So happy to see people buying the Zero tpb. Now if I could get you to buy Manhattan Projects, my work here would be done.

two Avengers original sin tie-in issues....one oversized? I don't like this, i don't want to drop Avengers for the time being but i'm predicting Original Sin to be bad, and starting off with a 0 issue and then double shipping along with tie-ins is a money trap.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Had a look through the marvel solicits there. Pretty cool Schiti and Checchetto both getting a look in at the avengers books on art.

The Ghostrider solicits don't sound any better. God damn these Morbius flashbacks I am getting.

 

[KoruptData]

Nice little quote from Snyder on the back of Zero.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I like that they listed Severed first on Snyder's credentials. That was a great book and I feel like no one talks about it.

 

[Kipp]

I can't wait for y'all to get through Zero. The more Zero and FBP discussion we get round these parts, the better.

I really want to read these, but I'm holding out for oversized hardcovers. Especially for Zero.
But man is it tempting to get the $5 trades.

It's a horror book, right?

 

[GrandHarrier]

Who did they get to retroactively go back and rewrite Batman before Zero Year???

Spoiler

Weird they'd mention a specific storyline.

 

[ElNarez]

So, at some point we're going to have a conversation about the final pages of Batman and Two-Face #28, right? Because that thing that happened sure did, right?

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Amazing X-Men #4

dat hug, goddamn

I'll read it tonight and we will discuss this.

First book im reading when I get home. Storyline has been brutal so far.

^This makes my heart happy lol

 

[Lyte Edge]

I also hope the returning character in Amazing Spider-Man #2 is finally

Spoiler

Ben Reiley

I'm guessing that the story is going to have Peter come back, but

Spoiler

Otto is still inside there too.

Yup. A damn enjoyable one at that.

i like them better when they're me

Lazarus through issue #4: It's been fun reading through the issues, Lark lark lark, the world feels a little too empty though and that emptiness seeps over into my overall feeling about the book.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I have an EMS package chilling in customs for three days. I worried brahs.

Mine has been chilling an hour away from me for four days and the stated delivery date is going backwards in time... I'm assuming this means its lost.

what state? If you've been effected by the storms recently, Media Mail packages get lowest priority for delivery, it's possible it will still come. Monday was a federal holiday too, and no mail sunday.

You also might be doomed and the postal service is reading your comics ( like i assume they do wtih mine whenever a package is late)

 

[Quake1028]

I am out of the loop - is the weekly Batman you guys are talking about replacing the current monthly?

 

[Messi]

Nope both will keep going

 

[Serpentine]

There's an Annihilation omnibus coming out in May: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0785188894/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Hopefully they release all five of the Marvel cosmic events in oversized hardcover collections. I haven't read any of it, but I'm intrigued. And I like my OHCs.

oh perfect. I'll try to grab it when it's 30 bucks at CGN. if not, half off at IST will work fine

 

[phoenixyz]

No, but Batman - The Dark Knight ends.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Who did they get to retroactively go back and rewrite Batman before Zero Year???

Spoiler

Weird they'd mention a specific storyline.

because Zero Year has replaced Year One as the definitive Batman origin story that people will refer to for decades to come?

 

[Quake1028]

Thanks Messi. I think I have made the hard decision to move all of my Image stuff to trades. They are just so damn timely with them but I feel bad because I should support them in monthlies but I can't with all of the Marvel and DC stuff I want to read, and those two suck at trades. Gah.

Edge of NJ and I kind of doubt it since another package I have ordered is moving normally but we'll see. There was only no mail for 1 of those 4 days. The delivery date was going forward and then went backwards one day at a time so the estimated delivery is last Thursday but still lists as in transit... Delivery date moving backwards is what made me think its a lost cause. USPS says theres no customer support for this package when I call too. They suck so bad.

 

[Quake1028]

Two boxes of hardcover goodness waiting for me at home!

Jim Lee please stop trying to make Grifter happen. Brah will tank the sales of Future's End.

Say whaaaat. I'm super excited for this haha. C'mon, Jason Aaron doing a Sternako inspired murder mystery across the cosmos. He already proved he can do marvel cosmic proud with his Thor mega arc, this is the next step. Nick Fury snr. coming back too. Still think there are Nick Fury/Watch similarities that can't be ignored here haha.

These covers too:

These covers too:

I think i have irregular levels of hate for the Watcher, i cant' stand the character, every time he shows up in a book my first thought is " oh the watcher! this is important!" because that's all the watcher is, a note from the writer or editor of important thingssssssss. That and the last Marvel events have been Age of Ultron and Avengers vs X-Men...eesh.

Those covers do look neat though, and my issues will PROBABLY sell on ebay for some amount if i buy all the Original Sin main series. It's tempting, but as quality goes i assume both Batman Eternal and Future's End will be better and that bar is already low. The only Marvel book i am regretting not ordering so far is Kot's Secret Avengers. Still tempted to order Inhuman too...

Just, before I go further, have you read Jason Aaron's God Butcher/Godbomb & what did you think of it? If you've read it and didn't like it, I think it'd be futile to say anything else, different strokes for different folks, but if you think Future's End or Batman Eternal will be higher quality than this without having read Thor, I can't wait to see you obliterated by this thing man. I have a really good feeling about Aaron exploring some similar ideas/concepts to what he was critically acclaimed for on Thor and mixing it in with a bit of weird espionage (for a lack of thinking of a better way to describe it haha).

 

[Hypertrooper]

It looks damn good in the current crossover with All-New X-Men. Did they switch artists after the first arc?

Oh sorry wrong wording: The art is the only great thing about Bendis' run of the Guardians. The writing sucks. That's what I meant.

 

[KoruptData]

It did?

Of course it's note done but I think it will.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It did?

Sure, right alongside Superman Birthright and Secret Origin.

 

[doniewhalberg]

Haha, on this original sin call right now

One of the major questions that gets asked in the first issue is "Who watches the Earth without The Watcher?"

Nick Fury bitcheees.

 

[Messi]

Batman and Two-Face #28 what.the.FUCK

I'm split on Aaron overall right now, i did really like God Bomb/God Butcher, and even his elfy arc was decently good. I hate Amazing X-Men and his WATXM was all over the place for me. The tie-ins sound like they are going to be doing their own thing based on leaked secrets, so i won't skip Avengers, and if i'm not skipping Avengers i might as well read Original Sin. Doesn't help that i don't like "detective stories/mysteries", reminds me of Identity Crisis.
