Cave Carson is good because Tom Scioli draws the back ups
FUCKING DEAD.
sorry for caps
wow I didn't even know yah left it out.
oops. give me a sec to fix it
I believe that decision was out of my hands. I am fairly sure I sent a list that included cave. Or maybe that was this month.
Feel free to tell me which young animal book you would like dropped going forward as we can only have 3.
I've been randomly selecting the two that aren't Doom Patrol each month. No conspiracy here.

Cave has the best backups by far
It was already gone from next month lol. I'm trying to rotate the non Doom Patrol books. I refuse to drop Doom Patrol.

Dump the separate Young Animal section altogether. If they're good enough to highlight, put them in the DC section where they belong. An imprint with four mediocre comics getting its own section is silly.
It would make more sense to highlight Hanna-Barbera, tbh.

DC has too many books to roll them back in. I already considered Hanna.

drop DC
we can stop pretending we care about Suicide Squad and Supergirl now

True or your wish list?
COMICS-GAF should be...

IDW
Marvoo
DCCCCC
BOOM!
Indies
NOTHING ELSE!
A Joelle Jones Supergirl book was always going into the op. Suicide Squad made it because I love that cover.

Nah, not my fault. I had Cave in the lineup initially, but Messi specifically requested Shade #3. And I wasn't dumping Doom Patrol or Mother Panic. Those books are actually good.

I miss the guy who would post his pulllist in image form and 90% of it was Archie trades and Zenescope books.
Also, the issue of MMPR where the new Ranger's origin is revealed had better be on there the month it releases, or I will write a strongly worded letter.
The only things up for debate is whether the werewolf book stars Archie and if the Sabrina book is a part of the new Riverdale line, but those seem pretty obvious. The creative teams are confirmed and everything else is spoonfed to us.

Doesn't Marvel publish a larger number of books than DC? Don't they have only one section? I'm trying to understand the internal logic here.
Harley Quinn is the real problem. A deplorable comic, in the Hillary Clinton use of the word. Irredeemable. Still tends to make the list. I think two Gaffers buy it...maybe?
Spoilers
DC (YA and Hanna)
Marvel

Dark Horse
Valiant
Boom

This is next month's lineup. IDW is in indie. Picking IDW books was a struggle.
I pick Harley Quinn because I like the book. I'm sorry if it being featured offends you.
If Marvel had an imprint id feature that too.
Let's not make this a DC vs Marvel thing again.
Is the Kevin and Reggie books part of the New Riverdale?
YOU FOOL! Unless the OP has Wasp, then, everything is fine...
Also, are you gonna trim the lists to 6 to avoid clutter?

Some publishers get 6, some get 9 depending on their general output. DC, Image and Marvel usually get 9.
Wasp is in next month.
We aren't cutting marvel or DC's books. It really doesn't affect people post page one. I think there are less books in other parts. Maybe.
DC marvel and image are very easy to pick 9 books.

ROM Annual, Micronauts Annual, BTTF: Biff to the Future and Lost Light #2 for sure. I guess MASK or GI Joe (they have Skywarp as a member now FFS!) and one of the Turtles books and you're set.
The best part is that most of these books will still be around after DC pulls the plug on Young Animal!

I'm not, and you know it. Very easy strawman to make, but ignoring my point.
I'm saying your argument is that DC has too many books to fold Young Animal in to its section, when Marvel has one section and publishes more books than DC + YA + Hanna combined. How does Star Wars not have its own section? That's a completely separate universe with sales that crush what YA is seeing. Tons of us read those books. Do they have a different section?
Your OT, your rules. Just an odd, misleading way to explain why YA needs its own place.
I'm pretty sure it is, but that book is actually a five issue mini.
Oh I could pick them. I even had a list this month. But other months eh. 3 titles sure.
It has a section because we want to highlight it. We wanted to highlight aphra this month so we did. The OT has no rules and acting like we have some vendetta against marvel is hilarious considering what books I pull.

so much discussion and argument for an OP most people glance at for 30 seconds and never look at again
We decided to pick 9 books for DC and Marvel being the big two. I cut many books from both companies, originally we had Young Animal as a separate thing for its launch. Freeza wanted it gone a month or two ago and I stopped him. Apparently this bothers Tragic so going forward we won't have young animal as a separate thing going forward.

I put in the ROM Annual. I swapped out some dumb Transformers book for it.
Seems really shortsighted when we've had multiple threads in Off Topic lately about MTMTE/Lost Light. But ye have your biases, and that's fine. Everyone does. If I was making it I'd change the format entirely and it'd probably be like the Steam thread with people submitting blurbs for upcoming books. 54 books in an OP seems like madness to me. The "make it yourself" argument will be invoked and we'll go around in circles on this. Again. Yet again.
Bring back sillymonkey, goddamnit.
.
I had nothing to do with that company. I only pull Jem stuff
Let's be honest. None of you give a fuck about the OT.

People are really getting angered over Best Of lists. lol
One list that for some reason people decided that the dude who wrote it is some ambassador of comics.

That cleverly ignores my "your OT, your rules" response. My point wasn't about a vendetta. It was about you saying there's too much DC to roll them together, when Marvel publishes more books and has one section.
Found those DC Bombshells mini vinyl figures at Walmart today. Some jerk opened the entire case of blind boxes and I'm guessing took all of the Harley,Ivy and the b&w variant Wonder Woman/Harley.
I looked through what was left and got Batwoman,Canary and Flash. Much cleaner paint than what Funko shits out at the same price point.

All I was saying is I didn't want to drop mainline dc books for young animal so we had a separate section. We should have had one for Star Wars but we didn't think of it. It's not an issue now as the section is gone. So that can be the end of this.

If your list doesn't have Remender and any of his artists we can't be friends and your list is pure garbage. GARBAGE.
