That would be incredible. Can we make this site? Drudge is probably the easiest site in the world to copy.

You could use a cbr reader like you do for all your other pirated comi---- uhh, I mean, for all those cbr files you obtain totally legally.
(using the royal 'you' btw, I know you're not a filthy comix thief)

I got the first Hawkguy-tpb in the mail today. I've never read a simple chapter of it, so I'm basically a virgin with the franchise. I just ordered it blind because of the overt praise it was receiving in here and because it just seemed like a kickass-comic 
So, after hitting reply, I'm heading to my comfy couch to indulge myself. Excited.

Awesome, the recommendations on here got me to check it out on Comixology, really pleased that I did. I was in the same position you are/were so I'm glad people are talking it up because it's great.
The BKV/Martin comic is called The Private Eye and you can pay whatever price you what for the first issue (I assume all are like this) on panelsyndicate.com. There will be ten issues.
Haven't been able to buy the comic as there's a problem with their Paypal account, apparently. Will try again in a little while.

Was slightly interested. Then saw no print. So no buy.

You weren't kidding, bros. Definitely worth every bit of praise it gets. I might even consider going digital for this
You could take all the PDFs and eventually get them printed at a printer if you cared that much, right?

C'mon son.
I am simply voicing my disapproval of digital only. I buy several titles that are digital first (which I have no issue with) in their print formats.
Edit: Although I do approve of the DRM free. Typing digital comics to accounts is grade-A bullshit. Even the music industry has learned.
what's the best format to get it in if going to an ipad? I downloaded an app called comicbooklovers despite it making me seem like i'm going to do inappropriate things to comics, it reads cbz and cbr files.
It's a little scary that a BKV/Martin comic isn't a hyped print release though. I hope it comes out in an oversized hardcover

Didn't you learn anything from Birdie? The content's the thing, bro. If it's worth it, it's worth it. Why deny them their creativity based on how it hits your eyes?
(Obviously I'm joshing you. It's A-OK if you only like physical stuff)
PDF and read in iBooks?

A couple of weeks ago (aka forever ago
). Welcome to the internet!He talked a little bit about it on Kevin Smith's Fatman on Batman podcast. There's a five minute chunk of him talking specifically about it on the first part of the recent Geoff Johns interview. Basically, he's sad but it's part of the story, and just wait to see how he wraps it up.

^Alan Moore's of course~ The current series is good as well I hear.
^_^; I thought everyone knew this by now, I didn't know til I read Inc. #8.
Just revive them Morrison, killing characters off like this fucking pointless and moot; STOP KILLING FUN CHARACTERS!

I have this major Superman story arc I've been thinking up and it now involves the big bad using a revived Damian in a plot have Batman kill Superman.
This is just the basic concept in paper, I'd need to enter the Morrison area of comic book writing in order to have it come out right.

I liked it a lot, looking forward to the next issue.
Last month.
Surprised you were able to avoid it, it was one of those bullshit things they spoil in the mainstream press a day early.

Chris Sims declares 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' tie-in comic an early frontrunner for worst comic of 2013 (Comics Alliance)
So... when ComicGAF gushed over this series, it was in a "so bad it's good" kind of way? Because that all sounds pretty damn awful.
Preacher is great but boo! Read Chew too!
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing is the one to read, btw.

Yup. For me at least. It was such a clusterfuck, but I got bored of it eventually.

I don't follow your logic - Damian, as a fictional character in Morrison's opus, was created entirely to die. That is the character's purpose in the story Morrison is telling. Wait till it's done to see if he makes it a worthwhile sacrifice, but I don't have any problem with characters being killed if it's in the service of the story - especially a story like this with a single author and a definite beginning, middle and end (even if DC's trade program makes it hard to figure out which bit goes where!)

Except that I see no reason for Damian to be killed off, and that he's an interesting character that has managed to get some good stories written featuring him.
...but I'll wait as you suggested, heck for all I know
Damian faked his death to trick his mother @_@

Anyone have any opinions on what is the best Bat books with Cassandra Cain? I need to read some stuff with her in it!

^Aside from her main series, she appeared in Outsiders which was written by Chuck Dixon, and I personally liked her characterization in it.
Grayson was training with Damian and used the follow words: "Sticky-outy bits", that should give you an idea on why it's considered so bad.

Will try the first issue of PrivateEye very sad its not in print.
The Afterword was hilarious:
" When I told Marcos I was thinking about a comic set in the futuristic U.S. that no longer used the internet, his first suggestion was that we should make the story exclusively available online.
This is what it's like collaborating with Marcos Martin."
I do wish it were in print too just for the message it sends being online. If BKV and Martin can't rake in the money through print with this, what does it say about print?

Saga is outselling a few Marvel/DC comics at the moment. I'm sure BKV and Martin could have done this through Image or whatever and still make money - this is an experiment.

This guy thinks Identity Crisis is the worst DC storyline ever? Really? His opinion officially invalidated. Oh, and here is a choice quote.
Uh. OK.
Also, he gets entire story beats wrong. Did this tool even read the series? Yeah, it's not the best ever, but for a video game tie in its surprisingly good.
He doesn't even make the connection that it's basically a retelling of the Justice Lords concept.
I wish I could take my click back.

I agree. It would certainly make it more attractive for double dipping.
It's the only DC comic I really enjoyed lately. Fun stuff, not exactly high-brow art.
Read ComicsAlliance more. He's one of the best comics writers around.

I don't know if it's the worst but it's really bad and it had a ton of attention at the time.
