Morrison's occult war with Moore is 100% real, or at least, Morrison certainly believes it is.
Y'all should read Supergods, if you haven't already. Part history of the medium, part autobiography. Gives a hell of a look into Morrison's mind.

November OT cancelled due to nuclear war.

You can seek sanctuary in Sweden. Russia would rather invade us instead of bombing us.
Depends on DCs releases tbh

Mister Miracle 1: Not really sure about this one, I am gonna give it one more issue but I wasn't too impressed.
Defenders 4: I liked the fight but the rest of this issue was pretty boring.

Oh my God, did you finally realize how mediocre it is?
No? Just no point in picking it every month when it's only me buying it. I enjoy the book.
Gotham Academy Second Semester: Oh yeah, more crying over a book I love dying. I'll miss this book a lot. Granted, it wasn't perfect, but it was fascinating. School settings in cape universes are fascinating; I think that's part of the appeal of Spider-Man, Nova, and Ms. Marvel. Gotham Academy approached a well weathered trope from the opposite angle, eschewing the secret identity and pushing mystery to the forefront, something I personally have always loved and love here. Truly a treasure of a book. I wish DC did the Marvel postscript from the creator thing. I would have liked reading it.
Harley Quinn: I'm glad this artist is back. The other one was okay, but I like this better. Does Ivy's outfit change every appearance? Also, Harley makes me hopeful for Gwenpool: she was a nothing character at her start too and she's become an icon. I hate it when a "double size" issue just means there's a backup story. T_T
Hulk: I like that Jen is explicitly not being a superhero, just doing her best to help people. You would think she'd have invested is some stretchy clothes by now though. Weird thought: I wish they had Sana Takeda on the art.
Immortal Iron Fists: Pei continues to slay. Her classmates are dumb as shit though. How do you not recognize her hairstyle? The art for this is perfect.
Inhumans - Once and Future Kings: Why are the comics making Inhumans TV look even more trash? It would have been an amazingly cool take for the Inhumans show to be set before Blackbolt and Medusa took the throne. I think it would have made them way more appealing and approachable too. Priest knocked it out of the park with this one. I need to know what the definitive run for Inhumans is.
ALSO: Young Medusa is my favorite character since Young Jean

Now you lost me. Are you not buying it because no one else in the thread does and you wouldn't have anyone to discuss it with? Shit, if my pulls were dictated by what you guys read I would legit quit comics.
Todays List:
Jean Grey Generations - Better than Hulk, but weird. Are these just fleeting one shots? Is there some entity/force causing this? Its strange that both issues opened with the modern hero, somewhere else with no idea how they got there. Framing device to make it easier for the writers to set these up? Or a hint as to something pertaining to Legacy?
Cap 25 - Bought because of the cool Steranko variant. Gah, more Secret Invasion garbage, but Sames speech was pretty cool.
Thor God of Thunder Vol1
Thor God of Thunder Vol2
Batman (Snyder) vol 7
Batman (Snyder) vol 8
The difference financially between collecting DC and Marvel is insane. I can't believe the gulf between the tpb prices.

What version?
I think I am gonna do it tomorrow or Friday. I am just to tired right now for a text with a couple of hundred words 🙈 I am already way to late for my Skull Island review in my Kaiju thread 🙈🙈🙈
Its lasting 124 minutes - No idea what version that is

Well, we're one issue in, but it's not Kirby Mr. Miracle. That much is clear. Exactly what it is going to be is still up in the air.
I loved the hell out of it, fwiw.
Yeah, got the movie last week when it was finally in an arfordable price region, was only 11 @ Amazon

Judging from the other comments, this seems like a... interesting take on the character heh. But it is Tom King, so it could pull through. I be waiting for the trades really.

I find it really hard to have an opinion about Mr. Miracle because
But I love the art.
it's very apparent that nothing in it is on the up and up. Barda's eyes are a different color, dead people are showing up, Glorious Godfrey is around. I feel like I won't be able to actually judge anything for a few issues.
But I love the art.

I'm not out on it yet, but I feel you on this. I'm going to read the next issue and see what happens.
I opened to the first page and I was like "yeah, of course this is the route we are going to go (sarcasm)". I was really hoping for more of an upbeat comic.
I'm talking about the OP not my pulls

My chief problem with the book was that it didn't do much beyond this
"nothing is what it seems"
Just didn't build tension the way I think it was meant to.
It was definitely one of the worse "ass" pulls I've ever seen

That's totally true. I agree that I'm not nearly as into it as I was with Vision 1, but I feel like I can't judge how "good" this issue is without knowing where it goes from here.
And that attitude can't sustain itself for too long at $3.99 an issue.

It's just one issue in so it's hard to say how it will end up. It's very much a different take, but I think it's pretty well written so far. I think your enjoyment of it will depend on what aspects of the characters you really care for. It's a lot moodier than the Kirby stuff obviously. But I'd say wait a few issues and see how everyone feels if you're on the fence.
Art is fantastic though. I think these are the best interiors by Gerards that I've seen.
Edit: I'd definitely agree that Vision had a much stronger opening issue

Yeah I mean, when you create a new character (I think this is a new character) who can
vomit up anything he sees, and that's how your protagonists get a critical item the entire plot hinges on. And you call him Barf.

So many ass pulls. I count five.
