That's going to be a running joke through the whole book, huh?
HAHA yep.

Multiple Warheads is good fun so far. Graham's an awesome cartoonist. His creature designs and environments are so cooool.

Just finished reading Grant Morrison's Nameless.
Can anyone explain just WHAT THE FUCK I READ?!
My head really, really hurts. I need an explanation!

Didn't get #6 but I think my impressions up to #5 are valid : Fuck me if I know but I'm creeped out anyway.

Nope. No idea. The story was surprisingly easy to follow up until now, then it went full Grant Morrison.
I thought was alright. Bit of a disappointing "ending" to the amazing Dark Avengers.
It's more disappointing when you learn that Marvel had been promoting this event as the culmination of everything that had happened since Avengers Disassembled. They even made a trailer about it.

I'm digging it.
Doc Strange look is good. Suprisingly not too terrible cover from EW.
Lol. This movie wants to check every 'what businessmen see every comic book fan as' box.
Much like the Deadpool character itself
aw man, not sure someone posted this already
but I went to the market and saw this:

Check out Issue 6 and see how it's wrapped up, or lack thereof. I read it twice now, and I'm still speechless. Some of that art is incredibly sickening though.

I picked up Ringside #1 today from Travelling Man in Newcastle. They had about 20 issues sitting on the shelf, all priced up at £2 so I can only assume they've overstocked or not selling very well. It was also my Wife's first real visit to the comic store, and she had a little look around. Imagine my surprise when she stopped at the Manga section and started to flick through some of the books... she was reading Love at 14 or something. However, she didn't like that the books were all 'backwards'.

There were lots of bodies in Travelling Man, but not many buying. It really felt like they were browsing so they could go and buy online haha
Travelling Man do have a great selection of board games, and I know this is a topic for another thread, I really need to pluck up the courage to collar my friends and try some out (so expensive though).

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Finished the first All Star Superman book (issues #1-6). I was lukewarm on the first few issues, but then it started to get a lot better. The time-traveling issue and Kent interviewing Luthor in prison were both great. I've only read a little bit of Morrison's work, but there is a lot of expositional dialogue in this book, which I'm not a fan of. I'll still pick up the second volume though.

Haha. Issues 1-2 are FINE. Very simple compared to the fuckery that follows. Issue 4, especially, is when shit completely hits the fan. It destroys the fucking fan even.

Ah, nice I'll check it out on Wednesday. I've just finished reading #1 of Ringside this afternoon, and while it's currently not exactly what I thought it would be I'm still sort of interested. It's currently focusing on one character (an old wrestler who seems to have fallen out of favour with the North American wrestling circuit and retired in Japan) return to America to help an old friend.
I thought it be based around a wrestling promotion and all the antics involved, so I'm a little disappointed in that regard. However, I'll give it a few more issues before ultimately judging it. I'm also not sure I like the art style too much (Nick Barber), I'm not even sure how to describe it (abstract? vague?) and it might even be the brown tones of the colouring I'm not a fan of.
It's odd as I really like the cover art, it works for me there, but just not on every page.

I wanted a book that was more about the actual wrestling too. Plus the art is just too basic for me.

Yeah, this is the first time I've felt like (I don't know the right term but...) an 'art snob' while reading through a book. I don't know, maybe I've been spoilt with some great art during those early Marvel books. I mean even The Walking Dead shows how you can do some great art work without having to be cutting edge. However, I am more disappointed that so far the book isn't just backstage/behind the scenes shenanigans of a wrestling promotion.
I think that dawned on me on the cliffhanger of #1 where Dan Knossos was beaten to a pulp and then goes to his Batgirl friend to get a bunch of guns. I have no idea where it's going now.

I barely know what day it is right now. I spent 10 minutes refreshing Humble Bundle's main page until I realised today is Monday.
As far as comics:
Marvel:
Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin #1 of 5
Rocket Raccoon & Groot #1
DC:
Harley Quinn & Power Girl #6 of 6
Others:
Jughead #3 (Archie)
James Bond 007: Vargr #3 (Dynamite)
Jem & The Holograms #10 (IDW)
Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers #2 of 5 (IDW)
Black Magick #3 (Image)
Rat Queens #14 (Image)
Rumble #10 (Image)
Is there a comic book equivalent to Dry January? I think I need it.

I've been reading the first issue via the Web comic and it's absolutely hilarious. Does it keep up that humour the whole way though?

Does the Manhattan Projects delve into American history? Also should I pick up The Manhattan Projects: The Sun Beyond the Stars as well?
