I saw that the art is by Gaydos, who also did the art for Alias.

Sweet, my IST order and my Smash Bros. soundtrack are both preparing for shipping as of today.
Haha, amazing
I'm always a little bummed when I realize how much time he spends on variant covers rather than interiors on an actual title, but his cartooning is always so on point that I can't bring myself to stop buying them.
It's best to act like Batman and Batman and Robin exist in separate worlds. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but to the best of my knowledge, Batman has never acknowledged any developments from Inc or B&R.

That B&R story arc might even end with Damien losing his powers.

Anyone read Vader #2 yet? I don't get my Vader fix til Friday.
I'm tempted to try out Spider-Gwen despite not having read any Spider-Verse.

In the past it has, but not lately.
I would prefer that he dies again. It would be glorious and I would quench my thirst on the tears of all the sobbing Damian fans.

Watching the first episode of Young Justice right now. Speedy comes across as obnoxious.

Doesn't matter. It's a good intro that gives you everything you need to know. Even though it's pretty standalone as long as you have a basic knowledge of Spider-man stuff. CBR 5-star reviewed it.

My idea of the Batman timeline right now is:
Forever Evil > Batman Eternal = Detective Comics = Grayson = Batgirl = Catwoman> Batman Main Title > Batman and Robin
Forever Evil > Batman Eternal = Detective Comics = Grayson = Batgirl = Catwoman> Batman Main Title > Batman and Robin

There was a Batman "Requiem" issue after Robin dies. It's the one with the incredible Capullo cover featuring Damian's boots and a robin atop one. It was okay, nothing special.
You'll be fine. I never read any Spider Verse and I'm not even that familiar with the Spider books in general, but I still liked it. They're doing a good job with that and Silk trying to bring in new readers.

I bought Spider-Gwen because of you guys...it better deliver.

So some updates on things I've been reading recently...
Injustice - up to middle of Year Two. It's pretty fantastic. There have been some real stand-out issues. In a weird way it's kinda like the Breaking Bad of the DC Universe - it's more like you're just watching this inevitable downward spiral of bad decisions, stubbornness, and vulnerability destroy these characters. It's kinda fascinating. I know they pull in more supernatural DC stuff as it goes along, but it's kinda crazy how far-reaching this story goes, extending all the way to the Green Lantern Corps. The real downside though is the art. Part of the blame goes to Netherrealm Studios' overly-messy designs, but man, there are some piss poor drawings in here. The story certainly overcomes it though.
Ant-Man - Read the first couple issues now. So good. So fun. So endearing. I absolutely love it. Can't wait to see where it goes.
Spider-Gwen - A good start, some really interesting twists on characters. I wanna see what the overarching conflict is, but so far, so good. Gwen's perspective is pretty rad.
Hawkeye - Just wrapped up Issue 21. Honestly, the whole
is one of those comic magic-moments where you can just hear the soundtrack thumping as some of the scenes play out, your brain filling in the gaps, making the whole experience so wholly engrossing. Easily my favorite comic of the last few years, but this was a damn fine start to its finale.
Aquaman - Finally got around to finishing Death of a King. Geoff Johns' whole run on this series has been fantastic. I'm curious to check out Aquaman and the Others, see if that's any good. But yeah. Real shame he had to leave the book, and it kinda diminishes my desire to continue on without him, but this easily is among my favorite runs in the New 52.

Well he's not gonna be a right hand man any longer that's for certain.

Do it. I haven't read all of Spider-Verse and I enjoyed Issue 1 just fine. I posted a panel of Gwen's origin story from Edge of Spider-Verse #2 in this thread. That's pretty much all you'll need to know, but if you can read that single issue it would be even better.
You need to stay with Aquaman, at least through issue 40. As good as Johns run was, Jeff Parker's has been even better. I'm super bummed that month I'd his and Pelletier's last issue in their run.

Went in to my LCS to pick up Spider Gwen, since I didn't preorder it, at 3pm and they hadn't even put this weeks comics out yet, they were still going through them, and they only ordered 3 copies, with one for general customers, wtf. Said they wouldn't have it ready for another hour. So I'll have to wait till Friday and get it at another comic store in another town.
The major problem with the local store is they are also a video game store first, so comics are a secondary business. Whoever orders they're comics doesn't know what is hot at all, you should see what they order a lot of and what they don't. The only reason I go in there is they're bags and boards are reasonable and the brand I like.

Spider-Gwen is the Anti-Batgirl.
Universe, please let Spider-Gwen be the Anti-Batgirl... I don't need my heart broken again this soon.

the part of Zombine's ebay digital code tactic that i didn't consider is the wait to actually get the code messaged to you. goddammit, Spider-Gwen Wednesday is ruined
on the plus side though, Curb Stomp looks pretty damn swell

If you order from certain sellers the turnaround is at worst an hour or so later.
Low #6 was the best book of the week. Mind blowing stuff.

I forgot to pick up the Thor Annual #1, too. Everything sucks!!
Anyone who read it - how was Phil's comics debut?
b-but it was a buck .75!
Although the best was when I bought a $5 Hulu Plus subscription for like a month and the dude mailed me a sticky note with the code on it instead of sending me a message.

Well:
WnD was fantastic as usual. Love all the gods. So dynamic and fun.
Low, did not see that coming but fucking fantastic. Colors and art is great as usual.
Spider Gwen: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEEE ITTTT!
UA: When Remender writes villain focused issues, I scream like a schoolgirl. So good.
NA: SO dark and dreadful. Gave me shivers when I read it.
