Birds of Prey is definitely getting better. Christy Mary is a good if not a great writer. I'd suggest picking up a one off issue to check it out; I believe the next issue is a one shit crossover with Talon.
Edit: The Talon crossover sounds interesting, Calvin Rose is bring forced to go after Strix (the BoP Talon).

Just Supergirl #21 for me this week. I've got a lot to catch up on.
Also, I don't know if anyone read DC Universe Presents #17 when that came out, but it almost read like Hawkguy-lite with the fake foreign language translations. It was kinda fun though, so i'll take that over bad grimdark any day. Ricken should get more work, too; she's pretty good.

guys...
I just read GL:NG #21 - AND DAMN IF THIS BOOK IS NOT THE BEST ONE OF THE GL SEMI-RELAUNCH.
Jordan and Walker outshine the efforts by the other two new GL teams with ease. Spot on dialog, great battles, creative use of powers, Carol has a much more unique voice than she had before.
And hey only a few hours till i can get the glourious Avengers goodness

I agree. It needs to be put down.
So happy to see
back in his book. Last month's WW centric story was such a let down.
Vibe was stellar again this month, I'm gonna miss this book when it's inevitably cancelled.
Animal Man was solid, Lemire introduced a new creeptastic villain and put in motion an arc that should surprise no one.

Add spectacular to that list. my eyes roll into the back of my head whenever i try to read it. I seriously admire you folk who have hung in there as long as you have.

I don't know if it's part of the sale, or if others will agree with me, BUT I love the whole arc of Death of Superman, Funeral for a Friend, and Return of Superman. The stories are almost 20 years old, but I still find them enjoyable.
*edit*
Ohh I'm also going to add and I don't know if this is digital or available as part of the sale, but Byrne's 86 Superman reboot Man of Steel is good too.

I agree, these Wonder Woman side stories are getting old. The book has a main character. USE IT.

I really wish the battle for the greek god throne story line would end soon. Almost 2 years lets do something else.

All caught up on Morning Glories through issue #27, yep, i read things and i fully understand and remember everything that has happened from issue 1-27. All of it.
But just to be clear
But just to be clear
that time travel stuff...so the kids on a mission were sent before hunter/casey/jade/ike? And they were all sent to the future...and then the past...and then the current....or...things. Yeah. And when does young Hodge kill Vanessa?
lol no
so...age of ultron 10
Based on the set-up that they had to kill one of the wolverines, don't they have to kill Sue and Wolverine now? They are in a reality where Ultron never conquered earth..so there's a Sue and Wolverine running around that never lived through that too....
Also, this means wolverine can be killed! They should have just had a series where Sue and 2x Wolverine live as hermits in the savage land making babies and riding dinosaurs.

Techincally no-you can see
When they return and hug on that rooftop-reality appears to be overwriting itself-and then it shatters-I think their "reality" is the one that breaks the mutli-verse.
The ramifications could have been set up in the first 3-5 pages of whatever series is actually going to deal with this fallout. So many ongoing stories in regular books are dealing with stuff that could have lead this same outcome. Such a tacked on ending to a pointless series.
ah but they didn't know that when they killed one of the wolverines. they should have all committed suicide at that point.

You mean the super secret ending that no one could guess
which had been outed in the press before the story actually went anywhere
First time I've rated a book a 1 on Comixology; so glad Bendis is off Avengers.
I love how shameless Marvel has gotten with their in-house ads in event books like AoU #10.
Earth shattering ramification #1!!! (next page is a solicit for a mini that will deal with said ramification)
story continues with earth shattering ramification #2!!! (next page is a solicit for a mini that will deal with said ramification)
It's like the comic book equivalent of that NPC in Dragon Age Origins that tried to sell you DLC in game.

Revealing Angela before the book. Came out seems like a mistake.
Why not have an awesome reveal to drive sales instead of giving it away for free
Why not have an awesome reveal to drive sales instead of giving it away for free
That reveal was probably the day after they decided to shoehorn Angela into the book. Leaving her out would have changed zero things.
Actually, I wonder if that announcement was to string people along, and keep sales up. They make a big deal about this character entering the Marvel U in Age of Ultron. In response, we as readers assume the story is going to be a big deal with some master plan beyond raiding crackhouses and killing characters like taskmaster for zero reason.
That, or Bendis was trying to be meta. Ultron hates humans so much that his final revenge is unleashing the Age of Ultron series on us.

The ramifications is they made alot of people buy a ten issue
Edit: Don't think it's a spoiler, but just in case.
DING DING DING.
Welcome to all events ever. ;P
redux of Chaos War.

I gave Final Crisis similar marks when I wrote there so maybe it is.
WTF, spoilers much? I get that you hate Marvel books but I didn't go around spoiling DC books just because I don't read them.

But Final Crisis is GODLIKE
Other than the fact that you don't really need to read either series to "get" Marvel's newest status quo, I don't really see how that statement counts as spoilers.

I actually don't hate Marvel. I'm just indifferent. As I've mentioned in previous posts, my roomate actually gets Marvel books so I read some of them to stay informed. And I edited my post for the potential that it could be seen as a spoiler, (I don't think it is but no sense risking it), I was specifically referring to the fact that very few event books actually "shake up" the status quo. I'd say AvX is a good example of one that actually *sort* of did, insofar as it changed how alot of characters treat each other at the very least.

I see. I thought you meant dead people come back to life at the end.
I only read the Ambush Bug feature. Sometimes Calendar Man has good stuff. I'm just glad to see them getting work, tbh.
Wish G'nort had done better with his audition.

Age of Ultron seems so... pointless. I don't understand what happened.
or something? I mean, that's the only thing I can think of to have it make any damn sense.
Are all the universes one now
I don't know if that was the goal when the story was first conceived, but I'm pretty sure that'll be the outcome.
I'm thinking yes, especially in the wake of the
Ultimates vs 616 crossover
616 Captain America beat the shit out of that bigoted Ultimate asshole President Cap (just like how 50's Cap got his ass handed to him by Bucky).

I actually had high hopes for the Angela reveal. Aince Quesada said they were going to do it in a way like they Cap back in the 60s. Coulda fooled me.
AoU spoilers/conjecture:
Bleeding Cool is suggesting that the Spider-Man in Mighty Avengers could actually be Miles, with him as the only survivor of the Ultimate Universe after the Hunger Mini Series. I don't know if that will happen, but between the outcome of AoU and the announcement that a sequel to Spider-men is happening, I think Miles will end up in 616, and they will shutter the Ultimate line. Everything other than Ultimate Comics Spider-man is selling outside the Top 100 now. Basically cancellation sales.
I'd actually be okay with Miles surviving. He's the best thing to come out of the Ultimate universe in ages, and I could use an alternative to SpOck.
That would be a hell of a costume change. Personally I don't see it, but I wouldn't mind
folding him into this universe

I hope this doesn't mean we loose the ensemble cast of characters like Ultimate Gwen, Ganke, and Jessica Drew. The side characters make Ultimate Spider-ma as enjoyable as the main protagonist

Doesn't 616 miles exist ?
Not that we know of.
Ending of Spider-Men indicated that he does, though it's not clear when that'll be picked up on just yet.
