The two week wait for dcbs to send me Secret Wars.....
Don't worry, after I read it I'll tell you all about it.
Well yeah, Shazam was fucking awesome.
O______O inevitable.
You guys have to stop buying digitally, go to the stores and get your marvel books, then swap codes with me for events. It's win-win. Volunteers?

Midnighter preview was actually pretty damn cool. Reminds me of Grayson in a good way.
I hope people actually buy Midnighter, I want that book to stick around for awhile.
Will you be picking it up? I can't wait.
So yeah, Secret Wars was awesome. I didn't realize though after all this time of reading everything that's happened in Avengers/NA how much I came to agree with Cap about most of these so called 'heroes' until

Reed and co are lifeboating away while Everything Dies. I was like 'fuck these guys'.

Hear, hear. I tried to get into Hickman's stuff on MU, just didn't click.

Starfire Preview was really cute. I especially love that one of her enemies from Red Hood and the Outlaws,
, was one of the people she was asking for advice from. That's a Starfire thing to do. They've definitely given her back her wordplay mannerisms that she was lacking in RHATO.

Grayson-related comics are just a great idea. Dickworld is like the one untainted aspect of the DCU right now.
I don't even need to read SW to know this is always true

Prez Preview was...
Uh...
Yeah, I think that's being taken off the list.
That read like 4chan or reddit fan fiction.

I'll give the series a shot. Wasn't sold on it before but the preview was good.
Of course, friend. Conner/Palmiotti for life.
I haven't read any of Red Hood and the Outlaws but I really liked this. They made her feel confident and naive at the same time and it works really well. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun seeing her trying to get used to Florida. The dialogue with the other DC characters in the beginning was really great.
I also got the previews for Prez and Section Eight, I'll check em out later.

It's about a teenager being elected President. Did you expect high literature?

If he was right, they'd have all died like two years ago. So yeah, he was as right as that time with Cyclops.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more Cap was actually wrong.
They survived. And unless the Beyonders or Doom prove other wise, Cap and his pride/ego sure as hell isn't.

I'm kinda with ya
I mean I'll probably pick it up but I was blasting through his stuff on MU until I finished Infinity which I thought the ending was dumb and bad and stupid and bad (I didn't like it)
Haven't read any issues of either Avengers or New Avengers since then because of that stupid event
Think fun little initiative by DC

By they, you mean like 5 people? out of a whole universe? lol He may not have been right but I wouldn't be applauding anyone else yet either.
Midnighter seems fun can't say I've read much Authority but I think I'll pick this up when it comes out.
Well, yeah... 'they' survived.
or I guess some of them did anyway?

Guys, what is the Marvel Unlimited code for the free month right now? Feel like giving it a go.

That Secret Wars print version is the best single comic they have put out build wise. Thick cover and thick paper.
It's nice to see one Wildstorm character survive the disaster N52 Stormwatch was. On a personal level it helps that it's Midnighter, who I love in those old Stormwatch and Authority comics. I also got a kick out of his one night stand being named Warren, that had to be an intentional homage.

ULTRON I think.
I can agree with that, the point of a no-win scenario is that everyone trying to win is wrong about it. No matter what you do, you will lose. Cap was still utterly wrong and useless about it all.
Technically, the only one who was right was
Tony, as he knew from the beginning they couldn't win.

So like, I don't get Omega Men.

to get me to read it? Nah, I think I'm good. Hope you're cancelled in 8 issues.

So should most decent FLCS have a bunch of copys of something like SW#1? I think I am going to buy the mainline SW books as they come out (I swore I would never buy floppy books but fuck it, I gotta go up there to get the new Rat Queens TPB anyway.) I don't really want to start a pullbox for 8 issues of one book but also don't really know if places usually get a limited amount of this stuff.
I'm not hip to the goings on in DC spaceland post Johns but having someone
seemingly rip off Kyles head after telling Carol to put the oven on because he'll be home soon
I don't even know what is going on with trench coat Hal.

Hot damn that is gorgeous.
I almost want to have a print copy of this but I'm not sure what I'd do with it
Punisher would be cool. I'll support the book by stealing your code.

Just read Descender 3 and it was another good chapter in whats fast becoming a new favorite of mine. They're doing a great job of building a lot of mystery around Tim-21. I probably liked Issue 2 a bit better since it developed so much for Tim's character. A lot of interesting seeds continue to be planted
and there's a sense for some method to the madness. Hopefully it continues to pan out well and, as always, I'm continually blown away by the art.
(wondering whats up with that ethereal scrapped robot purgatory)
If I could get Secret Wars, I'd be very greatful. c:
