- Start date
comic pro tip: Though not old lore related, there is a new Black Panther book coming out starting in April.
Sweet. Yeah aside from the old cartoons from saturday mornings and netflix/hollywood movies/shows, I really don't know too much about these heroes. Hence why I'm trying to really get into it.
Edit: any specific Punisher (another one im interrsted in) series I should start with? Or would googling the very first issue and reading through till now be the best approach.
Edit 2: just subscribed with MU. Oh man I'm excited. Hope this site isn't blocked at work lol.

Yeah, I felt that way too, especially after reading #2 and #3. Kind of frustrated, like, I don't need all this mystery and shit, I just want a book about these Paper Girls. You know, listening to the raddest new cassettes, smoking under the bleachers, saving their earnings for the next new NES games, etc. The girls and that time/world feel so real and you just want the story to be THERE. Not focused on the other weirdness.
But with #4 I felt myself kind of giving in to it. It helped that I'm starting to care about the
future boys
fly away on enormous dinosaurs
Also, my girl made the point to me that the juxtaposition of having these girls alongside the

Read Ennis's run.
This 2000 - 2001 one, Then this one 2001-2003 one
He follows that up with a heavier Punisher MAX but thats not on Unlimited
Jason Aaron also had a run on Punisher thats not available
Remender had a wacky good run titled Frankencastle that ends in this series
Rucka had a good one too
Some people like the most recent Punisher run by Edmondson and Gerads but theres a lot of racist undertones in the book.
To DC is brining back Bloodlines

MU is the tits but it's kind of amazing how awful it is. Well, not just the app but the entire Marvel website as well. I was trying to log out last night and literally could not, as in I was clicking on the sign out button and it would just refresh the page but kept me logged on.
pro-tip: unless you really need for some reason, avoid downloading any comics for offline reading (unless you're going to go offline, of course). For whatever reason it causes the whole app to have massive slowdown, at least on my tablet. But you might be using your PC so idk.

Don't forget about Star Lord in the back.

Man what I wouldn't give for a modern JSA cartoon
Or an Earth 2 cartoon.

Expecting to Fly and Giant Days.

So far JSA is really good. Just finished Robinson's run, and now Geoff Johns is up. All with David Goyer. Odd that no one ever mentions him unless they're shitting on him for whatever movie they didn't like

Hm. I've ever heard of the first one.
Brainfart on my part, I meant Expecting to Fly. There's only two issues (sadly). It's a prequel to John Allison's webcomic.
But it's great.

True Story Swear to God is also a great slice-of-life book by Tom Beland. And it's autobiographical.

Do we have any idea how often Marvel reprint their hardcover Marvel Masterworks collections? I want to Uncanny X-Men set but they mostly seem to be going for $100usd each on Amazom which is way too much.
Does anyone know of any other options for purchasing them?
I'm from Australia if that helps or doesn't help. lol

Hawkworld isn't on sale, lame :V
I feel like Hawkworld was on sale over the summer, because I definitely grabbed it.
That's probably my favorite pre injury Howard Porter art, his stuff on the Ray was so good.
And speaking of Hawkman, over the past couple weeks CMX has added the three issue Legend of the Hawkman miniseries. I kind of feel like no one has read it but me, it originally came out around 2000 and was written by Ben Raab with art from Michael Lark. When it was released in print, each issue was released in that prestige format, and they were all like 50 or so pages long. It uses the Silver Age Thanagarians living on Earth versions of the Hawks and was a pretty decent story. If you like self contained stories and the Hawks, you could do a lot worse than the $6 it costs to grab it on CMX.

JSA is my favorite johns run, only ever so slightly ahead of Green Lantern. It does get overcrowded in the second volume though, I think he was starting to write GL and lost interest.
I've almost finished reading all of John's runs. I still have to through his action comics stuff, Teen titans (probably after I finished David's Young Justice), and Hawkman.

Even the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl solicits are the greatest.

My only issue with the JSA is that I don't think I've seen a team get their collective asses handed to them so much. Good god. They're OP! Damn guys get it together
This book keeps on being the best.

Marvel doubling-down on Spider people in those solicits.

Waiting for those Image solicits! Maybe April is the month Manifest Destiny finally comes back to me. Even if all the male characters is jerks now.
What about the comic tho?
Because of the Spider-Women Event?

Man. The Clown at Midnight issue in Batman and Son was utterly exhausting. I didn't hate it (besides the "art") and the writing was good for the most part (besides the overuse of similes and metaphors), but the whole time I was wishing the issue was done so I could go on to a "normal" one.
Is it going on sale tomorrow?
YESSSSSS! I love him
Nah, doesn't hit til April
Dafuq! Did this get delayed or something
Brian Fellows

I don't think they ever actually announced when it would start before, just that it was coming in 2016.
good, good....
