I didn't read anything today, but I watched Nausicaa, and that's always a good thing to do.
That movie looks unbelievably good on Blu-ray.

Have you ever read the manga? The hardcover box set is glorious.
oh, that. No one knows about that without delving into spoilers, which I've been staying away from outside of the CN preview videos.

Such a good movie, might be my favourite of his. Watched it again when they screened it at a film fest in my city earlier in the year.
Have you read the Nausicaa manga? A lot more fleshed out (and very different at places from the movie) but still a brilliant read.
Edit: Don't Melania my posts Freeza.

From the last thread.
They both take place between New Hope and Empire.
Yeah, they tie into each other starting with Vader Down, which was an event where each chapter of each series continues the story. You don't have to read them together until you get to that point and then after that, just follow the reading order that shows up on the last page of each chapter.

It was easily the best of the Star Wars comics. Hopefully the new book is going to be about Aphra, because she needs to stick around.

It's pretty weird we know so little of the future of this gigantic brand. I suspect it will be Aphra and that's why we don't know yet. Don't wanna spoil she makes it out alive.

Salvador Larocca. He and Frank D'Armata ruined Fraction's Iron Man with their terrible art/coloring.

We know they're not going to kill her off. She's already been making appearances in the main Star Wars book without Vader.

Shoulda picked Namor, he would have hired someone to do the house cleaning and typing.

It's like they told him, "make some characters that wouldn't even get approved as background characters because of how boring they look"
My most anticipated books of the month:
-Ms. Marvel: It's in the OP for reason
-ANAD Avengers Annual: fanfiction and big name talent
-Silver Surfer: 50th anniversary
-Captain America Steve Rogers: This book is insane
-All-New Wolverine Annual: Just look at the cover
-Archie: I really want to see where it goes next.
-Saga: New arc time

I don't get why Snyder left Batman to work on All-star Batman. If you wanna continue working on Batman, why pick a lower-tier Batman comic? I wonder if DC moved him to get some new blood just so Rebirth could be more of soft reboot then if they had kept the same people. Otherway, looking forward to see what he does there.
New Saga arc will be awesome, it's always a bummer when it goes on a break.
Read Ape Sapien volume 7 today.
Great dialogue and story, amazing art and coloring, top-notch stuff. We also learned a few things about Ape which were pretty cool.

He might have wanted a break from the pressure. 50 issues of DC's flagship book is a heavy workload and nothing to scoff at. I'm sure Capullo had the bigger job, but still.

Put it like this, niggas buy Batman no matter what right? Well now that he built his name up, he can go and do another Batman book with star artists and now DC has another top seller. Worked for Superman Unchained, as erratically as that shit came out.

I want Spider-Man to get the All-Star Batman with the return of of Spectacular, which focused more on Peter's socal life, but RYV(which ironically has the same writer Spectacular did when it started) has me hyped so that's close enough I guess.
I'm waiting for the day where every able and notable Batman writer is writing an ongoing about Gotham at the same time.

There's a first time for everything.
Snyder said he is not going to do a twice-monthly book. DC wanted Batman to be twice-monthly. Plus he likes being free from the shackles that the mainline title presents.

ROM was so fucking rad
Question about the ending:
Question about the ending:
These are JOE characters, right? So there's an IDWverse and the Turtles aren't actually in it, is that the deal? I noticed they aren't a part of the crossover/event thing coming up
Freezasaurus

Yes, they're G.I. Joe characters. I don't know what the deal with the crossover is, but it doesn't look like ROM is part of it.

He is actually, there is a ROM issue in the checklist. Looks like ROM, M.A.S.K., Micronauts, G.I.JOE, Transformers and Action Man.
It looks skippable which is nice. ROM is the only book I'm reading on that list so I'll probably pass.

My word at the bolded. I laughed so hard I choked and then I got a bit sad because it's so true.
I'll probably be getting all of it, mainly for the Transformers stuff. Micronauts has been decent, the MASK and the Furious looks okay. I would like a great GI Joe book again but I ask for too much I think. I've always hated Action Man, even as a kid because I knew he was the reason the UK and Ireland didn't get real GI Joe stuff and we had to call the Joes "Action Force" instead. Every episode, a terrible British dub of "FULL FORCE!" instead of "YO JOE!"
