Yep. Backstagers, man. Fun, cute, sweet, super LGBTQ positive. Highly recommended.
Also Morrison's Klaus. That one is getting a new one shot this Wednesday too.
Boom had a great year.
Weavers, yup that too
Also check out The Spire. Cool little murder mystery in a weird fantasy setting. A bit strange they don't have the whole thing on sale though especially as all of Weavers is and that came out long after.
Oh and for the price Wild's End is worth checking out. Wind of the Willows meets War of the Worlds featuring some lovely expressive artwork.
edit: On closer reading that's actually the second Wild's End miniseries so maybe not a great choice to jump in with.

Shame Power Rangers isn't on sale, it looks really cool. Wonder if TMNT is going to be sale soon, I've got a hankering to read that.
Give people an inch and they take 100 miles and a shit load of free money? some skeezy dealings going on here.

This sounds like a case of biting off more than you can chew although I'm starting to think her husband is a real piece of shit. I think Liz ultimately is trying to please a lot of people but doesn't have enough resources to do so.
You've got people saying they've gave them $400 for a commission 7 years ago and they are still chasing up a refund for nothing received. The facebook comments from the husband are pretty hilarious because he's all "yeah you have a solid case pm me and we'll sort it out"

I don't want to believe she's a scam artist but this isn't helping.

I think it has, unless you specifically are looking for some form of vengeance. That is unlikely to happen unless the series ends in all out warfare, which I'm 50/50 on happening.
Kirkman dealt with the emotional trauma, the inability to talk to anyone about what happened, and the ensuing stress on Mark's relationship with Atom Eve. Mark is a distant shell for quite awhile after.
If anything, I think Kirkman has handled it very well. The answer is there are no easy answers when it comes to rape, and rarely any permanent closure.
I think it's safe to say we don't need to feel sorry for either of them at this point. The reply that the book would still come at some point (four years later) as if that's no big deal is ridiculous. People only live ~78 years, so making people wait 4+ years for a comic is ridiculous. That makes Frank Miller and Jim Lee look like creators slavishly devoted to deadlines.
It's really the amount of time that prevents me from putting this down to solely having a shit work ethic. Nobody got time for comic drama on a good day so dragging people along for years is cruel and unusual punishment.
At a bare minimum she doesn't really care about those who support her through commissions/kickstarter. If you're so far behind on so many projects then stop soliciting new ones until you take care of those who already supported you.
Never in a million years would you do something like that
Anybody on this? Trying to figure out if I should grab any more off this sale or not.

Wasn't there that thing not many issues ago where
Mark ran into Anissa again but she has a husband and kids now?

Ok, I need to know: what is all the hype around Raina Telgemeier's book? Is a whole generation of kids really into her book? I keep seeing it in every top 10 list.

It seems to sell pretty consistently. Also, she has a few books out. Sisters, Smile, Drama, and Ghosts. I've flipped through them, they look pretty cute.
Tragicomedy

Yes, and she tried to intimidate him again.
Freezasaurus

Why would she bother at that point? Would she have
eviscerated her husband if she could get with Mark? Also, I don't remember if she had more than one kid, but would one of them have been Mark's?
I bet that's not a insignificant amount of money blown into the wind.
It's totally not 700

I really enjoyed Hawkeye #1. This is the first volume of Hawkeye that looks promising since the Fraction run. It's a surprising angle for the series to take, though. The Kate issues of Fraction's Hawkeye weren't as well received as the Clint or Clint/Kate stuff, iirc, and this is very similar in style and premise. I always liked those issues myself so this works for me, but people who didn't enjoy her California adventure back then probably aren't going to like this either.
The "targeting reticle" is a nice touch. I love when an artist incorporates a feature that gives a solo book a signature style.

Wow Glitterbomb is really good, what the fuck at issue 4.
I'm not going to lie I thought it would be more. That fucking sucks though, are you still in contact with those you have paid? A year is a long time to be twiddling your thumbs waiting.

Hillbilly #4: This book is kind of a shoo-in for single issue story of the year. It's competing with itself in its own class, and it's hard to say which story is my favorite. I hope to follow the adventures of Rondel the wandering hillbilly for a long time to come.
It's one of the first three though. Still an excellent issue but ended too abruptly.

Intimidation, obviously. It's well documented that rapists seek to reinforce their power over the victim. Not positive on the parentage part, I'd need to revisit those panels. Might have been implied.
As of a week ago, yes

I didn't know Thunderbolts is already cancelled and on its final arc before I read the new comicsbeat article about the 2nd week of most Now! books. Ouch at those numbers.

ME: I should read glitterbomb
also me:
think that is how I am on most suspect comics.
Here are the first three pages of the first issue. You will know if it is a book for you immediately.
Try to fully read the first page before looking at the second if you can
Book started off lousy, honestly. Not sure if it ever recovered.
I'd rather have Bucky freed up for other books
I have seen those pages before in the preview, but that last page was funny.
in a dream world Nick spencer would be writing Bucky as well.
Captain America :Bucky Barnes
also lol! ultimate squared #1 has super low sales. which is kinda deserving because that first issue was worst than every other issue in the series.

They should give Bucky a Nomad book
He has to wear the cape tho
Edit: holy crap at that Sorcerers Supreme drop. That must have felt like a punch in the dick.
Deserved if I'm being honest
Edit2: Foolkiller ;___________;

DR STRANGE SORCERERS SUPREME
10/16 Dr Strange Sorcerers Supreme #1 - 149,710
11/16 Dr Strange Sorcerers Supreme #2 - 29,349 (-80.4%)
Sorcerers supreme had it coming. I was excited for this book but ended up dropping it after reading #2.
OCCUPY AVENGERS
11/16 Occupy Avengers - 38,400
not too surprising. the issue was solid, but nobody wants to read about a guy who killed Bruce Banner. still picking up #2
10/16 Champions #1 - 334,937 [+6,772]
11/16 Champions #2 - 49,733 (-85.2%)
damn at those champions numbers.
biggest surprise: Death of X selling well for all 4 issues. people been craving for Cyclops and Emma.

It's time to do a AU book with Steve "dying" in WWI and Bucky waking up in modern times. Bucky and Natasha hit it off etc.
Edit: The Deadpool, Daredevil and Black Panther lines look dead in the water aside from the main books going by those numbers. Even ASM is slipping.
People on the previous page were commenting on the Switchs rumored specs being disappointing and it's something I've been seeing all day.
I'm just not sure what type of power people were expecting for the power level and size of the device.

If Foolkiller has high retention maybe they will let it run a couple of arcs at least...?

Solo was pretty much confirmed 1 volume by Amazon removing the "Vol. 1" from the first volume name. Foolkiller is lucky if it gets 2.

Does Scarlet Witch 2016 improve? Because I just finished Issue 2 and this is the most boring thing I've read in years.
