- Thread starter Tyrant Rave
- Start date
all of the hellboy universe comics end this year at least the main 3. Mike is taking a year break so who wants to wrap that shit up.
Hell on earth
Hellboy in hell
Abe Sapien
all 3 end this year and all tie into each other for the ending.
CMX unlimited has the first volume
first 27 issues out of 53 of the current transformers ongoing is available for sure under unlimited. just checked.There are other transformers titles that offer a free volume as well.
I am definitely going to double dip on hellboy in hell. Digital and then physical if we get a book

It's Transformes (2012). I literally just started at issue #1. Go nuts.

Hmmm I might have to finally check out that Transformers book when I have a little spare cash again.
It's great for people who haven't read a lot of comics. It's easy to forget how tricky it can be to learn to follow a comic book page because we've all been doing it since we were pretty young, it's second nature to us. My wife and daughter read in guided view exclusively.

I use it if I'm feeling tired and I want to rest my eyes, or if there's a ton of text on the page. My laptop is 16:9, and that's what I do my reading on, so it's sometimes hard to read.
Always have the whole page after the panels, though. Need to be able to see dat art. Truthfully I'd have it both before AND after, but that generally results in a ton of unnecessary clicking.
Truthfully I wouldn't bother if CMX would just let me set a higher default zoom level than fit to width, though :/

I now understand the dissatisfaction with Bayformers. This would make excellent watching.

Are we still doing "phrasing"?
Also, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl remains a g-d delight. That double page spread made me giggle at least three times.

The Transformers love makes my heart sing.
In other news, Dixon's Nightwing continues to be good comics.

Finished Rebirth. What a delight. It really made me excited for the future of the DCU.
Gary Frank. What a PRO artist. I adore his style.
Here's a non-spoilery page to show you what I mean.
Like, I'm generally not a huge fan of crosshatching shading (I don't hate it or anything), but I really love his version. It's a really unique and easily identifiable crosshatch technique. Please tell me he's working on one of the DC titles in this Rebirth thing. I don't think he is but I hope I'm just not remembering it.

Does Transformers: MTMTE get the IDW treatment as in a bunch of micro series weaving in and out of the plot all the time? That made TMNT a bit of a headache to get caught up on.

They should statue this up to make up for the weird interpretive dance one they put out based on Frank's Superman.
LOOK AT THAT. Absolutely incredible.

Enjoyed Rebirth and it makes me pretty optimistic for the new direction of the DCU. Art was a little spotty in some areas but Johns' heart was in the right place and it made for a fun read. Great way to kick this off.

BYE @ JL #50
Now onto Rebirth.
splitting my otp up. T-T Poor Scott and Barda... The latter better get some more spotlight though after Rebirth. <.<
Now onto Rebirth.
MAN am I glad to be back to Rivera on my read through of Ward's Daredevil. I mean, holy crap. I know art is subjective, so i definitely won't say Marcos Martin is a bad artist, but wow did I dislike that art. I know I wasn't ENTIRELY positive with Rivera in the early issues, but going back to it now it looks incredible.

Damn, Omega Men was a fun ride. I'll definitely grab the trade for the bookshelf.

I want to write a review for vol. 4 of Nightwing, but my passion has dwindled with my exhaustion and my body's unwillingness to sleep.
When's that supposed to drop? August?

What are some good fantasy comics? Something that has a similar tone to Witcher, Game of Thrones and Berserk.
[edit]
There's an upcoming comic that Mike Mignola re-tweeted that looked like the type of thing I was looking for. I can't seem to find it anywhere anymore, though.
[edit]
It's going to drive me insane that I can't find this comic. Does anyone follow Mike Mignola on Twitter and remember seeing this? It was a fantasy theme comic with knights and I believe there were some panels with pirates in them.
The comic didn't seem to have a lot of press cus when I googled the name of it, almost nothing came up on google about it, I think only about 2 hits were related to the comic itself.

What have I done
At long last, the right thing.
Picked up Steve Rogers Captain America #1 expecting something dumb, but turns out the comics internet is stupid as all hell once again, because the game's pretty much given away if you pay attention.
Sin has traveled to 1926 and she's pushed Steve's mom into joining Hydra. HER NAME IS FUCKING ELIZA SINCLAIR. Saiz does this wonderful thing in coloring the flashbacks where the red on her costume lets you know that something's up. (The costume itself seems to evoke her contemporary outfit in a way). The narration is all about TIME. Red Skull talks about the past.
On a deeper level it's a comic about how fascism rewrites history to built its narrative, but we can't talk about that because you seriously think Nick Spencer would make Cap a goddamn nazi out of nowhere.

It somehow got worse. It was so bad they had to create DC Rebirth just so people would forget about the whole thing.

I've said before I consider MTMTE one of the best comic series running right now, full stop. not just 'good for a licensed ip' or 'good for something based on an old cartoon', but legit one of the most all around well written books in print. The fact that it does what it does with an 'ip from an old 80s cartoon' is just the cherry on top of an already great book.

I'll stick with Guided View. My eyes tend to wander where they shouldn't if I go full page. I get way better surprises and reveals with GV.
Also it look horrible when they traditional Panels are broken free

Choi/Atom stuff was great, as well as Blue Beetle and... Blue Beetle. I'm most interested in that, and the
but I don't know which book will continue that storyline. I hope they reveal the JLA solicitation soon, maybe this weekend?

Ok Germany ComicsGAF (and maybe others who have visited). If I have a chance to visit Vienna or Prague on an upcoming trip, which would you recommend?
51 issues and not a single one dropping under 100,000 physical sales is an enormous achievement.
Hello and welcome!
I couldn't get into John's works and Waid's Flash much either (though I loved Gotham Central).
We were discussing some of DC's older runs yesterday, Hagi has collected them in this post.

Lot's of varied genres and art styles, hopefully you find something you enjoy.

I figured this would be the case after future quest. People were very quick to shit on it without reading it.
Transformers has been on my 'to read' list for years... one of these days I'll get around to it.
Part of my wishes the movies didn't taint the franchise so badly... left a real bad taste in my mouth.
I'm in! love me some Scooby Doo & the gang.

There is the odd one here and there, but otherwise it's pretty self-contained. The Dark Cybertron crossover brings together both books but apart from that you can stick to MTMTE.
You should definitely check out Last Stand of the Wreckers if you're getting into MTMTE. It sets up a lot of later stuff, and is also one of the very best Transformers stories of all time. It's the same team, and was actually James Roberts' first ever published story. Before that, he was mainly known in TF circles for the fan-fic Regenesis, which is grim as fuck but actually fascinating.
Permanently?
She did 1 earlier issue in the current run as well.
I cannot stand Tara Ford, so I was gonna drop it.

I'd agree except the book keeps on its toes visually, so I never feel like I'm just reading a novel.
it can definitely be a bit dialogue heavy, which is a little tougher especially when starting with the series and not yet having a feel for the characters, but I've never felt it was wasted. I don't mind more text if I feel it is a positive on the story as a whole.
I actually like that about it. Each issue feels like a much denser read than anything else I read. Feels like I'm getting my money's worth each month.
