Eaglesham is amazing. He's like a cross between Mike Mckone and Bryan Hitch. He drew Villians United and Justice Society of America for awhile

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Now begins the danger of Greg Land arriving on any of the books I am reading.
Why Marvel won't just outright fire him is beyond me. I'd stopped buying Iron Man, but a friend cannot break the chains so easily and dared me to look at his copy of Iron Man #5 today. THAT FUCKING FACE ON MULTIPLE PAGES.
Hickman doing good on Avengers. Also Stegman is of course killing it on Superior, pity that Slott is just a sloppy troll of a writer these days. Without Stegman its just going to be that sloppy shit I can skip.

I already commented on it, but damn.
Cap was done dirty. Even hit Tony with a "brother," and yet. Now, who will regret that the most?

dont take the illuminati at face value. for far thinking intellectuals, they dont think of the concequences of most of their actions. the hulk being one of those.

Avengers:
Cap deserved it. He was acting like a condescending snob. Reed told him what's what. Fuck him. The illuminati doesn't need him.
Cap was being a dick. He deserved it, he just assumed Reed was doing this just to do it not even thinking that it was for his family.

Still can't help but feel bad for him. He was sticking to his morals, after all.
That ain't going to save the universe. And who knows, maybe by taking this path they find a way to save everything without ending an entire alternate universe. Besides, Reed knows better than most what messing with other universes is like.

Can confirm it was out today, just left the shop with a copy in my bag. Maybe they didn't order any copies for their racks.
I was just there, they had sooooooooo many copies of GA.
Guys, what the fuck is with IDW? This is, I think, the third week in a row it that TMNT has been supposed to come out and it hasn't. Come the fuck on.
New Avengers #3 - Probably my favorite book this week, loved
Avengers #5 - Not really feeling this book so far, spotlighting some obscure hero I dont really care about every week.
Superior Spider-Man #3 - The best issue of Superior so far, enjoyed Otto/Vulture
All New X-Men #7 - Things should pick up pretty soon I hope
Green Arrow #17 - New creative team is off to a good start, book had been unreadable since the New 52.
the gems shattering (one missing), and their handling of bitchy whiny Steve

I don't like Peterson's way of shading (I forget the exact name for it), in lieu of crosshatching.

I got TMNT today brah.
Seriously? Man, my shop didn't get any. Hella disappointed man, want to continue this story.

I figured. Called the store anyways and put it in my box.
And weird that they didn't get any IDW stuff. Very odd.
That's his weakness, though. He admited he can only see things in black and white but the Illuminati put him in his place. Cap can keep his nobility, but sometimes the things you love are more important than your the virtue of your soul.

I'm on my phone, is that a thing or just some wishful thinking?
They're doing a digital series for Superman similar to Legends of the Dark Knight. That's one of the covers.

copped Green Arrow but i want to read Year One first... good to see such positive impressions, though
Hickman's FF run just keeps getting more rewarding, even after reading it twice and moving in to other works. Shit is amazing.

It's almost unfair how good these books are.

Does Hickman's Fantastic Four have to be read alongside FF to follow everything. I picked up the first FF trade along with my floppies today.

hello did you get fearless defenders?
It goes Fantastic Four, then it transitions into FF until Fantastic Four 600 hits. After that you read them along side each other.

i need to get a hickman FF tattoo when my first son is born
Some trades have come in! I got:
Rex Mundi omnibus volume 1
BPRD Plague of Frogs Hardcover volume 1
Hellboy Library collection volume 2
Ghostbusters volume 1
Still waiting on Flex Mentallo and some X-Factor and Fables trades.
That'll be it for at least a few months. Probably go for my next batch of trades closer to my birthday. Unless Rex Mundi really takes hold of me, in which case I might grab the soon-to-be-released volume 2 much earlier.

Ooh, nice. If there's one thing DC needs more of it's anthology books that flip the bird to the New52 continuity nightmare and just tell accessible, self-contained stories.
DC can deny it all they like, but those red shorts aren't going anywhere. Ever.Supes back in his underoos tho.

This isn't even an exaggeration.
We'll see when he's done with Avengers/New Avengers because this shit is getting real.
What's the reference?

Eaglesham is a good artist. I used to work in the projection booth of a theater. The head projectionist was buddies with Eaglesham. Eaglesham would send him sketches and stuff. I was so envious.
Sort of... give me the issue I want to re read it.
Wasn't there a cow that was splattered or something?
