I'm expecting the inevitable fight with a Talon to go down more like the various Galavan fights tbh.

For me I'd say Dark Age over stayed it's welcome. I was sooo hyped when he was finally tackling and liked the overall tale but felt it just lasted too long (when reading it as singles as they came out back in the day)
Agents of SHIELD #1 - who is this book for? The show has awful ratings so they cant expect the few people that watch it to rush out and get what is essentially a tie-in, and if its supposed to be the opposite, well thats just silly. I mean, did the previous volume sell a lot or something to justify this?
Anyway the book itself was whatever, I already forgot most of it.

Superman #1
I got goosebumps, not many comics make me go back and re-read certain panels 2-4 times but this did. I felt so bad for Jon
The art and color is also top notch. I think we got a good creative team on this book
5/5 don't stop
Superman #2
Yet another great issue. Superman's new costume along with the great coloring brings it to life. The family moments were great, but this new threat is kinda confusing to me. Hopefully the bad guy stuff gets easier to follow
4/5
so far Superman and New Superman is on full throttle

Trying to save your pet, only to kill it is tragic. and then being shooked by Batman and Wonder woman showing up wow.

Never in doubt when Tomasi and Gleason are together. Their Batman and Robin was incredible. Gleasons art is incredible.
it's just a 200~ page regular trim hardcover, not that exciting!
I approve of this week's comics news:
Royal City - Multigenerational family drama, done entirely by Jeff Lemire. It'll debut next year through Image, planned for 20 issues right now.
Ether - Matt Kindt and David Rubin have a 5 issue series at Dark Horse starting in November. It follows an interdimensional explorer reconciling his scientific mind with the real magic of another world.
Anytime you see Jeff lemire Coming out with a new series done entirely by him you better jump on it. I think his best work comes from his own original titles. Looks great
waiting for the Cmx to jump on all of it
Word. He's got his Roughneck graphic novel coming in April, too, via one of Simon & Schuster's imprints. That's finally arriving after being announced nearly three years ago.
never read it, but that was co-written. Also it is getting a movie. So I guess he is about to make some dough

I've yet to try a Lemire creator owned book because he always seems to work with artists I don't care for.

Me too. But then I only read one issue.
Essex county, water welder, descender, sweet tooth.
Are all great but Essex county is one of my favorite graphic novels of all time. Glad to see eh is going to back to his roots again

The 6th Gun #9 - I knew
was too good to be true! I don't think he'll end up being that bad in end though. Bunn's dialogue gets better by the issue. Bunn also does a great job of letting the art tell the story at times and the artist does a great job of telling that story.
I'll check out Essex County and Sweetooth (Twisted Metal fan fic?).
Descender is one I was specifically referring to when I mentioned art I don't care for. Plutona was the other one I was thinking of.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #6 - Dat Salem origin story. ������
This is always one of the last books I read on whichever week it comes out, and it always turns out to be a really great comic.
No you're not.

Her Amber skin is easily my favorite.
Slott has clearly been killing time in the ANAD run to set up the story he really wants to tell.
Maybe you should play Overwatch! I like a few epic skins: Mercy Amber, Roadhog Pig Pen, Mei's plum one, Pharah Anubis, and maybe others i forget.

Mercy's Amber skin is not an Epic. Mei's best skin is Yeti Hunter.
Totally an epic skin. You need to get back to Overwatch your memory is fading.

Squirrel Girl bishoujo teaser for SDCC
Teaser #2:
This one is harder to figure out. If it's Dick Grayson, then this will be the start of the bishounen series. If it's a bishoujo, my money is on it being Cheyenne Freemont.

I enjoyed the pre-SW run of that book. Waid's run, obviously. Took a very sharp downturn after that, however. After the first couple issues I dropped it. I only bothered to pick up the Standoff tie-in.

I'm starting Simonson's Thor, but I'm trying a new thing where I don't just devour it 12 issues at a time. I'm only going one a day. Last night was the introduction of Beta Ray Bill, today's was their fight for Mjolnir. It's real good so far, and I love how easily BRB picks up the hammer. It makes the idea that none of Thor's friends (save Cap at dramatic moments) can't pick it up a bit ridiculous.
The show has awful ratings? That's actually news to me.
Anyways, this book is corporate synergy at it's weirdest.

It's ratings aren't awful, but they are not of a show worth keeping for more than two seasons. Or even one.
I agree. I'm just saying that someone stating the show having awful ratings is something I have never seen on this forum. Not even in the TV cancellation thread.
On the show itself, I have never thought it was anything beyond "good". It was mostly decent, and anyone saying an episode was great or that it had a compelling character arc is just cringe inducing. Now that I think about it, I have an issue with the fanbase rather than the show itself.

The only reason Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is getting another season is that it can go into syndication if they do one more.
It makes me sad that it's continuing and Agent Carter is no more.

The imp skin is awesome. Get the fuck outta here.
What if they sex swapped Dick.
It's absolutely Dick but I'm guessing it's...
....probably a female version yeah. Will buy regardless though!
Fuckin beautiful. Seriously.

Really enjoying American Flagg. Well constructed future dystopia. Good pacing and interesting characters. Some great layouts.
Never coming out

Oh no, it's definitely dropped. It's just been downhill after the first issue so I don't kmow what I was thinking picking up this issue thinking it might pick up.
Dropping a bunch of stuff this week actually. Flash somehow managed to be just as bad, if not worse then the first issue.
On the other hand, really enjoyed Wonder Woman #2. But hated #1. Ugh.. I'm conflicted on what to do. Maybe I'll just skip every other issue.

Thats a good idea, to savor one of Marvel's best runs. Especially those older comics, which weren't meant to be gobbled up all at the same time.
A dope comic where now you can start to see the influence it had on everything from Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, Paul Verhooeven's Robocop, Wes Craig's work on Deadly Class, etc.
