Did you like hellcat?
I could have died.
I think it's cute in some ways. I dig some of the lighter books right now.

Ultimately, this is why I went digital. It was too irritating to sort comics into my shortboxes every week. I have better things to do.

Amazing, all good stuff - thanks!
Even if you're not digging Mr. Bloom or the conflict itself,
seeing Bruce return is where the real hype is at

Yoooo first 6 issues of Copra showed up on CMX. One less series I have to buy in trades. Good times

Hopefully they add more issues. I have the first two trades but haven't picked up volume 3 just yet.

I'm sure they will. Just stretching out the releases over a couple weeks or so

Wow, Uncanny Inhumans may be the first time I've seen Kang not be a boring piece of poop.
The current two Inhuman books are some of the best books in ANAD. I like Kang in this.

I'll concur with Tim's opinion that the new Surfer feels different than the last volume. It's not bad, but the story felt rushed in this issue. There were some nice little pop-culture references, though.
There will probably be a tease for Bullseye at the end of Season 2. I hope he's as insane and creepy as he is comics. He's in my top ten villains list.
I can't do Uncanny X-Men anymore. The story is interesting enough. It has Mystique in it which I love. But Lands art is killing me. This book is begging for a better artist. The porno faces are too much and there is one panel near the end that looks like it was traced from a porno of someone giving a blowjob. I hate it. I love the team, I love that (#2 spoiler)
. But the art kills my enjoyment.
Triage will be in it soon

No joke, I was considering buying #2 today, until I scoped the preview pages CMX posted. Dat Mystique face. NopeNopeNope
I wish that was the worst one.
this one...
Mystiques part may actually be the best part of the book. The art is solid enough.

What's wrong with the face?
Mystiques one? Imo its fine. Thats just how land being land...but the other one? lol.

Is it more to do with the expressions?
The worst part is, they put a new colorist on him. It's not Guru eFX dropping terrible fucking gradients all over the place, it's a whole lot more cleaner, the colors pop more. It's the best Land has looked.
And then you remember that he's still Greg Goddamn Land, you recognize one of the five stock women smiling faces he uses in every goddamn thing and you hate him, and yourself for reading a greg land comic.
GOD HOW THE FUCK DOES HE STILL GET JOBS ANYWHERE COME THE FUCK ON

Its about where he is tracing them from and those elements remain.
Also he draws the same few females over and over. Which a lot of artists do. See Noto.
this one kills me every time
This is my biggest problem. The porno faces make me laugh sometimes but the lack of movement annoys me so much.
I liked the Madman cameo a lot.
Great Darkness Saga, the Curse, the 2000 Legion Lost miniseries, Legion of Three Worlds, the Lightning Saga.
Gets his pages out on time, and his name sells, provided you don't pay attention to the fact the books he's on would sell regardless because the X-Men and post-movie Iron Man are things that people buy.
Can't be coincidental that Spider-Woman improved dramatically the first issue after he left lol.

It's easy to hit your deadlines when three-quarters of your work is recycled or traced.

Fables has some fantastic covers.
I have been re-reading Astro City and that is another series with some consistently brilliant covers.

Astro City was one of the few comic books that my high school library had, and I flipped through it a few times. Definitely cool covers, but I couldn't get into it because the only book they had was volume three, and I like to start from the beginning.
Sandman definitely has a great style to it.
Would have ended in November. Also we would have seen Doom's masked face somehow look like that picture of Triple H he loves.

Sell it to me. I'm curious of that series
Just finished reading Multiversity. Loved it for the most part. Particularly loved Ultra Comics and Pax Americana and their trippy panel layouts. The only issue I didn't really like was "The Just". Every character in that issue was an awful, awful human being, including Wally West and Kyle Raynor, and it definitely made it a slog to get through. Earth-16 is definitely Earth-Asshole.
^ I finished it a few days ago, and I actually really liked The Just. I found it extremely interesting. They are supposed to be very self-absorbed, so it gives it a different feel over the normally selfless heroes. I liked it a lot.
My favorite issue was...hmm..probably Thunderworld Adventures, though Pax Americana was the most impressive. I honestly liked all of the issues.

Luck or CGI?
Luck that it landed like that at first. I used to blow my hair away from my face all the time when I had long hair.
Currently reading this before I go back to the next trade for Morrison's Batman run:
It really amazes me how quality the writing and art are considering this comic is from 1952! Pretty incredible.
Yeah, it really does hold up. It was also really, really impressive to see how far he'd come since A Christmas on Bear Mountain (talking more the collection, though the title stories on both volumes sharing the Christmas theme makes the comparison come off extra strong from the start.)
Does the Christmas on Bear Mountain volume come before the Shacktown one chronologically? If so, I will stop reading this since I am extremely early into it and read the Bear Mountain one instead.

Tokyo Ghost first arc was fantastic. So glad it's going to continue.

Brutal issue of Tokyo Ghost this month. I know some people weren't into it at first but it's become really good IMO. I dig the art and aesthetics a lot. I like how it's become a story about addiction and overcoming it more than anything else. I guess I was wrong about
What a way to end the arc though, this is gonna be a long wait.
Davey not coming back LOL. His dialogue's not as bad as it was in the first issue at least.
