Just read my first issue of Batgirl since the Death of the Family arc. Really solid book. I think I'll stick with it. The premise of the Batgirl: Wanted arc is promising.

Superior Spider-Man - Fantastic issue.
Hawkeye - Had a lot to live up to after the last issue, and I say it did. I'm really liking these issues that feel like one-shots.
Daredevil - Great issue as always.
Young Avengers - This issue was gorgeous. It took me a while to get used to the writing in this series, but the art is what made me stick with it.
Indestructible Hulk - The interaction between Daredevil and Hulk made this a fun one to read.
Pretty much loved everything I picked up this week so far, even though I haven't had a chance to read Ghosted or Justice League yet.
The creation of a spider-island was a pretty cool development.

Really liked the dialogue between Murdock and Nate Hackett. Shocked when he was shot at the end.

Avengers Arena:
I know it was a cheap comeback, but I am really happy Nico is not dead. I love runaways and was a little pissed thinking they killed off one of my favorite characters.

He's gonna be doing $20 sketch covers at a store around 40 minutes from my house on Saturday, I'm debating going. On one hand, he's not in the U.S. often and he's a great artist, but I'm still saving up for SDCC and I can't simply drive down there. Hurm.

Batman was fantastic this week. The almost Oroboros-
page was spectacular. When Capullo and Snyder think of new ways to present scenes, it's always on point and fucking rad.

Just been reading my vol2 trade of Saga and wow, #11 just slayed me. Such an incredible book, I love how it's not about all the Star Wars shit at all, it's about love and family, it's wonderful. That whole riff with Sexy Alana and "shoot it in my twat" had me legit laughing out loud too, Vaughn has a couple talking about sex in a way that I've never seen in a comic before and it's so sweet and dirty and realistic. Such a stunning book.

More at the link, including an interview with Brahm Revel.
I recently read all 12 issues and enjoyed it greatly too. I'm glad I read it back to back though. And yeah, the crazy space stuff works greatly as a backdrop for all the character interactions. It's one of those books where no matter how random something may appear you still feel they know what they're doing.

Also, there's a new on-going spinning out of Infinity called "Inhuman", written by Matt Fraction. Haven't announced the artist yet, but here's a McNiven picture because why not
Boy, either McNiven didn't get the memo on the new Spidey outfit or they are ending Superior faster than I thought
ooooooooooooooor it's Miles Morales

keep it up and they'll start a Marvel Downtime line that is dedicated to wolverine and spider-man eating pizza, sleeping, and going on vacation. It will be written by Bendis.

That looks more like a general promo pic for Marvel Now Phase 2 than a promotion for any particular book or storyline. Odd.

Well, actually, this way I'm saving money, but don't want it to last too long, y'know?

So Rich Johnson was correct again. Only thing that sucks is I assumed it would be a book about the Inhumans not the Marvel Universe in general.

It's about the Inhumans.

Father_Brain's right, that artwork looks like a promotional piece, just like the first one that came out when Marvel NOW! was announced.

Would be a shame, really enjoying OcktoSpidey.
I would guess that his approach to the series will be more along the lines of his Mighty Thor.
Matt Fraction wouldn't have been my pick for an Inhumans book though.

Are we getting a little relaxed about spoiler tags, maybe? Even if we're not talking about major plot points, I reckon spoiler tags are in order when we are referencing specific details of what is happening in the panels of a recently released or upcoming floppy or trade. I've read a couple things in the last few pages that I wish I hadn't.
While I'm bitching, I finished Scalped vol. 1, and I really should have waited until the end of it to begin heaping praise. While it's a finely crafted product, I'm not going to be reading further.

They killed my favorite character. Yet another woman in a refrigerator- killed to advance the plot and complicate the life of the protagonist. Yawn.

Whhhhat.
The death in Scalped is in no way a Woman In A Refrigerator type deal AT ALL. It is essential to the story and has repercussions and layers all the way through to the end of the series. It's almost 100% about that murder. Was Laura Palmer a woman in a refrigerator?

I haven't had a chance to read my books from yesterday yet, only Superman Unchained, and wow fucking off the hook good.
Justice League is up next.

Your spoiler is the center of the entire series. It would be the equivalent of turning off Mystic River due to what happens in the first few minutes.

Ok, Ok, fair enough. I only read the first trade, so I didn't have the full picture. With how much was happening and how complicated the situation was already, it didn't occur to me
that they would make Gina's murder a major ongoing focus moving forward from here. Still, it hurts a lot. And I guess it's suppose to, I get it. But the fact remains that the character I most wanted to follow through the series is gone.

Those marvel knight books sound amazing.
Inhumans sounds goo enough to try. Also night crawler looking dude is that guy from battle of the atom.

Flashbacks exist for a reason and I don't understand how you could get that attached to a barely-developed character. Isn't the first volume largely about Dash arriving on/integrating into the Rez?
I wonder what the demand will be for an absolute-ish $100 slipcase collection of Chew 1-20. The oversized hardcovers seem plenty to me.
definitely buying Mara tpb. A lot of these new image books are 3.50....beats 3.99 though it would be great if image would start including drm free digital issues with purchase :O

So I read the first 2 volumes of Gotham Central. Taking my own personal bias away I can say they are really good books and an imteresting perspective on the Batman universe. The 2nd volume ends with the
story arc which was the best of the bunch IMO. My problem is I dont know if I want to finish it. There was many parts that just bored me. Does the series have a big payoff or is it a slow burn all the way through?
I would have to purchase the last 2 or find at a library.

Largely? I guess, but plenty of time is spent setting up
Red Crow and Gina
But the story I was MOST interested in reading was Ginas. I don't usually chose to read dark, gritty violent books unless there is a good, complicated female character to keep me interested.
Without giving too much away, besides a lot of back story for the character you are mentioning, the story sets up another major female character (and a few minor ones) in upcoming volumes that have interesting story arcs.
The book actually meanders a lot in subsequent volumes. The focus of the entire series is on Dash, but certain story arcs barely involve him. Sort of like Gaiman's Sandman in a way.
Filthy Slug

That's actually a pretty spot-on analogy, dude. The woman-in-a-fridge event that that poster is misinterpreting entirely is always at the epicenter of everything (or at least, Dash and how its affected him and how things got to that point and what happens after) but the story pulses outwards and you get a great web of interesting characters woven throughout.
Also, you get more Shunka, so you shouldn't stop reading. Because more Shunka is good Shunka.

Thank you for this information. It's very helpful. And, thinking about it, it makes sense. I mean Aaron did such a good job
writing Gina. It would make sense that he wrote other interesting arcs featuring female characters down the line. I mean, it's not a short series. And I imagine Carol has somewhere to go development-wise.

One of the books being released in October is called Peter Parker: Spider-Man, centered around Flashbacks of the good ol' days.
Edit: Also Marvel Solicits!
