Speaking of this, what is the proper reading order for all of this stuff?
Am I good with just reading this volume (after 1&2, which I have done) or do I need to get the stand alone Death of the Family TPB?
What about the other tie-ins, like Batman and Robin New 52 (which I will eventually get, I think). Isn't the 2nd or 3rd volume of that another DOTF tie in?

That first issue of Evil Empire was ridiculous. There's a whole speech about how people should respect songwriters for their honesty (and it's written by a musician) and apparently wasn't edited because the person who dies is referred to as both a character's wife and daughter in the same issue. And then that final page, good lord. I'm hesitant to call it bad, because despite all that (and average art) I kinda want to keep reading
Well the writer is british and this is a personal comic like Phonogram. It would be weird if it didnt.

I didn't really get what was going on to be honest...but I'll be reading #2
What was there to not understand?
Stop-trashtalking-Batman-List:
Batman #32
Batman Eternal #12
Justice League #31
Secret Origins #3
Outcast #1
Saga #20
Trees #2
Nope, stopped reading after issue #4.
Batman #32

That's a good investment regardless of quality.
I read digital as I don't know if there's a comic shop in a 100km radius (most probably not).

Every ninety years, a dozen gods incarnate as humans and then they die two years later. In the meantime, they're treated like pop stars. That's essentially the jist of the series. Of course, from the first issue you can see that comes with a price. There are people who don't believe any of it, and some are downright hostile about it.
Also snapping fingers is dangerous.
So in 2 years time these characters are screwed?

How many 50% off deals does IST usually have? I'm 100% sure Big Damn Sin City is going to be one, and probably Powers Vol.6 Definitive Edition.
Well, they die, yes. As do their mortal hosts. Death and rebirth, man. The circle of life.
You sure? I figured it would just be $45.

Big Damn Sin City? It's got a $99.99 list price, no way they go with a higher discount than 50%.
Ah yeah I was thinking that even before I posted. I was going by the Amazon.com price.
IST almost always undercut Amazon by a few dollars.

Velvet trade came out last week. It's still $4.99 at IST.
We fucking choked so god damn hard. Damnit all. I don't even know why you would want to vacation here.

Finished the crossover issues of Planetary. Didn't really like the authority since I'm unfamiliar with the characters. The JLA crossover issue was ok, although I feel like the role reversal could have been more interesting.
Planetary/Batman was the real star here though. Really a Batman story framed within the Planetary universe it is really a must read for Batman fans (although alot of the nods will be lost if you're unfamiliar with Planetary).

I'm so sorry
Lol that wasn't me telling you not to come. That was me saying that I would be embarrassed to vacation where our defense is god awful. That last minute was just awful.
I've said this since we scored on Ghana; it's just been luck. The entire USA team is fucking trash. I've seen children have better coordination on the field.
Yeah but you guys have slurpees
I like the coke flavored ones.
As a general rule (for myself), I don't buy tie-ins just for the sake of getting the "whole picture". You can just read volume 3 of Batman (after volumes 1 and 2, which you've done already). But if you really want to read it in order, you're going to have to pick up Batgirl #13-16, Catwoman #13-14, Suicide Squad #14-15, Detective Comics #15-16, Batman and Robin #15-16, Nightwing #15-16, Red Hood and the Outlaws #15-16, and Teen Titans #15-16. And then the reading order moves from series to series, so it's not really worth the time and effort to try and read all the tie-ins in chronological order. It's very rare for a tie-in to become "required" reading for a story/event.
Edit: Actually, The Joker: Death of the Family Companion collects most, if not all of the tie-ins: http://www.amazon.com/dp/140124646X/?tag=neogaf0e-20 Get that if you want a bit more back story of the Bat family during this event. I might pick that up myself.

As far as reading the Death of the Family tie-ins is concerned, all I can say is please don't.

My usual rule about tie-ins: Only read them if they are written by the same author or you are already following the series.
There are a few exceptions, of course, but this is a safe (*cheaper*) way of proceeding.

All New Doop #3
All New Ghost Rider #4 (on the bubble)

I mentioned wanting to get Phonogram and two of you said vol2 was really good. What about vol1? Is it a prerequisite?

Nah, you can read volume 2 without any knowledge of volume 1. It's a bunch of stand alone stories and works on its own. It's also one of the best things ever. Long live Seth Bingo and the Silent Girl!
Oh geez. Just finished watching the game.
All that time after the 90 minute mark was embarrassing. I actually didn't think they played too badly (well, in comparison to Portugal) except for the time after the 90 minute mark and the first 7 minutes or so, which were both horrific. Those two parts of the game they just looked like a bunch of kids freaking out and kicking the ball anywhere.
But right, comics. Uuhhh. Read a few more issues of Daredevil today.
The one with the snow and the kids was a bit meh compared to the rest of the issues so far.
The Spider-Man team-up issues were some good fun though. I'd like to read some more Mark Waid Spider-Man.
That shit wasn't even fun to read. Felt like those issues were in poor taste.
How do you think it made me feel? Shit made my blood boil. Sorry I didn't pay 3.99 to read a domestic abuse comic.

The 2.5 Batman and Frankenstein issues make a serious case for how great a Bats and Frank ongoing could be. And get Matt Kindt to write it.
