What was the apparent hold up?
And the Batman New 52 chronology gets even muddier (or Tomasi just said fuck it).

I mean, yo, "Thor gets replaced" is pretty much the most unoriginal Thor story. Two years ago he was Tanarus. At some point he was a frog. Now Thor's a woman. Big fucking deal.
No I'm not mad they canceled Journey Into Mystery Starring Sif.
Okay I'm a little mad.
Okay I'm hella mad.

im readin seconds heah
I have absolutely no idea. At the very least whatever hit it also caused delays in pretty much all their Sonic and Mega Man trade releases that were scheduled around May, including one Mega Man trade that somehow got knocked back to September. If Amazon is to be trusted their whole release schedule has become kind of a mess as a result right now. I think the next two Sonic Universe trades are now scheduled to come out like the same week, with the later one actually coming out earlier.
Best I can figure is the Ken Penders lawsuit thing threw a wrench in the works, since one of the trades of older stuff went from being called "Enerjak Reborn" to "Evil Reborn," ditching the name of the Penders character. But if that's so it's still weird that it would effect the Mega Man stuff too.
Mostly I was just extra angry about this one because I've had the 6th Mega Man trade and the first two Worlds Collide trades sitting around since it was about to first come out, but since the contents of the Mega Man trade actually take place around the crossover I've held off on reading them.

So, apparently the Legion is Jeff Lemire's favorite Superhero team? I knew the man had good taste.

Hopefully it's oversized.
Oh boy can't wait.
Bigger than the "fuck your 5 years nonsense" thing, look at the fucking cover. Look at all the names on it. THE ERA OF COVER CREDITS FOR COLORISTS IS HERE, AND IT STARTS NOW.

Ross has been killing it on weird, creepy faces lately
The fuck is this, invasion of the body snatchers?
Well at $29.99 MSRP for 168 pages, I really hope so!

It's obvious enough what Ross was trying to do with that Archie cover - translate stylized Dan DeCarlo facial expressions into his own photorealistic style - but surely he should be able to figure out that cartoon facial expressions tend to look horrifying on real people. Same deal with that Batman art, which is clearly taking the same approach to Dick Sprang.

Ross' commitment to honoring other styles is admirable, but it just clashes too much with his own. I mean, holy shit Robin has tits
Ugh. Seeing "Burnham" on the cover got me super excited for a moment, but then I realized it was Erik Burnham.
But yeah, not sure how I feel about that either. It could be great fun or it could be really dumb.
...not sure how I feel about this.

....Um...... Well, you see.........
I'll probably start it later.
So did anyone see the Star Wars omnibus in Marvel's October solicits? Looks like they're gearing up for when Dark Horse loses dat license. Maybe Marvel will keep Brian Wood on a Star Wars comic. XD
Wait, we're supposed to actually read the stuff we buy? Dammit, I've been doing it wrong all these years...
I only buy books to put them on my shelf. I like the colors red and blue so it must be good.

I'm too lazy to drive to my local B&N.
You're not hardcore enough to drive to B&N, buy Seconds, and then let it sit on the shelf unread while you post on GAF like the rest of us did.

I don't read any of my comics
I already like her more than Thor.

I read my comics, it's the collected editions / graphic novels that are another story. I mean, I read them, but I acquire them faster than I actually get through them.
The way they're marketing it is that this IS Thor. Not Thor-Thor, but she's not going to be Lady Thor, or Thor Girl (watch it actually BE Thor Girl lololololol). She will be known only as Thor.
And Tony Stark will try to have sex with her.
If it got a dick it make Messi sick.

Once I bought it, I was instructed by my boss aka The Wife, to bring it to her work so she can read it during her breaks. I have to work a rare Wednesday tomorrow so she is going to get my comics tomorrow and bring them to my work.
It looked good from what I skimmed over. I just finished up the Robin arc in Robin/Batgirl Year One and it was really good. Love the style and pretty much the feel good nature of Dick Grayson. He is becoming a favorite.
I love Dick. Best robin, best batman. I could look at Dick all day. Just pages of Dick. Cover to cover Dick.
No wonder you're digging Martha Washington!
If whoever published that was smart, they'd count that as an extra 4 pages and charge you another dollar for the privilege.

I wonder if that is Angela? I mean she will be the oldest sibling right? anyhow I like this people forget Thor use to lose the title of Thor all the time.

That seems to be the theory. And I kinda can't imagine it not being her, though it does leave some story discrepancies concerning
her origin as told in GotG
That's all I ask.

I need some Seconds impressions, guys. I loved SP but I never read Lost at Sea, which I probably should have, but I totally wanna know what people think of Seconds.
