Alright Comic Gaf. I'm gonna try and get through some of my comic backlog today. What do you guys think I should read? I've got:
Afterlife With Archie Volume 1
Batman: Zero Year Volume 1 & 2
Morrison's Flex Mentallo
Fraction's Hawkeye (I suppose I'll save this for that reading club that's going on?)
Locke & Key Volume 2 & 3
Pretty Deadly Volume 1
Parker: The Hunter
Sex Criminals Volume 1
Southern Bastards Volume 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 1-4 (the new IDM series)
Thor: God of Thunder Volume 1 & 2
Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers & Volume 1 of More Than Meets the Eye
I'm probably definitely going to read Southern Bastards, but the rest is pretty up in the air. I also have Sandman and Waid's entire Daredevil run, but those are a bit too intimidating right now.

That's a crazy good backlog. I'd go with God of Thunder. That's the Aaron and Ribic arc I think.
Batman Zero Year
Seems like the Gang of Harleys is getting their own mini-series

This. I just read it over the past few days and it's fantastic.

Need more DC april solicits. I would think they'd plan the relaunch around that time to ride BvS hype.
Everything was Harley
Also reusing that Jim Lee variant cover is bullshit. It's a lovely cover but it was a cover just this month.

Incorrect.
Quentin Quire.
Oh so that's what that's from? That's acknowledged in Hawkeye vs. Deadpool.

Zero Year. Save Hawkeye for the reading club. Place Flex Mentallo on whatever shelf you use to hold up comics that are too clever for their own good. Can't comment on the rest.

I like Conner's new redesign of Harley with the new hair color. Looks nice.
Also, just finished up BPRD Plague of Frogs. Excellent series to the end. It's insane how one of the issues shows off a design that I don't think was even used in BPRD until more recently. The amount of planning that has gone into this series and the general plot is crazy. If Hell on Earth manages to stay this good, this is easily one of the best team books created.
edit: TerminalDogma: I'd say go with Flex since it's a one and done story. It's really good.

Transformers and Locke and Key. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LOCKE AND KEY. Especially Head Games and Crown of Shadows. Though Clockwork is my favorite.
I really like Locke and Key.

This is really interesting. Looks like Dysart believes in comics as journalism. Kirby was really into that too

Just finished up Volume 2 of Southern Bastards. That book is so damn good. Not sure if it's something I could read month to month though, just seems to read better in trade. Most books seem to read better in trade these days. I find myself more drawn to comedic books like Squirrel Girl and Howard the Duck for monthlies.
Speaking of reading monthlies, I didn't realize that the artist for Southern Bastards is the writer for Spider-Gwen. A lot of people seem to frown on that book, but I've been enjoying it month to month. I've also never really read any "alternate universe" type books outside of Secret Wars, so I think that's a large part of the appeal to me. Just seeing how they re-imagine these characters in that universe, I get a real kick out of it.
Pretty strong reactions towards Locke & Key so I think that's the next book I'm gonna go for today. If I've still got some comic reading left in me after that, I'll probably do Flex Mentallo since it's only 4 issues. Having read We3 and Vimanrama yesterday, I might as well continue with the Morrison theme.

Locke and Key has a panel that still disturbs me to this day. And it's in the first volume.
i will make it up by allowing the Rockets to beat the Clippers tonight. Somehow.

Oh YES. Reading The Black Beetle by Francavilla, it's AMAZING. Great pulpy fun.
And what an absolute beast Francavilla is at panel design and action sequencing. Look at this:
What a perfect sequence.
Keep posting more pics of this book so I can make the decision to buy this even easier.
They will choke with or without your help.

His unknown solider run was in the same Bain as this. One of the secret best vertigo books
Is this a Mini or a ongoing? Is that HC oversized?
Standard size, and it was a miniseries. Francavilla said a new miniseries will release this year, which I'm VERY excited about.
I dont like Standard HCs, but this looks great...

Pfffffttttt...yeah ooooohkkkkk.... LIES.. all lies.
I have the floppies of The Black Beetle mini-series, one of my favorites. This and Black Mirror (batman) is why Francavilla is one of my fav artists.
There was suppose to be a second mini-series.... early LAST YEAR.... Hes waaayy to busy doing variant covers for every single comic that has come out....
Sorry it sounds like hate,, but no just disappointment.
Have faith, my friend. Although the comment about doing variant covers for every comic ever released cracked me up. He really does do so many covers, haha.
This year's going to be different.
I can totally see this being a thing James harden believes.
Hey guys, Marvel is liquidating some omnibus stock. Some great deals!

I bought the Oz Omnibus and the Marvel 75th Anniversary Omnibus. I am VERY excited for the Oz Omnibus. My wife has one of the Marvel Oz books in trade format and it's beautiful.

Tempted to bite on X-Statix or Roger Stern Spider-Man but I just blew a bunch of money so I'm gonna have to pass on them.
Speaking of blowing money, I just ordered two statues earlier: Abe Sapien and a mini-bust of Liz based off of the animated Hellboy stuff. Cost me less than $40! I'm super excited.
