Thanks for spoiling for me.
That's funny that you really disliked The Fear Machine though, since when I was first looking into Hellblazer I distinctly remember someone saying their favorite Hellblazer arc was The Fear Machine. I trust your opinion over some random internet person though, so I'll brace myself for disappointment. Haha

For what it's worth, to bring some of the vague opinion stuff out of the spoiler, there was at least one really good chapter in there, and some other stuff I liked. And at least part of it was me just plain not liking some of the directions it chose to go in/themes it went with. But yeah, not my favorite, but hopefully you end up liking it better than I did!

Also, a little old now but I didn't see it discussed in here yet:

Apparently the new Sonic and Mega Man crossover is also a X and Sonic Boom crossover. (Btw, has the Sonic Boom comic started yet? And if so did it manage to salvage that trainwreck at all?)

 

[Tizoc]

Anyone?


That Kravens Last Hunt leak... Whew.

Bendis' New Avengers was really good, but I don't recall enjoying the Major crossover/event stories much.
It does have the BEST Spidey moments/jokes though.

The Sonic Boom comic is good for kids, and I think they'll appreciate the jokes more the adults/older audience.
Overall it's OK, but I enjoy Sonic Universe more.
I don't know if the Boom comic will be featured in the new crossover though
For that matter

Are they going to kiss?

 

[bernardobri]

Are they going to kiss?

In my fan fic? Totally.

 

[Fintan]

What's Debra Whitman up to these days? Shouldn't she be in Spider-Verse?

 

[slightconfuse]

Anyone?


That Kravens Last Hunt leak... Whew.

New avengers is pretty great.

List

Batman 37
Multiversity: thunder world

Magnus robot fighter 9

Rumble 1

Ms marvel
All new cap 2

 

[PsychBat!]

Anyone?

What the? Aren't you supposed to be in Marvel movie GAF?

And New Avengers is great if you like Luke Cage and Jessica Jones as the main characters and everyone else just shares their voices.

 

[Coriolanus]

Finishing Alias. Was pretty ok until the spider-girl bit. Then it became legit good. Kilgrave making it betterer.

Did any other writer keep using his fourth wall schtick?

Should be able to go back to brubackdevil after this. And yeah, bendis luke cage is...hm... yeah.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Its my one of favorite Spider-Man Story, and I think it would work great as a dark and atmospheric movie.

I just dont see them making one, since the movie audience knows Spidey as a clown and The Last Hunt would maybe be to dark for them.


And New Avengers is ok. It became worser and worser as the time goes one, but the first 4,5 arcs are ok.


Got hands on the first Hawkeye OHC, I think I will read a couple of issues later. Time to become a bro, bros!

Bro! and yeah, Last Hunt is great but I don't see Sony doing it either.

What I said isn't a good thing though.

...oh.

Not awesome, then.

 

[PsychBat!]

...oh.

Bendis-speak/writing gets tedious when you read so much of it all at once. After that, you're pretty much an expert of what you can expect with dialogue and character personalities. At least with his team books. Bendis team books are not impressive, with the current Guardians of the Galaxy run (which he writes) being the worst team book of his.

Though his X-Men are a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

[Tizoc]

...oh.

Not awesome, then.

It has great Spiderman moments.
Look just get Vol. 1 and judge it for yourself mate, we got peeps here who drop $60 on floppies every week, what's the harm in 1 book~

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Can't believe DC cancelled Batman Beyond Universe. Such incredible books and world. Shame we got Tom Taylor shit still going and TV show comics and not this superb digital first series.

Isn't Beyond technically a TV show book?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Isn't Beyond technically a TV show book?

In a way, so is Harley Quinn.

 

[Parch]

Isn't Beyond technically a TV show book?

First series was even an identical adaptation of the early episodes.
Not a bad idea I suppose, but I wasn't blown away by the cartoon or the comics. I think it's run it's course.

I was reading his X-Men books until around the 25th issue or something. Bendis speak is tedious at times, but I'm used to it.

Yeah, I might as well.

 

[Messi]

Well she is a character from the shows. This is kind of different.

 

[Tizoc]

With X-Mas coming soon, here are my recommendations for comic books you could get for kids:
Dona Rosa Collection (of course)

The Megaman series (why aren't you reading this yet?)

Marvel's Power Pack comics featuring GuriHiru as the artist

EDIT: Also Bone and Calvin and Hobbes

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

No list of kid-friendly comics should be missing Bone. None.

 

[Tizoc]

No list of kid-friendly comics should be missing Bone. None.

Oh yeah that too, I got the first 4 books, I should get the rest.

 

[GrandHarrier]

You can be thankful Harley isn't a Diplomat.

 

[Messi]

Lil Gotham is a great kids read.

You can be thankful Harley isn't a Diplomat.

She'd get the results

 

[Tizoc]

UGH forgot about Tiny Titans too.

 

[GrandHarrier]

She'd get the results

 

[Messi]

Where the hell does that come from lol

 

[GrandHarrier]

Where the hell does that come from lol

Batman: A Death in the Family

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

*Meanwhile in present day Iran*

"Uh... Did you know that DC made a comic where the Joker becomes an ambassador for us around 25 years ago?"

"HACK WARNER BROS."

 

[MisterHero]

just popped in to say these covers are pretty amazing lol

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=57740

I'd watch all of them!

Agreed. Bendis is great when he's working on more personal stories with smaller casts....like Daredevil......mmmmmm that Daredevil....

Yeah DC has definitely been having fun with their variants.

Shut up, Clark!

 

[Tyrant Rave]

They're almost as good as those Lego variants that you were such a big fan of

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Low is the bravest book Remender is currently writing, sans Sixis. I have no clue what happened to Black Science or Deadly Class.


JLD I feel is mostly a mess of a book. It seems like every issue or storyline has the theme flung somewhere or seperates. They just really aren't a team. I just don't feel any tension by them reusing plot points. The "team" is just there.

What do you mean? Both of them are still incredible and some of the most fun books I read each month.

Did we ever set up secret santa or did I miss that?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Reading Hawkeye made me wonder what happened to Mockingbird, she didnt showed up for a couple of years now, am I right?

 

[Zombine]

Did we ever set up secret santa or did I miss that?

It fizzled out just like every other plan here. Lol

 

[Messi]

Kipp wanted the price limit to be set at $0. That guy really hates the comic industry.

 

[GorillaWithDandruff]

How is Low? I really wanted to pick it up but my comic shop fucked up my order and I've been too lazy to get it ever since.

 

[Kipp]

Kipp wanted the price limit to be set at $0. That guy really hates the comic industry.

I still think that the Secret Santa would've worked best if we only gave digital codes, used books, or stuff we stole from our local comic shop.

 

[Zombine]

One of the best Science Fiction books I've read since Dune. It's a hard read but it's incredibly rewarding.

I still stand by saying that a $20 IST order was the way to go.

These are fun. I might buy that Catwoman/Bullitt one

 

[Freezasaurus]

I'm really liking it, but I'm also of the opinion that it's probably one of those books that would read better in trade format.

 

[my name is ed]

a 20 dollar limit is fine by me. IST or amazon is the way I would go. We could probably list some trades that we were looking on getting and then whoever is buying the gift could pick one or two and send them that?
