Holy shit this bad. Bad, bd, bad. It's like it is written by Tony Daniel. I don't need to go through such horrors on the day of th death of Young Justice and Green Lantern.

Nah, their New X-Men was actually decent, despite the shitty massacre. The problem with X-Force was that it was a no substance snuff-comic. They seemed to be obsessed with abusing and torturing X-23.
Uncanny X-Force for sure.

Goddamn beautiful.
Aquaman's head is terrible. It's like WB tween Arthur. Everything else is awesome.

Pretty much. I still like captain marvel on the strength of the writing but it went from one shitty artist to another shitty artist. God that first issue with colored in line-y as fuck captain America really must have turned some people off.

It's not bullshit
Jeff Lemiere is more than likely rebooting DC Presents because he has been posting pics of Kamandi, spectre, and several other random charecters on his twitter suggesting he's going to be writing an anthology book.

I'm horrible with volume numbers since Marvel loves to relaunch stuff, but if X-Force vol 2 was Milligan and Allred, that book was really, really good. Not really an X-book like the others you listed, but it's own self contained thing. I liked X-Force as much as I liked Morrison's run when they were both being released.
EDIT: I just checked ComicbookDB. X-force vol 2 was some Liefeld mini. Skip that. Milligan/Allred run is vol. 1 from #116 to the end of the volume. It then continues in X-Statix
Onslaught was very clearly a marketing gimmick first and a story second. If you are going to look at the big mid-late 90s X-book crossovers, I'd say it was Age of Apocalypse > Operation Zero Tolerance > Onslaught
I'm about 99% sure he's talking about the Kyle/Yost Stabby X-Men/can't see shit cuz it's so fuckin dark run.

Nice nice... I kinda want that Aquaman minifig too... Have to hunt for different hair though, as I'm not digging Arthur's hair too much.
I remember modding my Lego Hawkeye with hair from the tennis player minifig, it makes a world of difference really.

The Mark Waid run from 2005? The first 12 issues are actually the only Legion I ever read (although I recently read Legion of 3 worlds too)

99% of my comics are either digital or tpbs/HCs.
See if they have a digital storefront thru Comixology. If they do they get a cut off all your purchases if you do it through them. It's not a big cut, but they should be thankful that you haven't just abandoned them altogether.
Now that you mention it I think they do have one. I'll probably still get trades there but I hate to bag and board everything and find space. Reading on the iPad is fine or on one of my laptops even.
My lcs has some kind of digital set up but fuck that garbage.
Beautiful bag and boarded floppies for life. THEY'LL BE THE CHILDREN I'M NEVER GOING TO HAVE.
The comic called Batman is a good Batman comic.
The current "Batman" and "Batman and Robin" are good.
I think, overall, Wood's Conan has been really strong although the changing artists per 3 issues is a bit of a drag. James Harren run was incredibly fantastic but Vasilis Lolos couldn't grab me at all in comparison. Really hope they can get Warren back later on down the line. The scripting itself is great stuff, especially if you appreciate the original Queen of the Black Coast story to see more stories within continuity with Belith.

Almost all of the Bat titles are good. It comes down to what you are looking for / how much you are looking for.
Batman: Must get.
Batman and Robin: Must get. Get for Damian stories.
Dark Knight: Optional. Get for brutal Batman.
Detective Comics: Optional. Get for detective Batman.
Batwoman: Must get. Amazing art.
Talon: Must get. Awesome character inspired by the Court of Owls storyline.
Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood are all optional but very good in different ways.
Would it be possible for someone to jump into "new52" Inc?
Batman Inc. is my second best batman book. Its hard for for me to admit that with Morrison being the writer and all but I legitimately enjoy that storyline.

Batman inc is the only batmaan comic worth reading

I can't comment completely as I've avoided Batman Inc, mostly due to the atrocious art. It's just below Captain Marvel in terms of WTF am I looking at?
But as far as I know, you SHOULD be able to jump in as long as you read up on the idea of Batman Inc, ie Bruce Wayne comes out as a financial supporter of Batman and recruits others across the world, you should be good.

This man speaks the truth. Inc is godly every single month.

Except for the art. The art is ass. Inconsistent facial structures. One panel Nightwing is chubby cheek, the next he is gaunt, the next he appears to be missing a cheek bone.
It feels like an artist who does a single pass, shrugs, and says "Good enough".
Guh. Just can't stand it.
You're wrong. Chris Burnham is pop-art Frank Quitley. And he's excellent at it too. So, shut up.

Unless you've read every Batman comic Morrison has written since 2006, no.
Wait what? People don't like Chris Burnham? I guess I can see his style being an acquired taste like Quitely. To each their own.
I'm stoked that Burnham is going to be at my local con this summer, gonna try and get a Batcow sketch.

Do you like the art in Captain Marvel?
I personally can't stand it. I need characters to look consistent. Check out the previews for Batman Inc #7. First 5 pages have like 3 different Nightwings and a Red Robin who looks deformed.
Ha! Awesome! Yeah Burnham is great. He packs tons of little details in the background of his panels. I can see where someone might think his style is sloppy or rushed but I think it looks kinetic and natural. Perfect for a book like this that has lots of action.
What sold me on Burnham was the last Batman Inc volume, issue #4:
Fair enough, I love his stuff because it's so loose. It really fits the tone of story I think.
I dropped Captain Marvel a few issues back because I couldn't deal with the rotating artists. Talk about a disparity between what's on the cover and what's inside, good lord. It's a shame McKelvie didn't get to draw the book since he designed the new costume.

I don't mean to come off as much of a hater. I do appreciate the overall background. But characters themselves just squick me.
reason I asked about Captain Marvel is that the art in there gave me the same vibe. They aren't the same but both have the "As long as it's vaguely a human its good enough" quality to it (to me).
I think it's the cheeks...
