Hey guys, IST has updated! Say goodbye to your money!

 

[besada]

Just got around to Old Man Logan. Yes, this is the stuff. Inuhmans was pretty good, too. M.O.D.O.K. was okay. Infinity Gauntlet and Master of Kung Fu both seem like they'll be good as we see more.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Just to make it clear in my head, was the pre-New 52 Wally stuff from Johns worth reading?

Yeah all the Johns and Waid Wally is the best

A thousand times yes

For $5 y'all better buy the first volume of ODY-C.

 

[Cheska]

Did anyone ever finish reading Bodies by Vertigo? Did it end up being good?

Johns' Flash is pretty well-regarded from what I hear.

 

[Rhaknar]

does Old Man Logan follow up from the previous version, with Logan off being wasteland sheriff, or is it a retelling?

Follow up, but within the overall context of Battleworld.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

How is this not the best:

I'm itching to re-read this series on my omnibus. I want to relive the hype moments.

Only Batgirl interests me. Just to see Babs art in HC. So I'll just get it at the store.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Still on the fence about Batgirl. I've managed to pack up an IST order worth $80... Anyway, I gotta wait for some travel reimbursement to come in before placing the order. I'll think about it a few days.

I honestly feel its something you need to read and make a judgement call on. But I feel its worth a look at the very least. It's not that it's a bad change its just such a bizarre, seemingly out of character shift, that you have to learn to let it go to enjoy it. My only other complaint is that they build up on her "perfect memory" for like the first two issues having scenes and splash pages where she is deconstructing what she remembers, then they barely even touch on it again since, like they forgot it was a thing they were doing with her; Similar to the Flash TV series where they did something like that for the pilot and then just dropped it.

The art and panel flow is extremely good though. It's dense with action most of the time.

Hmm you're painting a good picture for me. I might just do the TPB. I should add, though, I don't have much in the way of a baseline for Babs as Batgirl. I've got more experience with the other Batgirls and her as Oracle. Only read two issues of Nu52 Batgirl when Simone was on it.

 

[Serpentine]

Tarr/Stewart/Fletcher Batgirl is the kind of thing you gotta give a shot because it's pretty divisive here. i think it's pretty fine

Then honestly I think you'll like it. It's one of those "its for them, not me" situations, in my opinion, and I've just sort of learned to let go and enjoy it for what it is. I've come to view it as a slightly better version of the Stephanie Brown Batgirl run in that regards. This is just Barbara as Stephanie (and if that doesn't mean anything to you, just read it as a less experienced Batgirl, who makes more rookie mistakes, and is more in touch with college culture).

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Oh dam!

I forgot Rafael Albuquerque drew an issue. His Lady Deathstrike is so good:

It's so good.

I never expected a book about assassins to go full cosmic

 

[Gambit 1138]

That wouldn't work either in that using Sue in such a cover makes even less sense considering Inhumans and F4 are basically tied to the hip more pronouncedly than anyone else.

It'd be like having a cover with johnny throwing shade at Spiderman. It'd be really dumb considering they're best friends.

GUYS! The image is a commentary on Disney blocking x-Men and Fantastic Four merchandise and removing them from company images and old issue covers. These are FACTS not conspiracy.

Also despite what they say they are also downplaying them in the comics. There will be no fantastic four series and they have the Inhumans heavily infringing on their niche of "hated and feared"/"strange and different"

 

[GAMEPROFF]

She is always disturbing me.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

She is always disturbing me.

It's the long pointy fingered claws. They give off a freaky vibe.

Uncanny X-Force #5.1

Uncanny X-Force #5.1

Thanks^^

 

[Squire]

Uncanny X-Force might very well be one of the best things I've ever read. Can't wait for volume two. Captain Britain is not particularly happy with his sister...

Pin your hopes on a volume three. Humphries dropped the ball and let it roll off the court when he got the book.

The Clear Channel gods are smiling looking down on me today. I'm going to celebrate with Absolute Transmetropolitan.

It was bound to happen eventually.

 

[Owzers]

The lewdness is too much for me.

 

[Mudcrab]

Doreen deserves better than this filth.

 

[sca2511]

I see that another Batgirl of Burnside statue is coming out, but it's in the same pose as the Batgirl B/W. Why DC why?

I think the colored version is larger, but still...

 

[Rhaknar]

Uncanny x-force with spiral and puck was shit but the latest x-force is awesome imo

Rich will do anything for clicks. He'd sell his own mum to prostitution if it meant he could get one exclusive bit from Tom Breevort.

 

[Rhaknar]

old? Punisher in Daredevil Season 2

I hear the writer tries too hard with Fantomex and Betsy.

Haha how cleve-wait no, it's not. Guess you have to appeal to that six year old demographic.

 

[Rhaknar]

which one? the puck / spiral one? theres a love triangle between betsy, phantomex and...phantomex which I thought was the best part of volume 2 lol

they arent a thing in volume 3, mainly because

Spoiler

phantomex is a homocidal maniac in volume 3, he went completely of the deep end

I'm the Saved You A Click for BC, Rafa. I'll go so you don't have too.

Please, this is my demo, m8.

I'll admit, I grinned, just a bit.

 

[Zombine]

And eating butt is kinda awesome so at least Squirrel Girl has the right idea.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

old? Punisher in Daredevil Season 2

Now add Bullseye and I am happy.

Excellent decision to cast a pulido drawing of The Punisher to play The Punisher.

Perfect.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Ryan Higgins' linked a (crappy) shot of some of the art from Hellblazer from tomorrow's launch. It looks kind of cool?

[WadiumArcadium]

Bernthal's a fucking great choice. And we thought season one was good.

 

[Serpentine]

Bernthal, not bad not bad

Thanks to Korupt for making me aware of thsee figures. I so need that Animal Man! Poor Buddy typically gets no love from the licensing gods (hell aside from his DC Nation shorts he's never even made a background appearance in Justice League Unlimited or anything).

someone shop a skull on that chest, I have zero skill

What are these? And is that Swamp Thing?

 

[GrandHarrier]

Yo what the hell. Bunch of people talking on twitter about Batman #41. Did it leak or something?

Well those are absurdly cute. I'd like more stuff like this and less like Funko. I'm not a bobblehead fan.

Either Capullo or Snyder tweeted earlier that people were getting review copies today.
