From what I've seen from people that got into Valiant, it's just a matter of finding the one title that clicks with a person. The Valiant was that for me, but it has been different for different people.
But yeah, WCNGH. That $10 trade is one of the best experiences in comics.

It's a quarterly comic, so you didn't miss out on much (or anything, really)

Yeah, #2 came out this week. I'm really liking the quarterly format; the length of time between issues makes you go "oh sweet, new Head Lopper!" like it's a surprise when a new one comes out, but there's so much content in each issue that you feel full of comic when you're done reading it.

New spider-man >>>> traditional spider-man
The traditional May/MJ/Bugle/poor spider-man shtick is just tired as fuck at this point.
USE PARKER INDUSTRIES TO BRING BACK MOON KNIGHT MARVEL, I DON'T CARE HOW.

Deviations – Chris Ryall Discusses Departing from the Norm
Damn you, IDW. I'm getting all of these. I love What If? stories, even when they're bad. Actually, especially when they're bad.
I'm hype for the Transformers one especially, going all the way back to The Transformers: The Movie.

He's not really my favorite Robin either. I was one of the New 52 converts, and none of the older stuff I've read has really centered around him (except for some Teen Titans stuff, which is... not very good).
One good comic that I'm sure that people would enjoy here is called Birthright. Imagine a father stopping at a park with his kid playing ball, then the kid vanishes as he's talking on the phone with his wife. People try to find the kid and of course the father is accused of killing the kid. It destroys the family, he becomes a drunk who is still accused of having done the deed but there is no proof, his ex wife thinks he did it. The one other son still around has to deal with all this. Then one day, hey something happened, there's this strange man the cops have found that might have something to do with it all, he has the sons back pack and other items on him.
Its good stuff and vaguely reminds me of Saga in another way. If that's sci fi this one is fantasy based, only without all the nudity and sex.
The man is the son. It's only been a year but he's got a beard and is tough as hell, what's more he tells the investigators he got trapped in another land, one where he was the chosen hero prophesied to save the world and now he's back because he wanted to see his family. But is it the full truth?

Spidey and Spider-man are what you Read if you want the classic situation.
Still not feel Spidey. I dont like it when Books go back and shorehorn story in the canon.

So apparently Comixology was improperly charging me for tax on Marvel comics for the last half year. Instead of just sending a single email with how much I am getting refunded, they sent individual emails for each comic. I really don't need a 100+ emails telling me that I have been refunded between 1 to 4 cents.

New Catwoman team was painfully average. That my problem with a bunch of comics lately is everything has been average for the most part. Cape books can't make up their mind in which direction they want to go. I'm starting to think the days of getting epic runs like Doom Patrol, Animal Man, Planetary are over. Indie books have been deluded by their quality if that makes sense. So many fucking great books, you can't read them all. Then you drop something that you liked but maybe just didn't stand out or you thought it was slow moving and you try a new book and it starts off strong and you get excited. Then that book eventually falls to the same fate and I'm experiencing all these stories but never getting a resolution. I understand this is more of a problem with me and not the industry itself but I find my excitement for this hobby dwindling because of it.
My 2015 standouts
Tom King books. Dude is a comic superstar to me and is on his way on becoming a great like Morrison, Moore, Ellis, etc.
Snyders Batman. Always enjoyable. Love that Joker.
Star Wars books. See my rant above? These are great fun because they are filling holes by stories that I know and love.
Deadly Class. The only Image book that has not once....not once I swear, ever fell into average territory for even a single issue.
Justice League. Been on fire since FE ended.
Animal Man omnibus. Seems to be the birth place of some of Morrisons universal themes across all his books.

Legendary runs don't come along yearly, but we just got to the end of Daredevil and I feel like that run can easily sit there with the best runs out there. Snyder is crafting what will likely go down as a legendary run on Batman.

It actually doesn't or I'm just not sure what you're saying lol
Also, that's not really fair to say. I think The Valiant was at that level, at least it was for me.

agreed, even just marvel side
Hickmans Avengers run can only be described as epic
you would probably have to pry Wilson with a crowbar to get her off Ms Marvel so we will likely get a 35-50 issue run from her
if book stores sales hold up i imagine we will have unbeatable squirrel girl for a long time
aaron is likely to stay on thor for a while longer. hes already been on the title 3 years i think
we have no reason to believe slott and allred will be off silver surfer any time soon
bendis's run on x-men just finished. between the two titles its like 70 issues right?
we still get long running titles that are well received critically. we just get more issues in a shorter time period.
nostalgia is such funny thing. there were so many average and forgettable comics at the same time we got those runs Korupt is talking about but we forget about them because they were really average and forgettable

Kinda like drug use. Someone tries a drug and that first high is amazing to them. But nothing after that first great high can ever be matched ever again. So they try different types, different drugs and eventually it all bleeds together and it's all the mundane. Best way I can put it lol. Probably still doesn't make sense but to me, I am overwhelmed by the amount of books I want to experience vs continuing a book that gave me a good high but has never matched it.

Oh ok, that makes sense
But wait, why does that only happen to you with indie books? :l
77 issues between Uncanny and All New. Personally I think that run is absolutely incredible. But a lot of people wouldn't agree with me. Then again there are legendary runs that I don't enjoy, doesnt make them any lesser.
Btw I see on Wikipedia that Triage is listed as part of the new Uncanny team. When did that get announced?
Aaron can stay as long as he likes on Thor. I think he is fantastic. Long may Dauterman stay on that book too.
I'd be willing to throw Bendis Miles stuff on there as a great run.

Because cape books are all bundled as one drug (same story universe) where as indie books are more varied. I could get my weekly pull and first read is a horror book, next one hijinx, next fantasy......

We posting tops? Damn it. Read too many good books this year.
Got tanked by Kurt Darkholme, though:
And a lot of X-Men talk.
Yup. Though it seems to be difficult for him. I suppose. He's not AoA Bobby, who just loves murdering people, so he embraced his powers for all the murdering people.

Not as brutal as Blob's death, but still. Brutal enough.

Hey guys. Read The Goon Library Edition Vol. 1 over the last week and I loved it. It's was the funnest comic I ever read. Really made me feel better. Can't wait until the second volume comes out.
Speaking of fun comics, I'm reading the first volume of Lil Gotham. It's awesome. Wonderful art and delightful characterizations set in various holidays make every chapter a treat to read.

If one thing annoys me about image books is how many of those books clearly only have enough of a story for one volume and then they scramble to create stuff following the first arc. Its why so many people drop off after the first volume. How many of you have vol 1's on your shelf that you read and never continued? Sure part of it is the $10 price but there is also a lack of story going forward. There are so few books that can stay solid for 10-20-30 issues. Its part of what has been so impressive to me about Saga, Deadly Class, Chew ect.

Previously announced DC mini-series to instead be published as 'Legends of Tomorrow' anthology beginning March 2016 (CBR)
Does that mean Sugar & Spike are going to appear on the CW show?
