Before I started the Doom Patrol Omnibus, I wanted to knock out a book out of my Batman collection. I went with Dark Victory by Loeb and Sale. I only read the first 2 chapters and I am really enjoying it. Like The Long Halloween, Loeb really captures that gritty, noir, detective tale.
What is GAFs opinion on Tim Sale? Weird faces, sloppy lines, distorted proportions, yet it works for me. His Batman is mostly in the dark which I love. I love Batmans silhouette and Sale does it a lot. His action scenes are fun and believable.
The Long Halloween was my first ever Batman book 2 years ago and it's fun seeing the same team do a book 2 years later and remembering how I got here.

i hate how he draws wolverine
and iceman but mostly the 'rine
But it's a perfect comic art style. And he's consistent as fuck.
Tim Sale Batman has fucking huge pecs.

I like him a lot, i've only read his Batman stuff but it's gritty noir as hell
I should give those LH/DV rereads, haven't read em in years but i loved them back in 2011. They don't hold up well in my head though (especially DV since it's basically LH again)

I would never use these words to describe Tim Sale art. Sale is high on the list of greatest Batman artist.
I know

Bachalo Iceman is like the one version of that character I like. Finally, he looks like a man made out of ice, and not a second-rate Silver Surfer

they tried so hard to make Wolverine relevant as as solo artist. Went down the 90s checklist. Took his powers away, then gave him armor, then gave him a gun...then they just killed that nigga and made a bunch of minis and weeklies and shit in his name.

Is Frank Miller drawing the new Iron Fist comic? Just saw some preview pages. It looks like Frank Miller's work, lol.
I know it's some dude who also writes it. The style looks a lot like Miller's

I LOVE Tim Sale's art. His depiction of Joker is absolutely iconic with the fuckhuge grin he has and even though I haven't flipped through the book in years, I can visualize one scene with Poison Ivy that looked incredible. The Long Halloween and Dark Victory are great looking books. Haunted Knight is worth a read too for his art.
The Long Halloween was my first Batman comic too. My brother used to be into comics when he was younger and had some Batman trades and I remember the spine and cover for it immediately caught my eye and I eventually got my own copy so I could read it.

Some brah named Ario Anandito is drawing issue 12. I'm not even sure that is a real person. Seriously, does this person exist.

Imma tellin ya, Marvel got a whole Rolodex of these Spanish-sounding jobbers they just drop on any book at a moment's notice. Cheap labor, replaceable cogs in the machine.
The name sound like Indonesian, maybe he as real as Adrian Shaf.
They fucked before she went crazy.
decided not to finish the 2012 Captain Marvel run, it started getting tied in with events (first enemy within in avengers and then 2 issues tied with infinity) and I just cant be arsed atm to start looking for those event issues, ths specific avengers issue i would need etc.
I just had 5 issues left anyway, it ended at 17, and I was liking it, but not that much tbh, the new series seems much better. When I want to read an event Ill just read the event I think, which I believe MU provides every comic of the event including tie ins
So instead, I added All New Doop (which you guys havent mentioned so its probably shit but oh well)

Damn, how fast do you read
fast but now Im starting to feel bad lol. Am i the only one that reads an issue in about 5-10 minutes? >_>
Depends, some writer fill dialogue like crazy in one page.

Sienkiewicz is still my GOAT X artist.
Nah I'm the same. Usually closer to 10 minutes with how wordy my comics have been lately (SiP grrr). I was more surprised at how hard you were binging most of these series. If you read too many at once too quickly, a lot can begin to blur together and that doesn't really help a whole lot in the long run. You may remember them all crystal clearly now but in a few months you might struggle to remember simple plot points of the story. I DON EVEN KNOW DOE FOOD FA THOUGHT YO jus sayin

It is never too late to show your support for Bachalo!
He is one of the very few artists that if he were doing the interiors, I'd most likely buy without hesitation.
Tim Sale is one of my favorites. I really need to pick up his art book sometime soon.

As a counterpoint to your theory, it usually takes me like 20 minutes to read an issue and I remember so little that I could do a re-read in a few months and it'd be totally fresh to me. Benefits of horrible memory.
Yet they couldn't depict the Latinos in Ghost Rider to save their lives, esé.
I assume if its not talked about here its shit
I read the first issue, it was cute. What caught my eye was Cyclops standing with Magneto, Magik, Emma, rogue and some others... now THATS the x-men I want to read
Also I love that Cyke red and black costume, with the X across the eyesAlso finished All New X-Factor 5-9 (all there is on MU for now), its actually really growing on me, will keep reading. Im really liking the dynamic, the corporate angle, the quicksilver spying angle, I love Danger, im super ok with doug and warlock joining (talk about a blast from the past, for me anyway), the art is great, and Gambit has cats and sleeps with his boss's wife so, you know, fun times
edit: Just noticed that at the end of x-Factor MU is recomending Uncanny X-Men #1 with the Cyke team I was mentioning earlier in the post. Might have to check that out
Also, on the speed reading, not that I dont read fast, but if Im leaving the impression that im going through these series fast, thats not exactly the case. Most of the stuff Ive been talking about ive put on hold.
Like Uncanny X-Force I havent read since 7, New X-Men I put on hold on 129 or whatever it was (so I read 15), etc. Im just jumping from title to title on your recomendations lol
What I did try to read all was the newer stuff (Ghost Rider, Captain Marvel, Silver Surfer, She Hulk) because A) theres only a few issues out anyway and B) Im caught up so when a new issue pops up on MU I can read it. The back stuff I can read whenever ;D
But stil...yeah im a fast reader. 20 minutes for 1 issue sounds insane to me
edit: Oh and I read a few Daredevil issues of the Mark Waid run (4 I believe), surprise suprise, another recomendation I love. You guys are like 7 for 7 or something. Quick rundown of my favorite sutff so far:
1 - Hawkeye 1-18 (easily)
2 - New X-Men 114-129 (grant morrison run, nowhere near done yet)
3 - Ms. Marvel 1-5 (Kamala Khan version)
2 - She Hulk (2014) 1-5
3 - Nextwave 1-12 Full Run
4 - Silver Surfer (2014) 1-3
5 - Uncanny X-Force 1-7 (Im liking it but it hasnt really blown me away yet, maybe it was overhyped in my head)
5 - All New X-Factor 1-9 (biggest surprise)
6 - All New Ghost Rider 1-4
7 - Captain Marvel (2014) 1-4 (surprised this is so low but...well it is)
All New Doop I only read the first issue yet, not enough to form an opinion on. Ms. Marvel, She Hulk, Silver Surfer, Nextwave are all very close, they might aswell all be number 3 in that list

It depends. Something like Alias/FF Hickman, it takes me about 5-10 mins. Something like Doom Patrol or Sandman/SMT, it takes a lot longer.
i'm glad Axis and Original Sin were lowish, i thought i was going to have to swear at stuff.
