How goos is it if I know nothing about the Rogues or the Flash?

Saga, I've read 3/4 of those and they are wonderful. Saga, Batman and Robin, Sex Crims.
A year to a year and a half I'd say.

I really wouldn't.
But I think you're fine. It's relevant to the thread, and nothing obscene.
In Uncanny Avengers? Time travel / alternate reality hijinks.
Robin Year One
She was revealed to be not dead nearly two years ago. Since then, she's been on Uncanny Avengers.
Janet was brought back at the tail-end of Bendis's Avengers when he was in his "time to put all the toys back in the box" mode
What is that? :O
Honestly, never heard of this, but ignored like everything from Bendis second Avengers and New Avengers Run. Good, liked her.

It was post-AvX, some retcon using Thor's spatial warp and rescuing her from the Microverse in Bendis' Avengers. Whatever, point is she got better.
metal gear solid deluxe edition. i think it has all of mgs1 & 2 comics
I can beat it!
Hey donnie, consider adding Six-Gun Gorilla to that basket
I'll second that. It's a super unique book and very good. Something I definitely need to reread sometime soon to fully grasp. By the time I finished it the first time, my brain was a bit jumbled up trying to fully understand what I'd just experienced and it took me a while to really process it. Haha
Nobody recommended Batman Inc to you, but that was my favorite bit of the Morrison run, so I'll recommend it. To be fair, it may not be quite as satisfying if you haven't read Batman & Son, The Black Glove, or RIP, but I'm sure it'd still be a great read. Plus Chris Burnham art.

Messi pls, you're the soul of ComicsGAF
I read one volume of MGS2 years ago, I only remember the art being amazing. Ashley Wood is the GOAT
Wait, there are MGS comics? Do they retell the story of the games? Do they have similar style to the interactive graphic novels for the PSP?
they retell the games, they are the graphic novels on psp before they were made all fancy

Ooh, yeah. I remember Tim recommending those Ray Fawkes books as well. One Soul in particular sounded very interesting. The one thing that turned me off was the really high price of One Soul since it's published by Oni, but I just checked Amazon's used prices and they're very reasonable, so I might give that a shot sometime.

I... I think I need this.
So... Fraction wrote this?
Hm, interesting. To me the experience was quite different: everything clicked at the very end of the penultimate issue. I can even nail the exact speach bubble(s):
"Does that mean. That it never mattered?"
To be honest though, I DID take a two-week brake between issues #5 and #6
OH MY GOODNESS GUYS. This is my new most-anticipated book. I'm Birdie-tier excited about this.
Troy Little (haven't heard of him previously, but oh well) is adapting Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
DID I NOT JUST ASK FOR THIS JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO!?
Granted, it could easily be a let-down, since it's adapting my favorite author to a different medium, but I'm still really excited for this.

There's a very in-depth breakdown by a Morrison superfan what all those 52 worlds are/could be, along with why he's so keen on the number 8 being important(lay 5 and 2 on top of each and get 8, 8 panel grids for Watchmen issue, etc).
and here's a new CBR interview with Morrison

I'm going to say yes because I read it when I was first heavily getting into comics, and I knew nothing worthwhile about Flash or the Rogues as well. That comic made the Rogues my favorite rogues gallery (as a group). It's a great revenge story about some down and out losers earning their keep in the DCU. There's enough exposition (Johns, yo) for you to understand the reason for the story and what's going on.
One Soul is a really great experimental book. I bought it based off of Tim's recommendation, started reading it one night while overly tired, started dozing a few pages in, and then the book clicked and I sat there 'til it was done. It's really powerful and unconventional, but once you learn how to read it, you really just get lost in that shit, and although not all of the 18 stories told are fully fleshed out, the whole story that the book is trying to tell, and the feelings it invokes are super fucking heavy and impressive.

Yeah, that's why I definitely need to do a re-read. I got the gist of what happened, but that scene and one or two others near the end didn't really click with me and I wasn't quite sure what the significance of some of the dialogue was, even though I knew it was very important stuff happening. I think I may have been overthinking it or something. Haha. Either way, I felt a little bit dumb for not fully comprehending it (especially given my Morrison reading experience
), but nonetheless, I very much enjoyed it and thought it was a great comic.But yeah, probably in a month or so I'll do a reread and hopefully it'll really click with me like it did with you.
"What we've done is a linear, baton-passing thing, because each comic universe reads the comics of the previous universe. They get published in that world. So they're all reading each other's adventures, and this is how they finally learn to defeat the bad guy."
Not sure if that's something we already knew, but that is amazing.

If they returned pre 52 and kept it around I'd go nuts. I've gotten used to 52, but post crisis and pre 52 is my home!

So I got two art prints at SDCC over the weekend (Alex Garner is a cool dude), and I want to hang them up. Would any of you guys know what kinda frames I should get? They're both 12x18

Man, if pre-52 is still around, it's an easy out for DC once they realize the New 52 is shit.

So I'm reading some of the mega batman sale comics. I picked a stand alone issue and it was great!
Batman #251
Writer: Denny O'neal
Artist: Neal Adams
The story is joker is seeking revenge of five members of his former crew and batmans attempt to stop him. It was funny to read Batman acting so casual in dialogue around people. But the real highlight was the last act where the showdown happens in an aquarium which was adapted and used in the second half of the amazing Batman:TAS episode The Joker Fish.
It was a great read and I'm glad I got to read it

Ashley Wood is the artist, the guy that did Portable Ops cutscenes, and I think Peace Walker? I actually have a few issues.
They're releasing the collected volume soon I believe. This week even?
I can't be the only one who thinks all of this is just amazing.
