A few months ago I would have agreed with you, but the last three issues of Low have been fucking crazy.

After our shiny August thread gets rekt by a flock of rabid Harleys, we have to fly the July thread once more to save GAF itself.
We then get a new thread, the August 2016-A
ComicGAF Beyond
Listen everyone has their opinions and that is what makes this thread great but low worse than Tokyo ghost? Get out of here

Honestly, if we're talking about the last 2-3 issues of each book, I would absolutely agree that Tokyo Ghost has been better lately.

I think I've been staring at the cover of Titans for about three hours now, willing myself to read it
Fuck it I'm going in
Fuck it I'm going in
I will fight you.
We are comparing second arc of Tokyo ghost to the third arc of low though.
First 10 issues of low were some of Remenders best

remender has other comics besides deadly class???
This should really be a question for the top posters around here, I'm no longer fit to choose sides.

Why are Comics OT 616 and Comics OT 1616 both active.

I actually agree with this, and I can't stand Harley. We've somehow got a random ass issue of Transformers in the top six, as well as a book about an Ethiopian bird that nobody will ever purchase.
DC will comfort themselves in Harley selling gangbusters.

The past couple issues of Low have been boring drivel. The art has taken a dive, too. I love the book, Messi. But it's not maintaining he quality that was there in the first two glorious arcs.
I don't think it matters how far along they are, unless you're implying that Tokyo Ghost is going to take a dip in quality too, which it may. But I'm si ply sying if you take the las5 2-3 issues of Low and compare them directly to the last 2-3 issues of TG in terms of entertainment value, then Tokyo Ghost comes out on top.
I never said the first two arcs of Low weren't spectacular.
I gotta read the last two issues of toyko ghoul. But I doubt the quality could improve from that rough first arc versus low's amazing 11 issues(far as I got atm)

Tokyo Ghoul is legit. But we're talking about Tokyo Ghost here. :3
Also, you should read the relevant comics before discussing their quality. :3

Yeah okay I really wanted to follow the Rebirth/
reveals but not enough to keep up with Titans. I'll just read a summary when everything comes to a head.

I was just at a friend's and mentioned I was glad that the whole Ghostbusters 2016 thing had blown over so I didn't have to hear from people raging about it anymore, and that turned into an hour-long debate.
I fucked up.

It's better to keep your mouth shut instead of getting drawn into a discussion you really don't give a shit about.
Oops.
Man I am behind 2 -3 issues so what. I am comparing comic versus comic not single issues here.
So yea low>ghost
I am so very outraged about this. It sounds terrible and exploitation at its finest. I should probably read it to make sure no one else has to. What book is this. Disgusting filth.

This is why I'm always silent at gatherings.
I really had to stay quiet when Ghostbusters was brought up. I hate how the first geeky thing I loved as a kid has become a football for both sides of this whole thing. I can't even say it as a joke, because when I say "My favourite was the Real Ghostbusters.", the younger ones go "WHATDYA MEAN THE NEW ONES AREN'T "REAL"?"
At least I have the comics.
I really couldn't disagree more. But I am not going to change your mind.

I think Low is better now than it has ever been, personally, but I have really enjoyed Tokyo Ghost the past few issues as well.

Mainstream audiences certainly didn't seem to at least.
It was fairly depressing being the only person at Star Trek as well. It was a matinee, but even so. What the hell happened to summer movies this year?

summer movies were sacrificed so that Fury Road could exist last year
a fair trade in my estimation

Good question, there has been a lot of fucking trash this year
There's always interesting stuff at the margins but the tentpoles have been so safe and so mediocre. I saw Ghostbusters yesterday and it was...fine? Just barely entertaining enough but not an inch more? I feel like I could say that about almost everything I've seen this summer.

Fury Road is overrated. Not in the sense that there's anything wrong with it, but in the sense that a lot of people talk about it like they had never seen a good movie before Fury Road came along. That movie proved to me that no movie is too good to be overreacted to.
Yeah, the marketing for Ghostbusters was horrible and the trailers were confusing people.

Suicide Squad's marketing is on point.
Like, it's pretty clear that the marketing is probably better than the actual movie, but I'm still going to go see it.
You gotta go.

I'm not wrong.
You see people in every Fury Road thread acting like that movie invented minimalist exposition or feminist themes in traditionally macho genres.

Anyone got a books a million close to them and could do me a massive favor in like 2 weeks. I want someone to ship me Tocchinis Suicide Squad variant and it's a fried pie variant so it will be available in books a moll. Can even be preordered for store pick up on their site now. But I am gone back to Ireland about a week before it releases. For some reason they don't get the variants on release day of the book. :/ pls help. I am trustworthy.
