Had to unfollow. He does not take criticism well, and doesn't shut up about it.
He trashed The Outhousers after they wrote an article insulting him over winning an Eisner and he moved on quick.

I'm only passingly familiar with that site. That's one of those sites I see linked to a lot by those types on Twitter that are in a perpetual state of outrage.

Just placed my third order on Barnes and noble's web site. Now I'm trying to place the fourth, literally seconds later and the site is down, lol. That may be for the best for my wallet... But damnit, I want those three other books!
It's funny cause if you see this gif before seeing the video, the sounds Will Smith makes is exactly how you'd imagine them.

I mean, putting Wiccan and Hulkling on a team was a really huge deal. That seemed like a big step forward, and the sales on New Avengers, while not in the same league as Hickman, still seemed to be pretty good.
A year after their debut they are sidelining those characters and I still get kinda mad when I think about it. They are sidelining those characters for no logical reason, any possible explanation they come up with for that will be dumb. It makes all of their talk about diversity seem really fucking cynical and cheap.
And yes it would be Tom
smh every time I look at sales on Vision
It'll be a cold day in hell I'll tell you that much
That's awesome!! Hope you guys are both having a blast.

I would LOVE to see Flash season 3 end with Barry dying, and season 4 having Wally take over the series for good.

Yo Echo, you read the FCBD ROM #0, right?

This Wally doesn't have much of a personality yet (because they gave his to Barry) and I like Grant Guston enough to disagree with this. It would sure be interesting though.

I like what I'm hearing
So Civil War 2 followed by Death of X followed by IvX followed by the Trial of Hank McCoy? Plus, didn't Lemire say Tempus would be coming back?
WE FUCKING THERE
I DON'T CARE!
Same people who read movie novelizations

Atta boy
A new issue hasn't dropped for a month or so, though...Or is one supposed to be dropping this week?
Reeeeaaaaadddd iiiiitttt
HEY...I'm only 24...
I NEED IT
Is that Henry Cavill?
His personality is "Barry's a punk-ass bitch." So naturally, I liked him. But not enough to keep me watching.
I AIN'T THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!

Well, kid flash wasnt much of a character at first either. I haven't seen Wally on the show yet, so I can't say. Would be cool and super original. Wally was the best flash. Barry is like Hal. Just super boring.They should have left him dead and either stuck with Wally or moved to a gen 4 Flash (I'm not counting Bart's five minutes)

Every time I see the opening to Stranger Things, I think of Doctor Strange because the font looks so similar.

Man JLU is still just good. I'll never not catch feels at Wally going full Speed Force.
Also just finished Thanos: The Infinity Revelation. No idea what the fuck I just read. Loved every moment.

Completely random question, I am just catching up on TDK:3 Master Race (will spoiler in case):
Maybe it's just Frank Miller.
So, Hal Jordan is DK:2 was essentially a god, it made reference to the fact he didn't need a ring anymore ("he used to need a ring, now he is one), that he had created his own reality through a wornhole etc... he turns up and Deus Ex Machina's the entire plot. He essentially seemed Doc Manhattan levels of power.
Then, he turns up in DK:3 and has his hand burnt off by a random Kryptonian...
Like what the actual fuck? did he lose all that power? I thought he didn't need a ring?
The story isn't done yet so it may explain this, but I can't get my head round it.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I thought I'd give it a shot. My daughter is really into the Marvel films, and seems interested in the comics, but she does not know where to start. She has a birthday coming up and I was wondering if there were any compendiums or TPB's that might make for a good entry point for a 14 year old into the comics; she'd be starting from zero. She'd be interested in more recent timelines, not the really old classics. Looking for something for her to dip her toes in and see if it's something she wants to go deeper into. (As an example, I've heard good things about this Guardians of the Galaxy TPB, but I don't know if that's a good starting point.)
Any help/pointers would be appreciated!

There's actually an omnibus of the entire Abnett / Lanning run that just came out, but yeah, you're better off picking up a variety of Vol.1's until you hone in on what she likes specifically. I would also try her on books like Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel. Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Spider-Woman are also fun reads.
Getting into comics can be a bit overwhelming, but it's best to just pick up books that pique her interest and go from there. Keep in mind, Marvel LOVES renumbering, so you may come across several trades from a series that are all labeled Vol.1, but are actually all different story arcs. Just ask if you need help deciphering which are which.
If you're picking up a bunch of stuff, take a look at InStockTrades for some deep discounts, and free shipping over $50.
I'd suggest looking into these.
Thor and Hawkguy can get a bit bloody and violenty but it's nothing that you don't see on primetime TV.

Pretty much perfect suggestions.
If she likes the Cap movies, definitely introduce her to Brubaker's Captain America series. There seems to be an "Ultimate Collection": https://www.amazon.com/dp/0785143416/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Waid's Daredevil
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DP1E8KE/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Soule's She Hulk
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAHL1A8/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Would you guys say God of Thunder is maybe a bit too dark for a 14 year old?
If you don't mind getting her a Thor comic that's metal as fuck, then you should also look into that, it's written by the person who also writes the current Lady Thor run and it's one of the best comics I've read, be it Marvel or other, it's all around fantastic.

Already have the Superior Foes omni. They have a Star Wars sale running too, but it's not on any of the recent stuff (within 6 issues or so). Otherwise I'd have partaken. lol Marvel
It's a Vader Down sale so it only goes up to that event lol.

I don't understand why there isn't a Deluxe Hardcover for Soule's She Hulk.
It still has problems with quite a few jokes falling flat and Ultron being non threatening, but the action and team interactions are spot on.

Marvel's catalogue for first third of next year is out.
http://images.abovethetreeline.com/ea/TW/pdfs/MARBKPREVIEW2013011_lowres.pdf
This looks interesting.
Lots of other stuff too.
John Byrne Alpha Flight Omnibus - $100 - 1248 pages (!)
Daredevil by Waid Omnibus - $100for the NYC part of the run. Depending on how much the second omnibus costs (I am assuming $75), the OHCs and omnibuses may end up costing the same. My mistake. This is just the first 27 issues, not 36. Omnibus 2 will also be $100 then, making the OHCs a much better value.
Daredevil by Brubaker Omnibus v1 - $100 (reprint)
GOTG Classic Omnibus - $100.
X-Men Legacy: Legion Omnibus - $75 (24 issues).

I dig Age of Ultron. I think they needed another pass at the script to make Ultron's motivations more intelligible, and it's clear that some damage was done in the editing room, but other than that, I love that movie.
Honestly Daredevil fans are winning right now. All his runs are being reprinted. From stan lee, to miller, to waid. All we need left is Bendis.

I don't think Bendis DD holds up. I'm sure many will disagree, though.
I have the original oversized HCs for that run, but haven't tried to get rid of them yet. Pretty sure at least one of them is signed by Maleev.
Excalibur Epic Collection, nice.
Great news today, Trump up 5% nationally in a new poll. Bernie finding out how rigged the system is, will probably endorse Trump tonight at his convention speech ( and if he doesn't you know he secretly does). And on top of all this I read New Avengers #5.
New Avengers #5: I'm sure this series gets better eventually.
