Right, so I finished the nice little Young Avengers Omnibus last night. Really glad I found out about it and grabbed it, as it's a nice capstone to the JiM Loki story.

Also, I just realized I think I read most/all of Gillen Uncanny X-men, and... I don't recall much of those stories and think I found them just okay. Like, the only two that I recall standing out are ironically the ones that were kind of tie-ins to bad events, with the Fear Itself stuff and the Sinister stuff that was happening during AvX.

I see he also did a Beta Ray Bill, Thor, and Iron Man. How are those? Because I really, really liked his JiM and Young Avengers...

CBR: DC Comics Letting Creators Define the "Look and Style" of DC You, Says DiDio

Youtube Video: 24 New Books Will Change the Future of DC

"We're broadening the horizons of what we publish," Co-Publisher Jim Lee told the newspaper. "We're bringing in fresh new voices from the creator pool. We are publishing different kinds of artwork that you may not have found traditionally published at DC. We're welcoming old fans and new fans to that experience."

"When we did the 'New 52,' we knew it brought in a lot of new readers," Lee continued. "What we've seen in the four years since, is that there were a lot of readers out there who didn't necessarily have big voices in our industry. Female readers, the LGBT community ... we have this big amazing universe to tell lots of diverse stories. We feel that it is the future of our business. It's not going to just happen naturally. ... I think if our goal is to mirror the diversity that is our readership, we need to move with some speed and some sense of purpose."

When is DC going to actually put this run in a collected edition? I've wanted to read this for forever.
Okay, let's be real here: I don't want to read it, I just want it on my shelf.

Batman Beyond was OK to pretty good. It's kind of weird that we're really going to go down the path of "Tim inserts himself into every part of Terry's life in a weird doppelganger replacement", right off the bat. I mean these are nostalgia things that only Terry fans would know so why include them? Why not make a fresh break.

It's Dan Jurgens. It was bound to be disappointing. His books are like elementary school cafeteria PB&J.



No Inhumans on that Marvel 52 banner. WELP. at least we getting Turok.

I didn't actually read up on GROOT before it launched. Have there been any hints that this book takes place post-Secret Wars, or are we just supposed to fit it into the timeline before 616 went to shit?

Secret Wars Journal #1 was really good.

first half seems to tie into A-Force & Siege, with some pre-SW Young Avengers love thrown in for good measure.

second half was pretty weird, but fun.

Future Imperfect was worth a read
Secret Wars 2099 was meh
Secret Wars Journal #1 was first half ok, second half absolutely terrible

Renew Your Vows was okay. Some parts were really dumb and some parts were really okay.

It seems about as concerned about Secret Wars continuity as it is about cosmic continuity; it seems like it's just in 616 before the Incursion and we should all just not think about it too hard.

Renew Your Vows kinda sucked, in the way every Slott Spider book has sucked since Ends of the Earth.
Future Imperfect was pretty rad.
Secret Wars 2099 was alright.
Ultimate End was a bunch of incoherent nonsense about absolutely nothing.
Secret Wars Journal feels like the most skippable, forgettable Secret Wars tie-in so far.
Inferno was okay. I had no real strong feeling either way.
MODOK was pretty good.

In the All New All Different ComicGAF I will be playing the role of GH, GH will be playing the role of Messi, and Kipp will be playing the role of me. Flithy Slug is a universal constant and the name Kipp will cease to exist but his personality will live on in my comic body. Korrupt's origin will be re-written to being the child of Bromates Tyrant Rave and JC, who themselves will be drawn to be more young and sexual. Fauxtrot and Core-anus will merge and make one average member who equally enjoys meat and vegetable shit, Freeza will continue to be banned until his epic return to free all the new members (who are no longer X-Men but have instead been infected by the Terrogen Mist.)

Cade Will continue to not read comics. Sarah will continue to be a Messi alt. Echo shifting will continue to be a cyborg but will now be a sexy cyborg woman. Eneiz will continue to be mad at everything. Psychbat will be a universal constant.

Coming in September.

Edit: Everyone who thinks they were forgotten haven't been. You're all being saved for wave 2 when these Tumblr Shite members get canceled.

Tim you're round 2. You come into play after nobody wants to buy their book like nobody wants to join JC's Comic Club. Fortunately for you your origins will stay the same, but you will get a quirky visual overhaul and will be drawn by a knockoff Scottie Young.

I will accept Peter as the best Spiderman if the new Marvel universe makes AmeriKate real.

Please also give Magik her own book or make her a team leader again.
