I did enjoy the surprise
I think we can agree that Grete is absolute badass. That
scuffle she had on the pass where she killed those dudes
Edit:
I have been digging deep into Image for the first time thanks to the humble bundle and I am rather blown away by just about everything I have been reading. Saga, Sex Criminals, Rat Queens, Alex + Ada, Wicked + Divine, etc.
I mean how are they easily running circles around Marvel and DC with quality like this? I mean it is not even comparable, they are just on another level it seems. Add in the fact how pro-consumer they are (everything being DRM free and available in CBZ/CBR is something I did not realize was even an option after focusing mostly on DC/Marvel).
I am mostly mad at myself for waiting this long to give them a go. I honestly don't know if I ever want to go back to DC and Marvel outside of the handful of creator-owned work they publish and handful of titles that really are unique like Hawkeye. Stuff like Convergence, Secret Wars, etc seem so stuck in the past by comparison.

There we go.
Joy is dead.

The scenes with the
Mother and Daughter.
I've been surprised by the number of badass ladies that they've showcased so far.

Yeah, Image is really killing it. I got into them last year and I'm glad I did. Sex Criminals and Deadly Class are too good.

The

tricks people... Lying about the pin hole in the travel documents...
I don't think that
any sort of death scene for Wolfram will feel satisfying. He would have to be eaten by crows while alive then set on fire.

Love Damian continuing the Bat-family tradition of spitting in enemies' faces.

My favorite detail is Evil Damian goes for the ol' Bane Knightfall favorite breaking backs over his knee, but it doesn't work because Damian's got that metal spine, remember?
There was originally going to be a line of dialog referencing that, Damian was going to say "reinforced spine, stupid!" They axed it because they thought it would have interrupted the flow of the fight and messed with Burnham's brilliant paneling.

If I remember correctly, that was Burnham's suggestion. Cooler(balder) heads prevailed.
I don't think I've ever been as legit shook from a comic book fight sequence as this one.
The original run of Waid's Daredevil is full of moments like these. It's unfortunate that act two has been burried under the weight of the new price point (IMO).
I know Bii still digs it, but it's definitely lost its thunder and I'm glad it's ending.

yea Act 2 isn't bad but it feels like an epilogue or just coasting to a finish line. Not a sense of renewed energy of a new location or relaunch
That was Rocket #7 whose cover started to curl as soon as i took it out of the bag/board dcbs shipped it in. It's not the first Marvel comic to do that either, it's a common thing. Marvel has the only paper stock where i accidentally nicked a page just by turning it.
I'm hoping that NY/CA get separate collections, because my interest is only in the first half of the story.

Marvel prints their comics on that Great Value paper
The only $3.99+ book that I can think of that at the very least has a better cover is Death of Wolverine.
They downgraded paper quality too, i remember when Walking Dead was printed on thick stock and now it's ....paper....thin. It's a book by book thing though, i think. With Marvel it's the whole line.
I'm trying to remember what happened in AXIS #8 as i'm about to read issue #9 and i can't think of it outside of inverssssssssssssssion and sirens.
Daredevil with Waid and Samnee is top-tier. Such a consistently great book. And that sequence is amazing, "try the red one". Chills!I don't think I've ever been as legit shook from a comic book fight sequence as this one.

People read on paper? How retro
Lol it's a dude wearing a Gi, and yes pretty much.
i think i refuse to go digital on books untiil there is a pre-order discount. I can't spend $2.99 on batman and robin or something when i can get it for $1.79 from dcbs.

I remember reading somewhere that Image lets creators decide what stock paper they want to use
I'm pretty sure the type of paper stock used in Image books is decided by the creators. I seem to recall reading that somewhere recently.
I don't think I've ever been as legit shook from a comic book fight sequence as this one.
One of my favorite changes of my Comictaste in 2014 is that I now really like Artists who draw much more colorful and brighter. People like Marcos Martin, Samnee or the dude who works with Dan Slott on Silver Sufer.
I still love guys like Epting or Mike Deodato Jr. with their much more realistic style, but I like that I opened up my taste regarding different approaches

Alright well, grabbed the first hickman FF omni then to give it a shot before it vanishes. Comics are becoming a dangerous pastime.
Mine should arrive tomorrow, too!
Got halfway through the second Hickman FF Omnibus last night. That was definitely some good stuff, really enjoyed it. I will say
. But yeah, very nice, can't wait to read the rest. Only complaint is that I didn't really like the artist who was
.
it's almost a bit of a shame that they brought Johnny back so soon though. Doesn't really feel like Peter got a chance to fit into the team. But I was totally going "oh, that is so one of those types of deaths that's going to be easily written off" when I saw it, and I suppose better here and well written than me having to look up where it got undone in some later run. Also kind of hilarious in retrospect that I remember that death getting thrown around as big news and stuff
drawing the parts with the kids during that big climax. His Val in particular looked super off to me
I'd say drop it then. He ain't coming back to draw it.
Yeah i read that too somewhere....maybe it was all a dream.
But anyways, I now blame Kirkman for walking dead's reduced paper quality. Man hit the big time and first to go is paper quality.
Rocket Racoon seems like a great book to read on MU. It's still KINDA fun. Just removed Rocket #9 from my dcbs order. Feels bad :/
The writer deserves a medal. Most complex plot ever.

Thoughts on buying the Absolute Sandman collection (V1-5) as a wedding gift for someone who loved the series when introduced to it 5 years ago? Worth it at 325$?

Slow paced. Doesn't seem to have any central themes. Conflicts leave much to be desired. Random 6/10 because the art is pretty realistic.

Lol Simonson Thor omni is a legit weapon
But it's already out in OHCs! Multiple OHCs > Omnibus
This makes me so sad.
I think Kipp may be correct here. But what is his endgame? Can we trust someone like Kipp like we trust JC? Freeza? Zombine?
