Well that's a shame. It was my impression there were going to be more of these contained stories in the Manhattan Projects universe, too.

Have you seen those Pitarra TMNT pages hes been doing?
This makes me sad
That was definitely the original plan, but for the foreseeable future, it's dead.
Yep! He also did an interlocking variant cover for all 5 issues in that miniseries. I dunno who else is working on it, but him and Ryan Browne both did issues for it, which means I buy will them.
I read all of Wytches last night. Holy shit was it good. Creepy as hell and surprisingly heartfelt. Crazy art, too. This is the first Scott Snyder thing I've enjoyed. Although I'm re-reading Court of Owls and it's better than I remember.
Why has it been a year since the last issue? Snyder talks about the second arc in the back of issue six.
What else should I read by him?

Gooooood question. I'm dying to read more Wytches. Maybe it will be back in the fall.
I thought he said it was gonna be one arc a year around Halloween.
Oh good, that's actually a cool idea.

Read Venom: Space Knight. It's so fun.
(expect to be a little lost at first if you've been out of touch with the character for awhile, he's gone through some changes over the past several years, to put it mildly)

I'd also recommend reading the backmatter for Wytches if you didn't. Snyder talks really personally about his struggles as a parent and a writer. I actually think that I liked the essays more than the book itself.
Read them. Loved them.
American Vampire is the best vertigo title. Second cycle is weaker than the first part but the horror factor is cranked up a notch. The main baddie is scary as fuck
plus American Vampire Anthology #2 is releasing this summer which means we will be getting more american vampire later this year/spring.
80 pages
I started Black Science up again with issue #9 after a long break, ended up browsing through 6, 7, and 8 to remember what the heck was going on, then moved on to 10.
I wish there were a world they jumped to where Roman Reigns had all the championships at once. I guess Grant's kids are growing on me and seem to be the focus point in character expansion, but i'm still not sold on the book itself, the world hopping and
I have every issue so i'll read more, but in an alternate universe i never got involved with comics at all. Was that a mistake?

multiple Grants trying to find the kids.

That's kind of my same hang up after getting all caught up. I really like the premise and like the book, just not sure if where it's headed is exactly what I wanted when I started reading.

Did he crunch numbers and analyze lots of data?? This explains soooo much about the greatness of his Vision run. He knows how robots think.

Welcome to six months ago.
I've read so much American Vamp, I think I'm tired of it at this point. The first run was ace, and Second Cycle started out pretty solid. But I'm just not into it anymore the way that I used to be.
That, sir... is a load of butts.
Usually around there. Give or take. It's not an exact science.

I play quite a bit with Mercy, how do you feel about her weapon? I mostly just boost other people if no healing is needed, her gun feels so weak and useless.
The recent Newsarama interview with him is the worst with this. I read it after someone mentioned this as a pet peeve and it really jumped out as obnoxious in the interview.
Its the Freezasarus of weapons. Usless and shouldn't be there.

Damn, that is an awesome haul. Enjoy your amazing comics.

Gotham Central
Scalped v4
Maximise those 50% prices.
Then use the extra 2% on Scalped v1-v3.
Damn this is the best idea!
Has anyone read scalp here? The reviews on Amazon don't tell me anything about the physical quality of the book

How good is Scalped? I've never read it.

It's definitely an interesting read. Though if I have a complaint about it, it's that it's a very angry book and it feels sometimes like Kelly Sue is attacking me just for being a man.
Wait...What?
Wait there is no cultural insight?
Edit: like does it give you information on actual reservations and history like other cultural books?

Welcome to the party, pal
I only saw stereotypes. And that might be the point - start from a place of cliche and then go deeper - but for the first 18 issues or whatever all I saw was unlikable people doing fucked-up shit.

I've heard complaints that's it's not an accurate depiction of Native Americans, and it's more of a white man's fantasy (i.e. the women in the book don't have the right body types for Native American women, etc. etc.)
Yeah dude. You didn't get that feeling when reading some of the recent issues?

I've only read the first trade and thought it was ok. Never got the urge to track down the rest.
