New Avengers #12: What is my deal with this book. I have to force myself to read it but when I do it's almost always an excellent ride. This issue legit made me lol:

Spoiler

"Not the toilets, though. I delegate that."

"I am proud to szzerve you, master! PROUD to record their EVERY defecation in HIGH-DEFINITION VIDEO!"

Spoiler

The New Revengers

are a bit...underwhelming, though.

Spoiler

Even I don't know who half those dudes are.

And I guess every CW II tie in is required to

Spoiler

start with the scene of that Celestial throwing down? I get that pretty much everybody was there for that but it's already kinda old.

 

[Rhaknar]

Is my boy Sandoval still on New Avengers or did they boot him off because America is all "ew anime gross"?

Paco Medina drew the latest issue, not sure if it's permanent or temporary. Sandoval was on #11.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Medina is listed for 13 and 14 as well.

my entire gaming agenda for the last year can be summarized in Hearthstone, Rocket League, and Overwatch. Right now it's all overwatch all the time, but i might start uncharted 4 this weekend to try to create artificial sony e3 hype where there is none. This generation has been incredibly boring, maybe Witcher 3 would have had more of a lasting impact had i played the dlc but it really comes down to the trash story and flow built around meandering about in search for Ciri begging people for info that kept me from championing it. Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 were nice diversions but that's aboot it, i have already forgotten about both.

Nintendo is a mistake. I've given up on Microsoft.

All that remains is comics.

Go Tim Seeley go!

Though I do find it weird that DC put two of their three best writers on Flash and Wingnut and gave Batman and Superman to the B team.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Started watching Green Lantern: The Animated Series to both A) fill the action show void left in my heart after Daredevil S2's disappointment; B) finish an unfinished show (which means Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated is next up); C) follow up on all the GL love coming off of Blackest Night GL and Red Lanterns; D) get back in to that action cartoon mindset in order to fully appreciate the new Voltron series.

Anyways, GL:TAS is pretty good after the initial few episodes. Basic as far as arcs go, but it delivers on the action pretty well. Really cool seeing set up for

Spoiler

Sinestro Corps

. Also an interesting choice with

Spoiler

the Anti-Monitor

as a big bad. Is that character really that integral to Green Lantern mythos in the comics? Regardless, it's pretty solid show. Disappointed about its cancellation, but alas, tis the fate of a man to feel such when he's a fan of action cartoons. Also, ever since Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, I've become a full believer in CG being able to deliver just as well as 2D (though I still prefer the latter). I wonder if the TMNT cartoon's action will be more appealing to me now. I watched a season and a half of that show and then dropped it out of disinterest at the time. I've been meaning to go back to it.

Anyways, onwards to more Buffy S8. Picking up after cosmic sex should be interesting.

 

[Einchy]

Wow, that was fantastic.

Really love Abe's solo story, it reminds me a lot of something like Vagabond, where it's not all monster fighting like in BPRD but more about self-reflection and Abe's journey to find out what his purpose is.

Art was beautiful, too.

 

[PsychBat!]

New Revengers??? Hmmmmm... Paibok and Vermin!?!? Together at last!

Man in all seriousness I haven't seen Paibok since the Drax miniseries way back then.

 

[Einchy]

Interesting, seems like two brothers alternate chapters on Abe Sapien. They're styles are similar, though, that the book keeps a pretty consistent look to it.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Which has been really good so far.

Messi with a 20 minute hat trick as a sub. The GOAT.

I had time between overwatch games. No worries

 

[Phamit]

I bought my first Single Issues today

DC Rebirth #1
Flash Rebirth #1
Batman Rebirth #1
Wonder Woman Rebirth #1

and another Wonder Woman Rebirth #1 because I forgot about Variant covers, wow.

at least my comic stores offers 10% of for pre orders on US Comics, but I only pre ordered batman and DC Rebirth

 

[Zombine]

Stray Bullets is no joke. Read that first story and I was at the edge of my seat. If the whole series plays around with pulp and Tarantino-esque characters and storylines I'm in 100%.

I love how fast the book reads too. It'll help me get through it at a decent rate.

Edit:

Feel bad that I wont go on treasur huntimg with Nate again :/

Finish it and start on Love and Rockets Messi. I have a feeling you will really enjoy it.

 

[Poodlestrike]

That's not how these things work.

No, no, I get it.

I refuse to watch the last episode of Psych for the fame reason. As long as I don't, Shaun and Gus are still having wacky escapades somewhere.

This is it. I am terrified that Katchoo or Francine

dies or gets shot by the end of it. I can't deal with loss after such a long book.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Yeah I think so too. First arc with Maggie off in the jungle is a bit weird but it finds its groove pretty quickly after that.

Some people don't get ends to their books, Messi. Finish your periodicals before you go to bed or you're grounded, m8.

Seriously, how did Stray Bullets fans feel? If 10 is Half Life 3 and 1 is Chinese Democracy, where was your disappointment at? How did Stray Bullets end in your head canon?

that doesn't sound rentable. My hbo now free month is over but the game of thrones desires are still there. I might cave for one month to finish out this season.

Honestly I'm going to deduct a point from Zootopia now for not making a "school for ants" joke.

I started reading Sandman Mystery Theatre...damn, this is amazing! Why doesn't this get talked about more often? It's the best thing I've ever read from Matt Wagner, I didn't know he was a writer of prose on that level.

Really excited to dig into this after I order vol 1 on Tuesday.

 

[PsychBat!]

Which has been really good so far.

The current one?

I keep bringing it up whenever I can in recommendation threads. One of the best super-hero runs I've read. And it is also more than a just a super-hero comic. I love how the time period and societal conditions at that time are depicted.

 

[Brian Fellows]

The current one?

No the old one. I just start the road to Annihilation.

 

[PsychBat!]

Oh nice. Be sure to read the Thanos mini-series that came before.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Oh nice. Be sure to read the Thanos mini-series that came before.

Oh good call. It wasn't included in the MU reading list. But it was one of the first things I bought on CMX and I never got around to reading it. I'll do that today though it will be a bit out of order now.

I have to say I don't think the art in the Annihilation Prologue matched the epic nature in which the book was written. Not that the art was bad. Just seemed like poor style choice.

 

[diaspora]

Arcadia had some neat concepts but IMO it really didn't stick the landing.

 

[my name is ed]

Have their been any great fantasy esc books from publishers like Vertigo or Image lately that are worth checking out? Something akin to maybe Game of Thrones setting? As in the fantasy time period, not the same type of story necissarily. I don't want GoT the book, just can't think of a better way to describe what I'm looking for other than fantasy/medieval.

Also what are the recommended trades/arcs for Hellblazer for someone that hasn't read anything pre New 52? Are there any larger collections than the tpbs available also?

I asked the same question a week or two ago and it seemed like there are no good grim-dark fantasy comics.

However, if you haven't already read Berserk, I'd suggest checking that out, it's manga but it's exactly what you're looking for.

I haven't read it but Birthright might be what you're looking for. Tooth & Claw as well maybe

 

[Brian Fellows]

Good call. Especially with Birthright.

$5 first trades or buying image books monthly GO!?!

It's...it's GLORIOUS!

So glad I picked it up while it's $30 and don't regret getting it later.
