Huh. I actually stopped watching at 4 because 3 and 4 pissed a younger me off with the dumb changes they made. So I guess good to hear that I didn't miss much by doing that.

The Walking Dead #150
Very good issue, even though it was overhyped to the max. Progressed the story in a meaningful way. I think something major needs to happen in the next few issues, though.
Ninjak #11
Braithwaites art is a vision. Otherwise, some really interesting developments in this issue regarding Magpie, and a really great backup story. Perhaps a bit too much setup in this issue, still.
Robin War #2
Solid conclusion to a solid event. Some parts werent amazing, but I think this event was worth it, at least for the incredible Grayson issue and the conclusion. Some meaningful changes are going to stem from here, it would seem.
Mighty Thor #3
This was a really fun issue. Having Thor face off against
was really entertaining. Coupled with some beautiful art, Id say this was either my favorite book this week or close to it. I highly recommend everyone be reading this book; its one of the best of ANAD. Some hilarious call backs and metahumor, too.
Huck #3
An ok, kind of predictable issue. There was a neat development at the end, but otherwise Im keeping up due to Albuquerques art.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #0
I can tell this series is going to be a lot of fun. Im disappointed I have to wait until March, but Higgins has really captured the spirit of the tv series and added in some comic and slightly more adult flourishes to it. Im eager to see where it goes. Also, the art is striking.
Dr. Mirage: Second Lives #2
This series is suffering from the same problem as the original: because its not really a cape book, and Dr. Mirage does not really have the powers to fight crime, ghosts, the like, its become more of an occult book. What this basically means is that, theres a whole lot of talking. Thats not a big deal by any means, but trying to keep up with everything is easier done by reading all these issues together; thisll be a much more fluid read in trade. Otherwise, this book wins art of the week for those flashback panels.
All-New All Different Avengers #3
Ok, finally this series breaks out of the doldrums. With #0, they kind of teased something they hadnt really delivered on. I think Waid is starting to pick up that groove now. Also, Nova finally got his head out of his ass, though I could still do without him. I liked the interplay between the characters in this issue a lot. I hope this upcoming arc is at this level or better.

DeathoftheEndless
Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I finally read the comics I bought last week.
Captain America: White #5 and Swamp Thing #1 made me feel like I traveled through time. They're both old-school in a good way. Some of the dialogue in Swamp Thing is weird, but the premise has a lot of potential. Captain America has some touching narration and was a nice story overall.
The Fade Out #12 is a great conclusion to one of Brubaker and Philips' best collaborations. It was a fascinating look at the seedier side of old Hollywood. The characters were compelling and the story was gripping. The ending is not "satisfying" in the most general way, but that's the whole point.

Hasn't Robinson been writing a Fantastic Four ongoing?
Or was that a joke that went over my head...

Has anyone read Morrison's Supergods book?
Kinda wanted to read it for a while now and I've got an operation in a month or two and figured might be a nifty paperback to have for a couple of nights.

I'd say no. Superman has in and out of universe qualities lending himself really well to that sort of thing.
BTW everybody should be reading American Alien. Even the Mahvel stans.

It's a good read. Explains a lot about both comics in general and Morrison stories in particular.

Heh, I'll get it closer to the time then. I tend to take things at face value/too seriously so when Morrison does his trademark throwaway stuff about metaphysics or gods or just general waxing poetic sometimes I don't realize that I'm not meant to absorb it all. Or maybe I am. The man is a magician, after all.
I'm really excited to read this story arc in like a year

He's convinced that he caused an earthquake by bring a temple to life and turning into a giant lion.
You should ABSOLUTELY take the metaphysical stuff at face value, he's 100% serious.

Holy shit, Morrison....
Doom Patrol is super tragic but kinda easy-ish to understand so far.
Yes. It's a good read and a fairly quick one. You get a real sense of his love of comic history throughout.

My favorite thing about Morrison is how hopelessly optimistic a lot of his stuff is. There's a better world, there must be.
Same did they to me. And you didnt missed much, just a buch of action movies without charm.
Meh. House out of ideas.
No...it can't be...

It's either
Wasp, or just another Hank Pym teaser referring to the Yellow Jacket persona.
But Pym is still merged with Ultron.
If it's what I think it is, I'll forgive them for Civil War Duh.
No, Rage of Ultron happens around the time skip post Wars as well as the Antman Annual which she cameoed in. Plus she's in All New Wolverine.
What do you think?
dude, this is a forum, where you discuss things. speculation isnt spoilers. just say what you think
My friend Rus "The Bus" Wooton has now lettered a whopping 131 consecutive issues of The Walking Dead.
Rus is a great letterer, artist, writer, and podcaster.

I liked Azkaban and Goblet better than the first two. Yates becoming director turned out to be the beginning of the end for me.

Did they ever explain what happened to Wasp after AXIS? Last I saw, Havok went nuts and kidnapped her, or something.

It's
Hank Pym. He probably science'd a way to separate himself from Ultron and turn himself into a lady while he was at it. We're getting Ant-Woman

I'll say American Alien has given Superman a more enjoyable personality. Really has done a good job of humanizing him.

Holy fuck, I have no idea what Clayton Crain tapped into to produce this, but hes showing himself up in this comic.

Looks more interesting than TFA so far imo.
I agree. I think the nostalgia boner will even be larger

Oh fuck yes. Day One. I don't even like Soule that much, but he's excellent on Star Wars stuff.
