Now this looks like my kind of story.

Yeah, I'm doing a second playthrough now. So much more fun when you don't have to keep looking around for shit to pick up. I don't even know why they opted to add collectibles into a game they planned on making so cinematic.
I just read the All New X-Men issue with Sarah Pichelli on art. Goodness her art is lovely. I wish she
did more issues. The issue was also a nice wind down issue. I like seeing these characters just hang around. Emma being a dick to Jean was kind of awesome as was Jean standing up for herself. Could have done without the Kitty and Star Lord bit but if they are going for that relationship whole hog atleast they referenced it in the main book. The first bit with X-23 and Angel in the nightclub and back in his bedroom talking about why he likes her was cool.

The game is six hours long with collectibles and forced walks, apparently one third of it being cutscenes. That's why.

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes was $30 for two hours. Padding things with collectibles doesn't justify anything. While I enjoyed The Order, I think it would have been a much better value at $39.99.

So on Comixology, getting Black Science issues #7 - #11 is cheaper than getting them as Volume 2. $9.95 vs $14.99. Is there any reason to get the Volume over the individual issues?

Yerp. Don't stop developers from doing it, tho.
And yes, if the devs had priced The Order at 40, the reviews would be FAR less harsh. All you gotta do is look at the reception Hard Reset got. Shorter, but honestly marketed, and still managed an above 70 metacritic, even with shit story and short length. To an extent, same happened for GZ, more honest marketing about what they were doing, even with little bit of bullshit about "20 hours of valueeee", fairer price, and kinder metascore.
Alas, RaD does seem to like the taste of their feet a tad too much for that.

maybe there's extra stuff but i really doubt it. I always like getting single issues if i can
Holy crap this uncanny x-men / ironman / Nova No End In Sight mini arc was fucking awful. It felt completely disjointed and utterly pointless in the end. None of it made sense and it felt like they picked 3 franchises out of a hat to make a special about. Good lord...
I need to read something good fast to cleanse that awfulness

Fury My War Gone By.
Alternatively the barracuda mini is pretty good too. Not stellar, but will suffice.

Good thing Ennis is doing a section 8 mini this summer !
No idea what either of those are but it doesn't sound like something on MU

Spider-Gwen #1 is out in a few days. Anyone else excited about it?

My most anticipated comic release since Collider. I just hope Secret Wars doesn't fuck with it. One of the main draws of Spider-Gwen is its setting. Sometimes AI like my pizzas personal. Damn it.

Spider-Gwen is seriously going to save comics, bros. Despite Kipp's best efforts to the contrary.

I thought MU collected everything mahvel thats 6+ months old? Should be there. Both are part of the MAX lineup.
Also wtf you havent read punisher max? Fuck is wrong with you?
MU doesn't have MAX stuff, it would ruin little kids sensitivities

Hey Comics-GAF. I'm crossing over from mostly reading manga and have really enjoyed Gotham Academy, Ms. Marvel, and Silk.
Is there any other stuff like those three series out there, particularly Gotham Academy?

Just ordered the new GL omnibus and was thinking about maybe getting a statue to complement it. Never bought a statue before, would the Kotobukiya ArtFX+ line be a good entry point?
Theyre pretty inexpensive and the quality of the statues are actually pretty good. Just be aware that they're much tinier than most statues out there.

Yay she came in!
Wut. I mean it's obviously Shayera instead of Kendra. But the Bombshell was based on the Earth 2 version.

I'm a fan of almost any Hawkgirl incarnation. So it's still awesome. And I can understand why they'd want Shayera as she's more recognizable but it definitely feels like an accidental bait and switch. Thanks for the video as always!

I'm down, but someone sell me on Silk, is it a good book?
Brian K. Vaughan's Runaways
Bendis's Ultimate Spider-Man
Jason's Aaron's Thor
Brenden Fletcher's & Cameron Stewart's Batgirl
Matt Fraction's Hawkeye
Yeah. Looking forward to that now.

Hmmm...only series that I'd liken Gotham Academy to is Gunnerkrigg Court, it's a webcomic but has gotten actual book publications, so check it out.
Other than that maybe Locke and Key? That one is something of a horror series though I guess.

Wayward is kind of a manga-esque comic from Image.

It's a 1:100 variant. So it's rare. Most eBay auctions are around $300-400. Hype is probably inflating that to a strong degree.

Good lord. A match made in hell.
Not a fan? Luckily I don't post that often so you won't have to see it much!

Oh I don't actually care if you use it. That eye is just horrifying.
Ha, I guess so. Although speaking of horrifying eyes I think my other SG avatar, Squirrel Girl, edges it out.
