Would Super Tails lie to you?
It's bad that I can't tell whether this is fan fiction or from a comic book.

Loki: Asgard Ninja #1
Due to the ewing hype, might as well get this done. And it is lovely.
Mahvel should really establish a dictum where anyone trying to put the sentence "avengers don't kill" in a book gets instafired, tho.

Awesome to hear your impressions. Glad you enjoyed Superior Foes, it was my favorite Marvel book from last year and I rave about it a lot. I see you already tried Ant-Man so that's good.
If you're still interested in TMNT, you should definitely give the current series that IDW is publishing a shot. It's great stuff.

Yep, I actually read that not long after, based entirely due to Fraction's and Aja's involvement. I really enjoyed it, especially as I had pretty much zero knowledge of the character going into the series. I was always curious how much of the writing was Fraction (there were definite parts where you could tell) and how much was Brubaker, who I admit I also am a big fan of (along with Rucka) thanks to Gotham Central.
I have also picked up Sex Criminals, although it is still sitting in my backlog of stuff.
I should specify that I was reading the Archie TMNT comics. To be fair to myself, I was a kid and all I cared about was that they looked like the toys and cartoon, not necessarily the quality. I assume the IDW series is more closely related to their actual comic origins?

She Hulk #8, what an issue!

and I don't know why), She Hulk vs

I have no experience with any prior TMNT comics but I'm pretty sure it's a completely original and new origin and story. So it's easy to start without any previous experience or anything.
How many issues left for She-Hulk?
It's a question that people ask a lot and Brubaker has actually talked about this:
His answer is more in-depth but that gets what the division was (also his full answer has Gotham Central too). Basically, it's what you expect -- the most Brubaker-y was the first arc (which even if you hadn't read this interview you would know because it's the one with the pulp Iron Fist) and it got more Fraction-y as it went along.

Making my way through Morrison's Batman run and just finished The Return of Bruce Wayne and Batman and Robin Vol. 3. Batman and Robin is such a fun comic and volume three was easily my favorite. I really look forward to seeing where the story goes with Batman Inc.
On a side note, and I know this gets asked a lot, but what tablets do you guys use? I'm not necessarily looking for one that reads comics, I only have a handful of digital comics, but just something that is good for everyday use so I'm not using my laptop for everything. What tablets do you guys prefer?

That's really interesting. I've always wondered about that. Thanks for sharing that!
Batman & Robin is so good. Batman Inc is my favorite bit of the run though, partially due to the writing, but probably mostly due to Burnham's art. Glad you're enjoying it though!
And for my digital reading (which is pretty rare) I have a Nook HD+ that I got for $100 refurbished a year ago. It's not ideal, but it's pretty much the best possible value for a tablet. It's got a good enough size/resolution that you can easily read full pages without zooming. I think most people will recommend an iPad though. That's probably the ideal comics tablet. But you also have to pay quite a large sum of money for it.
I don't know, marvel Unlimited is like 6 months / issues behind
X-Men #19 - this book continues to be one of my favorites, I did not see this coming back with the first issues. The X ladies continue their space adventure, now involving the Shi'ar. X-Men in space is usually a recipe for a fun story and this is no exception. Special mention to the art which is fantastic.
WATXM #8 - I've been pretty harsh on this new volume but this issue was actually pretty good. Logan and Ororo go on a date inside The World an end up staying there for a year (well a year in The World time). I like wolverine and storm together, it makes sense with all their history. Good art too.
Ironically it took me going back to work to start reading a lot again (usually it's the other way around lol)
I read mostly digital now, and I use my iPad Air. Beautiful colors, nice fit for comics. My wife reads on a mini, but I just find that too small.
Wouldn't want them to miss Angar the Screamer

It's mostly someone asking who Quake was when shown a picture of the 616 version.
Confuse them further by explaining that she is currently in space with Winter Soldier.
On topic, I use an old Nook HD+ to read comics despite being Canadian. I'll probably replace it with an Google tablet one day, I'm not really an Apple guy.
Everyone should be forced to read Secret Warriors.

I bought all of the floppies and also the omnibus the second it came out. Love that series. And it holds up well.
Agreed.
I want to be an English teacher and I want to make my students read Hickman's SHIELD. It's so... calculating.

Is that ever coming back? Man, that was a good book. Not the easiest of reads, but it was great. It even had monster-lady sex.
Weaver finished drawing the last two issues late last year. No word when it's being published though. Come on Marvel, what are you waiting for!? I'll buy it!
And the first volume is $11 on IST. It's a steal.

Yeah, I bought the hardcover when it came out. That art alone makes it worth a purchase.
There's a hardcover? DAMN IT! How much was it?

It was from the dark age of the series
It's pretty good now though, if you want a reading order, I can post a quick one for you.

Like $25, I think. At least it was around the time I bought it. That was when Marvel was putting everything in Prem HC form first. SHIELD was one of the taller hardcovers, though.
Edit: Here -a few sellers on Amazon have it new for $12 with fulfillment by Amazon.

It's all done. 12 was the last one
It's funny you mention that, since I finally bought the omnibus after months of searching for a reasonably priced one.
Adam Kubert is so fucking good, might be my current favorite artist
Edit: good lord Ronan
(That's not Kubert btw)

I don't remember which comic it was exactly but I'm pretty sure it was a Top Cow? one from the mid 90s or so that had Magdalena?

My first comic was GI Joe: A Real American Hero #2 at a Toys R Us. The rest is history.

My first "event" as a child was the Phalanx shit. My best friend got like every issue and made me be super careful with those holographic covers when I read them.

Hickman is truth!
Finished Infinity, all of it including tie ins like I did with AvX. Great event, especially the main books of course. Tie ins are whatever, but it leads me to discover new books so I don't mind.
Hickman is truly a mad man, and Secret Wars might end up being a huge clusterfuck, but the thought that it's the culmination of years of Hickman's insanity makes me giddy.

Power Girl's got this.
The first comic I read was a Spider-Man from around 1973. It featured Doc Ock.
The first comic I bought myself was X-Men #99, where they go into space to fight Sentinels.(I had to look up the number, but I still remember the launch sequence where Storm is freaking out about her claustrophobia.)
The first comic I collected was Firestorm, starting with issue #1. I bought every one from that point until sometime after Jason Rusch appeared, as well as nearly every book he appeared in. Firestorm was my guy.

New 52 Static Shock was my first comic.
Sex Criminals #1 is good. The gags where the girl is drawing different poses had my dying.
Hawkeye #12/13 both brought the feels. Damn. :'(
Is this PG Vs. Darkseid? Looks sick!

Yes.
The
evacuation of Earth 2's survivors from the doomed Earth has begun and they are trying to buy time for them to get away. Alan Scott blew a hole through Apokolips for the ships to flee through and Val Zod, Kara and Red Tornado launched an attack on Darkseid himself.
Yeah, this sounds awesome.
I have a hard time pinpointing what my first comic was, but a book that stands out in my memory is this:
As a child, I was a huge collector of superhero action figures, and I always dreamed about them making figures of Frog-man and The White Rabbit. I can't remember the quality of interiors, but I used to read this over and over and over until the cover fell off.
