I didn't know they were collecting the 90s Azrael series. Is it any good?
I think that funkos, while much more affordable as a fun purchase, lack enough detail for me to really want one with expectations of it being more than a novelty item i'd tire of. I've debated a Rey one, and now black panther and supergirl when it comes out, but i don't know if i'll get any of them. I'm quite impressed with the amiibo twilight princess figure thing that came with my game bundle, as small figure things go.
I don't mind Pops but I could do without the massive pile of Reaction figures.
That being said, this Ruby Rhod Reaction figure i have is pretty good but just makes me wish NECA would make a good one.

9 times out of 10 when I'm thinking of getting one, I change my mind before I even get to the register. I have some, don't get me wrong (the Sharknado one is AMAZING), but for the most part, these things probably cost $1 to manufacture, and it shows.

And I thought I was the person to resurrect old COMICS threads.
I thought so. The comics you unlock in the Ultimate Edition were pretty forgettable. I wonder if DC still has the rights to make them.

Trying to complete my Ultimate Joe Madureira collection (hopefully before SDCC this july so i can finish getting them signed as well (just this list here is 98% signed)...I Have most of them marked off a few different checklists, and im pretty close to completing it.
Heres my up to date collection:
Im pretty sure i have the rarest books out of the way (GotG #2 variant, Xin Artist Proof [only 25 produced] every Battle Chasers book/variant/trade and 2nd printing, Manga Spider-Man 28[27 was the easy issue to find, took me 16 years to find 28 lol])
This is one of the Checklists im using and if Anyone know any other books not on this list that ive missed lemme know!
Any help tracking down any Joe Madureira book would be appreciated!

I want to say no. Mostly because bringing Frank in and then going full blown mysticism would be a little much, I think.
I have a bunch. They pulled me in with the BtVS ones, so I collected all of those. Now I just buy ones I think are really cool. They're cheap, comparatively, and don't take up much space.

You might be missing some variants he did for the Street Fighter comics.
5 of them i believe, #0 has 2 variants and #1 has 2 variants... and number 13..

Are you also going after all his PSM magazine covers too? Loved that magazine back in the day. They had a long stretch where they used comic book artists for all their covers. Made them standout from the pack.

All the funkos I own came in the Marvel Collector Corps boxes. I wanted a normal Captain Phasma one but whenever I went to grab one in a shop I'd notice problems with the paint job so never bothered to get it. Like the look of that new Black panther one tho.
Do you like Joe Mad?
Bag Man is my favorite. Fuck I love that costume.

Elektra Omnibus
Uncanny X-Men Volume 3
Superior Foes
Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding Album
Page is on its way from Felix too
Also Cliff Chiang/Felix Comic Art is apparently giving away a signed Arrow/Canary statue to someone who buys one of his pages during the sale.

What do you guys think of the Batman Neal Adams omnibus? Is it just a collection of his work on Batman, or an actual story arc?

I'm reading avenger undercover right now, how old is deathlocket supposed to be? In Arena she was drawn like she's 6-10 but she's like 17 in this. She's definitely not a preteen anymore

How was Black Widow #1 ?
I have it coming in DCBS just wondering about ordering next few issues... idk how committed I am. I liked Samnee and Waid on Daredevil, so it has my attention.
Also,, Scooby Doo Apocalypse,,I gotta at least check out #1

It's all of his Batman work.
Mockingbird #1 > Black Widow #1
And like, Black Widow was a super dope action scene, don't get me wrong, Samnee drew the fuck out of it and Waid wrote exactly as little dialogue as was required (though that line about ballet was one of those "hawk-eye" style groaners imo), but, at the end of the day, it's got that same late-Daredevil-run problem of not really having something to say. It's craft for craft's sake, not trying to make a point or to be anything other than kicks and explosions.
Mockingbird on the other hand? It's a weird book that claims to be an action book, but could very well be a conspiracy thriller, a story about living with mental illness, a horror book or, even stranger, all three at the same time. And it pulls it off.

Allow me to translate from Messi-speak:
"It was pretty good."
It was the best Black Widow book I've read this year.
posted? Black Panther #1 preview
it's great how apparently one of the last things Namor did before being decapitated by the Squadron Supreme was to just dunk on that idiot nerd Black Panther

Mockingbird #1 is good. Not as formally impressive as Black Widow #1, but its like the book Spider-Woman thinks it is, with its mix of sarcasm and sincerity, its personable voice guiding us through the otherworldly and extraordinary.

Guys, how is Vision this good?
We're actually tripping balls collectively. It's awful and we don't even know it.

On the Red Hood/Arsenal Lobdell may or may not be doing an interesting character salvage with Joker's Daughter. I thought there was some interesting progress being made, and then the last couple of pages happened and I dunno anymore. If it's a fakeout, it's a lame one, and if it's not, it's not what I want, so idk.
This was funny though.
Its not from Valiant, thats why

Do we know if it's the shitty recolored version of his Batman work or the original version?

He actually recoloured more material that he had missed out on recolouring for the last release.

Sounds like me idea of hell
That I don't know, I haven't seen anything saying one way or the other, but I also haven't looked. My guess is its the original colors though.
Anyone expecting Coates to have a long run was kidding themselves. As a life long Marvel fan, Im sure it's a nice vanity project for him, but dude was never gonna give up his regular gig (which earned him a MacArthur Fellowship) to slum it as a comics writer.

gross.
Last time he actually went as far as to redraw certain panels instead of just recolor them.
