I'm not sure how I missed this post/news but I am very hyped. I loved Astro City and can't wait for the new series.
It's annoying is what it is. The first two issues could easily have been one and it would have been a fine first issue. Maybe the pacing will change because something better, chromium covers aren't enough.

I can't say I was a huge fan of B&R 18. I picked it up on a whim based on the acclaim here, and I didn't think it was all that great.
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were basically co-showrunners on Lost. They steered the ship.
We've seen what Lindelof has done after Lost and it hasn't been very great. Cuse's first real project since Lost is A&E's Bates Motel, which premieres on Monday. He and a writer from Friday Night Lights and Parenthood are the main EPs on that.
Cuse is also working on adapting Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's novel series The Strain for FX.
stuff like this i don't understand
no one likes the book
so why are you waiting for the trade? why not just skip it altogether like i do with nearly every one of these events

Hey ComicGAF. Didn't even know you existed. 
I was wondering if you guys maybe could help me. I've run across this Marvel character I have no idea who it is. Maybe anyone of you knows who she is?
She utilizes those swords and has a projectile launcher on her arm (similar to Black Widow's).

^Okay, that one definitely has me stumped. I don't think I've ever seen her before.

Where did you see her?

This is the only image I was shown. The person who showed me also mentioned that gun on her wrist and that she uses those swords.
I don't have any more information, sadly. :/
She looks familiar to me, but I can't recall who she was.
Yeah, I think he mentioned it was from that game, but I don't know where he found that picture.

I actually flip through trades when at Barnes & Noble. Rarely do I actually buy trades of events (I really have to like the event). Arcs yes, events nope.

Me too, actually. I did buy the hardcovers for both Planet Hulk and House of M, because I thought they were pretty spectacular. They still hold up pretty damn well.

Has anything more been said about making the free Marvel comics available again on Comixology?

I don't care what y'all say about AOU, it has Moon Knight in it and he's the shit. His series by Bendis/Maleev was one of my favorites in recent years, wish it went longer.
It even had an Ultron head in it, maybe this ties in.

Good mini series, there were a few good mini series coming out of the Marvel Knights line at that time. Silver Surfer Requiem was another

Oh man. Yeah, B&R 17&18 are just amazing. The level of detail calling back to the little moments in this series-the unfinished painting, Damien's trophies from the other Robins, etc. very good stuff.

Actually I agree, I read the issues last night and they were really really good. As I was saying the other day, this book is good when it's not got stupid hamfisted villians shoved into it. #18 especially was very affecting and poignant. I really am going to miss Damian and the dynamic of having a younger Robin around the place.
Also read Batman #18 last ngiht and really enjoyed it too. Was a nice treat to get some Maleev at the end, I didn't know he could work at DC. All the way through I was thinking "this new guy is good, reminds me of Maleev" and whaddaya know. I thought the story was nice, but it is perhaps a little too reminiscent of A Lonely Place of Dying, especially ironic as a sequel to a Death In/Of the Family. Hoping the Snyder can dodge the inevitable story we can all see coming and do something interesting that doesn't end in a pointless death. I liked how Harper didn't care about who Batman was as a person, that gave me a little more hope for the direction. As it is it's a little too Tim Drake/Sasha Bordeaux right now, but perhaps that just tells me I've been reading Batman comics for too long.

So, I finished Age of Ultron 2.
Damn, this is pretty cool. I like the setting, the characters are acting as they should, and all seems good for now. I'm following it for sure.
I also read the latest Walking Dead.
Eh. Meow, I guess.
Nothing else seemed surprising. I mean, is it just me, or is this chapter pretty lame? I mean, I like Negal, or whatever. He seems interesting. Everything else is rubbish.
Finally, I started the Justice League of America with the first issue. I thought it was alright for an introduction. Is it any good later on in the story?

So true. The dynamic between Alfred, Bruce, Damien and Dick (and Titus) were the highlights of the book-not the crime fighting highjinks. That's why I'll miss Damien-it was such a fresh relationship to explore in Batman....and now we're back to status quo. I don't like it.

Yeah, when Bruce tucked Damian in bed at the end of #17, all the more heartbreaking when you think of what's about to do down. And Tomasi painting Damian as the person Bruce sees as saving him as a lovely touch too. They're going to have to be so careful not to break Batman now, in a way I'm glad that Snyder is taking time away from the main timeline (and the other books are C grade fanfiction to me). I will be interested to see what Tomasi is doig with the teamups now. As long as the villains are kept to 3 pages an issue I'm happy.

Pretty sure hes just going to finish standing up by the end of next issue. Its might even be a double spread.
The only explanation I want is why Tony is wearing that stupid tron suit.

I don't think Snyder's Batman is really holding my interest anymore. It's a shame because his Detective was great.

LAZARUS #1 GEM OF THE MONTH
story GREG RUCKA
art/cover MICHAEL LARK
JUNE 26
32 PAGES / FC / M
$2.99
"FAMILY," Part One
In a dystopian near-future, government is a quaint concept, resources are coveted, and possession is 100% of the law. A handful of Families rule, jealously guarding what they have and exploiting the Waste who struggle to survive in their domains. Forever Carlyle defends her family's holdings through deception and force as their protector, their Lazarus. Shot dead defending the family home, Forever's day goes downhill from there...
Probably a safe a bet as any. We'll find out in a few months.

I guess you missed my post where I said that I look at trades while at Barnes & Nobel (or my LCS) lol.
I buy arcs in trades, rarely do I buy events mang.
Anyways, thanks tumblr for feeding me this by Phil Noto:

Hes not bad. Atleast he actually draws. That one issue of UXF he did where wolverine and nightcrawler2 track down iceman was pretty awesome.

Heh, I actually find his BW a little off, but his Clint looks similar to Aja's - with more detail.

but seriously, was there a more miscast artist for UXF than Phil Noto? And don't say Liefeld, his EXTREMENESS works on all his EXTREME books
You can't really count his UXF stuff because Dean White can make anyone look like a million bucks.

Still being released and I really enjoy them. People will dismiss this out of hand but they're better than Morrison's current run on Action Comics. You heard me.

Messiah complex my first introduction to badass Cyclops good times...
Loved both those events. Probably my two favourite X-Men events ever, had a proper "big shit is going down and we're screwed" feeling to it and I loved the X-Force tie-ins. It's a shame the X-books have gone downhill quite a bit since then.
