So it was added later on by another writer?

I'm following that Multiversity reading order, just finished a few of the Lobster Johnson books
Fairly sure they are just for introductions. You gotta buy the book after that.
Marvel everybody.

Was added by Judd Winick before the N52 IIRC.

Aweosme have you got a link for that? I have no idea what they recommend. Lobster is so pulpy and awesome ahaha beware my claw! The iron prometheus is a really good book to read too, lots of things later you will recognise from that, it seeds a few things haha
Damned straight.
We're in a golden age.
If you read CMX sales and Humble Bundles comics are dirt cheap and we have a more varied, interesting output of different genres and books than we've had ever.
The industry is almost certainly in a growth period too, but the channels are fragmented. That's not without problems, but ultimately the numbers are going up. It's just not particularly in any publisher's interests to collate and publish them publicly. The only audience who might be relevant is the direct market, and they probably don't want to hear the news "actually this book sells great, you should order more. But people haven't been buying it from you because your store is badly decorated and kinda stinks."
You wanna write an article that Marvel and DC are still too focused on books that sell well now and not things that will create a nice collection that gives long tail sales? I'd completely agree with that piece (but they're hardly the only media companies to do so). But the industry "dying"? Nonsense on stilts.

So it's still new. Writers should show that side of him more. Although I guess Jessica Cruz now fills the void for Hispanic Green Lantern.

Donnie why'd you have to disappear when I was getting into Mignola LOL
I'm glad I got into it when I did at least. Looks like Library Edition 5 is getting hard to find now, at least if Amazon is to go by. I hope they do another for all of In Hell, it deserves one.

Whew been a busy few days. Today was my kid's first day back in school. I'll have to go through the last few pages and see what I missed.
I think Tom Taylor wrote All-New Wolverine Annual #1 on the toilet so he could take two dumps at the same time. Do not buy.

I am fairly sure I spotted someone ask mignola this on his twitter today, and he said in hell would be included in further library
editions, so you gotta nada to worry about!
Haha I'm sorry man! I'm sticking around this time. I am always down to shoot the shit over mignola and I need very little excuse for reread so just give.me a heads up whenever you guys are reading stuff and we can have a bit of a book club or whatever, discuss whatever you're on!
Lashley, you've made good headway already, have you got all this digitally or are you buying them as you go? I bet that reading order is spot on, those guys do food stuff over there. I provably would never go so in depth but if there's a perfect order that's not published order, I wouldn't be surprised if that's it.

That's a hell of a description.
In better news, Ms Marvel is still excellent. Miyazawa is a great fit for the character.
The artist from Mary Jane Loves Spider-Man? Excellent choice.
Wow, Rebellion buys up Fleetway's archive:

The physical trade for Insexts came out but I don't see it on Amazon. Did anyone see it in their store?

So Spider-Man #7 was a good read. Kind of still illustrates where Bendis' strength lies, the character dynamics when he has his own sandbox to play with. I dug the heart-to-heart talk between Miles and Bombshell over whether Miles' should feel obligated to participate in the incoming fight in Civil War II. Of course, going by the future solicitations, it looks like he's going to have no choice thanks to Ulysses' vision.
Ms. Marvel #11 sucker-punched me in the feels. Like, damn that was a heartbreaking read.

They are a small publisher and trades seem to be in short supply. Amazon don't carry any physical aftershock comic. IST has it though.

Hey welcome back Messi 
Still making my way through the thread but if you haven't tried it yet Hagi, you gotta. The Goddamned is fucking awesome. Sadly it hardly ever comes out. If you can deal with that I heartily recommend it.
bwa ha ha ha ha
Glad to hear Ms. Marvel is great. Looking forward to that one.
Yeah it was just so lazy man. Laziest book I have read in a long time. There are weird inconsistencies in the story, the underlying plot is poorly thought out, weirdest cameo ever by
which should have been hilarious but isn't. There are I think three good laughs in the book, so you're paying about $1.63 per laugh. There have already been a lot of fantastic, hilarious
so if you're gonna do one, you need to put some effort in.
There is one really funny bit though. I'm tempted to post it but I feel bad posting the best panels of a book.

Seems I'm not the only one who came to a certain conclusion after the latest issue of Detective Comics. Is this really gonna happen? Wow.
Clearly the least surprising cancellation ever because almost nobody even reacted to this news but it still fucking sucks. The latest issue was great, too.

Regarding Tims death? Curious how Bruce will react, the last years since Damien came back it felt like he didnt cared the slightest for the boy he called his son once.

Yep. Also did some issues of Runaways, which makes him seem like The Guy you Get When You Can't Get Adrian Alphona. But I dig it regardless.

That was really fucking cool but it bothered me that
The goddamn Batman didn't have better security on his BatMech
Also that it was soooo much better than the suit he used in Court of Owls and he...keeps it on the fucking moon?

Hey BLL did you post about your D&D game and I missed it?
EXM is a fine comic book but OML and Moon Knight are a cut above. Two of the best Marvel books going at the moment.
Yeah it shouldn't work but they sell the shit out of it, in art and story. I fucking love it though I imagine it's a concept on its way to the dustbin.
I miss classic Wolvie. I do. Iceman was a favorite as a kid (probably because he was one of Spider-Man's amazing friends) but he hasn't been interesting in a long time.
Angel is the only one I am going to really have to disagree with you on...provided we are talking about the character throughout his history, both Angel and Archangel. He has been the focus of a lot of cool stories, most recently the Dark Angel Saga which people were raving about in here a few days ago. He was boring as fuck initially but few characters have suffered as much for mutantdom as much as Warren.
Also he's Psylocke's bae
This was a terrible post
All right I just realized this is probably pretty boring for you guys, and also that a bunch of my favorite Image books came out all at once so I'm gonna go read some comics. But I want to talk about Klaus and a couple of #1s from last week later.

Haha I managed to find an issue with OML too, at least that's more stupid trade decisions rather than judgements on the book. I'm still trying to chisel down the marvel books I'm going to grab from the all new all different wave. I have too much to buy.
Not boring at all man, nothing wrong with catching up on the chat

It's happening on Sunday! Last weekend I gave them their character sheets (the pre-made ones from the Starter Kit, they'll make their own if they have fun), and I've been fiddling with the adventure for the last few days. I'm beyond excited, I think they're getting pretty into it. I'll let you know how it goes!

Though, given how kind of flirty Lana was acting with Miles in todays issue, Bendis has been straight up trolling with Miles' love life Makes me think all that Spider-Gwen stuff is another false flag just like how issue #3 was with Miles and Kamala.
Some of the NYCC panel schedule is up on the app.
Nothing too exciting up there yet...DC panels bumping into each other with the Batman family one starting 45 minutes apart from the Young Animal one.
Looks like Erica Henderson, Babs Tarr and Terry & Rachel Dodson were added to the artist alley last since the last time I looked.

Fucking facts right here
Hal Jordan's been a part of a lot of cool stories, too, but it doesn't make him any more or less boring. That's not the main point, though. My main point is that my issue with Warren is currently what's happening in All-New X-Men, which is actually both interesting and frustrating. SPOILERS FOR ANXM #12
On the frustration side, it feels like Warren suffers from the Jean Grey problem: we had one cool story revolving around a singular character-exclusive plot element, and now every story we tell afterwards with this character is going to involve that element. Or we just end up skirting around it. In Jean's case, that was the Phoenix and in Warren's, it's Archangel. Now, that's not to discredit any of those stories. They're good fucking stories, but it doesn't change my ultimate point of "We don't know what to do with this character, so we'll just keep doing the same thing again and again." Same thing with DC and Red Hood and Arsenal. "What do we do with Red Hood? Don't know? Have we done a story about him being the angriest Robin and how he was killed and he's not dead? DO THAT!" or "Arsenal? Have we done a story about him being an addict? Something along those lines? DO THAT! Wait, he had a kid? We killed her though, right? So now he's an addict? DO THAT!"
Now, on the side of interest: I find it incredibly interesting that the O5 are falling into the same traps that their adult selves did. I brought it up before with Hank going behind his team members' collective backs by experimenting with time travel in order to bring them back. Something that adult Hank was called out for and subsequently ostracized. So now young Hank, despite pushing that he and the rest of the O5 would choose their own paths, they are actually doing the same shit. Actually, it's happening to them even earlier in life due to their premature exposure to their futures. This little revelation is proved to be even more interesting given that Warren, the one that was the absolute biggest proponent for changing his future due to the whole Archangel-into-tabula-rasa future he has going for him, is actually going through a similar thing to Archangel yet again. His cosmic powers that he chose to keep have now taken a hold over him, as they get hotter and hotter which is forcing him to find a release. Obviously, that means burning the shit out of bad guys. Laura even comments on how he looked (something along the lines of crazy) when he was fire blasting all those demons, which I think is even more interesting that she'd be the one there, given that she's worked with adult Warren before on X-Force and has seen first hand what the Archangel persona would do to him.
Basically, I'm getting exhausted of these characters showing up and getting the same stories again and again, but I'm forgiving this one because the whole arc of these characters falling into the same traps regardless of age or motivations is an intriguing one and really is the only reason why I'm still reading ANXM.

And no, I'm not even bothering to bring up the current Uncanny book, because that shit is terrible and incredibly stupid.
Releasing more would undercut trades lol.

I love the
Hellbat design. Aside from that issue the only time it's been seen was in Tomasi and Gleason's Batman and Robin run to invade Apokolips.
