Both Star Wars and Vader are #1-12.
was MU an option for you? I'd suggest reading Image/other stuff monthly and subbing to MU, that way you avoid the constant feeling like you need to buy tie-ins events all the time.
DC also makes comic books but that's not really an issue.

I thought they'd be 10 issues as well until I read the solicitations to be honest. Was pleasantly surprised.
I mean -- if by early Bachalo you mean "over a decade of working professionally Bachalo" then sure, but early Bachalo to me is like... early 90s. Seriously though, Bachalo is fucking great in NXM, and one of the few non-Quitely artists who doesn't completely embarrass himself. The first issue of Assault on Weapon Plus* is like an all time great X-Men comic!
And despite certain problems I have with Planet X and Here Comes Tomorrow, they're a perfect thematic capstone to everything Morrison & co. were building towards, partly a product of Morrison's move to DC but also a really succinct articulation of everything the people who were working on those comics were trying to do
NXM remains the last time the mainline X-Men comic was genuinely exciting and not just "oh this is is really interesting even though you're totally hobbled by the status quo/having to write around a billion events/reverential to Claremont to a fault" (sorry Gillen and Whedon!)
*i dunno why I called it Assault on Weapon X last nite

Re: Aftershock, I read the first issue of Super Zero and it was OK enough, but I haven't followed up on later issues. Insexts is an easy digital pull for me but it's (so far) a body horror lesbian romance/smuttish book so that's probably going to be rather polarizing depending on your tastes. I have a few other #1s but haven't gotten around to reading them yet. In general I'd say it's another indie label with comics you may or may not enjoy!
Well I'm not too hot on being six month late to the party and in this thread, and the last time I tried it the service was a little too much on the shitty side (missing issues, loading issues etc.), but yeah, MU seems unavoidable these days.
Problem is that if it settles the budget issue it increases the OCD one. When you can read so many titles, well, good luck choosing which one. Speaking for my case here, not saying this is an universal issue.
But man, do I miss comics. There is some fantastic feeling when you read a great comic book that I don't get anywhere else.
so good
there's so much craft put in every little goof, I don't mind the book takes its time to come
get it i said come
Nice glad to read. Very interested in this new arc

What's this I hear about Mantis in Guardians 2? Yesssssss.
Whelp. I'm turned on. She's really attractive.

going to continue to my binge
by finishing up Tokyo Ghost and then moving on to black science. After these issues I will decide whether to drop it or it keep it. Since I will be caught up with the recent hardcover that released.
will wait to post summaries after I finish an arc

Oh crap, I didn't realize that Harley Quinn statue Messi posted is actually a 12.75" statue. I thought it was just a colored version of the B&W one. They did the same shit with the Batgirl statue. Like DC just discovered they can make the same shit, but bigger.
The next Image Expo will be happening on April 6th.

So get ready to learn about the comics you'll be buying in the second half of 2017...
Good chance for Hickman to reintroduce Feel Better Now and The Dying & The Dead. Maybe he can tell us what's happening with the future of Manhattan Projects too.

Freeza has the biggest. It's scary.
Mine's not that big and it's mostly anime stuff.
Also, just read Power Man and Iron Fist #1. Loved it. I missed Danny :'(

What was the ratio of Misty to not Misty in the book?

No Misty. Just Danny x Luke bromance and it was great.
it was super good

That is all Secret Wars was. One big tease of cool stuff we'll never get to see again.

Have I wronged you in some way? That was cruel, man. Those eyes, they haunt me.
Edit: Son of a bitch, I posted and they popped up right above my post. It actually scared me for a second.

Yeah really looking forward to the next issue. Really hoping that bunker saved Debbie.
It's just a regular figure, nothing to be afraid of. Although DC did say that on the 12th day of the 12th month it would come alive to feed. They were probably just joking after watching Jeepers Creepers. Probably...

I got the feeling like Luke was mad at Danny for something, like they weren't really friends anymore. And Danny was wearing the black Karre Andrew's Jumpsuit, which already makes me dislike the book a bit.
There was some cute as hell Luke/Jessica/Danielle stuff, though.

Archie #6 - The end of the first arc of is here and I need more. I can't get enough of this series and I want more titles. I hope that new "Betty and Veronica" comic still happens.
Pretty good interview with Mark Waid on the end of the first arc with CBR.

All I really have on display at the moment is my Funkos.
I used to be big into Marvel Legends but I sold up years ago. I still buy the odd one, I have Winter Soldier, Iron Man XLII and Star Lord on my desk.
is the new jughead series any good? does it tie in with the main series (archie)
I am on issue 3 of archie by the way
It would just be a sad picture of like 20 of those under-bed style plastic containers.

Sillymonkey trolling Messi on that Batwoman Bombshell.

I'm enjoying Jughead as well but not as much as Archie. The series don't tie in together, even the Jugheads from each series are kind of different, they both have their own unique voice. Jugheads title is also full of dream sequences that give each issue a theme like pirates, spies, time travel, game of thrones and superheroes. I don't know if they will ever step away from that but so far it is a fun series.
Damn Messi, how many books is that?
