Hey, Rumble # 1 is pretty damn good. Don't know much yet, but the world is interesting and it got a laugh out of me. Also, this is definitely my first time hearing of James Harren and I really like his style. Fights/action scenes are super kinetic and great, from what little I've seen of his work.

Not gonna front, I've read ZERO Hellboy and Hellboy related books. But, man, that shit looks great, and I'm just sitting here looking over Rumble pages following the pretty impeccable action, and I can't afford crazy expensive collections right now, so maybe the library will have some BPRD?
Don't have a concrete top 10 of 2014 yet, but most hyped of 2015?
1. Bitch Planet (the rest of it)
2. Jem and the Holograms
3. Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
4. Howard the Duck
5. Spider-Gwen
6. Archie 2015
7. Marvel Star Wars
8. Clean Room
9. The Fly: Outbreak
10. Secret Wars (please be better than Axis)

I'm in a similar boat but neither the first BPRD hardcover nor the first Hellboy tpb made me want to stick with it. I remember dudes praising The Long Death left and right (that's the James Harren one with some crazy fight scenes) and I'm sitting here like ((
Chrononauts
8house
The Morgan Jeske thing with words by Nick Spencer
Liefeld's The Brigade

Also, wow. I did not know that Luke Skywalker hardcover existed. Definitely let us know how that is. I haven't read any Star Wars comics, so a Greatest Hits would be really cool if it's actually good.
I'm really looking forward to reading it! My day is too busy today though, so I gotta figure out where I can squeeze in the comics reading. Worst case scenario, I'll read six issues tomorrow. I should be able to get my reading in somewhere though.
I love each of these books more than is reasonable and I dont like having to rank them against eachother.
I feel like Multiversity is "important." Not that it's going to change the comic industry or anything like that but every issue I read I feel like there's so much that can be discussed and talked about and elaborated on and built from the issue.
I read Southern Bastards #5 at work and had no where to vent but I was so fucking angry. I haven't ever reacted like that to anything I've read and I had to get up and walk around to calm down.
InstockTrades is pretty awesome.
They messaged me telling me that Y The Last Man vol 2 was not in stock,,
I sweet talked them a little and they put on Blacksad HC ($3 more no charge)..
AND they said Vol 2 is out of print, DC is going to be printing a newer bigger edition with volume 1 and 2, and IST said they will also give me a discount on that book since I couldn't get vol 2.
Hi,
We can do that. We have waived the price difference of $2.90 and your order will be packaged today. Also, DC got back to us and said that although that version of Y The Last Man Vol. 02 will not be reprinted, the new larger Vol. 01 contains what the old Vols. 1-2 contained. If you want to buy that at some point, we can get you a few extra dollars off. Those few dollars and the waived $2.90 for Blacksad will help offset having to essentially buy the material from the old Vol. 01 again. Does that make sense?
Unfortunately, DH has a terrible trade pricing setup so it's going to be super expensive to catch up on BPRD: Hell on Earth (the follow up to Plague of Frogs) in trades. It's actually cheaper, IIRC, to buy single issues.
Also, more bad news, you should really get
All of Abe Sapien
All of Lobster Johnson
All of Witchfinder
All of Sledgehammer 44
There won't be Hell on Earth omnibuses for probably five or six years.
There won't ever be BPRD 194X omnibuses, probably, which are also essential and incredible.
Someone give me a rundown on WTF happened in Batman 37, ish was...too boring for me to bother to understand it =_=
Batman & Robin 37 was...lulzy.
Rumble was the J. Arcudi comic I was trying to remember haha. If you like Arcudi's writing, try some of his older work
Barb Wire
BPRD and Abe Sapien (can't believe I forgot he wrote these 2 series)
Lobster Johnson

Annihilator #4 that good ol' Morrison craziness, just the perfect dose <3
Megaman #44
SPARKMAN IS THE BRO-EST OF BROS!
THE BRO-EST!
THE. BRO. -EST.!
Multiversity: ThunderWorld
Oh SURE Sivana you are totally NOT a 'stereotypical, cackling madman'.
Anyone else reminded of Miracle/Marvelman's origins from the Moore series in this issue?
Great issue, I really wanna see more of that world and man THIS is the Captain Marvel I've missed, not that Johns' Captain Marvel is bad, it just doesn't have what made the original Captain Marvel such a charming character.
Transformers MTMTE #36
Gotta give Roberts credit even in an
alternate past Cybertron, Pax would not be corrupted, some things really DO NOT change
...and Megatron CASUALLY, CASUALLY talking to
Orion in the past
is just...it is genius the way it was pulled off, and I'm glad to see Megatron still going on his way to become a better person.
Seems like there's at least one new Image title every week. It's getting hard to keep up. Is Image trying to increase their monthly output to match the big 2?
I'm not complaining. Bring it on.
I have a couple of those cube shelves, so i just have a random order of things. One shelf will have mostly marvel books, i try to group events together, one shelf has stuff i just received and need to read, etc etc. Alphabetical is never going to happen.
I generally group books by publisher, then size and alphabetically. For example - for my Image books, I'll have all of my Image Deluxe Hardcovers organized alphabetically, and then after that will be all of my Image TPBs, also alphabetically.
