Yet you still read comics?
Yuuuuuup, you know what will surely save Cyborg...doubling shipping that shit. Then you can have two issues a month that people aren't buying instead of one.

2016 is crazy. I'm actually reading comics. More than just the weekly books, too.
The master plan is that this will allow DC to cancel it twice as fast.

That Cyborg hate is savage. I gave his run a try and man was it mediocre and the dialogue iffy, but I'll still give his next one a few issues. If he's going to be part of the DC movies I feel I should at least get to the point where I don't despise him. He at least has a nice costume now.
There are only two books I'm getting from them tomorrow. Everything else is sleep inducing to me.

Every time.
i find it endearing.
I didn't even do a list this week. Must have pushed books due to Easter. I am only getting like 10 books this week.

I know that people have an attachment to him based on Teen Titans stuff, but is there any indication that his promotion to importance was anything more than a diversity play? Had he been doing anything interesting or successful before n52 started?

Does he even serve a purpose? I mean, besides whenever the Justice League needs a vacuum-cleaner or something?

I have the 128gb. Even with not a ton downloaded I still have 18gbs of CMX comics on the device. And I like not worrying about space. I have 50gb still free.
With my current ipad I just keep what is unread downloaded and 1-4 of Sunstone (you never know when you might want to read it). But that is more due to space than want.

Last time I was at White Castle I ate about 20.
Comic related question, if I wanted to read Legion, what's a good starting point ya'll?
I wonder what a successful Cyborg book would even look like. From everything I've seen Cyborg in he doesn't have much of a personality and that makes it a bit tough to figure out how to do a good book. He has somewhat interesting powers, but again it's hard to fashion a book based on those. Maybe a tech nerd writer that can write about the internet, technology, etc... without sounding like a fraud might work, but that's a fairly niche appeal.

I used to have much more downloaded before the app improved with the cloud library browser. Otherwise I'd forget what series I had as it was tough to browse, that forced like 50gb downloaded. Now I don't have that so its not as critical. But 32gb is way to small. I don't see the point of the smaller sized pro. Go big or go home!

I'm contemplating it.
If I can get $1300 for my Macbook, I'll probably pick up an iPad Pro as a replacement.
Deviantart level art right here.

Yeah the Air 2 is working great for me. With 128gb of memory it will be a couple of years at least before I run out of space. That is if I don't break the screen first.

Oh it's a crazy purchase but now I couldn't go to anything else. It's also my laptop replacement for everything around the house. When I need to do serious keyboard work I go to my desktop PC
One of the best parts is it instantly upgraded my whole CMX library to OHC/Library edition sized comics. No need to ever double dip. I have a ton to read and just wait for the killer sales

Doing that just seems so great. Right now my laptop is my work computer, the machine I use Skype on to talk to my girlfriend and something to use for Netflix while in bed.
I'm moving in 2 weeks, so I really won't need it. If I need to do some actual sit down PC work, it'll be on my desktop that I built 3 1/2 years ago.
I currently have 1 full longbox of DC comics and another half full, which is mainly Marvel. Part of me still wants to collect the physical copies, because I really love stopping by the local comic shop to pick up new releases and the bag/boarding process.
Yet it would be such a better way to organize everything, since it takes up zero space.
Definitely something I'll be thinking about over the next month or so.

Yea the other nice thing is the pro has a big enough view space that the multi app function is worth it. So I can browse and have the message panel on the side and see both easily. Or throw netflix onto my tv via chrome cast and do a couple other things on the device. Cool stuff. Just takes a day or two to get used to the size. But now I pick up my old (broken) air 2 and think "it's so tiny!"
Alright I'll stop now

Oh yea I got my ps4 VR pre ordered today. Looks fun

Hulu in picture in picture while browsing gaf/twitter/feedly is my current biggest use after comics.

Well until then, I am going to pick up a couple comics tomorrow on my way to class.
Even though I haven't read Batman since #11 or so, I really want to pick up #50. So hopefully my local shop has that and a few issues of the new Old Man Logan.

I'd get so much use out of that feature...
Pixel-C matter race (in all seriousness, just seeing one up now, seems pretty nice if you use the developer discount code as a comic reader).

Looks like Vader for me tomorrow and not a lot else. Though I do have Batman Vol 8 coming too.
Disgraceful fucking post.
He has cool tech, and an interesting relationship with his father and is a bit detached from humanity.
Plus I identify with him being a 23 year old Black man from Detroit.

It looks like us 23 year olds have assumed direct control of ComicGAF.
