Archie #1 modern relaunch, Mark Waid and Fiona Staples
This March
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Don't make me remember. Y is a perfect story, but I don't think I've ever read anything more gutwrenching. I remember crying like a mental patient reading that ending.

Hey, Cade. Remember the ending to Y? Remember all those vivid details of sadness, loss, and despair? Remember?
GEORGIA! GEORGIA!
Archie #1 modern relaunch, Mark Waid and Fiona Staples
This March
Yeah but here's the catch:
Staples art is clearly going to be gorgeous for the duration of their run.
Waid trying to write teens may look exactly like Moore trying to sound hip in Crossed. It may end up like a beautiful steak dinner...with a giant steaming dump sitting right next to your food.
Sure, that steak is delicious, but I can't help but not enjoy it because of smelly shit that is overtaking my senses.

Huh. Interesting analogy haha. Even if that was the case though, with Fiona's art, I think a more accurate comparison would be if you were eating with a friend, being served godlike-steak after godlike-steak by a world renown chef, only for your friend to let loose an air biscuit every once in a while... :/
Lol I just don't see a 52 year old man writing a compelling teenaged drama. Some of his GOOD writing can get hammy as shit.
I would rather see a younger female writer compliment Staples' art.

I literally brought the book to my face and yelled out "noooooooo" and just sat there in disbelief. I was mentally preparing myself for tragedy and it still shocked me.
The scene with Ampersand in the snow hit me harder than 355.

355 ain't shit. She never really did anything for me. Other Beth is superior waifu. But yeah, Ampersand was the hardcore feels.
Room got real dusty all of a sudden around that scene. Allergies or something.

And honestly, the revelation from
OG Beth was amazing. You've had this intense, heroes journey, where the guy just wants to get back with the woman he loves only to find out that she was going to break up with him. You're left in a stunned state where you just want to laugh at him. Of course that's how this turns out. Yorick can't catch no breaks.

True. So what other non cape stories do you like?

Girls by the Luna Brothers is pretty good/fucked up.
Phase III is where the party is at.
Speaking of Y: The Last Man and Brian K Vaughn, how did everyone feel about Ex Machina? I really enjoyed it, although I'm not sure I appreciated the
at the end. I felt like
, but that suited the story.
other Hundreds from parallel universes
it had a pretty nihilistic view

My damn IST order is being held up because of Y The Last Man vol. 2
She needed breaks on Saga. Adding another series means something is going to have to give. Probably already did.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnAAAAAAAAAAA
I liked it alright but
when the... main guy... i forget his name... made his father figure dude shoot himself I was like HOLY FUCK. That was just... damn. So brutal. Good book overall but I've already forgotten most of it whereas Y stuck in my head a lot more.
Y: The Last Man spoilers:
You guys are crazy. 355 all day every day. Such a badass. Other Beth ain't shit. When 355 snapped that chick's neck and paralyzed her... got damn. Best girl.

Batgirl/Ms. Marvel-syndrome, the deadliest combo of them all!
Tumblr would explode when this Team-Up would happen.
Has anyone read The Fuse?
I went to my local comic store the other day to check up on my folder and just see if anything looked interesting. I ended up grabbing Aliens: Fire and Stone because I haven't read an Aliens comic in years and they used to be my favorites. On the way out I caught Fuse in the corner of my eye. I get home and look it up only to discover that it is essentially cyber punk Law and Order on a space station.
Is it as amazing as it sounds? I may pick up the first volume and go on from there.

Oh fuck you buddy. You wouldn't believe how hard I am shaking my head.
355 was my fave 
But I did love other Beth

By any chance, have you read Waid's Legion of Super Heroes run? Or his Dr. Strange mini from a few years back?
It's not very amazing. More Law and Order less everything else.
I crushed my backlog this weekend due to no TV or Internet.

When does Star Trek / Planet of the Apes comic come out? Or has it already?

Gerry Duggan showed up at the Marvel "exclusive writers only" retreat, even though he's writing Arkham Manor for DC.
Charles Soule did the same thing before signing that Marvel exclusive, and held on at DC for a few months to finish his stories.

So Mark Waid seems to leave Marvel for Archie?
Seems like they lost one of their last exclusive writters
He's got S.H.I.E.L.D., which is kinda like the show but with an actual budget and they team up Coulson and Spider-Man if they want to. Suppose to be a one issue/one story format, which he's good at, different artist each issue. Ramos has the high school/Ms.Marvel one(Impulse, remember?), Alan Davis is the one with Spider-Man and the mythical terrorists in Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, Chris Sprouse is doing an issue, etc.
He's also got that Princess Leia mini-series with Terry Dodson coming up.
And he's taking over Amazing Spider-Man after Spider-Verse according to Kipp's rumor mill
355 was my fave
Messi, you're alright.
