Axel Alonso in regards ro Ultimate FF cancellation. "The roadise is littered with series that might have deserved to stick around. All I'll say that this is a bump in the road; everyone will be talking about the Ultimate auniverse bery soon." Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Fuck off Axel. Just merge the damn Ultimate Universe with 616, bring over the superior badass African-American Fury and kill that abomination of a son (why the hell didn't they use Ult Fury in the first place???). Stop trying to make Coulson and Fury: Best Buddies happen. Grow The Son of Coul as his own character instead.
 
Yeah, I hear you.

If you can ever swing it though, go Heroes Con. Just check Twitter right now for it and see all the rad shit being made there this weekend.

Wish I was there. :(
look i wish i could but no college student is gonna fly from the west coast to NC for a con, even if it's as rad as Heroes looks. hell, ECCC is out of the ballpark too

sdcc gonna have to do
I had the exact same reaction. Holy fucking fuck was that line art terrible.
The lines are actually what i liked, but that coloring didn't mesh with his style well

why is Prince of Cats out of print already, man

Batman Beyond 2.0 #23: Lead up to the big showdown! Absolutely adorable that at least in one universe,
Dick and Barbara got together. We even meet their kid.

Catching up on some comics and I am STUNNED how much I enjoyed Infinity Man and The Forever People.

How did you even manage to post???
 
Because it has needless blood and gore.
At least I think it does.

I had the same feeling. The start is very focused on blood and gore. But after a few chapters the story gets more and more important. And its a blast to read how it all unfolds.

If you want to read it for free you can do it here : http://www.crossedcomic.com/category/chapters/

Im going to buy the Omnibus when it comes out. (Hopefully soon because we are at Chapter 4 and it seems like it ends soon)

I took a personal day off today (nearing my maximum accrual limit) and spent half the day catching up on my floppies. Burned through some really good ones and not-so-great books. Maybe I gotta check out this Infinity Man and the Forever People.

To be honest, Crossed was never my thing. It always came across as torture porn and shock-value fodder. I flip through it once in a while just to see what horrific things they come up with, but it's not something I purchase. I understand it has its audience, and that's fine. It just isn't for me.

There are a more than just one crossed comic. Badlands etc are boring and shit. WYWH is by far the best one and worth a look if you like a good story and can endure the violence. So its the same as Berserk (endure the violence and rape in the manga and you get a good story).

And : Crossed WYWH >>>>> Walking Dead
 
I always felt that Crossed was a little too over the top. Pushed it into hilarious country rather than fucked up. "Girls" is more what I want from something trying to be horror and violence. Has the right amount of psychological and physical squick.

Gore doesn't bother me, I devour each new chapter of Berserk as it comes out. It's just that Crossed seems to use it as a gimmick, if not a crutch. It's gore for the sake of gore, and it's taken to extremes. I mean, did that woman in the first trade really need to be raped with a garden aerator? Really? I can forgive stuff like that if there's a story I find appealing enough. But if I was interested, I'd be reading it. It's not for everyone.

Thats not from WYWH i believe. WYWH started with a guy raping a dolphin. There is only 2 gross moments in WYWH. And both were short (first one is 2 panels long and the second one is a few pages).

And again. WYWH is not like the rest from Crossed. You dont have to read it and i understand what you mean. Imo WYWH is just better than the rest and should not be treated like the rest from the series.

I will check this out soon as I see it is written by Simon Spurrier.

But I probably won't dive into it too fast, I got to be in a certain mood to read these bleak ultra-violent comics.
 
Because of Messi's love for glam star hairstyles, today's reason for Messi to read the Legion is Laurel Gand, aka Andromeda, because if continuity doesn't let you have Supergirl, why not just make a Daxamite replacement?

I'm trying to figure out this Rachael Rising sale on Comixology. For $20 you can get every issue released so far, but if you buy each volume individually on sale it costs more? That's pretty weird.

Looks like the singles only go to #18 while the collections go to #24.

So collected, 1-18 is like $15 while singles are $18.

Prince of Cats is out of print? Oh shit, just checked ebay--haha. That book is fucking dope as hell, and I doubt you'll see Brooklyn dialect filtered through Shakespearean verse again in a book.
 
Man, if I ever come out to the left coast, I want to come visit your book room and just stare. Do you do that? Just go in there and just stare at all your stuff? I do it, it's fun. Staring.......yeaaaaaaaaah!

Haha love this.
I find my self staring at my shit at times. I have like 15-20 of my signed booked hanging up on my man cave wall, some framed,, and a few signed prints as well. I have Superior Spider-Man #17 & #18 comic and print each signed hanging up ,, nice to have them paired with each other. Same with Batman Eternal #1 print and comic signed.
 
I dunno, I think it would look better if the fur was white and the gloves/boots were white like her old outfit. The belt being white would look pretty nice too IMO. I don't dislike it but I don't think it's as good as her old outfit.
My comic shop didn't have issue 12 of hawkeye.
This wait is going to suck.

If you don't want to go digital you could find a cheap copy off of ebay.

Got a little more reading in...i'm not thrilled with Original Sin #3 and 4, it does feel like it's one of those " all the interesting stuff isn't in this book" events and that's a bummer. Avengers #30 was okay, seemed vague on content. "Things and things and stark's a jerk" Avengers #29 was a lot better until it transitioned into this time travel arc.

Finally got around to starting Private Eye and I'm LOVING it so far. The future that BKV created is super interesting (it's a little bit silly too, but I'm fine with that since it's pretty fascinating as well) and Marcos Martin's art is really great too. The colorist is doing a very nice job as well.

I hope this ends up getting a hardcover like 300 with the two-page-spread sized pages. I'd really like to own a physical copy of it eventually.

Also, we need to make a point to recommend Private Eye to more of the people who come in here looking for indie books to read. I mean, it's great and it's free. Seems perfect to recommend.
 
Yisss. Now viz is doing manga sales on comixology. Right now it's death note but this means I just need to sit back and wait for the future manga sales!

Blue Exorcist Volume 1 and the first two volumes of Rosario+Vampire are also on sale.

Hopefully Viz gets JoJo's Bizarre Adventure out on the platform. Especially since they announced they're gonna be localizing Phantom Blood.
 
Wednesday it is for Harley Black and White statue. Shop owner has them already, he got 3 of them. He is holding one of them for me so long is I show up at opening.

I know most of you guys probably don't care since most of you read it three years ago when the issues I'm reading came out, but man, I just can't get enough of Waid's Daredevil.
Waid's writing and plot points are so clever and well-thought-out, but not at all convoluted. It's a real treat and something you really don't see too often.

I'm going to hope mine gets some in as well, because I haven't been able to rely on BBTS lately.

I care. Waid's Daredevil is my current favorite monthly and every issue since 2011 has been phenomenal (well, maybe except for 2 or 3, but that's one helluva track record!). It tugged on my emotions like no other comic has before. That reminds me, I need to rummage through my Marvel digital codes to see what has/hasn't expired and offer them up before they do.

Amazing Spider-Man: Who Am I? #1

14472421182_4d2fc9fb27_o.jpg


Spinning off the Amazing Spider-Man series, Peter Parker wakes up from amnesia and slowly starts to realize that he's in the middle of a bank heist. Only this time, he starts to realize that he's a part of it and not thwarting it! It's a very fun and playful story that is worth a quick read, even considering that it was free. Now, the cover is a bit misleading (which comic book cover nowadays isn't? :p). It shows Spider-Man swinging away from a captured Shocker. Shocker does not appear in this book but I guess he could in #2? Finally, for a Spidey book, there's a lot of black space.

If anyone wants the Marvel digital code to Amazing Spider-Man: Who Am I? #1, first reply to request it gets my PM. I also still have Original Sin #4 that wasn't claimed when I posted it a day or two ago.
