Following up on Avengers after this run must be intimidating as hell.

Yeah I have no clue how you could follow it up. I wonder who the writer is. They keep saying it s a big one and I cant think of a big name that hasnt already had a shot at Avengers. I'd love Morrison or Whedon. Maybe Ellis? Haha I don't know.

$280

That...is a LOT of money.

 

[Freezasaurus]

That...is a LOT of money.

I know. And I have issues with the base and that awful hair seam as well. Have to think about this.

$280 is the same price as Gwen, though. And look at the size difference....

My personal rule is, if it costs more than $200, and you have to think about it, then you already know the answer.

Hey messi have you played Life is Strange episode 2? DAT ENDING

My personal rule is: spend the money and regret it later.

 

[Rhaknar]

My favorite thing about reading full events is discovering new books in the tie ins

Unfortunately this Heroes For Hire #1 was pretty shit. It's basically a bunch of fanservice-y skintight costumed girls. And Humbug, who has both the worst and best power ever. Nice art tho, but that's a given what with the fanservice ;p

Pre-orders open tomorrow, so I'll sleep on it. But I may very well not buy it. This is the shock of disappointment.

This episode of Arrow has been aeful. I hate how they turned Ray Palmer into an Iron Man knock off.

It's really gone down hill this season. It why I have so much trepidation for their next spinoff. Which seems like a smorgasbord of characters.

you had the choice to save a certain character from suicide or not.

My wife received an email from Mr. Barack Obama!

I grew up loving comic books. Back in the day, I was pretty into Conan the Barbarian and Spiderman.

Anyone who reads comics can tell you, every main character has an origin story -- the fateful and usually unexpected sequence of events that made them who they are.

The same goes for grassroots organizers.

For me, it was a "help wanted" ad I saw in a newsletter at the New York Public Library. The job was organizing communities and churches on the South Side of Chicago. It paid $10,000 a year.

I packed up everything and drove across the country in a beat-up Honda to take the job. Those three years changed my life. It's where I found out how hard this work is -- and why it's worth doing.

Looking back, it was the best education I ever had.

OFA is collecting origin stories, and you should join in, .

lol

It's Ennis, brahs. Avengers MAX. #believe

What a great ending to Batman and Robin. I hope Gleason has some writing chops for the Robin solo book.

 

[Serpentine]

ah, it's not everyday you get to save the world AND $5 at the same time

anyone pick up PastAways or Hit 1957? I wasn't sure if i had to read the previous series of Hit to read this one (or if that one was any good to begin with) and PastAways i passed on because i didn't wanna buy a 4th book. It kinda looked like Scott Kolins leveled up though, just from flipping through it

This was the last issue?

Plz don't be another Tony Daniel/Cameron Stewart. Plz.

Dang, I thought there would be more people talking about Invincible in this thread given that it was practically free (and free on Comixology). It's such a great comic man. It ascended into greatness with the last 20 issues and just got even better with a new status quo. And Walking Dead was great too though both books felt a bit thin on content. Such is the plight of the monthly reader.

I'm catching up on Invincible on trades. I picked up the free issue but I'm still about 17 issues away from it.

Yeah, don't read it yet, then. It'll seem like a big jump.

Uncanny X-Men #32: Cyclops lays that hot truth. Everyone hates him, but he's absolutely right. All is good with the world. Havok is still very odd here because he's supposed to be evil or something.

New Avengers #32: Hickman has given birth another amazing bromance. The Multiversal Avengers take their shot. I do want to see if something comes of

Spoiler

converting a Beyonder into a garden

.

Invincible #118: Kirkman is tackling Mark's situation with Anissa quite well. I look forward to seeing how he continues handling it in the future. The rest of the comic is "married life if you were Superman".

Batman and Robin #40: A perfect end to Tomasi's run on this comic. I want more Robin/Shazam team-ups.

Earth 2 World's End #25: The Dynamic Duo is back again! Otherwise, business as usual.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Wow. Untaggable spoilers.

Freeza, you have been bested.

That New Avengers one? If I hadn't read the book I'd be maaaaaaaad.

I mean of course we all wish we could just post the two best panels in the past 20 years but, man, statute of limitations and all.

I'll remove it, but lacking the context of that issue, it means little.

I'm going to be controversial but looking at those statues you guys posted the last few days (shulkie, black cat, Gwen, etc) I have to say I miss the days where "sexy" (whatever your definition of that is) female costumes / drawings wasn't frowned upon or even vilified. I'm sorry but i do.

 

[my name is ed]

The more I read Bendis's X-Men titles the more I like them. I would say Uncanny hasnt been that good in.....a long ass time. Was Mike Carey's run on Uncanny? I cant remember

Who says the new type of costumes aren't sexy? Maybe they're just not you're type of sexy. If I saw a girl outfitted with one of the new costumes (Spider-Gwen/Batgirl) on Halloween, I'd find it sexier than that horrible old Spider-Woman outfit.

And really, those type of drawings/statues arent 'vilified.' Plenty of people like them. And thats fine. The problem was that some creators were adamant in defining what 'feminine' or 'sexy' means.

I've been liking UXM more than ANXM because the pacing in ANXM is so damn slow.

Though ANXM might as well be going at light speed in comparison to GotG.

thing is, we know from Hickman's Avengers that the mutants go full-on isolationist nation-state, which totally kinda sorta works as Inverted Havok's vision

 

[crimsonspider89]

 

[PsychBat!]

So he goes back to his red and gold armor. Guess Sandfox and I were both kinda wrong. Me more than him.

OH SHIT!!

WAID!!!!

 

[crimsonspider89]

Yeah my question is why Tony? He isn't all new all different.

 

[my name is ed]

Oh Shit Mark Waid huh?!?


Hmm Ill take it!

 

[Coriolanus]

Yerp. Havok's inversion didn't make him flat-out evil. It only made him (marginally) less stupid.

 

[PsychBat!]

Oh Shit Mark Waid huh?!?


Hmm Ill take it!

Yeah, Waid on this sold me.

I knew Miles was gonna be in this, and only Kid Nova fazed me.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

well guys, I am SHOCKED to see Miles on that cover

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Yay Waid!

 

[crimsonspider89]

Kid Nova will be the deal that prevents this book from selling. Wish it was SW black female Bova instead.

 

[MHWilliams]

Waid and Mahmud Asrar? That's some fucking heat.

What's Starlin doing these days?

Waid writing Miles? I'll take it. Great team
