For real. Then they'll do it again in the future and start pricing 1st issues $6 only to drop them to $5 for the next. Such a deal! 8 extra pages WOOP WOOP

I should have stopped when I realized that they were on a Grundge Concert and had a wannabe-Collossus called Grundge in their team.
One of the worser Spider-Man/xyz crossover...
Next up is one of those two little beautys... Still cant believe that I now own booth of them...
Just fantastic. All of it. I will be there day one. #Prez
The biggest area where price has affected me are annual issues and those one-off 31.1 etc Avengers or New Avengers one-offs that are 4.99. Unless they get 10/10s or the GAF equivalent i'll wait till they hit Marvel Unlimited to read them despite buying their regular book monthly. This month i'm skipping Daredevil 15.1's $4.99 issue.
90s had their Grundge Concertpanels, 10s will have their akward social media references.

hmm thats actually a great idea
Another $1 book for me.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
I'm really jamming through Alias now. It's soooo good. Just brilliant stuff. When Bendis is good, Bendis is GOOD. This is hitting all the same buttons for me that Scarlet hit, and I absolutely loved Scarlet.
A lot of people in this thread were complaining about the art too, but I kind of dig it. I mean, the reusing the same panels is a bit of a drag, but it's not too bad. Overall I like Gaydos' style though. It's rough, but it has a lot of character. He could work on his facial expressions a bit though. They're pretty vague. Then again, I'm probably still spoiled from Terry Moore's top-tier facial expressions.
Also, David Mack's covers are just the best. I really do need to pick up that Mack art book.

No you need to pick up his series Kabuki. It's amazing work about a all female Japanese hit squad that poses as Their pop idols in a near futuristic timeline. It started as his college art project and over the years his writing and art style evolves into something amazing.
That series might be the perfect blend of art house comic-gaf and girly hijinks comic gaf. Though the series is pretty serious throughout.
Amazing amazing stuff that I'm not sure many have read
Deadpool (2012) #1 - Deadpool vs FDR...wait whut >_>
so this was a...weird way to start this latest Deadpool run. Im not sure what I thought of it tbh. Lovely art at least. I need a few more issues to get a feel for it, but dead president zombies was unexpected

The new Star Wars stuff will be on MU eventually right? right??
The New Hope.
1st arc is crap the rest is gold.

No, that'll come under Star Wars Unlimited along with the old DHC stuff.
I should be in charge.
Why not both?
But yeah, I'd almost forgotten that you recommended Kabuki (though I did put it on my IST wishlist, so I would've remembered soon enough). I'm definitely interested in giving that a try.
Is the whole series collected? If so, how many collected editions are there? Searching for it on IST gives me quite a few not-very-straightforward results.
And are the different minis that make it up kind of standalone?

It kinda works for conveying a passage of time. It has a purpose, so I don't think it's lazy unless they do it for like, three or four panels.
Haha. That's Alias to a tee. A lot of dramatic pauses. Except Gaydos even reuses panels for when, in conversations, someone's reaction to something would be a similar reaction. It's definitely noticeable, but like I said, it really doesn't bother me that much. Like, it's not as if him redrawing essentially the same panel but just with slightly different lines would make me enjoy the book or the art any more. I know he did it to save time, but it doesn't really take anything away from the comic. It is slightly annoying though.

Or if they overuse it, which Alias kinda does.

Sounds about right. But I haven't seen that show in like, a decade.
Yeah. I watched the show last year and this is exactly what it is.
The plot is good though (if you're not a kid and fall asleep). Can't say much about the action.

Oooooh nice
Anyway there are 7 volumes originally. And the order is:
1) Circle of Blood
2) Dreams
3) Masks of Noh
4) Skin Deep
5) Metamorphosis
6) Scarab
7) The Alchemy
So I just bought the first two issues of the Star Wars comic, and I got both of them as variant covers. My LCS bagged and boarded them, and they're in perfect condition. I'm going to collect the whole run (this is the first time I've bought individual issues actually), as well as the Vader and Leia books, but I'm paranoid about opening them and reading them if I'm going to keep a collection.
Would it be a good idea to go back and get regular copies for just reading, and keep the variant covers in the plastic? Or should I just open them, read them and rebag them? I don't want to become one of these collectors that is super anal about stuff getting messed up, but I'd like to keep them nice.

Wat. No. The plot is terrible. Anything Gundam has been terrible past 0079.
Turn-A?
I don't know, man. People seem to be liking the new Gundam series. I might get back in to it if Marvel Heroes doesn't kill me first.

You could always open them up and redeem the digital codes and just read them on a computer/tablet/phone. That way you wouldn't have to buy extra copies.
Build Fighters is great brah. Give it a shot.
Oh, I didn't even realize that they came with digital codes. Thanks for the heads up!
Edit: just unbagged the first one and it looks like it doesn't have a digital code. Maybe they didn't put them in with the variant covers?
Oh yesssss. I will so be buying these. Thanks for the heads up!
Not sure if I have an awful memory and don't recall that at all or if this is a dig at Dillon's faces.

I'm loving these 4.99 issue 1s from Marvel.
Did you ever get your Surge and read Spawn?
