Superman books?
Secret Identity is amazing
I also enjoy For All seasons, red son, brainiac trade, secret origin is pretty good too but it's like for all season and rebelling his early years.

I'm looking for noir stuff, after ingesting a bunch of Brubaker (Velvet, The Fade Out, Cap). Besides the more obvious stuff I should look at (Criminal, Fatale) I was looking at this miniseries Hit: 1955 by Bryan Carlson. Anyone read it? It's only $4 on CMX, but I think I would go with TPB.

Never read A Death in the Family. Arkham Knight made me want to read it. I bought it without even asking for reviews. Is it a good read?

It's obvious to me now, yeah. I feel really, really dumb for not catching that before.

Don't worry dude lol. At least you aren't Zombeen right?
If it is the last thing I do, I will get Kipp to embrace the digital life.

It's alright. It throws you into the fray with some plot points that happened before it. I think every bat fan should at least read it once.
I'd love it if I could get into digital. Cheaper and more convenient. For some reason reading on a tablet just doesn't do it for me though.
Though to be fair, at the moment reading from a physical book doesn't do it for me either. Lol. But I did have that success with Hellboy yesterday!
That would be tragic.
I find that the libray edition versions of hellboy are just too big for me to enjoy the reading experience. I think Image two volume hardcovers are the perfect size.

Batgirl (of Burnside) vol 1: That was actually decent. The first couple of issues made it seem like a "let's put in references and problems the 17-25 target reader demographic might identify with" book. But with Dinah being written as the straight man and the whole arc being an "old me" vs "new me" reconciliation thing, it turned out ok. And I really like the art.
Parker! each volume is a complete standalone story and all of them are great.

Man, look at this "The Revenant" trailer! Directed/shot by the guys who just won Best Picture/Director/Screenplay/Cinematography for Birdman. Big thrilling adventure film. Manly beard, big acting. This is Leo's year, I can feel it.
And the award for best Sound Mixing goes to...

Snyder and Lemire are doing a book together? I didnt know that
Also, did anyone read The Divine? I've been hearing good things
Going through the book, you can see how his artwork influenced others. Walt Simonson wrote the intro to the book and the more I read of the book, the more I see how Simonson was influenced by Toppi
looks amazing. but when are del toro/cuaron/inarratu going to actually put mexicans in their hollywood movies?

Eventually he is going to win that pity award.
Gotta die first
Denzel didn't have to die before they gave him one. Even though he deserved one for a better film than training day.
Edit: I realize that reads like I am shitting on Training Day. I am not. Its a good movie that he gives a great preformance in. But he has been a better lead in better movies.

Gleeson and Hardy in this as well. Should be good.
If you take a look at what he's been up to lately one might be able to argue that he's already dead.

More 80s comic stuff that didn't pan out, a house ad for Frank Miller doing a Dr. Strange run with Roger Stern
On sale every 60 days! Bimonthlies, do they even do those anymore? On purpose, I mean.

Awwww man, that isnt fair. Denzel is awesome.
Hah. Saw this and was like "Frank Miller drew Dr. Strange!?" and got excited and googled it only to find that bizarrely, he never ended up doing the art for Dr. Strange.

Apparently, he was wrapped up in working on a James Bond adaptation, so they got the also-awesome Marshal Rogers to do a year's worth of issues instead, to stay ahead of deadlines. The James Bond thing didn't happen(Howard Chaykin ended up doing that), but by the time space on Strange opened up again, Miller was dead set on writing/drawing Daredevil, so that never happen.
Could have been dope, but I wouldn't trade Miller's DD for anything. And its not like Stern got the bad end of the deal, since Strange ended up with a pretty killer row of artists like Marshall Rogers, Michael Golden, Paul Smith, Mike Mignola on that Strange/Doom graphic novel, etc.
Yup, it's a graphic novel, announced at January's Image Expo. It was announced for a November release. Some details.

Is that New 52 Supergirl series any good? It was one of the rare New 52 books to hold on to a creative team for a long time, which I'm normally attracted to, but considering some of the crap editorial was up to at that time, it might be bad that creators were playing ball with them.

Putting it on the list, thanks.
Also, what's up with Fatale never getting a second deluxe HC? It's been a year since it finished. Pretty lame.
I read the final arc with lupachino and I thought the story was fun and it was a great starting point the art was incredible. It felt like the start of something so it came out of left field that it was the end of the series. I think it came out in trade just this past week. You should check it out.

It's pretty forgettable, they should do a modern retelling of how he died. The first part is alright, it's what happens after Jason dies that's terrible.

Black Panther and Batman teaming up

Where's that MISTAKE pokemon meme when you need it....
Oh comics can be incredibly violent at times. Especially when you step outside of Marvel and DC
Transformers fucked my mind when I first read Last Stand of the Wreckers.

dont do it! age of ultron is terrible! And I say that as a fan of Bendis's work. Civil War is meh to bad Mark Millar work.
Read Mark Millar's Ultimates, Bendis's Ultimate Spider-Man or Daredevil and Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four

Like Messi said, the last arc was pretty solid. I didn't read anything else but I thought that was good.
Yeah they can get brutal, Marvel and DC are generally pretty tame in comparison to some of the other publishers.
You're probably better off skipping AoU honestly, it was pretty crummy. I don't like Civil War either. In general a lot of Marvel event books are not very good, you'd probably be better off just reading the regular ongoings and all that.
And I grabbed the first BPRD Plague of Frogs book today. Excited to start it!
The movies are causing this. You can't fight it.

I honestly haven't even seen the age of ultron movie haha. This is really my first venture into comics. This is all pretty new to me. So can't say I really know good from bad yet haha. But I'll say I'm enjoying the experience so far
Well we can give you some books to read so that you can get a good idea of what good Marvel looks like.
Mark Waids Daredevil is really good for example. If you want some Spider-Man Bendis Ultimate Spider-Man is really good.

I've been going through Sandman since it was on sale, and I have to say it didn't really click with me at first. I just got to #13, where he meets up with that guy every 100 years in a bar. Best one so far. I don't know if it's a one-shot or if he will come back, but that's the kind of stuff I love.

It sort of depresses me that Age of Ultron and Civil War sell really well as collections to this day. Age of Ultron outsold Rage of Ultron in may and Civil War was 5th biggest selling collection in May. Neither of those are very good entries for people curious into comics
BrightLightLava, he comes back.
BTW I've been raving about Sergio Toppi. He would have been absolutely amazing for an issue of Sandman.
