Ok, well Squirrel Girl isn't out till August. I highly recommend The Ghost Fleet if you haven't read it.

It's not because of the post count that he's giving me the crown, Freeza. It's because of the posts... that count.

WE'RE ACTUALLY BACK. THANK GOODNESS.
Did I not tell you it was amazing and you'd love it!?
I personally didn't like it. I thought both the art and writing were pretty poor overall. I'm certainly an outlier though. Almost everyone else ever loved it.

Didn't love it. Those were tears of complete sadness :/

Kipp, you're an outlier amongst outliers on this one. Gaydos nails that gritty art. Only guy who's better at that style is Maleev.
Will check it out, and on that note Saga as well.
Trades unless they're not available I should have said. Will probably grab Squirrel Girl 1-2 at least. Will put that on the list for future reading. I'm going to walk out broke today if I'm not careful.
I just assumed you would have read Saga. Saga is stunning.

Did ya'll niggas read the Spire or nah
When I said I wasn't a comic reader I meant it. No joke, this is very nearly the first time I'm dipping my toes in, aside from the two books I mentioned and Lady Mechanika. These be uncharted waters for me.

Meh. Close enough.
Man, I'm all for that general style of art... but TO MY EYES (your opinion is totally valid as is everyone else's - I promise I'm not starting that fight here) he was totally amateur in many ways. His faces were super vague and didn't show any specific emotions and his copy and pasting panels was absolutely inexcusable. There were a few points where he almost seemed enjoyable, but they were few and far between.
With that said, anyone wanna buy my Alias omnibus? Haha
For real though, I'll sell it for like $35 + shipping if someone here wants it. No reason to keep a book on my shelf that I didn't enjoy that everyone else enjoys.
But you said you read Sunstone yes? You read the best first I see.
Velvet by Brubaker and Epting is amazing also.
Bendis was asked this on twitter, loooooool

going to read it later.
No. The title with the new Thor was just called "Thor". I said "Thor: God of Thunder", different book.
Salty that his events weren't close to being as good as Hickman's.

haha did you come out looking like a vampire?
hmm well I'd still try it. Though the opportunity is unlikely to come considering my wife is on birth control and doesn't have periods due to health issues.
I remember dating some girls who said guys would never have sex when they had their period. Smh.
Hmm on topic, I think I'm gonna make a couple big IST orders on my birthday in august. One big enough for free shipping and then one massive one right after to take advantage of the extra 2% offer.
Sunstone is the very catalyst for this burgeoning interest. Freeza mentioned it once in FigureGAF, I binged it beginning to end twice that night, and now here I am.
I believe it was freeza who pm'd me about it ages ago.
that girl loves her lewdness.
Looking to start trade-waiting a few series:
I'm waiting on The Manhattan Projects to wrap up completely, as I always lose the plot with Hickman.
I'm thinking of grabbing Black Science, Deadly Class or both of them. Do they lend themselves to trade reading or is similar to TMP where I should just wait til it's all done?

They are all great for trade reading. Fantastic choices.
So do I, admittedly. Half the reason I picked up the book at first glance. And then Stjepan went and pulled all that emotion stuff on me.
Thats how I was hooked. I mentioned bdsm stuff and she pm'd me with Sunstone. Sejic lured you in with the sex and allys glasses and hit you with the feels train repeatedly. So good.

It took me a little bit to warm up to it. The first half of the book was really about getting familiar with the world they're living in, and the considerable amounts of old-timey language made things a bit more difficult in that respect. But I really like how they poured science-fiction elements into a medieval fantasy setting.
oh sure, he did a lot of panel-pasting and I won't defend him on that front. He's like a poor-man's Alex Maleev for sure, but I don't think he's a bad artist. Not nearly.
I vaguely remember that!
RIP FigureGAF
Deadly Class is amazing and you should definitely read each issue as it comes out.
Black Science on the other hand, while also super-awesome, is a book where I have similar issues as I (and you, seemingly) do with Manhattan Projects and other science-focused books wherein I tend to lose the plot from issue to issue, and therefore it reads much better in trade format.
thanks for the input dude
well both i'm going to trade-wait for. i'm gonna take a break from monthlies for a while.
i take it DC and BS are unique enough to read at the same time, and both read well in trades.
guess i'll grab both and see where we go!

Probably a good idea for your wallet's sake.
Absolutely. Deadly Class is set in the 80's and is about a group of students who attend a school for assassins. Black Science is a time-travel / alternate dimension-hopping adventure book.
Couldn't believe it when chap. 2 had me tearing up. Not what I signed up for, but so damned good.
RIP. Died before I was a member.

Some good picks there, looks good to me.
Also you liked Power Girl?
my friend
We had a small talk about it the other night b, shit's cash.
And GAF being down didn't really effect me much today but it led to some fun antics on twitter at least.

I do now.
I'd put good money on it going on sale the week that the show goes on Netflix. You've already waited twelve years
More on catching up on my backlog: Read Aphrodite IX over the last few days. Now there's a book that radically shifts in quality between volume 1 and 2, despite the same creative team. The main character not being a complete cypher helps, who'd know!
Also read Pretty Deadly vol 1 earlier on in the week, that was good. Went somewhere quite different to where I was expecting. Starting Death Vigil now, seems pretty good for an artist written book given the track record of those.
