Yeah neither will always be the appropriate answer.
Y'all don't have to like her lol
Yes. It's a good set of books with some interesting characters. It's a shame that Frankenstein and Mister Miracle are not used more/more effectively now.

In hindsight, it's kind of amazing Frankenstein even got that New 52 series.

Wait, what happened to sillymonkey? Do they still post here?
Up to All-New Wolverine #13 and this series is good shit.

oh shit, I didn't realize the new Walking Dead from Telltale starts this month.
A terrible fate befell Sillymonkey, unfortunately. He became addicted to Overwatch.

And then he had a mod change his username to Owzers. Terrible, terrible.

I haven't read the second arc yet, but I assume they're still rolling with the Egyptian motif?
I agree, but I thought the various series filled an interesting niche for DC that nothing else really fills for them. That Hellboyesque monstrous horror/action niche that they haven't really had other than through Frankenstein.

I think they were just trying to throw together some drastically different books in an attempt to pull in new readers. A move that Marvel would later echo with the ANAD line.
Naw, this is straight up Fight Club without the bullshit
Agreed. Nu52 was very diverse to start with the Hex book, the war book, Demon Knights, etc...
While I think that the average quality of books is higher with Rebirth it's a shame that DC is so narrowly focused on traditional cape books for the most part.
I guess they at least have their other lines (Young Animals, Hanna Barbara) to give them a bit of breadth.

So I've been watching 2 (3 I guess) comic book related TV shows.
X-Men: Evolution is amazing starting at S3 when it becomes more of an X-Men, but high schoolers rather than X-Men as high-schoolers. Goth Rogue is the best thing ever.
I've also watched like 3 episodes of X-Men: TAS and holy crap the animation sucks and Wolverine is a loser. I also realized we've had only 3 X-Men cartoons in the span of 25 years, screw you Marvel.
Jessica Jones is good but it feels like everything not directly focused on Jessica/Kilgrave or Luke Cage kinda sucks. Maybe some of these subplots matter later on but they feel like a waste of time.

Just received my Sandman Overture Deluxe edition that I bought online at black friday and ... time for a Neil Gaiman collection pic !
...and to discover that Little Endless Storybook and Good Omens are lent to someone I don't remember =P
Fun facts here : Overture Deluxe is the only english edition there because it is taken so long to translate that, Brazil never got a translated version of absolut sandman volume 5, Dustcovers (the sandman cover artbook) here was published in 2 editions but I could only track down the first one since it had a very limited run, since the "not so good state" of the book (the one between Delirum's party and Overture Deluxe).

I think what they are currently doing is making sure that the core of their business is strong again before experimenting.
They learned their lesson with DCYou.
DCYou felt like such a half step and a half baked idea.
We Are Robin was a weird choice for the flagship book.
Good book though.

Hey now! I care about Supergirl!
Rom is best bookI put in the ROM Annual. I swapped out some dumb Transformers book for it.
Well FUCK you.
Seriously though I can understand the dislike. I enjoy that art style, but even then I have some difficulty following some action sequences.
And we are done.
The ot is not worth having a debate about post page one. I didn't even notice cave Carson was missing till someone told me.

Ok, all caught up on Wolverine. The most recent two issues had horrendous art *shutters* But I ended with the annual and that was so much fun. Gwen in Laura's body impaling herself had me rolling.
So now I've caught up on that, Black Panther, Jonsey, Hulk, and Spider-Man/Deadpool. Jonsey and Black Panther are awesome. Hulk is getting dropped (good, but not good enough).
Next up Rebirth Superman and Old Man Logan.

Don't worry, the Flow is wrong. Just ask the guys over at Slaent.
Those dudes got blown up.
Young Animal publishes 4 books a month. We can't have 4 books and keep it looking neat. 3 max. So one book a month misses out. Also the intent isn't to showcase every book. If that's what some of you are after then each company has monthly solicits.

I literally had never heard of them until the OP swipe. Is that a forum for banned Gaffers and deplorable Trump voters?

So instead of starting X-23 (I said I was last night but got only about three pages in before zonking out), I decided to start Ewing's Mighty Avengers (I bought all of it from my LCS. 3 trades at like, $15 apiece).
Honestly, Land's art isn't too bad here. Though I'm sure Ewing helps, as he's certainly a step up from Bunn on Uncanny X-Men

I looked for the thread that had the OT wholesale lifted from here, but I couldn't find it.

How are the stories in the X-Men Visionaries: Joe Mad collection?
Thinking of getting some of the comic work he's done in the past.

Did some reading this weekend!
Bought all of the Rebirth Superman comics on CMX after reading the first few at a friend's house. Really enjoy it, which is odd as I've never gotten into Supes in comic form. The issues with Jorge Jimenez art are gorgeous. Added Super Sons to my pull list
Wonderwoman #10 and #11 were good, as usual. Things are coming together there.
Doom Patrol #3... I'm dropping Doom Patrol. I enjoy the art, but the story is just gibberish to me. I think I have 2 more issues pre-ordered so I'll read those, but it is not for me.
I've started A.D. After Death, but wasn't in the mood for it. Will try again

Can you guys help me with a few doubts?
1)Never read Watchmen. So, should I try to buy the absolute, or wait for the collector's box edition?
2)Should I get Green Lantern Brighest day omnibus, or this arc is included in the Green Lantern Omnibuses by Geoff Johns?
3)Aside insock trades and Nobles and Barnes, any other great comic book store that ships internationally?
4)Will Top 10 from Alan Moore ever be republished in Absolute format?
5)How about Criminals by Bendis (I think)? Will it receive a omnibus?
6) Everything related to Sandman is found in the 5 absolutes? Anything else I should buy to have the entire material of Sandman?
7) Is Promethea worth buying absolutes? (I think I saw a place that was selling numbers 2 and 3!)
Thanks! XD

this is hot. I gotta read sandman before I die. Lord let me see that day.
you can never go wrong with an absolute. I would get the deluxe or the absolute If I had to go physical. that box set is cool but 12 hc books is not something I am into.
brightest day should be included, but Vanwrinkle and timm are our experts on that.
there is facebook group that I will pm to you called the omnibus collectors. they not only help people find hc all over the world but people are more than willinging to trade/sell overseas.
top 10 probably won't
criminals by Bendis already has an omnibus that just came I think. and lord is it thick.
sandman has 5 absolutes but there is another called death with the side stories, then sandman overturn.
Also check out instock trades com. also called IST around here. it is a great comic online store to buy omnibus, trades, and hc.
1. I'd just get the regular tpb unless you absolutely need it in hardcover
2. The Brightest Day omnibus collects the 26 (?) issues of the Brightest Day series, it's not a Green Lantern story. There is a Green Lantern Brightest Day collection, but it's an arc that was actually titled New Guardians and would be in either the 2nd or 3rd omnibus
4) Probably not
6) There's the recent Sandman Overture series from a year or two ago that as far as I know hasn't been released in Absolute format
Amazing
