Newsarama: Does Marvel really publish ongoing series anymore?
Tl;dr Marvel should stop calling series limited or ongoing unless they know the book will only be 4 issues.
Bleeding Cool looks forward to others getting called war criminals by Slott.

Nice, did you get the new TPB? How is the quality?
Some great art and visuals but it kind of devolved into a mess in the second half. Definitely worth a read though.
So $2.99 then?
Wonder who'll get the book.

That's awesome, I know I was asking about 40k comics not too long ago.

After today's Rebirth purchases I only have 817 issues/collections in my CMX wish list I'm waiting on coming out or, in most cases, going on sale. I'm happy I can control myself and not ending up with 30+ I have to buy right away each week.

This feels pointed at me
Hey, if there was an actually good physical store close to me I'd be you.
...When Clone Conspiracy hits I should get your avatar but reversed and see how many notice.

Ddddd same, but I never ended up finishing the shortlived series. I think I stopped partially through Guggenheim's run.
The series introduced me to Monet though which is nice.
Just use one of my regular Olivia avatars

Lmaoooo
Also why would All Star Batz be $2.99? There's a Shalvey back up story in there.
What are they running a charity?

Has anyone here read Alan Heinberg's Wonder Woman: Who Is Wonder Woman book?
Is it good?

I have no problem with the price but I do have problems with how and when it was announced. That was very intentional.

So what Star Wars book do we think Gillen will announce on Saturday as his new project after Vader?
New Super-Man #1
Ok this book has no right being soo good. Felt like I was reading something from Image till the last couple of pages. I think I enjoyed this more than Green Arrow rebirth.
Edit: No wonder the book was so good then. Gene Luen Yang is behind some of my favorite :01 books. American Born Chinese and level up.
Yea this book is great hands.Can't even think of anybody else more qualified to write this book
5/5

Now you gave me something I cannot forget....
That's a very odd thing to say about a book written by Gene Luen Yang.

Ongoing relaunches.
Woah I didn't even look at the team behind it. I really did go in blind.

Anyone have advice for how to approach these IDW Ghostbusters comics?

read left to right, up to down!
I was thinking of it while my girlfriend was shaving her legs. I mean if she can why doesn't she make her hair in other places grow and make an armor out of it.
It's kinda like it's pretty dumb after so many years and the various X-men getting more powerful, Cyke still can't control his eye beams.

Sounds like DC books are killing it this week? Damn work!
Any impressions on Flash? It's been about the only book of Rebirth I've been most disappointed with. That and being disappointed that Titans isn't twice monthly. It feels like it's been forever since the Rebirth issue.

They're right about that Previews issue being edited terribly. There are obvious fuck-ups all over the place.

Maybe they realized there was possibly too many "Avengers" books?
Last minute?
Mostly it's been trying to rebuild the Flash canon with bits of the show, bits of the New 52 run, and all the old comics stuff, which, while it's a joyous exercise for Williamson, who's clearly having tons of fun figuring out how this stuff can work together, has been pretty bad for the book's forward momentum. Like, the Flash is fighting a guy with very vague motivations, while a gigantic but also vague thing is happening to people around him. Also Wally is there. No, the other one.

I just kind of wish it wasn't so much about tone setting this far in. It seems crazy to say this far in, but with the issues coming this fast it feels like it's been longer than it actually has. It just seems like the most rehash of rehash possible. Rebirth was a rehash of the DC Rebirth book almost literally, and then the first issue was basically rehash of the history of Barry. Just....move on dammit!
I feel the same for Aquaman. I'm going to wait for the second arc to pick it up agian.

See with Aquaman I feel a bit differently only because it seemed like it was mostly just catching up. Yes they were dealing with the Atlantis/US stuff all before and dealing with Their embassy before but this at least seems like it's a story on it's own while also saying "Hey this is where we left off and we're going to get back to this.". The stuff with Black Manta may be retread but it has at least had something to do while dealing with the rehash. Where Flash has felt like all rehash with almost nothing new to focus on for anyone else. There have been bits but they're just so damn tiny and pointless feeling in the first two issues. That's why I was curious about this issue to see if it actually moved on.
