That's normal. No one who reads that book knows what the fucking fuck is going on. It's a Nick Spencer book, so it's going to be a slooooow burn. But it's a fun ride, and the art is great. It'll all make sense one day.

Unless Steve Wacker is at DC again I'll pass on the weekly book.

Batman #26 was its usual quality. This one did not really advance the story but more filled holes in the timeline. You get to see what Bruce did during the day of his parents death. You get to see how him and Gordon first met. The real star of the show this issue was those colors!
Batgirl #26 back to the Wanted storyline. Good ending to the arc. The only thing that's getting in my nerves with Simone's Batgirl is her internal monologue during fight scenes. I like it everywhere else but not there. I imagine fight scenes to be all on reaction but Batgirl is thinking way too much. I'm for the line, "thinking will get you killed on the battlefield".

I'm so sick of seeing Mark Millar get all my favorite artists. First Quitely, now Parlov.
I'm sure the pitch for this one was "Buck Rogers, but with rape"

Justice League #25 was AWESOME! What a great Owlman story and you get to see whats going on with Nightwing.
Owlman wants Nightwing to help him take down the Crime Syndicate. He does not like Ultramans plan for Earth.

Oh snap. That is pretty interesting. Can't wait to get a'hold of my pull today.
Yeah it was pretty great. Plus someone makes their N52 debut as well.

DC on fire this week. JLA #10 was fantastic. Kindt is an amazing writer for Stargirl and Manhunter. Their journey to rescue the heroes continues.
Eh....... I am really wary of making Beyond part of the main continuity. That seems so limiting.
Its hard for these artists to resist owning a piece of a millarworld book. Royalties must be insane.

Who was that at the end?
Peeking in the room? No one new, it was Superwoman
I was referring to
Eel O'Brian/Plastic Man in Owlman's raid.

Thats a new character to me of course. What I enjoy since I'm newish to comics is they are doing great job at introducing characters but also tying in their origins. It was fun seeing Stargirls story this week.
Yeah, but not only that -- where else are some of these guys gonna get comics work, right? Quitely might be able to, but who's gonna hire Dave Gibbons to draw anything these days? What's Duncan Fegredo doing when Mignola is drawing the main Hellboy book?
Hopefully Parlov is still doing his Punisher book with Ennis next year and this is just a supplement.
That said, based on this picture it's Parlov doing Moebius which is gonna own:::

Kid Gladiator needs his own book.
CBR has a giant high res version of the Futures End teaser image and you can make out more of the Brother Eye-ized characters. I see Supes, Flash, WW, Bats, Catwoman, Hawkman, Simon Baz GL, and Cyborg. There's a silhouette with a mohawk that I'm guessing is the original OMAC, and one that has no identifiable features.
Wait, Vinland Saga already got an official English release? And it's a hardback release?

This is correct, and it's a double volume too. Treat yourself!
I've trimmed my manga/comic buying only to essentials but this is as essential as it gets!

Guys, keep strong. Don't fall for his chicanery. I wonder if the artists who work with him make sure that their cut from the movie is the first thing in their contract.
All you people buying Millar shit are to blame for this. Stop enabling him.

I know about The Secret Service, but what other books are up for option - or do all of his books have options?
Speaking of Kick Ass, did people generally like that movie? I watched it a few years back and it wasn't a serious superhero/action movie (AKA it didn't have a very good plot or good action or anything) but it also wasn't funny. I just didn't get it at all. To be fair, that was before I got into comics, so I may have missed something, but yeah, was the general consensus that it was a bad movie or was it just me?

Nemesis I believe as swell
Yes between the comic , movie and merch

Ugh. The worst book I have ever read.
mediocre but with a decent Nicholas Cage...at least compared to his usual roles.
Oh man, that reminds me, Ghost Rider was on TV the other night and I watched about 5 minutes of it... Now THAT'S a bad superhero movie.
Anyways, back to the topic of actual comics, I started reading the first run of Moon Knight (Doug Moench) today and I'm really enjoying it so far. There's something about those older comics with their total lack of subtlety in the dialogue and fairly straightforward plots that I find pretty charming as a change of pace.

Nemesis is a special brand of awful. By far the worst comic I've ever read, avoid at all costs.
I had no idea. I tend to ignore pretty much everything with Miller's name on it, so I wasn't really conscious of its success.

I hated that movie so much. For a good normal-person-becomes-a-superhero movie, people need to see Super. That is a genuinely interesting, funny, surprising and well-done flick.

The amount of talented artists he ropes in to write his vapid horseshit is impressive, though. It's shocking to see Quitely go from Morrison to Millar, from Multiversity (which I assume he's been at least thinking about for a while) to Jupiter's Legacy.
Gotta pay the bills somehow I suppose. My hatred for Millar will forever trump any love I have for whoever he buys to draw Rapeworld 2000.

Nemsis was about as dumb as I expected it to be.
But yea it's crazy how the quality of his writing has dropped do much . Millar was my favorite writer for a while
Where did the guy who wrote old man longan gooooo?

He left before Old Man Logan. Ultimates 1 was his last great work, imo. Civil War and Old Man Logan were both hot garbage in terms of characterization.

I know! That much cash, you think he'd hire someone good to ghostwrite for him.
