I would say, despite all the goodwill Hickman had built up over his FF and Avengers runs, the fact that this was an event leading into a reboot killed a lot of that.

The ending to Vision #4 was something. Amazing book.

Yeah, the book is definitely much darker in tone than I thought it would be when it was announced, but it has been a pure joy to read. I'm glad it's set to be a 12 issue series, though. A lot of books go on for too long and it ends up dragging them down. Quality can only be maintained for so long before the story wavers. Then we end up with things like Race of Thieves. But then, the quality was never in the Nocenti Catwoman run to begin with.

Not at all! Appreciate the input. I haven't started reading any yet, but I'll see if it's for me and if I'll buy more before the sale ends.

Accidentally left sub on Marvel Unlimited and read Paul Jenkins run on Inhumans.
This shit was awesome. It is pretty much Game Of Thrones with the Inhuman royal family and I want to read way more after it. I now see the Inhuman light.

If you like Hellboy you will like this comic too; where Hellboy excels with characters progressing the story and characterization, so too does Transformers MTMTE.

I hate read OS. I'm a big fan of Aaron's work but eesh. I still don't know why it was supposed to be important.
AvX was just all over the place and at least served as fight fodder.
Yeah I haven't read all the events. Only listed the ones I remember. Even then I haven't read Secret Invasion in like 7 years.

Scud: The Disposable Assassin #10 - #15, Drywall: Unzipped - This continues to be irreverant, hilarious and really really inventive. I was enjoying it a lot! But
was a little bit off putting. As were the
statements a couple of issues later. I don't know what Schrab was going for. Sarcasm or shock value or whether he thought this was a quick way of "fleshing out the character", it didn't work at all for me.
And surprisingly, all this was in stark contrast to how relatively sensitively written Drywall: Unzipped was.
the rather casually depicted rape, followed by a child abuse fact thrown out as an off hand comment
"Nicholson looked gay"

Dr Pepper probably jumped on them like they did AoU last year, Doritos also has something with Batman V Superman this year like Avengers last year.

This may be the first time in the history of ever I've agreed with a Rob Bricken article on io9.
http://io9.gizmodo.com/reminder-the-big-bang-theory-is-the-goddamned-worst-1757309432
Warning: contains the awful, awful TV show Big Bang Theory shitting on Vaughan and Staples' Saga comic.

Ehhhh, I don't care so much about Mahvel.
I do like me some Doritos tho.
"That its a sexy, funny, tragic, amazing Star Wars for grown-ups?"

Is anyone into the new run of Doctor Strange? I'm new to comics, but not to animated features and the like, so being a fan of this character, I thought I'd start with the new stuff. Anyone else? Any other quintessential Doc Strange stuff that you'd recommend?
Doctor Strange's new book seems fairly popular around here, you should give it a try. I'm still not completely sold on the plot but i do like Bachalo's art a lot.

In fairness, the average Big Bang Theory viewer is still on colour-by-numbers books.

Yeah, I'd definitely recommend it. It's the first Doctor Strange comic I've read and I've really enjoyed the first four issues.

I didn't word my post well at all. I'm actually on the fifth issue of the new run, and really enjoying it. Any back issue story arcs that are "can't miss" for the doc?

Well, I've just read the issue of the Avengers where Ultron gets his first reveal. I think.
Jarvis is in need of money for an operation for his Mother. Yet, despite working for one of the wealthiest men in America, he decides to gather a bunch of has-been Villains... I mean even for Marvel this is dumb.

*sees Zack Snyder's comments about Superman*
"Anyone who knows the true canon knows I didn't change Superman"
*blinks furiously at the notion of there being a true canon* remembers that they had a speech that went most of the way to defining Superman at the start of the film*
Anyhoo...time to jump aboard the Hawkeye bookclub.

I was gonna say both Secret Wars events prior to this one and Infinity Gauntlet. Plus there's Age of Apocalypse and Atlantis Rising.
Isn't Dr. Strange: Season One supposed to be really good?
The best in storytelling
I have no idea what canon he could be referring to, because I can't remember a time when Superman just fucking gave up and snapped a neck, like "welp, I tried everything, so I'm gonna get my necksnap on".
BossDarkseid

Lol, exactly. Part of me isn't annoyed about it because it's not like it is literally comic Superman or whatever favorite incarnation people have...but it just feels so...
Mixolydian

I always took it as creative license on what made Superman feel so strongly about not killing after he did that.
TetraxShards

I haven't read it. The only Season One book I've read was X-Men, which was pretty good, Hopeless/McKelvie.
BossDarkseid

Hmm, true. To be honest I fluctuate between the two sides of the argument.
Like, every other thing people say about destruction or whatever is kinda complete bullshit, because shit gets hella destroyed in big comic fights all the time and it makes for the kind of big visual spectacle Snyder is super good at.
But Superman doesn't just give up and snap a dude's neck. That's what the Phantom Zone is for, dangit.
mmmm Dr Pepper
Also, anyone have good recommendations on the Spotlight/one shot issues from that Transformers sale?
They didn't shit on it, but I do find the irony of folks on the Internet like Bricken losing their shit like that over that sitcom to be rather amusing.
Superman killed, and his regret over that was a fairly big characteristic of post Crisis supes for a while.

He should learn from WW. I hear she has snapped quite a few necks.

Since nerds can't handle a cover that shows breastfeeding maybe it would be better to have the next cover be a dragon sucking his own dick. Gotta keep it family friendly right?
I would like a cover that incorporates both.

Kotobukiya posted teasers of their new bishoujos. Harley Quinn v.2 and Spider-Gwen. Full reveals coming at WonFest [late] tomorrow night.
Freezasaurus

The bishoujo line from Kotobukiya is a relatively cheap alternative to the vast majority of figures out there. They generally range for about $55-$70 each, and for the price-quality ratio, they can't be beat.
I collect a lot of gundam kits that I display so it is more of a space issue than a interest issue.
but is there a good site to buy these statues at?
Freezasaurus

The usual Japanese shops if you want to get them as soon as they come out. AmiAmi, Hobbysearch, HLJ.
If you're patient, they hit Amazon about a month later. If you're really patient, you can just keep an eye on the price, as most of them will eventually hit $55 on Amazon.
They're pretty widely available and you usually don't have to worry about getting one you want. Kotobukiya's production runs are pretty massive. If you really want one, I'd grab it within the first few months it's out, because once they start to get scarce they seem to shoot up in price pretty drastically. And as much as I love these, I wouldn't pay more than $100 for any one statue.
Ahh Ty, I will look more into this.
