Okay, so two weeks. I'm sure Tyrant will have another paycheck before then, so long as he doesn't spend it on animu.

Capullo is just Didio pulling a Clark Kent.
The reveal will be extreme.

That facial hair is fantasticSo C2E2 was pretty good this year,,, kinda sucked i didnt sleep much night before so I was only at C2E2 for like 4 or 5 hours and i took off..
Really disappointed in myself for not seeing Mike Mignola( had no patients left for long as lines before he was even there.
Greg Capullo is they coolest, awesomest dude in the comic business that I have ever met.
There was already 100+ people in line 10 minutes into the Con (including me), and he wasn't even going to be at his table till noon.
He got there at 11:30am and shook EVERY, SINGLE persons hand that was in line and talked to them. Such a cool ass guy.
His wife actually had to come get him because he was talking on some random persons phone in line while making his way back to his table.. lol
(My ears aren't really that damn big! haha)
Also I cracked this CGC graded book open,,, and got Capullo and the inker " cgc witness signed",, my holy grail is complete...now I wait 2+ months for the damn book back.
(I will post the rest of my shit I got at the con after work, i only got one sketch done this year too
Monday is science day
Science indeed my good doctor

Finished with Waid and Samnee's Daredevil. I know people said the second run was weaker, and I would definitely agree in the case of the Original Sin stuff, it was still GREAT. The Purple Children arc along with the last arc were just awesome comics. I quite enjoyed the Stunt Master stuff too.
I loved the direction Waid took the cast in, and it felt like a natural evolution for everyone and it got a nice, concluding ending that left me very pleased. He made some wonderful callbacks to older stuff, especially Born Again, that were very well done. He gets Matt and it was just a joy to follow this series. Samnee killed it on art like always, he couldn't be a better fit for this series if he tried honestly.
The Original Sin stuff wasn't necessarily bad, but it just felt kind of... pointless. I never heard a huge desire to learn about Matt's mom personally and it didn't really need to exist. While it was well written and handled very maturely, I would agree with frye in calling it somewhat hollow.
Still, great run all throughout. I definitely like it more than the Bendis run (which I also loved). It's just... so good. Even the more ho-hum arcs were fun to follow. Hopefully Black Widow continues this.

Ah, makes sense when I look at the boxes. Thanks
Yup, easily the best X book right now. I won't vouch for my love of it as I love it more than most but to imply it isn't good isn't true imo
yeah, I rate this over Bendis/Maleev as well and have pretty much since the big Born Again riff from the first volume. I also like the first Brubaker/Lark arc much more than anything from Bendis/Maleev as well -- it's a good run of comics but I think I lack the gene to appreciate Maleev's stiff photo-referenced figures the way other people seem to be able to

The other X-books haven't exactly set a high bar.

You should check it out. It's good! And there is less of the chainmail bikini than you imagine (but there is still some).

Red Sonja is okay. That sums up pretty much every Red Sonja book I've ever read, and that's a decent amount of Red Sonja.
Don't listen to Messi.
That shouldn't add or take away from the enjoyment of this book. It set itself apart completely.
Gail Simones Red Sonja was great fun. Take my opinion of leave it. It matters not.

Nothing personal or anything, Messi. I've just gotten the impression that you go a bit easier on books with characters you're especially fond of.

Yes, I went really easy on Catwoman a character I am very fond of. When I have a problem with a book I stop talking about it. I don't waste energy on it. It makes me come across as someone who likes everything. But that is just because I am selective of what I talk about on here now. Take Harley for example. When is the last time I actually talked about that book? the actually jimmy and amanda comic book? its been months. I think its turned to shit. But there is no point in harping on it because no one cares.
I also have little to no history with Sonja or X-23 (outside of team books).
So, I disagree. But its ok, we don't have to agree on the quality of a book.
Actually...because you don't talk about Harley i just assumed you still liked it and didn't want to post about it.

don't trust any Elektra book that isn't written by Frank Miller or Zeb Wells
if somebody tries to get you to read Peter Milligan's Elektra, you'll know that person isn't a friend
You mean Wells Dark Reign Mini?
I talk about the books that impact me positively and that I want others to try.
Right now, Harley is not one of those books.

I don't understand the question, you already did the most important part. I'm doing something productive, making a Taylor Swift playlist from the four albums i have.

Glad you guys enjoyed those amazing books. Swamp Thing and Daredevil are two of my favorite superheroes, always glad to see them getting some love around here.
Early BvS buzz sounds positive. I'm shocked. I've never been so happy to be wrong about a movie.
sorry dude lemme make this up to you by buying some comics for my shelf
