Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine and Spider-Man/Human Torch I'm with Stupid are probably the two best buddy team up comics out there.
Chew is a pretty fantastic buddy cop story. Its nearly over and will be 60 issues I believe when it ends.
The single issues actually have the awesome backup "real legends of Hollywood" sections. I'd avoid the trades completely. Who knows who thought that pricing was a good idea.

I don't really know what Lazarus is like so I'll do what I always do and recommend Manifest Destiny.

The Ex-Heroes series is good, pulpy fun:
There's four books so far, and the fifth is out in February.
And I love the Reckoners series, but I'm a big Sanderson fan, so YMMV:
A movie version is currently in development.
Hmm this Siege New Mutants tie in was cool, great art. Next issue is a Second Coming tie-in, maybe I should read that one after Siege. That's where they introduced grown up Hope right?
But if I read second coming I should read the baby hope one first, whatever it was called. These MU holes one falls into man ;_;

I have all of EX heroes but haven't read them yet. And Steelheart is almost too good.
Speaking of Inhumans, what's the deal with Karnak? This release schedule is slow as shit. That first issue hooked me.

Red One might be one of the worst comics I've read in 2015.
Would love to see a Steelheart comic.
Welcome to a Warren Ellis book

Btw previewsworld marvel books for this week changed again. On Twitter it Seems there was a shipping error and books were going to release a week early so they were asked to hold them back for a week. So it's a small marvel week again.

Hey, there's your down payment for the Captain Marvel PF.
They are still coming out next week with more books brah. This isn't like the situation where a figure gets delayed and you buy another . Pls be sensible with your money.

I finished Bendis's DD run and got through Brubaker's up to him releasing the Kingpin from jail. Only about 12 issues in, I honestly think I already like Brubaker's run more. Primarily because he actually knows how to do dialogue and doesn't have like 2000 speech bubbles per page.
Also got the Walking Dead Compendium 2 for Christmas. Got about halfway through and I definitely think it is not as good as the first one. There was some awful stuff happening there, but it felt a lot more "grounded." I hate using the word "edgy" to describe any form of media because I feel like it's a cop-out insult for things that try for more difficult or extreme subject matter but this definitely fits the bill. Everything related to the twin boys had my eyes rolling and then what they did to the hunters was just... lol. It's probably a good thing the television show never got into this kind of stuff. I mean, it's still damn entertaining but feels a lot trashier.

But I'm sure that's how you're supposed to do it. You don't end up with 200 of these things by accident.

Brubaker has always had an excellent handle on writing street-level crime books and spy fiction. I would highly suggest you check out Criminal and Velvet if you think that sounds like something you'd enjoy.

It's politics are pretty laughable. The Obama esque president and evil republican ex president is not realistic at all. For me events started happening that I didn't like, and then I felt like the story should be wrapping up but kept meandering. I could go on more but it'd be spoilers and in the end what they teased at the start isn't what I hoped the book would be now.
In other news all I did today was play Bloodborne. But! I completed the DLC and its trophies and now I decided to get the platinum which means I've been diving into chalice dungeon grind. I think I'm halfway there but it's really getting tough. I'm level 124! On my first playthrough. Hah. But what I've read the chalice dungeons are a fixed difficulty so I'm probably close to scale for it now.
Surely you didn't mean to buy 200 right?

Nah, it just kinda happened. In fact, I'm sure the second hundred were ordered while the first hundred were in delay limbo.
