Perfect.
We already locked in Marvel Now That's What I Comics Vol. 2
I still have no idea why Marvel needs to do this again. It feels like ANAD is barely off the ground, and now we're getting Marvel NOW! 2.0.
I think the ANAD promo looked better art wise, I think everyone is pissed Doom/NuMachine take up the front and the art is bad.
Yeah we didWe already locked in Marvel Now That's What I Comics Vol. 2
I suppose. I just don't want a ton of books getting more #1's. Like Ms. Marvel or Uncanny X-Men, etc. just let some books run, Marvel.well
Diamond's about to announce post-Rebirth Batman sold over 350k

I more expect bigger status quo changes for Ongoing titles. Or maybe a few Team Up books or something like this. Still not sure why Khamala is only in her own book.The ongoings kept going in the last NOW era though.
oh, I should've added: 350k so far, first printing
as a follow-up, though: who in them has the energy to give a fuck about a Marvel Comics relaunch today?
I think Green Gunman is supposed to be Solo, one of those 90s mercs with pockets everywhere and guns who helped out Spider-Man sometimes
so that's an encouraging character to bring back

I see this for the first time but I have the feeling that I have to buy this book.Who was in that suit?
I would feel less bad about the state of Marvel is there was a single DC Rebirth comic I read that was better than "that was ok...ish...I guess".
you having bad taste is definitely a factor . You going to be the first one buying Gunman red and gunman green
The hero ANAD Marvel deserves, but the one it needs right now!you having bad taste is definitely a factor . You going to be the first one buying Gunman red and gunman green
Batman, Arrow and Wonder Woman are honestly the best books in Rebirth so far. Superman is okay. Flash is eh.
there's Cable in there, and, that's the prospect of an X-Force book, and, yet, I couldn't give less of a shit
Green Arrow has no right being so good.
But why does his show suck?
Moved across country for a new job. Live 500m from a comic store. There goes all that extra money.
New Midnighter and Apollo series announced. Happy fucking days. Huge Authority fan. Have all the trades at home from years but caught sight of them in the store today, what brilliant creative teams that book had.
is 500m close?
america-wise?

Less than a quarter mile? Not even a 10 min walk

Um, how's that?
The logo itself tells you this is against the very idea of cohesion. It says "DIVIDED".
I don't care if there are forty different takes on the MU as long as they're by 40 different visionaries. These past few months have shown that marvel has like three. All the Inhumans books stink, the X-books suck. DC has realized that they can take a 60% B, 35% A List set of creators and turn out a cohesive line because there's one person's creative vision behind it. Johns changed how the entire line is developed creatively.
Marvel has never done that and never proposed to do that but it used to not matter because Remender and Hickman drove the whole line forward through sheer force of will. They're gone. Ewing and Waid are killing all their books but they aren't running shit. Bendis is still half amazing, half wack but has never been able to direct an entire line. If anyone has been given that role it's, shudder, Soule. And I like 10% of his books. (To be fair, that's like 49 comics).
Jason Aaron has been slowly walling himself off in his books so the whole thing is just sinking into the sea, now that he's the best writer they got left. Wilson is developing a great stable of writers, but then their books get their legs cut out by event fatalities.
I like MUs approach theoretically more than DCs because theoretically it leads to a more diverse stable of books. But a diverse array of garbage is still garbage. At least if there was some thought behind it all that garbage would feel like it added up to something.
This could all change if they come out and have a cohesive vision for Avengers and X-Men at least, but all the "cohesion" I was hoping for from CWII is just Ulysses popping his head in and making a prediction and then popping off to the next book.
I'll see, though, as I haven't read this week's crossovers yet.
Wow, I don't think I've ever been so bored with Marvel and I lived through Secret Invasion.
I mean Slapstick and Gwenpool are the "next big thing"? Fucking seriously?
That said, I'm not sure what the line wide hook of DC is outside of calling a mulligan.
Also in other news, this last two parter in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl may be the funniest comics ever. Straight up.
That said, I'm not sure what the line wide hook of DC is outside of calling a mulligan. It's strange to praise the strong editorial hand of Johns when a) he was also the strong editorial hand back when the new 52 started b) is leaving to help with the DCCU. That's not to say I'm looking forward to diving into Rebirth. Prez made me a huge fan of Benjamin Percy, but I'm worried DC might be leaning too hard on him. He's got like 4 books in the line.
What all comes with the Marvel Unlimited Annual Plus? Does anyone here have it and if so was it worth the extra $30?
Do you get extra read offline spaces? That is pretty much what I really want.
Paige at the end?
I hate to be that guy, but I guess I will.
...
Mark Russell wrote Prez, not Ben Percy. Percy did a short stint on Detective and the widely panned DCYou Green Arrow run. Which is why it's so remarkable that the new book is so good. His only other announced book is Teen Titans, which doesn't launch until September.
Just imagine Netflix would work that badNo, the service is identical. You just get a discount on buying issues and some physical merchandise (a few variant covers, a Rescue toy, a pin badge etc).
I would settle for them making the twelve read offline spaces they've already got work. I am honestly fairly sure at the moment that the Android app cannot deal with issue #2s. They never work offline.
From Issue #1.
On one hand, it wasn't necessary. On the other hand, yes it was.
Jesus...Thanks for the correction. I have no idea why in my head Benjamin Percy wrote Prez. Alright, I just want another book by Mark Russell, so get on that DC.

Oh right, my mind immediately jumped to the newest issue.
No problem. I hope that didn't come across as antagonistic, because that was not the intention at all. I just hate seeing folks with bad or misinformation, it's like the one part of my job that has seeped over into my personal life.
