This is soooo lame. I just want 3 days
You want 4. One day for hunting Nocenti.

It refuses to let me checkout, it loads the page with the tickets I've selected and then I get a webpage is not available error. Just let me fucking checkout with the tickets I want assholes.
One more try on this. Anyone?
Pretty much

I don't know that I'm going to re-up on JL3K when it comes back, that preview wasn't... Well, it just wasn't. There's been a lack of progress and the schtick was wearing thin before they went on break.

You know what's extra bullshitty about this. There's a god damn countdown to how long it'll hold those tickets, and the whole time I'm trying to get the page to load the countdown just keeps going down. So every time it sits there for 2 - 3 minutes not loading is time I'm losing to just buy the tickets I selected. Because their website won't FUCKING LOAD THE CHECK OUT I'm going to loose my tickets and my place.

Getting NYCC tickets sounds like trying to get home Red Sox tickets in the mid/late 2000s. Online sales would open, the website would immediately become vastly overloaded, wait in a queue for ????, and then end up having a good chance to find everything sold out already.
Also, a question. I've never read Thor solos (ignoring the fact that Odinson isn't the current Thor) but the very positive feedback about Thor #8 here makes me interested. Is the, admittedly short, run worth picking up?

Nycc tickets are a cluster fuck.
When's the next incursion?Everything I love dies, every community I have actively engaged in dies , FootballGAF, NBAGAF, FigureGAF. I just want you all to know that when ComicGAF dies because of me that I never meant for it to be like that. I only wanted the best for us. Time runs out, Everything Dies. Sorry
Yeah, but in this case imagine getting through and all that's left are bleacher seats (Thursday)
Geoff Johns and Mark Waid.

I don't think so. At the very least I haven't seen any date for it in released solicitations.
Thanks.
Is Johns run easy to Jump in or do I need some knowledge beside that Flash is fast as fuck?

I've lost my ticket reservation twice now, that means 30 minutes of just trying to fucking check out, this is fucking ridiculous. By the time this thing lets me check out everything is going to be sold out.

Be vigilant my friend!
You can just jump in. Not sure what you like but it's good. There's a little bit of Original Sin that sets the stage for it, tho.
If you got MU, reading Thor: God of Thunder God Butcher and God Bomb is a great idea. Those are vol 1 & 2. You can skip the 3rd arc, but jump back onto the 4th vol/arc.

It's easy to jump in. It's how I started reading flash and it's still my favorite run.

Best odinson book for new Hammerites is Thor: The Mighty Avenger, fwiw.

It TOTALLY is. You should also read Aaron's preceding run, with old Thor (Thor: God of Thunder), as its also tremendous fun.

You know this shit is going to get hammered, why not rent extra servers for the day, but nope lets have people have a frustrating and shitty experience instead.

Part of the problem is they basically have no reason to fix it. It's not like they have to worry that they won't get max attendance.
... Annnnnnnd I just looked things up and realized that my plan has horribly backfired. The original Annihilation Omnibus is apparently already horribly out of print and going for like twice MSRP... and Amazon still has the Conquest Omnibus as a month off. This crap is ridiculous, bleh.
OK, thanks^^
Waids Run not that good collected :/
Where do you live?

Yeah, it's ridiculous how the prices on these things balloon once they get out of print. Just need to hold out hope that Marvel decides to do reprints in the next few years.

Ladies and gentlemen, I prostrate myself before you and admit my past transgressions. I am selfish. I am judgmental. I have sinned.
I set off Frank Quitely War and Frank Quitely War II with my pointed criticism of Potato Head heroes, amorphous faces, and photocopied characters from page to page. In doing so, I allowed my biases to clog up the great wheel that is Comics GAF, and killed any meaningful discussion about anime waifus or $300 figures for several pages.
I was wrong.
But even those misdeeds pale in comparison to criticism of Secret Wars.
It's one thing to not like Secret Wars. I get it. You're wrong, it's the best comic event in a decade, we're going to be praising it for years, blah blah blah. But I get it. There's no accounting for taste, and all that. It's early. The event could derail. Cows may fly.
It's another thing to not like Secret Wars because of some random corporate "interests" that are totally unrelated to the event. What? The MCU is a separate beast that mines comics for ideas. That's the connection. Comics aren't written with the idea of turning them into a feature film. Most of the movie fanbase couldn't possibly care less about the comic world.
Dan DiDio is sitting in his office right now with a hidden copy of Secret Wars #2 under his desk and he is sobbing uncontrollably. Let It Go.

Civil war has to be the most anti climactic thing I've ever read.

Eh. At least it had actual, long lasting affects on the status quo. The worst thing a big crossover event can be is meaningless.

Welp gonna wiat for my brother to get back and then we'll book tickets for Mad Max FR.
Out of all the 3 Mad Max films, I'd rank them 2>1=3
You only need to see Mad Max 2 though for FR.
Obama chuckled.

The brutal and subtle own at the end of Frontline is still great, too.
