I recently ordered the second HC and already had the digital version. Those are issues #6-11 plus #8.AU
Interested? (In the code?)
Sure, what do you want for it?

Any opinions on "Five Fists of Science"? I like some of Fraction's other work.
Bundle? I don't see a bundle. Region exclusive?

Did you check the website? Bundles aren't available via tablet and phone apps.
Thanks for the heads up.
Let me guess- Wolverine dies, for x amount of time, and is resurrected when his healing factor is restored because being 'dead' cures him of the alien virus he got and blah blah blah.
And shouldn't they be calling the new comic "Superior Wolverine" since
he got his armored suit from Spider-Man

It would certainly be the SUPERIOR title change.

There is good evidence on Twitter that a Secret Six project is in the works. Rag Doll is in Batgirl. They are releasing previous TPB of Secret Six and Gail Simone is even playing into the hype on Twitter. Of course, she trolls a lot so who knows.

Poking one more time for this. I'm starting to get tempted, now, just need a push. Is Uncanny X-force good, and does it complement Wolverine and the Xmen or detract from it? Or just kind of exist alongside it?

I am so goddamn interested in this
more like it exists before it, then alongside it, then WATXM continues. It's definitely a compliment, but Uncanny X-Force is better....i'd get both. Uncanny X-Force will go down as one of the best books marvel has put out in recent years.
UXF launched out of Second Coming, so it's before Wolverine and the X-Men and had like 18 issues before Schism. It's pretty different from WatXM tonally (Wolverine's Murder Squad is obviously gonna be different than Wolverine's Wacky School). Aaron was clearly into UXF though, Evan and the mindwiped Angel are both from that book so that's there if you want it.
It's a good series, real Consequences of Violence shit, and even if you think the schoolmaster Wolverine is irreconcilable with X-Force leader Wolverine, that tension is raised in the comic and it does get sorted out by the end.
Dang. I'll make sure my finances check out and then I guess I'll go forward with it. Didn't know it was so highly regarded.
Also, while I'm thinking of things to ask about: how did Fear Itself
eadpool and Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe (though that one's not collected just yet) turn out? I like Dr. McNinja pretty well and I thought it was pretty cool that a webcomic guy was getting a shot at the real deal, so I've been kind of curious how his work was.My favorite Marvel comic going right now... I cannot wait to see where this all leads to.

I love it when Remender does these big epic arcs so glad Uncanny Avengers is living up to it potential.

Took a break from One Million (which is pretty righteous) to read through The Thanos Quest. I'm really digging it.
Also, while I'm thinking of things to ask about: how did Fear Itself
Still kind of curious about this, if only to see if it's worth tagging on that Deadpool. But yeah, since people have been hyping them up, highly considering grabbing both Uncanny X-Force and DC One Million omnibuses off of instocktrades.
do you read digital comics at all? Marvel Unlimited? If you subscribe today, it's a sxsw special for 99 cents for a month. You could read all of Uncanny X-Force, the deadpool stuff, most of WATXM, lots of stuff. marvel code is sxsw99. The ios app is great, android not so much but allegedly an update is coming to make it less suck. Can't help on fear itself deadpool or longshot.

I enjoyed Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe. It wasn't amazing or anything, but I laughed a few times. It was worth supporting because I'd like more Marvel minis that aren't Cullen Bunn's weird Deadpool tales.
My big delivery of TPBs came today, I've read the first volumes of Revival and Lazarus. Lazarus was pretty good, basically Elysium with less Halo and more character development. I liked it enough that I'll probably get the second trade.
I freakin' love Revival. This is what I want from a zombie book, although I suppose calling it a zombie book is a disservice. The small town setting is really well done IMO. I can't wait to tear into the next two volumes over the long weeked.

My wife still can't post yet. She has read all of Rachel Rising and loves it. She went to the LCS and got all the back issues and is all caught up.
Now she wants to know if Moores other work, Strangers and Paradise is any good.

An absolute of Batman Inc. would be nice.

Shit, I was just holding out for a Deluxe edition of Batman Inc vol.2 cuz I already got the deluxe for Vol.1, but I'll double dip for the Absolute.
This is also a good time for me to mention I'm madly in love with Enigma, and I genuinely believe it to be one of the finest comic books I've ever read.

Mind giving a quick synopsis of Enigma?
Oh man, Absolute Batman Inc, JSA omni vol 2, Geoff Johns GL omni vol 1, and the highlight for me, a deluxe HC of Punk Rock Jesus with 100 additional pages. Hell yes.
are we still getting a deluxe.....???
I will probably get that Absolute though. Harley Quinn vol 1 in NOVEMBER, gonna be a long year of me getting tired of waiting and then not caring when it comes out.
Johns Green Lantern Omnibus vol 1, how did that not get listed, it's newwws.
It's.... so many things, man. It's "about" a guy's favourite superhero as a kid coming into existence, right? So on one hand it's Milligan's big superhero opus, what Watchmen is to Moore or Flex Mentallo is to Morrison, but it's also way more than that. It's a story about love and self-discovery and queerness and identity and trying to desperately communicate something that isn't so easily gotten across. It's the monotony of everyday life when you aren't being true to yourself, and the clarity of realization when you are, which sounds cheesy and it is but it's also so so perfect.

The basic gist is a fictional superhero called the Enigma and some of his various villains come to life in the real world, and this guy who used to read his books, Michael Smith, finds himself drawn into this big mystery of how this came to be. It becomes a LOT more than that, but I don't want to spoil the discovery.
Its hard for me to talk about Enigma without going over all its little details or its wonderfully complex-yet-organic narrative structure that handles themes of identity and sexuality in an intelligent and thought-provoking way, or how perfectly Fegredo's art subtly shifts and changes from issue to issue to match Milligan's prose and ideas, or how even the smallest pieces of media we consume can have huge, profound effects on our lives in ways you hadn't figured, or its perfect twisty ending where all the themes crystallize. And besides all that shit, its just a very engaging read with great characters, a highly compelling plot, fantastic artwork that captures all the tiny mannerisms and body language, and Milligan's sly dark humor that means it never veers into cold navel-gazing( “It was an ordinary farm in Arizona. The kind of place where you’d have sexual relations with your parents and end up shooting someone.”
If you ever listened to any of my blind recommendations, this would be the one, I'd hope. It's REALLY fuckin' good.
why would i want to read a book based on Last Action Hero? I'll just watch the movie again.
get:
Absolute Batman Inc unless a deluxe version is in the cards....
Enigma if i'm feeling adventurous
The Wake
if i like the first trades, more of Lemire Green Arrow, Red Lanterns, and that stuff.
Batman Eternal vol 1 that collects 1-20 if it's any good
Harley Quinn vol 1...
I have the regular Green Lantern trades through Brightest day, and Sinestro/Blackest Night/Rebirth Absolutes so probably skipping the Omnibus
I like knowing a heads up on these things, especially OHC and Absolutes, but it's comic soul crushing that so many of these things are december 2014 through march 2015. That's a yearrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm happy to see that DC are reprinting Gail Simone's Secret Six, I've been curious about that series for a while but it's typically either unavailable or prohibitively expensive. The Wake HC shall definitely be mine, that'll make a nice Christmas gift. I've been intentionally avoiding the first trade because I was hoping Vertigo would put out a nice hardcover collecting all 10 issues. I'd never heard of Enigma before but frye and ViewtifulJC have definitely piqued my interest. Overall there's some good stuff here. Well done, DC.

I like the book a lot. I thought it actually started to come into its own at issue #3. Initially I was worried it would be a major out-of-continuity side-story fest like the Batman/Superman runs, but it definitely deals with in-continuity stuff well and is a good companion to Action and Superman.
Good to see that Tradd Moore doesn't hold back with the violence.
Well at least not much, in Luther strode there'd probably be a tad more dismemberment.

Ghost Rider may not come out next week... right now they're the only ones reporting it, but Bleeding Cool says that Marvel has asked retailers to hold their shipped copies because of "a printing/distribution error."
So, maybe no Ghost Rider until the 26th.

Yeah that Red Skull thing was a mess, but I loved the Apocalypse twins stuff. I'll probably get the rest of the back issues this weekend and get caught up and put this back on my pull list.
