Anytime from now until when the October solicitations release would be my assumption.

Well semtembers solicits will drop any day now.
Not that I am waiting or anything. Refreshing every few hours. Nope, not at all.

You may have a problem. Maybe we should let Sillymonkey take over for a bit.
Before SDCC
I will die before I let that happen.
Which might be sooner than later. I was at the hospital today for heart and chest pains and a short blackout. So that was scary.
Yeah, solicitations come out on the second to last week of the month and that's coming up. The lack of teasers implies that we probably won't be seeing anything next week though.
I read the Marvel solicits every month just to see if Gwenpool still lives and if Gurihuru has stayed on the book.

Jesus Christ. Those Hot Toys invoices are taking their toll.
I think Wayne of Gotham would make one hell of a DCEU film.
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Unstoppable Wasp
Can we talk about the fact that Gwenpool
Ms Marvel
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Unstoppable Wasp
Can we talk about the fact that Gwenpool
just became the most powerful character in comics?

Bendis getting a book canned? Unlikely. Even International Iron Man was finished up to make way for them to do Infamous Iron Man with the same team.
Glad to hear it started well. Marquez art is amazing.
Bendis is actually Marvels safest bet right now. Its amazing lol.
Not like this.

Wayne of Gotham would make an incredible movie. Holy shit this is amazing.
That seems expected at this point or at least was i don't remember a time when he wasn't doing more books than half of marvel combined
Soule seems to be the closest

Ok, My Favourite Thing is Monsters is all kinds of amazing! It is depicted in the form of a diary/sketchbook of the lead character, a young middle school girl. Her view of the suspicious death of a neighbour, set in mid 20th century Chicago. Oh, she is also slightly obsessed with all things gory and monstery. I am only a little ways in so really excited to see where this goes.
Cool. Keep us posted. I had my eye on this for a while.

Sounds really interesting. I remember flipping through it a few weeks ago at the book store. The art was fantastic but I didn't realize it was a story. :O

Will do!
Yeah. Very unique presentation (like The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye last year) but it does have a clear narrative structure.
I say it was the ist order you placed that required anime gifs.
Yeah you should probably rest
I have little to no familiarity with comics. Comics were rare to see in anyone's hands while I was growing up so they always had a allure to them but I never really got into it as a result, even when I started having disposable income.
What started out as sheer curiosity on youtube, I ended up consuming a lot of videos just in the past few days of people talking about the current comic book industry and I came across some talking about Gwenpool, and most of it was really positive -- so I decided to read a couple issues online, and I REALLY liked it.
I'm generally familiar (due to my youtube binges) with the changes I would find jarring if I just jumped in, like having successors to Cap America and Thor, and the "All New All Different" Marvel reboot of sorts, new characters, etc., but of course I haven't read any of them. People seem pretty split about the quality of Marvel comics these days, many of them being pretty lukewarm.
But anyway, I ordered Gwenpool Vol 1 and 2, and looking forward to reading em! I could get them digitally I guess but as someone with zero comics on their shelf I'm excited just to have physical comics, since I actually don't own any...
Kind of weird to start off with a outsider meta character, but it got me interested.
But this does kind of open the door for me to read more comics and find stuff I like. A little bit of research will probably send me in the right direction, but if there are any currently running series that really stand out, please suggest away!
Just reading through this thread is pretty informative as well.

Welcome to the addiction!
You might like Spider-Gwen also, an alternate universe where Gwen Stacy was bitten by the spider instead of Peter Parker. Outside of superhero comics, I'm enjoying The Wicked + the Divine recently.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
It's really messed up that Sabrina's dad hijacked Harvey's body.
Anime girls laughing at you is the most demoralizing thing ever.
[edit]
I just came across the worst comics channel ever.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrlzSqLSGj8GIOeT5jrQsJA
It's so many videos of nothing but "SJW" bitching. Incredible.
I found his channel during my youtube comics binge lol
His propensity to bring up social politics (and his dislike of it in comics) is really repetitive and he vocalizes opinions that are clearly not PC. Definitely don't agree with everything he says but some things he brings up seems to have some weight, and I generally liked his videos so far. The thing that bothers me most is that he uses "SJW" in 2017 lol
And he just put up a vid about Gwenpool (and it seems positive)! Will watch.

Can we talk about how bonkers Remender's UXF roster is? Like okay you start safe enough:
Wolverine
Psylocke
Archangel
Deadpool
Fantomex (just to bring in some weird shit)
Then you accelerate by adding Deathlok. By the end of the run you have:
Wolverine
Deadpool
Psylocke
Kurt Darkholme (AoA Nightcrawler)
EVA (animated into human form on her own)
Like, that's nuts, right?
THANK YOU

Loved Loved Loved Caput Mortuum. I really like how Lobster Johnson just throws himself into danger.
Checked out Spider-Gwen, and I'm really liking the art. Really loose and dynamic figure work! Will def keep it in mind.
The premise of The Wicked + The Divine seems pretty awesome!

Thanks so much for all the replies, I think I got everyone. I wanna get a whole bunch of what was recommended. I'll probably start with Spidey, Super Dinosaur, and Lumberjanes. After that try Moon Girl, Gotham Academy, Monster Society, & Squirrel Girl. I'd love to get him the Khan Ms. Marvel if someone knows it's not anything above about PG.
I was also wondering if there's anything along the lines of Saga or Divinity that was at that PG level (or even if those books are) I'd like to get one book that really aimed big.

Oh awesome, he's been teasing his all ages project on his site for awhile now. Gotta say I'm surprised it'll be from Image if he's looking to grab a wider audience, I had kind of assumed it would be on a Boom imprint or maybe even one of the larger book publishers. Looks very fun.
Why, if they are all good. Which they are.
Saga is most definitely not pg.

Oh sorry, I totally missed this before. My kid is 9 so I've had troubles with this kind of stuff. He loved Super Dinosaur, he really loves the Art Baltazar/Franco stuff like Itty Bitty Hellboy and Superman Family. Lil Gotham. Not exactly a comic but the Pokemon Adventures manga has engulfed him and hits just the right level for his age.

Dont forget the short stint Captain Briton put in lol. Such an awesome book that will probably never be done again in this day. It has to be one of the most graphic and darkest book Marvel has put out in atleast a while.
Saga is most definitely not.
Ms Marvel is a great book, though they are teenagers so there might be mentions of alcohol for example if that bothers you, there's no sex scenes or anything else too shocking. It's rated Teen and Up by Marvel.

Question about Dark Days: The Forge
Why is Green Lantern so big when he's fighting Duke? He looks like a giant in one of those panels. Can he manipulate his size?

I have a request. Please recommend me the current top 10 of the best monthly comic series which are on the market at the moment (10 because i only have money for ten per month).
Thanks!
PS. Saga is already on my list.

Astro City
Usagi Yojimbo
The Wild Storm
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Gwenpool
Giant Days
Wonder Woman
Superman
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
If someone forced me to buy single issues, I think it would be these at the moment. Have to see a lot more of the last three to strongly recommend them though.

Doom Patrol should be one of those 10.
