I expect good things from Hopeless.
Give him a cosmic book or All New Wolverine

That book is still going?
Reported to end post Newton arc.
ANW is getting the Hyperion artist next issue.
All-New Wolverine is already getting a new main artist starting with the next issue.

I didn't read that. Good or bad? The art. Friend told me the book was awful

Thiiiink Hopeless is in May man, so you've got an issue or so left yet.
Mmm, have to admit, Strange is really only a character I came to for the writer but the way Aaron interpretes his world, I really like. I could stay on if Hopeless brings the good, but it's definitely an if. I'd be as happy to jump off and free up my budget for something else or follow Aaron to whatever his replacement book is.
I could maybe see Bachelo on the Astonishing X-Men book, although no idea why they wouldn't announce that upfront if so.
Oh damn
Legit called me a Yamcha though.
Bachalo on an X-Men book seems too comfortable or easy now. I'd love to see him on Captain America to mix it up and get out of his comfort zone. He could channel a bit of Steranko and have fun with the Hydra and stars and stripes motifs.

Oh good. I like ANW, but I'm not particularly a fan of the art. Feels inconsistent.
I can agree with this.
I'd rather him back on X-Men. The X-Men books have had trash art recently.

Gleason is completely killing these Superman 19 preview pages.

That's because the book has pretty much changed artists with each arc. This is supposed to be the permanent artist though so hopefully he'll stick.
Walking dead 164-165
not liking this at all.
i don't like the whole herding zombies with horses thing, it doesn't make for an interesting page and the dialogue is repetitive. Speaking of repetitive, let's have more panels of rick glaring at Negan. I also don't know any of these former Negan territory people.

Old Man Logan #1 - #8 was decent but I have a feeling it might work better for someone who has a lot of history with the X-Men franchise. For the most part, it felt aimless after the first 4 issues. Once
, it's just an older Logan brought in to be available and still have a "Death of Wolverine".
On that note, the Marvel's trades just seem to be getting worse on the value front. $17 for 4 issues in a trade with some random older issue thrown in to make it bulkier?
Saw a listing on my library catalog that included the words Super Sons and reserved it thinking it was the new Super Sons trade. Turned out to be some 70s comic with Superman and Batman's sons who look about 1 year younger than them? Hope it is decent.
Who asked for a tpb collection of Werewolf By Night where v1 is $40? Shops are having trouble clearing out the full omnibus for $35.
Rogers shows him that this might not be his current time line

Haha, I was actually thinking about this last night. I reread the first trade (and I totally agree btw, 4 issues and an old Millar issue, really) and they could have went further with the initial premise. When you think about it, they ended up killing Banner elsewhere anyway so they could have went a good deal further with the list and made it a bigger deal than the usual problem of not being able to follow through on killing big characters. I quite like the simple payoff of
confronting him with the statue

Doing some New 52 reading along with a podcast and it starts with Justice League. Feels nice to be able to go back and read an actually good Justice League book. It's kind of weird going back to the start when all I read previously was the Darkseid War. Must have been really awesome to have all this set up from the start and finally coming to a head.
Justice League vol. 1
I absolutely loved this. The interactions between Flash and Hal, the attitude of Diana and her wanting a fight at all times, the cocky Superman, Aquaman coming in and immediately being badass, and everyone doubting that Batman exists and wondering why he was there when he didn't have powers. All of this was so great. If I had to pick a downfall I'd say the only big one I saw was Cyborg. He just seems like a tough character to make interesting.

Isn't that the volume that Jim Lee ghost wrote?

The cover did refer to him as "Godly" Jim Lee, but I'm not really sure.
The rumor is that Lee ghost wrote the first 12 issues.

The biggest this volume made me realize is that I now dislike the current run of Flash a little more than I already did. Seeing the sense of humor mixed with the befuddlement really came across with the goody goody aspect of Barry wanting to clean up any damage done while trying to not break any laws or be seen by police. I want to see more of this Barry Allen. There has been no real sense of humor in Williamson's Flash outside of the Christmas/Kid Flash issue which is probably my favorite issue of this run.

Batwoman sale on CMX. Includes the first two Bombshell trades and the first 'Tec Rebirth issues among others.
The tonal difference between the first 12 issues and then 13 and on is pretty noticeable too.
You're one of the few people I've seen like the first volume of Justice League New 52 and specifically their characterizations.

I wonder if it's due to me coming in as a somewhat new reader. I can see stuff like the cocky Superman, and the overzealous Hal being annoying to fans coming into New 52 as long time readers.
I'm coming from only reading DC YOU and Rebirth outside of a few of the more notable trades. With having nothing really to compare it to other than N52's Truth story of Superman, and the current run of JL and Flash, pretty much everything came off as great to me.

I believe it. JL arguably didn't get good until Throne of Atlantis and the Superman and WW pairing came off as obvious corporate meddling. You can tell Johns didn't give a shit about the relationship and avoided it as much as possible.
I enjoyed the first story arc as a big summer blockbuster movie. It's got energy, it's quick, and the art is on point.

I thought the first volume of new 52 JLA was super awful. This was the one with people yelling out
you did it!
youre the worlds greatest heroes!
at the end right

Yeah, something like that. To be fair it set up from the very first pages that they were viewed as a primary target of the government and seen as scary and bad guys before Darkseid invaded.

GAF, seeing the thread for that Inhumans TV show reminded me how much I love Jenkins' and Lee's run. That said, I've never read anything else Inhumans-related.
Is there anything on that level?

I mean, Im not here to tell you that you shouldn't have enjoyed what you read, but I think you'll find the later volumes of the series better. I usually see it recommended from vol 3 onward
RepairmanJack

Yeah, I think I can understand that. There definitely isn't a ton of actual substance in this first volume. I think that's why Cyborg felt so out of place in it, because he gets the most set up but is ultimately just used as a plot device. Everything else is basically non stop action with some comedy thrown in. Can definitely see the comparison to a blockbuster movie.
