I love how you throw out a bunch of plausible books (especially the Gates Shazam) and then end with Lagoon Boy. Never change Rafa, never change.

The last issue had a rundown of the entire series done in a few pages via cutesy cartoony versions of the characters. It was much more coherent than the entire series has been thus far.

No one would buy a Lagoon Boy comic.

Incoming noob questions:
1) Where is the best place to track comic news / release dates?
2) Is there an easy / best way to track your pick lists each week?
3) Where is the best place to buy back issues?
4) Of the new 52, what are the current ones worth following (I am reading Batman, and I just picked up Superman Unchained #1).

oh hey, someone is leaking Age of Ultron #10 where you'd expect .
Hunger is exactly what you'd expect it to be if you've been reading recent solicits closely:
Hunger is exactly what you'd expect it to be if you've been reading recent solicits closely:
616 Galactus is transported to the Ultimate Universe. Presumably, this is tied closely to Fialkov's Ultimates Disassembled arc and the appearance of a very 616-looking Ultimate Kang, and may well lead to the permanent end of at least two-thirds of the current Ultimate line.

It's probably terrible. Just like the rest of the series.

It's a Bendis event, so as long as I don't go into details, I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that there's a horribly unsatisfying deus ex machina involved.

What I love about this is that she comes off as being angry about the jump to Marvel and just wants to go back to Image.
yknow, i would be hella fucking hyped if this somehow unlocked the ultraverse and the marvelman family in the process

electric red and blue? nice
Didn't realise the entire issue was leaked.
Wow, that was an anticlimax. Love how the OMFG UNGUESSABLE ENDING that Bendis kept hinting at was in fact Angela, and that was revealed weeks ago. Galactus being transported to the Ultimate universe could be pretty cool, especially with the new creative team on Ultimates.
Really disappointing event overall, the entire "Age of Morgan Le Fey" stuff in the second half of the series just felt utterly pointless and out of place. I'd really have liked to have seen AoU as a proper event last year when it was meant to, maybe things would have been fleshed out more with multiple tie-ins.

I've enjoyed Animal Man and Swamp Thing (best read together) as well as I was very surprised with Justice League Dark. I also really liked Red Lanterns (I'm one of few though) and Green Lantern is fun too. Dial H is the fuckin bomb, and Earth 2 was some fun ass shit and still is. I had issues with keeping the bat-titles straight in my brain so they didn't work out so well for me. I'm sittin on a stack of Wonder Woman and I'm ready to dive in, but I haven't tried it yet.

Read the first three trades, realized it wasn't going anywhere (or at the very least taking too long to get there) and dropped it.
i don't know if Spencer can write a book that's so above it all for 20 issues without me wanting to be above it too.

It's actually pretty crazy how consistent the sales of Red Lanterns has been. Its been between 33-36k for like, ever.

Yeeeeah I'm not alone!
I admit I love all the different Lantern Corps. I find it all fascinating and I enjoy reading anything related to them. Red's been a sort of guilty pleasure but I feel it has its own story worth telling and I'm glad it exists.
I don't feel AS strongly about Blue or Violet (Star Sapphire).
GrandHarrier

Oh it's absolutely been a guilty pleasure book. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to hold it up as some sort of gold standard that everyone should read; Pretty much only those already invested in the Lanternverse should have it on their pull list. I don't pull it for the characters; Atrocitus is fine, Bleez can be amusing, Dex-Starr is boss, Rankorr has potential, the other guys whatever-the-eff, I just like seeing dudes (and dudettes) spew acid blood on people and generally fuck shit up. I'd *like* it to become something that just focuses on bad people doing bad things for good reasons, just give me one offs where they go and exact twilight zone style vengeance on someone. Let me see bad people get messed up for being assholes. Give me Space Punishers in Space.
I'll admit, I'd be mildly curious for the other Lantern Corps; I don't think they can support their own books, but an anthology style could be great. Give me the viewpoint of the Indigo Tribe, give me a Blue/Green Lantern team up. Could be great.

Let's be honest. After 25 issues, with the first half of the series done, we still have no idea what's going on. Spencer has all these plot points floating around, and when it does come time for him to connect the dots, he's going to do it with some deus ex machina metaphysical bullshit.

I did enjoy early on Atrocitus realizing he may have fucked up with what he did for Bleez, and I think that was a fun motivator in the beginning.
I also love old Punisher books so I think that really speaks to why I enjoy RL
Atrocitus is a pretty interesting character in the midst of all the blood spewing, I'm glad they're working to develop him.And my goodness I love it when 'normal people' end up with a Red ring.
