Are we talking about Fraction / Aja Hawkeye or All-New Hawkeye and whoever is working on that? Because man, AN is just nowhere near as good.

Then yes, Fraction/Aja Hawkeye is fantastic. I never thought I would find myself enjoying a Hawkeye solo book of all things, but between the tone of the book really works.

I still can't believe 22 is coming out next week. I probably won't until after I read it.

Marvel probably can't wait. They can finally release the omnibus now.

I got that email from amazon last month basically shrugging and saying they had no idea when it was coming out. I had forgotten when I'd order the book it was so long ago.

Hey, Amazon put up the Funimation version of Evangelion 3.0 on Blu-ray like, two years ago and that thing is still in production hell.

I'm my friend group's hype man for Super Hero movies. For Age of Ultron I did a count down with different posters and merch that I have for Ant Man I made a brief primer:
I'm sending one a day between now and Thursday. Anything obviously wrong?

What do I need to read beforehand? Seems like Avengers Vs. X-Men is important. Though I also don't want to fall down the continuity rabbit hole a this point.

That's important for why people are mad at Cyclops, but All-New X-Men covers enough of it that you'd probably be fine without too much back story.

I forgot that was so soon. Will try to catch it on Friday night though.
Really anything after AvX can be read starting at issue 1 so I wouldn't worry about it too much. I haven't read it but you should be able to just start ANXM from the beginning if you're interested.
Yeah AvX is importa-- oh... in that case, I recommend Daredevil by Mark Waid and Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron. I'll think of some more stuff.
But almost everything after AvX went through a new status quo so, you're good with anything that's recommend here.

hey, the discount went up the more you bought and I was already planning on buying Super Mutant Academy after flipping through it, but i ain't gonna turn down a discount, so we just combined those purchases for 4 books = 40%.
and that was the first time we even stopped at the D+Q booth, fuckers!
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that lmao. She-Hulk and Catwoman cover artist Kevin Wada just happened to be the dude to take the pic

You can get away just fine with reading the Bendis runs on Uncanny X-Men and All-New X-Men. They go hand-in-hand for the first story arc or two, but kind of diverge thereafter. Still worth reading both, IMO.
Just deleted every Ultimate book from my MU queue, except Spidey which I started and stopped some months ago. Went from 225 to 167 books in the library...feels good
Of course that is still a stupid backlog because thats still 167 DIFFERENT SERIES, not just 167 issues, but still, baby steps

Hahaha. That picture is PERFECT.
And lol. I still love the fact that we just asked Kevin Wada to take our photo. I just thought it was some random dude and either you or Bii were like "Hey man, could you take this photo for us?"
And then after you were like "Kevin Wada just took our photo."
This is why SDCC is the best.
Are there pictures of Liefelds feets? Does they look like his drawings?
Did he killed of Tims dad? Stuff was heartbreaking, espescially when later Bruce became a shitty asshole under Morrision and fired him suddenly as Robin.

I actually never saw his feet... Suspicious...

What?
Oh wow, was that really him? I just thought it was some random dudes hanging by the wall. I also told his friend, in a nice way, to move so we could take a picture with the backdrop, haha.
Liefeld was a nice dude; very enthusiastic about taking a pic. As soon as I asked him, he started to wrap his arm around me and I had to awkwardly tell him that there are two others I wanted to be in the photo. ._.

I'd be stoked to meet Liefeld.
I'm going to throw this out there but Kipp had almost done something worse than spending no money at all. He was just going to give it away! At the Panini and Funimation booth, they were giving out these Golden Frieza promo cards for free. On eBay, they're selling for ~$20 each. So we went to the Panini booth and grabbed our free cards and Kipp hands me his and says he doesn't want it. 
I tried to give it back (I have four already) but he didn't want it.
Tim, I tried looking for the Krypto plush but every booth I went to was sold out of it.

If Comic-gaf does a SDCC meet-up next year I will try to get a ticket. I am sure my friend's boss can get me one.
I don't know Kaep, what if we do meet and everyone else is a Hickman fan? How will you handle it?

I feel like Red Hood and Arsenal is the product of DC wanting to do something with these two characters but can't justify solo series for some reason, so they stuck them together.
They still don't seem to know what to do with them.

Aside from Under the Red Hood? I dunno. I picked up the first trade of Red Hood and the Outlaws because of him, and I liked where they were going with him, but I didn't care for Arsenal in that book. Not only that, but Starfire didn't fit at all, and over all the book bored me (though I've been told it gets better after Lobdell got a hold of it). The Future's End was a good Jason story, if there ever was one.
So then I snagged RHaA, and I don't understand. Now it's light-hearted and goofy. They make fun of Jason for being angsty in that book, but he isn't being angsty in that book. It's just Arsenal being a goofball and Jason going "but work tho" and that's it.
It's fucking weird.
I'd like something good to be done with Jason, because he interests me as a character and they could go to really unique places with him. He could be a very different character from the other Bat family members, and yet they just don't seem to know what to do with him.
Jason's kind of always been...there.
BKatastrophe

I'll be honest, I haven't read enough Bat books to know much about Jason's chemistry with the family. I know he hates Dick because he always felt like he was in Dick's shadow, and resents Tim because Tim took his spot. How does he feel towards Damien? Like, all I know about Jason is that he's just an angry motherfucker.
I really liked the whole "mystic assassin" thing they were going for and I thought it was rather unique compared to the rest of the Bat family. Too bad it had to happen in a book with a mediocre opening.
Who else follows that trend?

Isn't it different enough that he isn't fueled by anger and grudges anymore and has made peace with Bruce and the Bat family?
BKatastrophe

Sure, but now he feels just sort of there by comparison. Anger was sort of his thing, I feel like. Then again like I said, I haven't read enough Bat books to know otherwise.

Kipp what are you doing. Kipp there are DBZ players who want to throw money at you for that card.
Love that Liefeld group shot. Amazing.
