Peter coming back was a done deal once this image from their April previews leaked earlier this week:

Maybe they put Peter in a spare body? Wait I know. It'll become some Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde type situation. Peter isn't permanently back, but it becomes a split personality type thing.

How are the transformers comics these days?

MTMTE is fantastic and highly recommended. RID less so.

How are the transformers comics these days?

More than Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise are sister books situated after the war between Deceptions and Autobots has ended.

MtMtE is by far the superior one with an incredible cast of B and C-Lister Transformers and great character development. It is one of my favorite books currently coming out. I reccomend it to everyone, even non-Transformers fan.

RiD focuses more on the more known characters like Bumblebee and Starscream while dealing with more political and social issues of the post war Cybertron. It is much weaker but it has it's moments.

I would bet a lot of money that it isnt Norman in the goblin suit. I would maximal say, that it is Normans body, if you know what I am thinking about...

...Shit. I know exactly what you're talking about. -_-
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME.

Also, what ever happened to Static Shock after his series got cancelled? Did he join a team or something?
He's my favorite DC character, but he's never in anything.

John laymen on leaving batman. He wrote all the issues he was supposed to and left to focus on chew

I respect Layman for that.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Layman still the best former editor turned writer in the biz.

No drama? Good experiences with editorial? What is this madness?

I started the Accursed arc in Thor God of Thunder. My god this book is pretty.

So yep. Parker is back.

This is great to hear, and much different to bleeding cool reporting that he3 would have zero involvement in the series altogether. I'm glad it's amicable and he's gonna be focusing on Chew.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

June is when more of the new books are supposed to drop. Makes sense so the ending of Forever Evil doesnt get spoiled soon. Johns better be elevating somebody, please no Lex or Lex led JL.

How are Marvel Premiere HCs in terms of quality?

I have little interest in origin stories 2.5 years into the new 52, maybe it will be for newer characters that are introduced like Stephanie brown and new female nightwing thing?

49ers vs Panthers, i'll be surprised if Cammmmmmmmmmmm and company win.

FF #13 - the appeal of the series ran out for me after issue 9, mainly when the doom plot came into play. It's okay though.

Oh I don't know. Some of the previous Secret Origins were pretty good even if you already knew the origin. They tend to add something new and interesting to it; The Legion one, for example, worked in Time Trapper so that he is basically the reason the Legion even come together, despite the entire plan being to make it so they don't. That was pretty amazing.

Also, Niners gonna wreck Scam&CO.

Holyness! Completely agree.

 

[GrandHarrier]

I don't get it. It's kind of a plain/boring cover. The Cityscape art style completely clashes with the Spiderman art stye. It's almost like it's a stock photo or two different people drew it. And then the "sky" is ???

I miss the webbed armpits, though.

Let's just hire this guy to do all the art instead of Ramos.

It's a simple cover, but I dig it.

Spider-Atlas, very cool.

 

[tm24]

I can tell you that it's totally out of print at the moment! but also it's apparently heavily inspired by Ostrander/McDonnell's Suicide Squad and i really want it

Well now you have MY attention

So in on Fiffe. Gonna hound my store for this

I only read Snyder's book, which is still doing Zero Year, and I was fine. It's mostly tribute stories apart from Layman's intro chapter to Gothtopia.

FUCK.
Now I have to buy it.

Good. Leave that Batman loser behind and focus on that real.

Excellent.

That's a killer Supes statue by the way.

Bit of an odd question but what are the chances of Joker returning to the way he used to look? I like his new 52 look but am just curious. Also fix Harleys clothes thanks dc.

Depends if Snyder does another Joker story. I think, after Zero Year, we'll get a showdown with the Court of Owls and maybe some more classic villains.

Also fix Harleys clothes thanks dc.

 

[Messi]

I hate Harleys new 52 costume with a passion.

 

[ReiGun]

Following Francavilla on twitter means being treated to all kinds of cool pictures. Though, I do have to wonder when does the man sleep. He always, always seems to be drawing something.

Do you think that's drawn on one of those drawing tablets?

And Korupt, that statue is sick. You have some hot pieces in your budding collection.

When statues and action figures are discussed, it usually seems to be DC properties. Are they just more regular with the releases? Or are their pieces much better than that of Marvel, kind of like how their animation is better (I'm told)?

Gonna need some images here.

Kind of worried about seeing Colin Lorimer at the con today. Yesterday I read his collection, UXB, which I bought from him at the last con a few months ago.He told me he poured his whole heart and soul into that book- wrote, drew, coloured, lettered it, etc. And I just didn't really like it. It wasn't bad and it does contain some cool ideas. But I found it dreary, and couldn't buy the twist near the end. I'll just try to be kind without lying.

Spoiler

I hate lying.

It's not a big deal or anything but it's a good reminder that this is people's life work we are casually judging and dismissing daily.

DC have DC Direct, so much of their collectibles are done in-house, as such. Marvel's main figures are all done by Hasbro. They brought back Marvel Legends (<3) after fiddling about with 80s G.I. Joe-style figures for a few years. I think Dark Horse do their statues.

I can't speak for statues, but DC's New 52 figures have been great. Very pricey in this part of the world, so I only have a few. I wish the Injustice figures were the same scale.
