Freeze, I wasn't paying attention and I nearly clicked that. id have spoiled Hawkeye and might not get another issue for 6 months...you know how aja is...

The time would fly and you wouldn't even notice the wait if you bought good books to pass the time instead of Ann Nocenti Catwoman. XD

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Rat Queens was the shit. Fuck the rest of my books today.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Oh shit.. Somehow I ended up with 6 new books.

Tomb Raider
Lois Lane
Deadly Class #2
Serenity 1 and 2
Xfiles conspiracy: Transformers

Everybody Relax!

How was it? Simone is doing really well with Red Sonja. Does she give Lara the same treatment?

 

[PsychBat!]

really? i didn't think a whole heck of a lot really happened this issue. lots of buildup, but no real payoffs.

Agreed, and it looks like SpOck is going to fall hard.

Good to see another fellow Gaffer reading the SUPERIOR comic.

Well I used to have this as my avatar.

 

[Toa TAK]

The solicit for next issue has my interest though- looks like spiderman 2099 inexplicably shows up again, after the city has been going to hell for god knows how long now.

Oh yeah. You know, the bigger the buildup, (hopefully) the bigger the payoff.

How was it? Simone is doing really well with Red Sonja. Does she give Lara the same treatment?

Curious to know as well.

Well I used to have this as my avatar.

A SUPERIOR avatar. Really liked the art in that issue.

 

[La Maquinon]

It's insane, I sort of want to buy their books just for that.

First issue of Ruse was pretty fun, I hope it continues.


Edit: Any suggestions on things to start reading?

I've got:
Ruse
All-New X-factor
X-Force
Amazing X-Men
Harley Quinn

Should I get any of the batman or other stuff?

Did you end up getting The Fuse #1? I'd certainly recommend that.

Seems like it, I'll keep trying it or switch to trade. I sort of felt in the middle of something is all.

 

[MartyStu]

World's Finest and Batman and Superman are two of the best DC books out now.

Just amazing.

Get Batman and Robin from the start of the new 52.

Whoops! Meant fuse, not sure why I wrote Ruse. ;.;

I like you.

I'm quite liking the crossover so far.

 

[La Maquinon]

Whoops! Meant fuse, not sure why I wrote Ruse. ;.;

That's ok. It gave me the opportunity to pimp The Fuse again. Go buy that, guys. It's ace.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Just bought issue #13 of World's Finest and #1 of Batman Superman, so I'm looking forward to reading them.

I aint about that Earth 2/3 life.

You hate female characters. Understood.

I'm still waiting for my Fuse #1 to get delivered to my local shop.

 

[arkon]

lol

Thought I'd missed some new series.

 

[La Maquinon]

I'll give that World's Finest a go. I'm just waiting for the start of the next arc. Not that I have much confidence. I read the recent annual and it didn't do much for me.

 

[Freezasaurus]

It's promising, but it's also only one issue. Let's see how the next one goes.

 

[Rrongfield]

After much thought, I've decided my top 3. One Image, one IDW and one from Marvel.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

God damn Chew is a great comic.

 

[Teptom]

I just finished Hawkeye...damn.

 

[BlueScrote]

It was a really good issue from back to back.

Spoiler

Now the sign language issue makes a bit more sense and less gimmicky.

(Hawkeye spoilers, just in case)

I can't quite remember what happened in that issue that would be illuminating. I might have to give it another read.

It's the only way that the rebooted line would live up to the Amazing title.

it's pretty clear what Slott is up too considering Peter is reliving Otto's memories and struggling to remember who he is.

Then you need to be Action Comics. Pak is carrying his righteous Superman over to that title.

Action Comics is about to be DOOMED into a crossover and I'm trying to figure out if I should avoid or collect.

Thoughts?

Two thirds of the writers involved are doing amazing work with Supes. I'm going to dip into it hoping Soule and Pak make the Lobdell parts bearable.

 

[KoruptData]

Yeah, I just read Bat/Supes and Worlds Finest and I think it's a great story they have brewing. They really have the personalities of these characters down.

 

[ReiGun]

This week's Aquaman has convinced me that we need more comics about superheroes attending their high school reunions. I wonder if

Spoiler

all those rescues Arthur says he doesn't remember are setting up for something or are just a fun bit of characterization.

Parker so far feels far more focused on character and levity where Johns was more into worldbuilding and serious drama. The book is different now, but still really good.

ARGUS finally started to move in the 11th hour - of course - but it was probably the most entertaining issue. Where was this Steve Trevor these last four issues? He actually started to come across as pretty cool. Even the standard "I love and miss Diana-chan soooo much, uguu" scene actually worked.

Spoiler

The Cheetah jobbing is hella suspect, but whatever. Not going to think about power levels. Nope.

Superman: Lois Lane was cool and I want more of this.

Wasn't feeling Deadly Class as much this time around. It still looked fantastic, but none of the story did anything for me.

Hawkeye....damn. Just...damn.

Glad to see aquaman is still good. I read trades, so I have like a year until I'm through with Johns run. Really fell in love with the character.

 

[slightconfuse]

First iread WATXM has was LIKE . will miss aron a lot

You can see both arrows have blood on them in the last page. I'm guessing he stabbed both ears.

That's a good point.

I'm really enjoying Action Comics and I would hate to see a crossover mess up it's momentum.

Unrelated, but ya'll just made me purchase a digital comic at FULL price...

Aja can take all the time he needs if he keeps delivering this level of work.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

It's a shame because when he tries Robinson is right up there with the best including people like Gaiman. His Starman run is the stuff of legends and The Golden Age is better than Watchmen in my opinion.

I think it's worth bearing in mind that Robinson seems really really bad at starting a run off. The first Starman book is probably as bad as it ever gets, and the Shade book started off wonky as well. I think he takes a while to find his voice. Either that or he's just got really shitty in the past 20 years.
