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

Yo, GrandHarrier, I read those 2 issues of Batman/Superman that you told me about and they were ace! Thanks for the suggestion and I'll be sticking around to see how it ends.

It seems like a step above, and very limited in terms of what they have done. Is it even as many as two things so far? I know there was the Wolverine one and an X-Men one planned but nothing else that I know of.

Yeah. It really was a surprise to me just how fun it was to see Superman completely out of his element and a perfect situation where the Batman/Superman team up is natural. But it was also the little things; like the scene where the guy at the hospital
dressed up as Superman realizes what has happened and leaves the room so the kids don't see it. A singular moment of heroism from a regular joe.

Seconded! I'm holding out on buying Snyder's stuff for myself until they at least get the OHC treatment. More likely they'll get the Absolute.

love this art, so awkwardly cute. this isnt the dude that does captain america tho right, this seems more bachalo / ramos-y
Looks like Lafuente.
Let's not pretend Wolverine didn't start it with his Jean Grey School.
At least Wolverine was honoring her. Scott was dancing and pissing on the grave of the guy he buried.
This lol
I just read the second arc of Batmanga. It's still absolutely brilliant reading. It's so silly and fun and quick. I love it.
Any Batman fan owes it to themselves to check it out. It's only $8.50 or something on IST.
Similar, but definitely not equivalent. The Adamantium line is more of a coffee table-style book. Hilariously oversized--Absolute editions are very big, but still easily readable, while Adamantium editions are just enormous and I'd imagine they would not be easy to read at all--and also just containing a random assortment of issues rather than a fully collected story.
Although the ideas seem similar on paper, Absolutes and Adamantiums exist for two very different purposes.

JC may be gone for now, but at least we got Bayonetta 2 as GAF's GOTY for last year.
And I saw that Adamantium edition for Wolverine or whatever it was and it was comically big. Not even the Official Omnibus Reading Position would work with that.

I don't. I just snark.
DC not having an equivalent to Marvel Unlimited is kinda weird.
Avengers is getting one this summer

Ooh, didn't know the vote counting was done.
Fake Edit: DA:I higher than DKCR:TF pains me a lot, but I guess more people liked DA:I. Can't comment too much on the others, haven't played too many from the Top 20.

Almost through vol 1 of iZombie. I like it, it's an unique cast of characters and Allreds art is fantastic.

Agreed! Allred's art is always fantastic!
Wow, I saw those terrible things you said pre-edit. I'm ashamed.
Not even one
Is there a good point to jump into Amazing Spider-Man? I don't really have the time to read all 700 issues on Marvel Unlimited but I feel I should probably read some Spidey. The new run looks kind of bad and it's in event mode right now so I'm not interested, plus I assume most of the good stories are in the run that went from the sixties all the way up to 2013. Any recommendations for issues that are a good place to dive in?
didnt it get rebooted after Superior?
Good place to dive in? Shit I don't know, I honest to god started with the Lee/Ditko stuff.
Yikes. That makes me look at a lot of kids' movies differently. Tarzan? Jungle Book? More like depravity book. Thanks for ruining my childhood sillymonkey
It did, but there's only a few issues on MU and the art looks kind of bad. Plus, it's all Spideverse now so I see no reason to start when I have minimal Spider-Man knowledge.
Read Ultimate Spider-Man by Bendis, start by the 1, its only about 130 Issue and worth every single one
its placed in a different universe, but its still great.Also, read Kravens Last Hunt. The best Spider-Man story ever.
That should be enough for thr start.
Well, it would just need about one weekend of your time according to your readingspeed.

Despite snot liking the art that much, I really recommended this book. It's pretty meta and introspective for an X-book and made me really like the character.
Brand New Day is the best jumping on point. Just read from #546 to current. Lots of good stories came from Brand New Day and it's rotating writers before Slott took over full time.
Currently working my way through Hickmans Fantastic Four after putting it off for so long. The Council of Reeds is just an amazing and horrifying idea all at the same time. Val is going to take some time to get used to.
Absolutely not.
