I'm sorry, I don't keep images of those :/
I chose the image of Takane on the left because she looks really happy and it will make you feel better after seeing some of the violent acts in Stray Bullets. Ritsuko is there because she has guns and guns = bullets
I think Spike should let you make the banners for these threads going forward.

my b
I've started it, stopped on issue 10. Don't ask me why I stopped, it's amazing.
In fact that's something I need to stop doing, starting old series and then stopping, when I get back to them I can't remember it at all.
It's not so bad with x-factor since I read a few, but off the top of my head, series where I read the first issue only:
Agent Venom, Avengers Academy, Kevin Smith Daredevil, Mighty Avengers (2007 not the current), Kid Nova.
Now when I go back to them I might aswell just read the first issue again but fuck me if I remember any of those

Hah, I'm not entirely crazy, thanks.
I feel a bit dumb writing that but out of the three, Zero seems the least approachable. Not that any issue is hard to understand by itself, but the way the book changes trajectories every now and then, it seems almost necessary to reread everything from the beginning, just to shed on a new light on it and have a better grasp of the whole picture.
This is amazing.here's your banner

What's wrong with it? I explained the deeper themes behind my image choices and they definitely fit in with the tone of the comic
And i saw it but can't remember where. Fem Thor #1 maybe?
Your logic is sound. Great job.

Anyone else reading Rumble? I really love this series, the art is fantastic and the fights have real heft to them. Great monster designs and some great character moments/laughs. First arc just ended and the trade is out in June. Some of you should give it a go.

Thors arm was cut off in Thor #1 (the current run)

Yeah, that's where it happened.
I decided to pick up some super hero comics for the first time in many years. I went with Convergence #0 and #1, Amazing Spider-Man #16, and Avengers #44 (or #43?).
I have no clue what's going on in the Marvel U any longer. I couldn't connect to any of the various elseworlds at play in the Avengers. I'm going to have to stop here on this one.
The writing in Convergence #0 was pretty shoddy, and I thought the art was just miserable. Basic technical issues. Flat, bland, and uninspired. I had to power through it. And though the story remained hokey in #1 the writing was better and the art miles above. I'll probably go back and pick up the next few issues in this. The idea of different eras of DC heroes fighting each other sounds like it might be fun.
I haven't read Spider-Man yet. Oh, I forgot I also picked up Convergence Speed Force #1 and #2 because I noticed it was Wally West. The last time I read super hero books he was The Flash, so it was familiar. I haven't read these yet either.

Convergence is a pretty mixed bag. Some of it's great, some of it's miserable. You can tell it's DC burning time.

That's obviously what happens, but no they did not, if you want to get technical about it (and I do). He raises the axe, quips about arms, then it cuts away. I've checked twice now. ;P
edit: Oh silly me. I thought you were responding to this post further along the conversation.
edit 2: well, I suppose my point still stands
Where are these from? Why don't I remember this?
I thought JC was better than joke stealing. Disgraceful behavior.

We read all comics and graphic novels. What would you like help with?
Super quick thoughts on some random books:
Rocket Racoon #5 - super cute story all done in "groot speech". Scottie Young only does a few pages but the other artist is actually quite good also (even if he is just trying to emulate Young)
All New X-Factor #15-16: Axis tie ins so they are kinda forgetable, some nice scenes with Snow's wife in #16 and like I said earlier, the Longshot cliffhanger. And the art continues to be fantastic, put this man on a bigger book.
X-Men #21 - the secret best X book that nobody cares about continues to be a ton of fun as the ladies space adventure continues. Brand is my waifu.
Deadpool Classics Killustrated #3-4 - Slightly better than Deadpool kills the MU but I still don't like evil, actually homicidal Deadpool... it's kinda creepy really.
Captain Marvel #9 - love this book, and speaking of blasts from the past, Lila Chaney is in this, talk about random.

I don't know what to read next. I don't want to read a superhero book immediately, because I'll keep comparing it to Starman. Maybe I'll read Adele Blanc-Sec.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I am making my own graphic novel and am looking for feedback on the story. I don't want to reveal the whole thing online so I figured I'd check if anyone is interested in signing an NDA and reading it. It would involve a bit of reading text as not all the pages are drawn yet.
To briefly describe it, it is a horror story for children (and adults I hope!). Here's a sample of the art: http://i2.minus.com/iqPSEEAs4k060.jpg
Totally understand if this is best asked in a different thread, I can remove this if so. If you'd like to read it just send me a PM though!
So you've made... five dollars?
Woah that's awesome.
