We should do a USM book club. I haven't read it in awhile.

I'm in if the old series is on MU. I haven't read it since the days of the Ultimate Clone Saga, would be fun to revisit it.

Also, that list is missing Ultimate Six, the Ultimates/Spider-Man crossover. I remember it being good. And Spider-Men, which is so very good.

 

[Pachimari]

Ultimate Clone Saga, is that a re-telling of the original Clone Saga with Ben Reilly?

 

[Mac the KNife]

Is Ultimate Comics Spider-Man worth reading though?

I think I like the art style of what I can see in the preview pages on comiXology.

I remember really liking the first 14 or so issues before the series finally succumbed to the shittiness of Ultimatum. David LaFuente is a phenomenal artist that really paired up well with Bendis' material.

I would be in. Have re read it all not that far ago but I would take part in pieces at last.

I believe it's all on MU. Yeah, I never touched most of that when I read it.

Alright, well, I know I'm the one who suggested it - but I'm not really sure how these things usually go. lol

Holy fuckballs. Let me figure out how to subscribe.

Yo lemme know where to go to do the same

That doesn't mean the magazine is instantly going to go from what it is to something amazing.

I'm willing to give it a shot to see what Morrison puts together and see new work from Irving and Burnham

 

[Coriolanus]

Yes it does.

 

[Kipp]

Lol. Not only is my boss not in the office (I mean, she hasn't been in the office for 5 weeks, so that's kind of a given at this point), but her Skype is messing up too, so she's not even Skyping me today. This is the best.

I'm willing to plunk down 20 bones for a years worth of potential magic and mayhem from Morrison.

Only 20 bucks? Shoot. I might be down as well.

Yeah, looks like a year subscription (6 issues) is $21.95

So just gotta wait 'til before Morrison's first issue in 2016 comes out, and check that out. Like Tim said, if he's going to be enlisting his usual creative partners, then it'll be the easiest $21.95 that I spend that year.

Awesome. Would you mind shooting me a reminder whenever you subscribe? 2016 is a long ways away and I'm afraid I'll forget by then, but I'm pretty sure I'll subscribe to this. Seems pretty sweet.

You doubt the DA GOD OF COMICS?!?!

 

[Zeyphersan]

Ultimate Clone Saga, is that a re-telling of the original Clone Saga with Ben Reilly?

I don't think Ben Reilly is in it. It does have a shit-ton of clones of Peter, plus some gender-bending

It's also really dumb

 

[Freezasaurus]

You doubt the DA GOD OF COMICS?!?!

Uhhh yeah, kinda?

Morrison has always been really hit-or-miss for me. More often than not I end up not liking his oddball stuff like Invisibles, and much prefer his runs on things like Batman or X-Men.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

No Force Awakens footage at Comic Con. Somebody hold me.

 

[Filthy Slug]

No problem, man. I'm sure between Tim and myself we'll all be able to keep each other reminded.

Hell yes.
Who's gonna spot me $3000 for the set of colored Lord of Light prints?

[ViewtifulJC]

cancel comic con

 

[Freezasaurus]

No Force Awakens footage at Comic Con. Somebody hold me.

At least the new Star Wars novel comes out tomorrow.

September can't come soon enough, when it brings the big Force Awakens merchandise drop.

 

[Kipp]

No problem, man. I'm sure between Tim and myself we'll all be able to keep each other reminded.

Sweet. I'm looking forward to this.

Hell yes.

Oh my. Those are gorgeous.
Okay fine, I'll spot you the cash. Paypal?

 

[TetraxShards]

Is that the Aftermath one?

Also, did Kevin Hearne's one ever come out? I love the Iron Druid books.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Saw those on instagram and just got sad because all of this rad shit drops at SDCC, and NYCC gets shit.

 

[Zombine]

NYCC gets all of SDCC's hand me downs.

We get Boruto though.

You could always move to the left coast. I'm toying with the idea, but for completely unrelated reasons.

Dark Disciple. Aftermath's out in September.

Thanks Kipp, you're the best

It's because you saw Kipp's glorious buttocks, isn't it?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Dark Disciple. Aftermath's out in September.

Aftermath is the one that picks up right after ROTJ, yeah?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Aftermath is the one that picks up right after ROTJ, yeah?

Yep, first in a trilogy. The next two are out in 2016.

 

[Coriolanus]

Same, which is why he`ll probably fare well on an editorial position. Or terribly. fiddy fiddy.

Well, except for x-men. They've always been terrible.

 

[Kipp]

It's because you want to go bouldering with me, isn't it.

Thanks Kipp, you're the best

np
Just pay me back whenever

 

[Messi]

I fear I will never know why LaFuente blocked me on Twitter . I am nothing but nice on Twitter and here.

Cool, cool.

 

[Gambit 1138]

Good why would you want footage???

Wait for the damn movie to actually come out. Too much information has already been given out.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Because I'm looking forward to the film. It's not exactly rocket science. I don't want the plot spoiled but another sneak peak would be nice.

 

[Freezasaurus]

It's because you saw Kipp's glorious buttocks, isn't it?

XD

Where does Kipp live? I was thinking along the lines of moving to Arizona or thereabouts.

Yep, first in a trilogy. The next two are out in 2016.

I'm assuming the second book will take place after The Force Awakens, yeah?

You can't expect people to pay to see a movie they don't know much about.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I don't think so. Pretty suree they're all going to be set between Jedi and TFA.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Someone get me a job in New York I will move.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I don't think so. Pretty suree they're all going to be set between Jedi and TFA.

Really? That's kind of a letdown.

Some of this was posted earlier in regards to page rates and how little people in comics make, but Comics Beat did a nice write up on this issue and included comments from a podcast Sean Murphy was on. Well worth a (depressing) read if you missed it initially.

[Pachimari]

I'm at page 26 of 46 in Ultimate Spider-Man #1 and I already love it a lot. I love the whole school atmosphere and I hope they'll look into that in the upcoming movie.

I love that the issue is on 46 pages. That's a lot compared to the other comics I have bought in recent days.

The Immortal Iron Fist and Alias are also really growing on me. I love the whole grounded detective thing going on with Jessica Jones. And I were surprised to see, that there have been a whole lot of Iron Fists before Danny Rand, which is an interesting part. Hopefully I'll soon get to see his origins.

You do know that that's how one gets blocked, aye?

In which i've learned that apparently one can break his wrist by drawing.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

omg

 

[Owzers]

Anime ruins everything.

 

[Filthy Slug]

You had him but then you scared him off with the Anime talk. God dammit, Tyrant.

E: I wish your keyboard exploded everytime you typed 'Anime' on it.

 

[Kipp]

Where does Kipp live? I was thinking along the lines of moving to Arizona or thereabouts.

I'm in San Diego County.
But why on earth would you want to move to Arizona!? Unless you were thinking the more mountainous areas rather than the terrible desert areas.

Ah geez. I'm at work so I only have time to do a quick skim of those graphs, but that's horribly depressing.

Not like he wouldn't leave here after a week anyways

I'll talk to him right now about it.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Also I hope he says Cowboy Bebop

 

[Kipp]

I'll talk to him right now about it.

Be sure to remind him that half of his sales come from the good people of ComicsGAF.
