BC: Aaron and Ribic to take over Avengers post-Legacy.
Since 2018 is supposed to be a Avengers heavy year due to the movie with Thanos etc this makes sense even if it's a bit boring. Waid, Bendis and Aaron are their biggest names.

I've been seeing it a lot on amazon and that's all I could think about. Wierd to have a supervillian give up that life and become a vicar.

That is a solid team, but not enough to drag me in.
I'm in for anything either of those guys do, especially when they're together.

BC: Spencer rumored to join ASM. Even BC are going "No way" on this.

I don't trust Spencer writing comics after Secret Empire.

Walking Dead 169: Rick is fucking savage goddamn.
Here we go with this mutiny shit, right when the community is rebuilding. Though Kirkman never does the obvious thing so I'm guessing Dwight backs down at least for now (but then again, that would be too obvious :O). And man that pork and beans stuff with Negan was hilarious so I hope he stays around for the rest of the book even if it's just for silly one-off scenes like this.
There is 0% chance this happens. Marvel would never risk messing up their best selling book's sales by switching writers.
Those four issues are gonna be some bomb-ass comics.

I'm hyped for Aaron/Ribic, but I can't find the lie.

Jesus. Extraordinary X-Men #17 is on MU this week, and what an gut punching emotional issue. Refresher if necessary:
Lemire is a good writer, yow. I don't know what the consensus was on XvI (it's just getting underway on MU) I assume everyone hated it like most events these days, but Lemire is certainly holding up his end judging by the issue I just read.
9 year old mutant girl dies of X-Pox at X-Haven in Limbo as Storm prepares for war. Storm (the girl's hero and idol) makes her an X-Man on her death bed.

The usual Marvel "best selling collections" sale and a Star Wars one on CMX. If you took part in the Amazon cheap weekend there's probably nothing for you here.

Ugh. I don't want Spencer on ASM. Please no.
(Actually, when the day comes that Slott is finally done, I want Peter David to finally get a long run on ASM.)

I kind of have a feeling in my gut that Aaron on a team book at the core of Marvel is not necessarily the best fit for his strengths, buuuuut. It's Aaron. With Ribic. So I'll read it.
Fucking read Mother Panic! Everyone!
Why should I read it?

Spent the weekend in a cabin on the lake with some friends. Read a bit of GwenPool, which is an excellent comic (god bless Gurihiru) and played a bunch of Secret Hitler, which is an excellent board game.

Maybe everyone should just stop releasing so many comics so I could buy them all.
Because it's a great comic book.
But what makes it good?

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I actually need to do this because I have the last 4 issues sitting here unread. Not even sure if I should keep picking it up or not.
Enticing art and compelling story.

Batman 23?
It's just a really phenomenal, done in one story that subverts the usual "you're weird but let's team up" with a dickknocker of a devastating finish where nothing is resolved. Also, Alfred is sweeping up after Swamp Thing.
Guardians #5?
You'll have to wait until Friday. No freebies!

Has anyone ordered (or picked up) the Hickman omni?
Once you have it, can you please post the table of contents page and maybe also check if all the "previously in Avengers..." pages, "characters in this issue" pages and the credits pages are still present at the start of each issue?

Would that more professional critics would use the term "dickknocker".

Not trying to be a dick but this kind of falls in line with me saying it's mostly just fan service. Lol

Any good DC or Marvel comic is technically fan service lmao

Resigned to DC never reprinting Starman Omnibus #3 I just cracked and bought all the collected issues individually off Ebay. That gap on my bookcase is going to aggravate my OCD something fierce.

That's a synopsis, yes. But Jodi Foster is not in this comic.
RepairmanJack

That's completely belittling the point as if you can just say that whenever the claim comes up. Just because of technicality doesn't mean the argument is invalid. Without the fan service and love behind the character and team up Batman 23 is just a dumb story that pieced together just to deliver said fan service.
But what is it about
A mother who panics when she realizes she's raising her family in the cesspool that is Gotham City. It's a post structuralist critique on urban blight, gentrification, and parenting.

I thought it was about young men from broken homes who lead double lives out in the city at night, and the pervasive high-level fear that their sole parent is going to find out about their "alter egos". It's using superheroes as a metaphor for homosexuality, and really questions whether a face or a mask is a better window into a person's soul.
Or was it about Tipper Gore's reaction to Glenn Danzig's hit single? I can't remember.

It is the same creative teams, they're just being moved around if these rumors are true.
That sounds like Super Friends to me.

Bought the first issues of the all the Young Animal series to check them out, and I also picked up a few number 1s in that Marvel sale and the rest of Gillen's Darth Vader.
I don't know why I do this to myself. My backlog is crazy already.
This is an important question.

Is Lady Thor still going to have the same team?

Probably. Can't see Aaron leaving her in her final act.
Wouldn't be surprised if most of these switches are for the next 2018 relaunch Alonso already mentioned.
