I keep hearing they were forgettable. Not as crazy as Morrison.
I liked Hulk, loved the little nods that Jen is not She Hulk, she's just Jen, seeing her apartment bulit for for a 7 foot woman, not a 5'ish woman, she has a ticking time bomb inside her
Also dug Rocket Raccoon, this is gonna be a interesting one since the Young run was a wacky space adventure.
My run was light AF aside from Uncanny Avengers and Spider Woman.

I dig the design of the hermit woman. Was she suppose to be an Inhuman?

honestly the run right after isnt even bad, Rachel Pollack's. She's transexual woman, so its actually pretty fascinating when she tackles topics about sexual identity in the book.
But the last issue of Morrison/Case's Doom Patrol is like the best ending. Like the best fuckin ending in comics. Like that should have just cancelled all future Doom Patrol comics because that was it, baby. So I dont get around to recommending them.
Good stuff.
Also I had a successful surgery guys but sitting up is very painful. So no comics for me this week.

The problem with many of Johns' recent runs is he's always planning the NEXT BIG THING rather than just telling a damn story.
Very fair point. Part of the problem of being the big guy in charge, I guess. Always having to think about what's coming next.

Y'all like that sort of thing, right?

just the DC linewide sale for tonight.
The real reason Saga got pushed back.
Fuck yes you are right! just saved me some money
Does Archie 2015 go on sale regularly or ever? Kinda bummed it isnt part of the current Comixology Sale. (New to the game so no idea about sales patterns and such)
try Cmx Unlimited. allows you to read the first 6 issues.

Any impressions of Image's Cannibal?

Rarely and their books don't drop in price after 1-2 months like image/idw and dark horse. DC used to do it too but not anymore.
I don't think Archie is worth the 4 dollars either.

It's rare that they go on sale. Happens like once or twice a yearDoes Archie 2015 go on sale regularly or ever? Kinda bummed it isnt part of the current Comixology Sale. (New to the game so no idea about sales patterns and such
It may go on sale next month for the first episode of Riverdale.Does Archie 2015 go on sale regularly or ever? Kinda bummed it isnt part of the current Comixology Sale. (New to the game so no idea about sales patterns and such
I don't agree with this.
those 6 issues did nothing for me. kinda glad I didn't pay for anything past the #1. or I would of been salty
Maybe Archie isn't for you. I thought it was really refreshing. Just fun.
felt like it was trying to prove to me how fun it was but that wasn't getting across through the writing. the breakup issue was decent. kinda of a let down. overall
Flow's Omega Men summary.
Omega Men is one hell of a series because:
1. it doesn't feel like a cape book
2. it is not for kids. Like seriously this is King's most violent book.
3. Tom king is not afraid of writing about religion. The way he ties Earth's religion with the Aliens is genius.
then it goes further:
1.we get a complete breakdown of Kyle as a lantern and his resolve.
2. the people we are led to believe are bad are actually morally grey. Like they all have pretty solid reasons for what they do. Hell when you find out about the Robot and scrapps. you just feel like crying .
3. This series is not afraid to kill off characters.
The series also gives us probably one of the most ruthless characters ever.
The princess
she is like black cat and cat woman but on a whole nother league.
Even at the end of the of series the ending is not necessary a good one. The problems The omega men faced in the book is not something that can be resolved by killing bad guys.
The book feels like one giant space epic and that is rare these days. I fully recommend this series for the 6 bucks it is going for. Did the best I could do Vanwrinkle.
I put vision slightly above due to vision being a tighter book.

I MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH prefer that she stays on Saga.
yea King did a great job of bringing realism and ideologies into a space fiction book.
I think Omega Men and Sheriff are the type of books you could write essays and teach classes on.
Well I mean yeah but both would have been cool.
Yeah she was only able to do the 3 issues of Archie on her break between Saga arcs.
Ah okay. There did look fantastic though.
Spiderman #11
the issue was about Mile's dad and it was probably one of the best written issues yet. Like damn. On one hand Bendis needs to stop playing around and give us more Miles. On the other hand every issue has been fantastic.
The series is moving slow, but idc at this point. this is one of my favorite books.
Thanos #2
Not a fan of Thanos, but Lemire is writing one interesting book about him. This is the baddest dude in the Galaxy. Watching him rekt is entertaining. Can't believe I am pulling a Thanos solo book in 2016.

Absolutely, She is amazing.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone been keeping up with how well CMX and MU have been in filling in their old gaps? Like, are things still added on a pretty frequent and hefty basis, or no? And how bad are the holes nowadays? Like, obviously they're definitely, definitely not even close to something that could be reasonably called "done". But, like, how many big old runs are actually filled in completely? Like, say, I'm guessing neither likely have all of the Spider-man related stuff even, but what about just the main run of Amazing Spider-man? And if so, then how about Spectacular Spider-man? Or, like, the X line in general? Or Batman and Detective Comics?
They ran concurrently

PSA: If any one has not been keeping up with One Piece, now is the time to jump back on. Things are moving up a couple of gears!

Man. I hate that. Do you know which one started first so I know what order to read them in?

I never even started it. Not going to at this point. How many chapters are they up to these days?

Current chapter is 850.
Thanks for this. Already been on the US Jump train since it launched (and years and years back into the physical before that happened), but I was about to run out in about a month and totally would've missed this code when I went to renew.

I'm pretty sure Forever Evil started first, but I don't have anything handy to check

I know the number looks daunting but the quality has been consistently great. Most arcs I would rate an 8/10 or a 9/10 with maybe a couple of arcs dropping down to 7/10. The world building remains consistent and expansive, possibly one of my favourites in any medium.
