I'm still confused as to why Colossus is in the Deadpool movie. Do him and Wade have much of a history? Otherwise my assumption is because they needed a recognizable straight man and since establishing Cable in the same movie would be rough...

That is the new Colossus actor. Cudmore is out.
I'm ok with Colossus being a major villain for the movie. I just want more Colossus. And Ice-man.

I'm taking advantage of the Image sale to catch up on some Bitch Planet. Its one of those titles I've been curious about, and the #1 was promising.
Also bought Phonogram #1.

Colossus isn't a villain. He's more like a babysitter.
It's the token X-Man, so non-comic folks have some idea that Deadpool belongs to the same universe.
The real question is, why are they using Negasonic Teenage Warhead? She's pretty obscure.

Where's this image sale? I checked CMX but couldn't find anything. Is it US only?
Something taking place within the 35 year Gap about the Rise of the First Order, or the Republic at height of its power.

Thank you my fellow Footie fan! GO SOUNDERS!
Nah, it's international, but it's one of those code discount things so they don't advertise them in the app.
The Adventures of Saché
In keeping with my very behind schedule of seeing things, likely influenced by years of netflix waiting for thing, I just saw the trailer to Legends of Tomorrow. I'm so happy that TV is this dumb. Dr. Who/C-tier Leaguers. Really, though, if they are going to have Flash be different for the movies, just let the TV verse have cameos with Batman and Supes. You already have J'onn on Supergirl. Also, J'onn is on TV soon! What! I need to get on this Supergirl show at some point.

Peter David Supergirl, Mark Waid Flash, and Dixon Nightwing are some good 90s books.

Depends. Do you like seeing characters you enjoy systematically killed off one after the other?
In all seriousness, it has ups and downs. Overall, it's pretty good.

I vote pass. That book after the first arc starts wandering and then pissing me off to the point I dropped it.
Hmm, I just double checked and it looks like he took down the web comic version of the first volume. Thankfully nothing is gone forever from the internet, so you can still peep it here - https://web.archive.org/web/20150721010342/http://www.godhatesastronauts.com/
Great books. I really hope you enjoy low. It's fantastic.
I should have some impressions up after Christmas

Oh cool, I wasn't aware it was on there too. I actually went to the US https://imagecomics.com/ page. I assume they're the same titles on special.
Is the current Humble Bundle worth buying? I've noted a few comments here about Lumberjane but I haven't heard of most of the titles listed.
I really like it, but it is partly because I'm a sucker for McKelvie art and Gillen letter pages.
First two volumes are sensational. Third volume is...uh...well...you can basically skip it.

Is MP getting another hardcover soon? I wanna get into that book. It was too much to keep up with monthly. All that science stuff is hard to follow with a 30-day gap between issues.
Not everyone can be Silk.
So, I hit volume 7 of BPRD: Hell on Earth last night. Not surprised to see that
is indeed causing some serious issues finally, as one would expect. Also, I'm really glad I did decide to follow a reading order on the Mignolaverse stuff. Like, it's not "essential", but it helps keep some nice continuity between the titles. For example, the order had me read Hellboy in Hell right before this, because the whole
thing got slightly referenced in this volume of BPRD.

It is still full of both girls and hijinks.

MP hardcover vol 2 is supposed to come out Feb 13th.

This isn't Sunstone.
I thought it was cute, kinda jarring that this is the same Hellcat who went to Hell for the time being.
Why She Hulk fired her makes no sense unless it's building up to A-Force?

I agree with this. It was basically a worse Doctor Strange in every way. Uglier, less creative world, less funny, and nowhere near as imaginative.
It has been surprisingly easy to trim down some of the ANAD books from my list. I've already dropped 2/3 of them, with some others close. Of course, I'm still reading 15 different titles so well played, Marvel.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Perfect way to describe it tbh. I won't be picking up issue 2. Dr. Strange will do. Been a fun little book too imo

I really liked Hellcat. The art was really charming and it overall felt like a mix between Squirrel Girl and Howard. But with less super heroics then either, which I dugged.
Speaking of books that felt like mixtures, Starbrand and Nightmask felt like a mix between Squirrel Girl (again) and Ms.Marvel, but not anywhere near as good as either, and with art that felt like it came from a mid 2000's web Comic. It has an interesting angle with the slice of life comedy mixed in with some Avengers/Cosmic level super heroics, but based on the first issue it just didn't meet them.
What's everyone's opinion on the new Venom book? I was really excited for it at first, with Robbie Thompson writing it ( I liked his work on Silk). The art is really awesome in a very different way, but I think the style kind of lends to it overall feeling very static. The first two issues have felt OK, but outside of some darker jokes from his new sucidal robot pal I don't find myself looking forward to much from it. It's certainly on the chopping block.

Yeah, Strange is top of my list. I thought I'd love it going in and it hasn't disappointed. The real surprises to me are Vision (hate the character), Thor (I skipped the previous Foster books), and Uncanny Inhumans. I love all three books.
I also like Karnak (RIP, Warren Ellis), Ms. Marvel, Angela, Captain America, and Daredevil.
Biggest let downs are all the team Avengers books. Uncanny Avengers is trash. ANAD Avengers is going nowhere. New Avengers has one character I even like and a bunch of lane filler characters. How did Marvel jack up the Avengers on a relaunch?
It's wild that Ramos' art alone makes Extraordinary X-Men a better book than all the Avengers titles combined. I'm reading an X-Men title not named Uncanny X-Force in 2015 and enjoying it for its insanity.
Yep, the second hardcover (which I'm guessing will cover the rest of the original series) drops in February.
