There are so many reasons that I need to read that run.

Maybe later. Think I'll go with a WW due to the movie. DV when we know more about DV2.
I will fight you.

Did you see him joke about calling in sick in March due to Mass Effect?
It's most certainly up there, but it needs more time before it can truly claim the throne.

LOL at anyone thinking the game will actually be out in March. That shit is getting delayed to November for sure.

After seeing how quickly EA games crash in price the last few months I won't even need to wait a month to pick it up at half price most likely.
That one was all me bruh.

Why? If the latest issue is better than anything else released this month, it's the "best superhero comic currently being published".
Fair enough, though I was thinking in terms of it being one of my favorite comics in recent memory. In terms of what's out right now, Nova is definitely the best comic currently being published.

Holy crap it's cold outside. -12°C(10.4°F). I just want to get home from work and into my warm bed.

Nah its coming out. EA is just trying to do that fallout marketing. Shinobi said February will be when the trailers hit.
Lol wut? This is the first week. We haven't even got the good stuff yet
Why do you hate good comics?

Still don't follow this logic. No other single comic book had this much charm and intelligence and heart backed up by perfect cartooning and character design, what does it matter if it was the first, second, or fucking seven hundredth issue.
Seriously, someone explain to me how that matters since it's literally everyone's argument. Not "well, _____ was better and here are specific reasons why." Just, "uh, issue #2, bruh."

If Mass Effect comes out in March, I will be fucking astounded. There's no way a game we haven't seen that much coverage of yet is going to go gold two months from now.
oh man, if I still had that PM where you said you were no good at making up thread titles....
#Flowpinions
"No single comic book had".. uh no duh it's the first of the week.
How is it the best this month when we not only are in the first week but we also haven't read the rest of this month stuff.
Then "best super hero book" reads like a cop out not to compare it to the actual great stuff. If the book is good compare it to the rest and not just "super hero books"
Furthermore to claim a book is number 1 so early is kinda like a fanboy thing because you are closing your mind to the other books that are releasing later this month.
Finally its cool man if you feel strongly about a book. But hyperbole leads to quotes.

YEAH
PULL QUOTES BABY
Side note, look at how groundbreaking this book looks versus how shit-ass dull this logo is

Explains logic. Proceeds to avoid logic.

Look you're not wrong mathematically but in my head I can't think of anything better right now and that's enough for me.
If it's not enough for you, don't read my [REDACTED] columns coming later this year.
Looks like something one should read while taking drugs.

It's exactly why I picked it up. Then the first arc was entirely about Supes fighting Doomsday and OH LOOK WONDER WOMAN WOW COOL WOW aaaaaand she's gone
It seemed like every Super book was going to cover different characters, but only ONE was going to focus on Supes himself
Yes, it is. Catch up now!
I hope The Beguiling has a few things left during the later days of their closing/moving sale.
Read comics by the fireplace and you'll never run out of kindling.Holy crap it's cold outside. -12°C(10.4°F). I just want to get home from work and into my warm bed.

I've read it. It's a lovely book.
I'm not gonna lie there are some bangers on that album lol
Do you have the hardcovers? I love them. They're so cheap but so well made and adorably sized.

Nah, I read it digitally. I've seen the graphic novels, they're cute.

I'm so behind on Valiant right now. The last thing I bought from them was the Armor Hunters event and a few issues of Rai that I need to catch up on.

Generation Zero has been really enjoyable if you haven't checked it out yet.
ACO is gonna draw the hell out of that book

I might check it out, but I will probably stick with Rai and maybe a few other things.
EDIT: I need to catch up on Imperium too.

Read Captain America: Steve Rogers #1. About how old is Sharon Carter?

Amazing how much effort is put into that book

She was aged during the Remender run.

She got artificially aged up due to some comic book fuckery or another in the run before that one. She started out as indeterminately 30-something and ended up 60+.

40-50 or thereabouts. She "died" in Dimension Z and returned in The Tomorrow Soldier having long enough in Zola's dimension for young Nomad to become an adult. 15-20 years? Old enough that she didn't look out of place next to old man Steve Rogers, which I assume was Remender's plan.
Now Steve is young and Sharon is still Sharon.
Awesome!

Based on what you guys are saying I'm gonna have to pick this up.

Despite their silly shenanigans what comes next is still a part of the Whisperer War. So I'll wait until the storyline is over before I judge. I mostly enjoyed it up to this point.
