COMICS! |OT| December 2014. Alas, reading this thread backwards simply doesn't work.

Yeah, I'd never read it before but I actually like those 7 Quitely issues quite a bit, possibly (though I'd have to reread) more than the Ellis/Hitch stuff. It's a worse comic without him on it though, much like New X-Men.
also I think you're right about Hitch, he really is quite good on Ultimates

Damn.
Can we get Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher on this book?

Gillen and McKelvie already did Hipster Avengers though.
Odd specific request but I am in the mood for two types of stories please. (Not together, two different ones) Also it would be great if they were done and sold in some sort of collection type thing/tbs/omnibus.
First: Some sort of LOST type mystery, with thriller elements, twists, an overarching theme, and hopefully based in reality more that fantasy (Like if there is magic or supernatural forces they are behind the scenes) Grim-dark setting?
Second: Something similar to battle royale or the saw movies or cube, etc. People confined in a space, forced to do things to each other or find out what is going on. Confusion in the characters would be nice. Think the first 20 minutes of the Battle Royale.
Any ideas?

did you read Morrison's ghost wrote issue, #28? You can tell Morrison wrote it because Religimon, the new markertable faith commercialization satire
and yeah, Hitch with Neary with time to polish his work and Millar scripting = good

First one, maybe DMZ? Y: The Last Man?
Second one, definitely Avengers Arena, The End League or Boom's Deathmatch.

Mind MGMT and Avengers Arena
ooh shit, I didn't catch that. The run on the whole seems to have soo many of his obsessions that you see come up in his later Millarworld stuff in particular, though. I think this was the first comic where he could really let loose in terms of content after working on Swamp Thing and those Superman comics
I got all of Y: The Last Man for Christmas so it is good it sort of fits one of those, thanks!
I was also looking at 100 bullets, do you think that could also sort of satisfy the first story type I want?
And for number 2, thank you for showing me Avengers Arena! Looking into it now, it looks perfect!

This is a great question that needs to be answered. It would certainly murder any urgencey in placing regular orders for me.

Tomorrow could be the day I get the Doom Patrol Omnibus. If not, my birthday on Jan. 5. I think the next big series I get into will be Preacher.
Yo this is so 90s it hurts.
This should be everyone's first choice. What an amazing book.

It takes a lot to make a book review
A pinch of indies and the Big Two
Some girly hijinks to add the spice
An omnibus to make it nice, and you've got
Too Many Books (Too Many Books!)

welp now I won't be getting that song out of my head all day
thanks guys
thanks guys
only hope is that nothing actually released this week because of christmas, so nothing went on special.
Mind MGMT is a great call. Maybe Zero too?
It's almost as if you wrote this post specifically to please me.
BRO. SERIOUSLY.
Both great suggestions, I really enjoyed Avengers Arena. Cammi is the bomb in that.

So close (guessing auto-correct got it or something).
Anyway, finished off volume 3 of Powers Definitive Collection, which is all I owned. Really liked the first arc in it with
the Superman analogue going nuts. Though it calls into question why nobody at least vaguely discussed the idea of using a power damper on him. Like, yes by the end it's clear he's effectively become a god so it certainly wouldn't have worked and that's fair enough, but you'd think the book could at least touch on it in the middle of everyone panicking, especially considering how Retro Girl died.
But yeah, definitely going to have to pick up the rest of those... and Exiles... and Hellblazer... and BPRD. My poor wallet.

That's probably mostly Daniel Acuna, same kind of designs he used in the Avenge the Earth arc.
Dude makes it work in his series, but it will probably show up in other comics looking terrible.
Unedited Footage of a Bear is better (than too many cooks)
That's the thing with these redesigns. Like Jim Lee's stuff, there's a base that works, but then you start chucking stuff onto the costume like panel lines and armor pieces and then it looks like a mess. And depending on how other artists interpret those "accessories" the costume can look great or look completely awful.

Wait Morrison wrote the Authority? I need to read that...I enjoyed Miller's Authority as well as Ellis'.
I feel like I've abandoned comics, but I just realized that I'm not thinking of Strangers in Paradise as a comic. Half because it's not your typical comic, and other half because I'm not really posting about it in here since there's the dedicated thread.
I feel like I'm letting you all down and becoming distant.
Pics?

Ordered Sunstone, Stray Bullets Uber Allies Edition, and Stray Bullets: Innocence of Nihilism as my IST order this week.
We're still doing Stray Bullets for Book Club #2, right?

Do you read more than three issues per day, Messi?
Is the Stray Bullets omnibus still readily available? I need to pick that up if we are gonna have that be the next Book Club entry. I've been wanting to read it for a long time... and maybe it'll convince a few more people to pick up the upcoming single issues.
I'm going to do so either way, just to make sure it keeps coming out, thanks to that discouraging tweet from earlier in the thread.

I can't help it. I need more Katchoo.

How far are you?
I have no idea. The omnibus is really badly numbered. My one complaint. I'd say 2-3 days ahead.
I'm glad one of us was able to help! Just to point out, if owning the issues isn't a priority for you, check out Marvel Unlimited for $10/mo... I have saved so much dough with that service.
