The lack of face paint is disappointing.
I like how she looks all space-ey.
Anyways, heard that she is a decoy or something like that.

That's a solid list but for Green Arrow I'd also add Kevin Smith's Quiver. It's the best Green Arrow anything I've read and has some great connections to the DC Universe at large, like Sandman.

I don't think anyone really cares.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The issue right after that is sogood. (But fill-in art)
To give some context: I'm not really into ongoing comic series. I enjoyed The Dark Knight returns, tried Planet Hulk and WW Hulk and found them ridiculous and am reading through The Killing Joke right now which I also enjoyed. Most of the time, I am more entertained through the synopsis then the actual comic.
After some threads in here, I bought the first Issue of Hawkeye though - This is the stuff I want to read! Great Art and nothing too self serious in the stories - good writing too.
But after the first three stories, the art style changed for the worse and the story itself wasn't too good either - the videotape stuff.
Will they get back to the first three issues in style and substance? The next compendium releases in July in Germany and I'll pre-order right now, if it gets back to the good stuff.

Hahaha, Birdie with the best response yet.
Guess I should have phrased it to say the reason comics sites care.

If nothing else, Wonder Woman: Earth One is going to be gorgeous.

It's been readable from the start, but the current arc with the Apocalypse Twins is much better than the previous one. It's pretty much a direct continuation of Uncanny X-Force's Dark Angel Saga.
If nothing else, Wonder Woman: Earth One is going to be gorgeous.
As if there was any doubt.

Yes. It will. Javier Pulido did the art for issue 4 and 5. Aja is back with issue 6.
Thanks, bro. Order placed, bro.

Except if there was a bunch of cheesy narration and Thor blabbing away on every damn page. I may be in be minority, but all of Thors dialogue drives me insane. Jesus, shuteth the fuck upeth.

It's the same style and quality as the other Justice League figures. I was originally solicited by being made by Mattel, so I was hesitant to get it but it is by DC Direct. Can't wait for my Vibe figure this summer!

Didn't even know this was even coming out, and by Morrison, too? Will read.
That Vibe figure looks sweet, isn't that a two pack with the Flash?

Yup. I signed up for a bunch of books last year (july-ish) and it's been smooth sailing.
Looks like the Invincible Bat Cow's gonna get a story:
If nothing else, Wonder Woman: Earth One is going to be gorgeous.
Delicious.
Whelp, guess I'll be picking up this Earth One edition then. Any estimated release date?
PayPal finally fixed my account, so I have been thinking about picking the paperbacks of Hawkeye and Manhattan Project. My friend lent me Saga, which I plan to read after I finish Nausicaa.
Also, will Locke and Key be six volumes total? I've been planning to start reading that soon too.

OMAC and Phantom Stranger sez "If Didio's as far away from dialogue as possible it's gonna be golden"
And, well, what do you expect the fucking Bat-Cow to say?
Moo.

New X-Men did it.
Hey, if you're reading Inc you know how nuanced that moo can be.

Hey just wanted to say thanks to SpiderJerusalem and others for the DC recommends a page back when I asked. Tossing those on a list and seeing what is available from the library system first.

I'm horrifically biased. But as a massive Legion of Super Heroes fan, you should also consider the "Superman and the Legion of Super Heroes" trade. Gives you a great look at a Superman who doesn't have his powers and why he is still an inspiration to humanity a 1000 years in the future.

Cool, I'll nab that as well. The only Super (Girl / Man / Woman / Dog / Boy) anything that I've read was All-Star Superman, so it's all fresh to me.
I dunno if it was on your list, but check out Superman Red Son as well. It's like the only thing good Mark Millar ever wrote, well mostly wrote since Grant Morrison did the ending.

A couple of hours ago I stumbled upon this little gem.
A pretty solid interpretation of some of that classic Lovecraftian action. And the best bit? It's free to read! I personally liked it so much, that I ordered myself the printed version.

Don't toy with my emotions.
So anyone here read Lost Girls? Just finished it myself and not sure what to think of it. Would probably need to re-read it to be able to form a stronger opinion.
Also, what do people think of Marshal Law? I saw a DC collection of it on Saturday, and it seemed interesting.
There's so much Marvel and DC stuff that I'm sure is worth reading (and that I'd love to read), but it's all so expensive, and I can't help knowing that I'm never going to catch up with current continuity. The first collection of Saga was amazingly dirt-cheap though: only £7.50 for the first six issues!

The first opening panels of Angela #1 were awesome. I always thought she had a great dark sense of humor.
I am super excited about her coming back to comics. I wish Gaiman could write everything she appears in.
