Yo Comic GAF! Who wants a digital copy of Cafe Racer, Sean Murphy's kickstarter book? It's rad and cool and stuff.

Goddamn at the transformers bundle. I've read most of MTMTE, but I think I'll get it anyways for the other series that I haven't really read.

I do!
It'll be a few weeks before Amazon in comic stores.
I am the second person to do.

I saw the Joker/Harley statue that came out today. It is a very nice piece but not $250 dollars nice.

I was actually looking at Cafe Racer earlier when I checked Comixology, anyone read it yet? If so, how is it?

It's a nice little short story drawn by multiple artist including Sean Murphy. The artist's were all apart of his apprentice program.

So Descender is a instant add to the pull list. I know it's a number 1 but I loved everything about it. It's not just a good comic book technically, but it's themes resonated with me.
Considering holding off on reading All-New Hawkeye until Fraction finally puts out his final issue.
Scott Snyder's Batman
Jeff Lemire's Green Arrow (Vol 4 and 5, with 6 coming out next month)
Geoff Johns' Aquaman
Also Injustice is awesome... despite its occasionally fucking terrible art.

I flipped through it in the shop. Art was gorgeous.

All New Hawkeye was pretty good. It's doing its own thing rather than trying to ape Fraction's run, which I think is the right choice. Not really crazy about the flashback stuff but it's still the first issue so I'll give it more time to flesh that out and see where it goes.
I think Lemire did a good job on the banter between Kate and Clint. Always love some fun dialogue.

My comics this week:
Spider-Woman #5: I'm definitely feeling the new street level aspect of Jessica's life. It feels right for a character that Marvel seems lost on; make her feel that lack of direction personally. The art is great, with the exception of some faces. Spider-Woman by way of Hawkguy. (Spidergal?)
Avengers #42: Our heroes are finally working together to find a way out of their problems. Aliens want them dead. And people give Cyclops his due. Feels like counting down more than anything else.
Grayson #8: His students have named his buttcheeks. Fair enough. Dick Grayson is still one of the motherfucking best and this is the end of his series' first story arc. I'm still onboard for whatever comes next.
Earth 2 #32: Power girl now wears the House of El's symbol. Kind of a meh issue. Earth 2 really needs better artists.

Wowsers. CBR put up an advance review of Jem #1.
4.5 out of 5!
All over that TF Humble Bundle.
Nameless #2 was solid. As I mentioned before, I'm not much for horror books so I'm glad that side of it feels more like it's an undercurrent of the book, rather than just straight horror. But it's definitely there. We'll see how it goes.
Descender #1 was interesting. I have to say that I'm not quite sure how I feel about Lemire. I've run hot and cold on various work he's done. But this was definitely on the enjoyable side for me and I'm looking forward to seeing where it's going.

I agree, I think there's better, more visually distinctive artists working on North American monthly comics now then there's ever been, with far superior printing, coloring, inking on average. And its not just indie titles like it was in the 80s with Zot, Flagg!, Nexus, Mr. X, Grendel, etc. You look at the line-up of artists during Marvel heyday int he 80s compared to now, you have a couple outliers like Sienkiwicz on New Mutants or Simonson on Thor, but most of them are in that Buscema/Romita model. Now you got Dauterman, Ribic, Immonen, Aja, Franchevella, Samnee, Martin, Rivera, Rodriguez, Del Mundo, Shanier, Bradshaw, Alphona, Pulido, Andrews, Allred, Shalvey, Bachalo, McNiven, Weaver, Davis, Stegman, Acuna, Ramon Perez, Noto, Henderson, Quinones, etc. Hardly any of these two could be confused for each other, and not only are they visually interesting, but unlike a lot of those proto-Image Comic dudes in the 90s, they're great sequential storytellers, too.
That's why I'm still a little peeved how we're still in that Cult of the Writer mindset. As in, they put "Bendis" big on the omnibus when Maleev drew the whole thing, or how niggas be sayin' "Ennis' Preacher" when "Ennis/Dillon" is the creative team for all 60 issues, or how writers get all kinds of interviews about where they got their ideas or what their favorite comic was as a kid or what food they ate on the way to the studio today while artists get nothing, or Jason Aaron goes off to million-selling comic superstardom after Scalped while RM Guera, the mothafucka who did all the visual storytelling in this visual storytelling medium, is on struggle Dark Horse genre comics
But that don't stop people from saying "Jason Aaron's Scalped" and bringing that prophecy to life.
Lotta great artists out there right now, try to appreciate them

Pulled into the driveway, realized I forgot comics, went to the store, they're out of Descender, the only book I was really looking forward to so I left with nothing today. Soooo fuck u comix forever!!!

That's okay. I'm also a fan of boobies and violence. Are these things present?
Which I feel is pretty weird. It's not DnA exactly but it's the closest I'm gonna get.
Peter was totally different from Bendis' and Humphries' cringe dialogue. It's closer to his more serious/sarcastic cow-boy Star-Lord I've read in DnA's Guardians.
Drax was movie Drax.
Gamora was movie/DnA Gamora.
RR... I couldn't tell. Maybe it's because he uses the word "freaking" instead of "flarking". Just a minor peeve on my end.
Groot was Groot.

Scalped is Aaron's best and most realized work, and it's really easy to see where Southern Bastards comes from if you've read Scalped. Also, yeah, R.M. really does great things with that book--there's this dirty fucking gritty look to the art that sets the tone of the Rez and the stories inside (and outside) of it pretty perfectly. Reading all of the smaller stories in between arcs, all I could think was "man, I can't wait for fuckin' R.M. to get back on art duties".
Also, yeah, I haven't seen R.M. since, man.

I fucking love today's artist, the only thing I appreciate more then a good artist is a consistent one who can keep a schedule. I still put a lot of loyalty in writers but I also respect writers who stay loyal to artists.
Creative teams that have a strong releationship are the best. Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky probably have the most fun together in the entire industry and put out a successful book. Chip's career suddenly jumping to writing multiple books isn't a coincidence.
Too bad, there are only a handful of such strong creative teams.
human boobies tho. not, like, tiger or anything. just fyi
