Yeaah I remember 1602 got a lot of hype but it turned out to just be...OK. Kind of disappointing coming from Gaiman.
Whatever happened to the caped crusader was good. He basically did what Morrison did on Batman but in way fewer issues.
Aww yisss I was just about to buy the paperback but the deluxe will be nice. There are a few other Batman: TAS type books right? I gotta get them.
Good lady you have there. I haven't read most of those but Black Hole is legit. It's pretty weird but I loved it.
I have Uzumaki vol 1 sitting unread on my shelf. Bought it on a whim. *sigh* I have so many unread comics

I have assumed the omnibus position. This chapter is messed. You can tell Grant Morrison has what I would call an "ego trip". Where you meet your ego and it does not want to accept that it is not a separate entity.
This is Doom Patrol in a nutshell. It's themes.

Has anyone else noticed a lot of titles releasing much more quickly? Looking at this week/next week and we already have another Thor, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, Bitch Planet, etc. I know Marvel has historically double shipped a ton of items, but I don't remember them being lesser known titles.

I don't think Thor's double-shipping? #1 - sept 29, #2 - Nov 17th, #3 - Dec 11, Thor #4 - Jan 30th
I guess the gaps in time there makes #4 and #5 seem pretty close. Dauterman isn't drawing #5, and I guess they wanted to spread out the Thor releases, since CM PUNK'S debut comic superstar comic releases on the 22nd

Has any hero ever been in a relationship with a villain? Like Batman will flirt with Catwoman but where they ever involved for realsies? Like "honey you don't tell me about your day, I don't tell you about mine". I guess Spidey and Black Cat but again, that wasn't really a relationship. Nor are Black Cat or Catwoman villains in the classic sense.

At least you're spending your money on quality comics. Imagine the horror without our stream great recommendations!

Not like long-term, either the hero stops corrupting his morals or the villain comes over to the side of good. Or switches over like Terra in Teen Titans(spoilers)
Guess the closet you can get is Talia/Bruce Wayne, and Typhoid Mary/Daredevil
Good point! I have learned of quite a few comics already by reading posts here! I'm always looking for highly recommending comics.

So what would be the best recommendations for someone who thinks the Daredevil Bendis/Brubaker run is amazing (not a rare opinion I know). I'm a fan of the more personal stories and street level nature. I hear Alias is good, any others?
That's exactly how I feel. I want them, but at the same time I don't want to spend any more money right now and I already have way more comics than I can read. Can't really justify it.
Okay, fine, I'll take your paperback then.
Is it bad that I've never read a comic with Harley in it?
This is 100% exactly what I was going to type. Are you me.
I've been tempted to grab it from the library again to give it another try and attempt read the whole thing, but I don't think I could handle it. Haha
High five on utilizing the omnibus position.
Also, that issue was screwing with my head so much. It's so confusing and disorienting in exactly the right way. Brilliant stuff.

How are either withblade or darkness villains? Also I didn't know they actually got together, I only read a few only each back when they released
Actually would you say (Batman Grant Morrison spoiler)

Haha--nah, it's completely fine that you haven't read one. Seriously though, just read Mad Love--it's not only the best Harley Quinn story (by, like, guillions of miles), but it's also just an impeccable Batman/Joker/TAS-like story. Most other stories featuring her just feel like goofy, shallow impressions of the character Dini and Timm crafted perfectly in this book and the show.

Have any of you guys ever ordered books from barnes and noble? I can get barnes and noble gift cards through my credit card reward points and I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with them? I mean, they can't package their books any worse than Amazon right....?

Thinking about grabbing the Stumptown hardcovers with next week's IST order. I forgot to order the X-Men Supernovas TPB with this week's, and I've been waiting to order it for like, a month. I'm such a dummy.
As to what I DID order...
Atomic Robo Vol.9
Lost Girls
Bang Tango
Batwoman Vol.5
Freezie is such a perv.

That's quite alright. It was curiosity more than anything. I have Milo Manara's Borgia if I want comic porn.
i mean like i know of there's some really fucked up shit out there but i can at least kinda imagine some fucked up person jerking it
i honestly cannot imagine the kind of person who would -- not even jerk off -- let's just say be AROUSED by Lost Girls
literally inconceivable to me

So here I am reading Infinity tie-ins when I come across a book called Fearless Defenders, and who's in it? Nextwave's own motherfucking Elsa Bloodstone
HHHNNNGGGG Fearless Defenders was a solid book. And the covers were amazing.
Lemire's run of Green Arrow.
I've ordered comics from Barnes & Noble twice. The books are packaged pretty loosely in a cardboard box. So basically, don't order anything heavy (AKA stick to paperbacks) and you'll probably be okay. I ordered some hardcovers once and got one with a corner that was pretty messed up. But I ordered three Hellblazer TPBs (which are super light because they've got that Vertigo newspaper paperstock) and they were perfectly fine. So yeah, I'd suggest ordering some TPBs with your gift cards. Plus their TPB prices are pretty good online, almost the same as IST. Their hardcover and omnibus prices are significantly higher than IST prices though.

Yes, I have, bought six books back in DEC when they had the buy two get one free sale. They're packing is like Amazon's, put in a box with packing material, no other means of protection. I had some damaged corners, but nothing that wouldn't happen from regular use.
I don't know, some HCs I've seen had some pretty bent corners. The TPBs actually are in surprisingly good condition.

Started Busiek's run on Avengers and even though I'm really early on I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Outside of Uncanny and bits of Bendis Avengers, I basically have zero experience with the Avengers so it's pretty fun to read a big superhero team book. The dialogue is making it really enjoyable, everyone is so lively!

Thanks for the help guys. Sounds like I will be ordering some paperbacks whenever I decide to place the order. There TBP prices are pretty fair but I think when it comes to hardcovers I'll just stick to IST

Such a classic run, can't wait for the omnibus. It's like the ultimate run of comics from my younger years.
That and the Annihilation Conquest omnis in the next few months...oh baby.

Yeah I can see why it's so highly praised. It's really good fun so far.
I think I may just keep the subscription to scribd after my free month. If they can properly update and keep up with the library this is going to be a great service. Wish DC and Image were on it too, but between Marvel, Valiant, and IDW I'm pretty damn satisfied at the moment.

still my favorite Avengers run ever. The Last arc is soooo epic
i'm one of those people hoping the Star Wars books come to Marvel Unlimited because $4.999999999...and because i don't trust those books to be good for any length of time.

It's on MU. Its the 1998-2004 run of "Avengers". Busieks run is #1-#56
