This is disgraceful and completely uncalled for. You should be banned for this.

Don't worry, GH. I thought your joke was funny.
I can't remember the last time reading actually made me cheer. On one hand, I would have actually liked it if Prowl had been redeemed by the power of friendship last week, but having him still be Prowl and finally having him get blown the fuck out has been a long time coming, and feels so great.
Looking forward to this week's Secret Wars books, but starting with Transformers ended up being a great decision.

Wow, picked up a random volume of Usagi Yojimbo at the library. It is amazing!
Stan Sakai is brilliant. Usagi is in my top 10 of all time. I'm loving Senso.
Indeed. As he says, it's rather interesting the ways Image can bounce back-and-forth between being just a distributor and also a publisher with other concerns. Who is that helping? Doesn't seem like it'd help the individuals involved with the announcements much, but might serve to make Image seem more immediately 'hot' and attract more people to bring their books there. That's good for Image, but should the creators really have to deal with that? And is it even necessary for Image? If they shortened the time between announcements and debuts, Image would still have a consistent stream of new books to showcase.

It's off to a good start. The art's great, and there's a nice introduction to the ongoing story. I'm excited to see where it goes.
I don't know much about comics so I found it all really educational, mostly cause the majority of comics news sites seem to be PR recyclers and controversy generators. I already liked Murphy from what I read on his blog, since he was pretty open about the financial side of it all.
Hope the guy who started this website will have more interesting guests and articles on the industry that end up being educational and give an insight to how it all works. Personally I feel it gives me better appreciation for the works as a whole, knowing how much goes into making a title happen.
It's nice to see you can have insights into the industry without giant tabloid headlines and people making a scene on twitter.
Personally I really liked PRJ, but I'm used to black and white art from manga, plus I'm a cheap whore for the guy's artwork.

speaking of tumblr art, I also grabbed a new TMNT one-shot and The Fiction solely because they looked good. I hope I can go into Casey & April without having read anything past the first volume of IDW TMNT
You don't have to leave, don't be like that. Just talk with us. Are we not friends? I am friends with everyone here except Zombeen. He is a dickface.
You must've forgotten our long-standing rivalry. We're arch nemeses.
I appreciate that the map from Weirdworld #1 is still applicable in telling us where Thors is taking place. It's the little continuity things that I really love about this event.
I don't count you as a person. Just an evil entity.

Comiiiiics!
Read:
Robin, Son of Batman
Black Canary
Martian Manhunter
Dr. Fate
Think I liked Black Canary the most. Great, if occasionally all-over-the-place, art, interesting premise, interesting cast. Wonder what's up with the little girl?
Martian Manhunter was really out there. Loved the art (and Jonn's new costume is a triumph of the New 52, seriously), but as ever, the horror themes are a little offputting. Definitely agree that he's actually
Martians are shaping up into a terrifying enemy.
Dr. Fate was a solid book, if a bit overly dense. It did, however, annoy the hell out of me with the theme park take on Egyptian Mythology; Anubis is more of reaper figure (if that) than any remotely evil entity. All sorts of Everbody Hates Hades up in here. Personal pet peeve, I guess you could say. Looking forward to where this goes next, though, especially if they can iron out the mythology stuff.
Robin, Son of Batman won the prize for best art (from new books I have read this week). The writing seems decent as well, though (again) very heavy on setup. The Year of Blood is a solid plot device, gives a great excuse for Knight Errant Damian to run around doing Knight Erranty things. Looking forward to seeing how Nobody's Daughter plays into this.
BTW, how's Cyborg? Forgot to pick it up when it came out.

I wasn't planning on reading that but I got spoiled :/
I love Bill, why not another Thor??
I enjoyed the first issue. Wu drawing a rock band is pretty perfect.
Same kinda. I love tumblr though, as some of you guys can probably guess lol

Yeah, I already have two or three areas done. I'm clearing a few per day, so I should be done by the weekend.

I picked up the volume because the cover mentioned a foreword by Busiek and the art looked interesting. While the art is definitely great, the characters and setting introduced have been amazing too. (Especially Inazuma)
Ordered the second and third omnibus. Unfortunately I missed out on the first one, will get the paperback.

Because IDW Prowl is a raging dick.
That was a great issue of Transformers actually. Combiner Wars has been hugely fun. It's still no MTMTE, but the book has been a lot better since Dark Cybertron.
It's Prowl.
He's a sociopathic, manipulating asshole who's become just as bad as the worst Decepticons he signed on to fight, and he just shit on Optimus' power of friendship offer while claiming that they should let Cybertron and all of it's people die. He's had a good punch in the face coming for a while now.
IDW Transformers have gotten so damn good lately.
I think that one of the strengths of this book is that it isn't Tumblr Shite. I love how humble and talented
Stan Sakai is, and how he has re-interpreted historic events with his characters. He's right up there with Terry Moore in my opinion.
Inazuma though...freaking badass.
I finally pre-ordered Prison Schools on Amazon because I am an ass man.

Fine choice. GOAT manga tbh.
And I've never read Usagi Yojimbo but Stan Sakai seemed like such a nice guy at Comic-Con when my friends and I stopped by his booth. Lots of respect for him and it was heartbreaking to hear about his wife.
