Guys please don't get banned for talking about the order. I don't know how bannings work but lots of people who have talked about the order are gone now. Plus JC might never come back
It would be a silly hill to pick to die on, alright.
I'll try and shut up about it now. Waiting for Star Trek Online to install now, it probably won't finish in time since I'll be watching WWE Fast Lane in an hour so, for only $9.99 on the WWE Network (I know this month is free, I just always wanted to say that).
At least I have tomorrow off. New jawb on Tuesday, we'll see how that goes.

Can't believe Marvel killed off Journey Into Mystery so quickly. It was really good :/ I want more Sif adventures.

I like Spider-Woman's new costume, but she needs a good writer to match.
I want to know, has Hopeless written anything that is considered good or decent?
Also, its hilarious how quickly the 180 on The Order occurred.

I'm a huge fan of Avengers Arena, but I know I'm in the minority.
I'll be at Raw in April
The fabled Raw-After-Mania, or just a random Raw?
I've never been to any live wrestling. They do run house shows here like twice a year.
Really? Nothing of value at all? Hell at least most other disliked writers have some good to decent output.

Outside of Tetrax and AA, I haven't heard anything good about Hopeless or Humphries.
What if the new Thor book is Sif adventures and we just don't know it yet?

If it was using original characters i'd be ok with it. But being a big fan of Sentinel, Avengers Academy, Runaways and the like and seeing after years of delightful stories (Sentinel) and really good ones to have a good portion destroyed for a splashy gimmicky book was sickening.
Thanks a lot Marvel for your Battle Royal knockoff young character murder book
Only Humphries is worse
Nah it's almost a month later. I'm thinking about doing a ComicGAF sign. Wrestling is my shit and I love that one of the perks of my job is getting to hang out with wrestlers when they come to town.
I typically work for WWE for the night as well, but back in the fall for Smackdown I just opted for free tickets.
There were people who fucked with Cable and the X-Force when it was coming out iirc

Cable and X-Force is kinda okay. Like, check it out if it's on MU-tier
It'll be Roz.
I don't believe it is Sif. Roz is so incredibly obvious that I think they will go a different direction. Like Jane. She is obvious but less so.
I mean, the only reason I was so blunt was because it's so obvious it hurts.

Anyone else reading Black Science? Really enjoying it. The art is gorgeous and the different dimensions are wonderfully realized. A lot of action, and it's the kind of premise that has endless potential. Sliders without having to worry about budget or special effects, jumping to new and ever-weirder realities.
Before I forget again: I read some comics!
Caught up on my TMNT backlog. The 2014 annual was the same sort of thing as the 2012: a decent enough old school TMNT story that's in continuity with the new series, but totally skippable and not worth tracking down. The 30th anniversary book was decent enough but the whole super short story retrospective thing reminded me of FCBD thing. Enjoyable enough but not really worth the money.
Then volumes 9, 10, and Turtles in Time were all awesome of course. Especially love the way they took
from something kind of lame into an interestinng character twist. This book always leaves me wanting more of it!
Of, and Exiles (2009) was nice enough. It's just a shame it got cut really, really short. It seems like it would've been a cool run but they barely got a chance to develop it at all. I do like the
to handwave Claremont's crapping up of things, and it at least helps wash away the taste of that from the end of the series.

Yeah, lots of us here read it. I think it is fantastic and the artwork is stunning for the most part. I have moved to reading it in trades as I find it reads better like that. But all around a great read.

So... what i'm getting from this post is that you saying Gamingside was at least somewhat justified....
Don't think i've ever seen an ending that screamed more of "we ran outta money bro".

I have the first two trades coming in tomorrow. I'm really excited to start the series and I'll probably end up reading them both in one sitting.

Cool. As a big fan of sci fi, crime fiction, horror, cyberpunk, I'm like in seventh heaven finding all these new series. I didn't realize the comic scene was so diverse outside of Marvel and DC. I knew about TWD, Preacher, and Fables, and had heard mentions of stuff like 100 Bullets, but that was about it.
It is amazing right now. Have you given Velvet a look?

Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
This second part of the ms.marvel / wolverine story was better than the first but still can't touch the early issues. Tell me it gets better guys
Next issue has Lockjaw at least so that's cool
I don't think the quality ever dips, but the next arc is Kamala vs The Inventor, and yeah, those issues are some of the best so far.

Not yet. On my wishlist now
Sounds reminiscent of Salt
I picked up Hawkeye Vol 1 and Immortal Iron Fist Vol 1. Hawkeye was excellent, haven't gotten to Iron Fist yet
Magneto is awesome, need to read the latest issue on MU

It's the best TBH. Last few issues have been earth-shattering. By far the best AXIS tie-in not called Hobgoblin as well.
Can I read it without caring about/not reading Axis?
Almost the entire 2nd arc really gets hijacked by Axis. I think you'd have trouble following it if you didn't read Axis at all.
I just absolutely hate that shit.

Between Loki and Mighty Avengers, Ewing out-Remendered Remender. Those are the only AXIS books you SHOULD read. And the Mighty Avengers after AXIS. It actually deals with the fallout, which even Remender didn't do.

Is axis the most forgotten event ever?
Edit: or is it original sin? Man did two events in one year?

World War Hulk had literally no follow up for years, because Bendis was too busy building to Battlestar Galactica With More Punching, or Secret Invasion as it's sometimes called.
