I knew there was a reason we were getting consistent old Legion releases every week.

Good, so Marvel NOW! it is then. But what does this mean? http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/19/8257043/marvel-ending-33-comics-secret-wars
Is everything starting from scratch again? And is Secret Wars not important for this since it's a major event?
Yes, he uploaded it for free on deviant art. Physical book is out in two weeks. All of his shit broke stopping him from working while he waited for new stuff. That caused him to miss his deadline so he put it up on deviant art because he refused to make people wait another month. Dude just has bad luck. Good sales for the trade is all that will save death vigil according to him.

I did not know that. Gracias.
I know this sounds mean, but I'm okay if Death Vigil doesn't go beyond it's initially planned 8 issue run (that was the case, was it not?). I love the book, I do. I look forward to it every month, but I'd really like it if it ended and just told a really good story. I wouldn't want it to go on for too long.
He is not done uploading them yet

Secret Wars is the biggest event since Civil War. Pretty much everything is either ending or just going on hiatus while the event and its tie-ins release.
While some of those books will not return, there's no way series like Amazing Spider-Man or X-Men won't come back. The event hasn't ended yet, and Marvel has yet to spoil the after effects, so no one can really say much beyond that. Either way, it's not something to be that concerned with at this point.
Actually they spoiled at least 5 books

Well, bad luck and he's been learning the ropes of selling indie comics along with the quirks that come with it. He's mentioned how ish 2 was way under printed because it wasn't a #1 and it didn't have enough pre-orders/spots on pull lists, so a lot of people couldn't get copies and just dropped the book. Look, when I said I was thinking about Sunstone all day yesterday I meant it.

Deadpool Max.
Like.. what?
First, the art. It is beyond gorgeous, pastel tones and ren&stimpy style for days, suits deadpool cray cray to a T
Alas, the writing
David Lapham. Why yes, of course. Rape jokes, both male and female, for days, because lol.
Sigh.

Just saw Fury Road. It was amazing. It felt like something forward thinking and fresh while also feeling like a throwback movie. Not sure if that makes sense but those were the thoughts as I left the theater

Kyle Baker's the artist. Looked him up. Eight Eisners and Five Harveys to his name. I sed gawd dayumn.
...why the heck did marvel team him up with fucking lapham? smh
I actually pruned the worst of the dialogue in two of those pages >_>

wait, what, his run on plastic man as writer and author got 3 eisners in a row? wtf

Mad Max: Fury Road lives up to the hype. I don't see anything beating it for me this summer. What a movie. All the money is up there on the screen. It's up there with Dredd and The Raid as far as pure action movies go. It's amazing what a director who understands how action should be shot will do for an action movie. I hope it does well, I want to see the rumoured Furiosa-led sequel.
Also, Junkie XL's OST was REALLY good. Hyped for his half of the Batman vs. Superman OST now.
I got my hardcover of Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth on Friday. Seems like an appropriate read for tonight. And 2000 AD posted this on their Facebook a few days ago:

A fucking strange arc.
Almost done with Hickman Avengers on MU. ;_; Ordered Time Runs Out Vol. 2. I must continue!
PsychBat, were you talking about New Avengers #24 last night? Because holy shit @
Most of fucked up thing I've read so far. Jesus, Hickman.
^Read everything he tells you to, get Marvel Unlimited to do so relatively cheaply, then read the current runs of Avengers and New Avengers. Three a chronological reading order that someone post after me because they have it, surely. I recommend this because you clearly like the group (having read Civil War), but also because I was in your position three months ago, so I can relate.
Just read what Ty said. Can't recommend Hawkeye enough.

I like it myself so far, but even I'm not crazy about it. If the first arc pays off it'll still be the kind of thing that reads much better in trades than on a monthly basis.
And it's kind of a shock in that Fraction's series was designed as an antithesis to that kind of thing. I read this interview he did with the LA Times where he said that sort of thing was detrimental to comics. That if you buy a book each month, it should feel like stuff actually happens in it and you get your monies worth for it.
But I digress. I think it's OK.
Yeah, I love it.

Sale was on fire for that mini series. I'm surprised you hadn't read it before now
I've only been at this for about 4 years now, so there's some books that fell through the cracks. This book hits all the notes that I love in a comic, and I'm getting Batgirl: Year One vibes from it like you wouldn't believe.
Yeah they're both on my wishlist, though Runaways looks more appealing than Ex Machina.
Speaking of my wishlist, I just made one, compiled from the recent recommends thread... It's pretty insane what I have to catch up on, not even counting Marvel/DC stuff.
For Image alone I have this
Manhattan Projects (Jonathan Hickman)
East of West (Jonathan Hickman)
The Wicked + The Divine (Gillen)
Pretty Deadly (Kelly Sue DeConink)
Black Science (Rick Remender)
Low (Rick Remender)
Rat Queens (Kurtis J Wiebe)
Velvet (Ed Brubaker)
Fatale (Ed Brubaker)
The Fade Out (Ed Brubaker)
Lazarus (Greg Rucka)
Sex Criminals (Matt Fraction)
Spread (Justin Jordan)
Chew (John Layman)
Wytches (Scott Snyder)
Zero (Ales Kot)
Drifter (Ivan Brandon)
Stray Bullets (David Lapham)
Already reading through Saga, and Southern Bastards is next. Good thing is that most of these series are pretty new and catching up won't take that much time.
Fuck me, I missed that. Amazing.

Haha, Important News for All Readers is the call of doom for other comics.
I peddle this book on everyone I know. It's great. Top tier Sale, great Catwoman story.. it's got everything. WIR, Selina's Big Score.. those are my Catwomanz.
All of Brubakers run is incredible.
Yep. I read Brub's run more recently though so I always forget about it. It's excellent though. I miss ol' Catwoman, though apparently nu-Catwoman is good now?
Valentine's run has been really good. Nocenti's run was....special.

That arc was so sad. Combined with when he auditioned to be the nanny and it becomes kind of heartbreaking.
Hopefully but I don't want to tempt faith.
Friend is sitting beside me reading Sunstone vol 1 for the first time. I am so god damn nervous. What if he hates it
. I want to be able to talk to him about it. Maybe he will think I am a bdsm weirdo (I totally am, but that is besides the point)Tyrant Rave

It's okayish. I'm probably gonna drop it honestly. I'd only recommend it if you really like Clint and Kate, and even then it's just okay. The banter is good but I'm not sure about the story and the flashback contains some really awful dialogue.
And thanks for the love Inorigo <3
Not only is this series over with the Rockets winning, but the Warriors beat the Rockets in six for the next series. Not sure who the champs are though.

You still loan out comics after the last ones were destroyed? You're a glass half full person aren't you?Hopefully but I don't want to tempt faith.

I hope this is sarcasm because the logic leaps to that conclusion are astounding
Nah, he is sitting beside me.
He has been quiet for quite a while :|
Edit: he just told me there is some fucked up shit in this book and I asked him what so he showed me a picture of bound and gagged Lisa. Said its not for him.
well this sucks. Now I feel like a weirdo.Hopefully but I don't want to tempt faith.

I don't have very many friends or family members who are into comics, so luckily for me, no one ever borrows from me. I mean, my girlfriend has read Fables but that's the extent of her comics reading and the friends I do have that read comics, they buy their own. I'm always afraid of what condition my items may be when I get them back, even if I was sitting next to them.
I don't buy many variant covers above cover price but I had to make an exception for the one Paolo River did recently on Batman: Arkham Knight #3:
-
Rocket Raccoon #11
Part of me is glad that Rocket Raccoon will be ending after Secret Wars. It wasn't bad but just wasn't interesting enough for me to keep buying it month-to-month. I keep forgetting to tell my LCS to take it off my pull list, oh well. This issue does wrap up some events in an abrupt manner but I like how it ties it back to the first issue.
Also, Jake Parker's art seems to become a bit sparse with each issue when he came on board when he took over Skottie's art duties.

FCBD 2015 - TMNT Prelude to Vengeance
I haven't been interested in TMNT comics but this FCBD issue has turned that around. It looks like it covers a lot of major events that has happened in TMNT comics' history. Having only been exposed to the '87 TV series and the toys that followed it thereafter, I didn't know the comics can be so...non-kid friendly. I guess it's very much like Transformers where bleeding, death, and the emotional toll some of these characters go through is pretty damn deep.
I really like Shredder's design. Never knew he can look so menacing.

It's okay. Your next step is knocking him out, tying him up, and beating him and forcing him to read Sunstone until he likes it.
I don't like 50 shades of grey

There's no sex in violence
No prob bro <3
And yeah, agreed on ANH. I really think this first arc will be better as a trade and that's assuming it even goes anywhere. First two parts really feel like re-treads. And a delay at only the third issue is a bad sign.
