I liked Mockingbird #1 a whole lot, eager to see how it unfolds.

See I think that looks greatIs there a name for that? Those lines Kirby would draw to represent a sort of sheen?
I know about Kirby dots but what about kirby squiggles?
ANyone who doesn't is a godless fucking heathen.
X-Men: Age of X. It's a nice standalone alternate reality story that has a very interesting take on everything X-Men.
Old Man Rogers and Deadpool? I'd read the hell out of that.
I honestly think you got a bad batch of trades, because mine were perfectly fine.
He wasn't, pre-Flashpoint.

I browsed ComicGAF this morning expecting Olivia Wilde gifs and a lack of comic reading, not the spreading of statue legs. You've reached new high...lows.

Started reading Vol. 2 of Wolverine and the X-Men (LaTour's run). Who allowed Veltri/Deering/Messina to do art and why are there so many artists per issue (Issues 7, 8, 10, 11)? 9&12 have only one artist and it's the same (Jorge Fornes).
So weird
So weird
I think it holds up really well, as I posted the other day, for my money that's still the definitive run.
The last issue I read was 28, Mikaal's flashback story. Two of the earlier issues I had forgotten about are the Christmas story where Jack spends most of the issue helping the homeless guy track down his locket, it's a great character issue since earlier in the run you know Jack would have ignored the guy.
The other issue that jumped out was Shade in the future telling stories to the children. I love the story about the alien Starman who died during the original Crisis, and Shade's line about Barry dying, "that Crisis claimed a friendly foe, to this day I still miss him very much."
James Robinson will never again write anything that reaches thesee heights, but Starman is so good you can forgive all his forgettable stuff.
You know the movie The Warriors? It was a documentary.
Amazing movie

Yea. I was also surprised how much writing is in each issue. I forgot it was like it and I'm used to comics these days that are way less wordy. The other thing that I love. Whether done intentionally or by accident, DC leaves all these characters alone. After the series ended Only Robinson touches Shade, Jack, etc. and I love that because I couldn't stand Shade going back to generic villian status.
Very good film!
Honestly, if you guys are wondering what life was like back then, check out Rubble Kings. Amazing documentary. Should still be up on Netflix.

cmx have a bundle sale for brubaker's captain america run on sale now. for anyone who has read it...it has Captain America & The Winter Soldier as one bundle, about 45 issues, and then CA Reborn as another bundle at 30 odd issues. Together are these Brubakers complete run?
I have no idea if it's true or not, but I've read a couple times that DC and Robinson have a gentleman's agreement that no one can write any of those characters but him.
Shade had a one shot recently, didn't he?
But yeah, seeing him as something other than his Starman run version would be very difficult.

Would a gentleman's agreement still be in effect after he left the company in a fit?

I kind of believe it. Because the only times they have resurfaced Robinson wrote them (Blackest night, Shade mini). Plus they're all so niche it's not like they're locking down characters that are in high demand.

If we ever do, Marvel will split it into two and ask for $125 for each volume.
And I will buy it like the mark that I am.
Not that I'm aware of. There was as 12 issue miniseries around the beginning of the New 52, but Robinson wrote that.
Considering no one else has written those characters I'd say say yes (if true).
And with Stargirl having the Cosmic Rod, the power set is still in play in the DCU. With Rebirth supposedly bringing legacy back to the DCU, it'll be interesting to see if references to the Knight family pop up.
they would do some dumb shit like this.

Omnibus price increases are your punishment for not buying it the first time.

A little extra violence, probably. Not much. Oh, and Jena Malone, but if you're talking about the
Barbra Gordon survey thing, that was debunked.

The Alias omnibus reprint was more expensive than the initial printing as well.
fuck it is sold out on amazon and not shown on instock trades. I should of bought it when I had the chance.
Also goon library edition 1 is on instock trades for anyone who has been trying to find it.

News is coming out that an actress named Jena Malone, who WB is keeping a secret as to who she will be playing, won't be in the theatrical cut of BvS which means she's probably only in the R rated cut. Why?

One of the guys in the DCEU thread.
More to the point, why would they be sending out a marketing survey asking if people want more of a character who's in a cut of the movie they haven't seen yet?

Maybe they got to see the R rated version.

I dunno, I haven't heard about any director's cut screenings, and even if there were they wouldn't be looking for marketing input this far out.
It's based exactly on a similar survey Sony sent out, so it's probably just a shop.
ah, I think I'm thinking of the Blackest Night one shot. So, not so recent I suppose lol.

Everyone, don't skip out on The Eternaut. Great comics. The verbose narration/dialogue fits so perfectly. Some great characters and the pacing is so good.
The allegory, while constantly present, never gets trite.

It's just a live-action, R-rated version of this:
Ehhhhh.... Kick it up to NC-17 and I'm sold. Also, when does WW Earth One come out? I neeeeeeeed it.

I hope there's an Immortal Iron Fist reprint to go with the tv show.
Maybe so. Either way, it was depressing to see literally half of them fall to pieces after a single reading. Maybe I'll send an email to IST despite them having sat in my backlog forever after all... Doubt it'll help at this late point, but it also can't hurt, I guess.

Oi go get the Vixen miniseries that is on Comixology, it's really friggin' good.
Perez run is good.
In general this is the Wonder Woman runs you should read
1- George Perez
2- Greg Rucka
3- Gail Simone
4- Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe JMS
5- Nu 52 although it isn't really Wondy's show :V
Eugh, only if you have no taste in actual good comic book writing.
Let us know when Ed Brubaker's run is on sale, it's about the only good Catwoman worth reading aside from that one mini that Tim Sale did.
Show me some pages please.
