It is related. The cover of Issue #4 shows Hulk, Wolverine, and Silk all attacking Ghost Rider. I imagine the cover is deceptive but they're all still fighting that purple monster, so this arc is only just beginning.

Oh my god please STOP trying to recreate the magic of the New Fantastic Four. Even Rick Remender barely pulled it off. You ain't stand a chance.

Riiiiight so Revolution's last issue just released and the only tie in issue left is the MTMTE one that's releasing next week. I think it is ridiculous that a tie-in issue would release after the main book ends @_@

Okay, that makes sense, they're still playing the Ms. Marvel playbook while their rivals changed the playbook and are currently winning.

And enough of the Marvel is killing the X-Men OTs in the Discussion thread, ugh, enough.

See I've got 4 responses to Marvel's attitude towards the X-Men.
I'll post them once PSX '16 ends and we get to see the trailer and it confirms what we've learned so far about it.

Are you buying the single volumes or the box sets?

(Also kind of annoyed that the Christmas box set turned out to be a "double-dip").
Click to expand...
Yeah. That was annoying. I wasn't even sure if the slipcases were going to be a regular thing for the Barks stuff. They don't seem to be handling it like the Rosa stuff which I think is the better way to do it. Release two single volumes a year and when the second volume is out release the slipcased set of the two.

So now I've got to decide if I want to go with the slipcased editions and be double dipping on some like that bloody christmas set.

Teen Titans #1&2
So this was pretty decent. Very clichéd, but I'm willing to forgive it for how enjoyable the Damien stuff is. The rest seems very forced and secondary, and honestly right now the only two members that interest me are Damien and Kid Flash. For the most part there's a lot of really forced dialogue and character psychology all in one, and I'm not feeling it. I'll give it one more issue and after that I'm either in or out.

Titans #5
A weird combination of intense and dull. Like, the entire
race across the country was intense. Like not knowing what'll happen, and being in Wally's head as he did Speed Force shit was all good. However, at the same time I was like, "we get it. Now fucking do it already."
So as much as I'm enjoying this book, I'm starting to cool on it.

Nightwing #9
While I felt this issue was a bit cheesy and I wasn't digging the art
(also why is Harley on his list of friends?)
...

WE FUCKING BACK BAYBEEEEE

WE DID IT FAM. WE DID IT.

Superman coming in to convince Dick that he's the fucking best? 10/10 would read again.

Dont you think all Barks will come out in Boxes too? Because I am waiting for them. Should I buy the rest of them separately or wait? Don't want to have a incomplete collection. And yes this double dipping has to stop, that's not the way to do it.

Edit: So this editions are missing: The pixilated parrot (2015), Terror of the Beagle Boys (2016), Trick or Treat (2015), The Ghost sheriff of last gasp (2016)

I don't know if we've had official word on it but signs do point to them doing it all in boxes hence the double dip problem. The christmas box seems to be the odd one out in that sense. I'll have to check my box at home to be sure but IIRC the package design and dress is different. Maybe why they decided to repackage those books in other more uniform box sets.

Yes it's diffrent, the whole boxsets with the current design started at 2014 for Rosa and Barks, so you could be right. Maybe the christmas set was to test the markets if there is a demand.

So yeah GL Avengers #2 was good, some nice humor in there too, and the art is good.

Sonic #289 only adapted up until
Sonic vs. Egg Gundam
, but was a decent issue otherwise.

What did King do to Batman?
What is the passable book?

I have not had the time to read anything in the past 4 -5 months and your post has me shook!

I wouldn't worry about it. Tragic has been pretty anti-Rebirth from the beginning. I think it stems from his jealousy of Tom King's long and illustrious career in the world of international espionage.

Best Book - Omega Men
Trash Ass Book - Justice League
Best IDW Book of the Year that isn't Revolution - MTME
Rebirth of the Year - Superman
ANAD of the Year - Ms. Marvel
Olivia Wilde of the Year - not the blonde version in Messi's avatar, any of the others
Best Art - Wonder Woman
Worst Art - Birds of Prey
Forced Push of the Year - Inhumans

I agree that 'Tec has been great. The last issue was a bit slower, but was still a quality issue. Batman has been a bit hit or miss for me, but Detective has been very good and very consistent.

Tec has been trending downward for me as well. I haven't enjoyed Victim Syndicate too much.

It has good art and everything it's just not all that great storywise. Like, Detective Comics is doing an evil team vs good team arc and it's doing it far better.

I think they befriended over the course of that annual, or what Dick considers a friend.

The only character on the original Weapon X teaser that is actually on the team is Sabretooth ;p

Uuuuuugh man...I love Pak but I'm not overly fond of the lineup or the premise. And I don't know if I can do another round of Land.
