Infinity : The Hunt #1: 3/4ths of the book was just setting up the teams and then something happens at the end. Maybe i was in a bad mood for comics reading, but i ended up just skimming the team selection middle part.

If i end up not liking this series, who wants my digital codes? First person to quote this etc etc etc.
 
Lot of cool ideas and characters invented in The Hunt. Hopeless wanted to inteoduce a bunch of schools but is pitch became Abengers Arena.

Wouldn't say no as I like the JGS kids, but I don't have anything I can trade you for them.

Inhumanity #1 was not what I expected. It's the first time in years where I was so confused and bored that I actually stopped reading halfway through :(

Tell me about this. Is it basically Chobits, the comic, like it seems to be?


I have not read it yet. Wife has started reading it. Usually I read her stuff when I catch up on my stuff. The PS4 has really cut my reading time down. I still need to catch up with a few singles, Batman RIP, and vol 2 of No Mans Land. I need a vacation.
 
Random question, does ComicsGAF typically throw up a best of the year poll / recommendations thread come year end? Would love to read thoughts & recs from everyone considering it is gift giving season.
 
Inhumanity #1 was not what I expected. It's the first time in years where I was so confused and bored that I actually stopped reading halfway through :(

Almost grabbed it while I was at the LCS yesterday picking up some Young Avengers back issues. Glad I decided against it.

Ending was a fucking piss take so it's probably for the best you killed it half way.

I suggested doing one for this year earlier in the thread, but no one responded. Either way, I'd be down for it.

Read the first two volumes of Strangers in Paradise and loved it. Took the plunge for the whole series. My Comixology collection is getting rather large!
 
So I am reading Batman and Son..

Can someone just tell me what "The Clown at Midnight Interlude " is all about ??? Lol

Don't have the patience to read all that now haha.

It's, what, 22 pages? Grab a comfy seat and read it, dude. It's a very unique issue and it's quite well written. Ignore the art and you're good to go. It's about the Joker.
 
I fuckin' hate the Clown at Midnight chapter and its tedious overblown purple prose and hideous 1990s Reboot renders, but its kinda important to the overall story Morrison is doing with the Joker over the first two "seasons" of his book, so there ya go

It's purple as hell but I think the writing bridges the gap between comic and short story. Also, the style fits what's going on, with the Joker, with Bats, and I reckon it's a bit of a slog because your brain goes into "comic book" mode when sitting down to read an issue, and this sure as hell doesn't fall into the standard comic book category.

Eh, guys like Eddie Campbell or Kyle Baker mixed prose and comics more successfully than Morrison did in Clown at Midnight I think, which is a straight up pulpy story with ugly as shit PSX-era cutscene art.

What does .INH mean? Is it a tie in? Uncanny X-Men needs to be left alone.
 
Teen Titans continues to be dumb. But it had a cool looking Coluan Lady? I'm a total sucker for DC's cosmic races and they seem to be being used a lot more lately (Durlans, Coluans, Dominators, etc.)

The Krypton Returns crossover wasn't as bad as I expected it to be but it was still kind of dumb. Story Spoilers
Kon - El dies because reasons? He is the one responsible for pushing Argo City off of Krypton with his TK, which is kind of cool, but then his TK "runs out"? Uh, Lobdell, his TK isn't tied to his Kryptonian powers. It can't "run out".
The art was great. I love the look of pre-Krypton's Destruction Kara.
 
Thee List:

AFTER LIFE W/ ARCHIE #3 (becoming one of my favorites because of Fracavilla, never read any Archie before After Life)

BATMAN #26

MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE HULK #1 (maybe)

SHAOLIN COWBOY #3

Yeah, that is definitely why they are changing the team on the book. Can't believe it hasn't been announced yet. Just oes to show how little Rich knows.

I never bothered to read it whenever I'm reading Morrison's Batman run =V
 
In my continued love of late title cards, Zero Year Flash basically cheats with the latest of title cards. Really great Barry and
Iris.......
full page spread. Gorgeous.
