Marvel double shipping: The problem, aside from the price, is that Marvel aren't actually lowering the amount of books. For every book they cancel they announce 2 more and for every event that ends more books than at the start are announced.
Messi, didn't you count up how much it would cost to follow the X-Men line after IvX?

Marvel and DC are always going to try and publish around the same number of books a month. Whenever a new book is announced it's usually replacing something else.

Some people are really expecting this to be a travesty.
I'm worried about this and i'm hoping it will be good.

Convince me not to get the new Conan Omnibus and The goon library volume 1. 
In my head for the first 5 issues and the Rebirth style starting point. It will cost $26 per series. That is 3 series (gold, blue weapon x) apparently weapon x is double shipping. Same goes for Inhumans and Guardians.
Want to follow all those series for a month? $40 before you pick up a single title other book. Add that to the likelihood of the cap books and spidey going double. This is going to hurt the smaller books. The likes of Spider-Woman or Wasp. Peoples money only goes so far. My money doesn't go that far.
Frank Chos next Harley cover
Nice

I meant books of that level

Don't get it. We wouldn't want you enjoying yourself.
I'm guessing that Weapon X and the Inhuman book are only double shipping the first month since they didn't announce it as such like they have done with books like Guardians and the other X books.
I'd understand that for Weapon X but I doubt they would for Inhumans. They are all about making things equal for Inhumans

Urgh, it's snowing here again.
I'M not expecting a travesty, but Im expecting it too follow the general story beats the other series have and I don't think it will have the flavors that kept the others fresh.

Dropped Jojo's Bizarre Adventure v1 and Kill My Mother about 20% in. Couldn't really get into them.
Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur on the other hand is quite adorable. Might have to re-up MU to catch up on this.

Blade. Please.
The trade dress for the Hanna Barbera books looks awful. I seen Scooby Apocalypse in big bang today. Yuck.
That top banner is on all the books like Rebirth but I think it doesn't work.

Comic artists should get with the times and stop drawing tribal tattoos on characters.

Hopefully any DHC will look better if they happen.

Sent a question to a friend who helps with getting the books to stores in Scandinavia. Gave him a few free tickets last summer which he still owes me for.
The omissions are stranger than the inclusions. To me none of the choices surprised me. What is odd is no Detective Comics - even when we have Action Comics coming - (particularly considering Detective is almost universally seen as better), WW, or Suicide Squad.

The demo was really fun.
I'd definitely buy a Wonder Woman hardcover. It's the best of the Rebirth books I've read.
Yeah, was just a bit confused because I expected a RPG and got a 2D/3D Hack & Slay Shmup

Quick message back: On the way but no dates. Told me Amazon will probably find out before him. Did tell me that I'll probably want to pick up the Year One book out this Fall.
I guess they could be waiting on wonder woman to have two full current arcs and two year one arcs.
Yeah, they have to be waiting for something on WW.

Maybe they're waiting until the movie comes out so they have something to sell?
Walking Dead #163:
Random this book has been going on awhile and i'm losing interest/10.
Invincible was good but i had
Random 7/10
New Rick is basically just a bunch of smirking panels and then shouty panels. I'm starting to think the book would have been better if he had died at the end of All Out War and Carl inherited the world earlier.
Invincible was good but i had
forgotten that Eve had extra super final form powers during a previous battle so it seemed kinda "wowwwwwwww" then " ehhhhhhhh" but it was still a tense issue.

I like that there's no protagonist now. It's a MUCH better book, since Kirkman can't write an interesting character to save his life.
Well the Rebirth deluxe editions all come out after the WW movie. I think they're just doing the WW by Perez Omnibus Vol. 2 for the movie.
Edit: although maybe you mean they're waiting to announce it until the movie comes out.

Rick has always been the worst.
Reads really well in the first hardcover and some great extra content.
In the last year and a half or so
Paper Girls
Monstress
Motor Crush
Kill or Be Killed
Black Monday Murders
Seven to Eternity
I hate Fairyland
Injection
Those are all fairly high profile
One of my favorite events of recent. Even liked a few of the tie-ins.

Maybe the deluxe HCs for WW are also going to collect the alternate issues like the trades? That might explain the delay.
