All-New All-Different Avengers Annual #1
Quite possibly one of the most adorable things I've ever read. Reminded me of Secret Love. Was that
Black Panther #5
Ballin'. Finally seeing how Wakanda plays on the world's court. One thing that bugs me:

Sinestro in the She-Hulk story?

How the fuck does Genosha have any governmental body whatsoever?

Bah, that sucks. I was really enjoying it given how drastically different it is from anything else Marvel or DC are putting out.
Like the opposite of Sam Wilson, with super violent methodology.
Daredevil #1-3 - hmmm. Not sure how I feel about this. Its not particularly good, but its also not the unreadable garbage fire some people around here described it as lol. I like the art (or the colorist im not sure, I like the look at least), and im actually kinda interested in the story as if issue 3 with tenfingers going to Matt for legal aid claiming he's not a villain, I would like it if it actually went in a "we are actually just forming a creepy church here, we dont want to conquer the world" direction (but im sure it wont and hes just another villain as usual), but having said that, the whole thing feels... heartless? Its very self serious and is what I imagine someone in a meeting said a "book for people that watch that netflix show". Its not terrible, but it pales in comparison to the previous run, and lets just say its not something I would read of it wasnt on MU.
BK, did you finish Kingdom Come? What did you think?
I haven't been reading Daredevil, but from what I've heard it gets better.
Hmm... I mean, one one hand how can it not, on the other, I dont see much in the whole premise of the book for improvement, hopefully youre right tho, Ill still read it.
Also I forgot to say but I dont give 2 shits about Blindspot. Should have been Gambit, at least that would have been out of left field.
Slay, we know your bias.
Reality has a bias toward Slayvenocity

My MU app has been buggier than shit all weekend. Most of the books crash the app any time I try to zoom in.
This isn't true and I would imagine that where the book opens is important as well.
I just looked and Carol only out sales it by 7k-10k in any given month.
That's a big difference for books at that level and you have to take into consideration that Nighthawk was putting up low sales from the beginning. I'm sure a lot of the Carol fans read digital as well given the fan base.
Carol's sales been that low since jump, if it was any other book it would be canceled is the point i am trying to make

Slayven when did you first know you hated non-asian women
Books around Carol's number tend to get like 12 issues at least.
I am the only Silhouette and white lotus fanboy on earth
I feel like Black Panther lost a bet with Sam. Sam got D-Man and BP got Carol.
Sam stay winning

Started reading Volume 2 of Teen Titans Earth One. Good so far. Feels weird to read comics after so much Deus Ex.
I'm not biased like Slay but she really isn't any different no matter what book she's in. She really needs someone to just write the shit out of her character but nobody has succeeded so far. Maybe with the movie she'll get something substantial the comics can steal.
She give her to Chuck Austen
I've said this before, but she needs someone to be the PAD to her Supergirl.

Oops, just noticed that I got an invitation from Owsers to play Overwatch quite a while ago. That's my bad.
I also submitted a request to join to the ComicsGaf community, if someone still checks that.

Fantastic. I absolutely loved it. Two major things: Alex Ross does a fantastic job of portraying even the most street level hero as a god, and I love that the story not only deals with the political implications of a rising metahuman population. Not only that, but the main thing I love is that it deals with what happens when heroes are so focused on fighting villains that they forget why they bothered to be heroes. It's just gang wars. This whole thing is embodied with Billy, who is a complete tool. He forgets how to actually be human and think for himself, becoming nothing except for a superpowered weapon to be used. Pretty much telling everypne who thinks the Punisher is a superhero to go fuck themselves.
Fantastic story. Can't get over it. One of my favorite books.
Comixology is having an X-Men sale with the recent Storm, Magneto, and the all female X-Men series on sale.
I read a few issues of Spidey via MU and now I need to pick up the first trade as well as start reading the book monthly. The quips are meh, but I like everything else about the book, and Thompson makes strong use of monologues to capture the essence of Peter Parker. While I enjoy Slott's current volume for the most part, I feel like this scratches itches that one doesn't with things like Peter's social life.

Yay!
Invincible Iron Man #6 - thankfully, unlike Amazing Spidey, this one continues to be great. Part one of War Machines sees Rhodey go to Japan to track down Madam Masque while Tony is busy in the states boning his new girlfriend and being stalked by Doom. I cant get enough of this Ddom / Tony banter, I really cant. I wonder if Tony is going to be in the Iron Doom book, like in a "ok you wanted to be a good guy, prove it" mentor capacity? Or is Tony dying in CW2 and thats why all the Iron Men after arent him?
Weirdworld #2-3 - what a strange and wonderful book. Del Mundo continues to work his wonderful magic, and I like what Humphrie is doing with the odd pair (even if its still weird that the guy from the SW series is nowhere to be found). Morgan Le Fay seems to have a less than villanous reason for her dealings this time around too. Will miss this one, hopefully it at least got a satisfying conclusion. Del Mundo tho... my god.

Awesome! Great assessment, too. Such a great book. PERFECT art for the story. Ross artwork doesn't work in every context, but anybody else on this particular book would have done it a disservice.

Which part do you hate?
Also, Ant Man #2:
"Gah he's a Gambit knockoff!"
"They're playing cards, he didnt invent those you know!?"
Made me giggle
Avengers got a interesting artist while Champions looks...like a Ramos book.

Did anyone else try out that new Greg Pak book from Dark Horse, Kingsway West? I thought it was a good intro issue. Fun blend of western setting and magic.
I think the book has potential and it kinda reminds me of Saga.
I like Ramos. And from the preview it looks like "good Ramos" as opposed to Spider-Man's "bored Ramos". Anyway:
Astonishing Ant-Man #2-5 - well this was a nice surprise, issue #1 didnt really do much for me months ago but these were much better. Scott's "im such a loser" routine is still annoying but there's a ton of funny stuff in here between his kinda-villaim buddies, the magician in issue 2, his team up with Sam Cap in issue 3 and the overall Henchmen app story. Kinda bummed it was canceled now tbh :/

Vision #3 was boring.
Rage of Ultron
And hope you like Ant-Man loser hero thing, it goes on til the Cassie issue
Also Astonishing Ant-Man 11 isn't a CW2 tie in now odd
