I wasn't going to pick up ANXM but I'm in love with David Marquez... gorgeous.


Holy god and his angels.....Szymon Kudranski (Guy who did the stunning Penguin mini) on Green Lantern's dead issue is glorious!

Rocafort on Superman is keeping my nipples erect. Great week of comics so far!

 

[B-Dubs]

i enjoyed waypool but at some point it became rote and i stopped enjoying it. between deadpool MAX and UXF deadpool was awesome. now we get 4thwall joke deadpool again.

It had some fun arcs early on. Deadpool vs Thunderbolts, the X-Men team up and Dark Reign were all really fun reads.

Wow, Earth 2 and Worlds' Finest were both spot on this month. Poor Helena... =(

How is Earth 2? It has me kind of interested.

 

[slightconfuse]

is the new series good. i liked the firs tissue but decided to wait for the trade

 

[krypt0nian]

Honestly I thought it started strong, lost it's way for a few, and now is super strong. He's found his stride. I look forward to it more than most books, and Nicola Scott's art and layouts should be getting raves, but no one reads it.

Woman is fierce.

Nicola Scott is truly Above God Tier.

What's the deal with this Sleeper omnibus by Brubaker from Vertigo? I assume it has a following to get the omnibus treatment.

It's the first Brubaker/Phillips collaboration that Phillips drew.

I freaking love E2, one of my top books every month. Nicola Scott was near Reis/Manapul tier before this month, and after reading this issue has entered it. I love the world Robinson is building, I swear he's the only one who really took the N52 initiative to heart in creating his world and characters.

All New X-Men 8

Spoiler

Those last two pages, Jeannie aint playing! Pretty much guaranteed Angel goes over to Cyclops crew now.

Green Lantern 18

Spoiler

Well I guess Hal Jordan being the "Greatest Black Lantern" will come into play shortly now that Sinestro and Baz left him behind.

Age of Ultron 1
Crap, and Hitch drawing the interior of a building for 15 pages was a waste

 

[BJK]

Age of Ultron # 1 reads like a tie-in book to an ongoing crossover, and not the start of a world-shattering event.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

ANXM honestly has me a little worried, about the upcoming recruitment issue... I thought

Spoiler

it would be Angel or Cyke who goes over, now I'm not so sure.

...What if it's Jean?

EDIT: Not saying that will happen, obviously there's a big hurdle in the way of that; just, after this issue things aren't looking so certain anymore.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Does anyone know where I can find release dates of upcoming issues of Injustice: Gods Among Us?

Also would like to know where I can buy a physical copy of it

it comes out on digital every Tuesday

the print version is probably one a monthish, I'm not sure. I think I saw #2 at the shop last week

 

[slightconfuse]

Someone made. A famine figure

[Sblargh]

Well Age of Ultron was terrible. If you'd just done a fat one page text box of "Theres loads of Ultrons, apocalyptic future, superheroes are in hiding" and a collage we'd have moved shit along faster than whatever the fuck that was.

Yeah, not feeling Age of Ultron either. It was also very weird that

Spoiler

Luke Cage was super opposed to rescuing Spider-man, but Hawkeye just had to do it anyway. Feels like you can throw any name in there at this point. Like, Beta Ray Bill was super opposed to rescuing Moon Knight, but Patsy Walker just had to it anyway.

 

[Owzers]

Fed Ex sucks, I got another

"Delivery exception

Customer not available or business closed"

bull, no one even knocked on my door. This is the third or so time this has happened with my dcbs shipment.

edit: They delivered them to the apartment's office/club house/office. COMICS. Time to do what i always do, read Walking Dead and then read random dc stuff and complain about things. For instance, i get to read the end of Rotworld now.....

Yea that was sort of weird considering

Spoiler

how close the two were in Bendis's run. They were bros.

 

[phazedplasma]

Wasn't age of ultron written years ago? I feel like they probably just changed the ending to have it affect current continuity status quo.

Regardless the last thing we need is another decompressed bendis event that is essentially Marvel's rot world.

 

[Owzers]

If Age of Ultron were 6 issues i'd be in, maybe it would be some fun times. At 10 it wasn't really up for debate coming off the back of AvX's 12 issue snoozefest in which writers take turns seeing who can waste the most number of pages playing Hope tag.

 

[Supermanisdead]

All New X-Men #8 and A+X #5 were amaaaaazing today. I didn't like Sex #1.

 

[slightconfuse]

the iceman/kitty convrsation in ANXM was amazing. Bendis is on fire

 

[Owzers]

Animal Man and Swamp Thing #17 were worse than i could have ever imagined, mostly thanks to the ending. How is that the "finale" to Rotworld? Is the #18 epilogue issues supposed to be the actual ending? This is ridiculous. I'm going to sell my whole Swampy New 52 run along with Rotworld thingy thing on ebay and wash my hands of both franchises.

0/5 rating from me. Burn the issues to keep warm during this snowstorm.

I really wasn't a fan either. The whole

Spoiler

Parliament of Rot

thing was a bit too much of a convenient deus ex machina. But then again, I thought Rotworld as a whole was a pretty shitty story arc anyway. I just don't like rotting hunk-of-flesh monsters in general. In comics, movies, or video games. They're the most generic thing in the god-damned world.

I had some fun with it in places but it went on too long, and now it has a terrible ending...and the "rotworld" event thing itself felt redundant since you basically were being told the same story twice in both Animal Man and Swampy. The plotting layouts were too similar, a few pages with baker/alec, then a few pages of his daugter and abby set in the past. Same "i have to find them!" theme between the two.

Soooooooooooooooo that was 34 issues of Rotworld with a bad ending. Regret.

This is every Bendis book ever.

 

[slightconfuse]

anyone else notice that wolverine was wearing his new defenders costume in Age of ultron

 

[Acid08]

Picked up Sex on a whim because there was only one left on the rack. Hope it's good.

Also idk why but I thought Fraction was writing it for some reason.

 

[slightconfuse]

Cable and x-force was really good this week

 

[Rrongfield]

Cable and x-force was really good this week

the only change from panel to panel is Nemesis' head angle.

 

[jon bones]

ANXM was fantastic, but I hate all of you for talking about an issue that clearly hasn't come out yet. Why can't we just read issues as they come out?

Avengers is still gearing up... it's good, but I know Our Lord and Savior Hickman needs more time to get things flowing.

Still need to read:
Green Arrow
Lost Vegas
as well as Witch Doctor & Prophet from last week

 

[Nesotenso]

What is Casey's SEX even about ?
spy comic ?

 

[Supermanisdead]

no idea. they just kept talking and i was like "where's the sex???"

i'm not going to continue this series.

I think Our Lord and Savior is delivering from issue one. Avengers is just pure superhero sci-fi joy. I don't even mind the pacing, it is like a diorama, it's beautiful just to see the parts move.

 

[ReiGun]

Age of Ultron was a whole lot of nothing.

I suppose I could give ANXM a whirl, since you all will not stop raving about it.

 

[Splatt]

Ugh, Rotworld is finally over. Took all the momentum from both books and eased my decision to drop them.

 

[Cr0wn0]

Anyone know of a calendar or a easy to run through list of release dates? I would ideally like to just add them to my google calendar.

 

[Rrongfield]

The only possible complaint I can say about All-New X-Men is that it ends too soon.
Bendis-decompression is the only thing that keeps it from being my favourite ongoing comic. If only I was able to wait for the trades...

Green Lantern is giving a really great sendoff arc to Johns. This issue was really good and with amazing art.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

See Also: All comics.

 

[tim1138]

Anyone else get a kick out of this week's Channel 52 bit? I loved the Detective Chimp reference, he needs to show up officially in the N52 some where.

 

[Freezasaurus]

no idea. they just kept talking and i was like "where's the sex???"

i'm not going to continue this series.

After one issue? I usually give a book at least three before I determine whether to keep or drop.

 

[slightconfuse]

Witchblade was really awesome this week. some nice pay of from artifacts.

World finest had an intresting set up and the end

 

[Troll]

Spiderman

Spoiler

When Parker gets his body back I wonder if he tells people that he isn't the one that killed Massacre. Spectacular Spiderman is really good right now. Can't wait to see how Green Goblin plays into it.

I lost Liefelds Extreme Talent Competition. Worst mistake of his life.....

LOL.

I thought that's what it might be. Better luck next time I guess.
