I'm not buying every physical comic that comes out. In fact I'm super selective in the books I buy. I'm now mainly focused on buying runs that have something close to an ending. I stopped buying big omnibuses and cutback on deluxe edition with a few exceptions. This is after I just culled a big chunk of my collection to Half Price Books.

I've got a few cool buttons. They are a fine thing to collect.

These are the buttons I have so far:
Yes, the majority of them are from the special edition of Infamous Second Son. The Sly Cooper button is rad as fuck.
It's even worse than I thought...

I wanna see your Flashpoint buttons.

Yes to both.
Lois and Clark got a little meandering at times, but overall it was a fun little diversion and it sets up the Superman status quo in Rebirth pretty well. Robin: Son of Batman was a Gleason joint, which is to say, gorgeous. Pretty well written too. It got a little wonky towards the end, as a lot of the DCYou series did (creative teams getting pulled and shuffled to focus on Rebirth), but still overall worthwhile.
I looked in the drawer they used to be in and were gone, must have been an older timeline.
Anchorman 2 could have been worse.
no, I have boxes and boxes of comic books taking up much needed space, comics I will never touch again. Same for my ridiculous dvd collection. Same for my action figures. Im not even going to go into the "waste of money" aspect of it, because, well whatever, at the time it wasnt a waste I guess (even tho I didnt read half the comics I bought or haf the dvds)
Im actually trying to sell my house and the thought of moving all that crap terrifies me, I will probably just toss it all tbh.
I let him do whatever he wants, its called advice, not order. I wish someone had given me some when I was younger tbh.
Now go clean your room young man and get off my lawn!

Man, I don't mind watching list videos every once in awhile, so I decided to watch a ScrewAttack (always a fucking mistake) list of Top 10 X-Men.
Oh god it was the wrong choice.

I mean, you could find a place to sell it. At least you'll get something out of it. But whatever. You already paid for it, so sunk costs and all that.

It was:
10) Colossus
09) Gambit
08) Kitty Pryde
07) Bishop
06) Rogue
05) Nightcrawler
04) Psylocke
03) Storm
02) Wolverine
01) Jean Grey
"I watched X-Men in the 90's and played some of the games!"
Except I can't really talk shit about that because half of that list would be in my top 10
Dorkly's list is better though, because it's voted by the readers, not the staff. This means that they decided to just shit all over their readers' choices.

There are certain characters I'm just not a fan of like Psylocke and Colossus.

I know right? She's just so boring. She had a few good storylines and has some amazing feats, but feats and stories don't make for a good character. Just a character that can do good things and be a moving piece inside a story. I like her occasional shades of pettiness, but those are so rare. Most of the time she's Saint Jean Grey, except for when she's Dark Phoenix. And then it's ALL about the Phoenix and SCOOOOOTTTTTT!
I'll always love my boy Piotr. Boring power set and all. Psylocke is okay. She has some good stuff, but I feel like she's mostly just used for "sexy ninja" and is pretty much interchangeable for Elektra.

Colossus
Emma Frost
Cyclops
Kitty Pryde
Storm
Laura Kinney
Armor
Rogue
Nightcrawler
Magik
I'm sure that'll change over time. It's fluid, though there are a good chunk that are and forever will be mainstays. I enjoyed Lady Mastermind's tenure on the squad (until the point where she leaves, obviously), as well as Cannonball, Elixir, and Magneto.

I know a lot of people found the Cannonball vs. Gladiator issue ridiculous and outrageous at the time, but it's seriously one of my favorite 1v1 X-fights of all time. If I had done a top 15 he'd be in there
edit: and M and Fantomex and Dust and Sunspot ;p
edit: and Chamber, now it's a top 16

Basically how I felt. It felt exactly like "who does the mainstream think is popular, and have we watched the 90's cartoon and played the VS. series?"
Was the main argument for Cannonball that he's nigh invulnerable when blastin'?

He did about half a dozen amazing things he had never done before and has really not done since. Expanding his kinetic field into the ground to absorb impact, vibrating his entire body or some crazy shit to make himself invulnerable, flipping a 180 and blasting Gladiator in the damn face with his rocket trail. And then there was this
He fucking stomped him

I always love it when Gladiator gets stomped. Especially by country boys that become human rockets

Joe Quesada's dialogue is some cringy shit sometimes
He really is. He's actually a fairly cool character and I do like him, but it's so damn satisfying when he gets the shit kicked out of him

Man, Injustice Mobile got an actually good Raven design. Really hoping 2 don't go for the last one or the N52 one.
@Events that are still canon in DC: I think they all are even if some happened differently as of Convergence/Rebirth.
I fully expect one of the Rebirth answers to be that Manhattan couldn't create an all new world and just replaced everyone on Earth/made people forget the old version while trying to shape the world to his liking. The fact Checkmate's old HQ is still the same as before with hole in the wall where Blue Beetle was shot in the head...
Please make this comic Ravens costume. That's awesome.
Remember when the Batgirl team tried to be coy about trying to remove the killing joke from canon. Lol.

That was coy?
'It's up to you and your interpretation... Wink wink nudge nudge'
Also I reread that recently. It doesn't look like that and no one would have mentioned it if they hadn't.

Speaking of DC, they just added pretty much all the Electric Superman issues to CMX. Going by the covers of Superman Reborn they might have a reason for that...
EDIT BC: 311+ creators involved in Love Is Love.
You're in for a treat. Such a great series.

all star batman 1-4
deathstroke rebirth and 1-3.

Now you know why I was so pissed when they announced Khoi Pham was taking over on art duties
oo. I feel bad for newcomers in the sale thread. this is honestly a lot of great stuff on sale.
I've 130 books in my cart from Image, boom and DC. New readers are well and truly fucked.

Everything about Damian's head in this preview is wrong and Wally looks like he was modeled after this:
Raven, woof.
Yep I haven't done a total count but it is definitely past a hundred.
I now just need a idw sale so I can finish tmnt up.
