Yup.
Nope. DC are gonna act like that never happened. For good reason. Even though I enjoyed it. It was the wrong direction to go with her.

Man, you guys. I forgot I took this picture. I went outside to go to work this morning at like 6:45am, and the lighting was absolutely beautiful. Light fog in the distant trees under a rising sun, airy clouds slowly passing through. What a sight. It almost made waking up for work at 6am not utterly miserable.

Where are all of the buildings? Where are the creepy costumed people?

The vampire arc wasn't nearly as bad as the outer space arc. No question.

That's the worst part of it. I used to work night shift at a hotel working the front desk. Best part was being able to bring my laptop in and using their super fast internet lol.

Wow. Daredevil really has turned it around. Fucking awesome book.
I still think Batwoman as a Vampire is a cool idea.
I should maybe read the other trades...
Yup first arc was dog shit and now it's cool beans

Rebirth rankings!
WW>Action Comics>Detective Comics>Aquaman>Flash
Flash felt too much like rehash, AM was just ok and mostly catch up.
I love the premise of DC but thought the set up at the end was kind of meh.
Action Comics and WW both I really loved.With WW I loved the working of the shifting origin mixing in with the overall DC theme and it's a great jumping on issue without feeling too much like a catch up.

Ooof, I'm still busy all night, rarely get time to even look at this thread at work on a break. I'm just happy that less folks are around on nights.
I know you've probably already answered, but what of the current Rebirth sale is worth getting on CMX. I'm going to the digital dark side, guys. It is scary.
Have any of you guys read any of the delcourt books on sale right now?

Take them of. These things are pointless, your iPad is protected by Gorilla Glass, not by that cheap plastic that was used on tumbphones.Fucking three air bubbles that won't fuck off underneath my iPad screen protector
Stokoe joint? That is getting bought when I get home. I'll look into Pathfinder as well thanks.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I would, but thats £20 I've paid for a protector
I've yet tor ead my Orc Stain books
These are great suggestions.
Did Orc Stain ever end? I remember like a year delay and lost track :/

Destiny is back baby!!!!!
Stokoe indeed. Someone posted a page of his from either Godzilla in Hell or one of his Secret Wars tie in issues, and I was immediately reminded of Orc Stain. I haven't seen an image from that book since 2010, and they were so incredible that they stuck with me. Need more of his art in my life. Such dense work.
There are only seven, and they trade in

Been delayed since 2012. It'll probably have new issues at the same time I get a conclusion to Fell.

I've added up the first 3 HC volumes of the Turtles IDW comics in the sale and it comes to £40.84. The RRP of them is £38 but the first one that came out 2 years ago has only dropped to around £24 so there is a massive saving to getting the digital version.
Plus I've just seen that the 2014 annual was re-released in a deluxe version on 8th June and they have added colour. Same price as the regnal version of it as well.
I read the first issue and thought it was okay so I'll get the first volume and if I like it I'll pick up the rest.

Comixology is having a Deadpool vs Gambit sale. Currently, there's a pricing error for Deadpool Vol 1. Pretty sure they meant to discount the first Duggan Deadpool trade (Dead Presidents), but they've accidentally discounted the ANAD Deadpool series (that trade just came out). Just FYI.

I like the new Daredevil run so much.
It feels like Daredevil.
And Ron Garney has reached peak Garney, he's near Epting status. Soule is doing a great job on the characterisation - so many writers get lazy, and have Murdock's powers take away any kind of problem his blindness might present. Feeling the warmth of letters on computer screens or other nonsense. Soule makes him work for it, and the character s richer for it.
I also dig the new costume, it looks dynamic but feels classic.

Just saw More_Badass in that Stranger Things thread mentioning Paper Girls so I'm just going to pop up again to say that it really is just the best. Chiang is killing it on art, and it's got that patented Brian K. Vaughn weirdness. I bloody love it. Pretty pumped to see how the story develops.
Fucking three air bubbles that won't fuck off underneath my iPad screen protector
even minor scratches annoy me on that screen, so I got can understand the desire to put one on it.
but in practice trying to do it on that big ass screen without dealing with air bubbles and trapped spots can drive someone like me insane, so fuck it

Finished reading the Rebirth stuff.
Flash was okay. Felt too much of a retread of DC Rebirth. I like where it's going though.
I wanted to like Aquaman. It felt like it was written for someone who doesn't care much about the character but I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it. It was still decent and I'll give it a couple of issues but it's likely I'll probably end up dropping it.
I enjoyed Detective Comics. It felt a bit rushed but it seems like a great book to pick up.
Wonder Woman... was a mess. I kind of had an idea of what was going on... but not really. Didn't enjoy reading it at all.
Action Comics was my favorite. I really like where it seems to be going. Though I could've done without

young Clark showing up. The older Clark with his son and Lois seemed so interesting, and I hope they headline the comic.
Finished Xenoblade X finally, so that means maybe I can start reallocating the little free time I have a bit.
Also, jesus Archie comics. I'm not letting it get to me too much since I did essentially say "f$^@ it" and grabbed like everything back in that Valentine's sale that they forgot to exclude such things, but... the latest trade of Mega Man, which had gotten delayed since at least February 2015 alongside the whole Sonic/Mega Man line, seems to have disappeared off of Amazon. So that's presumably dead, which sucks since I at least wanted to own all of Mega Man physically (since it's on "hiatus" which I'm assuming code for dead). That makes two trade lines at least (the other being Sonic Saga) that have died in the course of these infinite delays.
Man, I would be so, so much happier with things if IDW or someone could just find a way to swallow up Archie so these things could be handled in at least a somewhat competent manner (though of course that's never going to happen, probably)...

I read volume 1 of Low earlier and damn it's a downer. This isn't really what I pictured the book to be when I read the opening passage he wrote about being less of a pessimist. I get what he's going for though and I'm along for the ride because this was a great introduction. That art as well holy shit. There's some weird perspective things going on sometimes where characters heads get squished to give the allusion of depth but dear god so beautiful.
How much do you make?
Let's get roight into the newse.

It's actually his most optimistic book. It is definitely a downer but optimism is one of its central themes, and that becomes clearer as the book progresses. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Out of his books it is the best. It is going to be a downer for the next volume as well.
I think black science is the most optimistic of the books he has at image.

It got crazy hot over the weekend but it's 59 degrees here now. Weather has been all over the place. I guess it's supposed to rain later.
