Top 5 comics image coming soon. It was a good week despite an event having a very weak finish in all respects.

 

[Sadist]

Oh damn

Got a cool unexpected christmas gift, the 2014 Marvel Encyclopedia. Man, it's so cool.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

The only changes it makes to the mainline Batman title are the location of the bat cave and Alfred's daughter being there, which are pretty unobtrusive and don't raise many questions.

Better or worse than Batman and Robin?

 

[Freezasaurus]

So, out of curiosity, what's the general consensus on best titles of Marvel and DC. Pretty much fell off comics for the most part. Had a weird moment musing on Spider-man where everything just ended up feeling pointless with those universes.

Is Loki still good? I rather liked the first few issues. I've also been hearing good things on that Ms. Marvel series.

For me, I'm going to say:

• Ms. Marvel
• Grayson
• Gotham Academy
• Harley Quinn
• Silver Surfer
• Uncanny X-Men
• All-New X-Men
• Catwoman
• Avengers
• New Avengers

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Better or worse than Batman and Robin?

Not even a remote competition.

 

[B-Dubs]

Better or worse than Batman and Robin?

She's just kinda there, sort of like window dressing or a cameo.

I ain't even read it yet

 

[Rrongfield]

Merry holidays comic brahs.


Axis is gone, and so Uncanny Avengers will soon be back to kick ass. It was an okay event, but I had fun with it.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Batman 36 that whole reveal was just amazing. I like this version of

Spoiler

the Joker

as much as I enjoyed Morrison's version.

Now to start catching up with Batman and Robin. Only 18 issues to go!!

 

[TerminalDogma]

Just read issue 2 of Tooth and Claw. I was a little weary about this from the first issue, but holy crap by the second page of this one there is a lion man with a beam sword riding on a grasshopper fucking up skeksis knock offs. AWESOME! Also, no more tiger boobs. Just a lot of dong.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

where is tyrant rave and his AXIS opinion

Hopefully he's not having a seizure due to siren overexposure.

Do not worry friends, I haven't picked it up yet. I'm going to the comic shop on Friday so my post for the finale of best comic book event ever will be made then.

Welp it's late Christmas eve. Back home from visiting the fam and exchaning gifts (our tradition is Christmas eve night) so I think I'll read Batman Noel for the first time. Let's see how this turns out

 

[Nudull]

Gonna do some post-Christmas shopping this weekend. Debating between grabbing the Animal Man by Morrison omniboo or hunting down X-Statix and/or Strangers in Paradise.

get X-Statix for ComicGAF Book Club #3

 

[Tyrant Rave]

For Christmas my parents got me some of the New 52 Batman trades, the first trade for Gotham Central, and a JLA shirt. My sister got me some old Harley Quinn issues from like 2002 or so, she knows me so well.

 

[Voror]

Do you mean of what is currently being published or of all time?

Out of what is still being released, I find myself enjoying the following titles the most:

-Silver Surfer
-Ms. Marvel
-Secret Avengers
-Captain Marvel
-Rocket Raccoon
-All New X-Men
-Uncanny X-men
-She-Hulk
-Black Widow

Hickman's Avengers is really good, but I'm personally behind on that saga. Hawkeye is fantastic, but has a really shitty release schedule and Superior Foes of Spider-Man just ended ;_;

Ah, meant current. Sorry, I should have been more specific. Heard good things on most of those as I recall.

I can recognize that Hickman's work is good, but something about it just doesn't appeal to me. Not sure what. And is Hawkeye still doing that ridiculous thing with that gang that always says bro? Superior Foes is another one I've always heard great things about and heard was really funny.

I rather want to pick up some of the trades for these, but worry they'll just release some hardcover edition down the line that collects like 12 issues.

Current? Batman Eternal is pretty great.
Kinda wish more big comics would try weekly runs.

Call me crazy but after Eternal ends i'd probably try Detective as a weekly/bi-weekly and keep everything else the same.

I may look into that one once it ends. How is Detective since the writer change? I think it was the people who were on Flash previously, correct?

For me, I'm going to say:

• Ms. Marvel
• Grayson
• Gotham Academy
• Harley Quinn
• Silver Surfer
• Uncanny X-Men
• All-New X-Men
• Catwoman
• Avengers
• New Avengers

Wait, Catwoman got good?

Grayson I read the first two of and liked. Not familiar with Gotham Academy, but will look into it.

 

[Caspel]

Don't get your hopes up here, BKV is soured on the TV process after doing Under the Dome.

Oh?!?! I had no idea. I didn't like the show, but I did like his contributions to Lost.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Wait, Catwoman got good?

Yeah, the very minute Ann Nocenti stopped writing it. It's being written by Genevieve Valentine, now. This is her first comic writing gig, I believe. But she's a sci-fi / fantasy author.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Adding onto what the others have already said for good Marvel/DC stuff, I highly recommend Superman. It's been consistently great since the new creative team took over with issue 32.

And I'm always behind on it, but Daredevil is a good choice too.

 

[Voror]

Well, that's good to hear. Wasn't aware Nocenti had left.

That's Johns and Romita, right?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Well, that's good to hear. Wasn't aware Nocenti had left.

It was only a few issues ago, so you don't have more than three or four issues to catch up on. They've changed the angle of the book a bit. Selina is now a big player in the organized crime aspect of Gotham. It's different, but it's been very enjoyable and well-written.

 

[Serpentine]

That's Johns and Romita, right?

yup. and I second the rec, it's a very good superhero comic

 

[GorillaWithDandruff]

I'm constantly hearing good things about the new Superman but I absolutely cannot stand JRJR. :/

 

[Dalek]

The X-Men annuals were fantastic. That art was stellar.

 

[frye]

Speaking of JRJR these Wolverine comics are basically everything I wanted Wolverine to be when I was eleven or twelve. Fuckin ace tbh

I like Red Son less than I remembered tho, mostly cuz of the third issue outside the ending. A Mark Millar comic for people who don't like Mark Millar comics

Has she gone full on villain or sort of using the position to help the city in her own way?

yup. and I second the rec, it's a very good superhero comic

Will check out then. Thank you.

 

[Dalek]

Oh God, why. Andy Kubrrt is drawing Robin Rises. I can't stand his artwork.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Has she gone full on villain or sort of using the position to help the city in her own way?

The latter. But there was also a reveal about who her father is, so it's all related.

 

[fertygo]

Oh God, why. Andy Kubrrt is drawing Robin Rises. I can't stand his artwork.

If this could made you happy, that issue basically rehash of Gleason issue plus added scene

Spoiler

where Damian punch the shit of Darkseid's henchmen with his new superpower.

 

[PsychBat!]

eh, Robin Rises was a million times better than Shitxis by Remender.

 

[fertygo]

The whole arc is just great, fucking Batman story that not street level somehow could also works.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

So... how's Damien not dead again?

 

[MikeDip]

Mind MGMT is a great call. Maybe Zero too?

When you say Zero is it the spy one I am seeing on amazon? "Zero Volume 1: An Emergency TP"?

And how many TP are there of this series, I am seeing 3?

It is catching my eye! Along with the others listed.

 

[GorillaWithDandruff]

Hot DAMN I love Christmas!!

So... how's Damien not dead again?

Shhhhhh

 

[Serpentine]

We open a single gift on Christmas Eve every year; I got Southern Bastards vol 1! Already reread the first issue, it's even better than I remember

 

[MikeDip]

Yay Merry Christmas! Let's see more Christmas hauls. Here's what was under my tree for comics, many suggested by you guys so thanks!

At 25 years old my body is still trained to wake up at 6 in the morning on Christmas Day. I guess I'll drink some coffee and read Sunstone and keep catching up in SiP.
