Flash was a basically a fill-in one-shot this week. It was a fun read for someone like me who is jumping on.
Batwoman. Another book I'm jumping on and trying. It was alright, nothing special. I'll keep trying it out.
Damian Son of Batman have been ok every month. Great art with some questionable writing. Looks like the last book in this mini will be interesting.
Justice League Dark was awesome again. Not much else to say other than that.

I had zero comics this week and last. I might give Manhattan Projects a go eventually, but I had enough with Avengers and New Avengers due to Hickman's grand plotting not gelling with me so I dropped them like a sack of potatoes after Infinity.
Anyways in previews, Winter Soldier: The Bitterest March is looking cool enough since Real Fury is featured, but apparently Ran Shen is going to be the main "hero", which is kind of a bummer. Brubaker and Latour wrote Bucky really well in flashbacks when he was still brainwashed by the Soviets, so it's kind of unfortunate Remender is making him a distant version of"The Terminator" (his own words). Still, it'll be interesting to see The Iron Nail when he was a spy for SHIELD.
I just want a WS solo to hurry up and come back though, you've got 5 months to the movie Alonso, c'mon, I'm waiting for you to make it happen.

I can't wait until one of our heroes is revealed to be an Inhuman. And we find his true self is dastardly and evil. Coming to Marvel Comics this summer in, Who Killed The Watcher?

Imo Fatale is one of the best books out, Bru and Phillips as a team is such a satisfying experience, it kind of doesn't matter much what the subject matter is anyway, the reading itself is just so good. That said, the plot is very cool and intriguing. I've personally only reading the first year (got the third volume sitting to read though) so for me a lot of plot threads are still waiting to come together, but just great storytelling in general.
Revival, I enjoy, enough to keep on with, but I have considered dropping off once or twice. I do really like it when I go back and actually read it, but sometimes I've forgotten/lost interest a little in the wait between volumes. I think it's difficult for Revival since there's so many god tier horror books around today, but I'm holding on for now. Got the second volume here, so fingers crossed for good things.
Eh, close enough!

Over the last couple of days I read all of Y - The Last Man. Was very good couldn't put it down, BKV is a genius. I'd say compared to Saga it was way more fun reading it all together instead of waiting for monthly issues.
Next up is Snyder's American Vampire, hope it's good the art looks wonderful.

Saga desperately needs an editor. His previous works and Saga are indistinguishable. It's like Saga is being ghostwritten by Kelly Sue DeConnick.
So how many books would that make KSD (ghost)writing? Her own stuff, all of Fractions, and now Saga? She's like Charles Soule!
argh...
sad to see the comments on Hawkguy and Saga...I did drop them due to some tiredness rather than them being bad.
I'm on a 100% Snyder diet...
I picked the latest Superior Spiderman, but the book is going nowhere, and the art is pretty weak for a 3.99$ bi-monthly
I have some faith in the upcoming Wolverine re-reboot tho.

Saga is fine if you just pretend it's season 5 of Lexx.
They make about as much sense.
That being said it is finally going somewhere again after six issues.

That's awesome man. I love Chihuahuas too, the place we go to have our dog's hair cut, the aldy there has the yappiest Chihuahua, it's hilarious. We have an exciteable yet fairly silent Yorkie, she's weird ha.
Y followed by AmVamp? You sir, are on a roll. I hope you have Locke & Key and/or Sweet Tooth to follow those with. If so ,you will literally have hit my 4 "if you haven't read it.." recommendations for peeps.
Hey man ,did you spot my Parker Q on the first page?

Hell On Earth will be collected as similar omnibuses to Plague Of Frogs but only once it's completely finished. Plague of Frogs ran a good 11 volumes or so, but there's no guarantee Hell On Earth will run the same. I believe there's potential for a 1940s Omnibus at some point too, but I've never heard any discussion of Library editions of BPRD. I don't have a source on that stuff right now, but I'm pretty sure Scott Allie has addressed questions about Hell On Earth omnibuses a few times now. He's the best guy to follow to get an inkling on where they're going, both plot and publishing wise with the Mignolaverse.
EDIT: Ah, got it:
So expect something similar to Plague Of Frogs, oppose to what Hellboy does.

Picked up a few X-Men collections at the comic store yesterday as well as the first volume of Saga. I've been out of the game for over a year but figured I'd dip my toe back in to see what I've been missing.
I just discovered that Velvet is a new book that is written by Brubaker and colored by Bettie Breitweiser, a team that was constantly killing it when they were working on Winter Soldier. I read the first two issues and, with the exception of a lack of supernatural and high-tech aspects to the plot, it gives off massive Winter Soldier vibes. Loving it so far, and would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a new book.
Also if anyone hasn't read Memorial by Roberson, that's also a mini-series I highly recommend. It's a six-parter that I would compare to Fables in its subject matter. Turns out they released a second nine-part miniseries that continues the story, so I'm going to check that out next.

Liefeld wishes he can draw that many characters with no feet in one picture
Pretty fantastic trip to the store today. They were having a HC clearance sale so I got:
Daredevil vol 1
Immortal Iron Fist vol 2 and 3
All for 18 euro. Pretty good I think. Just gotta get vol 1 of Iron Fist now and I can start reading.
Oh and they also got in the first two volumes of Brubakers Catwoman. But those were 28.99 each :/

Im going to say Death. Theyve had an on again off again thing for a while, and it would certainly explain why everyon ein the Mu is there.
just bought one today, no major complaints. Read a little of Monster on the Hill on my ipad kindle app.
I'd love to see Liefeld's take on that promo piece.

Odd... I guess this is the final, correct colored version of that promo. The red probably would have given it away too early..
EDIT: Also, if you look at the background of it the latest invitation promo seems to shoot down ideas that it's Death (unless that's Taskmaster, can't really tell).

I loved Buzzkill 1-3. I just thought it was good, clever, thought-provoking comics. But I kind of hated the conclusion. I thought it was a shitty, nonsensical cop-out. And, yeah, end a comic about addiction on a note of hopelessness and obliteration. Very nice.
Love your icon, btw. Happy Noodle Boy is the greatest.

I read Sage volume 2, y'all, and I loved it to bits. The way you folks been talking about Saga though I'm worried my taste has fallen to an all new Harley Quinn #1 low.
Saga is still fun to read even when the story isn't moving forward much. I've been enjoying it still and you know my taste isn't Harley Quinn #1 bad.

Yo, don't say that, Jimmy Palmiattty and Amanda Conner are now watching this thread. Two very talented and handsome creators who created a very talented and handsome comic called Hawkeye.
