Are you joking? It was the turning point in Walt's life. It was his "Problem Dog" speech.
Was I watching a different show? "Fly" and "Problem Dog" form a dramaturgical dyad, showing Walt and Jesse, respectively, at their purest state. The show doesn't exist without those episodes. Sure, there are no explosions or cool car chases or shootouts, but when were those ever the point of Breaking Bad?
Breaking Bad is "Fly" and "Problem Dog". It's Mike's story about the battered wife. It's Hank's story about his summer job.
Everything else is just trifles.

18 issues, damn. I think if they had kept it to half that many issues at most it could have kept the pace that the first few had. I really fell like the middle just kind of comes to a screeching halt story wise.

Read Alias volume 1 (It had issues 1 through 15). Quite decent. Need to find volume 2 now.
Started reading Chew from volume 1 again while waiting volume 8.
Waiting for the 20th so I can place my first IST order.

Yeah it is a bit overkill,, but I have really liked it overall so far. And the last few issues have been pretty good. I wish there was more of Doomsday in the beginning, it's the first I've really seen of him and I thought he was pretty badass.

I think it's been good overall too, but I feel like it's not at the same level it was when the crossover started. I feel like there's 4 issues maybe 1 or 2 more in the middle where a whole lot didn't happen. They could have easily been condensed to 1 or 2 issues.
Doomed has been a SHIT TON better than He'l on Earth, and I don't mean for it come off as saying the cross over is bad or anything. I just think less issue would have made it even better.
It's been my one consistent complaint for years now, some stories just get too many issues.

Damn, Chris Samnee.
Holy crap, I've been away on holiday for some time and you have written a crazy number of messages in this and last month's threads!
Anyway, some impressions on what I read after coming back.
Batman: Zero Year - Secret City - I was expecting to be absolutely blown away by it, but that didn't happen. The story was great, especially with how the Red Hood Gang was portrayed as a more modern threat than organized crime. I also loved the end sequence in
- it was really tense. What I didn't like at all was how
Oh, and young Batman that actually gets emotional and sometimes likes to brag/bad mouth his opponents? Awesome.
Six-Gun Gorilla - so I read the first five issues on a train and then left it for two weeks. I came back to it today and was not disappointed. I'm pretty sure this might be my favourite comic ever (OK, so I've only been reading them for the past year and a half, but still) and one of my most beloved stories/things. It's a beautiful and touching story about how much fiction matters in our lives and how
. It's both a valuable life lesson, a meditation on fiction and a little bit of a critique of the neverending, never-changing nature of comics. It's fast paced, filled with fantastic dialogue and awesome lines (
) and expertly crafted. At one point there is a line of dialogue broken into two balloons and it blew my mind how much this actually mattered and how much this little trick helped achieve (
).
I love it love it love it LOVE IT. It's fantastic and you all should read it... please.
I'm totally gonna go all-in on Spurrier's X-Men Legacy next month. And I think it's high time I bought Morrison's Animal Man Omnibus.

the Riddler revealed himself RIGHT AFTER Bruce and Alfred had an emotional, meaningful scene. I hate it when that happens! Give it at least a little bit of time to stick!

everything ends, but the ending is what makes it matter and gives it meaning
"Classic scene." "Unconventional twist!"
"Does that mean.That it never mattered?"

Samnee's one of my favourite artists out there at the moment. Love his work on Daredevil, that comic is top-tier.

Well he is doing the Future's End issues, then the Annual, which continues into JLU. So at least an arc.
This has me totally jazzed!

Nice. I love Kamala, she and Spidey are definitely a fitting team-up that was bound to happen at some point.

Caught up on Earth 2. Tom Taylor was probably whacking off after he wrote that last page. Uuuuuuugggghhhhhh. And there is another akrytptonian on Earth??? Uuuuuuugggghhhhh. There has been absolutely mo characterization or personality added to these characters since this brah took over.

Are we reading the same book?

Yes. Since Taylor took over the book has been nothing but stab, rippy, bloddy, stab stab, oh my hexk how are they killing these, faux estreme, stab, bloddy. It's a mess. No creativity. No passion. Tom Taylor is not ready for this level.

Did you forget to read the pages with Val and Jimmy's exchange (might have been in the last issue), or even Val and Lois's exchange. Or fuck the pure insanity and uncomfortable-ness of an insane Kal, trying to force his parents and a robotic Lois to have a Sunday dinner like nothing ever happened and he wasn't a murdering douche bag any more.

You know you've made it as a character when you get a Spider-Man team-up.
GrandHarrier

Oh, you know, just Harley Quinn competing with an event book. No big deal? The pin up cover is obviously giving it a significant boost because last issue was like 63k.
It's incredibly fitting because she is this generation's Spiderman.
