Yeah, Jim Hammond was never a mutant. I think he's a robut.
TBD. They said the issues take time to complete.

That fantastic four trailer was a lot better than I expected given all the negative rumors, but sometimes, rumors are just rumors. I think Fox has done a much better job of not messing with some of their properties since First Class. Rothman is no longer with Fox right? That should be enough reason to have some hope
Avengers #40 and New Avengers 28ish: I'm not impressed by Hickman's run anymore, it's gone on too long and for having a nine month countdown until time runs out, there's no sense of urgency when there are still 18 or more issues to go through. Random 4/10 for a persistent feel of indifference.
Nah, Thor would win this.

Greatness can't be rushed.
ComicGaf, do we like this new X-Force series?
I really liked the first 2 issues...like, a lot

Check out Deadly Class volume 1!
Hickman's Avengers has been going on for 68 issues plus Infinity, so about 75 total. When i reflect on his run, i'm basically emotionless towards it. It was not great, it's not terrible, it is consistent and continues to be put out. It's written for the digital format, there are few if any memorable panels or pages. I will never recommend it to people looking to get into comics and it will never be on a top list of favorite runs.
I have it digitally from the print codes, maybe i'll go back and start at the beginning to give it another chance, but i'm not hopeful.

When does IST usually update?
A person reads one Wonderland trade when it was free and it follows you around forever. I didn't like it though.

no, this is a pure community
Yeah, I've definitely felt my hype for this title deflate thanks to the slow release schedule. I understand these things take time, but I wish they would have waited to release issues until they could do at least a bi-monthly (once every 2 months) schedule for the first arc. I don't mind waiting 6 months between arcs if it means I'm getting the issues on a schedule.
Yeah I read Wonderland and a few other. Eh, I like what I like. No shame here.
Freaking ice. Just had my first fall in a years and I hit pretty hard. I don't think I did anything serious but my knee and wrist certainly sting. Ouch.
Also, I started part 7 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and let me just say I just realized that they pretty much
(big old Jojo's spoilers via comic terms). Crazy stuff!

Between now and 5:30 EST.
But there may be delays due to the Snowmageddon that never happened. UPS wasn't delivering today in my area. So they might not update at all today. If not, bet on tomorrow.
You're welcome. I've started seeing ads with Tsundere references. It amuses me to no end.
X-Men popularity isn't as strong as it was in the 80s and 90s. Comic book wise.Messi with da truth. fuck all of you X-Men shamers, you cant stop me!

Yo, it's being written by Simon Spurrier, the writer behind KD-Z'S FAVOURITE COMIC OF ALL TIME*, Six Gun Gorilla. So of course it's good.
*does not mean much as I've not read a lot of comics
*also no, I haven't read X-Force itself
*and neither did I read X-Men Legacy, which I probably should read
*also it seems like you have a Legion-do shaped hole in your X-reading, Rhaknar!
yup Legacy is the only modern X book I didnt read... I just dont see the appeal in a Legion book
I dont like you anymore Psych
I almost want them to turn all mutants into inhumans just for the absolute SHITSTORM that it would create

Been reading through the Criminal deluxe hardcovers lately and just finished the "Bad Night" arc in the second hardcover. Such a great story with tons of twists and turns. Overall this is a fantastic series and I can't wait to see where the final two arcs go.

It was in August. Here's the link to all the Doom Patrol posts in that thread.
TyrantRave and whatsinaname were both reading it that month as well!
So glad that you're reading it. And also very glad that you're enjoying it so far. Definitely keep posting your thoughts. I don't have a good enough memory to respond to your posts in a very substantive way, but I still enjoy hearing what you think about the wild ride that is Morrison's Doom Patrol!
Usually now. I hope nothing good releases this week. I just made an order a few days ago...
I just recently read the Criminal hardcovers as well. Really good stuff. That last story is mind-blowingly good, so prepare yourself!
Digital comic readers, can I get a suggestion on a good iPad app to read DRM free comics on? I picked up the Humble Image Bundle a week ago and can't find any app that seems to be able to handle the basics of reading a comic book. All I need is something that allows me to view a whole page vertical and both pages side by side when horizontal (for double page spreads). The most frustrating thing is that iBooks does this for regular books, but for some reason treats graphic novels differently.
Any suggestions? At this point I'm willing to pay a few bucks. Dropbox syncing would be nice too.

Those are the ones I'm getting, they're hilarious.
Guys, my wallet's not ready for tomorrow. It's a big week.
Oh, also, might as well throw this out there:
So my Absolute Batman & Robin arrived with damaged pages from IST (no exterior damage; definitely a manufacturing error and not IST's fault), and I sent them an email explaining the situation and I got this response:
"We apologize for the defective item. Please send it back to us along with a copy of this e-mail by USPS Media Mail to...
When it arrives back, we will reimburse you for the Media Mail cost and pull a replacement.
We apologize for the inconvenience."
IST is just the best all around. No hassle at all.

Dude, there was a time a few years back where I accidentally ordered 2 copies of something in my cart, and I get an email two minutes later asking if that was correct.
It was Ultimatum, so they probably couldn't believe anyone would want ONE copy, much less two.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

You'll love the main X-Factor book, I think it's best in a binge read, and it's tough to put down, so be prepared for that!
Steel Ball Run is one of the best parts of Jojo's. It is also really damn long.

Part 7 of JoJo is just too damn long for me, like the Star Trek movies, the even numbered parts are the ones that are enjoyable, specifically 2 and 4.
There's some kind of weird moral there about fat people + fast/junk food = cancer connection there that I have a hard time getting into when Matt Murdock has probably breathed in more asbestos than a 1950s construction worker.
