Got one coming tomorrow as well. With two more on the way.



Eh...my tastes aren't that superior...So I guess yours might be unbeatable.

One of them is one of two I showed you on eBay? One of them sold it seems. The more expensive one.

I've got my eyes on something else right now.

I gotta tell you what I did. I contacted him. There's WAY more of them. WAY MORE. He has almost all of them.

2000AD is set up in such a way like a Soap Opera where you don't really know what's going on, but you don't care because you're caught up in the moment. You sold me on Mad Max.

On one hand

Black Widow: The Tightly Tangled Web is pretty damn solid. Gohgeous Noto art, efficient writing, globetrotting scope.

On the other hand, every time Nat uses violence to extract info from someone, i remember how much of a creepy fuck Edmonson is. Hrm.


Also lol at Bucky having a raging boner for nat.
Click to expand...

Bucky hasn't let Nat go at all lol. At the end of Latour's run he did a quick time travel to get a kiss. Can Marvel give her damn memories back already and have her and Bucky work together again?

And yeah, some of the stuff in Edmondson's BW is off a bit.

I finished Infinity. I don't think I loved it, but I really thought it was thoroughly enjoyable and often times thrilling even. It has amazing detail and narration; It feels very cinematic, and while it's definitely plot orientated, it has it's fair share of character moments. There are more as it goes on and they're good. I think the ending was satisfying, but the epilogue? Ugh. I'm devastated. So sad.

Fantastic work.

With that, I'm halfway through Hickman's Avengers and that much closer to Secret Wars!

On to the next incursion, y'all...

I picked Spider because I get the sense he's another long time comic reader that is familiar with some of my "older" callbacks of series. Like OG girly hijinks SiP #brofist, books like Transmet, kabuki, etc
Click to expand...

yea probably right, those were so my thing going through the shitshow of the 90's after quitting all of it for a bit during whenever xtinction agenda was happening. Then getting pulled back for Age of poccylypssse but DC yanked me over with Supergirl, Flash, Aquaman and Green Lantern. And hanging out with one of those Vertigo girls who got(made) me reading Sandman, Kid Eternity and Hellblazer and Swamp Thing. and finding Kabuki, Transmetropolitan and SiP. Then Daredevil and Black Panther kicking my ass.

wait..I don't even know where I'm going with any of that but I think I used to be cooler

fucking comics though

Why are all the art pages I see just pencilled/inked? Is all colouring done digitally?
Click to expand...

Unless, the artwork is painted or watercolored from the start, all coloring is digital. I cannot think of a single colorist who doesnt work digitally.

gketter said:
So comicGAF I'd like to do a game of sorts. For a month or so I've been trying to determine from people's comic book opinions who's taste closest aligned with myself.

I think mine is a mix of SpiderJerusalem and Tim.

What say you?
Click to expand...
Hmmm I think Filthy Slug and I have really similar tastes. ElNarez too.

They rarely are.

Digital art is killing the whole art selling market.

Hmm I kind of agree with this to a point. I know some artists who draw covers and splash pages digitally then print the pencils and ink over it. Its a good way to still have your digital drawing tools but still have original art to sell.

So yeah, I just got my self invovled with Secret Wars. B-Dubs told me that I need to read Johnathan Hickman's Fantastic Four/Avengers/New Avengers (though I think he told me out of wanting me to blow my mind then to be more informed) runs so I came across this site: http://www.howtolovecomics.com/2015/04/06/jonathan-hickman-avengers-reading-guide/ which got me checking Amazon at first and noticed this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0785191097/?tag=neogaf0e-20. Going by the reviews though, it seems like it has extra issues but two things that concern me:

1) Is this hardcover collection basically a collection of all of these separate collections collected even more because the collection info isn't much detailed at all (that is a lot of collecting)

2) Because it was released last month, does that mean I have to wait even longer for vol. 2? Because going by this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0785197095/?tag=neogaf0e-20, that maybe so and I don't think I want to wait that long while Secret Wars is going on.

I believe you are correct. The hard cover, covers the two volumes, in the guide.

edit: I think it's just a premium version of what's already out. Just the first two arcs.

Hickman's FF -> Avengers run is amazing. Youre in for a hell of a ride.

However, it is something like 80 issues long now, and I would definitely recommend you read the entire thing in order.

Good news! You can read almost the entire thing without killing your wallet. Get a Marvell Unlimited account. Its like Netflix for Marvel comics. It runs 6 months behind but you can just buy the issues from the last six months instead of the last few years.

The hardcover you linked is a great format but the collection is kind of messed up. They really should have collected it a different way, probably by treating both Avengers and New Avengers as one series. If you get that OHC you'd probably want the OHC of New Avengers which would be fine if it didnt have so many overlapping issues that are absolutely necessary for the Infinity storyline.

So I guess I would just recommend reading everything on Marvel Unlimited and buying the eventual omnibus that will actually have the issues compiled in a way that makes sense.

Theres a pretty good reading order someone posted here. Ill try to look for it if its not posted soon again.

You're right. I've been feeling a bit pressured about some of those FF prices that I was wondering if I was gonna' go for it this summer but yeah, my main money should focus on Secret Wars and rely on other cheaper means to read Hickman's stories that lead to this. Thanks, ed. ^_^

If you really thought I was serious...I don't know what to tell you. I think had you not been avoiding comic OT's you'd recognize who is joking and that we're all good company here.

First two are barely watchable, my dude. Mad Max 3, however, holds up damn well. Also, i'm fucking excited about Fury Road.

See, I thought that Mad Max always took place in the desert, but from what I've seen the first two look like they take place in a Forest? That really threw me off guard.

Edit: well...not necessarily a "Forest", but not the setting I thought it would be.

They most certainly take place in the desert, so that's weird. The third has an ewok village thing, but that's still desert-y.

I'll have to watch them. It's just that the "12 things you didnt know about mad max" on Kotaku highlighted scenes that didn't look very desert-y.
