Dead Boady Road is not worth the price of free shipping. Awfully bland comic.

I own all of Empowered digitally and I've been working my way through it but it's so hard to deal with it.
I may have to just start reading it on my computer :/ I should buy a tablet for digital stuff
Sin City is pretty great, but I'd check out the first volume before going all in. It's very much a Frank Miller comic and that doesn't necessarily mean it has universal appeal.
I give the nod to Hellboy, but I haven't read BPRD yet.
Hell yeah!

Batman #30
I'm playing catchup here. The Riddler's grip over Gotham has finally come and he has an interesting way of toying with the city and dashing all their hopes in the process. Capullo is still killing it with his art.
With the DC news above, this should give more exposure to FCO Plascencia because he's been coloring Batman's art in such a phenomenal fashion. Each panel is so painstakingly beautiful. Check it out below!
Speaking of colouring. HE LEE SHIIIIET

Well, Black Science and Velvet were my other options, but I'm waiting for the Deluxe Hardcovers of those beautiful, beautiful books.

But it's Frank Miller in his prime, and not "Holy Terror" Frank Miller.

Dude, nothing is going to get Messi down in the dumps today. TFAW got in the Batman Black & White Harley Quinn statues. Mine should be shipping soon as well.

I am tablet-less atm because I forgot it when I went home for the weekend, but I will brave the PC reader for this conclusion.

This is very true, but even prime Frank Miller can be divisive. The whole ultraviolence and every woman as a stripper or prostitute thing.
Nah, Sin City is pretty much the beginning of the end of Frank Miller doing anything worthwhile.
Thanks. I know it's sad and I know it's bad but I don't feel like my single sale is changing anything. I just want to read about new 52 Catwoman
. I won't ever recommend it in this current state and I am quick to point out actual problems when new issues come out. I know it's going to get canned / creative change towards the end of Eternal. It has to. 20,000 sales are abysmal for a Catwoman book when Harley is doing 66,000. They are making her a main player in Gotham and Nocenti is not up to that task.
I hadn't checked today.
That's made me quite happy.

One of the best parts of ComicsGAF is Messi's attachment to Catwoman.
I mean, he shouldn't read it since he hates it, but he just can't quit it. It's a gripping tale.

I agree, and honestly I can't wait to see the next mediocre writer on Catwoman to feed on Messi's sanity.

Speaking of Catwoman, are there any hardcovers that include the Darwyn Cooke run?
Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner will save me.
Or more realistically Gail Simone. Korupt can you go ask her if she would like to write Catwoman on Twitter for me

It could work. I think her run on Red Sonja is going to be done soon.

It was supposed to be over already, but they extended it as it is. I wish they kept her on that book permanently. She writes Sonja much better than anyone else.
It's so perfect I'll be dropping it once she leaves the book.

This arc ending and with AXIS around the corner I hope it will be he's been killing it with his work at Marvel for years plus his independent work like Deadly Class and Black Science have been great as well.
Definitely start w/ Hellboy... BPRD is great in its own right, but I feel like if you like Hellboy, you'll end up reading BPRD anyway, since it feels like an organic/logical spinoff by the time it happens within the series.

rich johnson is such a hack. he's "smacking down" crazy ass rumours that he found reading the cbr x-boards. you don't need to "smack down" flamebait, rich. what an idiot.

Yeah that story is too good to be true...
I like Adam Kubert (well, only read him in Astonishing Spider-Man and Wolverine), but I love Andy Kubert (only read him in Morrison's Batman...). I thought Adam's art was good, but I was really impressed by Andy's.

COMICS! |OT| July 2014. The Cult of Queen Nocenti.
☺️
I adore that Wada does all this gorgeous, sexy fanservice stuff for women and the gays
It's still another week until July! Calm down! Time moves fast enough as it is.
...But July OT should definitely be "COMICS! |OT| July 2014. Everyone Should Read Martha Washington Already, Dammit."

Reading that reddit page is like trying to find messages in alphabet soup after a child has eaten it all and vomited it out of their asshole, but here are some of Geoff Johns' favorite stories:
And some of us were talking about Static a little while back--it's odd to see somebody with so much pull around DC claim to not be able to use a character who is a favorite:

Poor Messi, Geoff Johns would like to write Catwoman some day. Just won't happen anytime soon.

I wouldn't expect them, honestly. Red 5 is a pretty small publisher. I don't know if they've ever done any omnibus-type collections for any of their books.
And still no shipping notice for Harley B&W from BBTS
I've never ordered from them before. Do they generally ship on time? Either way, she's not even officially out until tomorrow. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I don't think they have either. See this is the dilemma I always have, which is actually how I essentially end up spending so much money:
I see a series that looks interesting, decide to pick up volume one, end up loving it and hate that I have to wait for the rest of the books.
Sooo now I end up ordering the entire set in one go so I know I can immediately move over to the next one once I'm done without waiting. So far I haven't regretted anything, but it's still something I worry about when making these big purchases.
