Are none of you picking up Talon? I see these lists and there is a distinct lack of Talon on them. This needs to be remedied. Hell, this week features Batman and Nightwing!

Talon is awesome. It's on my pull list. And I agree, it should be on everyone's pull list.

I literally have no idea what Unwritten is and find the idea of copy and pasting it into google more effort than it's worth. What is it about?
Click to expand...

Quoted from the wiki: The book follows Tom Taylor, who was the inspiration for a series of hugely successful children's fantasy novels in the vein of Harry Potter. The series deals with themes related to fame, celebrity, and the relationship between fiction and human consciousness.

It's written by Michael Carey with art by Peter Gross, the same dudes who did the outstanding Lucifer series for Vertigo.

My dream outcome.

But yeah, Morrison's sensibilities are completely at odds with the "Batfamily shattering" conclusion Snyder intimated.
Click to expand...

Makes sense.
Bruce adopts her because he needs a family. His son is dead and his other children have left him. Come on she was introduced for that purpose. Morrison is finally passing on Bat to Snyder officially by giving him a way to make his own Robin.

Come on, that's horrible and people should feel bad for even suggesting that's what will happen.

It sort of makes sense, depending
on what Snyder does with Harper that is. She's obviously got her own thing going on with her dad and I'm a little curious as to what that is. I doubt that we'll see anything as amazing as Damian, but it won't be crap either.

Depends on if Genndy is involved in some way, otherwise I don't hold much hope.

I forgot Uncanny Skullkickers is coming out this week. Added to my list. I really am trying to give Image as much of my money as possible. They do so many things right.

Do you guys tape your bagged comics closed or just leave the flap alone? I tape them but a friend of mine leaves them open (fucking barbaric).

I normally leave them open but if I'm picking up an issue over at Comic Ink that I missed - generally it's taped already so I leave it on. :p

I'll tape when I feel the need to do so.

Tape. All day every day. But not until I read them. Once I'm done, I tape them up, and file them into the comic box.

Howard the Duck is now my favorite Marvel Comics character.

After only reading ONE comic. There's really nobody like him, but man is he a likable character. Within one comic Howard is so miserable he wants to kill himself, then he fights to save a girl he doesn't even know even though he's a little guy and can't really fight. Then he risks his life to save Spider-Man, and finally he sacrifices himself in an instant to kill the bad guy, with no real reservations about it at all. He's not your usual debaucherous Fritz the Cat type character. He's a sad, selfless little guy.

Marvel has/had the monopoly on characters with depth.

The Howard the Duck / Man Thing duo from Heroclix amuses me greatly. And I have almost no knowledge of their actual interaction.
