Just read the first few issues of All-New X-men, I'm really liking it right now. Bringing in the past X-men is a lot cooler of an idea than I first thought.

The only work I've read by Bendis is Ultimate Spider-man and these issues of All New X-men. I've heard that he is screwing up GotG right now, but what is the general consensus on his writing? Of what I've read, I think he's pretty enjoyable.

Good to great on solo books, bad on team books because all his characters sound like him having a conversation with himself.

Damn, tomorrow is a light new-comics-day... I don't see a single issue worth going into the shop for. Guess I can skip a week.

Gotham By Midnight #2
Harley Quinn #13

(Weirdly enough, all three are DC titles! That doesn't happen to me very often.)

The only proper way to pick it up is to have your dom go with you.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

I think this week is a 20 or so comic week for me. Too many books this week.

 

[Messi]

I don't know if I could face going into a shop and actually buying that filth with the clerk watching and everything.

Tell them it is a gift

The only proper way to pick it up is to have your dom go with you.

I legitimately laughed out loud at this

 

[fauxtrot]

Why do you hate Robin and Grayson?

If I can find floppies of Grayson #1 - the current issue, I'll pick it up. I have faith in y'all.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Guys where has Bii been recently? I don't think I gave seen him posting. Hope he is OK.

He's been around. I saw him in the Funko thread last week.

Lol Messi if you don't get it you need to turn in your membership from the ComicGAF ballers club. What would Freeza or Cheska think?

Do it, Messi. I just ordered the Bombshell Black Canary statue last night for $100. And if they make statues of Batwoman and Katana Bombshells, I'll buy those too. I've got dollars to spend and no fucks to give.

I don't know if I could face going into a shop and actually buying that filth with the clerk watching and everything.

I use the internet to buy things I'm too ashamed to cop to being interested in.

 

[Messi]

DC pls, Batwoman, Katana bombshell statues. Do it. I'd even buy a strix one.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

How is Kamala Khan and Kate Bishop not besties yet

 

[Freezasaurus]

DC pls, Batwoman, Katana bombshell statues. Do it. I'd even buy a strix one.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Batwoman would be amazing. Also, who's Strix? I may or may not know this character.

 

[Cheska]

Im surprised at how many books are releasing tomorrow. Pretty sure things were pretty bear last year.

Probably because nothing is releasing next week.

The Talon that hangs out with Batgirl. Babs saved her. Mary is her name.

 

[Freezasaurus]

The Talon that hangs out with Batgirl. Babs saved her. Mary is her name.

oooh, okay. Yeah, she'll never get any merchandise ever.

IST updated: $8 Sunstone, $20 for that book Zombine wanted.

I know but she was cool

Gonna have to re read Hawkeye to remember what the hell is going on.

 

[GrandHarrier]

I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Batwoman would be amazing. Also, who's Strix? I may or may not know this character.

She's basically Cassandra Cain.

If I can find floppies of Grayson #1 - the current issue, I'll pick it up. I have faith in y'all.

Do it.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

How is Kamala Khan and Kate Bishop not besties yet

Think Kamala's parents would be cool with her hanging out with a girl like Katie-Kate?

 

[Zombine]

I don't know if I could face going into a shop and actually buying that filth with the clerk watching and everything.

Not only will I walk in and buy it proudly, We'll
Probably start talking about bondage. I just don't care.

Uh...

Good point.

holy shit fuck

i need to get caught up on hawkeye

 

[Kipp]

Yay, holidays. I don't have to report back to work till the 5th of Jan.

Now this is a list I can understand. Great choices!

I'm not going to be putting together a list I don't think. It'd essentially be my Top 10 favorite comics in general, since 99% of the comics I've ever read I read this year.

 

[Messi]

holy shit fuck

i need to get caught up on hawkeye

You have plenty of time. They next issue won't be out for another 7 months after this one.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

noticed Aja has an inker, Raul Allen, for the first time on this run, I guess in an failed attempt to lessen his workload(lol). He previously inked some great work he did on Ellis' Secret Avengers

also noticed the safe on the second page, shit was kinda the smoking gun they left hanging back on issue #9. What the hell is in there, and I'm hoping Red comes back with Katie in #22.

Also #22 is 30 pages so lmaaaaaaaaaaaao looking forward to that in December 2015

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Hey comicsgaf <3, I need your educated opinion.
I'm a comics newbie, I started reading Marvel stuff this summer with MU, still reading right now and I'm having a blast. In the past the only comics I ever read were Batman Year One and TDKR. I just noticed comixology's DC sale and wanted to get one of those collections, but I'm not sure which one. For someone with a (very) limited expertise on DC characters and storyarcs (I only know some guys from the movies or the arkham games) would you suggest The Long Halloween or Final Crisis? Any other collection more worthy than those? I'm choosing between those two because they're pretty long for the price and because I'm getting to know both Loeb and Grant Morrison and I really liked what I read from them so far (the spider-man/daredevil/hulk "colors" series and new x-men, respectively) but I'm open to alternatives. I'm just afraid some collections might prove too impenetrable for someone not really at home with DC superheroes.
Thanks!

The Long Halloween, the Killing Joke and All-Star Superman are must-reads. Court of Owls is great too and as a newbie you should enjoy Hush as well.

 

[Splatt]

Aja's art is glorious, absolutely sensational.

 

[Cheska]

where did you hear this

 

[Freezasaurus]

The second Hawkeye OHC is delayed untile October...

I saw a Hawkeye Omnibus listed on Amazon for June 2015 or something. Glad I passed on OHC Vol.1. Enjoy having your series in two books. Maybe.

 

[Owzers]

is IST not doing weekly specials anymore?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

where did you hear this

Got the delay information from Amazon today. You americans maybe get the book two weeks earlier, since we always get the books two weeks later, but its still a damn long time...

 

[TetraxShards]

The second Hawkeye OHC is delayed untile October...

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I bought the trades and then gave them away so I could prepare for the OHCs. Don't make me buy the issues a fourth time, Marvel.

rip in peace to all the Kipps of the world

hail digital

 

[fauxtrot]

Welp, I'm glad I decided not to start reading Hawkeye again until it's all released and collected. The first trade was great, but I'm in no rush.

If I was reading issue to issue, though, I'd be pissed.

I've been meaning to pick up the first trade for ages after getting #1 for free. Guess I'll just wait until the omnibus is out now.

 

[frye]

Speaking of delayed comics, Ultimates v1 still reads pretty well today. It's still very early-2000s but I think it helps that no one is making these kinds of comics anymore.

 

[TetraxShards]

A wild teaser appears:
