Was that Steve at the end of Sam Cap this week? He seemed out of character.

Spoiler

That's U.S. Agent

 

[Lashley]

Spoiler

That's U.S. Agent

Ah, something to do with U.S.Avengers?

Spoiler

Who is he?

Do you know?

SILLYMONKEY IT'S WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

In other James Harden news.

 

[ElNarez]

Ah, something to do with U.S.Avengers?

Spoiler

Who is he?

Do you know?

iirc, the story goes that Steve abandons the name of Captain America for a while because America Is Fucked Up, and U.S.Agent is the one that replaced him

 

[TheFlow]

So was Bobby Drake ever a team leader or anything like that? Because I swear to god, I cannot think of anything they've done with that character that is even remotely notable. All of the other O5 members have gone on to have some complex and interesting arcs and developments, and Bobby's done...what? Find out he's an omega mutant and come to terms with being gay? Which sounds like it should be a lot, but for the life of me I wouldn't be able to tell based on the stories I've read with him in it recently. I keep forgetting and then remembering and then re-forgetting and then re-remembering that he's on Storm's current team.

SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!

Yea Bobby's most known problem is dealing with going Permanent ice man and being over powered.

I agree, The OG 5 and then the second group (Colossus, Storm, Wolverine, Banshee, Thunderbird, maybe sunfire, and nigthcrawler) all went through some crazier shit. Like even sunfire went from a hotshot og to a bum.

Batman #2
Hmmm OK so far.

Superman #2
Why does

Spoiler

Eradicator always have to be wearing Yellow glasses for? Just make his eyes glow yellow or some such @_@

B. Panther #3
OK seems the plot is progressing but I don't like

Spoiler

all these Ls that T'challa is getting.

Flintstones #1
Pass. Let me know when the art is more cartoony looking :/

Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers #5
Wow that was a lot in just a single issue hah. The overall story is character focused so if you like those kind of stories you may enjoy this. However this is best read after Last Stand of the Wreckers at least.

Transformers: Til all are one #2
Slow progress, but progress.

Spoiler

Ironhide decides to take mattersinto his own hand and look into resolving the violence that's spreading, while Onslaught has a mole on Ironhide's team.

Kaijumax #3
Good issue and awesome shout out

Spoiler

to Gamera

Sonic Mega Drive #1
I'm sorry Kaijumax #3 but this is the book of the week. Great humor and great art, all around fun book.

I love how the first issue of Ucanny X-force by Remender gives us a full detailed backstory of what happened with the x force team and the mutants in general starting at M-day and going up to the present run. Love it! This is what comics need more of in the first issue

I'm still yet to read it, have it sitting here though. Heard its amazing.

 

[whatsinaname]

Started on some Last Days issues for my Secret Wars run.

Last Days of Ms. Marvel - Finally catching up with this. I love Kamala's parents. The timing of the "qayamat ka din to nahiin" (this isn't the end of days) line from her father was bloody hilarious.

Last Days of Magento - 4 issues... That's a whole lot of pages not saying very much. Oscillated between boring and bad.

Last Days of Ant-Man - Last couple of pages were funny but otherwise felt like more filler.

Last days of Loki - Skipped for now because I want to read the whole run later.

Last Days of Punisher - WTF?

 

[RepairmanJack]

My rankings for this weeks Rebirth titles:

Green Arrow>Superman>Batman>Green Lanterns>Justice League>Aquaman

Green Arrow continues to be great, I'm really liking the focus on Superman as a dad, and I came around on Batman.

I liked the banter and character stuff with Baz and Jessica more this issue than the last two, but I still just don't really care to see more of the Red Lanterns.

Justice League just seemed like a weird thing to do for a Rebirth issue. I feel like it should have just been the heroes perspective on what happened in the last issue of Superman with Batman and WW going to see him. Maybe something with the League getting the GL's acquainted with what they're doing with them supposedly training them. I feel like it should have just been more of a set up for the team with the new additions and instead it was a huge threat with some of the team talk on the side. Wasn't feeling it.

Aquaman just seemed blah. Don't really know what to say, a whole issue fight that was anti-climactic and mostly dumb.

Aside from that only read Bloodlines so far. More people should give Bloodlines a try. It's just a good fun title. It feels so much like a 90's teen horror movie and it's just been awesome.

One of my favourite comic runs ever, it basically got me back into comics after years of falling out of love with them. Reminder writes the best version of Deadpool too.

Uncanny X force Remender #1-4

It didn't capture like I thought it would but a cool first arc. That ending though

[LosDaddie]

It's been a while since I read it but Time Runs Out is only a small part of a pretty long run from Hickman. I'm not sure you'd get the most out of it you don't read Avengers and New Avengers from the start. Plus it's a genuinely great story as well.

It's a great part of a super long run from Hickman that will make absolutely no sense if you haven't read everything from his Avengers and New Avengers up to it, along with Infinity. But yes it leads directly into Secret Wars.

Thanks for the replies!

I've decided to buy the hardcover. I have both the infinity and the infinity companion hardcovers. So hopefully I won't be too lost reading this book. I do like how this book leads right into Secret Wars.

Man, Blackest Night is great. Loving the Green Lantern issues that are interweaved as well (the event and the GL issues are in proper reading order in the Johns omnibus which adds some context and story over the event proper). Having a blast reading it.

I am looking forward to reading the event myself. I bought the GL omnibus because it included the event and all the GL tie-ins. I also have most of the other tie-ins.

Ok, I am an old timer comic reader that is back at reading thanks to comixology. I need some recomendations on newer stuff, I like good written stories, sci-fi (not Star Wars), some fantasy, dark fairy tales, horror and psycological stories. Some well wriiten superhero stuff too. I am good with Marvel with Unlimited at moment, want to check recent Vertigo and Indie stuff.

I will add then to my whishlist and buying some each month, looking for sales.

For reference in the past I enjoyed Vertigo (Sandman, The Dreaming, Fables, Shade the Changing Man among others), urban stuff since Greel's Sable, Grim Jack, etc.

My last month's reading included:
- Faster than Light. Another take on early Star Trek like encounters, I have seen better, but I like those type of stories. Art is ok, but hard to follow the characters when half of them looks the same.6/10
- Jupiter's Legacy. Millar likes to my new takes on old archetipals, and this story reads to much like Kingdom Comes, but I liked it. 7/10
- MPH. Again, Millar is making his take on Flash, specially Wally just after Crisis. 6/10
- Chnonauts. Millar on Back to tbe Future but with no consequences at all and weird logic. Would not read d it was not on sale. 5/10.
- Sable Freelance Bloodtrail. Most fir the nostalgia, but I like it. 7/10.

Have Sheriff of Babylon trade in pre-order. Love King's stuff.

Are those kind of books usually collected in trades too? The new Flintstones book also intrigued me, but at $4 a book it is kinda expensive.

Just got round to finishing my books from last week. Definitely sticking with the Flash as I've enjoyed both the Rebirth issue and #1 a lot. Detective Comics has had a solid start too.

 

[Secret Character]

I know this group here is mostly for those that read books on the regular, but I've started getting into the collecting aspect. I guess I shouldn't say "getting into" as I've had books stored away since I was young, but I'm now actively trying to find keys and getting things graded.

Currently, I'm waiting to get my first two graded books back, but I'm wondering if anybody else here is into that sort of thing.

A darkish fairy tail with cutesy coat of paint:

Well, my first submissions happened at Denver Comic Con, but when you ship, you're supposed to double (or triple) board your books. They recommend them being a slightly larger bag and board than what they "normally" fit in. A Modern would go into a double boarded Silver, etc. You then wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in a box. I plan on sending 6 or 8 books next time I do a shipment, because I've found some crazy stuff in incredible condition over the last couple weeks.

The Prince Valiant studio edition was 17" x 23"! Comparatively, IDW Don Rosa AE is 14" x 20".

And I agree about FB. They are putting out so many great editions. Disney box sets, Peanuts box sets, all the L&R editions, Hip Hop Family Tree, Eternaut, Tardi collections, Adele Blanc Sec... the list goes on. The larger Locas hard covers are very well put together too.
