I almost fell asleep just thinking about Heat. It takes a special talent to make a movie with that cast so utterly uninteresting.

A million scusts at this.
That wonder woman statue looks great. Man the box itself looks like a good display lol.
So is Clone Saga definitively being reprinted as 2-3 omnibuses? I might have to pass on the classic Dr. strange omni this October and get Clone Saga since I never read it and I really should expand my Spider-Man graphic novel collection. It sadly only consists of Death of the Stacys and Kraven's Last Hunt.
To embarrass myself even more, I've never even read spider island. I'm a bad Spider-Man fan.

Wouldn't they have at least had the first arc or two already lined up for the relaunch? I can't imagine folks are already scrambling to meet deadlines, though I could certainly see it ending up that way.
As far as more frequent trades go, this is DC we're talking about.

I consider that high praise coming from you.
You should absolutely not pass on Dr Strange for the Clone Saga. Just no.
That's so damn nice.

They have a Red Son version coming out in a month or two, as well.
Just be careful. Some of the in-hand pics I've seen are less than fantastic. The face came out a bit different than the prototype.
BTW, all this talk of bad Spider-Man stuff, and no mention of Trouble? (I've actually never read it. I saw it on sale at FCBD this year and was almost curious enough to pick it up for the hell of it, but then I decided against wasting my money like that...)
Edit: Dang, and it's not on MU to sate my curiosity...

Al Ewing did that a lot in Might Avengers, too. I guess it's just a thing now.

Why does he wear the mask!?
It was just so out of place with the issue and it's serious tone
I'd rank this week's Rebirth books as so:
Detective Comics
Wonder Woman
Flash
I was not disappointed by any of them by any means, I'm enjoying what each is doing.
Tynion and Barrows are firing on all cylinders in Tec, I can't say enough how good that book is. I'm thrilled that Batman is in the background and not taking the spotlight from Kate or the rest of the team. Everyone is getting their time to shine. My only complaint is
Rucka directly addressing the mess that is Diana's backstory is a great plot device, but I do have a feeling this is going to be a fairy slow burn. I wonder how much of his rejected Earth One pitch is being incorporated into this run, as I'm sure DC had to give him carte blanche to get him to come back. I ready dug the last page reveal and Sharp's art was great.
I'm so happy to have a good Flash book again. Williamson has an interesting voice for Barry, and I like the introduction of
, it's a nice bit of complexity for him. I absolutely love the art, it's so kinetic and reminds me of a weird mix of the best parts of Scott Kolins and Travel Foreman (both of whom are favorites of mine).
I'm not gonna lie, I'm surprised by how DC has just knocked this all out of the park. I was expecting the line to range from great to ok, but for the first month at least, the whole Rebirth line has been consistently great. From what I've seen on Twitter and heard in interviews, the sales numbers have been great, and deservedly so. Here's hoping they can keep it up.

I don't care what kind of iPad you have. I doubt one exists that would suddenly make that artwork good.

Wayyyyyy more than just a marvel cash in. She's a stand out character in my eyes.

I assume it's a riff on how old hulk comics would frequently end with "To be HULKtinued".
I can't remember. I have Changnesia.

I would recommend not reading the big summer events that go before Secret Wars. They're mostly just not that good.
The good thing is that Secret Wars is the conclusion of Hickman's work for Marvel and there is a clear line in nearly all of his work that leads to it
Read Hickman's run on Fantastic Four/Future Foundation, then read his Avengers work (Avengers and New Avengers) including Infinity and then read you can read Secret Wars and enjoy it to the max.
Fantastic Four:
Fantastic Four: Dark Reign Mini
Fantastic Four #570-588
Future Foundation #1-11
Fantastic Four #600-604
Future Foundation #12-23
Fantastic Four #605.1, 605-611
Avengers/New Avengers/Infinity:
New Avengers #1-3
Avengers #1-4
New Avengers #4
Avengers #5
New Avengers #5-6
Avengers #6-13
New Avengers #7
Avengers #14-17
New Avengers #8
Infinity #1
Avengers #18
New Avengers #9
Infinity #2
Avengers #19
New Avengers #10
Infinity #3
Avengers #20
Infinity #4
Avengers #21
New Avengers #11
Infinity #5
Avengers #22-23
Infinity #6
New Avengers #12-15
Avengers #24-28
New Avengers #16-17
Avengers #29-34
New Avengers #18-23
Avengers #35
New Avengers #24-25
Avengers #36-37
New Avengers #26
Avnegers #38
New Avengers #27
Avengers #39
New Avengers 28
Avengers #40
Then just read Secret Wars!

It would certainly be a gorgeous book. I imagine it's a possibility. They did an Absolute Court of Owls. Zero Year would be a no-brainer.

Joshua Williamson deserves better!
Wall of pics incoming. I have to get this off of my chest.
I was excited to start reading Daredevil by Waid. I was ready to read some lighthearted DD stuff. So a while back I read the first OHC. The main artist was Paolo Rivera. I did NOT like the art (well, to be fair, it occasionally had some great looking full page and double page spreads). I came to the realization that the coloring does not work. There's this use of gradient airbrush shading on the characters and very occasionally on environmental objects that CLASH with the otherwise flat coloring and simple linework.
Here's what it looked like:
At some point I realized that this was the same artist who drew The Valiant, a book that I remember loving the art in! I went back to it, and look how much better it looks:
The coloring suits the art style. There's an artists who doesn't bother with tons of fine details, so the coloring/shading should also look "simplistic".
Well, anyway, I was really excited to get into the Samnee issues. I've seen some of his work and it was amazing. I love his style.
Imagine my disappointment when I got to his stuff in the second OHC and it seems to be using that same colorist that Rivera had in HIS DD issues!
Still looks nice, but that crazy airbrush shading plastered all over their faces. Clashing with the rest. LUCKILY, whether suddenly there was a new colorist or the existing colorist realized that style wasn't working, it changes to the Samnee-style art I'm accustomed to after a few issues.
That's better.
This is all subjective to an extent of course, but I didn't think the airbrush shading worked AT ALL.
