Yeah, it's real good, but the Miami Vice one for #4 is my fave:
Oh my god. That is such an awesome cover.
Eh, is this confirmed?

We don't know anything about the next Daredevil run.

Do we even know if there will be any run?
With the Netflix series coming out soon, it's bound to happen. But still.

I'd suggest locking Mark Waid into a room where he has to keep writing Daredevil. Then again I like the guy and it would be kind of mean.
I think we only know for sure that Waids Run is ending soon.

See now, that art doesn't look like the abominations that were posted from issue #1 and actually interests me.
Its still same artist tho?

Yeah but that page Zombine shared doesn't have the like, impressionistic, nightmare vision caricatures that the first preview images had. I'm a huge fan of Greek Mythology so this book should be up my alley.

Given his hints, Soule's probably writing.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking, too. Nothing's been announced or leaked yet, though.

Charles Soule is the comic book equivalent to prawn crackers. Dry, unfulfilling and almost flavourless but we eat them anyway.

Nathan Edmondson comics tho
also, I was wondering when that new Silver Surfer was coming out, think it got delayed cuz of Allred's work on Miracleman. But it arrives next week!

Soule does some good work. He managed to make Red Lanterns a really interesting and fun take on the concept.

Yeah I heard Red Lanterns improved quite a bit once he took over.
The only book of his that I've read is She-Hulk and I didn't really care for it. I prefer Slott's run.

Maybe I should start reading Silver Surfer.
I really like that... dialogue.

Why does he wear the mask!?
It's decent. Reminds me of Doctor Who.
Silver Surfer is wonderful.
Batman #37: This might make a fantastic horror movie, Capullo's artwork was great and creepy. The story though was mostly dull, as usual. It's a megavirus! Test all the cures....we did! Batman, Batman! So that first few pages were awful but then it turned around with all the amazing Capullo art. I also forgot who
Random 7/10 arts.
Duke was, so when that part came up with Joe Chill, my reaction was " oh no, not Duke!"

Some more redrawn pages, including ones Burnham did himself
This was the very first page of Batman Inc Vol.2, which was suppose to foreshadow the last issue, in a snake eating its own tail Ouroborous kind of thing. Course this was drawn like a year out and things change, as this is after Bruce's big encounter with Talia, EVIL DAMIAN BATMAN, and everybody else so he's all beat to hell in the last issue, #13. The first page of #1 has been corrected with the benefit of hindsight. They even have the right color choice.
Burnham/Fairbairn's just has so much more energy. The Henchmen are really rushing in the room, and Batman explodes into the room on some spingboard shit. Third panel is just a really fun angle.
Jason Todd's whiny, angry pose better matches the dialog on this scene, and I love that arching eyebrow he draws on him as the Hood emerges from the shadows, the traitorous spy still recognizable with his face mask.
Our heroes bursting through the sunroof is a more distinctive Batman element, and just a bit more believable than teenage Squire-now-Knight explding through a concrete roof. And of course Burnham's actions always have more energy, with lots of movement lines instead of static poses.

What happened to your dollar ranking? How much would you say the issue is worth?
How fitting is it that the slipcover for Inc is Burnham's Batman version of the ouroborous? Instead of the snake eating its own tale, it's an endless cycle of Batman continuing forever. A great nod to Morrison's ultimate theme of Batman forever existing. Really if anything should have been called Batman Eternal, it really should have been Morrison's run.

Ant-Man was a decent start. We'll see if it can pull off the Hawkeye-isms. Also feels a bit like She-Hulk #1.
I have zero attachment to Scott Lang though, so it'll really be a test to see if he can be characterized as anything other than the loser #1 makes him out to be.

Finished reading Ody-C #1. I always love takes on The Odyssey, but this fell a bit flat. The art and paneling was great and the setting was interesting as well. But the writing didn't seem to find a good balance between using the disinterested narrator point of view and the too-much-exposition trap a lot of Sci-Fi books fall into.
Maybe it was intentional, but some of the sentences were actually difficult to parse. This one, for example.
"Poseidon is Jealous. Odyssia's sacrifice was to her bride Amphitrite and not to she herself".
Assuming prior knowledge of the source material should not be an excuse to write difficult to parse sentences.

Ugh I'm not really a big fan of giant omnibuses anymore for some reason.
12 issues in one book? that I CAN handle but 600 page books?
http://www.instocktrades.com/TP/DC/ABSOLUTE-BATMAN-INCORPORATED-HC/MAY140382
Split it into 2-3 books and I'm in.

I love the girl in the new Silver Surfer book. it was so easy for it to just be a fish out of water story, but its the opposite, its like she was out of water on earth. I love how she is totally nonchalant to all the aleins and shit and just takes charge (like when she tells Surfer that SHE is here to rescue him and he's like "wait...wtf?")
lovely book, at least the 3 issues on MU

Dropped it after 5 issues. All style and no substance. Art was unique but nothing else kept me coming back.

Picked up The Invisibles omnibus from the library. Been a few years since I read it and I didn't enjoy it much at that time. Going to give it another shot, now that I've read Doom Patrol.

The art hurts my eyes. I can't tell for the life of me what's going on in the fight scenes.
The 'gangs' etc are written like a fourteen year olds idea of a gang war too
It's like reverse IGN.
