Nice haul. Love that iZombie omnibus.
Great series, in part because of how it flows from dark to humorous to dramatic. And I'm amused by some of the violence at times because were it humans the book could be called straight up gory every once and a while. It's an odd thing that makes it a very unique read.
There was some dude who changed his name to [insert spoiler] on CS:GO a week ago or so that kept posting in the chat so his name would remain up there. I called him out on it.

Someone made a thread on reddit about the one big spoiler thing, so always when someone search on a iPhone for one of the involved characters, the spoiler pop up.
And lol, my father straight out told it my brother when he asked him how the movie was when he was driven home for christmas what happens, my brother was so pissed.

This happened to me as well, but I had already seen the film. I quit most of the internet for close to a week. It was hell.

Tim's anti sales equation not only cancels his fave titles but makes the worse when they come back.
I blame what happened to Manhattan Projects on Tim

Yeah it's....something. The whole
hostage situation with Maximus was real as fuck
I really enjoy the book, but the art style really makes the dark tone unexpected. It works, though. Very engaging.

Impossible, Elsa is in it.
He is a dickhead in that issue.
A character in Batgirl acting out of character? /shock
I was led to believe I would enjoy it. Now that I think about it... I think it was Freeza who recommended it. Oh god I've made a huge mistake. I accidentally bought Mangas
Oh indeed

--So really, all the bases are pretty covered.
Maybe? Looking at this month's issue specifically, it was probably written three different times: the first twelve issue pitch, then as the last issue when it was cancelled, and then again when it was resurrected, all of which led to a bad comic. The series as a whole though needs to pick up the pace a bit.
Our there's this, which is just as likely:
Loved how she was introduced and her origin was told.
Was there anything pre New 52 on her beside Elegy?
And Overture will be most likely be bought. Ext

Ultra Magnus is my favourite character in the whole thing.
I...may have bought his newest toy in the post-Christmas sales. I haven't bought a Transformer for a long time, not since Animated (where I own every major character except for regular deco Magnus, though I do have Roadbuster Ultra Magnus).
I miss Transformers Animated so much. Prime and RiD are good, but Animated, I loved that show.

Do they still make high-complexity ones? I remember treating them more like puzzles than action figures when I was a kid, that might be something I'm interested in.

Sheriff of Babylon #1 was definitely some brilliant stuff.

After Vol. 3 make sure to read Transformers Dark Prelude
It features stories that take place during Vol. 1-3 that will be important by Vol. 5, trust me on this.
Glad you're enjoying it, and just to give you more reason to keep reading this title
James Roberts, author of MTMTE was given the Outstanding Writer Award 2015
I'm late to this mainly as I was busy gaming and with the Winter Seal but I am so happy for him and the recognition.

The mass-market ones have moved to simpler transformations, because they were simply too hard for kids (and they drove the parents absolutely nuts). That's mostly the Robots in Disguise and movie-based lines though (Age of Extinction's toys were so dissapointing, some of the ROTF and DOTM ones were works of engineering brilliance), the IDW-based ones are fairly tricky sometimes, though they're easier than they were. The Combiner Wars combiners themselves are pretty simple.
The fan-made ones are basically very pretty rubix cubes. Complex, awesome, and very pricey.

Doh! I would have spent under $20 on comics today if I remembered to take Rat Queens out of my cart before finalizing. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
And that's with six back-issues of Manifest Destiny.
There is also fan-made Transformers hentai. :O

Sorry if this isn't allowed to be posted in here, but I'm selling my trades/deluxe editions. I've listed them in the B/S/T thread. Figured I'd link it here in case anyone is interested.

I have 17 left
I keep looking at the image sale and keep thinking that the Steam Sale was pretty poor and there's still some money to be spent... but then our first kid is due next week so I'm like ah maybe not.
I was talking to my friend, and was pretty excited about (Season 6 Spoilers and Comic #100+ spoilers)
Negan/Larger World/All Out War. So I'm itching to get reading that. However I can't take the TV show seriously knowing how badly they messed up Carl compared to the comics. I guess we got a crazy Carol instead, but we not both!
Also I watched The Mist the other day and half the cast of Season 1 of Walking Dead are in it!

haha yeah I've already spent a fair bit on The Walking Dead this month (and I just saw there were big bundles available with huge savings >.<). I'm quickly falling in love with Image publications though
- The Walking Dead
- Sage
- Elephantmen
Are all on my radar now.

I had a sneaky little read of Xmen '92 (2015) #1 on Marvel Unlimited just now and there's a few random panels with huge editor corrections in red ink on them. It's first the I've ever seen that, it was sort of interesting.

Do you mean Saga?
I read Elephantmen for a good while and enjoyed it. I got tired at one point and just stopped. Maybe I should check it out again.
Mr. Luchador
Member
Yeah, I meant Saga (sorry). I haven't read Elephanmen yet, other than the exert shared at on the back of a Walking Dead issue. However, it really caught my attention so I'll check it out at some point.
Witch Doctor also looked interesting, if anyone has read that and can shed some thoughts on it.
Well it took long enough to whittle down, but my top 10 comics of 2015 list ran today in The Dallas Morning News. Let me know what you guys think.

Fuck yeah, Archie.
You picked a nice mix of stuff, there's something there for most people I think.

I just realized that im going through the Bendis phase that you all went through over the years. I kept defending him this past year, but the rage is piling up lately. Im sure you are all numb to it now, but im going through it now and im sad
Im sitting here thinking of the end of Siege.
like what the FUCK IS THAT? that literally happens in the space of like 4 panels too lol >_<
it hurts guys...the Bendis... it hurts

Right?! Archie is stunning. Check out the new Patsy Walker book from Marvel too if you're into reinventions of serial characters. First issue was solid.
And thanks! It's always hard fighting personal convictions, my favorite characters, etc. But I think it worked out.

He has a great surname though - Bendis. Sounds like a brand name for some of moulded toy clay.
Oh man.Bendis is writing Civil War 2.
Civil War trailer:
Cap: But he's my friend
Tony: So was I.
Civil War 2:
Cap: Tony
Tony: yeah?
Cap: TONY.
Tony: i said yeah.
Cap: But he's my friend.
Tony: your friend?
Cap: yeah.
Tony: We used to be friends.
Cap: We used to be. Not anymore.
Tony: Why not?
Cap: What do you mean why not?
Cap: But he's my friend
Tony: So was I.
Civil War 2:

Bendis is writing Civil War 2.
Civil War II: The Battle for Kitty Pryde's Heart
Like all Marvel events, it starts great, then it Peters out.
Marvel pressing the panic button.
They meant to press the "More Inhumans Books!" button.
I'm sorry.
I really hope Midnighter gets a sales bump from making so many folks end of year best of lists. So far it's been immune to my anti-sales equation, but surely that luck will run out eventually.

Hey, you never know! I think even if the run fizzles out in sales they will bring him into the fold of another series. Probably Grayson.
Plus they'd be fools not to introduce Midnighter to TV or movie audiences. Plus Steve Orlando is just a really great dude.
