That's okay, with The Massive, you just need to burn everything between the covers.
Lol. I was flipping through it a little while back and I don't know if I'll like it. We'll see.
Oh, cool, hadn't even heard of Incorruptible. I'll check that out.

It's basically about post-apocalyptic hippies.

Yeah, I thought about that one, too. Kinda pricey. Not sure about the quality, plus it's only 8" tall. TFAW has it for $90, though. About $107 after shipping.
Extraordinary X-Men #4 - books continues to be the most x-men ass x-men book in years, and I still cant explain why, theres just something about it that reminds me of the 90s. Sinister is up to his cooky shenanigans and he has colossus, magik and nightcrawler captive. Kurt seems to be batshit crazy, and its nice to see Jean avtually use her telepathy in sneaky ways. Also enjoying old man logan's interactions with the various members. Oh and its thenissue with the
stinger at the end which I remember folks freaking out about 6 months ago
I like this book, sorry Gaf.
Speaking of Logan, has he met Laura yet in any of their books or any x-men book?

Man, that's so expensive for an 8" statue. It is awesome, though.
yea the price verus size is the biggie :/. They always make the super detailed stuff the smallest. Never heard of TFAW so thanks for that. looking through their site now and seeing some wicked stuff.

Yeah, the only downside to that place is that they really fuck you over on shipping for statues. Sometimes Entertainment Earth will be a better deal because they always offer free shipping over $100.
The current arc of All New Wolverine is about them meeting.
ty, will keep that in mind

Anyone want to help with next month's OT? Need books and descriptions.

I know that feel. It was hard to put down Overwatch until I got that level 50 trophy. But what are you still aiming for? A star? TWO stars?
What happens when you hit 200? Do you get another star or does it turn into a gold star?

Just finished Sixth Gun. All of it.
Fucking masterpiece.
Fucking masterpiece.
I want the physical books, but they are tall as hell.

Your first unemployment check comes in, I presume.
This is my new hearthstone, i like the characters, aesthetics,and the basics of the game when it's not 5 torb frustrating failing to take a point. Hearthstone if you get a bad match up you just play it out and grumble, at least this you can switch characters as you want. I just started playing Reaper.
I just love collecting completed works
edit: for anyone who doesn't know how tall the sixth gun deluxe editions are taller than absolute editions with the slip cover on.

Ultimates 8 was Civil War II 0 and 1 from the Ultimates point of view. Pretty good, art's still top notch. Ms. America Chavez still vastly underused.
Pmif 5 was still really fun, and Jessica Jones wasn't a horrible nag. There's a Roshomon-y element. Good stuff.

I have some pretty tall books, though I try to avoid them if possible. The Umbrella Academy deluxe editions and Monocyte are pretty big. Not as bad as books that are short but wide. That's a big reason I avoid movie artbooks.
ty will buy both. Jessica was definitely a pain in the first 4 issues which was kinda weird because I grew accustomed to her netflix version
ahh I remember that special edition umbrella academy book. can't believe it is selling for such a high price
Freezasaurus

I have both, but it's only vol.1 that sells for silly monies.
I am sure it will only increase in price if Gerald way finds success at Young animal

Better stock up on all those Gerard Way POPs that Hot Topic carries.
This sounds like something Way would say...

Or waiting for the new Star Ocean game to come out on Tuesday and play that instead...

I mostly play while catching up on tv. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's W/L ratio.

So I bought all of the Jupiter's Legacy / Circle stuff from the Comixology sale. Cost me under $11. Not bad. I've already read the first trade, but I never read the second series.

Well they're steering away from that. After the storyline leading up to and during Secret Wars, he went so far off the deep end. Now, after effectively getting everything he wanted, he's basically been given a clean slate and a fresh start. It'd be nice to see him go in a new direction. At least for a little while.
I'm more interested in that than him being Doom Man. Victor stalking Tony has been pretty funny even if I still don't know why outside of it just being a whim of Bendis. He better get his own armor preferably made out of the skin of one of his enemies.
I suppose. I haven't read enough Spider-Man to argue otherwise, but I can't remember being outright depressed after reading anything Spidey.
Dropped Flash like a bad habit after that bullshit
"We have to go back to Earth 2!" Couldn't deal. Especially after Patty and the time travel episode to visit Reverse Flash.
Huck is so bueno.
I dropped it after the fourth issue, I think, because it felt like the book was being cutesy for the fuck of it and I couldn't deal. At first it was good, but then it felt like it was going no where.
I can't stop laughing at this.
I'm glad you agree with me. I still wish Emma was in the book instead of Jean.Extraordinary X-Men #4 - books continues to be the most x-men ass x-men book in years, and I still cant explain why, theres just something about it that reminds me of the 90s.

Hmm.... Sillymonkey was on to something. This Marco Polo series on Netflix is good stuff.
Now I have an itch to buy the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms game coming out in a couple weeks.

The Mighty Avengers #30
Continuing the storyline of the Inhumans and the Unspoken arc in Dan Slott's Mighty Avengers, we have the most ridiculous of issues. Essentially, the Young Avengers and a few of the New Avengers (Bucky Barnes, Carol Danvers, Jessica Drew, and Clint Barton) team up with the Mighty Avengers as back-up for fighting the Unspoken. They also recruit members of the Avengers Resistance, including Tigra, Rage, Gauntlet, Justice, and some other motherfucker. Hercules does a bunch of ridiculous shit, not the least of which is attempting to get Norman Osborn's team to help out. Jarvis is super stoked about having a full mansion again, and Quicksilver and Clint sass eachother. We also learn that the Unspoken's true motivation is to use the Slave Engine to remake the Earth so that Attilan will accept him again. Oh, and Hank Pym is the Scientist Supreme. He grew out of reality, talked to Eternity who informed Hank of how powerful he is. Basically, Hank sciences to the point of magic, which saved Eternity from some sort of cosmic cancer, simply by forming an Avengers team. Then Hank comes back, is creepy with Jocasta, and then decides he's going to save everything. Zero fucks given.
This was fucking sweet/10

So I didn't really read comics yesterday, because I had some catch-up sleeping to do, primarily.
Marvel Zombies (2015) #1
Elsa Bloodstone + Shotgun + Zombies. Totally what I wanted from it. Just some silly nice to look at fun.
Only nitpick, on a broader level: in the case of some characters, be it because they are maybe less developed or because I have bad luck and just read the wrong issues, the deja-vu is a little tiring. Yes, I know that Elsa was bred by the psycho alpha male version of Buffy. And it's cool, just... could we stop bringing this up every time Elsa shows up in a comics ?
Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies (2015) #1
Less enthusiastic about this one. At a base level I'm less interested in the zombies vs robots shtick, then the storytelling is more convoluted. We start with a nice zombie survival scene then the thing takes a sharp turn and introduce
. I don't give a fuck about
.
Nothing really bad either, I don't regret reading it.

Comics are good right now man. DC's the strongest it's been in forever, Marvel has some fantastic books in an overall disappointing ANAD campaign, and Image is Image. This is my favorite hobby 100%.
Can't wait for ANAD to be over though. To me it feels like DC You if it was successful.
Bring on Marvel NOW Blade please.
Not a reboot, just a renumbering after a big crossover event. Which is stupid, but ce la vie.
More Than Meets The Eye was always designed to have "seasons" of 24 issues (ish), and they're just ending Season 2 now, so the renumbered book will be the start of Season 3.
