Today a Comic-GAF saga ended:

Holy shit. I thought this day would never come. Congrats!

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I love how the introduction to Red Son claims that Mark Miller doesnt write comics where there is a clear cut between black and white

 

[TheFlow]

Picked up SAGA #34


just going to keep it simple for the next 2 weeks then spurge and buy a lot of back orders.

 

[shingi70]

Y'all should read Cyborg #8. Really fun issue that has a team up between Victor and Billy fighting Kamandi beast dudes. The book is really coming into its own.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I hope Paper Girls isn't as long as Saga. The story feels like it can end at #12 without needing to stretching it out.

I have to grab back issues of Black Science and probably Wayward after I read through the associated hardcovers. Luckily CMX charges $1.99 for old issues of Image books.

It does?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Red Son is good.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

It does?

Ok maybe at #18.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Red Son is good.

Indeed.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Indeed.

Is Superman: A true Brit good, too?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Is Superman: A true Brit good, too?

No. It's a comedy that isn't really funny.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

No

Good, then I will save the money for that.

Why is it bad?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Good, then I will save the money for that.

Why is it bad?

It's just incredibly obnoxious and unfunny. The art is John Byrne at his worst.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Ewh. John Byrne

 

[Schweinehund]

AC Nightwing is just a good design. It's basically a direct copy of his comic design.



But that shit in AK is pitifully bad

AK designs were unmemorable.

I hope whenever they do a Justice League or Superman game, it's Montreal's art team. AO had some of the best designs ever.

As as a side question, is there any book that explains Sinestro's Downfall? I know there is a sinestro issue that gives his origin but it's not really comprehensive. The closest thing I've found is First Flight movie.

 

[Owzers]

Did anyone read Karnak #2? Today is the last day to fiddle with dcbs pre-orders and i'm thinking about dropping Karnak #6 and adding Power Man and Iron Fist #3 instead.

The downfalls of pre-orders...

I replayed AO recently and, from a visual perspective, that game is actually really good. I actually enjoyed that game more than AK.

I'm sure there's an issue or two that's pre-Parallax Hal where the whole downfall of Sinestro is played out. Since that's when it happened.

Green Lantern (vol 2) #7 from 1961.
Here's a couple crappy cellphone pictures:

I'm pretty sure there's a modern retelling of it prior to the Emerald Twilight arc (Green Lantern vol 3 #48-#50) and probably again during Johns run, but this is the basis that has remained cannon since it was first published.

 

[Owzers]

Tornado Watch...i knew there would be consequences for a Roman Reigns avatar but i thought they wouldn't be that bad.

forget watch, I'm in the red. Comics-gaf, wind should never be a thing.

I have no idea what Wayward is even about. One of those image series I never see talked about

Can we all appreciate this double page spread from New Suicide Squad #17. Juan Ferreyra doing work!

 

[Tragicomedy]

Karnak #2 finally? Megaton.

 

[Li Kao]

Batgirl #38 and no, this is just unnacceptable. While not my prefered new DC series I can dig the great art, but are you fucking seriously trying to shove a ridiculously black & white pre-teen movie plot about celebrity and selling-out, here ? Really ? Have the writers been abducted and replaced by some drunk showrunner from the 80's ?
Really irked me. Wider audience doesn't have to mean third rate plotting.

 

[mreddie]

ANAD Avengers and AN Inhumans were dope, also, Squirrel Girl finished off the Doom arc in the weirdest way possible.

Yeah...you should stop reading that book if these are your opinions on that issue. Thats the tone it holds going forward.

 

[TheFlow]

Saga was awesome.

Shit. I want to like the book. But a plot centered around taking selfies and going on a celebrity meltdown makes me groan.

 

[fauxtrot]

How has Max Landis's American Alien been so far? Been meaning to pick it up but I'll probably wait until it finishes releasing.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Kids with powers fighting monsters in Japan.

Bail out lol. This is not like the batgirl that came before it.

Great so far. Art and story has been on point.

 

[Afrodium]

Coming of the Supermen or CMX sale Neal Adams Batman or neither? I've never read Neal Adams.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Extremely good. Only another 3 issues, but with DC's trade schedule being what it is, you might be waiting a while.

 

[fauxtrot]

Awesome, I'm excited to check it out then. I like Max Landis thanks to Wrestling Isn't Wrestling and his Death of Superman videos... maybe he'll write a decent movie one day too. If not, hopefully we'll see him continue writing comics every once in a while.

Way too good dude. Love it.

Harley Quinn #01-03
Not memorable but absolutely entertaining.

Man it's the best book DC is putting out. The book has everything action, romance, girly hihinks.

 

[Messi]

Gotham Academy is their best book imo.

 

[KoruptData]

I hope he is the other artist on Suicide Squad Rebirth.

Horrible layout. I asked my sister and mother to read it and they couldn't figure out which bubbles to read first because the guy at top takes your eyes to the other side of the page then the panels underneath that make it even more confusing.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Man it's the best book DC is putting out. The book has everything action, romance, girly hihinks.

The Omega Men tho.

Also, Martian Manhunter.

Gotham Academy.

Grayson.

Batman.

...

Admittedly I'm pretty behind on Batgirl. Really need to get caught up one of these days.

 

[tim1138]

Midnighter is the best book DC is putting out. The book has everything action, romance, etc

Midnighter is their best book imo.

Midnighter tho.

Also, Martian Manhunter.

Gotham Academy.

Grayson.

Batman.

You are all so right, Midnighter is the best book DC is putting out!

 

[Poodlestrike]

You are all so right, Midnighter is the best book DC is putting out!

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Is good though.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Guys it's Batman. The best are good but Batman has been strong for like 49 issues. That has to be a record in comics.

 

[Afrodium]

Yeah, it's probably Batman. Omega Men is dope though.

Yo, seriously. LOOK AT THIS SHIT

Dope dope dope

 

[Avixph]

Has this been posted yet? Our possible first look at MCU Spider-Man Costume.

 

[fauxtrot]

That's Spider-Man alright!

Could be the new costume but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't. Either way, it's not like it's gonna look that different regardless if this is an official picture of it or not.

Silk was really good this month. Veronica Fish is a wonderful artist. Silk was almost too evil for me though. It made me
