I can honestly say I have no idea what's going on here. Today, at least, as it seems to be something new every day.

I've been playing Rebel Galaxy most of the day.

It doesn't bother me when people here like bad books or have the wrong opinion on something, i just accept that they have room to grow and move on. I'm very forgiving that way.

Like being on Team Finn instead of Rey.

Everyone has different opinions on things, and that's fine. What I don't get is why some people get upset at certain opinions and seem to take it as a personal insult.

Rachel Rising is such a good comic. It helps that Zoe is so blasted amusing.

I wish I had a little sister like that.

And damnit people, just go make out already! Sheesh.

Also.

Rey was best. Team Finn......snort.

Yeah it's too bad. Pacific Rim is perfect for a comic.

It's genuinely upsetting, because I love the movie to death, and the Tales from Year Zero comic was a cool story, but I guess this is so eh. Something about the way it's being told just isn't working.

Saw a challenge on CBR about reading 1000 books in a year. Thought I'd give it a try with a lower target of 500 at first because I don't know if I have that many issues in the backlog
I do. Probably
. Just to keep it as easy as possible to track, I'm just going by one issue = one book.unless it's a stupidly low page count. I won't count oversized as double or triple issues either. Strictly official demarcation. Hopefully this might spur me to put a dent in the backlog.

I did this last year, was good fun. Hit 800 issues.
I also kept track of what I read in a spreadsheet. Saved me time when creating my year-end list.

Hrmmm so I'm thinking of going ahead and making one more order taking advantage of Barnes & Nobles buy 2 get 1 free graphic novel sale. Their individual prices are competitive against amazon and it's not a bad deal.

I wanna get fables deluxe edition 10 & 11 and the last 4 part epic book of X-Men Age of Apocalypse. I actually collected most of the issues individually as a kid but I never finished the arc, I've been curious for a long time how exactly things ended.

So yay or nay comic gaf?

Question to all the comic people in here. Do Dan Slot's Spider-man issues get collected in hardcover or only as trade paper backs?

I started reading Spider-Man back when it was at about #677. I'm selling my floppies and switching to a hardcover/TPB collection. Now I'm slightly confused about the order of Spider-Man.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
Amazing Spider-Man went up to #700 and then switched to Superior for about 32 issues?
It then switched back to Amazing Spider-Man for another 18 issues or so?
Now it's started at #1 again with the All New "jumping on" point?

Does this sound correct?
Is the 2nd volume (#1-18) what has only just started being released in hardcover?

Sounds about right.
Are there any rumours if Amazing will get collected at OHC's?

These are OHCs. Well the superior ones were. I assume this one is the same as it is 13 issues.

The start of his amazing run I have no idea. If they do the rest im sure they will go back and collect those in OHCs.

Animal Man #6 - #11: Another fucking event. -_- At least Morrison did something interesting with those issues. Both the
Thanagar
and Red Death issues were quite good. But I hate the "I missed something" and the "where did that come from" monents when I expect a continuous story.

Maybe because of the one-and-done stories instead of longer arcs, this feels like a much faster read than Doom Patrol.

Finished my reread of Whedon's Astonishing X-Men. Still great. Still get the feels when Kitty finds Colossus. That page and the page after are really well done.

The end of this run is when I stopped reading X-men as a teenager so where do I go from here? I understand there's a whole series of mini events to do with the X-men and they end up in San Francisco? I've read House of M years ago but I have very little modern X-men knowledge beyond that and not sure what the order is. When does Scott become such a dick?

Read the main 1602 series too. Really enjoyed that. Not sure I'm bothered with any of the spin offs though.

How would you feel if you picked up your phone and a co worker had taken dick pics with your camera and sent 4 messages to four different girls in your phone book .

Well Age of Apocalypse isn't conspired exactly great or anything but there are few things more satisfying than finishing a storyline you started many years ago.
