Say what you want about Before Watchmen: Ozymandias but Jae Lee killed that book:

I enjoyed it but then again I find Ozymandias to be an intriguing villain. I wanted a book that explored him more.

 

[MG310]

I'll be at NYCC Thursday-Saturday.

You did it! Wonder what they're even going to have for sale at Special Edition.

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.

Working on Wednesdays sucks. The wait to read this issue is terrible.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

When are they going to pair Trevor McCarthy with the writer he deserves?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Well I got Secret Wars #0-2 today. Just need to finish Avengers now!

 

[Tragicomedy]

Get it digitally and read it on Comixology or Marvel. You know, over lunch

or right now because you aren't working that hard, bro!

Jae Lee's art is phenomenal, though it might not always be the best fit for some series...like that one Batman and Superman book. Now that one had the creepiest park bench ever...

[Poodlestrike]

Going through the DC sneak peeks now... Bat-Mite, Bizzaro, Doctor Fate, and Action Comics are all pretty great. Lost Army and Lobo are meh AF.

 

[ElNarez]

if you think my posts on GAF are bad, wait till you see my tumblr

elnarez pls notice me I just followed you

you're great at tumbl

also: jae lee's amazing grasp on layouts and geometry in Ozymandias is fucking wasted on the Len Wein barf script

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Secret Wars world seems really neat. Coolest new world since Age of X I think.

Ive neve read Flash.
Do I want to read Geoff Johns Flash?

Mark Waid and Geoff Johns

Wow that Aquaman preview story was bad. Awful writing, uninspired art, just a bad comic book. Putting Cullen Bunn on that book was a horrible idea.

yea looks dumb

 

[Filthy Slug]

Is nu52 Demon Knights worth reading?

Absolutely. It's really fucking fun, and was one of the better New52 books prior to cancellation. Also, if you haven't already, check out Frankenstein.

 

[Splatt]

Oh god, that panel with Spiderman in Howard #3... I just... I can't :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Schweinehund]

.

The first comic book I've read where the art completely turned me off the book. He's not a terrible artist, just I don't care for the style at all. The story telling didn't help either.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Speaking of Jae Lee, this piece below is one of the most impressive pages I've seen. My only issue with it is Ma and Pa dying in a car accident. Not super feeling that, but it works for this specific instance.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Okay, read JL3001 preview, and I'm pretty freaking confused. I'd read issue 15 last, which left things in... a rather dire place. Giffen's going to wrap that up, right?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Brudda tim, McCarthy just can't be inspired at this point. Working with Noccenti's and now Bunn has to do a number on your passion. I think it's the biggest misfire of this DC refresh. Should've just kept Parker on the book, he was doing solid work. It sucks because Aquaman looked to be poised for legitimacy with Johns, but then Dan Jurgens on The Others was a fucking disgrace. Blandest, boring piece of shit I've ever read. Ostrander had those brahs on point. Atlantis inspires and awes with a sense of wonder at such a young age. Why won't anyone tap into that?

I agree with everything you've said here. If Ostrander was offered the Others and turned it down then the book should have died right there on the spot. Parker and Pelletier should have stayed on Aquaman for as long as they wanted, not forced out for Cullen Bunn and a tired "Arthur on the run from Atlantis" story.

Those Secret Wars Preview Pages looks amazing.

I've had a thought about things and made a dumb tumblr post and this is why I'm not allowed to have thoughts anymore

[WadiumArcadium]

That Groot cameo in Avengers #32. So good.

 

[Rrongfield]

It's the same as Amazon's. I've not ordered anywhere near the same volume from then but I've only had one major issue which was a book arriving with a huge tear along the front cover and the first 10-20 pages. They asked for pictures and sent out a replacement free of charge once I'd emailed them through.

Yep, everything is shipped seperately, in an envelope. I've been lucky enough to never get a book in bad condition though. iirc the last few trades I ordered there all arrived in perfect condition. It does take a while for the books to arrive. If you live in the US, it might take even longer. I'd recommend them, sometimes they're the cheapest option around for me.

I've never even ordered from IST. I saw Messi's last delivery, complete with giant box of packing peanuts, and decided that I am not about that life. Not even a little. I got stung by customs once on a couple of t-shirts, never again. Nothing's worth that hassle.

I would have to carry it home from the post office as well since anything bigger than a small letter just gets a "sorry we missed you" note to come and collect it. I don't wanna die, man!

I really want the D&D Princes of the Apocalypse book though. I might throw it in with my mic.

Thanks for all the help. I'll (hopefully) report my results soon.






Anyhow,
There is only SECRET WARS.
And Thor.
And Black Science.
And Injection.
They were all amazing and bonkers and all that. Weeks like these are why I read comics.

I loved that whole arc. Easily the best thing with an Original Sin banner even if it's in name only.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Do u guys need a free follow cuz I tumbl too

check your PMs

Also, just read Uncanny Avengers. P good but felt like it ended too quickly. I wonder if Duggan will take over after Secret Wars since he's listed as a writer for this issue.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh my god, Breaking Bad

 

[styl3s]

I feel like the cover of Secret Wars #2 is made of like tracing paper and that its gonna rip off whenever i touch it.

Also, i want an entire run of

Spoiler

God Doom and this universe full of super villain kingdoms.

Also

Spoiler

Is that pit full of marvel zombies? and holy shit at that Thanos ending

I am completely biased because i am a huge Marvel fanboy but SW #1 and #2 are so fucking good that i went ahead and put all tie-ins on my pull list. Also, thanks for the recommendations from the other thread i picked up Superboy #1 and #2, Superman #1 and #2 and Adventures of Superman #1 and #2. Only read #1 of Superman and Superboy and thoroughly enjoyed both issues i am gonna dive into the rest later. Someone mentioned i should pick up a certain Green Arrow run but i couldn't remember what run it was but when i do find out and if its in trade ill order it off IST later.

Yep. Really love this series. Can't wait to get a collection edition of it all.

Please Marvel.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Something that needs to be fixed on Comixology (at least on the desktop site) is how underneath "My Books" creators can sometimes be incorrect or incomplete. Duggan's not listed for Uncanny Avengers #4 (despite being listed on the product page) and Stacey Lee is listed for Silk #4 despite not doing the art for it (both in my books and product page).
