Thanks for the info. I look forward to reading Roughneck when I lift the trade/OGN ban. (I've banned myself from buying any more trades/OGNs until I've read all the floppies, collections and OGNs that I've already bought and not read. Sweet Tooth will be an exception because obvs.)

"Local" Forbidden Planet got a new store. Looks snazzy, going to go tomorrow after seeing John Wick.

This shop looks really cool. That's, like, a life-sized Dalek, holy shit. I would love to have a picture with that.

Was wondering when they would show up again after their AMS appearance right at the start of ANAD. Time for the real TV show push.
Soooooooooo am i buying floppies now solely to finish my East of West collection and in case another Image #1 is worth a lot of money someday like Saga? Because i'm struggling to justify ordering 7 comics from dcbs again and paying 7.50 shipping for them and those seem to be the reasons. No digital codes, and even my recent walking dead/invicible sets are not selling easily on ebay. My floppy reasons are folding faster than a stack of floppies that get attacked by a mild breeze.
Convince me that floppies are still worth it guys. Those spreads, those wonderful two page spreads...

Comichron talks about overshipping and "free" comics. Guess some of those other Marvel books are actually in the danger zone if you remove the free issues.
Oh fuck me.

Finished Paper Girls #11. Is there actually a story here, or have we been hoodwinked?
What if this is what they learned?
The very first issue already ties into the upcoming event. I don't think it's that bad though, given that it sets a clock via a distant threat and that it fits the theme. MCM #0/#1 were pretty good actually.
Heck, the whole planetary shield/refugee crisis thing is (in principle) a great concept that reflects the challenges of our times. Emphasis on "in principle", because they don't really do much with it so far.
It didn't cancelled last time because it bombed. It like the rest of the DCYOU books ended because of Rebirth and like most other core titles got another book.

For a second I thought that was a darker Dan DiDio. Like, I realized it was Axel right afterwards, but there was that split second...

I haven't read them all, but just hearing talk about them it really seems like everyone that goes on the book wants to do the same "Am I more man or machine." type of story just told a different way.
Seems like no one knows what to do with Cyborg.
I seriously fucking hate this. This is ugly. It's well-made, but, it's unbearably ugly. Like, this is Steve Rogers leading a fucking nazi parade. And it's the big event that Marvel are hyping up for 2017. This is legit fucking disgusting. I didn't understand why people were feeling this way before, way back when this all started, but now, not only do I get it, I really want it to bomb spectacularly.

The Identity Crisis of our times.
Tynion seems to be pretty happy about some new toys.
King started a war.

Trump's America even seeping into comics.
Looking pretty empty tbh.
They should invite Steve to speak at CPAC in the book.
BKV is all about that long form storytelling. It's all going to come together don't worry.

Nah. Just cleaner and more organized than the cramped shitholes we have in this country.

I thought Hellcat and Moon Girl had that scholastic deal
That too.

I wouldn't be surprised if unstoppable wasp ended up in that category also. it kind of reads like an educational title, with random science facts just plugged in the middle of it
Do we know if that joined the deal?
I dislike it for for one major reason: it is artificially induced. It removes any punch the story has knowing that a wizard is most likely going to fix Steve down the line.
I could be wrong and Marvel actually takes the long way and try to naturally deprogram him, but then we have someone not fit to be Captain America...
Fuck, I just convinced myself into hating this for 2 - 3 additional reasons.
At the very least it should not have been an event.

I wonder if they'll reach any stretch goals. Usually most of the funding happens the first two days.
This is sad. Comics are too expensive.

I like it. Its like there is a country which proclaims itself all the time as the home of equality, freedom and democracy and suddenly there are nazis running all over the street and own the country, just that there is a character who embodies this country and now embodies also this changes for a couple of months before the invitable status quo change which every idiot could predict makes this character good again. One could argue that this is pretty brave and current idea, but who am I kidding, Comics should stop beeing political. Maybe in 15 years some guy at Image should write a book about it.
And no, you dont need to repeat for the 50th time that Spencer is a incompetent idiot. I got it around the time you said it for the 15th or 20th time.

Low readers know what's up
I miss Low. Seems like it's been ages
What I'm saying is look at the stock 😴😴😴
The Nazi Cap event thing is whatever but what I really want to know is what are they going to do after it. Like how do you move on from making such a well regarded character in your fiction a literal Nazi. What story do you tell with Steve after you have him trying to take over the world and likely kill countless people. It's going to be interesting to see how they tackle the ramifications of this story moving forward. Crazy times.

This is my chief concern as well. I feel it could be done well with patient and cautious handling...but I'm worried that won't happen if Marvel is overeager to get him back to normal. Trying to stay optimistic though.
Edit: that said, as manmademan pointed out to me yesterday, it was Steve and Selvig's memories that were changed, not any actual events, which is an easier fix. They still need to take their time with it in order to do it right, though.

Like, to fully redeem him they already need to go back in time or reveal that Jack Flag's death due to Steve was faked. That's a death that is 100% Steve's fault even before he tried to finish the job before Flag passed away in his coma.
