Welcome, friend!
Line in the sand: Frank Quitely or Harley Quinn?
And I have no idea in regards to the Canada stuff. Sorry.
Damn, yeah, just had a look at all the volumes in the regular places. For once I managed to jump on before they became scarce.
A real shame that. Should be more readily available.
Hi! If you read this thread you should post! You know how weird we all are so you should join the club.
Gaslight Joker is voiced by Nolan North it would seem. Great choice. Regular joker is done by Richard Epcar who voiced him in Injustice. Tara strong pretty much always plays Harley now.

It was Arleen Sorkin voicing Harley in Asylum. It's a shame that she doesn't voice her anymore, I prefer her to Tara.
Welcome TalkingToast. Nice to have you here. I am Messi. I read comic books. I like Harley Quinn quite a bit and my favorite book is Sunstone. Other than that I like to read this new wave of teen centric cape books. Tell us a bit about your comic habits.
Now...
Line in the sand,
Freeza or Grandharrier?
Kipp or ViewtifulJC?
Me or Korupt?
Zombine or Cheska?
And who is your favorite hologram (Jem is muck)
I love them both and I know this is going to get me strung up but I prefer Tara Strong. That said Arleen was great in Asylum. But Tara does a great job in her own right.
Seems Arleen hadn't voiced Harley in 6 years between justice leagues cartoon 2003 and arkham 2009 and she voiced her in DC universe online after that in 2011. Nothing since.

Don't get me wrong, Tara does a reasonably good job. But to me, Arleen's Harley is Harley, while Tara's Harley is Tara. She sounds a little too much like other characters she's voiced to me, which is fair but distracting.
Yeah I can see that. It's kind of happening to me right now with Troy Baker and it had happened with Nolan North.

What a bunch of ass, this schedule.

I'm juggling Bloodborne, Life is Strange, Absolute Justice, TV Shows, and this week MLB The Show.
It's really good so far, Lemire is a Canadian Superstar too so we gotta support him.
I love that Clint and Kate are sticking together.
Been bouldering all night. Too much fun.

Drawing over reading comics today. Thankfully, its an easier page (benefits of writing your own comic is you can write your self occasionally easy pages) so Ill be able to draw and color it much quicker than my last page. Been a productive sunday
The whole "fuck it, there's two Hawkeyes" is great. Really sets it apart.
I liked Lemire's first issue. The stuff with Clint's childhood is really compelling.

TPS is a bit of a mess (XB1) but even if it was perfect I just can't tear myself away from TVHM in BL2 with my now lvl 43 Maya. Just brilliant. I'm going through the story again with her and I'll be honest, I'd stuck to Normal mode for too long. Totally OP and got bored. Now I actually have to think and plan and use the right elementals. The game is truly alive now. My only problem is I can't play all six classes simultaneously.
That's another problem with TPS. None of the classes seem as cool as BL2's gang. And the settings, at least up to me being level 9 Nisha, are so samey. Has anyone played it all the way through? Does it ever get to new places that aren't boring moon surfaces? Where's my acid junkyards? My tropical paradises? My desert wrestling arenas circled by final fight levels rendered in 3d? This shit is hell of boring!
But it's borderlands so I'll play it with every class eventually I'm sure.
Its been 7 years since the Omnibus released, am I right? And there are still plenty avaiable, am I right?
I think its dead, Jim.

I might grab it after I finish Bloodborne. But I need to play the second episode of Life is Strange, first.
Did you try Tales from the Borderlands? That's been great so far.

Yeah. Still in the first episode. Great so far.
Been busy with Bloodborne lately but I've been wanting to post this for a couple of days. Had a doctor's appointment (just routine) the other day, and during the hour and half (!) wait I made full use of the read offline thing on MU, where I had recent issues and not civil war stuff. So, super quick thoughts on them:
All New Ghost Rider #7 - I was about ready to say (again) "why am I reading this" but the second half of the book got better with the demon convincing robbie to do some nasty stuff for cash, and OG Ghost Rider showing up for the cliffhanger
Rocket Racoon #3 - Still great, still super fun, still has amazing art... still think the book won't work with Young's art. But for now I'm loving it and it seems we will get iur confrontation with fake rocket next issue.
Storm #2 - ok book with storm having a little night on the town and running into callisto. It's a fine book but completely uneventful and has nothing on somethjng like Magneto for example.
Amazing X-Men Annual #1 - shit story, not even Salvador Laroca's art could save the book... hell even the art was lazy. Just bad.
Amazing X-Men #11 - this is more like it, part 4 of the Wendigo outbreak story (still love the concept) with not much happening but having some cool moments with wolverdigo, and the avengers don't feel forced in the story. Aurora being a mega bitch was annoying tho.
Uncanny Avengers #24 - March to Axis continues with Havok, Rogue and Wanda being captured and meeting up with Mags (also captured in his own book), with some nasty interactions between Rogue and Xavier with no scalp lol. Fun, even if you guys say Axis was awful. And I still hate the name S-Men
Wolverine & the X-Men #9 - Wolverine crashes Quentin's birthday party because he's worried about him but Quentin is still emo from seeing what he becomes in the future and tells Logan to fuck off. Great art, and the story was fine but I hate what they have done with Quentin and overall the book still pales in comparison to volume 1. Such a shame.
Not too bad, far from my hay day but to be fair all my comic time has been for Civil war the past week (comic time being at work lol).

I'm reading uncanny avengers and I'm so confused. I thought Immortus WAS kang but now later in the run there making it sound like two different people at odds with each other?
Also anyone who says marvel doesn't need a reboot is nuts. This book completely spoils Uncanny X-force but in order to read Uncanny X-Force one needs to read New X-Men and Age of Appocalypse. Same problem I'm having with young avengers, wolverine and the X-men, and Avengers World. Everything is too dependent on events that happened in other books.

While I get what you're saying, none of that would change with a reboot. Just look at the ultimate universe. You'd have to reboot every 10 years. It's what happens when you have a shared universe where 50 titles are published in a month.
Also I really don't think you need to read age of apocalypse for uncanny x force. I never read age of apocalypse and loved uncanny x force just the same. All you need to get about apocalypse for that run is that he's a bad dude who did some shit to archangel. Some writers like to really build off continuity. Remender is like that. Contrast that with a Mark Waid book.
I think he meant because one of the arcs involves the AoA universe and characters

Well I'm in the middle of UA and this whole thing revolves around the Appocalypse twins which I guess are archangels kids and it picks up from UXF where I guess wolverine killed kid appocalypse and archangel but then this book also spoils that versions of them are still alive at the school. So not only am I confused but it also spoils the outcome of UXF which is a book I wanted to read. There should have been a warning at the beginning of the book to read UXF first or like a continuity timeline a the beginning like star wars novels used to have.
Its pretty common that Marvel Ongoings takes place in the same order they are published. It works like this like always. And yeah, have a lot of fun making a timeline of 60 years of monthly comics with a couple of hundreds of issues that interefere with the story.
You could have asked us and everyone here would have told you UA is literally a sequel to UXf. You're not wrong but you could have

Reading the marvel wiki entries on Immortus and Kang would clear the confusion right up.
Also "this xmen book requires a bit of prior knowledge! REBOOT THE WHOLE MARVEL UNIVERSE!"

Last Month was our Convergence as comics, video games, anime, figures, and real life topics all came together in a single thread. Now, in two days, time runs out for the March Comics OT. Nothing will ever be the same again.
In a world without figures, will Freeza find something new to fill the void?
The wedding bells ring as Messi travels to South Korean to tie the knot with his Adam Hughes Harley variant.
CheskaPS3 is found unworthy of the Sony branding and must forge a new destiny as an Xbot.
What will Rhaknar do when he's finished the entire Marvel back catalog?
Will Zombine quit Comics OT forever?
Will JC manage to stay unbanned for more than a week?
Will somebody respond to one of Korupts' posts?
Will Sillymonkey actually like something?
These are just a few of the exciting possibilities in the stories we have to tell in April Comics OT.

Gotta learn to go with the flow. Uncanny X-Force reads just fine standalone.
Absolutely. Just roll with it. You would drive yourself crazy with that stuff. Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become Rhaknar.
