I like it a lot as well. Joe Mad's issues are pretty awesome.

Truth. Had some cool moments. I really liked the plot.

We're talking about the same thing, right?

 

[ElNarez]

Man DC has me in boycott mode with what they just did to Aquaman. I was all happy and shit reading those previews and pre-ordering their new books.....they just killed all of that. I'm #TeamMarvel now.

calm down it's okay

that sacrifice means we get Prez and Bizarro and Black Canary and Constantine and Omega Men and Section Eight -okay except the inevitable Bueno Excellente parts- and We Are Robin and all the good stuff that was already there

it's a worthy sacrifice

Secret Wars. It takes place in a domain same as any other tie-in.

damn it's true

(for real tho -- actually being interested in the dc comics line outside of weird flukes?! that hasn't happened in.... 3 years and 8 months!)

huh, that both makes sense, and equally does not make sense.

Inhuman is underrated as hell. Especially when it stopped being about Dante and started being about Medusa and shit (which happens quite fast (

 

[zennyzz]

Wait, there's a new Prez comic?

QUE?!

Where you been? One of the new books DC is launching post Convergence. There's a preview up on Comixology already.

Yo dude frreal. The SIXIS tie-in wasn't bad either.

Not sure how I felt about that prez preview.

Some cringeworthy aspects, but also some very nice ones.

What's your take on if? What keeps bringing you back? I think the art is wonderful most of the time, but it has dragged on without a doubt. Also kinda bored with the mandatory number of sex panels the book seems to rely on.

*shrugs* The sense of anticipation, coupled with the challenge of trying to figure out these characters and what Casey is driving at, I guess. The book feels... enigmatic; I don't know how else to say it. Take today's issue for example: Casey just

Spoiler

brought the superhuman/supernatural into a series that has thus far played it completely straight with the rules of its world, by introducing a goth girl who literally drains men dry.

I mean, where did that come from?!? So many characters and angles to keep track of, and while this is a world of costumed vigilantes it all plays out as real and even mundane. I'd be lying if I said that I haven't found myself wondering why I keep coming back, but I do and the artwork is clean, the colors are appropriately lurid, and the concept is unlike practically anything else on the shelves today.

It's (virgin?) Batman, retired young enough to appreciate life but completely clueless on how to go about getting on with it, surrounded by characters who to varying degrees do.

Annihilation: Super Skrull is...not what I expected. Only read 2 of 4 so far tho

 

[BrightLightLava]

Just finished Superior Foes.

That book is so dang delightful.

Didn't see Black Cat coming, not sure how that fits in with her Kingpin stuff.

Loved this running gag:

Aquaman shouldn't have had to die so that Bat Mite could live, damn it!

 

[mreddie]

All New Hawkeye: Yeah, I'm done.

 

[Rhaknar]

Annihilation: Super Skrull #1-4 was...OK. Nothing special, but not terrible by any means. I'm a sucker for anti-heroes.

Neither do I?

Referring to The Unspoken?

 

[KoruptData]

Things I have read.

Cyborg preview. Was pretty good. Can't go too much off 8 pages but I'm excited for this book.

Constantine preview. That was really good actually. Hopefully DC allows them to go pretty dark with this.

Converge Shazam #2. Just as good as the first. Team is top notch. I really liked Doc Shaners Joker.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Moving soon so it's time to read through all my trades I've got lying around so I can pack them up. I have this thing where I don't want to pack anything I haven't read.

You are not supposed to speak about them.

I don't know what i'm referring to since i'm only on issue #3 and that's where they talked about it.

See it this way: One More Day gave us Brand New Day.

This is giving us a shitton more. DC Wins Again.

Yeah you're not not reading that properly most likely since there's nothing of the sort in Inhumans.

If you are referring to The Unspoken, it's merely a title of a person, not indicative of anything

Hey. Call them like I see them. A lot of those lead in minis were ok at best. But the main event was great.

And Martian man Hunter is the bees knees =)

semi-quotes "[black bolt released the terrigen mists] because something's coming, something that's been gone for a long, long time. When it gets here the only way the inhumans survive is if there are enough of us to fight and if we have the skills we'll need. Traits we used to have that have been lost over generations. We need those back. We need to find those talents again, or we're all dead. The whole planet's dead, probably"

that's pretty straightforward set-up and ends the fighting in the issue.

That's because Black Bolt released as part of Thanos showing up at Attilan in an earlier story, I believe.

I'd assumed that line was referring to The Unspoken. A lot of other stuff happens later on, so it's never expressed exactly what it is, but I'd just assumed The Unspoken.

It's so monotonous. So pointless and the flashbacks get in the way of the main story. It's really pointless.

Got my Midtown Comics box from last week's releases. Just placed another order of Skottie Young covers for today's and next week's releases. I should really go through my comics and see which ones I'm missing.
