Makes the book worth it. Regarding Vision...
Ultron is coming home. Maybe he's fidgeting around with his systems. Or, lol, maybe he was taken over by his murdering wife hue hue hue

I was considering dropping ANAD Avengers but it improved with #4 and #5.

I have not even seen that before. Gonna have to check it out.
What about Guardians of the Galaxy?
Only ongoing team book I'm reading is Justice League and I'm enjoying it. I'm sure BPRD is the best one on the stands too but I need to start Hell on Earth still.
Spoilers: You guys will spoil half of the books anyways.
The pull during this:
The main 3 books, ANAD Avengers, New Avengers and SHIELD that's it. Captain America will be a wait and see.
Finally finished Sunstone vol3.
Laughed a lot more than I expected, though I'm not sure how I feel about the relationship going forward. Feels like he's going to drop it into obvious sitcom/tv drama territory with Lisa and Ally not being able to come clean about being gay and what their relationship actually means to each other. Still, didn't want to put it down and I'm really enjoying it overall.
Also, not that I mind, but almost all the women are drawn exactly the same: tall, thin, large breasted, with slight facial variation and different hair styles/colours. I was hoping it would take a less stereotypical comic book approach to the female character designs, especially as more characters were intrroduced, but I guess not. At least the guys look vastly different.
Moving on to the Green Arrow hardcover, and Lemire does not disappoint (though I'm like one issues worth of story in and am lost as hell, having never read Green Arrow before).
Also, will get to Wicked and the Divine vol3 as soon as I can, have been waiting months for this one.
Hope Beauty and Howard the Duck can continie being great as well.

Sunstone is going to shift focus to a different couple at the end of vol 5 btw.
Anyone else reading ANAD Weirdworld? I am loving all the characters and #3 was especially great. Del Mundos art is stunning as usual. Real sad that it isn't selling well.

Don't forget, Sunstone Vol.4 this week.
Just one more heads up in case my message got missed: That Valentine's day Archie 50% off code on Comixology applies to the Mega Man and Sonic stuff from them too. The Mega Man at least is amazing and I'd definitely freely recommend it to anyone who's interested (and the same goes for at least the Sonic stuff post reboot, I'd say).

TFAW is listing it for this week.
Del Mundo is freaking brilliant. Dude needs a hit lol
Previewsworld says next week and my stores email listing didn't have it coming this Wednesday.

Haven't read it but Max is Marvel's mature line, so yeah

Was it wacky and full of hijinx?
Archie needs to lower the price of those Mega Man trades.
Surrrrrre, maybe mature hijinx.

Yeah.
Great news. If it keeps up this quality I would be so in for a lovely hardcover of the whole thing.
Would hate for it to overstay it's welcome having to string out new stories. Some books are better as contained series. Much like Starfire

I'd be fine with Vision ending in 12 issues as long as it has a good ending. Could be the Superior Foes of ANAD Marvel. Only without Marvel trying to screw over its fans hopefully.
Wait, what?
everything you like ends in 12 issues if you are lucky.
Also, today's Walking Dead episode was kinda good? Maybe, not sure yet. I think this only improves Trump's chances for president though.

Lol I'm exaggerating but they didn't really hide the fact that they were trying to milk its readers. It was always planned to have 15 issues and they upped the price before it ended with the excuse that it might help the series live longer or something IIRC. Normally $3.99 books come with digital codes too but they just never included them for one of the issues. They also just kinda released out two random filler issues without the main creative team in less than a month which was kind of weird.

It's fine so far, but for some reason he angers me. Same thing in ANAD Avengers

This is an attack on modern vocabulary.
So I finished up to Volume 5 of Green Arrow. You can actually spot the point at which an editor at DC actually started reading the book when Nocenti was writing and what a disaster it was, and then obviously a mandate came down to make it like the TV series now. But at least at that point it's actually entertaining, so fair enough.
Now I have the complete run of Preacher. Observations so far -
1. It's really quite good (at least deep into Volume 2 as I am).
2. The art holds up really well compared to some books of it's age, the visual storytelling is pretty great and the inks are strong.
3. There's a lot of ****ing pages in these trades, this is gonna take a few weeks.

Plastic Man (Police Comics #20 ): Plastic Man Archives v1 was great but #20 was definitely a stand out. Concentrates on Woozy Winks and Cole (!) and it is hilarious.
It is available to read here (and there's no real context required to jump in).

So, can someone explain why Kid Nova is so hated? Like, he irks me a bit, but I mostly find him to be average more than anything. I mostly just exaggerate for humor
He's insufferable in the cartoon.
