Guys I think I might have to go all digital or wait for TPB. My LCS is just flakey when it comes to my holds and they are always selling out. its kind of a nightmare.

That's honestly one of the reasons why I went digital. I was tired of going in to my LCS every week to find that the books were supposed to be held for me had been sold and I was expected to wait until more copies were ordered. It doesn't inspire much confidence. I only have the last issue of Forever Evil to collect and then I'll be done with floppies.

Go all digital and then get trades for things you find worth in paper from in stock trades. Speaking of that site THEY got me again 
Went for fear agent vol 2 and left with two other omnibuses and a couple more trades.
My order
DEATHBLOW DELUXE EDITION HC - remember loving the art and style back in the day. Well see how it holds up
FEAR AGENT LIBRARY ED vol 2
CATWOMAN TP VOL 03 UNDER PRESSURE - finish up the great brubaker's run in trade
SPIDER-MAN BY ROGER STERN OMNIBUS HC - haven't read much 80s spidey. Heard good things
Uncanny X-Force By Rick Remender Omnibus HC - great run

Ok, got them.
I already read Captain Marvel digital but I figure I let my wife try it and she if she wants to read it.

Wow, is this really that common? I might be moving in the coming months but my LCS has been awesome with holds and helping me get stuff. I hope if I switch shops that this doesn't happen. That's really shitty that people have these problems at their LCS.

what about DCBS? Marvel titles for $2.39 with digital codes is too enticing right now. I use the best pages as my hires ipad wallpaper XP

I see Daredevil, Captain Marvel and Secret Avengers there. All good picks (I haven't read X-Force despite getting #1).

It's the Catwoman of Marvel comics.
I loved both volumes, but crazy Genis-Vell takes the cake for me. He was an expert troll, such a shame he's stuck in limbo ;_;
Thanks guys for the feedback on Ghost Rider.
I'm not a fan of the series (i don't read Marvel/DC/Superheroes comics in general), but the art is damn fascinating from what i've seen.
I'll probably give it a look and download the first one from Comixology after reading your impressions.

Im avoiding the Marvel Cinematic Universe OT thread for fear of Captain America spoilers, so going to post this here:
I hope Thanos brings the Black Order with him to conquer Earth. They don't need to follow the Infinity comic, but I'd love to see Black Dwarf, Corvus Glaive, Ebony Maw, Supergiant, and Proxima Midnight do a lot of the legwork for Thanos before Thanos takes on all of the Avengers. If they had to cut a few of the Black Order out due to screentime, I'd want Ebony Maw, Corvus, and Proxima to be the main three that accompany Thanos on his conquest.

I still have no idea what they were thinking when they did Morbius. There's an entire section of the Marvel Universe that sits around almost completely unused, the supernatural and magic side, and they have a book starring a vampire who just wants to be normal again. It's a goddamn no brainer, how they didn't put the two together I will never know.

Dark Cybertorn started a bit slow but the last two issues were top notch Transformers fun. The new status quo is going to be really interesting for both books.
Have you read the preview of the next MTME? I need this yesterday.
So it's incredibly consistent and written by one of the best minds in the industry?

No that was catwomans previous run. Speaking of which, now that will pfeifer is back to DC I'd like him return to the book. He wasn't as good as brubaker but his run was surprisingly good
I have now. Can't wait.

sonofabitch those were good comics

illegal immigrants are stealing our air
yeah I agree I think they wasted his character making him go mad and adding him to the thunderbolts. I actually think he would be a good addition to the bendis GoG because his celestial awareness would give them the ability to run "crisis of the week" storylines and Bendis could then just focus on his dialogue.
Yeah they had been building up to that for a few years now.
Even the character building they did to Megatron made his decision in the end make some sense. I just don't want it to go to smoothly

If he did that or Merged Hulk, I would probably start squeeing like a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert and thus ruin my macho image for the rest of my life.
Spider-Island was like, 4 bucks on Comixology, and I picked up the whole backlog of Batman Beyond that I had yet to read (nearly a year's worth!) for like, 17 more.
So I got some reading to do now, I suppose.
On the one hand, I feel bad about spending so much on the right to look at pictures online, but on the other hand, I don't really have any means of storing the comics, either.

Would I need comprehensive knowledge of the marvel universe to read something like Original Sin? There are a lot of characters in the teasers that I know nothing about, since I just got into comics and am only pulling six series right now. I like the Marvel Now solo series because I can just read them without needing background, but the premise of Original Sin really interests me.

If you can't read a #1 without prior knowledge, it has failed as a #1. Especially events like this that are trying to appeal to lots of people. I imagine having a history might help, but I'm sure it'll be fine(until proven otherwise)
Ive always assumed a lot of #1's in the marvel universe required some knowledge of past events to understand what was going on. X-force vol.3 #1 although really good, was also hella confusing due to so many things having gone on beforehand that they just sorta assume the reader knows. Same goes with #1 of Astonishing xmen(although a whole lot less so)

marvel has a recap page that has genral information.
for Orignal sin all you need to know is the wacher is dead, and his killer has taken all the info he has gathered

I have a friend who refuses to read any comic that is more than a few issues deep. He seems to buy the most random stuff with #1 on the cover. So he wont read Batman or anything like it. He has no concept of storylines and being able to jump in easily at certain points. Its kind of infuriating.
I tell him to read Zero Year and he is like "Thats like 20 issues in and id have no idea whats going on or who everyone is"......I mean how can I explain this. All you need to know is that he is Batman lol.

Will he not pick up the trades either? He could just buy the first four trades of Batman and then jump on. Then he'll be reading it and he'll know exactly what's happened. And he'll have presumably read some great comics.

Ultimate Spiderman 200 next week. i have no idea what to expect
Yeah he could but it's like this for every series I recommend. Saga, Batman, American Vampire, Batgirl, Thor God of Thunder, Catwoman, Batman and Robin (I understand this, it's better if he starts at the beginning).
He also refuses to read Hawkeye as the art 'sucks'. I might need to blacklist him.
Spider-Men most likely. I am very excited.

Not me. Do it! I want to live vicariously through you.
Yeeeaah, you should probably just give up on recommending comics to him.
Just read through the Batman Beyond 2.0 Rewired storyline. Pretty awesome, although this 1 year time skip has me somewhat confused. I don't recall Terry
So I assume that means that something happened in the interim. Course,
is about as common a thing in Batman Beyond as it gets.
being at odds with Dana or Bruce at the end of that arc.

I've been a huge fan of the Batman Beyond / Justice League Beyond stuff for the past couple of years. It's just great. Are you reading Justice League Beyond or just Batman Beyond? This last arc, the Brainiac Invasion has introduced and reintroduced so many great characters to the DCAU.
After watching Winter Soldier, I really want to read more Brubaker based Captain America. I wanted to buy the Captain America by Ed Brubaker Tradepaperbacks, but I am not sure, whether they include Winter Soldier, what would be essential for me. Does anybody know, if they are included? Or do I really have to buy the Winter Soldier Complete Collection Books?

I liked Ghost Rider #1.
Transformers: Dark Cybertron's final chapter was good too, interested in seeing where they go with this now.
Hopefully the series will last longer and focus on the characters with it being its own thing.
EDIT:
I've read the following Webcomics so far, some I've caught up on (thanks to GAFfers' recommendations):
Nimona
Gunnerkrigg Court
Cucumber Quest
Unsounded
Ava's Demon
Charles Christopher
I can't access Spinnerette at work and want something that's either character/pathos focused, sci-fi or Fantasy
EDI2: Yo Gronk is adorable
