Straight from DC's website:

Eisner Award-winning author Greg Rucka’s critically acclaimed run writing the Amazon Warrior is collected in its entirety, beginning in WONDER WOMAN BY GREG RUCKA VOL. 1!

When Diana writes a book that shares her beliefs, it ignites a firestorm of controversy—and even gets the attention of the Olympian gods! Now Wonder Woman faces her most personal battle yet as she confronts attacks on all levels, from Veronica Cale to Dr. Psycho to Silver Swan and even the War God Ares himself! Collects WONDER WOMAN #195-205 and the original graphic novel WONDER WOMAN: THE HIKETEIA.

Awesome to see hiketeia collected i will be oreering it soon

 

[whatsinaname]

Well, done with Avengers and New Avengers. The series don't really have a clean ending at all, do they. Have to start on Secret Wars and Tie-Ins now.

I decided to snag that Garth Ennis humble bundle $1 tier to read some of the volumes in the next couple days, and then decided whether I wanted the bigger tiers.

Unfortunately, I downloaded the CBZ files, placed them on my tablet's micro SD like all of my other CBZs, yet get a red error symbol on them in Comic Rack, and just a blank screen in Challenger Comic Viewer.

Anyone else run in to something like this or know how to fix it?

I've seen this problem with a few other humble bundles before. Can you open the .cbz file in 7zip or some other program like that and see if there is an "__MACOSX" folder in there? Delete that and see if it works. (.cbz and .cbr files are just renamed .zip and .rar files)

 

[Tizoc]

^EDIT: Or that yeah the MACOSX thing is there likely for MAC users and some software glitch out cuz of it.

I personally prefer using Comic Zeal app it runs both CBR and CBZ.
Also The Boys has a volume wherein Garth Ennis kills off the X-Men.

I actually decided to do this already because a google search said to look for odd symbols in filenames. I opened it in winrar on my pc and tried to delete the __MACOSX folder, but received a permission error.

EDIT: I was opening the .cbz from my tablet via usb instead of from the PC hard drive copy. That seemed to work.

 

[whatsinaname]

Holy shit, Secret Wars and tie ins are about 200+ issues? Yeah, I am not going to start on that right now. Will wait till everything is on MU later in the year.

Have you tried extracting the contents, deleting the MACOSX folder and then recreating a new zip file with the main folder and renaming that to .cbz?

Just read Secret Wars, its enough

If Humble packages their CBZs in a way that makes me do that for every single volume of their large comic bundles, I feel like the pirates are winning right now

 

[Messi]

I made $500 in one night! Time to blow it all on comics and steam games I will never read or play!

After reading ANAD New Avengers #1 and thinking comics were a mistake, i went back to Rachel Rising with more volume 2 reading. Things might be getting too weird, but it's still great.

You can easily skip all the tie ins. Just read the main series and you'll be fine. The closest tie in I think to the main book might be Thors. The rest either have minor mentions but the vast majority have nothing to do with the main story.

 

[Kipp]

Oh my goodness... Just finished "The Old Dog" arc of Hitman...
Absolutely incredible.
Hard to believe that that isn't the end of the series, to be honest.

But wow. Gut-wrenching.

Also, that two-page spread of the wedding scene. Incredible.

Secret Wars tie-ins have nothing to do with the main book. Secret Wars was an excuse for writers to basically write whatever elseworlds mini they want. Pick up a tie-in if it seems interesting to you and for no other reason.

Secret Wars was the ending. You don't need the tie ins they were an excuse to write minis.

I kind of want to read all of the battleworld and warzone minis , to see how "experimental" the various writers got when they knew the slate was being wiped clean.

Secret Wars #8 and #9 are still not on MU yet. Maybe I'll make my way through the tie-ins at a slower pace. #9 won't be up till sometime in July I think.

Hellboy

Baba Yaga's arc, man. From just a general enemy to I WANT TO SHIT ON EVERYTHING HE EVER TOUCHED, and then back to the empty realization that he simply is way above her, who is now reduced to just an old, freaky af granny.

Best thing is how the guys around her clearly see the whole thing happening, know it can only end badly, and go along with it because predestination, yo.

Yeah. Ennis is one of the best, if not the best, war comics writers in the biz. Nearly every time he goes out of his way to write about soldiers, he shines.

 

[Zombine]

Its too bad that he works with absolute shit tier artists.

 

[Coriolanus]

is a metacommentary on the beauty of war.

 

[Tizoc]

Mignola's writing style in the early hellboy stories/TPBs feels really 90s/80s.
Like you'd have a page filled with exposition in the first story arc (Seed of Destruction), but after Conqueror Worm, everybody else around Hellboy talks way more than he does, as evidenced here

Yeah there are some great tie ins like - A Force, Angela and Siege.

To be fair, he was being characterized as both depressed and drunk at the time.

Ok.
Artist should decide if he wants 4 or 5 buttons on that thing in mag's chest. He should also choose a fixture point for the cape and maintain it. He should also try not to draw three considerably different helmets in the same page. Like, seriously. First is longer. Second is way shorter. Third has a considerably wider opening. Also decide if you want your vambraces to have 3 or 6 ridges.

 

[whatsinaname]

Is what i keep telling people.

Now that I've finished reading everything, I think I can say every character other than Namor acted like an utter and complete idiot. Black Panther. Reed Richards. Captain America. Everyone. What was their noble self-sacrifice achieving other than stroking their Ego. At the minimum, they could have let the Builders or the Shi'ar have their own go at saving themselves. But nooo. We won't do anything. We won't let anyone else do anything.

Hell even when he was sober and cheerful he'd rather not hear all that bs :V

Well, yeah. That was the whole point of his arc: he who was known for his pride was the first to cast it away when asked.

Even the allying with thanos bit, which he usually gets flak for, makes sense since after errybody gave up, he was the one that came back to the base to get some nega bombs aaaand then most likely ran straight into what maximus had done.

but i like that rogers was such an asshole that he tried to go at terrax with a cane at the UN floor.

John Byrne wrote Seed. Mignola took over after that.

Any one know if they're reprinting Uncanny X -men omnibus volume 2?

I went into reading this run after having a read a few of the big spoilers and peoples reactions to them. So I had a rather different set of expectations about Namor's character arc going in. Pleasantly surprised with how well it was done.

October 2016 I think.

 

[Misha]

Lots of writers like to retell the origin in flashback or put their own spin on it, but generally new runs do not mean hard resets.

Try Wonder Woman 195 by Greg Rucka. If you like it, well good news he wrote the book for three years (his last issue was 226) and it's all great. And if you are still digging it, I have even more good news because Rucka's back on the book in a month or something like that, so you'll have that to look forward to, too.

And yes that whole run is available digitally. You'll find it under Wonder Woman (1987-2006).

Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka is IMO my favorite run ever. The only downside is the end of his run gets pulled into a number of events. But! Rucka is coming back to the character as part of Rebirth which is awesome news.

It's available digitally on comixology
https://www.comixology.com/Wonder-Woman-1987-2006-195/digital-comic/71196?ref=c2l0ZS9saXN0L2Rlc2t0b3AvZ3JpZExpc3QvSXNzdWVz

Another run that is older and highly regarded is Perez's run. I own it but haven't read it yet. Though I know some on the board have

https://www.comixology.com/Wonder-Woman-1987-2006-1/digital-comic/2692?ref=c2VyaWVzL3ZpZXcvZGVza3RvcC9ncmlkTGlzdC9Jc3N1ZXM

Oh I agree. It's still the definitive run for me. And I don't really mind some of the later crossover tie ins.

I wish Comixology/DC would add Wonder Woman Hiketeia by Greg Rucka and JG Jones.

This is a standalone graphic novel starring Batman and Wonder Woman. It's actually the first main thing Rucka wrote of WW and then he went on to the main WW series. It's really great. Hope a reprint shows up so a CMX arrives.

I was recommended rucka but for some reason I was under the impression that his stuff wasn't online. This is why I ask

Ive never really enjoyed events from what I've seen. Just too much to keep track of and I'm looking to read about that specific character so its annoying that they aren't really the focus anymore. At least its at the end of the run

Hiketeia does sound like the most interesting but its way to expensive if I don't know if id like it. I'll start with his other stuff then and if I love it ill pick that up

thanks
