Nope. The rest of the line is pretty dreadful these days.

Post-Ultimatum Ultimate X-Men is a good read.

One of my favorite covers ever. Don't even know the context and don't really care.
I've always heard good things about Ultimate Fantastic Four that makes me really curious.

Need some suggestions ComicsGAF. Any good cyberpunk stories? I'm open to just about any suggestions. I really like fantasy/scifi hybrids, think mystical+technology, technomancy. The more magic the better. Bonus points if it's on Comixology Unlimited.
I started reading Rai (thanks to the Valiant OT) and it's not far off from what I'm looking for. If that helps narrow it down a bit.

East of West (definitely). Lazarus (more sci-fi and towards the Rai end). Maybe Zero (it's... erm...trippy towards the end). The first trade of Roche Limit (it goes to hell after that, but the first trade is self contained). Aphrodite IX.
I think there's one trade of a few of those on CMXU.

Thx. Wait, it's $10 a month? O dam.
Hmm. Might just open my comics box in the storage instead. >.>

It's cheaper if you pay for a year, especially when there's a sale, my dog.

I think the first Deus Ex Human Revolution comic was pretty good. Bit hard to get though, I think.
I laughed.

I figured I'd be the only one amused. Glad to see that's not the case.

I am excited to buy way too many DC comics when I get home tonight, but I'm also excited for the concert I'm seeing in a few moments. I came to see this IDM/Experimental Black Metal hybrid band I love, but there is also a Metal Idol group playing before them that I've never seen before. Should be very interesting at least.

I literally haven't read in since release but I really liked Surrogates way back when. Not so much the movie they made lol
Is it Babymetal? If it's not, it should be. Pray to the fox God!

Plastic Man in Dark Matter: Fuck yeah!
DC BOGO: Oh god I'll be broke.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I've got a lot of reading to do now. I know you all get asked to do it all the time, so sorry to be a bother.
Really excited to delve into the Image stuff, Mindwipe. Already downloaded the first trades of most of those.

Lol I can barely remember the details, just that every change they made from the book seemed to actively work against or undermine what the comic was trying to say or get you to think about. Really dumb stuff. Good for Venditti I guess though.

I think Wild Storm has become one of my favorite books going. Consistent quality.

There were strobelights so I couldn't see in the moshpit and got punched in the face. Weeeee
I got to see Babymetal at Tokyo Dome for free last year, though.
Nah. It's Necronomidol.

TBH I think the one thing ComicGAF agrees on universally is we all like writing lists of recommendations so we look all worldly and well read and shit.
Glad Soule us bringing it. I've enjoyed his other stuff. I'm liking Blue too but I'd agree that none of them are really doing anything interesting.

I don't understand what you said as it wasn't in the form of a list.
Here is a couple more. There is an alt mask part.

I think a lot of people would be happy with a character that just made an apparent win Injustice 2 #15.
Plastic Man, by way of the happy DiCaprio meme.

Guys don't do this to me, don't build my hopes up for a good x book again unless you mean it ha
Imagine an X-Men book, but instead of being about the shitty O5 and their quest for a payoff on whatever Bendis was thinking that one time or being shit or not living up to its very cool lineup, it's got good characters and it's good and also it looks good.
That's Astonishing X-Men.
Haha. Should've mentioned I haven't actually read that Astonishing #1 yet. I love my x-boys and girls so I'll give you an honest opinion when I read it. I did have high hopes though.

The Wild Storm #6: That opening fight sequence.
Davis-Hunt is so damn impressive with his panel layouts and pacing.
I wonder why Ellis calls this an arc. Sure, there is a new status quo (
), but mostly it just feels like a straight continuation into the next issue.
Also, that page with Adrianna!

It is great to see all the nuances in the decision making and interactions (

Does anyone know is Ei8ht was supposed to have a sequel? CMX and other places list it as being the first volume.
Yep, cant wait to see where this madness ends.

Looks like a new version of Legion's Phantom Girl?
X-Men Blue is decent to good. Not feeling gold.

How can we forget about the abusive wife beater, Hank Pym.
The asshole tortured his wife with a swarm of ants and pesticide.
I wouldn't get too attached to the art.
Just got the last chapter to read, it's really damn good so far, but then again, when isn't it when those two team up? Thought the 'Noir' part was just there because it was the black and white edition, but this is definitely a noir story. The way Russo draws light, especially in some scenes that are just filled with rain, is really beautiful.

Finally got around to read Gotham By Gaslight. Pretty cool book. It didn't bowl me over, Augustyn is quite wordy and the reveal was kind of easy to call but there's quite a few good twists and wrinkles on the way there that put a good use to the time period and the novelty of a Victorian era Batman & Gotham. The wordiness does suit the style of book and time setting too, even if I didn't love it. Super strange to see Mignola work not colored by Dave Stewart but it's strong stuff. Even back then he had the ability to set a tone and mood. The smokey dirty industrial streets are really great, it's hard not to imagine what a Bat book under his pen would look like now.

I don't even know if I want to do this though. I just don't have enough Marvel comics I am reading to justify this.
That code has to be trolling at this stage
Bleeding Cool leading with a very big story spoiler about the identity of Mr Oz if people are trying to avoid it.
And on a "this is what we've heard is going to happen genuinely in advance" rather than "here's something given away in next week's issue" level.
I think it sounds plausible enough, and I think it's pretty good if true. But I guess we'll see.

Sounds a lot better than any theories I've heard to this point. Not sure if the Red Robin/Hope aspect makes sense tho.
