Sad to hear about Iceman. I've long been a fan of the character. Part of the reason is his power set. I grew up somewhere cold and I enjoy the idea of creating and sliding on an ice bridge. And I read some issues from an excellent Iceman mini series from the 80's. It blew my mind and I never forgot it.
I was sad to discover when I got more in to comics that iceman is a big joke and generally written horribly. Guys who never stop telling obvious, stupid jokes? I hate those guys

Hope it goes the way of Jericho's in Deathstroke.

That Avenger X fight was lame as fuck. It was cool to see
Flintstones
I cried, can't believe it's over. 12 incredible issues though, not a single miss.

Thor without her helm for the first time, and Doom is always a pleasure to see in action. Hercules is the worst jobber in the team, almost as bad as Vision.

Yeah I remember when the stories always covered how Bobby used the jokes to cover up his insecurities about his tough childhood and how he never reached the potential of what his mutant powers could achieve.
I still remember a classic issue of when him and Rogue stopped by his childhood home and it showed his horrible father and how his childhood was. Don't remember if it was just a normal issue or an iceman mini series issue.
I don't know Damian is still dead
I'm buying full priced comics on cmx, this wasn't supposed to happen. Deadly class 28 was still good, people here kinda heavily hinted into spoiler territory at what's been going on but it hasn't hindered my enjoyment much.
Walking dead 168 was okay

This is a dumb equivelancy.
You're about 2 steps away from complaining that there's no straight pride parades.

Spider-Man #17 - Enjoyed Miles' fight with Hammerhead, especially since this is the first time he's straight up ever gotten into a punch-out brawl, but with Felicia likely returning in the next issue this is starting to feel like a bit of a retread of the first arc from this run.

I bought three Marvel books. I am part of the problem.
If you preordered them, you're helping.
But Marvel keeps forgetting to tell people how the system works.

Of course I didn't. Who preorders digital comics?

Well this is going to go well

yes it is
Yeah, but it was as part of a linewide Dark Horse sale. They're not very frequent with it though. Feels like once or twice a year

So outside American Flagg, what has he written that's actually worth reading?
His most well regarded stuff is from the mid 80s to 1990 (so Flagg, The Shadow, Blackhawk, Time^2, and Black Kiss which he did all one after another). I'm not the biggest Chaykin guy though, because while I like his art, his actual writing is really tedious in my experience.
I liked Avengers and Batman a lot. I think Avenger X would make an interesting MCU villain, maybe for the Defenders. GotG continues to be surprisingly good. I didn't expect anything, but I've liked it so far. Black Bolt feels like the type of comic that gets cancelled because no one reads it, even though I personally love it.

Biggest problem I have with this issue of Batman? What happened to all the talk of this being a prelude and leading into Jokes and Riddles? What the one throw away line about when they met that was basically word for word the same thing said during Rooftops?
I LIKE YOU!
What if the Jokes and Riddles thing is just a flashback for a story Bruce is telling Selina about some dumb thing he did in the past.

Marvel: "We need to promote this book. How much cash you got on you?"
Writer: "Huh? I'm broke. Isn't that your job?"
Marvel: "Secret Empire promos ain't cheap. Fam we're all struggling here."

Bruce has referred a couple times to Salina and Bruce meeting, but I still wouldn't consider this issue a prelude because of one line of dialogue.
Haha is it? I'm not reading the book so I just made that up to be a smart ass

Nothing of that actually comes from the issue itself.

Nice of them to introduce Viv's future girlfriend in Champions
Why does Kamala never shape shift? The first thing she did was turn into Carol Danvers after she got her powers and she hasn't done it since.

So it guess it has nothing to even do with them meeting? Seems odd, they've brought it up a couple times now.
Okay, so Patrick Zircher posted a pic of the first Rebirth OHC deluxe edition (Action Comics). A few couple of things here get me pumped like crazy.
Firstly, PRINTED ART COVER BOARDS. YES. No crappy plain black cover boards. This will likely be indicative of how they will do it on Rebirth deluxe editions going forward.
Secondly, from what little we see of the dust jacket, it looks like they'll be using standard Rebirth branding and design, which will LIKELY mean consistent matching spines, like the Marvel NOW OHCS. YES.

We've seen their "meetings" in Rooftops unless they're going even further back.

It's just the same as the ones they've done for All Star Batman and the crossover HCs like Night Of The Monster Men right? I have those two. It would have been weird if they'd done anything else and made those mismatch.
Should have that same spine design. Keep in mind, though, All Star Batman and Night of the Monster Men are just regular hardcovers, not part of DC's oversized deluxe edition line. I was a little bit worrried, because all of DC's deluxe editions have different designs. Like, none of their New 52-era OHCs have the New 52 spine design from their trades and HCs. So part of me worried they would do the same here.
Glad to see they'll probably be sticking with their regular Rebirth design.
Consistent branding until they change branding mid runs?

Pretty sure they've mentioned specifically the first time they ever met twice which made me keep thinking it was going to come up during Jokes and Riddles.
Like this issue they refer to them first meeting when she stole the diamond and they disagree where they first met. It's the second time it's come up. That's what I was thinking the connection was going to be, like it would take place during Jokes and Riddles or something along those lines.

That looks good. Only small problem with this example - you'll have to read Action Comics.

Any recommendations for comic review sites or blogs?
None are all that good these days, so I wouldn't recommend them.

I mostly go to Comicbookroundup.com and just go from there picking which reviews I do and don't want to check more into.
That was not King setting things up, he was referencing past stories. Bruce is remembering their meeting in Batman #1 and Catwoman is remembering them meeting in #404.
