Besada likes Rucka and Manhattan Projects, the best Hickman book. He's officially Good People.

Tooth & Claw, why do you play with my heart? Issue #1 gave us glorious tiger boobs. Issue #2 gives us......bloody man-penis.

Part 1, 2 and 3 of my Black Friday order are here. Now to figure out how to carry them two blocks to where I park.
I recently finished reading Queen and Country for the first time and loved it. How do you feel about having to read the novels to fill in the gaps in the comics?
Come to think of it, I've liked everything I have read that he has written (Queen and Country, Wonder Woman: Hiketeia, Gotham Central). Have a hold on Whiteout at the library, will read that next.

Wait??? really??? People complained about that? Who?
How far are you into Manhattan Projects?
It was a relatively common thing to see in other Community threads (as in, I've seen it multiple times before and I very rarely spent time onthis side of GAF... before now) and to be fair, I think they had a valid reason to feel we were getting special treatment.

I opened one page at the store and got a face full of penis.

You can kill this thread, but two MCU and fantasy battle threads will rise to take its' place.
As long as one comic thread stands, they'll never be able to claim victory.
Someone buy me one of these.

Frank miller is one of a few ways you could get me to read a Batman comic in 2015
Might not be good, but it promises to be interesting, and Lord knows DC could do with an injection of interesting

huh I had no idea, but I don't really spend any time in the community section. Comics GAF and BBQ Gaf are the only threads I post in regularly.
Read the first Deadpool Now! trade (Dead Presidents). I loved it, very fun read. First proper Deadpool series I've read, looks like I picked a good one. Also have the second and will order the rest.
That AR thing isn't working for me though. I tried it with a bunch of panels and got nothing.

Now we go from the preferential treatment of always being on the front page of OT to competing to always be the top post on Community.
Now you just have to be careful not to click on one of those weirdo threads. You might catch something nasty or see something you can't unsee.
Dead presidents is the weakest arc of the current series thus far. If you liked that you are in for a treat. The good the bad and the Ugly is a legitimately great comic story.

Have you ever gotten around to reading Rucka's Marvel and DC works? What're your fav. runs of his? I personally need to read his Batman stories @_@

How was that? I forgot to pick it up while I was at the shop. Did I do good by forgetting, or should I actually buy it?
Does that mean good or bad?
Nah, 100% serious. It's Moore in his playing with language mode, the whole thing is done in this made up future-dialect.
I liked it all right, probably not something I would recommend tho

Re read Batman Year One tpb at work over the last couple days. Such a great batman story, so well written. I could and probably will read that a couple times a year.

This spider crossover event is such a fustercluck.
What's the best way to convince Marvel to stop this one crossover a year bullshit?
Off the top of my head, there are three teams scattered across four books with intersecting storylines. I'm lost already especially after Amazing Spider-Man 10. How is Superior Spider-Man alive? If Peter regained his body does this mean this event happened in the past before this crossover? I need more Kaine, Spider-Gwen, and Miles. Assassin Spider-Man is the best spider on the team next to Kaine because Assassin Spider said fuck this hero shit and became a mercenary. Marvel did the ultimate ass pull and grabbed Spiders from The What If comics.
I'm lost so can someone do me a solid and summarize this event thus far?

This Otto is from Superior #19, on a detour from when he got lost in 2099. It was explained in Superior #32 and 33, which were part of Edge of Spider-Verse.
As long as they keep selling, they'll keep existing. Good luck with trying to stop comic fans from buying crap.
Not surprised Spiderverse is a cluster. It sounded like a potential convoluted mess from first description.
We all have to stop buying more copies of these events/crossovers than the standard titles they're related to before they'll ever consider slowing down the rate they launch them.
I've been really enjoying it.

Hostile takeover of Disney. Don't give them a choice.
I personally think Spider-Verse is one of the better crossover/events we've gotten in a while and Edge of Spider-Verse #2 alone made it all worthwhile for me... but there was so much potential for this concept to be a grand-slam that I can't help but keep thinking, "Man, this is pretty good but it could have been GREAT."
This is exactly how I feel about it as well.
One thing though, isn't this only being considered rather than probably definitely happening? Didn't the article say that due to Frank Miller's health it might not happen?
Oh my goodness. YES. That would be absolutely perfect.
I never thought about the similarities between Fiffe and DKR Miller. The art styles have some very similar characteristics.
Good stuff. I still haven't read anything by Rucka, which I feel bad about. Gotham Central has been really high on my list of comics I need to read ever since I got into comics. I just haven't gotten to it yet...
Also, I just read the first Manhattan Projects hardcover recently. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Hickman is a genius.
Sorry if this has already been posted, but it's new to me and I must say, I'm excited!
ComicsAlliance has more preview pages available, for those who haven't seen the older ones.

Just looking at the recent sales and Spiderverse has been pretty mediocre but not too bad. They seem to be attracting more than just Spider fans. Death of Wolverine doing better is another level of WTF.
Just FYI, Walking Dead was the top seller for October. Image still a long way from market dominance, but they're starting to make a bigger dent.

Walking Dead isn't the top seller because it's an Image book, it's all down to the TV show. Image have done well though, they seem to have invested the cash they're making into getting top-tier talent.
Also, most of those sales were through Loot Crate. The same goes for Amazing Spider-Man #1, Rocket Raccoon #1 and two of the three new Doctor Who books (although I believe the Who books' Loot Crate/Nerd Block sales were not counted, whereas the other two were).
This is gonna be great. I'm 90% sure I'm in for the OHC (10% chance is if it somehow starts being horrible or tries too hard or something).
Also, I really want a Ms. Marvel OHC already... #10 is coming out this month, so it should be solicited soon, I would hope.
I really hope Ryan North eventually ends up writing The Amazing Spider-Man... if that ever happens, it'll be more fun than it has been in years.

I would like to see him on a Volume 2 of Untold Tales of Spider-Man more than on the main series.

He's sad because all he sees when he looks through that window is dead parents. Guy's stuck in a flashback.

I've cut back a lot lately, plus there's Christmas presents to be bought.
This week was just Secret Six, Eternal Warrior and Valiant-Sized Quantum & Woody. Maybe Angela if the buzz is good, even though I don't really dig the character. I just wasn't reading the masses of books I was getting.
I'm probably getting myself the Gillen/McKelvie Young Avengers omni out of the money I'll get for Christmas though.
