I really wish they'd give the reader a heads up when an artist is randomly off the book/ on break or whatever.
The Punisher #13 art isn't Gerards.
Main reason I buy this book,,, so will he be back,, how long.. is he done... bastards. lol

I read issue 2 through 13 of Saga last night and am absolutely loving it. I'll finish it up tonight and then I'm definitely grabbing the next trade when that comes out later this month.

Read the first two issues of Runaways and the first issue of New X-Men also and liking those also.

I'm in the mood for some Christmas themed comics. Picked up a Archie Christmas issue on Wednesday.

So far I'm looking to maybe get Archie's Favorite Christmas Comics and Archie Christmas Classics TPBs. Anyone read these?

Any suggestions ? Doesn't have to be Archie related

Dear Daily Planet,

Is there a Santa Claus?

My friend Billy says there isn’t. He says Santa Claus is for babies. He says it’s all made up and big kids know better.

That’s not true, is it? Can reindeer really not fly? Is nobody checking if I’m good or bad? Is it all a big lie?

I’m asking you because my daddy says everything in your paper is true. Except the part about the moon landing.

Yours Truly,
Tyrone Jenkins III

I'm really happy the last page doesn't say Season's Beatings. I've never read that story, but it's fucking hilarious.

I ordered Batman: Noel, Archie Christmas Classics and Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas (Manga).
Had no idea there was a Nightmare Before Christmas book.

Finally picked up and read ODY-C. Man, hell of a fucking issue. There's a ton to parse there, but I'll say, once you learn to read it, in the almost verse-prose that Fraction and Elioupolos have created, it really starts flowing beautifully, and combined with the super psychedelic and gorgeous imagery, it becomes pretty damn melodic.

This single issue really doesn't linger on any long-winded introductions or meandering, and thrusts you directly into The Odyssey and O's fucked journey home. I think the gender-swapping is pretty brilliant, as they're fucking with not only a simple swap of tits and dongs, but they're completely altering all of the relationships, to some degree, between these classic characters in this classic story. There's something super powerful about the only men shown in the issue being
a scarred gimp and a disregarded god, and then having O reveal that her kid whom she desperately misses, is in fact a boy (one of the only non-gender swapped characters from the original that I noticed).

Also, like Zombine mentioned before (I think), there's an 8-page spread detailing the history of the universe. That's kind of fucking crazy in all of the best possible ways.

I picked up the first cuz Image #1s & Fraction. It's dense and accessible at the same time. I think it'll be a trade wait for me, tho.

Harley has some realllllly bad dialog in parts, but issue #2 was better than the first. They made poison ivy have zero personality though.

but I am taking tiny steps forward
The flashback issues of Tulip in Preacher are amazing.

Also, I didn't notice this on my first read of Preacher, but in the first Tulip flashback issue
right after a scene with Tulip and her dad fishing and catching a shark, it skips to a scene of the dad reading a bedtime story to Tulip (she's like 5 at the time) and the dad now has a hook for a hand, but it's not the focus of the panel and it's never mentioned. It's just implied that the shark bit the hand off. Pretty hilarious.

I only read that one page of Ant-Man and I'm already sold. It's gonna be good.

Yes, it looks like fun.
It's nice to see more superhero titles go for a more humorous approach instead of trotting out nothing but the same old melodramatic bullshit. It's a bunch of capes and tights. Lighten up and have some fun with it.

Writing on his Facebook page Broderick said: "Today's heads up. If you're a cosplay personality, please don't send me a friend request. If you're a convention promoter and you're building your show around cosplay events and mega multiple media guests don't invite me.
"You bring nothing of value to the shows, and if you're a promoter pushing cosplay as your main attraction you're not helping the industry or comics market. Thank you."
In a later comment he added: "Cosplay are just selfies in costume, and doing multiple selfies is about the highest expression of narcissism."

Damn, DC is releasing a lot of their amazing Deluxe Editions this month. I already preordered A Superman for all seasons from my comic dreamteam Loeb/Sale, but there are releasing Superman Unchained and Identity Crisis in this format.

I wanted to ask if these two books are worth buying and if Identity Crisis is accesible enough for someone who off all books only read Batman comics before?
