Echo shifting- your dissapoint in green arrow makes me legit sad. Great issue :/

Sorry TF. Somebody was not gonna like it and it turns out this time it's me.

I have all 14 volumes sitting in my cart, and looking over the other stuff. The micro-series are whatever, right? I don't see myself buying them, but don't know how essential they are.

Not essential unless you wanna know what happens behind the scenes and between issues of the story. I was able to read the main story without the soinoffs just fine

For instance in the first micro series Raphael encounters a foe for the first time who later becomes a threat

of the turtles in later chapters.

Shit. Two page reading looks miles better than on my 10" android tablet

Yea it's price is crazy. But going splash page without having to go to guided view was a game changer. And reading portrait makes all digital purchases oversized editions. Killed any interest in print comics (outside Library editions) and I don't think I could go back to normal tablet reading ever again

Ayye it happens. Hopefully you like the next batch we are getting next Wednesday.

I found TMNT truly annoying without the micros and minis. I started over and read everything in order. They reference that stuff constantly and I hate feeling like I'm missing out on part of the story. Once is fine, but they come up all the time.

 

[Owzers]

Almost finished off the second part of the Squirrel Duck crossover, definitely didn't get a lot of enjoyment out of it, i think i don't like things.

 

[echoshifting]

i think i don't like things.

It is known

 

[Lashley]

One one hand, iPad pro. On the other, rent and food.

I was about to buy one, but the sale on the site I was going to use must have ended earlier this week

 

[Messi]

I picked up volume 3 I think at Waterstones and flipped through it to see what it was like and I was not prepared.

Will pick it up if it gets a hardcover collection.

I doubt it ever happens. Sejic said he can't afford it.

I know, I've read the first two (three?) collections!

I apologize then

You just cost me $94.32, bud! Hope you're proud of yourself.

yeah, i only read a bit but those microseries issues are basically regular issues

 

[Messi]

I took some last year. They were mostly Sandman and JH Williams III splash page city. And comparing IPad Air2 to IPad Pro. It was kind of hard to capture the scale

Thank you. Look at all that sub par art.

Hey, any time TC!

 

[TheFlow]

I only get the ones that interest me.

It is kinda like a hellboy and brpd situation. You can read all of hellboy 1-12 and be just fine but if you want the whole story you gotta check out brpd and ect

 

[Hagi]

I doubt it ever happens. Sejic said he can't afford it.

that sucks I'll buy the first two trades when I get paid at the end of the month then

I kind of agree. I actually thought the first part with North and Henderson was funny with a nice callback to the first volume with

Kraven the Hunter

. The 2nd part with Zdarsky was...okay. That last part was really overwritten, which happens a little too often in Howard the Duck.

I read Squirrel Girl with my daughter, so I read out loud and act out some of it. It's a riot for both of us. If you're not enjoying yourself, find yourself an 8 year old girl and give it a try.

What TMNT are you lot talking about? The current IDW run?

The micro-series are peppered into the hardcover collections in proper reading order, which is the only way I've read it.

I honestly found myself shocked at how much cool/important stuff someone not reading the micros would miss.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Thank you. Look at all that sub par art.

Them be some dangerous opinions.

Excellent advice. But not as bad as "Eat Butts."

Imho it's becoming a barrier to entry, now that the main series itself is pretty hefty. I have trouble recommending the book to people because the micro/mini order is so convoluted.

Noted.

For serious, though, that's adorable.

I loved the first arc. Have the rest of that and MTMTE to read after I finish Hellboy

 

[echoshifting]

Reading Squirrel Girl out loud sounds like a lot of fun. I might try that. My daughter (9 y/o) reads some stuff by herself but mostly My Little Pony. She read and enjoyed Squirrel Girl but checked out when it relaunched. I'd love to read that together with her.

That's how I felt too. Love Squirrel Girl but Howard just doesn't do it for me the same way. It was fine but definitely not on the same level.

I picked up this issue for the crossover with SG and I don't really regret dropping it months ago.

 

[Messi]

Really hope you enjoy it. Most people I recommend it to adore it. Just wonderful characters all around.

The volumes get bigger as you go on BTW and they are still $15. Sejic ain't a great businessman all heart.

This is kinda stuff that makes me wanna read some of the recent micros but I am enjoying the story enough that I will be fine.

Edit: because of the sale I would definitely tell someone to pick up the micros though.

Tmnt rarely goes on sale.

 

[echoshifting]

Yeah I liked Sunstone quite a lot. Read all four volumes, couldn't put it down.

Vol 5 out in August! Still amazing.

I just read Itty Bitty Hellboy by Art Baltazar and Franco. It was absolutely adorable.

Does Sejic have an agent? He should hire you.

If JH ain't drawing Batwoman it ain't worth looking at. Too busy. Like a less talented Bachalo.

I'd do it. I love all his books.

Remember read Death Vigil Vol 1 this week. My god I love that book so much.

Batwoman was the goat back in the day. Story was meh but the art made me buy so many issues.

I thought it was at its best when they were pushing that whole Religion of Crime angle. Then vampires and outer space happened.

Hype for Black Monday Murders #1 by Hickman and Coker? Is this going to be one of those "you never hear from it again" books?

That book looks fucking dope. I don't care if it might vanish, I'm buying it anyway. I adore Hickman. Best in the business imho

Yep, I noped it real quick. Same way I I noped out of red hood and the outlaws when they went to space.
the spreads were GOAT

Edit: fuck you guys, I caved into peer pressure and decided to buy all the micros I was missing. sigh now I feel like I gotta re read the whole series again.

Reading bad comics reminds me of watching Heroes.

I was thinking about this, the highs and lows of reading comics, where i read twenty issues of Rachel Rising in a row or watch a whole season of Game of Thrones during a free hbo weekend yet it took me a couple hours to read through one issue of the Squirrel Girl crossover because it was so dull and was trying to think of the fitting tv show that was a struggle to even sit through and eventually gave up and that would be Heroes' new season. I want to give up on bad comics faster but with pre-ordering it's tough and i amass a small handful of things that completely rain on my comic reading fun. Karnak #3 and 4 sitting in my comic stack...

Did you watch the new season? They tried to go x men but it got to messy for their own good.

my dark secret is that I read comics out loud with specific voices

My Cyclops voice :wow:

My Emma Frost voice :wow:

I tried to give it another shot as i don't watch many tv shows and it was abandoned after three or four episodes. I didn't even give The Strain season two a try, season one was just so bad-comics-y. I'm starting to think the new Suicide Squad is not going to be worth it, especially after Batman Rebirth i have no confidence in the Rebirth issue not being a complete waste of time.

 

[TheFlow]

Just read the Aqua man and detective previews. Damn the art is good.

Detective looks like it is going to be a more fun read than batman

 

[Sandfox]

That's something to keep an eye on, as is the news from last week that coming after "Civil War II" is another Marvel NOW! publishing initiative -- presumably new series, relaunches, that kind of thing. People are curious about Marvel going back to that name, as most still remember Marvel NOW! from 2012. What motivating revisiting that name once again?

Alonso: We just think it resonates -- especially with the distressed logo treatment that adds food for thought. "Civil War II" will create launch pad for new characters to emerge, old characters to step into the spotlight, new teams to form, and for characters to rise to new heights and fall to new depths. [The original] "Civil War" ended with huge ramifications for its key players -- Cap and Iron Man. You're going to see the same here.

The bolded seem to be what people really want so hopefully they nail it.

The premise for Detective sounds better than the premise for Batman IMO.

I liked the first season but after that I just watched because I hated my life lol.

Sandfox-yea detectives has a way more interesting premise
