Anyone got a spare $120 million knocking about? I really want Hellboy 3.

hey, Power Up #1 by Kate Leth/Matt Cummings was pretty fun, though mostly setup. It's only a 6-issue mini so for now, i'm in for all of it. i imagine if you like other Boom Box stuff this'll be up your alley

Cable and Deadpool.
What pushes that ahead of other books like Deadpool Classic or the Joe Kelly omnibus? I haven't followed the character since I was like 5 years old.

there's one thing in the title of that book that isn't in the other ones, bro

I'd go with Joe Kelly, personally. That's my favorite Deadpool run and is considered the classic take on the character.

Why's he keeping his hand on an automatic transmission stick?
Why's he driving in the middle of the bloody road?
Why's he closing his eyes all the time?
It all makes sense now. Why would I pay money for one character when I could pay the same amount for two?

We Are Robin #2 was good. Not as good as issue 1, IMO, but still good; kind of a large cast getting introduced all at once, there's gonna be some teething issues. Still, the art remained very much on point, the story is interesting, and the characters (while, again, not fully realized) are still very entertaining. Y'all better not sleep on this one.
Grayson #10. I am confused. The way this whole "spykiller" plot line is playing out confuses me. So... Dick thought it was Agent 1, but

Agent 1 apparently disagrees, and now Dick's off to Italy to rescue him? What? And the Spyder... thing... only speaks in metaphors about actual spiders? The Lex Luthor bit was great, though.

Cyborg was okay. Looks like they're doing something similar to what they've done with GA, BC, etc; adding some character-specific lore. The
Great art all around. Character drama is solid too.
But... I dunno. It's missing something.
Tekbreakers and whatever the other guys were called looked interesting.

No Marvel love?
So, I read some stuff. Off the top of my head:
The Ghostbusters: Mass Hysteria omnibus. Definitely felt weaker than the last one. Still had some solid enough stuff and wasn't BAD, but it kind of bugged me that it was effectively leading up to a big old
. Also, someone mentioned the "sexy" outfits earlier, and maybe I'm just too desensitized from other comics, but those were just plain shorts. Not even like short shorts. It's of course demeaning and all that like they were saying in the comics that they were getting forced into different outfits... But yeah, didn't seem all that sexed up to me.
Ironically, TMNT/Ghostbusters felt like a better capstone to the Ghostbusters run to me (though they're apparently reviving it again). Totally fanfic-y but nicely done, I found it enjoyable.
TMNT volume 11. Holy crap, that ending with
. And yeah, nice volume as always.
And Shutter volume 2... I really want volume 3 to not be so far away. Really clicked for me, a lot more than volume 1.

"hey look, it's like the first movie! It's got Gozer and stuff!" arc rather than doing its own thing. And they already kind of had that be a big thing in the first part anyway, so it feels like a big old waste.

The only SW tie-in I'm reading is Infinity Gauntlet so there's nothing I want today. I am interested in E for Extinction but the $5 pricetag on the first issue turned me off.
It's 100% definitely going in my next IST order whenever that may be..
Oh man. That arc was just incredible. So much horror and suspense in that Pentagon stuff.
Whaaat. That's awesome.
Kitty and Star Lord, no?
I have never seen it. Why do you think I should get it?

I don't like Humphries :/
It's about "a group of sexy, deadly female ninjas"
Edit: Just thinking about that makes me want to read more of Big Damn Sin City.

I can see that. Not a fan either but I have to see how stupid this relationship can go.
This is relevant to my interests.
What company makes it ?
I suspected it might be.
It's Dark Horse. So it's collected in a gorgeous, cheap, Library Edition hardcover.
Dark horse hardbacks are no joke. I guess I will get this. Is it on IST?
Hey whatsinaname, you up for a Simonson's Orion mini-reading-club this weekend? This weekend comics will happen for me. And I want to crack open my Orion omnibus.
For real. I'll pretty much buy any Library Edition Dark Horse puts out. They're so nice. And so cheap. Like, that Goon LE has an MSRP of $40! For nearly 500 pages! That's insane.
Yeah, it's on IST.

Sure. How many issues are you planning to read?
The backup stories from the issues have been moved to the end of the Omnibus, so I plan to follow the reading order Simonson posted on facebook.

that attitude of his is so unappealing. i mean, come on dude. you made the first one, you know what happened. we're adults. just say it's not going to happen. don't hold it hostage in some sad promo campaign.
How did that happen? I thought they get new releases day of.

I've got a cheap week too. Which is good because that Death Vigil litho is $20.
I imagine ship date changed and somebody forgot to follow it up.
Cheap week here too, which is good because I'm going to blow a bunch on a huge chunk of Fables after payday.

I need to get off IST and ya'll need to stop recommending books that I will inevitably go look for on there.
Sweet! Not really sure. I don't have any big plans on Saturday or Sunday, so basically as many issues as I can read before my interest wanes. Haha. I'm going to shoot for 10 issues on both days, but I'm guessing that's super optimistic.
I don't mind at all if you read way more or way less than me, I just think it'd be fun to both be reading the same series at the same time!
And yeah, I plan to read the backup stories in the correct order as well. Gonna do a double bookmark thing I think. Haha
Also, just to be sure I'm reading that list correctly, the backup stories don't start until the 3rd issue, right?
Just add them all to your wishlist! My wishlist is MILES long by now.
Yep, really annoyed by this! Haven't had to go to a comic shop in almost a year, and I'm making the long trek today so I can pick this up.
