Hell, he couldn't even get Hourman's name right as the inventor of Miraclo. I'd be willing to bet that his first few issues (which weren't half bad) were written from an outline or Robinson's notes, because starting with that annual the book sank like a rock.

Spider Man 2099 is amazing and you should buy it immediately.
edit: yes I read it. No, not a joke.
Whats the verdict on Original Sin: Thor and Loki #1, I am hesitant.
Cheska, here is the Halloween variant for Catwoman
Oh My GOD! That is just so perfect
It just keeps getting better

Thoughts on Grayson #1:
(I don't think this image is particularly spoilery)
Totally on board with this series despite being somewhat skeptical when it was first announced. The tone of the issue was great and the teasing and foreshadowing was very well done. Excited for the next issue!

So excited. I'm reading through it much quicker than I read most other comics. It's just so gripping.

Spider-Man 2099 #1, or, How Miguel O'Hara Got His Shock Back
This book is legit, guys. It makes such a difference to have PAD back writing Miguel. Dan Slott did not know how the hell to write this character...what makes him special, what makes him stand out while still maintaining that Spidey core. PAD gets it. There are a dozen perfect exchanges of dialogue I could post to illustrate this, but I don't want to ruin what is a truly stellar opening act. First villain is pretty cool, too, and it feels like this is definitely going to be an important book for the Spider-Man cast. Oh yeah, and that art...that lovely, kinetic art, brought me back to the old series. Buy this book.
We have a new Superior S-Man: his name is Miguel. Call him Mike.

She gets a lifetime pass for creating Longshot, though. And Typhoid Mary.

So who do you think is ghost writing Injustice for him then? Because that series is amazing.

Agreed. Writing is vastly better. I don't hate slott or anything, but this is better than Superior and Amazing by a fair margin so far.
Oh, and the GOTG cameo in Avengers #32 I did not see coming. great week to pick up marvel books.
Did anyone else pick up Stokoe's "Wonton Soup" omnibus? It's like some insane cross between Star Wars, Iron Chef, and Sharknife. It's been a long time since I've had so much fun reading a new book, and I can't recommend it enough (though as a caveat, I've just finished book 1, so I guess there's always the possibility that book 2 is awful, but I doubt it).
Glad to hear it's so good! I love the Stokoe stuff I've read/seen, but I hadn't heard anything about Wonton Soup so I didn't know whether or not people liked it. I'll definitely have to pick it up sometime!

Just finished reading, and I gotta agree with pretty much everything you said.
I had a huge grin throughout the whole issue, PAD really nailed it. The dialogue was on-point and it was a huge joy to read. Between this and Yost writing Kaine in New Warriors, I don't feel guilty about dropping Amazing Spider-Man (and I've enjoyed Slott's work on Amazing/Superior). This book is legit.
Just bought it. Love me some dick.

While Grayson has solidified a place on my pull, after reading New Suicide Squad it will be on a trial period. If was alright.
Any Harley x Jokers Daughter drama?

Damn, this week's Avengers fucked my mind super hard.
I like the momentum both books have gained and how some stuff is starting to fall into place. Super curious to see how Hickman will tie things up.
I bought the first 6 (IIRC) issues that were available, read them and thought it was good but nothing definitive. That's when I realized it wasn't a mini and 80% of the series was missing.

DC/Comixology really need to hurry the fuck up getting the rest up digitally, as my comic collection has left this material plane.

A little. I think we have seen most of it in previews. I'm really interested in trying out the New Teen Titans book also. Think only one can win a spot on my pull though. I'll give each a few issues and decide.

Let's be honest with ourselves here. The Joker's Daughter in general is just awful. Stop trying to make her a thing DC.

Going to second this. Earth 2 has continued to be interesting and a rock solid read. It's a shame Nicola is leaving it though, her artwork is always amazing. Hopefully they're putting her on something awesome.
I'm also jealous of all the folks with their books already while I'm stuck at work. I want some Dick too.

Guys, at only 2 issues, I'm completely infatuated by Infinity Man and the Forever People. Go buy it and support Dan D......errrr Jack Kirby's legacy. No serious, Didio and Giffen are writing something great here.
Tom Grummetts pencils on this issue were fantastic.

Yeah, this issue was wild.
Well, it's been a few pages since we've had some photos, so I figured I'd take a couple size comparison photos of Big Damn Sin City, Colossal Conan, and Fear Agent Library Edition just for fun:
And then I took a few quick photos of the great art in Unknown Soldier:

This book is so good, even the little changes they're making to the characters and their origins work really well.

how are you supposed to read those
I've found that sitting in a reclining chair with my knees up and the book propped up by my stomach and leaning against my legs makes for a pretty comfortable reading position, even with a massive book like that.
I have clearly and expertly illustrated what I am talking about:

The binding looks fine, so if they lay flat they should be good despite weighing roughly a thousand pounds. Unlike that fuckin NTT omnibus i have, with it's shit glued binding

The Walking Dead #129 was pretty good.
Here is a non-spoiler panel of the issue of Negan colored by a user from the Roamers and Lurkers forum.

According to this issues Letter Hacks, we will be getting 2 issues in October. Fucking Stoked!
As soon as Magna was introduced, I fucking knew she would be the reason Negan escapes. She's an idiot. Hopefully Kirkman doesn't go this route.

I really enjoyed her one shot and it made her an interesting character at least. Not solo book tier but still good.

Yeah. Conan lays almost completely flat, and Sin City looks to have the exact same binding, so it should as well.
But yeah, a thousand pounds is a pretty good rough estimate.
Haha. I'll see what I can do.
I also missed it and I kind of think it was for the best!

Alberto Ponticelli is a fucking hidden gem, man. Dude does incredible work, and he adapts his style to the work really well. His run on Frankenstein was so damn great.
I don't see what you're on about. My illustration is painstakingly life-like and clear.
It's obvious that I'm simply reading a solid red book.
And that my second arm is a long ways down my body from my other arm.
So true! Also check out the Villain's Month Black Hand issue of Green Lantern because he drew it.
I miss Frankenstein...
