I am extremely depressed that Matt's run of Hawkeye is ending.

I really want to read some of his other work and i can't decide if i want to dive into Casanova, Sex Criminals or ODY-C. ODY-C is probably the least interesting series to me and i don't know what the fuck to make of Sex Criminals.

Check out Immortal Iron Fist if you haven't already. Him and Aja worked on that (well... Aja kind of worked on it and Brubaker was a co-writer) and it's pretty great.

Sex Criminals is a definite must read too. The dialogue and chemistry between the cast is amazing and like BuddyJoeHooker mentioned earlier, you can tell Fraction and Zdarsky have a ton of fun working on it. It manages to be funny and touching at points and it just feels very human. It does a great job at looking at things like mental illness in a very mature light. I'd say this is the perfect original title of his to read after Hawkeye.

Casanova is great too but it's not as easy to digest and enjoy as Hawkeye or Sex Crims. Still worth a look for sure if you liked any of his other work. As for his other ongoings, I haven't read Ody-C yet so I don't really know what to make of it (I do have the first issue somewhere...) and I can't get into Satellite Sam.

About to buy and read the first issue of Iron Fist and Sex Criminals. If i enjoy Sex Criminals i will def pick up that hardcover coming in april, cover is amazing. Also, while browsing Sex Criminals on Comixology i came across "Just the Tips" and i laughed out loud.

I recommend all three of those, as they're all incredibly good, and all very different. For Sex Criminals, though, it's easily the most sincere and solid book about relationships, centering around sex, that I've read. It's goofy, self-aware, sexy, genuine, and just overall, human. Also, it's about fucking and stopping time and fighting the sex police.

You should get just the tips.

Busiek and Perez had a good time doing the Avengers:

So good

I don't like it how trade paperbacks don't lay flat, it make me think my eyes are bent.

Have you read it before? If not, it's fantastic. I'm thinking of buying the physical copy so I can reread it again despite having a backlog.

Oh yeah, I've read and re-read DnA's Guardians run many times. I'm just excited to have it in my hands soon.

Peter David and Greg Land bring back the Maestro.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Nothing gets me excited like Greg Land

True, but Peter David writing this tie-in should.

 

[Busaiku]

Maestro's already back though.

"Greg Land"

Welp. We all knew Greg Land was gonna be involved.

 

[ReAxion]

I think that umm... comics... well, they're good.

 

[Busaiku]

I don't get why Spider-Woman 5 wasn't Spider-Woman 1, and Spider-Woman 1-4 wasn't Spider-Women, which could've focused more on Silk, Gwen, Mayday, etc, instead of repeating events that were actually going on in The Amazing Spider-Man. It kind of was, to an extent, but should've been expanded in that regard.

 

[PsychBat!]

Is it gonna be that time to post porn faces?

Better get it out of the way now.

How was Spider-Woman 5 anyways? Besides Birdie hype I don't think I saw any other posts about it and I was curious for the art but I wasn't sold since I knew Hopeless was still writing. Is it an improvement over the initial issues or is it still too early to really say?

It was fine, definitely an improvement over 1-4 because of the art.

Listen. We don't read comics here.

How am I supposed to listen to words on a screen? They don't make a sound.

The Order doesn't seem like much of anything, game or movie.

[ViewtifulJC]

The Order is one of the most perfectly mediocre 5/10 games I've played in a long time. Its like taking a guided tour through a video game.

It made for a pretty fun weekend. In that weekend, I played through it twice and got the Platinum trophy. XD

I will not be gaslighted by this.

guess they figured Peter David needs that Greg Land sales boost

 

[Tizoc]

What's Copra about? Someone sell me on it.

 

[PsychBat!]

double boom

 

[fauxtrot]

guess who just paid a visit to the cool comic store and joined your little club brehs

COPRA is awesome and you are now awesome by association.

 

[ThyMusicMan]

Scott Snyder is back at C2E2 this year...
Good and bad.
Good: He's awesome, love to get him to sign some books,,, very cool guy.
Bad: Fucking huge line that always gets capped off, screwed if you don't wait before way before he's even at the booth. And last year only 3 books per person.

It should of been a $20-30 PSN exclusive game free for PS+ subscribers.

I feel like it would of gotten much better reviews if they did that.

 

[fauxtrot]

COPRA is Michel Fiffe's homage to Ostrander's Suicide Squad (which ran from the late 80s to early 90s)... I could write out a huge JC-esque synopsis/analysis of its greatness, but instead I'll just leave you with Comics Alliance's glowing review. Still not convinced? Read the first issue here for free!

It's by far my favorite "true" indie comic (in that single isseus are only released by Fiffe on his etsy store and it's collected into trades by Bergen Street Press). Dude's art is very unique and matches the glorious weirdness found in his writing.

Should've youtubed skipping around while catching up on your mangas.

These feels, I am aware of them.

At least I found out I can get free movie tickets through the job. Meeting tomorrow about the internship, hoping for good news.

Still not entirely sold on Howard the Duck yet. I wish I was but I really need to read the first issue. I'm not expecting it to be any good, sadly.
