Finished Nova 1-5: I expected worse from Loeb, but it is a fun, basic story.

Started Avengers Arena, 1-4: Still am not a fan of the Hunger Games premise, but it is as good as people were making it out to be earlier when i was grumbling.

I don't know how I feel about The Midas Flesh yet. The story hasn't really sone anything yet. The paper was great though.





I want to thank everyone that joined me on the adventures with Vibe. I never thought it would happen and even though it was short, the memories were big. Thank you comics superstar Geoff Johns.

First tragedy, then farce.
Man, my pull list has been tiny the last few weeks. Like 2-3 comics max. Kind of sucks that I'm blasting through all of my pulls in like 20 minutes.

Because of Christmas/New Years, or because your pull list is small in general? You can fix one of those easy. ;)

The issue of "finishing" a weekly reading is another facet I find interesting. I will often must read about half of my pulls and then sprinkle the rest throughout the rest of the week. In the rare situation that I finish my backlog I have some Archives (mostly Legion) that I catch up on.

Happy birthday brah. Sucks that you have to be away from home for it. But a mighty fine list is a good substitute for hearth and family.

Personally decided to cut Batman B&W. I've enjoyed it but had to purge some of my list somehow.

Going to be curious to see how Black Widow reviews. I almost, almost ignored my no-Marvel policy to check it out. They are starting to tempt me with a few non-bullshit looking titles. So I may cherry pick one or two.

Yeah, figure I'll try it out. Let's see how it stacks up to the likes of Lazarus and Velvet which I both enjoy.

I want to see you guys' full pull lists at some point, as in every book you guys follow. I can't be hassled going through the last 4/5 weeks and piecing them together for each person, and it still wouldn't account for what you read by trade. It would be handy to see what folks have most in common with my reading habits though. Whether you read monthly, or by trade, everyone should put up what you're reading and what you think you'll be adding from the stuff coming this year. In its own thread if need be.

And happy birthday KD, still jealous of your epic statue :)

Also kind of interested in a few marvel books. I could see myself with Hawkeye, Punisher, BW and Kot's Secret Avengers by year end in a little marvel reading list.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.

I read L&K Omega 1-5 last night which leaves Alpha 1-2 left and this is easily my favorite indie book ever. I would love to see a movie adaption.

Avengers Arena....through issue 6...is really good. Surprise of the whateveryear. Hopeless does a great job in making the characters rise above just the premise. It's a well-written book that inserts character backstory in concentrated bursts each issue.

I can't stand the villain guy though
Arcade. I hateeeee when villains get into magical super powered untouchable mode

Read through the first volume of Superior Spider-Man. Really digging it so far.

I can do without so much Ghost Peter Parker, as it's pretty great seeing how Doc Ock handles being Spider-Man with a bit of an iron fist.

Picking up the next two volumes soon. Can't wait to see how he'll handle the Green Goblin.

My list:

Fatale
Black Science (I'll keep reading it despite my thoughts)
Saga
Invincible

Marvel:

Captain America
Thor God of Thunder
Hawkeye
Daredevil
Uncanny Avengers

Pretty small list compared to some of you guys.

Wow, I have to manage my money carefully. It's why I don't actually pull any DC since I don't see much value in any of their titles.

Plus I've got videogames and life stuff to worry about.

Then why is it usually one of the more favoured Batman books?
Click to expand...

Accessible evergreen story + Jim Lee artwork + does all the BIG BATMAN high concept stuff that's new people don't mind(Batman might kill the Joker! Batman vs Superman! Batman fuckin' Catwoman! Batman vs Ra's Al Ghul sword fight in the desert! Big mystery badguy who reads poetry/biblical verses!). Its kinda like a kid's version of the ULTIMATE BATMAN STORY, but the mystery is terrible, Loeb's prose isn't much good, and it mostly lives off reheating moments and ideas from other, better stories.

Black Beetle
Black Beetle Necrologue
Black Science
Bravest Warriors
Bravest Warriors Annual
Daredevil
Daredevil (2014)
Dead Boy Detectives

Transformers More Than Meets Eye
Transformers Regeneration One
Transformers Robots In Disguise
Umbral
Undertow
Wolverine and X-Men
X-Force (All New Marvel Now)
X-Men Legacy (Marvel Now)
Young Avengers (Marvel Now)

Just the single issue stuff though and some of it is redundant stuff like Annuals or completed mini-series which need cleaning up a bit. Also a lot of pre-orders there, some of those will probably be dropped after the 1st or 2nd issues going by my past record. A few are soon to finish as well like X-Men Legacy, YA, WatXM. That's just the main series from the site I use to get comics. There's additional stuff that I might order every now and then off of ebay just to try them out (e.g. Suicide Risk, Larfleeze, Movement, Rocket Girl) but these normally get dropped. Occasionally some of those do make it to the main pull list though, like X-Men Legacy, Hinterkind and most recently Manifest Destiny.

Trades-wise I follow things like Atomic Robo, Hellboy, X-Factor, Chew and Wasteland to name a few.

Watching Spider-Man 3.

If you don't love the dancing Peter scene, we officially do not have the same sense of humor or taste.
