Is it good as a zombie book, or because it does weird things to the Archie characters.

Did anybody read Empire of the Dead? Wondering if I should go back and pick it up.
Dead Body Road was meh, but it's still a pretty book. <3 Matteo Scalera

So I just read WatXM 40. Finallllllllly a writer manages to write a Scott/Logan scene well and explain both sides without having the other seem like an idiot.
Too bad most books will act like it never happened.

I have liked it quite a bit.
Speaking of Francavilla, did Dark Horse cancel Black Beetle Necrologue? I see it has been removed from their site and the first issue wasn't shipped on the 15th to my local comic shop.
Just checked his twitter. Seems a few people have (understandably) asked about it. His response: "@Andrew_McIntyre as soon as we have a definite date, we will let everyone know

Deadly Class has to be the most universally praised comic I've seen released since I've been into comics.
Bought nearly 15 comics today, perhaps more, and read half tonight. Deadly Class, Black Widow 2, Hawkeye, and All-New Invaders were pleasant reads. Avengers world and x force 2 were boring; ultimate xmen was terrible. Tomorrow I'll be reading Origin II, latest Xmen, latest batman and batman 66, Umbral (probably dropping this), starting The Wake, Harley Quinn 2, and xmen knights. I have high hopes for The wake, especially for my gf since she's into horror.

He's too busy doing a billion covers and a poster every time he watches an episode of television he likes.
Finished transmetropolitan volume 3. This series sure knows how to make me laugh one page and go wtf on the other.
Working through east of west volume 1. My biggest fear with this series is ill read it for probably three volumes and it still won't develop into anything. It's too early, but its a possibility. I like it so far.

So when marvel does multiple omnibuses to make up a writer's run, how long a gap is there normally between volumes? That's me caught up on Hickman's Secret Warriors, and his avengers/new avengers/S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff, got my eye on that Fantastic Four omnibus. I'd rather get it when the second omnibus is maybe a month from dropping though. Are we talking years?

I hpe it doesn't disappoint, I don't want to disappoint anyone anymore....
That book looks really schway? Is that from Oni? If so it either will start as an ongojng, release the first trade and never be heard from again or wait years between releases so they can gather the funds to print it.

So I'm just getting caught up on the recent Alan Moore interview, where he launches a major attack on Grant Morrison.
Kind of sad that they have such a major feud. Moore is a prickly old bastard, isn't he. As much as I love his work, and agree he's probably a greater talent than Morrison, there's no doubt that Morrison is a major talent too, and whatever the degree of personal animosity Moore has towards Morrison, he's not going to convince me otherwise.
It's interesting that these two people just kind of can't share the same space. But the fued doesn't diminish either one's talents in my eyes.

Here's a link if anyone is interested: http://slovobooks.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/last-alan-moore-interview/
I recommend this also from Grant's perspective, although it's from a few months previous :

Yeah, I didn't link to it because I saw it being discussed earlier in the thread so I just wanted to add my two cents.
There were some real zingers in there from Moore. As we all know, he has quite a way with words. Poor Morrison.
Yup, I read that. Definitely both sides to the story. Two great artists just don't get along, I guess.
Alan Moore's still my second favourite writer (after Ennis) but it does seem that some of the grudges he holds against people like Morrison, Gibbons, Lloyd and some of his other collaborators could be solved over a face to face meeting. But if he doesn't want to associate with them fair enough.

If I were asked who my favourite comic writers were I'd say Alan Moore and Grant Morrison immediately, and then I'd start thinking about who else. I think this is what annoys Moore most, that someone who he feels is an imitator, or a "Scottish tribute band" (ouch) is probably considered by most as his closest contemporary.

Moore really reminds me of my father-in-law who is so principled he would probably cut off his own hand rather than compromise his stance. One legendary story my wife told me was that back in the day he wrote a book about lesbian serial killers that was apparently poorly received by his editors, so he burned all the manuscripts and will never speak of it again.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I feel really sad the WatXM i know and love is ending, especially when its been the only X-book to really get it in a long time. Logan talking like a real person and not a plot device angry idiot. There's Forever, sure, but taking the focus away from the school seems kinda sad. Hopefully the new WatXM will be its own good thing in its own right to make up for the never-ending Bendis shitfest on the other side.
Avengers 25 being some EVIL AVENGERS FROM ANOTHER TIME roundabout faff is the drop in quality (I am going to cry about Larroca's descent from plucky art joy to... what the eff for eternity) I needed to jump all the hell out. New Avengers only to see how that all wraps up.
Hawkeye and its delays and meandering are doing it no favours. Its really lost a crapton of momentum. Superior Foes punched its stomach and stole its lunch money, totes.

Any specific runs?
I see Geoff Johns has Flash: Blood Will Run, Rebirth, Blitz, Crossfire, Dastardly Death of the Rogues, Ignition, and so on. Then I see an Omnibus that looks good but I don't know if I'll like Flash enough to justify dropping $70 for it.
Mark Waid has Return of Barry Allen, Born to Run, Terminal Velocity, and so on.
I read this instead of working and regret nothing. God I love Grant Morrison.

While I'm a fan of both Morrison and Moore, Gerard Way's response to Moore's latest tirade seems tremendously apt.
If only Gerard had put as much effort into Killjoys.
I finished reading the Good, The Bad and The Ugly arc of Deadpool. That was fantastic. Its nice to see what they were able to do when they stopped trying to make everything Deadpool says a joke. I felt legitimately bad for wade by the end. These guys are doing a great job with this book now.
