So, latest IST order: Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus 2, Mars Attacks IDW, Infestation Omnibus, Spiderman and the Xmen, and Thanos Imperative. Also, I just realized that I maaaaaay have been intending to pick up the Kabuki Library Edition to give a try and maaaaaaay have failed to do so because I never put it in my wishlist on IST. Correcting that now so it has a better chance next time...

Is there any good Tim Drake stuff in New 52? I miss Yost's then Nicieza's Red Robin book.
Also is the wiki right? Was he never Robin in New 52? That seems dumb.

No, that's wrong.
At least, I think it is. He spent time living with Bruce and Alfred, at least, so if he wasn't a Robin I'm deeply confused.

Damn, speaking of Cary Nord today, he guested for Unity #0 with Jose Villarubia and that shit was masterful. Also, Villarubia is a fellow Spaniard!
I swear, this is one of the things that makes me want to punch a wall. In one book, there's a photo of Tim in the Robin costume (I forget which book but it was very early Nu52); then, they say he went straight to Red Robin. How the fuck can they not get this straight?

Started Hellboy: The Island and the dialogue here is great. "Don't mess with me, lady. I've been drinking with skeletons"
I'd read more but I'm exhausted

It's Timm, of course he tried to sneak some in.

Finished Avengers vs X-Men as well as the epilogue Consequences. Going to start reading Captain Marvel and All New X-Men. Though I think I might read First Class beforehand to get a better foundation. The action and stakes in Avengers vs X-Men were so silly, I didn't even realize that
until Logan said so afterwards.
Xavier died
Fucking Hawkeye was burned alive and they hand waved that shit.

Mmmmmm. A triple-dose of mediocre.
Trying to turn people away new readers freeza? If she wants Captain Marvel then Kelly Sues work is perfectly fine and some people, myself included love it.
Oh and don't act like you don't pull some mediocre books.

I'm kidding, Messi.
I'm not kidding.
Hey, I dropped Batgirl! Progress!
Read the first Bitch Planet issue and hated it. I also hated Pretty Deadly. Maybe her creator owned work is not for me.
I love how she writes Carol and her team in Captain Marvel.

Pretty Deadly seemed like it would go somewhere at first, but it didn't hold my attention beyond issue 2. Amyway, I think Bitch Planet is a pretty interesting book, and the essays at the end of each issue are pretty enlightening.

I'm aware Captain Marvel isn't praised too highly around here.
Other than me. I love it. Incredible art in the second two trades and fun stories about Carol doing heroic things. Also big on heart if you connect with her crew.

It's..... not Batwoman-in-outer-space bad. But it didn't keep me interested. I wanted to like it, because I really dig the character, but I wasn't feeling it.

Whoa totally forgot that comic existed. It's been so long since the last issue.

I liked it.
The quality of the first run's art was all over the place, though.
Oh man, who was the one who drew her with that crazy space mohawk?
I wish she was joking. This arc, the last arc of Batwoman is almost insultingly bad. Don't even waste time on it.

It was a mess the moment they wrote that
rapey vampire
That wasn't great but this was much worse. At least that stuff was somewhat in the same vein as the rest of the book. The space stuff was like wat.
I think this makes sense somehow... And as a big fan of Batmans Red Rain Trilogy, I am really looking forward for Main Universe Vampire Batcharacters

We say it over and over but it bears repeating - Batwoman ended when Blackman and Williams left the book. For some reason DC kept releasing Batwoman issues for a while after that, but no one knows what that craziness was all about.
But they did kinda retcon that, after a fashion.
I like some of that stuff, but I will say it gets progressively worse on a steep decline. I had no problems with the vampire stuff, it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible imo. Just nowhere close to blackmans stuff. NOWHERE.
YESSSS. In general, those last 10 issues or so are just RELENTLESS. Sooo good.
Does this mean you've finished? HOW AMAZING WAS IT?

Stop wasting your time on GAF and go play it, the girly hijinx are GotY material alone.
Gotta finish Ep. 4 myself later today.
Far as Ms. Marvel goes, the 2000s series was good IMO, I can't say much about this current run as it never interested me :/
The Peter David Captain Marvel series was good too, but I have yet to read it myself
If you want a series with a good female lead check out the current Ms. Marvel series.

That usually happens with overrated artists.
I see Freeza waited until i was at work before he decided to personally insult me!!!

Up to issue #4 of Captain Marvel (2012). I'm liking it so far, in part because of the overt feminism. >_>
You mean 2012 by Kelly Sue? Yeah you are gonna like that.

Yes, typing on a tablet.

Link it cuz I missed it
You can tell where the suits intervened in a show that they don't plan on ever involving in movie continuity anyway.
I'd agree with you on Year One being really good and one of the upper side of the DC Animated films, except I only genuinely like the Gordon parts and nothing else.
Aaaaaw shiiit
What plot point?
Sounds just like my GF, go read KSD's Bitch Planet. You should LOVE it.
It would have worked a bit better if
Coulson having a fucking Helicarrier and the thousands of staff to man and maintain it
Yay!
Do get around to reading Bitch Planet if you decide to get more into comics. Seriously.

What, does it not even come up in the movie? They just sweep it under the rug?
Oy vey.
I mean, this is apparently what happens when you guys hype books when I'm reading on my phone. It's in the wishlist now, though, so it'll definitely make it into the next order.Infestation.... Mars Attacks..... and Kabuki is the book you forget?

My library in Marvel ultimate is shockingly huge now. Up to issue seven in m Hawkeye, and I've added all the recommended Doctor Strange, Invincible Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, all the Morales Spiderman's, and Ms. Marvel's. Oh, and Daredevils as well.
I'm never going to catch up at this rate but what a bargain.
