Skip the spencer secret avengers. And I was annoyed they didn't include more of hawkeye in the sale.
no its the New Avengers
Hickman Avengers on the left with Original Avengers in the background
Hickman New Avengers on the right with original New Avengers in the background
well technically they are not called the new avengers, the book it >_>
But arent Hickmanns New Avengers the Illuminati?

Starman #24-#29: The issue with the Old Mist was pretty awesome. (
The Times Past issue with Mikaal was gorgeous.
Bobo Bennetti is awesome. Has he appeared in any other series?
Robinson seems to give so much background to every character, it constantly makes me question whether the character is a new one or whether he is referencing an older character/series. Not knowing a lot of DC history isn't helping me I guess.
And that letter from the New Mist!
The Times Past issue with Mikaal was gorgeous.
All the stuff that was referenced in that issue.. did it actually happen in some series?

I dont think they ever called themselves that, even if they serve the same purpose. its been a while since I read the first issues tho

Oh, absolutely. That is pretty bad title.

Bobbo was created in starman
I am not invested in TMNT, but even the part 4 flavor text only mentions "a character's ultimate sacrifice!" which could mean next to anything. I wish there was more accountability for threads like this, because they happen far too frequently and the people who make the thread titles the way they do know what they are doing, and they are trying to draw people into the thread to post.

I was going to mention that but decided not to in the hopes it'd fall off the main page and be ignored. Cmon people it's not that hard to create a decent thread title.
I think it warrants immediate Junioring moving forward. But I think that the only people who are still mods that are fans of the medium are Bish and besada.
Edit: And yeah, maybe a thread title like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #44 (SPOILERS)? It's not that hard to do.

I have TMNT on my backlog and even though I'm not getting to it soon I was annoyed seeing that title

Do we know if the Future's End one-shots are gonna be collected in their respective series' upcoming trades?
EDIT: Nevermind, the solicits for Red Lanterns and Supergirl's respective volumes 6 tell me yes.

I was going to ask about that. I love the current Secret Avengers run. MODOK is so fun and it makes me sad that it will be ending soon. I assume Spencer's run probably is probably completely different in tone? And based on your statement, not really that good either.

The first trade of Spencer's Marvel Now run was one of the first trades I picked up after getting into this hobby.
I thought it had an interesting premise, but I really didn't care anything else in the trade except for Taskmaster.
I wish people wouldn't create threads like the Batgirl thread.
Lol. But even so, while you know exactly what you were doing, it was the cover to a book. You didn't say something like "SOMEONE IN THE BATFAMILY JUST DIED IN THE COMIC"
It's so inconsiderate and childish.

It's different in tone. I was pointing out the one that gets the praise is Kots run. I haven't heard any buzz for Spencer's and haven't read it myself. But my guess from Spencer's usual avenger work it'll be average and disposable. Mileage may vary

pisses me off, I just started buying into that series a few months ago and I couldn't wait to catch up. who are those threads for?
I liked Spencer's run, but mostly because I liked the characters he used. I like SHIELD being dirty and I like Mockingbird and I like Graviton and Taskmaster and it tied into what Hickman was setting up with AIM. Had some interesting developments and plot twists but I would say it's pretty bland compared to the Kot book. Daisy Johnson and Maria Hill also look practically the same in the book and it confused the hell out of me for a while.
They are self-serving and just looking for hits. Imagine if someone tried that shit with The Game of Thrones premiere, or another show/movie/whatever?

Not comic book readers. It's for people that enjoy shitting on comics
Perks of only browsing Gaf via my subscriptions. Thanks for the warning though. TMNT is probably my most-anticipated series. Ever since the OHC was announced, I've been so much looking forward to reading it. I picked up the Micro Series TPB from the library since a bunch of people here were recommending it and I was blown away. It's too good.

This picture blows my mind. It's like 3 or 4 different crossovers in one.
I'll check it out, I've heard good things about it. Matt's past is really cool.

I am glad you missed it. Seems like a massive spoiler.

Can't wait to read this one.
Ellis, Shalvey and Bellaire are doing a talk and signing of injection and moon night in Dublin. I might go. I wonder if Ellis and Shalvey would sign a stack of a4 paper in place of moon night. Would love to meet Bellaire. She is fantastic.
