Yeah there was a big delay and then issues 2 and 3 shipped out of order. 2 was meant to be 3 or vice versa. I agree the series didn't find its feet until the suburbs part. But I believe they retooled the arc after lukewarm reaction to the first issue. But thats just speculation.

Yes and then they had to release of couple of issues out of order due to one of the artists being slow as shit.
Edit: shit beaten by a good 20 minutes.

Furries AND BDSM tho? The world can't handle it.
Starbrand and Nightmask #1: decent first issue, i don't think i'm sold on it to pre-order monthly since i only ordered this issue, but i'll read it on MU for a few more. One minor problem i have with books is when they draw characters way too young, Starbrand looks like a kid who's going to college, and unless that's on purpose it's just weird at times. A fairly tame opening issue while trying to ramp up at the end. Random 5/10
Since i'm not buying this monthy i'm not going to redeem the digital code. Whoever quotes this post first and in 1000 words or less describes why they are a fan of Roman Reigns gets the digital code.
I'll know if you aren't really a fan and code award will depend on this. Believe that.

It'll have been fun whilst it lasted.Looks like Rebirth will be the end of it so it likely wont get a chance to live up to the first run
It's tied with Nightwing for mine.
Bummer. I didn't enjoy his Nightwing run (though it had potential), but I liked Power Rangers. I think I'm reading one other thing by him, but I can't recall what it is. He's a decent writer.
Put it this way: Nemesis more or less accomplishes what it's trying to do (a 13 year old's idea of Batman) whereas Civil War barely holds together as a story.
Also Nemesis has way better fights

I feel like this could go for many events, Secret Invasion immediately comes to mind. New Avengers #31 was so good for a WTF moment with Skrull!Electra's body. It could have been Battlestar Galactica With Superheroes, we got one issue of set-up and then seven more of casual alien murder, oh and we blew up The Wasp, 'cause reasons.
If only they had a second chance at it...

Working my way through this massive backlog of floppies (still haven't made a dent in the pile of IST orders)
Caught up on WicDiv, Daredevil up to the end of Waid/Samnee and Sam Wilson: Captain America.
Sam Wilson is fantastic. Love how it is pretty damn goofy (CapWolf!) but manages to still feel like a Captain America book.

Yes. Get the trades and don't bother with the deviantart page. The art has been fixed in the trades and it read much better there.
Don't sandbag the book as a joke. Its not fair to it.
Sandbags are solid and dependable and prevent flooding. That's honestly some high praise for a good book.
Dude come on
M9 it's a good book. Vol 4 came out today but IST is too embarrassed to put it on the front page.

I have that issue! Pretty dope.
I love Bendis, but even then I'm still worried.
Goddamn
CapWolf was the worst part about that book by a lot.
Not wrong...

Someone sent this to Tim Seeley on twitter and I had completely forgotten about it. Whatever happened to this Suicide Squad lineup. They never ended up in the book right?
The big guy and Reverse Flash did. Don't know about the others.

Glad to hear it. I just downloaded it, but I've had my fill of games today with Far Cry Primal. I'll definitely play through it over the coming days.
Lets keep in mind that you love everything to do with the comic universe of walking dead which this is based and that you love Michonne lol

Umm... Those things are true about me, too.
I also ordered the Wayward HC with my IST order. Dis better be good.
Bendis: I kill people because...
And before people say AvX, he just wanted to kiss ass since he was jumping from Avengers to X-Men.
I hope you enjoy both then.
You just have to be wary of which telltale shows up for this game. GoT/Minecraft Telltale or Walking Dead S1/Tales of the Borderlands Telltale.
I hope its good though.

Which are the good ones and which are the bad?
Walking Dead, Borderlands and Wolf among us are very good. The rest not so much.

Walking Dead Season 1 and Tales from the Borderlands are considered to be Telltale's best games. Wolf Among Us is my personal favourite and I like all three.
I haven't played Game of Thrones or Minecraft. I don't think I will bother with Thrones as I find the show a slog (that didn't stop me buying it though), and Minecraft, well my friends that like Minecraft and Telltale say it's good. I'll get it in the Summer Sale.

I want to read Hellboy and BPRD 1953, but I'm not caught up on my Mignolaverse. Would it be a bad idea to jump right into that?

Superman/Wonder Woman & Superman: I'm grouping these two as one thing because, well, I'm lazy.
Ultimately... I'm pretty disappointed with how this story turned out. Sure, it's had some cool moments, but the sheer potential from those first couple of issues of Greg Pak's run never really got realized, instead traded for another bombastic "punch fools, save the world" plot. Don't get me wrong, it does that pretty well, but it could have been so much more.
Still, we got Mythbrawl out of it, so I guess I've got no real reason to complain. Definitely going to want to sit down with a collected version of the entire arc, see if it reads better that way.
Justice League: This is definitely an event book. How do I know it is? Because the big bad just waved his hand and a half-dozen Green Lanterns died! That is absolutely event book material.
Anyway, things are heating up. Crime Syndicate jobbing hard (as expected), but the heroes aren't doing a lot better. Someone's gonna have to pull one hell of a rabbit out of their hat.
Art is great too, btw. I love the visuals on God Superman.

Read Hellboy and the BPRD 1952 first, but yeah, you can jump in. The first few issues of 1953 have been really good so far.

Got an extra thousand dollars lying around, Messi?
5-11 seems kind of tall for Harley, though, even with the heels.
For a statue of my least favorite Arkham Harley costume? No thanks. I was always of the belief she was fairly tall. Recently anyway.

Seriously, if I was going to drop a grand on Harley, it would be this one from Prime 1. So beautiful.
