E for Extinction wasn't very good. A lot of the dialogue read like writer didn't actually like the X-Men and was poking fun at it mainly? But then its also directly linked to Morrisons run and thus treating left-behind characters like Beak with more reverence.

Howard the Human will probably be the only Secret Wars offshoot I enjoy. Sure wish they'd reveal what the fuck is going to happen to the Nick Spencer Ant-Man series as well, since that was the only Marvel I was reading really.

Now that I think about it.
Nu Ironman armor reminds me of EVAs.

Next month, Annual.

Uncanny Avengers 5 was the most Remender thing I've read in a while.

Ending felt a little weak. Maybe he had to wrap it up quickly for Secret Wars. Hopefully we get more after that.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Next month, Annual.

August:

I know the short term (and its been fucking ages since the last Ant-Man anyway). Its just one of those classic situations where events stop me from reading the comic series I actually want to.

So quick question: everyone was saying that Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison book is supposed to be good, yeah? And it doesn't seem to be on IST, so I'm going to have to order it off an Amazon seller or something, yeah? Considering grabbing it for a friend's birthday...

Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison is fantastic. You can't go wrong by grabbing it.

that's one of the best Star Wars stories ever, imo. your friend will love it if s/he is a SW fan.

For all those playing Batman: Arkham Knight, be sure to listen to all the voicemails in Wayne Tower. There's one nod to the expanded Bat family that's quite nice.

Oh hey, Spread #8 out today. Really liking this series.

I read the first trade. It was okay. I really dislike the trope of having a baby narrate the story from some distant point in the future. I hated it in Saga and Spread uses it to even higher degree. It doesn't really make any sense either.

So I saw a pic of Greg Land on Birds of Prey in '99

wtf happened?

He's still doing the same stuff.

Just a different inker. You can tell it's still all photobomped.

Buy it. It's a brilliant Vader story. Definitely one of the best DH Star Wars comics.

X Tinction Agenda was fucking horrible.

 

[echoshifting]

X Tinction Agenda was fucking horrible.

Mmmyep

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Infinity Gauntlet #2 was really good. Weaver's got the right style for the post apocalyptic look he's going for and the character designs are seriously great.

Story was interesting too:

Spoiler

I LOVE groundhog day style stories where things keep repeating so I'm all in on where they're going with Thanos. What a fucking cool idea

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

X Tinction Agenda was fucking horrible.

Eh I always had a soft spot for the original, which this nicely adhered to in its mediocrity. Felt like an old Peter David comic.

That design is just....bad.
I dunno it fails at bringing out the charm of Harley's character.
Seriously all these stupid 'bad girl' designs on her outfit are tasteless :/

Her head looks great, though.

I think it's pretty cool looking. Love the hair especially.

 

[KoruptData]

Paid $0 for it. Traded in about 60 comics that he deemed worth the cost of the statue. Also canceled all of my pull list except a few indie titles that my wife still wants in print. I love it.

This Harley bubble is gonna burst. Too many comics, statues, t-shirts ect. You can even see the comic fatigue in this thread.

Nah. She is only getting started. Wait til Margot Robbie Harley drops.

 

[Tizoc]

The figure itself is good I'll admit and on the one hand the design when taken on its own is quite good, but then you look back at Harley's original design

...and then it just hits me how stupid her other designs look compared to it.

I find it ironic that the only 'bad girl' Harley design is the psychotic one from the Gods and Monsters short, especially when Bruce Timm would be the one who designed that.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Finally got round to reading Thors. That was really good fun. Very funny and I really like the art. Best Secret Wars tie-in I've read.

Spoiler

It's also the only one so far.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Good catch over at Comicvine with the All New All Different Avengers cover homage.

 

[Messi]

Nah. She is only getting started. Wait til Margot Robbie Harley drops.

Only a few days ago you complained about it, no?

 

[KoruptData]

Not me. I don't think I said anything like that.

Not like this, Messi.

Awwww. Random Arkham Knight Henchman Dialogue Spoiler

Spoiler

One of the henchmen is gay. Diversity! Inclusion! Gotta love it!

 

[Messi]

Not me. I don't think I said anything like that.

Maybe I am wrong.

I know its anecdotal but my local stores both said that Harley Pee Gee sold really badly compared to the solo title and the annual, like it sold 30% of the shipment. If they keep pushing the comics out as fast as they are the sales with wither. Look at what Marvel did with deadpool around the time they had the team up book and his solo and spin offs.

That said. I like the entertainment earth exclusive version

Ahh, I hear that. If you have a thing against that kind of narration there's no way around it here.

oh my, such violence.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Messi, have you played Arkham Knight's Harley DLC yet?

:/

 

[TheKaeptain]

The BvS plot has leaked by the looks of it.

If this is true I love how the movie is a big fuck you to the critics of the Man of Steel.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

please stop me from buying every hellboyverse trade right now halp

 

[Messi]

Yep, I loved it.

Complaining that Harley isn't about stealth takedowns.

Wat.

This Harley also doesn’t have any agency of her own. She doesn’t want to kill Batman or free Ivy because of her own motivations but to serve another character’s goals. At the end, when she reunites with Ivy after kicking Nightwing’s butt, there’s not even a moment that nods at the special relationship the characters have had over the years.

First time she speaks to penguin she says to him "remember the only reason I am helping you is because you told me you would help kill the B man"

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Why Waid on the Avengers? He's been doing some of the blandest(sorry random GAFer in the OT, I said it ), safest work of his career. Daredevil is a product of his great artist.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

If this is true I love how the movie is a big fuck you to the critics of the Man of Steel.

To say Man of Steel doesn't have problems is plain wrong though and I enjoyed it. I've always felt more confident that BvS would be a better film because Terrio's writing.

Got round to reading Infinity Guantlet #1 Really liked the first issue. Complete opposite of what I was expecting but I liked the dynamics between the family. Definitely buying #2.

 

[tim1138]

Is the dialogue from the goons you beat up playing as Harley as cringe worthy as it was during the Catwoman sections of Arkham City?
I don't think I could deal with another section of constant "I can't wait to kill that bitch ass bitch for being a bitch. She's such a bitch that bitch"
