I'll vote Rucka punisher. I love big boss punisherI don't know what to read first. Abe Sapien or Rucka's Punisher run. Choose for me GAF.
Also, come up with a witty title for the August OT, preferably Thanos-related.
Look Messi! I am crowdsourcing!
Nice. I bought the omnibus because I didn't think they wouldPraise the Chief, CMX started adding Silver Age Doom Patrol this week
Yup, I live right around the corner from Tate's lol
Haven't been to Supercon surprisingly. It's always during bad weekends for me every year. I'd like to go eventually since I have friends who go.

A lot of you want me to know that there were no Homo Sapiens in 1 million BC. And I gotcha. But this is the Marvel version of prehistory...
Jason Aaron‏ @jasonaaron 2m2 minutes ago
A version with Asgardian gods, cosmic firebirds, mystic kung fu cities, flaming mammoths and... something else.
Jason Aaron‏ @jasonaaron 2m2 minutes ago
Something very big. Buried deep in the earth. Something that's the key to understanding where we're going next. And where it all started.

In other words, all will be revealed. Starting with MARVEL LEGACY #1. And from there... you'll have to wait and see.
How come Iron-Man has that ugly ass armor during Infinity? Also, why is Spider-Man gone? I assume it has something to do with Superior Spider-Man since he has that suit.
Fine by me. I'll be waiting for the next linewide sale anywaysLooks like they're only doing two issues a week, so it'll be awhile before it's all up.
Comic fans complain about some inconsequential things lol.
That's a good quote.

My run on STAR WARS ends with #37. So I can have the bandwidth to tell this story. A story that begins with the Caveman Avengers.
Aaron taking over Avengers is looking pretty likely.

I hope he does a better job than Waid.
Man you are quick
The trade collects three issues from each book. It seems as though Waid is going to patch up the relationship between the two teams with some other stuff to follow while Tony and the others return in the solo books.Wonder how long the Worlds Collide crossover is gonna be?
Sold.It's great. It's probably the most consistent weekly series ever, since there was the same writing team the whole time, and Giffen did breakdowns on every single issue. It's definitely a love letter to the DCU. There are arcs going on with Renee Montoya (The Question), Ralph Dibny (The Elongated Man), Supergirl, Detective Chimp, Dr. Fate, Black Adam, Animal Man/Starfire/Adam Strange/Lobo (what a combo there), Booster Gold, John Henry Irons (Steel), The Metal Men, etc. THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON. But they never focus on all these different arcs every issue. They give them time to breathe.
How good is it? Somebody convince me to buy volume one on CMX right now.

Not difficult and it will be less boringI hope he does a better job than Waid.
In addition to this, it was period where Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were out of commission for a year (following the events of Infinite Crisis) so it's a time where these less popular characters really get to shine because there is no easy answer of "Why doesn't Superman just come in and fix everything?"
Plus it's the first appearance of modern day Batwoman.
Oh shit. I'm extra sold now. I thought I had seen her intro in Rucka's detective series.Plus it's the first appearance of modern day Batwoman.

From Brendon Small, the man who brought you Dethklok and Metalocalypse, comes a high stakes intergalactic extreme rock comic. Based on his album, Galaktikon, we follow Triton, intergalactic hero of the universe, who will face the ultimate outer space struggle: getting over his divorce.
Galaktikon sounds rad
Eric Powell/Steve Mannion, next week
Oh shit. I'm extra sold now. I thought I had seen her intro in Rucka's detective series.
Oooh. Is Powell on art, or just writing?
Just writing on this one.
FWIW, it's still Rucka who is introducing her in 52.
Can I just take a moment and say how awesome it is to go read Rucka's amazing Detective Comics run in the early '00s where he starts to really flesh out the GCPD and Montoya in particular and watch that move into Gotham Central and then into 52. Same with Sasha from 'Tec and then into OMAC and Checkmate.
Rucka was on fire with his DC Work from '99 to 2010ish. It's a shame that they chased him away for so long.
Ah okay. Still interested.
Oh shit. I'm extra sold now. I thought I had seen her intro in Rucka's detective series.
Really? THAT'S what breaks your immersion? Too human for the times?Aaron knows humans didn't exist in this form that far back, right?
Twas En Saba Nur's only claim to fame outside of being trash.That sucks.

Love that quote
I feel like Whitely has been doing just fine. Waid handling plotting and Whitely handling script is fine with me. I've been enjoying it much more since.I hope he does a better job than Waid.
https://www.comixology.com/52-Vol-1-New-Edition/digital-comic/379435Can you link to the volume you bought on CMX? Or the one you're going to buy if you haven't yet.
I went backwards with Teen Titans, because Johns' run was coming out when I was a kid. It feels wrong to go backwards, but sometimes it's not so bad.Probably my biggest reason that I looked at 52. Kind of funny, my first exposure of her was her new 52 run, then later on got around to Rucka's run of her in Detective Comics (which I really love), and then checked out some of 52, her intro. I was going backwards with her!
I wanted to ask you all a question. Which graphic novels that were given awards/celebrated in the past 10 or so years do you think are still worth buying and reading? I have to be very picky ordering these in Japan because they often get a 20% price increase due to shipping. In addition to that, in America they're often even cheaper than the price without the shipping premium just due to a sale price that never goes away.
Wish I could just get these at the library like I used to
So, I have limited space and limited funds. Which graphic novels from the past 10 years are worth me importing?

I think the point is separation. Accept that fiction is different from fact, and fiction is different from the real world.I mean, folks ask about this stuff because comics keep screwing around with real-life stuff occasionally. If Little Mermaid spent 5 minutes dealing with the vagaries of maritime navigation, other questions would pop up. You have books like Sam Cap dealing with police brutality, so folks are now primed to ask about other stuff.
It's annoying yes, but it ain't entirely on fans alone.
So he'll bring up the Celestial Egg most likely.Comic fans complain about some inconsequential things lol.
EDIT: added more tweets
i've missed Matt Fraction twice, both times because he had to cancel unfortunatelyany of you guys have any bucket writers/artists you're hoping to meet at a con one day? there's guys like Moore, Ennis etc that have nearly 0 chance, but ive missed Waid every time he's hit south florida. this weekend's supercon, im hoping to grab prints from Mike Zeck & maybe Jim Shooter.
That doesn't work if the comic is trying to base itself in our world or use things from our world in the comic's world. That is one of the problems with Marvel in the long run. They keep saying that they want to borrow from what is going on at the time in society.I think the point is separation. Accept that fiction is different from fact, and fiction is different from the real world.
Everytime I watch or read something, unless it's explicitly interconnected, every work is in its own universe with its own rules. Makes the separation so much easier.
Hell, aren't Marvel bringing back "The world outside your window!" for the Make Mine Marvel relaunch?That doesn't work if the comic is trying to base itself in our world or use things from our world in the comic's world.

Barda eating brunch:
Thor, Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, Strange, Panther., Starbrand... Phoenix?
.Now that Marvel has revealed the 1,000,000 B.C. Avengers, they've turned to asking questions about what "Legacy" means for the publisher's modern line. In a release, Marvel has posed six questions that will presumably be answered in Marvel Legacy #1 - the answers for some of which may be tied to the 1,000,000 B.C. Avengers themselves.
Here are the questions:
Who sent the call from Planet Hulk?
What is hunting for the Infinity Stones?
Where in the world is Captain America?
When will Thor fight the war of realms?
Why does Jean Grey journey to Canada?
How has the body of Iron Man disappeared?
Along with these questions, Marvel released an image of the assembled 1,000,000 B.C. Avengers, seen above. Marvel Legacy #1 is due out on shelves September 27.
Goddangspoliers!!! 😡😡-presumably one of the characters from Planet Hulk, I'm gonna say Calera or Hulk's son, because for some reason they didn't die, it's a comic book twist
-gee who the fuck could it be (it's Thanos/The Black Order)
-who gives a fuck about a nazi
-at the end of Aaron's Thor run
-because Weapon X
-time bullshit means Tony isn't dead anymore
THERE, I SAVED Y'ALL ABOUT A YEAR'S WORTH OF MARVEL COMIC BOOKS, GO TO HELL
