OMG can everyone stop quoting the Bii post! I'm on mobile right now and I don't feel like scrolling down for 15 years.

Also, Bii should put his pics in quotes so they don't get auto-quoted. People are too lazy to delete the img urls from the quoted segment on their own.

That's all. Carry on.

Oops, my bad. <3

You guys seen these SDCC variants?

I will probably have to grab both.

They both look rad. The Harley variant is by Conner, yes?

 

[Serpentine]

Saw those, they are sweet variants. I usually don't go in for variants though.

Also guys like every Monkeybrain book is half off for the weekend woooo. i'm buying all of High Crimes and testing out several other things.

some Captain America comics are as well (naturally) but it's only the Marvel NOW stuff and stuff from 02-04

I'm a sucker for Capullo art.

Per Freezasaurus request, I'm wrapping it up this time around. As a matter of fact, double wrapped for double the protection!

Punisher #7

I've started to become uninterested in Edmondson's Punisher. The plot is simple and straight-forward but maybe I'm expecting more than that? Also, I may be the only one to have this problem but I had a difficult time distinguishing Frank from that other guy. The only way I could tell who was who was by their hair (Frank's is slick). :/ As always, the explosions and firefights are so pretty to look at. I'm hanging on until the Black Widow crossover before I decide to take it off my pull list.

Who wants the Marvel digital code to Punisher #7? First person to reply requesting it gets my PM.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Can these massive photos be put in quotes for those of us on mobile? I wish there was a way to collapse it for those of us that want to skip it-almost like a "spoiler" tag so if you wanted to view it you could tap the box.

Incidentally I just read this weeks Captain America and it's so good. I know I'm late to speculation, but isn't it pretty obvious who the dude making a beeline to the Mansion is?

Gah, I'd love to have the Conner harley one.

 

[Hellers]

I'm trying to work my way through a lot of the X-Men from the start. I'm quite enjoying myself. Couple of things I noticed.

Prof X is a complete dick.
Why does Magneto have mental powers?
When did Prof X losing his ability to walk get retconned from Lucifer to Magneto?

I loled at them calling Marvel Girl's telekenesis "Teleportation"

Has Unas the untouchable been used recently?

Yeah I read this last weekend too, was so good! So much I didn't expect. The alien was totally hilarious, that page with Einstein literally made me woop and gasp and laugh at the same time... it's so much fun. Sometimes I don't think Hickman knows where it's going, and other times it's so assured and confident. I'd love to see how Hickman plots his books.

I have never had a hard time grabbing SDCC or NYCC variants of comics. You won't pay out the ass for them either.

If not from there I can always lead you in the right direction. The only time they become hard to find is when you're looking to acquire a copy 6+ months from the event.

Can't wait to hear what you think of MW, we're gonna get a train going on this book

We finally did it, ecoshifting! All of our begging for people to read it finally paid off.

Really pleased that Injustic has switched to weekly releases for the next few months - and that year three will follow immediately afterwards. Really enjoyable series that resulted from the videogame.

Even if the

Still Edmonson writing on the cover isn't it? Guest/rotating artists are par for the course in modern comics btw, hardly anyone can do monthly any more.

But yeah I agree with Bii, I'm not feeling this run so much. I like how grounded it is, but it's pretty slow and light on the surprises. It feels like a b-tier shooter.

Why not just wait for the trades? It's almost finished, might as well wait a bit longer for a nice book with no ads.

 

[Zombine]

When is that trade out? October? My initial thought process was to wait for that and pick the book up again when it's over.

I was talking about picking It up digitally at this point just to catch up.

Well if you're made of money I guess that third trade is a super damn long wait, I wouldn't blame you for double dipping. Is gud.

Well, the first Hardcover is out.

Lol if you popped in more often you'd know.

If you are waiting for paper back with DC's release schedule you are a stronger man than me.

Ah I see what I did. I wrote trade not paperback. Sorry.

People are taking pre-orders on eBay for the Harley Quinn comicon sketch cover. $25. Seriously guys?

Hmm, reading this thread reminded me I'm about a third or so of the way through Bone, but I got caught up reading Real Books Without Pictures Like a Legitimate Adult. It has reminded me that I am super into comics that are just one big adventure that have a distinct beginning and end, though, like Y and Preacher.
Anyone else have good suggestions for comics in that genre? I've read a couple others (Ex Machina, started but didn't enjoy DMZ, etc) but I'm always open for more. I might just end up re-reading Y.

It is, right?

I did try to get into Fear Agent but I always check out mentally a few issues in. Dunno what it is 'cause I'm riding a sci-fi high and I looove Remender but it just doesn't grab me.

Harsh. If it's any consolation, I'm still reading only genre fiction so it's barely legitimate!

Oh, I didn't leave comics. I'm just cheating on them. Is Velvet better than Fatale? I love Brubaker (and Phillips) but after reading the first trade of Fatale I thought it was just okay, nothing like his other work.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I have never had a hard time grabbing SDCC or NYCC variants of comics. You won't pay out the ass for them either.

Yeah they're very easy to find. My shop still had some copies of the SDCC variant of Amazing Spider-Man from a few years back at a reasonable price.

I also have the SDCC variant of Flashpoint #1 in mint condition and I think it's going for like $10 on eBay lol

-Cade: it's still ongoing but Black Science is great!

Velvet is my favorite book on the shelves right now. Think Ian Flemming Bond with an incredibly likable female lead. Brubaker captured the spirit of the era, with art that enhances the narrative. So damn good.

That's gonna be worth so much in 100 years.

Well then. I'll have to check out Velvet and then I can blame the combined pair of you if it doesn't grab me.

Is Black Science a whole lot different than Fear Agent? I assumed they were similar from what I read of both.

Shoot, the Cyclops mention made me realize I'd forgotten about that. Why are there so many comics I need to check out right now

 

[Messi]

I read the first 4 volumes of The Walking Dead today. That is some fun comicbooking. I know it turns to shit eventually bit I'll enjoy the ride. Sure we all know how easily I drop books when they turn bad.

if your not feeling fear agent check out Planetary, or if your really up to it Sandman and its spiritual sequel lucifer.

Also maybe check out Heck by Zander Cannon its like Doc Savage meets Dante's Inferno.

It never turns to shit. Biggest misconception ever.

Issue 1-48 are perfection. One of my favorite stories of all time. 49-90ish introduce a ton of
Amazing characters and is another fun arc. The pre-All Out War arc is incredibly interesting. Negan is a super fun antagonist. All Out War was treated like an "event" but in reality it's just the prelude to the current arc which is just as good as the initial 50 issues so far.

Typed that out fast, spoiler free, but you need to stick with it.

Fear Agent and Black Science ain't really the same. They're spiritually the same, flawed protagonist trying to navigate crazy sci fi fuckups whle attempting to save something, whether it be Earth or his family, but otherwise, Fear Agent is way more Southern drunken space cowboy whose world keeps going to shit, with a huge dose of Mark Twain infused wisdom. Black Science is more modern anarchist dude trying to save his kids and team from dying while bouncing through the multiverse and coming to terms with being an arrogant asshole.

Honestly, read both. They're both excellent and both feature talented artists. Fear Agent made Rick Remender an important writer for me. Black Science, and everything else he does, cements his importance.

That's good to hear. I am enjoying it alot more than the TV show. But Rick is a god damn psychopath compared to his TV counterpart. It's kind of amazing.

Took me a very long time to enjoy the show. My Girlfriend who loves all things Walking Dead told me to stop being an overly critical
douche and just appreciate it for what it is. The books have a lot more depth, and are incredibly violent and fast moving. If you continue you read the books you could storm through the series in about 3 days.
