I'm at the end of the first omni. Haven't read anything in a week, but I have a long weekend coming up so I'm gonna read some more. It's great so far though, I'm glad I picked it up. Kirby made such a cool cast of characters and story.
The rights are owned by Constantin Film.

How often do you read comics? Is it a daily thing for you?

Wow, Slott was critical of his own work. I still have no idea if Alpha was supposed to be part of a larger story at first.

Squirrel Girl and Gwenpool are the only reason I keep intermittently resubbing.
Gwenpool actually makes me feel more melancholic...
I'm still 4 or so issues ahead of where gwenpool is on MU, but I can finish civil war 2....

I'd say no. Immediately after Vol. 3 is a crossover between JLD and Constantine (which is a series that was largely mediocre at best) that is also a tie-in for Forever Evil, which was the even going on at the time (it's also fucking radical as hell). So that volume is bad even IF Lemire did a small amount of work on it. Everything including and past that is written by DeMatteis who just doesn't know what he's doing. Just throwing shit against the wall and seeing if it works. I think I'm technically missing the last volume, so I haven't even finished it. I genuinely couldn't be bothered at the time. The first three volumes are awesome though, and at the time I was reading it I was really really enjoying it a whole lot.
Well that looks fun. Looks like I'm checking out my second Valiant book.
Amen brother
That's....actually terrifying.
Gatdamn that's money
I fall asleep 5-6 pages into any comic. It's a curse

Reminder: I'll be on a flight to LA from Sweden tomorrow(to be precise it's in 14 hours)and I don't think the plane will have WiFi so I'll be off the grid for like 15 hours most likely.
If SGM's Batman book or any other news is announced during those hours and I don't post about it I'm not actually dead.
(Btw does anyone know if there are any cool signings or events in LA or NYC over the next 10 days?)

Like any other publisher, not everything is going to appeal to everyone. I just dig what they're doing company-wide and I love most (not all) of their books, so I try to spread the love. They also don't release many books per month, so they're easy to keep track of. Actually, Dr. Mirage is a book I enjoyed, but wasn't too crazy about and rarely giving glowing recommendations for; others enjoyed it a lot. It just depends on what you're in for. As for the first XO series, that was heavy on the origin story for the first few volumes, but it picked up a lot of steam as it went along.
Secret Weapons is kind of an offbeat team-up of a group of young adults with useless powers. It's written by one of the screenwriters of the film Arrival. If that appeals to you, I'd say give it a shot.

Usually two weeks before Amazon. It'll be up on IST next Tuesday, if you want an exact date.

Thanks! I figured it would be sooner rather than later but just wanted to be sure. I wonder how fast it will sell, seems like Marvel has been either printing more recently or they havent been selling as well as in the past. Any idea what the price will be on IST?
Willingham thought his cliffhanger was unsolvable and Orlando called him within 30 minutes of getting the script to say he figured out to solve the death trap.
Around 50% off RRP or 42% if it's not one of the weekly deals.

lmao, owned
Willingham actually says it was five. Which is funnier.

Eh, not in the mood. I've been kinda the same recently. Think it's time to start chopping books off the pull list again and just go to my favorites.
Direct market retailers (like comic shops and IST) usually get books one to two weeks before regular retailers (like Amazon). In this case, it will be two weeks, or July 5th (well, technically, it will be up on IST on July 4th.)

What's wrong with being excited for comics! I got all last months Batman and Flash! and the first issue of Secret Weapons!
I also caved and will probably go digital on a few to save some cash...
