Ah, cool, thanks. I'll go back and read those issues.
The problem with jumping between runs is that I miss a lot of important events. A part of me hates skipping things, but I also don't want to read every single issue of Daredevil.

I've played a bunch of Zelda games. Never gotten far in them.
And as a Nintendo fanboy, I want to love this series, too.
Lol, that reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend whose parents had much more money then the average when he was little. We were walking by a place where there used to be an official LEGO shop and he was like "wow, you guys remember this LEGO shop that used to be here? It was so cool, you would buy sets and then get points and exchange the points for cool gadgets and buy more sets! Right?"
And I put him down with "yo, those of us who were keeping it real by being poor could only salivate looking at LEGO catalogues. And occasionally our parents could afford a set from some shady shop because the official store would sell stuff for superhigh prices".
I mean, the best LEGO thing I had as a kid was an X-Wing. My best childhood friend had a Snowspeeder from Empire Strikes Back. The guy I'm talking about had a Millenium-freaking-Falcon. Sometimes it's hard to relate to him.
Though you rich American people probably have no idea what I'm talking about *scoffs*
There's no way I'm letting you sillymonkey Six-Gun Gorilla, man. It's my favourite book ever. I promise, if you think it hasn't reached it potential, it totally will. The penultimate issue is just one big, existential, emotional and real mindscrew.. Please give it a chance breh :<

Man, that was a brutal buncha issues. Didn't Karen come back with
HIV after doing her porn-thing and then it was all bullshit because fucking fishbowl-head Mysterio is a sick fuck?

I don't think the HIV was part of the Mysterio deal was it? I legit thought she had that.
Is Milla still in the nuthouse? Man it sucks to be with Matt Murdock.

WTF?! That sounds messed up.
Huh, I was wondering what was going to happen to her. She just got introduced recently where I'm at. I'm not too worried about these kind of spoilers since I've heard that all of Matt's love interests either die or have something horrible happen to them.
Filthy Slug

It's all kind of mashed together in my head, but I thought
that she did contract it, and then it's later revealed that that was bullshit? And I know Mysterio was the Big Bad in the story, but again, kinda hazy in the ole dome-piece.
I'll probably give it a re-read because I have the version with a little essay by Ben Affleck and that's like the prize at the end of reading the run.
Edit: There's also that prose issue with Mysterio and Kingpin I think Mysterio buys all of Matt's info off Kingpin? Prose comic issues are usually rough.

I read both Bitch Planets before bed last night and I enjoyed them I guess when I read them. The morning after though, getting them off my nightstand, I for the life of me can't really recollect what the hell is going on. Its like what ever I read went in and out already. Nothing really resonated with me.

Something horrible will happen to her eventually I'm sure, but probably not during Waid's run. He's steered clear of horrific tragedy for Matt so far.
Just to throw some random artist love into the thread, I got given the trade of the Trial of Jean Grey as a secret santa gift, and I was giving it a flick through again last night and I realised again how much I enjoy Stuart Immonen's art. Awesome stuff. I love the work he put in on All-New X-Men and the way he draws the characters, I mean, this isn't part of that trade, but it's a great example of how good he can be:
Something so good it got repeated later in the run:
Shame he's left the book now but Asrar is doing a good job of continuing that style so it's not too bad. Anyway, I just wanted to chip in with that randomly. Please continue.

i will take every opportunity to love on immonen. easily one of my favourite artists, he really gave it his all on his run for All-New X-Men. I was ecstatic when I found out he'd be doing All-New Captain America. And yeah absolutely love those two pages.
I have to be me. Issue five was quite interesting, and now i just finished six before finishing this post. The one thing i didn't understand was how exactly those
message watches worked and how all the soldiers got memories as soon as the boy dumped the watches out the window to them and how he was using the watches at the end.

Alright finished the first classic Star Wars omni. Now to pick from Revival HC 2, Doom patrol omni, invisibles, or Hickman FF omni 1.
Filthy Slug

Doom Patrol.
Like, I still have trouble recommending Invisibles because you need to invest a lot of time into it to get anything out of it. And I don't just mean time reading it, I mean time researching the conversations that the book is having with history, literature, the occult, etc. Also, tracking down the original letters pages from Morrison is a huge key to unlocking a lot of the books, and they're fucking awesome.
It's a must-read for anybody into Morrison, but damn if the Arcadia arc right at the beginning isn't the most "fuck you, stop reading, turn around and never look back" arc in history.

Oh fucksticks. I totally forgot to recommend Promethea for fauxtrot's lady.
I knew pretty much nothing of X-Men continuity back when I started reading superhero comics around Marvel Now and the All-New X-Men title has been great, as has Uncanny X-Men. I picked up most of the odds and ends along the way and wasn't too confused. There's just a bit of "Oh Magneto and Cyclops have different costumes and Scott did something pretty bad and I guess Jubilee is a vampire now?" but you'll be fine I'm sure.
I'm probably not the best person to ask but I came in probably the same way you did, which is "I've seen the movies and I remember the old cartoon and aside from that I know pretty much nothing" and I still got by.

Yeah I know it's just a bug, still funny!
And I'm trying it out now since you get a month free. They have a great lineup and their web reader is alright. I'll probably continue to subscribe to it.
Will do!

Yeah, it's 75 bucks. Is the Mark Millar Spider-Man stuff any good?
Z3 is supposed to be pretty solid. Sadly it is doing pretty badly and Sony is probably axing a lot of their smartphone division.
Yeah the weird thing about X-Men is I've kinda always felt I knew more about it than other comics simply because of growing up in the last 25 years or so, it's consistently been popular and in the pop culture sphere of things you kinda just know about. X-Men has sooooo many characters though. This is kinda why I usually just avoid super hero comics in general. All of them have these histories and they all intersect with other books. Just seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks but I don't own a tablet. I have an IPhone 6 but have to read stuff in guided view. Not fun.

Have you read New X-Men by Morrison? That's where to start.
Wolverine and the X-Men by Aaron is a great follow up.
God, soo good!
I need to open up the Wolv & X-men omni and reread that.
Anyone have an Uncanny X-force Omni they want to sell me?
No Star Wars, no Zelda... Messi! D:
The Z3 range is Sony's best selling phone range for years. Certainly since they bought out Erricsson.
The mobile division has been doing badly because it was sitting on a massive amount of low to midrange phones intended for China, which were crap, like the Xperia E.
Now the value of that business has been written down and restructured it might actually do okay.
Kravens Last Hunt!
Yes, one of my favorite Runs. Buy it. Dont believe the haters.
Also, buy Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimate Collection 1.

I'm thinking about it. I really just want some fun playful Spidey stories where his playfulness and his sarcastic mouth are present.
If you guys do meet up you have to kiss though. That's the rule and rules are rules.
Then better stick with Brand New Day Vol. 1-3.
Marvel Knights Spider-Man is a more serious story.

So many SEGA shoutouts
SO MANY SEGA SHOUTOUTS
I like how it just tossed in Sonic the Fighters setting into Sonic Unleashed's story. Great action packed issue with awesome art and fun moments.
EDIT: Speaking of Wolverine, who do I have to massacre to get a poster of this?

Bendis and Sorrintino doing Old Man Logan for secret Wars

I can echo everything here. I picked up All New X-Men, Uncanny, and the ladies-only X-Men book and I've really enjoyed all three, despite knowing nothing other than what was in the movies. The solo Magneto book is good too.
And now that I've caught up on those series and liked them, I'm probably going to go back on Marvel Unlimited and read Avengers v X-Men and a few other titles/events that set up the current status quo. So it's nice to have more stuff to read.
