I like how everyone hates Civil War II, but it's still the #1 Marvel Comic for last month. Civil War and Batman y'all.

1 Batman (2016) 10 120,901
2 Batman (2016) 11 116,690
3 Civil War II (2016) 7 116,446
4 All Star Batman (2016) 4 99,064
5 Invincible Iron Man (2016) 1 97,712
6 Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows (2016) 1 96,111
7 Batman (2016) Annual 1 91,033
8 Venom (2016) 1 90,137
9 Walking Dead (2003) 160 88,367
10 Ivx (2016) 0 84,181
11 Avengers (2016) 1 81,885
12 Justice League (2016) 8 80,696
13 Justice League (2016) 9 77,905
14 Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures (2016) 1 75,973
15 Star Wars (2015) 25 75,234

Given those numbers, I'd expect for Renew Your Vows to settle below Amazing (63,052), but above Miles (39,701). Champions dropped big, landing in the same range as Titans and Teen Titans, which feels about right.

I like that, though I think there should be a "Best Trade/standard HC" and "Best OHC".

 

[BKatastrophe]

Not even sure why they published a Solo book in 2016.

Because he's guy who's green and has guns?

 

[echoshifting]

If Solo would just take a page out of Kite Man's book and went around yelling "Green Gunman!!!" everybody would love him

 

[BKatastrophe]

I like how everyone hates Civil War II, but it's still the #1 Marvel Comic for last month.

I actually really like CW2. I honestly think 75% of the hate comes from "Fuck Bendis," "Marvel events suck," and "the first one sucked, so obviously the second one does." Now keep in mind, it's a flawed book and it has problems, but I don't think it's nearly NEARLY as bad as it's made out to be.

Also, the event hasn't made Carol look bad. That's the fault of the tie-ins that makes Carol seem completely heartless. Not the main book. The main book actually has her as quite sympathetic.

I certainly would give it a shot.

Isn't that also like, half of the G.I. Joe characters?

Nor does anyone else.

Lemme tell you as someone who buys original art. Inkers are the mvps. Bachalos especially.

Nope. I like it. No takesies backsies.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Flow doesn't care about inkers confirmed

Best cover.

I just voted in the 11 O'Clock Comics year end awards and best inker is one I had to leave blank because I can't even name one.

 

[TheFlow]

I am so fucking in love with the TMNT covers. like lord.

 

[Messi]

I disagree but have no interest in defending against you.

 

[TheFlow]

where do I go to buy prints of certain artist and stuff? is there like a general site or do I need to stalk them.

kinda wanna buy myself a lil new years gift

Why not? You don't like replying to posts written in ALL CAPS?

Most of them post about them on twitter if they have online stores. Many only sell them at cons or don't do prints. Anyone in particular I can help with?

Yeah, and Bendis also wrote the AA story in Iron Man.

 

[dan2026]

CW2 would be better if it didn't get delayed to high heaven.

Seriously Marvel how hard is it to keep to a schedule?

He sells original art on cadencecomicart.com but the prints seem to be con only. If you want his email I can get it and you can message him. He's really cool and his prints are huge and awesome

Messi, are you in the beginning stages of becoming an underground comic art peddler?

"Beginning stages"

For the record that is me and Zombeen.

We were the Voltron of original art speculators at NYCC.

Messi, I am about to read Slam #1. What do I need to know?

 

[Messi]

This though... He gave me two of these huge prints.

Look up his inktober sketches. He did a month of under represented black characters. Right now he is doing an old school hip hop series.

If he can't hook you up send me a pm with your address and I'll send you one of my panther prints for free .

 

[MartyStu]

Remember when Spider-Man was good?

This is not a rhetorical question. I have only been reading comics since 2012, and cannot for the life of me remember when a solid run other than maybe Superior.

Tips for moving with comics?

Digital people...quit smirking.

Shade the Changing girl #3

what an interesting issue. like damn. Probably my second favorite from the young animal books and easily one of my favs from post rebirth.



also I decided to stop posting numbers for my summaries/reviews. I think my words should give you guys an idea of how much I like a issue.

 

[Sandfox]

BND and Big Time were good more often than not IMO.

 

[echoshifting]

Best single issue/arc should be two entries imho. Or just best arc

I would do best publisher, best new character. Maybe best launch? But that's already too many

 

[Freezasaurus]

Lemme know how that goes. I don't want to say anything.

That was a really really cute book. I like it in the same kind of way I like Giant Days. #2 is next week, right?

Remember when Spider-Man was good?

Vaguely. It was a long time ago. Slott needs to let go of the character and give someone else a shot.

 

[echoshifting]

Oh do I need Slam in my life?

I'm not even sure why I skipped it

It simultaneously justifies and unjustifies everyone's hatred of Megan in one fell swoop.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Yen Press is now on CMX. If you've ever wanted to read the Kingdom Hearts, FMA, Black Butler manga they now exist there.

Aaaaaaaaaah Yotsuba is on CMX!! Yessssss

The jolliest thing ever put to paper. Can't wait to add it to my collection


I'll also pick up FMA Again

oh I agree fully. I wast trying to cram everything into 10 categories.


best new character is such an awesome idea though. l love that.


starting to think we need 15 instead of 10 awards. imo

It simultaneously justifies and unjustifies everyone's hatred of Megan in one fell swoop.

yea probably the most crucial issue so far. Embrace the madness! Also great use of colors.

Yup. This is the reason I wanted the boom stuff. They do great work.

It's Messi the book.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I always meant to grab it, I was just already buying more books that week than I wanted.

 

[echoshifting]

Unpopular opinion, Shade: the Changing Girl is the best book anyone is publishing right now

I think it's an extraordinary work of art
