"Interesting" is the last word I'd use. This is the stupidest premise for a Spider-Man comic done in the absolute stupidest way, and it should cement Dan Slott as the worst Spider-Man writer since Howard Mackie.
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
So, Superior Spider-Man #1 leaked.

hahahahahaha. hahaha. haha.

That is all.

Wow, sounds like you finally really like a Dan Slott book if you find it so humorous. I can't wait to read it!

"I'm working on it," del Toro says. "I'm writing the outline and we're already in talks with a writer. A very, very good writer. People are probably going to be happy with who we have chosen. He accepted. I've been courting this writer, who I think is the perfect guy for this job. We're doing it. Hopefully it will happen."

The Pacific Rim director goes on to hint that the lineup for the project includes Swamp Thing, The Demon, John Constantine, Deadman, The Spectre and the father/daughter pair of Zatara and Zatanna.

Del Toro is working on the DC "Justice League Dark" movie! Anyone else thinking Gaiman is working on the screenplay?
 
Hippolyta's back!

Hippolyta's front!

I wonder how Bunn is going to explain
how she came back to life, after being decapitated by her daughter Artume in Incredible Hercules. Maybe she landed on the resurrect space when she spun the big wheel at the underworld casino, after Janet?
 
Really don't need to start reading more but how is Fear Agent? Looks interesting.

Pretty damn awesome. Sci-Fi high adventure with heart, characters you give a damn about. Some FANTASTIC artists as well, Tony Moore and Jerome Opena do most of the issues, with fill-in art by Francesco Francavilla. Maybe Remender's best work

high octane sci fi action combined with an emotionally charged tale of a broken man and his quest for redemption. one of the best comics i've had the pleasure of reading.

Oh god, there goes more money, will try and pick it up this week, thanks guys.
 
Thanks to the suggestions for Comixology's Daredevil sale. I grabbed the first ten issues of Mark Waid's run as well as Daredevil: Yellow. Looking forward to reading these once I catch up on my backlog.

I asked earlier in the thread, but I wasn't able to get an answer, does anyone here own the Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft Special Edition hardcover? I already own this in the standard edition printing, but I'd love to hear some thoughts on the quality of the printing of the omnibus-style edition. In otherwords, help me justify ordering this on Amazon.
 
So guys. I haven't posted in the comics threads in awhile. Anyway, I got a Nexus 7 for Christmas (+ my birthday) and I read a ton of digital comics over the holidays.

Got caught up on Baltimore (gothic horror bliss), X-O Manowar (pulp bliss), Saga (looks ridiculously good on the tablet), the last ASM arc (omg!), All-New X-Men (Bendis is back) and Storm Dogs (good enough for a "sci-fi in space" whore like me).

Long live the digital age. I might never go back to buying singles, but I sure am going to shell out for the occasional hardcover. I'm looking at you Fear Agent Library Edition!

We bought my partner's brother a Nexus 7 for Christmas as well. He absolutely loves it and hasn't put it down since. I installed the Comixology app for him and it has opened him up to the idea of digital comics. The biggest advantage he has found in reading digital is the space he saves in storage. He already has filled one long box and didn't want to have to buy another one, as we won't have a great deal of storage space available.

Yeah reading comics on my iPad is so smooth that's why I love getting the free digital code that comes with four dollar Marvel books. Oh and those 99 cent Marvel deals they have are fucking dangerous for your wallet especially stuff like Mark Waid's Daredevil is on sale.

yeah, tell me about it. you won't be disappointed, though.

preach. monthly digital floppies on the iPad + hardcover special editions for the creme de la creme = ideal comics reading.
 
Oh man every time I see that Guillermo Del Toro DC Dark project it just keeps getting better and better. I hope the writer is Gaiman and the movie is basically 3 hours of live action Vertigo comics.

I fucking knew it.

Well, guessed that would be what he wanted us to wait for.

...Shit, I can't afford this...

EDIT: Oh well, I'm on that Scarlet Spider now, so.

A lot of Image books seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. Mudman, Morning Glories, Danger Club, Secret. Have any of them been canceled and i just didn't see the announcement?

You may as well be a Bronie at this point. It's the only way to have worse taste.

Whatever bro. I've never touched any of Gaiman's comics but just based on all the shit I've seen him write for the screen (Mirror Mask, Stardust and that episode of Dr. Who last year) I don't think he will stop until he has put the whole world to sleep. The only thing I liked from Del Toro was Pan's Labyrinth. His Hellboy movies were 110% forgettable (I have, in fact, forgotten everything about both of them except that they were bad and boring). I don't know Hellboy so I dunno if they were his fault or the source material's but they were shitty cinema.

That's just the way creator owned goes brah. Morning Glories and Danger Club are definitely still going. Mudman schedule was always random and terrible.

Probably the same time the death of that Japanese death god emptied a lot of hell out.

Hickman said in the back of Manhattan Projects 7 that Secret isn't dead, but will never be monthly again.

I really like the recommendations yall gave me. I really liked fear agent, X force, fantastic four written by Hickman, but what websites do you guys visit. I'm wondering because sometimes comic book resources has really hit or miss recommendations. I am all for independent comics but when top 10 list Are made of mostly all independent comics it seems like a hipsters list.

IDK, but good creative team. Was wondering what they were gonna give Coipel to draw.

i also dont know what im looking at, but it's hard not to be intrigued by that lineup
i hate that the 90s kid in me partly wants it to be X-man, after everything

McCrea got a LOT better during the course of Hitman.

splash-hitman-50.jpg

excellent scene, excellent call. that was my wallpaper like forever

please don't be x-23 or anything else terrible looking. I'm already disappointed that Cornell is on Wolverine, i hope this book sounds more interesting.

as a wolverine fan, i support this. his books are 90% shit when you dont somehow land someone amazing like aron, rucka etc on them

Amazon has Hellboy Library vol 6 up for pre-order, allegedly releasing in July.....i'll be hording up my Hellboy in Hell issues until then so i can finally catch up!

dammit i like just got # 4, ill never catch up at this rate! i gotta go see which arcs 6 has now...does anybody else really wish they'd do these for BPRD one day?

I really like Hellboy in Hell but sometimes I have a hard time understanding what is going on due to the artwork.

first time ive ever heard that, for me that's usually artists like ashley wood or templesmith

Fuck Marvel and their shit animated movies. If they had any brains we'd be getting XMen: Inferno, Miller's DD, Iron Fist etc.

Instead we have to settle for Disney crap Spidey and Hulk vs Thor.

im apparently one of the few who dug wolvy vs hulk, planet hulk etc and would really like to see more from them - passed on Strange (wasnt that the same studio as the iron man one?), since i read avengers animated fell off they don't have much left

eeewwww

fig newtons

why ya'll hatin

You didn't like Stardust? I'm sorry you can't enjoy fun stuff.

When the fuck is this coming back? I finished that paperback when it came out and have been waiting for this fucking book to ship ever since.
