I've added a new segment to the OT, it'll appear every month from here on. Check it out and give me some feedback so I can add, modify or streamline.

The art on journey into Sif has been fantastic.
Also Immonen is writing the hell out of it

Lets talk about licensed comics. Who here reads licensed comics? What licenses would you like to see? I would really love to see Animorphs comics. They were pretty much comics to me when I was a kid. This franchise has so much potential and shouldn't be on the shelf.
"There will not be a CHEW TV series on Showtime."
His wording makes you wonder if it's a fakeout and there will be news about the Chew series going to a different network.
Or, yes, it could mean the entire endeavor is kaput.
I'd read a comic adaptation of that. Apparently they tried to go back and republish the books a year or so ago so they could smooth out any inconsistencies but they never got very far. That said I'd read the shit out of an Animorphs comic, especially if it had the right team behind it.

Bleeding Cool has another "WTF" -related spoiler on its hands, and apparently it's a big one. It looks as though Mico Suayan, the cover artist for Red Hood and the Outlaws, had posted the full gatefold cover for issue #19 on his site, then quickly removed it when he noticed his error. But not quickly enough, obviously, as the full uncensored image is currently making the rounds on numerous comics message boards and spreading like wildfire. The image is... certainly shocking, to say the least, and may be indicative of a possible "Death of the Family" outcome for a certain former sidekick.
Let's put those spoiler guidelines to the test, and see if Comic GAF can remember what spoiler tags are for.

(That was a hint; use spoiler tags to discuss this.)

"What The F*ck," indeed.

Christ dude, is no one safe at this point?
Shit dude, it seems like it should be an obvious choice. All the fucking stories are already written, just gotta adapt them. Plus it would look absolutely nuts, a Tiger ripping into a slug monster from space. Who wouldn't read that shit?

No doubt brah. I'm just surprised with all these companies vying over properties and IPs, that it hasn't been widely used. I'm gonna get on that shit once I have Liefeld level credibility in the industry.
Ad oh my fucking heck at that cover.
The cynic in me wants to say this "leak" was all just a part of the plan. What the fuck indeed, indeed...
I would love that. Didn't Daniel Knauff try to make a comic and HBO did not allow him to?

Yeah. What made me make the post was The X Files comic that is coming out that takes place after the movies.

Yes I'm loving it
I read Adventure Time, Star Wars things off and on and Buffy/Angel things sometimes. Oh and I got the Uncharted, Dead Space, Fringe, and Mass Effect trades. The Skottie Young Wizard of Oz books count? And I'm pretty close to picking up something Doctor Who. I was bummed out by the Farscape books, the art not so great..
Not sure what I'd want to see

Only licensed comic I read is TMNT but that doesn't even count, right? I really don't care enough about any of the IPs nerds seem to cherish enough to want to commingle them with my comic reading.
The only exception I can think of would be Riddick. I have like some abnormal attachment to that franchise and would consume any amount of media released related to it.

Isn't this wtf stuff just covers?
oh god yes this
yep - for all the cool stuff HBO's made, they've been huge dicks about anyone doing anything with Carnivale - and after all that, they don't even have the show on HBO GO.

Not really; supposedly the covers are going to closely relate to something that happens in the book, though whether they do so figuratively or literally is still up for debate. Rich even reported a while back (when this was still just a rumor) that books were ordered rewritten to have a "WTF" -worthy moment in them, and that in some cases the cover moment was decided upon before the actual story was ever written, so that every book could take part in this gimmi- I mean event.

seems wierd...I remember liking some of that Nuff Said gimmick month, I wonder if they'd do something like that again.
I'm reading a couple of the books over at BOOM. Namely Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors and the upcoming Regular Show comic. I'm not 100% sold on Bravest Warriors but I've already got a few issues in my stack so will decide once I've got through those. Transformers books over at IDW and likely soon to be Ghostbusters. I might check out some of the D&D or Pathfinder comics as well.
In terms of what else I'd like to see, it's probably another Farscape book or maybe Babylon5. Something to scratch the space opera/scifi itch, which Prophet and MP do to an extent, but I want more. Huge spaceship battles, lots of PEW PEW, and grand sweeping drama involving all sorts of delicious backstabbing and politics.

It's my favorite Iron Man too although Ellis' Extremis is a close second. Glad someone likes it as much as me.

It was a perfect arc. The Mandarin build up was excellent. I wish they'd collect it in a nice Hardcover or something :\
As for licensed books, I wouldn't mind having Darkwing Duck back, if Ian Brill toned down the continuity. The first volume was ridiculous fun, then the plotting started to get in the way.
I don't use my HBO Go, but is that still true? It's still not on the service? Fucking bizarre. I adored that series.
Knauf's heading up the Dracula US/UK show that NBC will be airing sometime in the 2013-14 season. Maybe that'll be decent.

I used to read the Transformers comics before they split into two ongoings. They are actually pretty good for the IP. Over time, they have added quite a bit of depth to some of the characters.

March I think.
Doesn't that 0.1 issue come out this month? I guess I'd consider that the start.
Sometimes I try to read after I burn but it usually doesn't go over well. Some of Morrison's stuff in particular is hard to read because it requires a level awareness that I just do not have under the influence.
Immortal Iron Fist and Batwoman were good stoned reads.

All I ask is that no one fucking ruins Batman on Wednesday. I don't get out of class until 7 p.m.
This. Spoiler tag everything.
I'm going digital on that issue then reading it ASAP. You should probably just call out sick, man.
