we all blamed kipp, when truly the enemy of ComicsGAF was Zombine all along
its like when they bopped Darkseid at the end of Final Crisis and the Anti-Monitor popped up as the real villain

It doesn't bother me either way. Though tomorrow is new comic day, so I'd like to wait until Thursday or Friday. Either is fine.
I also got my IST package yesterday and started True Story Swear To God. Really digging it. Promethea was in the box, too. And I picked up Gundam Origin Vol. VIII from the book store. Too much good comics!

Yo, this Cowboy Bebop Set makes Aniplex Blu-Ray releases look like a god damn joke.
Edit: The vehicles and equipment in that sketchbook.
God dammit I hate you so much right now.
NotTheGuyYouKill must be a total BALLER.
Aaaaah. So that was it. Haha
It's no problem. I haven't been in a comics-reading mood lately anyways, so the delay worked out well for me.
Yeah, I'll probably still go with the 19th since that's what I've been saying and because tomorrow is new comics day. So yeah, 19th is the official SiP starting date. The OT will go up on the 18th and I'll link it here, obviously.
And glad to hear you're digging True Story Swear to God! That's almost definitely going in my next IST order.
I like how I'm Darkseid in this metaphor.
It gives me another excuse to post my proudest moment as a comics superstar artist:

It's a very charming book. Easy to love. The two books gketter posted in his pic earlier in the month are everything that's been collected in trade The second volume of the series did go on further in floppy form, and I managed to order issues 7-13 from Midtown Comics yesterday. I think that's all that was ever published.
Cool! I'm looking forward to it.
And good to know. I'll probably just start with that 500-ish page TPB and go from there.
I'm trying to get caught up on Aaron's Thor to the relaunch, read up to issue #23 now. So far it's a fairly good arc with two problems: the environmental stuff hurts because corporations are paying off politicians in the real world and the big future fight isn't depicted very well.

Kinda off topic but I just caught up watching Ultimate Spiderman and had me wondering.
Why is the gender reversed universe version of Spider-Man "Spider-Girl"?
Shouldn't she be the Spider-Woman because even if Spiderwoman existed in that universe she would just be Spider-Man

I've got like a month's worth of books to pick up tomorrow.
Aw man. Sorry wallet.

Probably fucking not.

I'm sorry bro. Fraction is too busy not giving a fuck about his corporate gigs to actually work on them.
Please look forward to "I dunno, Hawkmale sits around and some guys say bro and oh I guess the girl with sunglasses drives a car in sunglasses #21" in 2016.

Looks like DCBS shipped my Death statue .
They've had my Batman Black & White Harley Quinn "filled" for like 2 damn weeks,, But I have a Animated Batman figure that's holing it up from shipping.
Also... I reaallyyy think and want to start ordering most of my books through DCBS.
Figured id pick up my favorites from my LCS, order the main bulk from DCBS.. just getting to be too much $ too many books. Either that or start dropping more books. "Trade wait"
Looks like DCBS shipped my Death statue .
I KNOW!!!!!! Merry Christmas to me! And I got my PS4 confirmation the other day.
At this point a delay would mean that in Hawkeye days it is arriving on time.
Fraxtion script for Hawkeye already done for quite awhile..

Batman 37:
It was good? I was scared it would get burried after Pax.
It was fantastic. While iy couldn't be further away from Pax tonally if it tried, the issue is a loving homage to classic Captain Marvel stories. Stewart's art and Fairbairn's colors set the tone perfectly. I had a grin on my face the entire time I was reading it, it's just a fun comic book through and through.

I finally got time to read the Spider-Man Vs: Wolverine Crossover, that takes place in east berlin.
Really liked the book, it had a great, dark atmosphere and I really had to think of Millers/Claremonts "Wolverine" mini. To bad that it was rather short, but it was really a very good read. It was also very interesting to see Spidey in Germany.
What I cant understand is, that comic writers are so super lazy with the german language. I have the feeling that german is the most used language in superhero comics next to english, but almost nobody seems to give more effort in it than a short Google Translator use, which fucks up the grammer almost everytime.
Its no big think since its often just some minios shouting stuff, but if you have ordinary people speaking longer sentences, it just feels very wrong

Batman #37 read like a fever dream. Felt like pages were missing and the staging in the issue's key scene
was off and unclear. I was expecting
What I did like was the whole It vibe I got. Snyder's clearly a Stephen King fan.
(the isolation ward)
some variant of "it was all a hallucination" to be the ending.

Batman #37-
You remember that bit in It where they find Pennywise in all those old photos? Joker doctored himself into some to mess with Gordon.

But that final page brah.
Man with all these bums writing comics, I just want my shot. If anyone has Didio's or Axel's email let me know. There are people out there that need to be humbled.

Pat Gleason's is really damn good, man. He's been honing his stuff on Batman & Robin and it really shows. I'd love to see him experiment more with his style, maybe on non-cape books.
I always liked his GLC stuff back in the day as well, dude is just consistently solid.

There's a 14-page claustrophobic, bloody as shit fight scene in Zero this week
just a heads-up on that front

Who drew this month's issue? I won't get to read it til later on today.

I'm excited. The fights in Zero are usually uncomfortable and personal and ruthless and anxiety-inducing. I'm glad that the book holds nothing back.

There's a couple books I'm eying for Christmas Eve, so probably sometime after and before the new year.
Actually making my GOTY list right now, I'll link you to that if you're a fan of lengthy self-indulgent write-ups
edit: or I might just post it early, don't quote this post pretend you didn't see it

Batman 37. This is a creepy Batman story. When Snyder says in interviews that the Joker is done playing games, he means it. The Joker is just flat out demented now. If Snyder nails the landing, this may go down as one of the best Joker stories. It really is showing a side of Joker we haven't really seen.

Next week at some point. Got some time off so I can think about important shit, like which issue of Zero was my favorite, and which issue of Grayson presented the best Dick.
