YES. It's like that with all of the library editions. They're the best value in the GAME.
This is all of the LEs I have right now, but I also plan on Fear Agent Vol 2, Kabuki Vol 2, and the Hellboy LEs. Plus all of the Kabukis and The Goons in the future, The Massive, Termainal City, etc.
Yeah might as well. If the GC omnibus is $49.99 I'll need the extra book for that free shipping
Glad you enjoyed it. Was it what you expected?
Those are all on my wish list. But I gotta finish my usagi collection first

Just catching up on comics from last week. I absolutely love Squirrel Girl.
The Goon is now one of my favorite series ever, and I hadn't even heard of it until the LE came out.

Yeah, it was amazing last week
Inoffensive star wars filler with nice art.
Lets see if I can do this without accidentally spoiling something again >_>
Extraordinary X-Men #1 - loved it, this book is what I imagine in my head as a "x-men book" if that makes sense. I love the roster, the art is fantastic (Ramos's best work in ages?), the premise for the book is cool and ties with the inhuman books, and just overall it feels..."right". I cant explain it, hopefully other x-men fanboys get what I mean.
Hercules #1 - this was actually pretty good. Fun book, fun idea for Hercules in a modern setting, good art, no complaints here. I bet it bombed hard and its already canceled tho.
Deadpool #1 - this was good aswell. Duggan continues to write tye best Deadpool, and in this casebthe most subdued Deadpool in years, as he barely cracks any jokes and just acts normal for the most part. It explores Deadpool being rich and popular now and funding the Avengers (as seen on Uncanny Avengers) and also his merc "heroes fornhire" side project. Nice introduction to the new series, just not very funny so far.
Amazing Spider-Man #3 - weakest issue yet in my opinion, as the whole Johnny being mad at Peter buying the Baxter Building didn't really work for me, nor did Zodiac's attack. In fact the villains have been the worst part of the book so far and this was very focused on them. Still enjoyable and the art is still fantastic, just not on the level of the first 2 issues for me.
Invincible Iron-Man #3 - This on the other hand was fantastic, as Tony gets his butt whooped by Madam Masque, has a great dialogue with his girlfriend-to-be scientist lady (Bendis was always great at these Kevin Smith-like dialogues) and then a even better scene with Dr.Strange (the now famous high give scene). Art continues to be great aswell. Still shocked at how good this book is. Oh and speaking of the good doctor...
Doctor Strange #2 - this book is what comic books are all about for me. Already one of my favorite books in years, the crazyness continues as Stephen helps the young lady and her mind parasite problem, we get an awesome tour of the sanctum sanctorum ("Don't talk to the snakes"), Wong has a nice scene and there's a bit more of these magic hunters arc info. Bachalo continues to be on fire and this book lets him go even mote nuts than he usually does with page layouts. Love it.

Those Goon Library Editions are tempting me. I really don't know what to order this week.
Hahaha. I'll get to it soon enough. Need to finish GL Geoff Johns Vol 1 omnibus first at the least. Maybe I'll read it right after that.

CMX DC sale this week is plastic man. So Kyle bakers run is back on sale. Which is cool. So is a random sampling of various JLA issues. I could have swarn Kelly had him in more issues as a team member. But he was fun being on the team when he did.

I've only read Vader and the C-3PO one-shot. The former is really good and the latter was...it's something.
Also this.

It's a comic book, it's always too much. I'm going to ask for next week's Raw to be good because i think anything is possible.

Here's what should be released today:
There's also other stuff but these are the new books
Fuck. Are you saying #1 was Raw tier? :/
Edit: oh contest of champions #2 is on MU? Thanks for the heads up.
Edit: wait I already read this last month, they added #1 and #2 at the same time (accidentally?), I thought you meant #3

Why do I get the impression that sillymonkey will never be happy?
No, i was just hoping for something that's not going to happen. I haven't read the new Thunderbolts ( is that out?), it was just a standard "comics were a mistake" post.

Was not really expecting anything at all beyond love story with BDSM. Pretty much delivered on that.

Ah so that's what happened, I was using old release archives to follow what MU should be putting out weekly.
Probably not too dependable.

Yeah, it was a S1 thing right? I don't think they did in S2.

It's part of the persona she adopts to help her adjust to life on Earth and act human. In S2 she is
older, more confident and more experienced on Earth,

Exams are really eating my comic time. Even as I continue to buy more comics.
How much would some of that Burnham Nameless art set me back? Loved his work in that.

Star Wars is fine, as other people have said it's inoffensive without being especially inspiring. Pretty though.
Vader is genuinely pretty good, mostly due to the supporting cast it introduces.

Before reading New Avengers #17 it was recommended that I read Avengers #28 first, so I thought why not and started the latter from the beginning.
Hats off to Jonathan Hickman and all of the contributing artists. This Avengers run is bloody brilliant.
I'm like halfway through the Infinity crossover arc right now and ugh.
So fucking good.
The amount of planning it must have taken to create such amazing narratives across two series...
Oh and my copy of Wonder Woman Earth One finally arrived too. Also loved it, but I prefer George Perez' origin story more. It's nice that Wonder Woman swings both ways though. Bisexual queen of DC <3

Avengers Standoff: So...someone read or watched Wayward Pines? That's all I could think while reading the first issue.
The art in Invincible Iron man is tripping me up a bit also just because I can't help but think Tony is drawn to look so much like Britt from Terriers.
