#18 or #28 are probably the best ones. #18 picks up after the H'el stuff and #28 is the start of the Red Lantern Supergirl arc.

Guy I talked to on Free Comic Book day who worked at the shop that talked to Brian Azzerelo said his pitch to DC for Catwoman was to bring her off the top of the fence and really explore the villain side of her.
#28+ is what I'm really looking forward to. Should I be reading Red Lanterns at the same time?

Yes, but only because Red Lanterns is awesome by itself.

Had a good, exhausting time at Special Edition NYC today. Ended up not sleeping last night and then getting on the train at 5:30 so I could get there in time to use my 1/2 hour extra floor time with the VIP pass.
Went to both the DC Art Masters and Marvel's New Young Guns panels. Both were a lot of fun and ended up with Tony Daniel, Francis Manapul, and Joe Prado giving out some pretty detailed sketches for free when people answered questions about things said earlier in the panel.
Definitely a much less crowded, more relaxed show than NYCC. Everyone was super friendly even with the long lines for Allred,Simone,Manapul, and Daniel. Really hoping ticket sales were good enough to make this an annual thing. They also sold a ton of NYCC tickets to badge holders today so if you want a 4 day pass this year I'd go for it on Wednesday when they go on sale to the public.
Had a shot at a Francavilla commission but couldn't get myself to pull the trigger on spending 300. Picked up my Gabriel Hardman commission (ended up having a choice between two Caps but chose the one he posted earlier in the week.) and got a Psylocke sketch from Kristafer Anka and a quick & dirty one from Manapul...surprised he was doing them with how much traffic he had going through plus his full commissions.
Got a bunch of prints from David Mack, Simone Bianchi,Clay Mann, and Francis Manapul (Seemed like a solid 90 percent bought that same combination of prints).A sketchbook from Emmanuella Lupacchino, a Sufficiently Remarkable book from Maki Naro and Captain America: The Winter Soldier Collection.
Also got signatures from Allred on Silver Surfer, Gail Simone on Bombshells variant Batgirl and Red Sonja, and Tony Daniel and Lupacchino on the Bombshells variant Superman/Wonder Woman.
Lost track of time and didn't get to go over to Marcio Takara, Mike Del Mundo, or Ryan Stegman, hopefully they'll be back for NYCC.

Lovely pickups you got there! They'll look great framed.
Never heard of Emanuela Lupacchino but she draws a really nice Zatanna

Continuing my fine tradition of peddling smut, here is today's reason for Messi to read the Legion: Tasmia Malloy of Talon VIII, aka Shadow Lass whose powers include Darkness Manipulation and ridiculous outfits, as well as knowing what's up with Mon-El, except when she doesn't.

Good to see you appreciating some actually good comics.

That was kind of mean. Messi likes good comics. There's just one shitty book he can't let go of.
Can you shoot me a tweet or PM if C2G has any of the sweet Bryan Lee O'Malley variant covers for Wicked + Divine?
For some reason I love perms in comics. When they're drawn well they look so organic.

Messi I can't wait to share some of the Legion of Substitute Heroes and Legion Rejects with you. I can do this for a very long time. You will submit.
Yeah? You like to imagine the character, in their down time, taking the opportunity to style their hair just right? I will agree that I have a soft spot for curly haired Wonder Woman, as an example.
Infinity Bruh and the Forever Holmes, plz. And yeah I found myself in the same boat as you. Expected to be "meh" and kinda dug it.

You have still failed to tell me what book to read any of this stuff.
Yes! I wonder who styles her hair? Her loose curls looks nice but she's got a whole lot of fried hair at the end. She must not be using heat protector.
Join the club, Messi. I spent the past 20 minutes on Amazon trying to find out what the name of the book is.

I'd recommend Legion of Superheroes: Teenage Revolution by Mark Waid. Or Legion Secret Origin. Or Legion Lost (not the New 52 version although I like that). Or Elseworlds: Superboys Legion. That's going to be the most accessible to get a taste.
If you go the Mark Waid route, the trades are:
Teenage Revolution
Death of a Dream
Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes: Strange Visitor From Another Century
Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes: Adult Education
Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes: Dominator War
Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes: The Quest For Cosmic Boy
You get one shot at this man. ONE SHOT. Make it count.
I have just been poking around the Facebook of the comic store I go to while in the USA (Im going in 3 weeks, yippee
) and I see that they have the sideshow premium format Harley. Shit. if it is there when I arrive im not sure I would be able to resist. :\Korupt, you have seen it in person is it fairly big?
Yo Messi give Transformers Windblade a read, the art'd appeal to you and it has some decent characterization
Oooooh that looks interesting.

'Suck it Granpa!'
Because there are like 50 Legion books and no standouts. I ain't got time for that.

I am in love with Wonder Woman's bombshell costume. I wish they would use it a bit in the regular books.

I was thinking about this series recently while sorting out my boxes and tbh it really wasn't very good. It was a whodunit without any decent clues, and there are a lot of terrible tangents and sidesteps. It's notable for being one of the first places Rucka's checkmate shows up in, but I don't think I would read it again.
You Motherfucker take those tomes out of that bin.

I'm thinking about picking up that Poison Ivy Cover Girl statue but I dunno. I'm not talking about the bombshell statue, I'm getting that print. I'm talking about this:
This figure is delish.
One variant I wish I could have or get a print of is this
The one and only bombshell variant I picked up so far. Haha

you guys are too much sometimes lol
I remembered the new Sex Criminals is this week, so excited for that and Wicked + Divine
Yeah, the art fell completely flat for me also. Not all that interested in Silver Surfer as a character either. Atleast not in a solo book.

Justice League United was a delight! Lovely art. Although, I have to say, the Supergirl stuff was a little lolarious. I mean, really... ?
Messi is my Brother from another Mother.
She heard them from across the Galaxy? In space? Mmm. That's some golden age bullshit right there.

Justice League United # 2 decided to play the exposition game, and it lost. I don't give a shit about Rann and Thanagar's decades old wars and the dna-baby they made and blahblahblah. Get back to Animal Man punching people in the face using gorilla powers and Adam Strange jetpacking himself into trees because he's a dope.

I can see that. I can totally see that. But I still enjoyed it.
I still loved it! Needed way more Martian Manhunter x Stargirl though.
