Sweet Batman: Black & White cover.
Also might drop The Walking Dead and just start from the beginning and get the Omnibus's or TP. (have only read first few issue started around #110).
just the same damn pages over and over again of killing zombies for 2 straight issues basically now.

Thought it would be coming. Sales haven't been good. Is it possible Lemire is on two Justice League books or they are renaming JLC? He hinted kn twitter, then deleted it shortly after....

Nah brah JM DeMatteis is. I think thats a candidate to end too.

Which is a shame, DeMatteis has actually made the book interesting.
To your point, I think the JLC thing will be for a story arc and then it will become JL United or something similar.

Don't forget Nowhere Men. It's a million times better than those listed.

These both look interesting. Except the art on ANXM is meh.
I never should have picked up Uncanny Avengers 14. X-men are my crack and I need to put the pipe down.

Mahmud Arsar's work. Just recently became an exclusive artist with Marvel.
I like his work. It's probably the colouring department, I think its too thick.
He and Jason Latour will be doing work with the Wolverine X-Men once Jason Aaron's run is over.

No one informed me this would be the "blowjob issue" of Satellite Sam. :|
Back to Animal Man ending for a minute. It kind of blows my mind that it wasn't cancelled because of sales or editorial mandate, but because Lemire felt the story was over and asked DC to end the title so he could put Buddy in a team book environment. He clearly has some pull internally.

I'll check out the trade, but no way in fuck is it better than Invincible or Saga.

I don't understand this complaint.
The book is a little bit smaller and skimpier than an art folio but it's also like 500% cheaper than one. If The Shaolin Cowboy was the same content kicked up a little bigger on glossy paper you could sell it in fuckin' The New Museum.
Some art is just...art.

It's immeasurably better. Or did I skim past the immaculately designed magazine clippings that were also essential to the story in Saga and Invincible?
It's possible that I did. I love those books immensely but I can be a fast reader.

The only other time I've heard of something like that is when Neil Gaiman asked DC to leave Sandman alone, No going on without him.
The main difference is that Neil Gaiman's Sandman is brilliant and unique whereas Lemire's Animal Man started off great and then spiraled into "Oh god, I forgot I still wrote that book" territory for Lemire. Shame, I'd like to read somebody else's take on Animal Man, like Matt Kindt.
Is Nowhere Men anything like Manhattan Projects? A quick search makes it seem like it does the crazy twisted science stuff as well.

I'll grab the trade with my next IST order. So we shall see. What's the subject matter like? Similar to Manhattan Projects?

You don't understand why someone wouldn't want to look through 25 pages of zombies being killed with a chainsaw? I can. I dropped the series after the first issue. I don't buy art books because I'm not interested in them. I'm interested in narrative. Even crazy quasi-narrative will do. Even if dude, say, broke his chainsaw and then like had to repair it before continuing the slaughter. There. There is some semblance of a story.
The dude who bought the first three issues should pick up the last one, though. I mean, there has to be some kind of ending, right? Something? I would be curious to find out after sinking $15 into the thing. Plus, you'll totes be able to resell the complete four part mini.
Yeah, Sandman was the only other book I could think of where that happened.
While N52 Animal Man never regained the glory of those first six issues where Foreman was on art duties, it did rebound nicely after it got some separation from the disaster that was RotWorld. This year's annual (which also featured Foreman) was probably the best issue after that first arc, followed by #20 (which was about the movie Buddy acted in). It never came close to reaching the highs of Morrison's run, but aside from RotWorld, I found it to be worth picking up every month.

Oh, totally agree. Foreman + Lemire at the beginning was a hell of a team. Initially it was just nice having Buddy back on the page but it started off so damn good, and then it just got bogged down, and I want to say that's almost entirely Swamp Thing's fault. Scott Snyder never really had it with that book, despite the gorgeous Paquette art, and I feel like they were just too trigger happy with the cleverness of the Green and the Red and the Rot warring.

I thought it was pretty fun. I'll probably give it another issue or two. I'm not a big fan of the flagship JL stuff, so this was a nice change of pace.

Rotworld killed Animal Man. I wonder hoe many dropped during or after that event.

I would assume the latter. It was announced far in advance of its launch, and we know how DC is about sticking to long-term plans.

Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your mutant here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
wait for the reboot
Hooray, solicits!
Love that Kevin Wada cover for She-Hulk. Guy's a great artist.
New Secret Avengers sounds cool. I've still not read the Ellis and Remender trades yet but I've not interest in the Nick Spencer series. This sounds good though.
Amazing cover for Black Widow. Phil Noto was such a good choice for that book.
Most importantly, a Wolverine & The X-Men omnibus! And it's 900+ pages! So good. Any ideas why issues 36 and 37 aren't collected?

Batman TDK is also ending in March. Alright, where the hell are my new series? DC needs a talent competition.

Those were the BotA issues.
is WATXM the fastest omnibus solicit?
I'm tempted, but not that tempted. Definitely want to pick up Uncanny X-Force omnibus first.
Marvel has a ton of books i want to read, it's quite ridiculous. Will probably get daredevil #1 relaunch, Moon Night #1, and Silver Surfer #1, but i want to read a bunch of other books.....Marvel Unlimited better keep the updates flowing Xo

Snyder's run on Swamp Thing was such a disappointment, and his glacial pace of storytelling really hurt Animal Man as well. You could tell Lemire was treading water there for a few issues while waiting for Snyder to catch up. Snyder's Swamp Thing was the perfect example of "Oh?! I still write that book?! Crap!"
I dunno where doniewalberg (or however s/he spelled it) went, but I gotta give props for recommending the Vertigo Unknown Soldier series. Just finished the last volume up on my lunch break, and damn was that a great series. Joshua Dysart knocked it out of the park.

I'm very interested in the WATXM omnibus, but with the Uncanny X-Force one coming soon it might have to wait.

Animal Man was SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD before Rotworld. I was so hyped going in, then POOF, deflated in an instant.
I have to agree, it's hilarious. Stopping this is probably going to be the one thing logan and Scott can agree on. Oh my god, this is going to be how they reconcile! They're going to meet up to plan how to break them up and discover that they're still friends. Bank it.

It's a bit quieter than Manhattan Projects, subject-wise. It's more about creating this world (and society really) around these four scientists who were to science what The Beatles were to music. It's definitely crazy, but not as totally over the top as MP.
Also, Nate Bellegarde provides astonishingly better art.

Following on the
Crime Syndicate clones
"The Five" are evil clones of the real Justice League and this is a redemption of the CSA story? Clones of the JLA are destroying the future and clones of the CSA will redeem themselves by stopping them, if they don't kill each other first?
Seconded, that cover is hot sex.Hoping for a poster of this fracavella silver surfer cover
