Can I join in but read the Lemire/Sorrentino Green Arrow instead?
I wish we could do that the month after. But people probably don't want two months of archers.

Pete Carroll Owns Me
He is boring (to me) though and a good story doesn't change that.
I'm British, of course I hate hope and optimism.

Is Ultimate F4 any good?
Or is it one of those parts of the Ultimate universe we don't touch with the Anti Monitor's barge pole?

I really like it, dont listen to the people who run the hatetrain only because Doom had goate legs.
Great stuff like Marvel Zombies came out of it.

I'll join you. I have the individual TPBs but haven't gotten around to reading them yet. I really want to, though.

HmmmmmmmEdit: And in other news....
Jem & The Holograms writer Kelly Thompson and Prez artist Ben Caldwell taking over on A-Force.
I like it!
That's what I assumed. It seemed kind of asspull-y to use a character already introduced, but didn't make sense to be there. Like, the "Red Lantern" was clearly supposed to be the Red Avatar (probably under a different influence), but then they made the Red Avatar the Beast from the Tower of Fate, which would have worked, but it didn't line up.

Dat A-Force art looks lovely.
Isn't Ben Caldwell the guy who has 50,000 books out about Cartooning?

Is this happening?
I have all the single issues but have thought about getting the omni. The latter would definitely get me to read it again.

ooo Hawkguy book club?
That could be cool. Although I'm still waiting on the 2nd oversized HC to arrive.
Edit: It's just a thread? aww, i thought we were gonna get flown by the Comic-GAF invisible jet to GameProff's island hideaway to discuss comics in a gentlemanly fashion before it goes all And Then There Were None on us.

He's been working on it actively. You should contact him before doing anything.
I'm going to post a thread today, here's the rough draft:
Title: Comics-Gaf Book Reading Comics Book Club for Books: Hawkeye edition
Post: Let's read Hawkeye, you go first.
I'm also going to include a picture.

Knowing Zombine, we'll probably have to edit it at least once.
The guy who created the awesome newcomer recommendations thread?
thread would have been good but it was full of comic book recommendations.
I misread

Messi pls
Pretty sure Zombine has said he's working on it. No difference to me; they both make stellar threads.

Stick to the BKV ones, i think there are three ( there were three hardcovers). Anything else should be relegated to MU. Runaways is still one of my favorites, great cast and story.
Thanks! I've definitely been interested for a while, so it's good to have a better idea of how to approach it.

I wanted to, I'm pretty sure I even suggested it to begin with. Outside of a handful of people, no one seemed interested so I stopped bringing it up.
I thought you were the one who brought it up originally. Lame.

That's awesome. I'm on board for this.
Not what Marvel thinks though.
It's still 616.

Really? I thought Marvel was always sort of distancing themselves from the idea of 616.

Don't worry Zombeen, this is ComicGAF. We'll find a way to fuck it up anyway.

I'm only 14 issues into the 800-900 part of the Marvel Reading Order, but I've enjoyed every single story so far. It started with 8 Spider-man stories in a row, all of which were really engaging. Then 3 Daredevil stories which were bad, but I can give them a pass since they FINALLY 'killed off' Mike Murdock. I've also been treated to two #1s with Namor getting a reboot with his own Sub-Mariner line, and Doctor Strange getting his own standalone series continuing from Strange Tales.
Over the last 200 issues Marvel have launched #1s or stand-alone comics for:
Hulk
Captain America
Thor
Iron Man
Captain Marvel
Namor the Sub-Mariner
Doctor Strange
It's been insane to see how quickly Marvel have branched out and almost doubled the amount of full length books they're doing in the last 10 years (I'm currently reading stuff released from ~1968) and perhaps even less.
At this point Roy Thomas seems to be a major playing in Marvel, and has been trusted to write Namor, Avengers, X-Men and now Doctor Strange. Only Stan Lee is writing more. However, like Stan Lee, his writing can range from really engaging (Avengers) to the utter drizzly shits (X-Men) and there's often nothing in between. I'm really enjoying the Thomas/Adkins combo on the newly released Doctor Strange (1968) - REALLY enjoying.
I'll do a more detailed write up once I've read 50 or so issues, but I just had to share the good news how good this stretch has been so far!
However there are some reoccurring 'Marvel Troups' I'm hoping disappear soon.
- Love Triangles
- Time Limit Weaknesses (Thor's Hammer, Captain Marvel out of costume, etc.)
- Robots/Androids/Replicants

It shouldn't be hard to Google. It was an actual variant cover theme last year during that one month. It was during the Marvel NOW push.
Gorgeous. American Vamp?
Yup! Two page spread from American Vampire: Second Cycle #1. Pages 15&16.
