This is what's known as... Truth.
I have absolutely nothing against the big two. I love them. I remember being very fatigued by both Blackest Night and Seige that I basically stopped reading comics all together. I haven't really read a comic at all from that point until now. Except from a spare few...I have read the first 10 issues of Hawkeye...
I wanted to get back into Comics before I went to SDCC next month and actually be able to interact with the creators...Last year when I went it was basically just me going 'Cool...who's that?'...I don't want to be that guy again.

I gotchu. It's easy to get burned out if you try to keep up with events-- I usually ignore them myself.
It helps that a lot of Image books are awesome. Makes it easy to forget about Marvel/DC sometimes
I nominate ReAxion to be the sacrifice

Not feeling that tiled floor. Bii set a high standard and you aren't keeping up. Look forward to your impressions. In fact, other people's impressions would be great. Why is this book good? Specifics. Spoilers where appropriate.

That cover is so good.

Does the solicit interest you at all or does the premise of the book intrigue you? If it does then that's your first step. If you can't get past that step, then the book might not be for you. A good first issue is going to try and hook you into the world and the characters but also leave enough mystery that you want to come back. That is what this issue does perfectly. There is still a shit ton of mystery and it could end up being stupid. But as a first issue, it was perfect.

I have Zero #1 if you never got that you can have.
Is it the Chris Burnham cover?
No smack talking. Was just curious how short she really was. Kind of like how the Hobbits are portrayed in the LOTR movie trilogy. Sometimes they're "normal-sized" and other times they're small, especially whenever Gandalf is on a scene with them.
Like pulling off a band aid. Just keep hitting confirm and it doesn't feel like real money.
Can you guys send me some food please
Umm, wow. 79 books?! That's a few months' worth of books for me. Your backlog is going to be insane.

Actually I'm fairly neutral about the whole affair. What interests me is other peoples interest in the book. It's why I got Deadly Class, and despite my issues with the main character, I've been enjoying it.
That's the regular cover, thanks but no thanks. I only get floppies if they have cool variants.

Are you willing the sacrifice the lamps in your house?

Title belt for what? We've all been hyped for WicDiv since it was announced.

Yeah but it made ReAxion change their avatar. Not even Messi reps Harley anymore.
Also, the news that Infinite Crisis was adding Supergirl got me hyped. But of course they didn't have it in yet. So played another match as mah boy Billy and rekt.
I keep meaning to change my avatar to something MP based but am too lazy.
Thought I would give ya'll a break and my pee gee is cute.
Come back to me when you buy 79 issues of Wicked and the Devine. I won't expect you back because it will get canned a long time before that. Just like Young Avengers.
I meant to do this awhile ago, actually
Love of your love.
If I have to!
Original Sin #4
There are a lot of spoilers in this book; it was difficult for me to take pictures of scenes that didn't have anything or at least nothing too big. Just when you thought the twist has come and gone, there's another one on the last page. I forget who it was but whoever said it was
was correct. I'm curious how all of this will play out. I absolutely love Rocket Raccoon's appearance. The wait for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie feels so far away (two months!).
Anyone wants the Marvel digital code to Original Sin #4, first person to reply in this thread requesting so will get my PM.

a Life Model Decoy and not the actual Nick Fury

A picture on your table of a picture on the carpet... Bii, you're going too deep. You won't be able to find your way back if you keep this up.
Doesn't have to be a book.
I believe your love for statues has no bounds.

It's funny how we all definitely have our go-to book to hype in here lol.
Messi with Harley and Catwoman
Tim with MP and Zero.
Korupt with Batman
Harrier with Legion related books
I don't even think I can pin point myself since I read so much and get excited about it all. Rat Queens?

Disappointed at the lack of white space in this review, Bii
Quality has definitely slipped in the past few reviews.

Futures End just had it's best issue yet. Starting to find its place.
I don't know man, that Punisher/Rocket interaction was pretty much worth the price of admission
My thoughts on OS4
Holy shit. This book. THIS BOOK. I love it so much.
I don't like how Bucky was handled in Original Sin #4, I get that he was pissed at everyone, but Aaron wrote him a little too aggressive for my tastes (I know he can be a hardass to everyone except Steve and Natasha). Not a ton happened until the crazy end, that was interesting though. I still hope for Winter Soldier to be treated right by a good writer someday.
So if true, could this mean that

An older version of the "real" Fury has been around for some time, and is using LMD's for everything now? Curious to see where they take this.

I kinda wish they'd just release the cover art without the text over it. I found textless cover art for issues 1 and 2. No luck on the others yet.
Yeah. I mean, I've got device wallpapers to make and all.

Batman Eternal was pretty good again this week. Script by Tim Seeley, the Batman Inc fan so of course he is bringing in some cameos from that. The art was pretty cool. I wouldn't want every book like this but I am enjoying the artist changes so far in Eternal, keeps it fresh.

Wicked + Divine - Completely awesome. I kind of ignored a lot of the synopses for the series so I was going in blind and I was really impressed. The art and writing were great all the way through. Definitely gonna follow this one.
