The book is more Superman than Wonder Woman, I feel, but if you want more traditional superheroics with the character, it's a good read.

It was fine in the beginning, but 30+ issues in now, come on. I'm hoping the new creative team changes things up when they come in.
With the Constantine show getting a trailer this week, I've been reading some of the old Hellblazer comics and holy shit, these things are kinda packed with weird, legthy monologues (which I love and hate at the same time). Anyone got any volumes or places in particular that I simply MUST read?

Wait how many issues does Superman/Wonder Woman have?
Eight or nine now?
How long until it gets released in TPB/HC form?

hmm, reasonably priced even with shipping. I'd rock it on occasion but Ima have to put it off for the time being

What are the odds of a pervert being a furvert or vice-versa?

Absolutely. Shitty to see people dismiss him as a pervert because he was attempting to broaden peoples' sexuality during a heavily repressed time. Dude also pushed for more women in workplaces like the FBI.

Completely depends on whether this is a Hepzibah question or not.
I take issue with this.
Edit: Actually that reminds me, must check if Shiniez has posted the new page of Sunstone yet
Edit: 3 DAYS! Yay!

I just checked a few days ago and nada. Lemme know if the situation has changed. Also, any word on the printed editions?

I'm just speaking from experience
They are still working on re formatting the strips for printing and fixing some of the spelling. Also there were some family health issues seemingly which kept them from working on it. But seemingly the next strip will be in the next 3 days. They posted a pic from it.

Quick question, for Marvel Unlimited do ALL ongoing current series end up available on the service after the usual 6 month delay or are certain titles excluded?
It's not clockwork, but most stuff does end up there eventually. Definitely all of the popular series.

If you really want to try to break people of their Hepzibah attraction, you could try creeping them out with the help of Greg Land Hepzibah.

Yeah his Wonder Woman is pretty fantastic.

He draws a lot of amazing stuff. His original graphic novel series Ravine is gorgeous.

Get him on a wonder woman book.
Yep, he has a great style. His faces in particular are very expressive. It constantly amazes me in Sunstone. Lisa's lip biting when she is nervous for example.
Yes Diana leave Supes for Bruce. You know you want to.

Every time he traces that smile, all I can see is creepy Tony Stark.

So do I actually, it was something different. I like her current look also.

I was gonna post his WW earlier, I didn't know he also did that Sunstone stuff y'all talk about. I know him mostly from his digitally done Top Cow stuff but i like this style of his more
Yeah Sunstone is written and drawn by him and his wife I believe.

So I started reading Bendis' Daredevil run. First arc centered on Ulrich and the boy had some of the most confusing and frustrating art I have ever seen.
But so far the rest has been great. My only other experience with Daredevil is Frank Miller's run, which was great. But because of this gap I have a few questions.
Also, my gf started reading Journey into Mystery Featuring Sif. I haven't read it yet but she's complaining pretty good that she has no idea why anything is happening or what is going on. I quote : "Its called Journey into Mystery because you don't know what the fuck is happening!!!"
Is there some back story we should know about beforehand? Or does it explain itself later on?

Why does Kingpin know that Matt is Daredevil? Why does Foggy know Matt is Daredevil? Why is Kingpin blind? Why is this loser from Chicago such a goober?

Since ya'll are talking about Wonder Woman artists again, did any of you mention Nicola? Because Nicola draws a great Wonder Woman.

You've said you read Miller's run but you haven't read Born Again?
FUBAR McDangles

I read through Born Again, yeah. Are some of my questions answered in that?
It was probably 4-5 years ago and I don't remember much beyond thinking it was a fun romp. I should probably go through it again.
shadyspace

Yeah. The answer to your first question is in it. And if your memory of it was a fun romp you should definitely give it another read because clearly it's been too long lol
Delta Assault

Fun romp? That doesn't sound like "Born Again" at all...
FUBAR McDangles
Member
Oh jeez. Not so much Born Again being fun but that the entire Miller run, or at least what I had of it, was enjoyable to read and really made me like the character. I remember very few specifics.
Well I won't be able to pick them up from my parents' place for a month or so when I go down there next but I'm hoping to bring back my whole collection. I'm going to go through the whole thing again.
There's 2 arcs before Bendis' run starts in DD Volume 2 - Guardian Devil and Parts of a Hole - that are definitely worth reading as well.
Born Again is literally a story about the Kingpin learning about Daredevil's secret identity and subsequently destroying Matt's life.
e: I'm assuming the guy from Chicago is the the one who goes all Julius Caesar on Kingpin in the first issue of Bendis/Maleev? That dude is just a shorthand for "normal" crime reasserting itself in the Daredevil comic and also a rejection of the Kingpin and his keeping Matt's id to himself.

Oh dang. Comixology has the whole 52 series in a 99 cent run. To double dip or not. I'll need to think on this...

oh, and just so we stop referring to him as "that shiniez guy", his name is Stjepan Sejic. Talent like that deserves to be recognized.
