My guess before bed: Book is ending but Taylor is writing a All-New All-Different Fantastic Four book spinning out of Ghost Rider.
my pull list looks like pre Venom Messi. can't count it.
Wouldn't be surprised if they changed the title to something simpler. "wolverine" The wolverine" and ect.
I would hope so. she isn't shown so far to be in any of the new books. Keep a good thing going

Sunspot jumping ship to DC! I'm ok with that!
Are any of the current X-books on MU worth reading? I don't really like Extraordinary X-Men. That Weapon X really got my hopes up, and dashed it with the Land-man.
IST order came in
Omega Men
Batman: Kinghtfall
Shade the Changing Man vol 2
Monster Vol 2.
Need all that 90's Dixon Batman in my veins. I should really pick up the Birds of Prey Vol 2, and Robin Vol 3 just came out. Much excitement.
How's that Vigilante mini?

There are usually some of those every week.

Definitely a good week for me. I have 8 books coming out which is like my second biggest week since Secret Wars ended last year.
I also noticed Animosity #1 is getting a 5th printing. I think it's safe to call that one a hit now.

I'm so happy for Bennett and her team and for Aftershock. Well deserved success.
Both of the Aftershock books I'm pulling are among my favorite current books

I know! I can't believe it is still two weeks away
Every week it does not come out I am sad. Pretty much since I read the first issue
I only have a 2 year backlog of Gotham Academy to go through. No shame.

I just read it a few days ago myself. Thought it was a nice bounce back issue after #2 was a little disappointing.

Yeah I was gonna say the same thing. Can't wait for #4.

Finished rereading volume. 1 of Dial H this evening. Still a really great read, certainly one of the most unique books of the new 52. Really gets going after the first few issues. Reading his novel The Scar right now too.

Have you ever read the dial h series before it? It was a while ago and probably hard to track down now but I found it really interesting. The series would bounce from character to character each issue or so
Speaking of catching up on things, was everyone down on the Monster Men arc on Batman? This stuff is great! Rossomo has a pretty big issue with all the faces looking the same, but I enjoy his style otherwise.
Also, some of the moments in this arc are on point. Spoilers for the most fun bits about the arc.
The only downside to this is that it switched gears on 3 books that I really enjoyed to begin with. I guess the ending didn't hit great for me. I also wasn't paying super close attention to the thread in October (was focused on grad school interviews.) Certainly worth a read in trade if you want some dumb fun.

Clayface as Batman armor, perfect. Batman and Co vs Kaiju, sign me up. Tengu Nightwing, yes please.And, by god, for a second they had me truly believe Batman had turned a few towers in to mecha. He didn't, but watching the Bat Rangers go down those tubes, I really thought a Megazord was in the works. Bravo.

I haven't actually! Very much came to the book for Mieville, and I have little familiarity with DC stuff outside of Batman before the new 52. Who was the writer?

Always see these much later, sorry. Work!
'Tec was my favorite Rebirth run, right up to the crossover that managed to crush three books. The new arc that just kicked off is regressive story bullshit I've read seventeen times before handled better by better writers. It adds nothing to the Bat universe.
King's Batman has been flawed from the jump and it seems a lot of the reviewing community is finally coming around to that view. Ultimately, what matters is your opinion, so if you liked what you read you'll likely still like it. I think it's an objectively terrible read on the character and what makes him great. What makes him great. What makes him great...
You got me. The CIA assassin is my nemesis. Does it hurt your narrative that his Vision run is my book of the year? I can change that to support your post!
Outside of a couple of books, Rebirth could be named Retread. It's safe, conventional appealing to past iconography of characters. I'm struggling to think of a single event in a single book with any lasting impact. Even the BIG SHOCKING EVENT in the Bat universe will return to status quo in the near future in some rehashed event.
As a final line of defense, it's is silly to defend my opinion after trying literally all but two Rebirth books for multiple issues. I went in super hyped and wanted to love everything. I bought everything. I'm still pulling six Rebirth titles. I just don't have wool over my eyes here. You gotta recognize this stuff for what it is versus what we thought it would be. Sales will keep sagging until we shift to monthly releases with less decompression and more substance.
I only read the first issue but I thought it was only decent. It's still on my pull list because I pre-order up #4 on dcbs.

Will pfiefer it was called H.E.R.O and lasted 22 issue. Only one trade and not on CMX. But it was cool. Hope DC/CMX get to it once the finish with some of the other releases they're working through.

That
last page made it seem like she was unhinged. The art also made her look crazy although I could be wrong as the art was shit.
