Trump, Reigns, Yelling-at-girlfriend guy.... Sillymonkey always backing the wrong horse.
Meh, the best price I could fin is the IST one :-/
30-40 would be insta-buy.
You know I had put the great DC catch-up war on hold after the Marvel one, but these glowing feedback are seriously tempting.
...
Well, more of a great microscopic little skirmish as I planned to resume 90% of my DC readings with Rebirth.

What are we talking about? The Omnibus?
I would also had that the 'nonsense' part of your post is interesting. I remember 'Battle for Bludhaven', completely nonsensical to me, and absolutely wonderful because of it.
There was something so totally pulpy in this strange mix of convoluted backstories and unlikely heroes. Loved it.
If Green Lantern is even a little bit on the same level of 'it is a comic-book and we absolutely assume that fact', consider my interest piqued.
Yup, Howard the Duck Omnibus is kinda tempting. Not tempting enough to finish obliterating my budget, but whatsinaname talked about a clearance, I'm nervous.
I'm bummed I wasn't able to get it for that crazy deal a week or two back. I assume you cancelled yours, too? Shipping ended up being jacked up to like twice the amount or more so I didn't go through with it.

Isn't that the kind of shit Amazon resellers usually pull?

Yeah, mine got cancelled too.
They did ship out at that price to everyone in Europe . They had just underestimated shipping cost to the US.
Hmm, too bad dheader doesn't ship internationally, that's some great price.

I figured she would move on at some point. I hope she starts working on Wet Moon again. I think she still had another book or two to put out before that series is finished.

Have you tried Skull Kickers? It's more similar to DnD but still has the humor element.
Yeah, they were nice about it, so I wasn't too upset.

If you mostly got a Morrison comic on the first read, you did pretty well. I thought it was easier to understand than a lot of his stuff.

I don't know, I've never really had much of an issue reading Morrison stuff. The only thing that really lost me was the ending to Nameless.

I didn't find Nameless to be too bad, really. I got some very "H.P. Lovecraft in space" vibes from it.
Of his stuff, I've read about half of his JLA run, half of his Seven Soldiers of Victory run, his Batman run, and Multiversity. I thought this one was the hardest to understand, with all the concepts going on. But I do think that I will understand it better the second time.

I would definitely say that Morrison is far easier to digest when he's writing within established franchises like Justice League or X-Men. When he's given complete freedom to do whatever he wants, things can get pretty abstract at times. I had no idea what the hell was going on half the time when I read Flex Mentallo.

That's the question that makes him interesting.

Is that the start of the War of the Light? I have no idea how many omnibuses there are.

Damn, Zarya doesn't fuck around. I just got both her trophies in a single round of KOTH.

The 5-enemies in her ultimate is pretty easy. What was the other one again?
There are three volumes. Vol. 2 starts RIGHT after Sinestro Corps War.
Here's what an Amazon review says it collects:

Keeping her charge up above a certain amount for a certain amount of time. Maybe 70 for a minute. Not sure.
After how weird that last issue of Mockingbird was I'm curious to hear what people think of this one.

Wow, 10 Cloverfield Lane was good. Not at all what I was expecting.

I really liked it too. Mary Elizabeth Winstead should be in more things.

She's only gotten prettier with age. She's what now? Early 30's?

So I think I've catalogued all of my long reviews. Once I started doing longer, multi-paragraph ones. Those are the ones I've made sure to bookmark. Tracking the rest would be far too exhausting.
I said I'LL GET TO IT WHEN I GET TO IT. how many X-Men SW tie-ins were there anyway? X-Men '92, E for Extinction, Age of Apocalypse, House of M... were there any others? Old Man Logan, I suppose. If we count that, then I only read two of the X-Men tie-ins. I feel like a shitty X-Men fan. I do hope they collect all of the SW stuff at some point. At least in bigger trades than the ones that are out. I'm not paying $15 for three issues.
