About to pull the trigger based on discussion here alone. Any good? I like Brubaker but have no clue what this is.

So, Ted Cruz just dropped out. I think I'll re-read The Wake to celebrate his return to the watery depths of the sea

Crime and spy stories are what Brubaker does best. That's beyond question. This is basically Gotham City crime stuff on the non-superhero side. Regular cops like Bullock and Montoya dealing with all these superpowered people running around.

It's focused on the GCPD. It's excellent, one of the best Batman stories ever despite having not being focused on him.
I want to read it again now. If I was the thread-making type it would be a good Book Club pick.
i might join you in this, he's been on my shelf for awhile, never gave him a look.

Gotham Central is some god-tier comics. Other books have a more special place in my heart, but GC is probably the best thing I've ever read, objectively speaking. That or Doom Patrol.
It's about the Major Crimes Unit of the GCPD, with very little focus on superheroes; more about how cops work in a city filled with supervillains, and some pretty heinous regular crime to boot.
It's basically a police procedural set in Gotham

Jump in! You should totally just jump in. It's fantastic, no prerequisites

Thank you Sir! Watching gameplay videos of it last night got me itching to play it.
Manapul is my favorite writer.

If the book clubs didn't inevitably sputter out into nothingness I would totally get on that.
I think I am going to reread it, though.
I'm just trying to imagine how Adam Hughes will do interiors, found these two examples,
But an entire comic book, I'm looking forward to the previews just to see how the panels will flow.
He did a batman black and white story that I love.
Can't find the first page but you get the gist. I love the last page.

Hey Messi, I think you might have looked into this. Does John Timms do his art on digital or paper?

Can you read the floppies all at once from the Kipp Omnibus Reading Position?
I thought not.

Unfortunately I picked up all the trades for Gotham Central last year. The 4 collections, so that one isn't on the list =(
If I didn't own it already it would be an instant pickup though. I say unfortunately but I have no regrets about it. Was totally worth it at the time.

I really liked the few issues of Maze Agency that Hughes drew.

Maze Agency, thats the good shit
I don't know why I said floppies. I meant the TPBs.
Is that a part of the Maze Runner series?

the next time I see an interesting illustration by Cho will be the first
I did look into it. I found some rough work seems to be done on paper. Prelims and such. I can't find definitively if he works digitally. I suspect he does though. Didn't contact him though.
Edit: Under his name on comic art fans he has prelims of interior art that people own. It looks rough though.

Damn, looks like IST was super prepared for today. Less than 7 hours after the order was placed. Gave me a tracking number too.

This looks really good, IST happens to have the first volume half off as well, I'll have to pick it up with my next order. Thanks for the recommendation.

It is a brilliant series. Unfortunately, there's only ever been one trade released. You will have to track down the rest via back-issue bins or eBay.

I've read those books!
Have you been following Angela before that? If not I can see why it did nothing for you. I doubt the next 6 will change that.

I was and I really liked it actually. Its why im surprised how little this did for me :/
Well keep reading. You have nothing to lose. The book is cancelled now anyway.
They went in so hard on Angela and it sure fizzled out huh? Has there been any word if she will be on any team book or something?
Shes actually one of the upcoming Marvel Heroes characters, surely from a deal made a long time ago lol >_<

It's all stuff that came out today, so there wasn't much chance of anything being on backorder.
She's in vote Loki and coming back to Bendis Guardians.
The book was great. People didn't buy it.
Marvel won't stop with Angela because this failed.
