Damn. Spent $58.

Didn't expect to see the Age of Ultron TPB when I went in to pick up my books today and when I got home, I see they left a notice that my Chew Vol. 5, 7 and 8 are waiting for me at the post office.

Just reading at work isn't going to cut it. Need to buy a lamp for my living room after work.

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Wow. Ultimate end was terrible. Which spiderman is in the ultimate world?

We talking Ultimatum 2.0 terrible?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

My sole problem with spiderverse is it's damn ugly.

I'm kinda at the point where like what do people expect when Marvel is throwing out more books than my ass collects lint in a day?

 

[zennyzz]

I suddenly feel judged.



what? there are loads of different artists on it. You calling Copiel ugly brah?

talking about Secret Wars Spiderverse.

Which is done by Araujo

 

[Tyrant Rave]

This might seem weird, but she has a passing familiarity with the people in this thread.

I really like her Sex Crims blog, congrats again dude!

Ah I thought you meant the event. My bad. I just got the hardcover today and it is wonderful.

I was about to say something The art is great in the Event.

Now if only the event's writing matched the art.

 

[Tizoc]

So apparently a collection of THIS
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0316006688/?tag=neogaf0e-20

iS BEing sold for near USD $200 over at a Borders shop.
I hate it when books are overpriced here =_=

Hm. I expect nothing more than stupid fanservice which delivers tons of Fanboy joy for me.

I wonder what title each of us has lol

 

[Tizoc]

Wait Amazon states that set contains 21 books along with some artbooks of the series? There are 23 books with one finish after Herge's passing; aren't the rest actually in that collection?

Anyone have it and can provide feedback please?

 

[twozerotwo]

Just in case you or anyone else missed it, you may own a chog http://www.skeltoncrewstudio.bigcartel.com/category/chew (the pink one is on sale)

and second of all, digital future!

Thanks for that link. I don't know what a chog is yet but if at least I'll know where to get a plush of one if I'm so inclined later on.

"Before comics i never needed light"

Hahahah. I've been meaning to buy one since I moved out on my own but I've put it off. You know, comics and vinyl and all that come first.

I really like her Sex Crims blog, congrats again dude!

What can I say? I bought the True Believers issue and the last image of

Spoiler

Cap looking spiritually broken on the floor

sold me on it.

 

[TetraxShards]

I want a group shot of our avatars with all our titles underneath, like the ones on Tumblr when people ask their mam to name all the characters from Smash Bros or something.

That's a good thought, Catwoman.

Too much work

:/

It's not bad!

 

[zennyzz]

Planet Hulk was also great

This is in one of the reviews:

It's also a shame that 3 Tintin adventures were left out of this collection: "Tintin in the Congo", "Land of the Soviets" and the unfinished "Alph Art." Political over-correctness from a vocal minority wins out (apparently "Congo" isn't meant to be read by impressionable young children OR the adults buying this set) and instead we have Michael Farr's "Tintin and Co." - not a total loss but I would rather have the 3 stories which I've never read.

They also seem to indicate that the pages (or at least the text?) are on the smaller side, which seems correct based on the listed dimensions.

 

[Squire]

As fauxtrot said, Copra is really great. Other than that I really love Sex Criminals.

Nice. Picked up Deadly Class Vol. 1 for now. Hope I'm into it. I really dig Remender.

 

[zennyzz]

Anybody read battleworld?

Wanna know if it's worth a read

Soviets kinda has nothing to do with what you know as Tintin, despite being from the same artist with the same character, Alph'Art is literally left unfinished, and Congo is a toxic piece of shit that no one should read ever -don't worry, there's still plenty of early 20th century colonialist racism, and some antisemitism thrown in for good measure-.

 

[Rrongfield]

Two wacky short stories with MODOK and Punisher the Soldier Supreme.
I liked it quite a bit.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Does someone here need a code for Secret Wars #1? Will get my Issue in a couple of days and since I got the code yet, I would give it away

 

[rrc1594]

Question Gaf I got into DC when the New 52 happened, is the Secret Wars a good time to jump into Marvel. I only been keeping up with Spider-Man. Now I'm confused, because are they ending the Amazing Spider-Man comics and WTF is Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows.

I read that Herge apologized for that comic, the times being what they were, his other Tintin books are still stellar though.

Actually I plan on someday building up a Belgin+French comic collection, atm I have in mind

Tintin
Asterix
Lucky Luke
Spirou and Fantazio
Iznogoud
Thorgal (only have Vol. 1 and 2 though)

Any other series worth picking up?

The one thing we know for sure is that people think frye is the chillest

Nice. Picked up Deadly Class Vol. 1 for now. Hope I'm into it. I really dig Remender.

You'll totally love it. Black Science and Low are good too but I think Deadly Class is just a perfect marriage between his writing and the incredibly stylish artwork.

They will continue Amazing Spider-Man after Secret Wars and Renew Your Vowes is a Tie-In with a take on a alternate Peter Parker.

Okay. Thank You

 

[ElNarez]

I mean they're technically superb, but, iirc, every chinese character in the Blue Lotus speaks with Ls where Rs would be, the villain in The Shooting Star is literally a jewish banker, in all the ugliness of that caricature, and there's plenty more.

Don't buy that. The text is almost unreadable. It is unfortunate we don't get good Asterix/Tintin collections in English.

Will send you the PM ASAP

Marriage is for suckers... but congrats, I guess

[WadiumArcadium]

That Hyperion Thor bromance. Valhalla awaits.

 

[KoruptData]

Very nice! Looks like a great room to be in.
Sweet lava lamp lamp by the way. Haha

Thanks! I went to buy a lamp for the room and they either looked terrible or were too expensive. Lava lamp wins again.

Love it dude!!! Nice job

Thank you!

Lol Bloom,, that makes a lot more sense



Nooiceee
That batman piece your wife did is amazing man.
I Know you've probably said this but what kind of frames are those?

Makes me want to take a video of my ComicCave/BatCave.. finally starting to get it situated .

I think they are called BCW Frames. Thanks!

Very nice, so jealous of all the space you have.

All my HC/TPB's are is still confined to one KALLAX shelf and I started double shelving.

:/

Thank you!

Just realized I posted this in the wrong comics thread. If an image is in a link, it's a spoiler.

Ultimate End #1: I was sold a bill of goods!

Spoiler

I expected this to be about the end of the Ultimate Universe, instead it's about a weird amalgam of the 616 and Ultimate Universes that have been occupying Manhattan together.

Offers more questions than answers. Great moments with 616 Spider-Man dealing with Ultimate Universe ramifications.

A-Force #1: I like the idea, but this was all set-up I guess? It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Odd point for me, why is She-Hulk the leader of Arcadia? Miss America is still a boss.

Spoiler

Also, Miss America x Lady Loki is my new power couple.

Image Jorge Molina remains one of my favorite artists though.

Spider-Verse #1: Various Spider-People -

Spoiler

Spider-Gwen, Spider-Girl (Anya), Spider-UK, Spider-Man India, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, collectively called The Sinister Six in-issue

- are trapped in a world controlled by Norman Osborn. Where does this take place? I assume Manhattan? Crowded place in Battleworld. Still not a fan of Andre Araujo's work.

Uncanny X-Men #35: This issue deals with what happens to Cyclops' X-Men-in-training now that their leader is gone. And the lingering issue of Mystique and SHIELD. Pretty psyched about their potential future as Bendis never really got a chance to dig into these characters. Also, I admit, I'm loving new Dazzler. Great friggin' issue.

Battleworld #1: The Punisher possessed by Dr. Strange.

Multiverse MODOKs.

Magical.

Convergence #7: The New 52 gets a taste of the multiverse. Otherwise, all things go to hell, but I still don't care. If Telos (planet) stays around after this event, I'd be down with that status quo.

Convergence Minis:

Flash #2 - This issue-long conversation between Tangent Superman and Barry was great stuff.
Superboy and The Legion #2 - I love the Legion and seeing Superboy be a real hero is always a treat. i miss the Legion. Any Legion.

 

[Mudcrab]

Just realized I posted this in the wrong comics thread.

I was wondering about that. I thought you making fun of Secret Wars and Convergence similarities.

 

[MHWilliams]

I was wondering about that. I thought you making fun of Secret Wars and Convergence similarities.

They are pretty similar. Nah, I just opened a new reply, did some work, came back, and assumed I was replying to the Comic community thread.

 

[zennyzz]

Uncanny X-men #34:

Spoiler

A Cuckoo led team of mutants not tied up in the whole X-anything thing would be pretty awesome

 

[GrandHarrier]

Superboy and The Legion #2 - I love the Legion and seeing Superboy be a real hero is always a treat. i miss the Legion. Any Legion.

How was the art change? I was disappointed to hear the artist from the first had scheduling issues that stopped him from doing the second.

Not great. The art is just there. Better than Spiderverse #1.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

What if you are meeting someone from the Internet for the first time, who you like as hell when you are messaging, but you think the other person is unsympathic when meet in Person? Or you dont like each other then.

I am so afraid right now...

 

[Owzers]

Power Girl : Aliens and Apes tb vol 2 - I liked it more than the first volume because I knew what to expect, a standard cape book but with great art and some charm. Power Girl's day job is still incredibly dull and exists to break up the action, but that action is always decent.

Cavs/Hawks tonight, Cavs got this?
