COMICS! |OT| January 2015. So many variants you'd swear it's 1995 instead.

That I doubt, but let's be real: there's no way Gwen wouldn't play into ASM if she was in the same city as Peter. You'd have to go to great lengths to write her out of the story if she was in Manhattan, especially considering her origin with her version of Peter. They'd spend half their time trying to protect each other from danger, for at least one arc. From there it'd be too natural to have them hang out, it's like with Johnny Storm. The only reason they didn't wind up as roommates is he got "killed". It'd be weird if they didn't wind up in each other's books now and again, the only difference is with Gwen there's a lot more history.
read Doop #2 and 3 and...yeah Im not liking it. I have no interest in Doop outside of quirky background character, much less a talking one. And the story seems to happen during some period where I havent read X other books (nobody seems surprised at a future older kitty pryde for example so /shrug) and that isnt helping
also read 2 issues of New Avengers, part of AvX, and the only reason I even mention it is because one of them might have been my favorite thing in all of AvX so far. Cap calls for a Illuminati meeting in hopes that he can reason with Namor, and the whole issue is Cap, Ironman, Xavier, Strange and Reed at a table trading accusations about the whole thing, and saying Namor wasnt coming. The whole thing just felt really natural, was like something out of a kevin smith movie (the dialogue that is). Reed saying "yo maybe this aint a bad thing" was funny because he wasnt even involved in the fight and it made it sound like the Avengers are being super petty lol

So much love for that page. Poor Spidey.
On the topic of Spidey, where would you guys suggest I started with Superior? I was thinking of reading from Big Time and up to 700 before starting it. I've read a few issues of ASM after it ended but wouldn't mind going back and reading it.

Give the original series a read, it has some hilarious spidey moments.
It's coming, believe me.
Edit: Sneak peek at a work-in-progress:
This is the best thing.
I aim to please, Messi. I may not contribute much, but at least I can make a dog look like a bunch of different comic book characters (and a Frankenstein). Once real pic January is over I'll be rotating a bunch, maybe I'll try making one of the character picked for the banner each month.
wetflame, your real life Pizza Dog avi is just THE.BEST.
Anyway, started reading the Transformers vs GI JOE trade and this shit is insaaaaaane. Massive Kirby boners courtesy of Tom Scioli
Also gotta share that variant cover by Stokoe, so great.
Never read anything Transformers or GI JOE before btw.

GI Joe had some really good comic series, the 80s series was written primarily by Larry Hama and is very well regarded. That's as much as I can say about GI Joe though =P
Yeah, already heard about that run. But with it being a licensed comics whose rights ahve gone to another publisher, is there any legal way of reading them? What about Rom Space Knight or Morrison's Zoïds?

Pretty sure the Hama run is collected-

Dragon Age talk. Vivienne's companion quest.
So she wasn't ignoring my repeated advances just for the fun of it? I almost shed a manly tear.

Yeah I'd sort of agree with this. A bit too much crash bang wallop at the end. I liked the majority of it.

Skottie Young made a post about his new Image book on tumblr and in the post he mentioned:
So I guess he won't be continuing art duties for interiors?

I think we all knew this when he didn't draw the last arc. Feels a bit like a bait and switch.

Ha! Actually, I started watching it Saturday night but switched if off because I was beginning to doze off. Last night I watched the rest.

I wasn't sure if they were just temporary replacements or not
He also mentioned he'll be on art/writing duties on another Marvel book, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up
Not yet but I will at some point today. I got watching Cosmos last night and I passed out. Today I have to shovel for a while, but after that I'll read.
Edit: I'm gonna read that, All New Cap 1-2, and Mortal Kombat X 1-2.
My GF and I were both really digging it at first. Space Australians, Flying Dragon Birds (She loved those), shit blowing up? That was awesome. But the moment it gave Clark that shitty origin, the tornado death, and Zod with his awful haircut I was checked out. We both dozed off and never bothered to watch the rest.
I thought he'd be coming back....if i don't really like the next issue in my dcbs order i'm dropping it.

So, on the recommendation of the thread, I tried out Deadly Class and.....it's just not for me.
I'm just really sick and tired of the "kid discovers he's the chosen one and is brought to a special school to develop his skills" trope.
It just seems really formulaic in that respect and none of the characters are sticking out enough for me to really get invested. Art's nice though.

Have you read beyond the first few issues? To me, it didn't really hit its stride until issue 6 or so. And as the story unfolds, it's less about the school than it is about Marcus.
