Thanks all for the congrats! I'm the chuffed Father of a baby boy, who we've called Carter Kingsley Luchador. Over the moon, already read him his first comic, it was Avengers #52 where Black Panther was framed for the death of the Avengers by the Grim Reaper.

I enjoyed the first couple issues, but I think I'm starting to sour on it about now. It's another one of those books that doesn't hold my interest for the long haul.

Fair enough. I guess in all fairness it seems heads and shoulders above some of the other comics I looked into over the holidays (not the ones you guys recommended).
Also I wasn't aware Tim Drake's parents were millionaire industrialists. I always thought his backstory was like B:TAS. His dad was a small-tine crook trying to make ends meet, and his mom died when he was super young. In fact, didn't Boomerang kill his dad in the comics?
I liked the first two issues, but the last two not so much. It's not bad, there's a lot of nice little things to appreciate, I'm just not blown away by it.

Also, in other topics today marks the first time in nearly a year that Archie has put out SOMETHING in their Sonic/Mega Man trades (on IST), the collected version of the crossover. So that's something at least, though it's a shame it's just a bigger collection of something that's already in trade format.
I've realized, btw, that this mess means in some degree I'm almost certainly going to be buying a series from Comixology for the first time. Like, their "Saga" line is almost certainly cancelled, and the "Archives" line both sucks (it's in a tiny manga-esque format) and will probably never reach the stuff Saga was covering. (For clarity, Archives is a line for old stuff starting at the beginning, whereas Saga skipped ahead to around 160 where the author who didn't massively suck took things over). Though maybe the "current" line of trades (ie post reboot) will at least be able to actually come out... Would also like to at least have Mega Man in print...
Oh, and since Figure talk is on a bit right now, I did get the awesome figuarts Zero Luffy+Law deluxe figure thing, which is awesome (though not exactly on topic)
It's basically the lifetime achievement award from the biggest comics festival in the world, as voted on by a whole mess of industry professionals from pretty much everywhere. (Or at least in theory, there's been some controversy in recent years about exactly that). Winner gets to preside over next year's festival, among other things. It's pretty much the biggest award in comics, above even the Eisner.
Moebius actually did win it in 1981, so, that's what it means.
It does seem to be about as hard to get as possible if Jodo, Manara, Miller and Moore havent gotten it yet. Still you think they'd at least be able to think of one female creator worth nominating. There are plenty to choose from. I find it especially odd I didn't even see Kirby nominated but Lee is. Looks like Eisner was one of the firsts so theres that

Nrama: Yeah. And the series continued a little after Scott left. Is this mini-series going to pick up where that series left off?
Wein: No. It actually isn't. I'm sort of, I guess, going back to "square 2," not square 1. I mean there's been so much that's gone on with the character, so much with the Parliament of Trees and all the other colors of the rainbow the Rot and the Red and the Gray and the polka dot that I wanted to sort of clear the air, at least initially for these six issues.
So I'm going places that I have not been before. I don't disavow any of what they did. I simply don't play off of it.
EDIT: Norman's elevation to top cop seemed to be a Bendis idea. Like after his success with the whole Ultimate Six arc in the Ultimate Spidey book, he didn't get enough of Norman so he spread his love to the mainstream 616 universe and pushing Norman as the ultimate (lol) bad guy, even above Doom of all people. It's just so weird to me.
Most of this week's issues actually show up before last week's ones in the library. Methinks there was a mix up there. Also is it normal for Master of Kung Fu to already be on its 4th and final (?) Issue?
I really like Green Lantern: Secret Origins, but I bet I'd really love it if I liked Hal. Like, at all. It sucks that he's the focal point of Johns' run, because I'd love it that much more.
I read Paper Girls #3 and am watching Trump's rally live.
Paper Girls is getting dangerously close to the "too weird for its own good" area where i don't feel like i've grown attached to the book enough to care about the weirdness.
Read the first issue. Fell into that category of Great Comics I Just Don't Like. It's in good company with Monstress and a bunch of other ComicGaf favorites. It's too brutal and violent for my fragile sensibilities.

This is a fair criticism. I think I just #trustinBKV so much that I can be patient. I expect to get into all this weird stuff as it starts to make more sense. Honestly though, I'd be just as happy if this was a less weird story about these kids. What I love about the book is how real these kids feel. And the art, man, damn.
BKV kinda lost my trust with Saga, I still enjoy reading it monthly but the story doesn't interest me like i hoped it would. I'll stick with Paper Girls a bit because of Chiang and trust remnants.
Wow. Been reading Grant Morrison's Nameless. It's been awesome, gorgeous, graphic, and interesting so far. It's really scratching the space horror itch.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. I still enjoy reading it but i won't be buying the deluxe hardcover because i don't think it has a story worth rereading, more a journey of lewd shocking things that i like from month to month.

I find the story of family and what they will do for each other and how far they will go to be much stronger than the shock images peppered throughout.

Absolutely. And it so is about family. From our core family and their extended family, to
The Will and his adopted daughter and his sister
, to the robot royal family, it really is about what matters most. And I personally think all the far out crazy stuff works so well. If it's sex, then its reminding us of these characters' primal needs. If it's a rocket tree, then it's about the beauty and power of nature and imagination. There isn't lost meaning to me,
even in a dragon sucking itself off. That served to throw us off balance and relax us before one of the most upsetting turns of events the series has seen.

I can count on one hand the books that can match the feeling this page gives me. Oh and this page works because of the dirty shit you see on the planet she was rescued from.
Until about an hour ago I wouldn't even have known who that was. I had never seen a pic of him before. I always pictured him looking like Peter Jackson for some reason.
