ECHO??? WHAT THE FUCK" then one of my other friends says "Okay I'm going to check if that fire cage is an illusion."

Everybody congratulated him on seeing through the trap so quickly. "Oh yeah, if _____ called Echo out I knew there really was some bullshit going on..."

I remember seeing the character art for Angel before I started it and thinking that I was going to hate it but good god did Lorne win me over.

Lorne is amazing. All the characters are fantastic. Wesley Wyndam-Price and Cordelia Chase have the two greatest character arcs ever.

A new Youngblood book is announced.. CBR appears to purge all records and shit itself out in spectacular fashion. Coincidence? Someone didn't want to live in that world.

They realised there was going to be confusion between CBR Rebirth #1 and CBR #1 : Rebirth, so they're redesigning, again.
As someone that was initially down on Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, I'm enjoying the book now.
I'll wait for the Director's Cut.

It's a more complete website. It actually makes sense. 30 point font adds a lot to the experience.
And it's all done in monochrome.

Rhaknar and echoshifting have been decapitated. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask for your character sheets.
