This. All the way.
I wish Marvel would release an OHC of Silver Surfer by Slott/Allred.The first fifteen issues before the renumbering would make a perfect first OHC.
They are at 23 issues now. I don't see how they won't do one. It's Slott after all. Then again they have this critically acclaimed book in vision 12 issues and still no hardcover even though the writer and artist have told fans to ask for one, so anything is possible.
So true about Vision. I guess it's just a wait-and-see game.

Soule She-Hulk ended at 12 issues in Feb 2015. Still nothing...
Something tells me that is never coming.
Like a Harden championship.

Just caught up as well and oof ...What a gut punch.
Shame the series isn't getting enough love (though it did get featured on a parenting podcast). It's just one of the most adult comics on the stands. Like I can't think of a book that deals with the emotional and logistical facets of parenting. Saga, maybe?
Every other book treats children as motivation/plot device or operates from their point of view. I just don't see what Hopeless is doing anywhere else. It's too bad Spider-Woman is probably ending soon. I'd love to watch Jessica deal with all the stages of parenthood for years to come.

Gwenpool holiday special is really boring coming after issue 7 and 8, about halfway through it and it seems like one of those A for affort books.
It's not bad, but it's not good enough to be its own thing.
Edit: got to the red skull story, that was worth a random 8 if I've ever randomly seen one, but only that story, real random scoring will have to wait till I finish the issue.
Edit more, finished! Red skull story was the only really good one, pantsgiving was okay...deadpool halloween not so much and most importantly Gwenpools story was awful. Random 5/10

Yeah, it reads kinda badly in singles, unless maybe you have a super great memory, I guess. There are just so many moving pieces. I had to catch up on it and really enjoyed it reading a few issues at a time. But I won't drop it on singles. Want to show it support.

New Power Rangers issue this week at last, since #10 was a Christmas special.
I wish they'd used this for the #11 cover instead of a #9 second print though:

Stuff I've been reading:
Hulk #1: Really enjoyed this. I love Jen and I think I'm going to like this more serious exploration of her character.
Old Man Logan 16: This book continues to be the best. Lemire and Sorrentino really are magic together.
Superman: Damn, I thought I'd escaped this double-shipper, but nope. I had it dropped but then I read the annual, which I loved. Had fun with the first issue of the multiplicity arc.
Detective Comics 948: Omg so hyped for the Batwoman solo! That opening spread where she used the
, nngh!
Walking Dead: Dug Whisperer's War. The politics between factions will be interesting. No way is
Black Panther continues to be beautiful.
Comics are good.

I thought you bailed on Batman. Other than the first issue I haven't loved it either, but it seems like it's always on the verge of becoming good, but never quite does.

You are the only person I know who does a lot of things
Anyone else hyped for kill or be killed?
Shit's like max Payne with the crazy vhead mobster dude boss from the first game as the main character. Can't wait to see where they go with it. Liked it so much I picked up criminals and scene of the crime immediately during the comixology holiday sale. Great reads all around.

I've been reading since #1. Black Monday Murders is also excellent if you're looking for something else to try.

Whoops, guess I need to add Spider-Gwen 16 to my pulls this week. Didn't realize this Spider-Man story was a crossover. Well, fingers crossed. Good start.

It's hard to be hyped for anything else the week Manifest Destiny comes out. It's unfair to other books really.
But yeah Kill or Be Killed has been really good so far.
Well I am the black panther.
I got all of MD as well during that sale but haven't been able to get into it. I love the history of the Era, but it's not what I'm looking for at all when I want to read a comic. I know it gets crazier based on the covers but it just seems to start quite slow I would guess.
I'll probably give it another shot tonight though.
And I'll definitely look at black Monday murders too!
Slam #1 was the best #1 of NovemberI just bought the first two issues. This better not be lovely!
