You could be from the past, present, or future and all of that would still be true.

I'm sold. Tell us more future Messi!
It wouldn't be true in the past. Well, certainly not in regards to the Legion.
More people have read it than have even heard of Remender. Indisputable fact.
DC, listen to me for a moment. I don't ask for much, you have done right by me by choosing to release a Harley Quinn 1-8 Hardcover. But I have to ask for one thing. Please don't use the cover from the first issue #1 as the trade cover. It's easily the worst cover so far. Not the biggest fan of the #0 cover either to be honest. Don't fuck it up.
Anyone?

I'm a sucker for Batman and I fear you're going to bankrupt me. I'm okay with this.
I completely forgot that Manapul was drawing this book! It's only a few issues in, no?

Going through a lot of older stuff right now, some of it is pretty good and has held up well. Long Halloween is my favorite Batman story so far (Killing Joke was also good, though I'm divided on revealing the joker's origins, I prefer to think he made it up), not sure when I'll tackle Knightfall, super long and super expensive. Judas Contract was good as well.

If you're a sucker for Batman, seriously, check out Tomasi and Gleason's Batman and Robin. It's gets to the emotional core of Batman and his current family, and has some damn fine character moments. Messi and I are agreeing, so you should just but the entire series because the fates have aligned.
Yeah. One of my favourites. Even if it is all quite samey, I just can't get enough. I wish more of it was available in an officially translated capacity, maybe in some nice hardcover omnibuses. Surprised we even got all of Cross Game.

Yeah run started at #30. #32 should be out this month. Story's alright too but i don't think anyone's buying it for that alone

it's standalone in the sense that it stands alone in its own supremely pungent turds.

Can someone explain Infinity Man and the Forever People and why I should or should not be excited for it next week?
Well then, I did it. Vol. 1 and 2 of Tales of the TMNT, Vol. 5-8 of TMNT Classics, Vol. 8 of the TMNT ongoing, the annual, the second half of Immortal Iron Fist, and the Wolverine and the X-men Omnibus. At least that wraps up Turtles for a bit (not getting into Adventures right now, leaving the Vol. 2 Tales stuff for the when the Vol. 2 Classics stuff is done). Probably a tad irresponsible, but oh well. At least I can justify it since Wolverine and the X-men was on sale for being new. That's going to be a serious InStockTrades box, though, that's for sure.
Yeah, I would love Touch (top 10 dead or alive) or Rough or even Katsu to come over here. I'm usually not too bothered about sports comics except Takehiko Inoue's basketball stuff or romance comics but I love Adachi (except his weird pseudo-incest manga, I really don't get his obsession with that shit)

illegal immigrants are stealing our air
original sin 3 wow
it was hinted at though when the avengers kids saw bucky in Ultron War they spoke about how they should kill him then for what he would do in the future..... I guess this is what they were speaking about
I don't even really like Baseball, but for a time reading Touch got me into it. And yeah the less said about the Miyuki-type work the better. It's gotta be Touch for me, I think. It was my intro to his work way back. Would love to have that on my shelf.
Mix might be the closest we get though
and that's a long shot. I guess it'd need to do a Cross Game to stand a chance.Freezasaurus

Original Sin 3 was like omgwut? Black Widow was really good, too.

I LOVE The Long Halloween. It was one of my first Batman comics (my brother had a copy of it) and I really got into the whole year-long story and everything. I'm a big fan of Tim Sale's art too, so that helps! I liked Dark Victory a lot too.
Was at work and didn't get a chance to read any of my books. Time to read New Warriors!

My reviews:
The Wake #9
Honestly, this series didn't grab me much. I'm just running on inertia at this point.
The Punisher #6
I still like this series a lot, but
made it feel thoroughly anti-climactic.
Frank's kind of filled with self-doubt. I think he's having a mid-life crisis. It's good that the next issue is two weeks away. I wonder if it picks up from the cliffhanger or it's a one-off tale. Great art this issue, as usual. Very blue.
Black Widow #7
Natasha, you need to start having some fun. You lead a very depressing life. Noto's art is great, but Natasha's constant funereal monologues kinda makes her lose the edge. Good that Isaiah had some characterization in this one.
Southern Bastards #2
Great issue. The final moments in this issue were incredibly powerful. Earl continues to be an intriguing protagonist, an old man who just can't keep a lid on the rage that lies deep in his art. The artwork is gloriously messy too. The colour makes everything feel like a memory, and the memory is fading. And the introduction to Boss was interesting. It's low-key, but it feels charged.
American Vampire: Second Cycle #3
Another good issue. The Grey Trader is a supremely creepy villain for sure. Art was beautiful, Albuquerque nails it as usual.
Superior Foes of Spider-Man #12
After the last couple of filler issues, this one was fantastic! So goddamn funny. I just can't get enough of Fred's asshole antics. I'm gonna be so sad when this series ends.
Secret Avengers #2
Really hilarious issue. This book might scratch the comedy itch that Hawkeye has stopped scratching. Very fun, zany stuff. MODOK is great.
Moon Knight #4
God, what a splendid issue. Ellis and Shavley are so good here. The art, the colour, the writing, all of it fuses so beautifully. The final line is genuinely haunting...
The way Ellis writes Specter is amazing. It truly feels like an engaging, hypnotizing journey into the darkness with this poetic madman. And there's only two issues left with this team
I do not envy Wood. There's no way he can match up with what Ellis has done.
TLDR:
Punisher 6: Good, but anti-climactic. Cliffhanger.
Black Widow 7: Starting to just be a bummer. Come on, Nat. Try being happy or something.
Southern Bastards 2: Raw and powerful. Great final moments.
Moon Knight 4: Splendid, hypnotic, dreamlike wonder.
Secret Avengers 2: Zany fun!
Superior Foes of Spider-Man 12: Zany fun!
The Wake 9: Meh
American Vampire: Second Cycle 3: Pretty good and creepy!

A sign of the divine? Also, does anyone think Earl is speaking to someone who is dead on the phone? Maybe his wife passed away and he just speaks to her cause of his grief?
Moon Knight 4: Splendid, hypnotic, dreamlike wonder.
Secret Avengers 2: Zany fun!
Superior Foes of Spider-Man 12: Zany fun!

Moon Knight is a mad, beautiful, hypnotic sojourn into the world of a man whose mind has been left ripped apart by an alien and esoteric entity.
Can this Wood guy do that? Can he?!

One of these days I'll be arsed to read the series :V
Speaking of which I think a re-read of Christopher Priest's B. Panther run is in order. Just wish it actually put more focus on B. Panther himself than being narrated by whitey whatshisface and having to hear his impressions etc.

Cyclops #2
You know what? I'ma let you guys tackle this...
The last three quotes may or may not have been taken out of context. <3 u Messi
Comparable to Schindler's List.
Comic of the decade.
Advanced literature class material.
Steller.
Best GOTG comic.
umm, Parallax loves kid cyclops.
Erased all doubts.
DAT Hep fever.
Goodness.
Best book of our time.
He loves it!
If these guys aren't convincing you to read Cyclops, then I don't know what will. Maybe a free code?
If anyone wants the Marvel digital code for Cyclops #2, hollatchaboy by quoting/posting in this thread saying so.

Put this in the next review, Bii
So is anyone else reading New Warriors? Cause this new issue was great. The dialogue was perfect and this issue was everything I was hoping for with this series. Kaine and Aracely continue to be the stars of the series, it's such a fun comic and it made me so happy. Can not wait for the next issue, I loved this one so much.

Aren't you sporting a Hawkbro series avatar? That comic which has huge month gaps between issues as opposed to the X-Books that has 2 books published each week at least?
