I noticed Marvel Knights is back. Anybody read any of these yet? I might try the XMen ones.

Marvel Knights Spider-man is fantastic and trippy. It's a Peter Parker story featuring, like, all of Spidey's Villains.

 

[kswiston]

My Infinity bundle sold on ebay for $70, infinity along with avengers 1-23 and new avengers 1-12. That's a lot of comics.

Battle of the atom bundle still clings to my shelf.

Almost $2 a piece for all of those sounds pretty good to me.

 

[arkon]

Are Uncanny Avengers or XMen Legacy worth reading?

I think I will try and pick up some Daredevil.

Yes to X-Men Legacy. Worth trying out. Haven't read Uncanny yet but there's a few fans in here.

Daredevil is a must. The first oversized Hardcover should give a good taste of what to expect through the rest of the series.

I've been collecting this line and MK X-Men is my favorite. Brahm Revel art is amazballs, and the coloring is awesome.

X-Men Legacy is one book that has never disappointed me from day one. I'd rate it almost as high as Hawkeye.

I was worried the art in Scalped would really turn me off, but I was able to get used to it. 1 trade in now, enjoying it.

What happened to that futuristic boxing comic. Shit sounded awesome.

 

[BoosterDuck]

So we won't be getting any new comics for 2 weeks after this week?

 

[Freezasaurus]

So we won't be getting any new comics for 2 weeks after this week?

New stuff comes out on Tuesday for the two weeks following this one. Stuff comes out Christmas Eve.... just not very much of it. At all. The following week will probably be closer to normal.

[Spookie]

So I've been getting back in to my comics after getting a tablet. But can anyone recommend me a good reader? I was using ComicRack but it's down scaling to a 7" looks awful. I'm currently using ComiCat and while I like it, the developers keep threatening to drop it and when you open the menu it refuses to go back in to full screen till you close it and reopen it! Anyone got any other suggestions?

 

[ThyMusicMan]

I noticed Marvel Knights is back. Anybody read any of these yet? I might try the XMen ones.

I have been reading all 3 titles (Spidey, X-men and Hulk). I like them all, all have perrty good art.

Marvel Knights XMen is kind of like Scooby-Doo. I think these guys should take over from Sholly Fisch.

I'm catching up on my batman issues, do the villains month issues take place during zero year or are they not within the arc?

Most of the Batman Villains are either origin stories or Forever Evil prequels. I highly recommend Two Face and Riddler. I also really enjoyed Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.

Batman and Robin/Two-Face #26
Harley Quinn #1

What is this Zero everybody has on their list?

 

[GrandHarrier]

LIST

Pretty Deadly #3 (Ok, one arc! You've got one arc, Pretty Deadly, and I want some answers!)

And I realized yesterday listening to the (rather terrible) Comic Vine podcast.

I hear such divisive things about Pretty Deadly. Some people say it's the greatest thing ever and others are just ???ing in confusion. What's up?

And yeah, the Comic Vine podcast can be random but I like the hosts overall enthusiasm so it helps.

On a scale of 1 to SOFUCKINGPUMPED, what are ya, Tim?

Also, if anybody needs a great dark fantasy comic, Umbral is it. The first issue was quite long and did an excellent job of revealing the interesting world and some of the characters within the comic.

She is trying to outhink and confuse herself. She thinks being overly vague is being mysterious. It makes sense to nobody. It's what happens when you din't have an editor, Bunny.

Pretty Deadly has a lot going for it beyond the great art. What seems to be left out though is information about the characters. Who are these people and how do they know each other and why are they in each other's lives and what is the danger here and what is that item you say is important and why is it important and why is that guy shooting/stabbing that person, etc. You know, INFORMATION. What it has is happenings. Lots happens. And it looks cool. And you're pretty sure it's important and you think these characters might be interesting.

Yeah, aside from being a little goofy, the Comics Vine guys are likable enough. They just don't seem to do any preparation for their podcast. I mean, you don't have to talk about every single release, especially when half of what you're saying is "Didn't read it" "It was ok."

I'm itching to do my own thing again. I'm thinking maybe a talking heads Youtube show/podcast. I'd need to do it with someone who is as into indies as me, though. Unless I wanted to do, like, a Sell it to Me kind of show where I matched myself with a corporate comics reader and we took turns schooling each other.

Also, if anybody needs a great dark fantasy comic, Umbral is it. The first issue was quite long and did an excellent job of revealing the interesting world and some of the characters within the comic.

I just re-read Umbral #1 the other day. It's not the kind of thing I usually go for, but dammit, it's good. Beautiful and mesmerizing. Can't wait to see what happens next.

 

[Nudull]

Haven't been around here in a while, but I'll be trying to catch up from this week on. Also, Voice in the Dark, Saga, Pretty Deadly and Gail Simone's Deadpool this week. <3

Beyond words, I can already hear the opening strains of the hallelujah chorus. Zero is the best new comic of the year, and is just nanometers behind Manhattan Projects as the best comic period.

 

[Filthy Slug]

I didn't think it would be as dark as it was, as it set up a really nice, if not cliche, story about a street-urchin thief girl and a rebellious prince who are best friends, and then all hell breaks loose...

And yeah, the art is beautiful. Nice dark purples all over the place and some striking violence--it's a pleasure to look at.

 

[Owzers]

Age of Ultron #10 came out on MU today....it's over! I can move on to a different series now, maybe Avengers Arena or Captain Marvel. AoU wouldn't have been so bad at 5 or 6 issues if they just did the Ultron world introduction and then the quagmire of how to deal with it in the next few issues, the closing issue wasn't very good now matter how few issues in the middle though.

edit: This grading scale for Zero has me intrigued, time to read issue #1 today to see if i should order the trade.

 

[slightconfuse]

Zero week??

Zero week!!!!!

 

[Filthy Slug]

edit: This grading scale for Zero has me intrigued, time to read issue #1 today to see if i should order the trade.

Try out 1 and then 2 so that you kind of get the concept of the series. One is great but it doesn't show you the bigger picture of what Kot is trying to do with this awesome comic.

 

[tim1138]

edit: This grading scale for Zero has me intrigued, time to read issue #1 today to see if i should order the trade.

Do it. I know Rafa throws the term around a lot, but we are literally witnessing the birth and maturation of a comics superstar in Ales Kot.

 

[Owzers]

Are you guys excited for Kot's two new Marvel March 2014 books, Secret Avengers and Iron Patriot?

since i pre-order and would probably get the trade of Zero if i do, all i have is issue #1 since i order any image #1 that looks interesting instead of blindly buying trades.

I'm definitely gonna check out Secret Avengers for Kot and Walsh, but nothing short of Jack Kirby returning from the grave to write and draw it could get me to care about an Iron Patriot book.

 

[slightconfuse]

Hawkguy #1 is free on comixology today

Get in it if you'd haven't , best series

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I think that and the Bunn Magneto series will be the first to go. Bunn cannot write company comics. They are as bland as Great Value Mac N Cheese. Ghost Rider also scares me because the solicit read like Morbius. He should be dealing with the supernatural not wannabe mexican gangbangers that lament about Mexico but can't speak Spanish.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Age of Ultron #10 came out on MU today....it's over!

AoU #10, I actually liked somewhat. For one, it meant that horribly dull event was finally over. And in this issue, unlike the rest of the event, something actually happened! Holy shit!

The article says they are not making the move to LA from NY. This was expected, can't expect everyone in NY to pack their life's up and move west.

 

[Dan]

Yeah, doesn't sound great for Vertigo, but the cause is at least primarily the move rather than internal disarray. Of course, the editorial shakeup coming from the move may end up proving bad in its own right.

Maybe it'll do some good and they'll be able to cut ties with some of the heavy handed editors who have caused problems. And if they're super lucky, maybe Bob Harras won't make the move.

Even though I'm a huge Kot fan, I stand by my earlier statement.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Avengers Assemble #22

Not even Kot's offer?

I wish Ann Noncetti and Scott Lobdell would offer up that deal just to see the amount of returns/refund-requests they got each time an issue came out.
