It's a reboot (of sorts) of the series post "The Valiant" that's written by Jeff Lemire. Much moodier and darker.

I think Dark Days: The Forge wins the award of the amount of red flags raised in a single issue of DC comics right now.

Thats not the worst art I've seen but its pretty damn bad for a high profile book like SW.

Good red flags or the usual kind?

It's another series altogether.
exactly! lol
My suggestion, read The Valiant (if you haven't already) then Bloodshot Reborn. You'll have a really good time.

The good kind. The ones that I yell out "You Dense Motherfucker" whenever Batman does something.

Is Secret Warriors going to be a miniseries?
Dead Drop wins by virtue of being shorter.

Oh my God Taskmaster is everywhere this week and I love it. My boy is finally getting his dues.
I think the plan is for it to continue, but we'll see.
And no one would suspect him.

Fine, we'll rope Messi in to play the DCEU Maxwell Lord as the Black King of Checkmate, and Olivia Munn can play the Black Queen. Box office gold?

FYI, lots of repeats from the last one, but this one has a lot more stuff
Half of it isn't available in Europe. Loses its appeal rapidly.
All the Adventue Time, and Steven's Universe comics are blocked in South America (or Peru at least). Good thing IDGAF about those.

Anyone read the Defenders yet? Does it include the scenes from the FCBD issue? How was the issue as a whole? Really been looking forward to it and I cant pick it up till after work.
Also how was Secret Empire #4? Another big cliffhanger at the end? Did this one have the backup story?

This is hilarious.
The reason I don't like DC events is because I frequently don't feel like I have a good grasp on what's going on. People said rebirth was a good hopping on point, but I literally don't know wtf just happened in Dark Days the Forge. I can tell it's doing call backs, but I don't know to what. I'm probably going to skip metal; I don't like having to read wikia to understand the event I just read.

Metal is apparently gonna be drawing on a bunch of Snyder's older stuff. Probably not a great jumping on point.
I feel like a lot of DC events are like this. I think the Button and Lazarus Contract are exceptions in that you could very much not be reading one of the comics (I wasn't reading Flash or Deathstroke at the time) and still be able to follow along. But I really don't have a clue about anything in Dark Days. It looks like it's a paradigm shift too, so I'm worried something big might happen in it.

Ya'll are making me feel like I shouldn't have bought Dark Days: The Forge. The only Snyder stuff I've read is Court of Owls and I jumped into comics with The New 52 so I don't think I'd get these references. I looked at a few spoilers on the comicbooks subreddit and had no idea wtf I was looking at until I read the comments.

Well, they way they're been talking about it, it seems more like they're using it as a spinoff point for the Dark Matter line than something with implications for the rest of the 'verse. So I don't think it'll be required reading like Doomsday Clock probably will be.

Future's End butchered Terry Mcginnis' debut in the New 52. He became a discount Kyle Reese!

Not having shelf space left helps
I honestly can't remember the last time I ordered anything from them.
Oh.

If we're talking bad art, issue 4 of Elektra and every issue of Generation X is rough. Like, it's a struggle to read cause it's distractingly bad.
-----
I feel like I missed an issue of Defenders and this is the first issue.
I generally don't buy a lot of print stuff anymore, but when I do I just order it from Amazon. IST shipping has always been super slow for me so whatever difference there is in price is offset by how long it takes to get stuff.

How old are we talking here? You mean Court of Owls stuff or his pre-new 52 run.

The problem with Dead Drop is that it felt like Kot didn't really get the characters he was writing. They were all written very one-note, and the story didn't make a lot of sense.

That seems fair given how much that story line is used in Dark Days.

I feel like Dead Drop is one of those books like the newest Hawkeye, where the inside of the book doesn't justify the great cover.
