The original plan for Omega was for it to be seven issues, but it sounds like issue #5 is now the last. From what I've read, the final two issues will still be released by they won't be under the "Omega" label.

Makes no difference to me, other than I foresee some additional delays in their release. It will be worth the wait.

When I was checking wikipedia to find info on the last trade the last two issues will be labeled "Alpha".

It also has a story featuring Riddler, back when he was reformed. Speaking of which I much liked it when Ivy, Harley and Riddler were 'good guys' befor the reboot.

Isn't Ivy good now? Or at least an anti-hero. I don't read Suicide Squad but I think Harley is still looney? Did Riddler even appear in 52 yet?

He was in the first issue of Batman by Scott Synder and Greg Capuliio and he has a part in the recent Batman Death of the Family arc.

Poison Ivy was also a fairly frequent guest in the Harley Quinn solo series from some years back; the one by Kesel, with artwork by the Dodsons. That series was a lot of fun, with Harley breaking away from Joker and having her own gang of goons, moving to Metropolis for a time and getting into all sort of mischief.

EDIT: This one.

Morning Glories is way closer to Lost than Locke and Key.

Both are awesome!

 

[Nudull]

Gotten through Priest's BP: The Client and vol. 1 of JIM. So damn good.

He's also going to be the major villain in an upcoming arc.

Ugh. I don't even know what to think about Morning Gkories at this point. It's way too far in for us to have so few answers. I like the characters and the art, but the story is a fucking mess. You're right! It is just like Lost!

 

[EleventhDoctor]

The Slavers was one of the best stories in punisher Max. Mother Russia was also a great story.

Mother Russia is amazing. Frank and Nick Fury working together. And THAT'S how Fury should be.

Should I read TMNT #21 before getting 22?

 

[Acid08]

Should I read TMNT #21 before getting 22?

You should read the whole series.

 

[Rrongfield]

Should I read TMNT #21 before getting 22?

you might sort of understand the plot and the characters.
But it is an amazingly awesome series that you should definitely read from the first issue.
Like right now.

 

[sazabirules]

I wanted to get the hardcover for TMNT but I found out it has the same amount of issues as the first tpb so I'll just buy the paperbacks.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Yeah, that was a ridiculous move by IDW, I thought. Despite the fact that the hardcover version had some bonus material in the way of sketches and whatnot, charging $50 for a fucking 192-page hardcover is ludicrous. Let me tell you something about IDW - they're a bunch of entitled shit-cunts.

 

[Owzers]

I started reading Fables #125...I have no desire to read this arc. Stopped ordering Fables after 129 but that's 5 whole issues to get through.

Eh IDW has some of my fav. books/series atm, but their regular TPBs cost $15-20, and tend to collect like 5 issues on average.

For that matter, who do I gotta e-mail for a Transformers Spotlight TPB collecting Orion Pax, Hoist, Trailcutter/Trailbreaker & Transformers 23 and 24?
Cuz I don't want to get Chaos Theory despite how much I want to have TF #23 and 24 in a TPB >_<.

 

[Kwixotik]

I just read Welcome to Lovecraft. It was excellente.

 

[Nudull]

There's a Generation Hope/Young X-Men sale going on Comixology, and I already spent my last bit of change on Subatomic Party Girls. Crap. :/

 

[Dan]

So my fiance has somewhat of a ladycrush on Poison Ivy, seeing that she controls plants and is a redhead. I have

Spoiler

Hush

already, what else can I buy that has a lot of Poison Ivy? I know there's a Harley/Ivy trade, but I didn't see it at my local shop. Other suggestions?

Try out Gotham City Sirens. It was a team-up series with Poison Ivy, Catwoman and Harley Quinn. There are 3 trades I think. I read the first two and they were fun enough.

Damn I totally forgot about this book! I really enjoyed it at the time. It and Streets of Gotham.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Generation Hope, best teen book written by Gillen, is on sale on Comixology. Also Young X-Men, which was pretty decent after the first arc. Get them, X fans!

Annoyingly I missed the Secret Avengers sale over the weekend, I only had access on Friday night and the store hadn't updated the prices yet. Shame as I was going to get all the Warren Ellis issues.

Speaking of Warren Ellis, just noticed the Planetary Omnibus hardcover rerelease is up for preorder on Amazon UK for £35. Definitely getting that.

 

[Tizoc]

Hmm anyone know where I can read up about Roy Thomas' (short) time working with DC before joining Marvel?

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I'm working on the June OT this week and will TRY to have it up for the weekend... I have relatives visiting on their summer vacation, so we'll see how that works out. So, if anyone has an idea for a "Bullhorn" segment for June, I'd love to hear about it; just send me a PM with a brief description.

Also, I haven't fully decided yet but I may (repeat, MAY) take off from making the July OT, because everyone could use a break now and then. I should have my mind made up in the next few weeks.

 

[Rastafarian42]

He's also going to be the major villain in an upcoming arc.

Year Zero ? Hmm I guess I might buy it in trade back if reviews are good. Synder reads much better in a TPB than singles for me.

 

[Splatt]

Locke & Key is amazing. Just... fuck, it's so good.

 

[Tizoc]

Comixology needs to do an Atomic Robo and/or Jonah Hex sale next~

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Comixology needs to do an Atomic Robo and/or Jonah Hex sale next~

Indeed. I'd love to get all my Jonah Hex comics back in digital form

Speaking of Comixology i've been such an idiot! Turns out i've been paying tax through itunes/ipad app buying comics when i could just buy from their site that had no tax. When i did that there was no tax and it syncs to the ipad instantly for download.

 

[Bull]

Heh well I found out that there's a story featuring Poison Ivy in Batman: Detective written by Paul Dini.
There's a page of a practically naked Poison Ivy in it:

It also has a story featuring Riddler, back when he was reformed. Speaking of which I much liked it when Ivy, Harley and Riddler were 'good guys' befor the reboot.

The Joker issue in that trade is great.

 

[Tizoc]

The Joker issue in that trade is great.

Indeed it is, and Tim being calm and collected throughout it was a major highlight too.

 

[Wool]

Also, I haven't fully decided yet but I may (repeat, MAY) take off from making the July OT, because everyone could use a break now and then. I should have my mind made up in the next few weeks.

I can't make up my mind whether to subscribe to the Brian Wood X-Men starting next week, or just wait to hear if it's good and get the trades. The art looks great. Damn Marvel and their $4.00 comics...

 

[kswiston]

Decent sized week this week for me:

- Justice League of America #4
- Captain America #7
- Indestructible Hulk #8
- New Avengers #6
- Uncanny X-Force #5
- Wolverine and the X-Men #30
- X-Men #1

- I am thinking of dropping Hulk though. I typically like Waid's writing, but this book hasn't been doing it for me.

47 I think is directly related.

But all BPRD is required reading and those are no exception.

Morning Glories is double sized, probably where the price increase comes in.

Chew week!!!!!!!!!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Which would be fine if the story wasn't still fucking incomprehensible. Spencer can get fucked.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Looking forward to this arc !

Zeb Wells and Joe Mad Interview on the Savage Wolverine arc

It's time to become a man. I'm going to read all of Mouse Guard.

I also cannot find the third volume of TMNT. :-(

Are you looking online or at a physical retail location?

 

[Necrovex]

Are you looking online or at a physical retail location?

Retail store. I am one of those people who blast through a volume at the actual store when I am playing catch up on a comic series

Spoiler

I know that I'm a bad person for doing this.
