Thoughts about things I read this week:
Sex Criminals 6
Pretty good. Art in this issue was really good, but it was fascinating watching John and Suzie's relationship become... tedious. And not only that, but watch John fall apart. Fraction did a pretty good job in letting John's disorders shine through, be funny, but not be a joke. I really liked the ending when for a moment, all the life came back to John in his rage. Great moment.
Southern Bastards 3
This comic should be a television show on HBO. That's how good it is. It'd be like... Emmy-winning. I think I've said a bunch on the art before, but it is glorious. This is a very tried-and-true story, but Aaron tells it so, so well. Earl is a fascinating protagonist... basically Raylan Givens if he never became a cop and went to war instead. If the end of the issue is any indication, things are about to get far more nastier than I had thought.
Who else believes that
My face at the end:
Punisher 8
Good finale to the two-parter and nicely sets up the next storyline and crossover with Black Widow. Can't wait to see these two titles crossover cause I love them a ton. The guest artist was quite good.
My face at the end:
Black Widow 8
You'd think Bucky and Black Widow would have some fiery sexual tension, but no such luck. Still, lovely art, pretty fun issue. Bucky and Widow would make a great pair, so it was a bit odd to read that she has
? I did like him
My face at the end:
Moon Knight 5
So. Goddamn. Good. I am already pre-enraged at Wood for taking over from Warren Fucking Ellis cause this shit is just too good. It scratches an itch that Ellis' abandoned series 'Fell' scratched. This was Moon Knight at his utmost fucking badass. Loved it.
Then holy shit at the last page that was fucking awesome.
FUCK YOU WOOD.

Earl's wife is dead and he's basically having a breakdown and still thinks she's alive? And all of his rage at the denizens of Craw is his emotional release?

This version of Frank is definitely the most human of any version of Frank I've seen in a long-ass time. He's more like a regular man thrust into this role, not a grim avenger of the dead. It's refreshing, to be honest. I like this version of Frank. They show him being tactical, showing fear, being a soldier; sacrificing himself to save a fellow soldier
I wonder who Crossbones is working for. Probably the guy that Widow is chasing in her story.

amnesia regarding her relationship with him
ushering her out then getting pissed at the guys who shot his ex.
Also, did the boss of Crossbones kidnap Isaiah?

That moment at the end with Scarlet and Moon Knight's mask totally screamed Watchmen, but like a nicer version of it.
Then holy shit at the last page that was fucking awesome.
FUCK YOU WOOD.
Revolution was on ABC, doubt that he could have said the "F" word in a show on ABC.
pffft, Moon Knight is good and you know it

JESUS H CHRIST THE ENDING OF THIS WEEKS THOR.
That happened in the Broken Arrow/Widow Hunt arc in his solo series.
That's pretty silly considering she straight up says she's older than that in this issue and one of the main conceits of the 10-issue Dimension Z arc is that time is sped up there (i.e. there's been a literal 10+ year timeskip in the book itself).

Isn't that the same excuse H-manga creators use for really young-looking characters?

I do not know what that is or when it happened.
Man, Natasha is so depressing. God, just go on a date with Bucky and have fun, girl. You are so melancholic.
She's looked like a grown woman since like issue 4

Ha. Now Bucky is all like "Go, Natasha. My robot arm gives me all the love that I need. It even has vibration function."
I don't know how I feel about Black Widow these days. The art is great, but I always feel like the story is rushed from point A to point B.

hey man if the creator says she's actually a 3000 year old demon i guess she's just 3000 years old!
no idea if the cap stuff is like that shit
Here's the two trades with the arc showing why she doesn't remember.

Yeah, but if a lady were 3,000 years old, you figure she would at least look older than 12.

I made it a few issues into the new Unwritten: Apocalypse series. But honestly, what really killed my interest was the Fables crossover. It pretty much caused the series to lose all the momentum it picked up.
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
I still buy every floppy. The series is damn good, but it definitely does not read well from floppy to floppy anymore. It's about to be over though, so no point in me stopping. The overall plot only shifts slightly towards the end, but it's always fairly consistent
Tommy vs. Pullman
Actually, looking it up, you're at the point where there are one-shot in-between issues that are fucking great, so keep going, meng.
Fables needs to end. Now. It's shocking to see that series dragged on for an extra 70 issues, especially when they're fucking awfully mediocre.
I still have the first two volumes on my shelf unread.
It's ending in 10 issues but I agree, the latter half is horrible. The most recent issue (#142) seems like it's leading to a promising/entertaining way to end the series.

Hey Bii, are you buying that ArtFX+ Grey Hulk? I'm trying to figure out if they charge when you place the order, or when the figure ships. There's a note on the item page that says they reserve the right to charge you up to 60 days before the item ships, but they don't make it clear one way or the other.
I've no idea. I'm probably going to buy it at the con. I'd rather not spend the additional $15 on shipping.

i normally don't like statues that aren't based on comic artwork, but this one seems decent.
Oooooh! I like Brubaker, I like Lark, and l like both of those characters. I feel like this was meant to be.

Actually, that one is based on a piece of Jim Lee art if I'm not mistaken. When it was initially announced, there was no sculpt, so they only had the artwork to show.

I'm still undecided on him. I want him, but $100 is a decent bit of money. Still, he's a good size for the price.
Cheska would have already bought it by now.
And all it cost you was $36 before you got to the good stuff.
Jeez...Jim Lee Art of War WW is preeeeetty cheap on Amazon now.

The Butch Guice/Bettie Breitweiser parts are great too - especially the beginning of issue 10. He draws an amazing classic styled Widow.

The Batman is being reissued (again) in November alongside the Wonder Woman statue. This will be Batman's third release if you count the original blue version.
First customer review is hilarious.

damn, i forgot about Fell...Ellis' own Battle Chasers. Bendis is slowly pulling the same with Scarlet, that book needs to get going again
speaking of: anyone know if Usagi Yojimbo is gonna start up again?
we're talking about the ongoing, right? cause i'm really not a fan of the way Santolouco makes them look like giant thumbs with bandanas (and the eyeholes, ugh...i hate that shit even on wolverine with some artists)
haha seriously

Giant green thumbs? AHHHH CAN'T UNSEE!
Still, I don't mind the art. I quite like it, it's just stylized is all. Though it's worth mentioning that the arc after Cityfall had art by Ross Campbell, who also did Glory and Wet Moon. He's another fellow from my "Favorite Artists" list. He does very well drawing all kinds of body types instead of just "healthy attractive male" and "healthy attractive female". Wish he was on the book longer than just four issues.
you're right. I think i might actually try to get this one if dcbs has it for pre-order. Does anyone know if this has hit dcbs already?

that's the thing though, it's just the turtles themselves. the humans, other animal characters, i think he draws great - shredder looks absolutely badass by me. it's just the thumbheads!

Not yet. I'm importing, and I'm not getting her until she comes out in (late) November. Meaning she'll be a December release in the US. You still have time.
O______O i'm seeing u.s. release dates from dec, jan, and feb 2015.

Been out all night, any word on the free infinite comic with Rocket Raccoon? I don't typically redeem my digital codes so I'd just like to know
New Warriors was solid this week. I have a feeling the next one is gonna be better

There's only one statue I've ever truly wanted, and it still bothers me that I passed it up... especially since I'd need to spend a dumb amount of money to get my hands on it now a days.
edit - If anyone has no need of their digital code for Rocket Raccoon #1, I'll happily buy it. Just send me a PM!

It was a bullshit move by Ed Brubaker after Widow Hunt (in the old Winter Soldier series, may it come back ASAP) where Natasha was brainwashed by an insane former Russian operative Bucky trained during the Cold War, and then for some stupid reason Buck didn't want to bring her memory back (Bru did it just to cause pointless man-pain). No writers have had the balls to fix it yet. I really hope Edmondson goes somewhere with BuckyNat again, because those two are hands down one of the best couples/retcons that the MCU ever had/has. I want them to to date and have fun again too, they were doing that regularly a couple years ago....
If you like the two, I highly recommend reading issues of Brubaker's "Captain America and Bucky" from his run, which focus on Winter Soldier's time in the Red Room with Widow, and how he found solace in her despite being molded into a weapon. It also covers how Buck was trained by SAS as Cap's partner and their time at Camp Leigh together. Also, read Winter Soldier by both Brubaker (it's great aside from the bitter ending of his run) and especially Latour/Klein's amazing brief run to cap it off (fantastic "villain" with serious MGS vibes). 19 issues of WS, much better than The Bitter March miniseries.

I totally forgot that the Rocket Raccoon novel by Dan Abnett was coming out so soon. It comes out in like two weeks! So excited for that and the Guardians 3000 series later this year.

The Winter Soldier x Metal Gear Solid sounds awesome
Well it's just my personal impressions haha, but yeah there is some clear influences in there (which is definitely awesome).
Child soldiers, PMCs, double agents, blacksite military compounds, WMDs, etc, though a lot is told through flashbacks.
