Spike you had one job, one freaking job.
Incidentally, Marvel will be getting a Shamrock solo film to screen before DC/ Warners gets Wonder Woman there.
All other comic IPs will have been rebooted twice before Warners gets Wonder Woman on screen.

Honestly, I don't really care that much. I'll give it a shot for an issue or two, but I don't expect it to be very good.

I'm sure it will be a pretty decent comic but it didn't make the cut for my pull list.
Okay, but it should still be included as a notable release considering.

Why? It's just a reboot. It's not like she hasn't had her own series in a while. Black Widow, Elektra, Silver Surfer, and She-Hulk are notable releases.

Spike has the difficult task of picking and choosing the notable releases for each month, Wolverine and the X-Men, Iron Patriot, Magneto and a couple of other .NOW issues didn't make the cut either.
What you could do is give it your own anticipated release post
Because the new series is part of the Marvel NOW rebrand and is being treated with the same weight that was offered to those other series?
It's a new #1, new artist and new arc that all serves to let people jump on board fresh. It's entirely notable.
ETA: but if it comes down to having to choose specific titles out of a ton nevermind then. I had forgotten that it wasn't a general outline.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I really liked DeConnick's writing on Avengers Assemble before that book got Event'd and I really didn't go back. It was pretty much the only Avengers book actually ABOUT Avengers at the time.
This round of Marvel Now just hasn't enthused me at all. Too many of my favourite books died in the 2013-2014 period and my comic loving spirit just hasn't recuperated.

I read the first 2 issues of Kelly Sue's CM and I can honestly say she's one of the worst/most boring writers in recent history

He posted about it on twitter. He also showed a panel with mystique .
Man, I hope they writing is of quality as he jumps between the two series.
That said, I'll give SS a go.

Great writers can handle multiple series.
Agreed, very pleased with Lopez coming on and staying. One of the more vocal complaints against the series was the rotating artists and their individually unique and clashing styles so this should sort that out nicely.

I read some of the previous run, it was only alright. This has David Lopez though, i like him. the art was one of the failings of the last run imo
lol 2 issues

Great writers can be a manager at Walmart and break into the comics industry.
How DOES one break into the industry? I'm assumin you got to know peeps.

The first arc was alright. I thought the consensus on DeConnick's CM was "first few issues are fine, everything else blows"?

At this point, from what I understand, it's fucking rough. Gotta come to the big two with already published books under your belt or you have to be in one of Scott Snyder's classes and be happy writing pointless backups for his books for a year.
You need to get a pitch together and hit one of the big cons, brah. Then ComicsGAF can live vicariously through our own comics superstar.
Jeez, fuck that. Crushed that backup dream. The film industry sounds easier to get into.

Due to Fraction Hawkguy is one of my new favorite characters. Are there any other trades or stories involving him worth picking up or is Fraction's take the cream of the crop?

Maybe just Twitter bomb Geoff Johns or someone to read my pitch.
It's disappointing, occasionally there will be a good value for a deluxe edition, but now it's rare. They raised the price for the daredevil waid ohc too between volumes, 34.99 for the first and then 39.99 for the second.
Refused to pay 60 euro here for battle of atom. So I've stopped reading all new X-Men. I won't be gouged by Marvel or stores here.

Do what that brah Kindt does. Pretend it's your style.
Doesn't the Infinity hardcover include 24-25 issues? Doesn't seem like that bad of a deal given the price of other books.

Are the OHC prices really that bad?
I plan on getting the Fatale DLX HC and it's the same price of 39.99.
