They're pretty gross, for serious.
Not trying to impress anyone. I like it.

I see GAMEPROFF has taken a
break from GAF?
I had a similar reaction after reading the first 3 trades. I actually loved Seed of Destruction as an introduction. The art is great and the setting and characters are interesting. But as I read more, it started to feel a bit samey. But I might revisit it sometime and try again.

As you should be.
This avatar is no different than the big eyed anime girls Freeza traps in her avatar.

Your avatar impresses me. I hope you feel validated in your exquisite taste in images.

Hi folks,
Newbie here. Looking to get into Batman comics. I have read The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns and decided to really get into the character.
What is everyone's recommendation? I heard Scott Snyder is the man right now. I hear Death in the Family is awesome. What do you all think?
Hope to integrate myself into this Community!

Yes. Yes I did.
I totally forgot that there was a new volume coming out. So stoked to get the TPB when it gets released.
That sounds awesome. Who are you seeing?
Mates of State were the headliners and Hey Marseilles and Good Graeff opened. It was a great show, we hadn't seen Mates of State in like five or six years.

Yeah, Scott Snyder's Batman is good reading. His run's collected in five trades with the sixth coming out at the end of the year.
Year One by Frank Miller is the quintessential Batman origin story. Hush is a good read for a Batman newbie. It's basically a gallery of his greatest villains and I enjoyed it when I was first getting into Batman. I'd also recommend the Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb. It's got fantastic art by Tim Sale and it's a good whodunnit.

Lol, I can't believe you didn't tell me about the Legion "cameo" in JL3K1, Tim.
Better change it then
Welcome potential new friend. How do you feel about Harley Quinn and the Hijinks she gets herself into?

Cool. Thanks! Do you all go through Amazon to grab the books?

Haha, my background with her starts with the Batman animated show and ends with the Arkham video games with nothing in between.

Amazon's a good place to browse but I usually buy mine from Speedyhen - a smaller company owned by Amazon in the UK. If you're from the US I've heard good things about In Stock Trades.
Didn't wanna spoil all of the surprises for you
I see you avoided giving an opinion about her. Interesting. Most questionable indeed.
Welcome! People generally go to Amazon or IST for their comic bookery online shopping.
BTW, while Scott Snyder's Batman is highly reviewed I personally find his earliest Batbook the best.
It's called The Black Mirror and it's a story about how Bruce is busy doing other stuff so Dick Grayson has to pick up the mantle. It's by far Snyder's best Bat-story.
Welcome aboard!
Check out The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale as well as Frank Miller's Year One.
I personally prefer Grant Morrison's run on Batman but a lot of people like the Snyder stuff.
Pretty much everyone uses www.instocktrades.com as they have the best prices and packaging.
We all loved Multiversity (and rightfully so), but for my money Annihilator was the better of the two. I went back and re-read the first five issues Tuesday in anticipation of this week's finale and god damn it is some master class storytelling. The scripts are loose enough to convey the story while letting Irving's amazing painted visuals carry the bulk of the load.

Yeah, IST is almost always cheaper than Amazon, although I do tend to compare for older stuff just in case. The one thing to consider in favour of Amazon is that IST can take a little while both to ship and to arrive, especially compared to purchasing things where shipping is handled by Amazon.
Digital is also an option you may want to consider. It's, obviously, the fastest method and it may or may not be cheaper than physical copies. It's more portable too assuming you have a good tablet.

Somehow his left arm would have spoiled his identitiy?
It's Bucky post SW Planet Hulk? That would be ridiculous

Is Cho the guy who drew the cover of Spider-Gwen with an ass twice the size of Nicki Minaj's?

Love Cho's artwork but he's probably on for just the first arc. Pak writing Hulk again, though... We'll see.

Agreed. It would add another nice non-white male entry into the marvelverse.
But he is green tho...

I'd say neither does Batman but he's just kipping on a park bench...
Hulk has got to be Squirrel Girl, right?
So... he's just sitting on the park bench not spending money?
