Yo Tyrant, Free Comic Book Day is at the beginning of the month not the end. It's this upcoming Saturday actually.

This was so fucking awesome.

Seems like vol 6 of Snyder's run is just a collection of short standalone stuff. Still worth reading, or can I jump straight into vol 7?

Cool. I can't believe DC does t have a rebirth FCBD promo comic. That very dumb on their part.

Yeah it's a really quiet year. No Rebirth is disgusting as fuck. My LCS does a good job of putting things out for people, and I'm sure that they still have some Darkseid War previews laying around from last year.

do they really need one, though? they have this giant-ass 80 pages special coming out, it's $2.99, it's about as easy to get as it gets

Maybe, maybe not. But to have almost no presence from one of the big two publishers at the biggest turnout for local stores is disappointing.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen people argue with my LCS about all the comics not being free, and people trying to walk away with stuff on the shelves.
 
Speaking of Star Wars, the second view of TFA really showed that the story of the movie relied on a tons of lucky coincidences.
Hurted it a little bit for me.

It's not really new in TFA. R2 and 3PO landing on the right part of Tatooine to be bought by Owen and within the right distance to Obi-Wan, a probe droid landing right next to Luke on Hoth, Qui-Gon landing right next to the village where the 'chosen one' lives etc etc.

Put it down to the Force.

Yeaht, thats right, but I dunno. I can buy that when it comes to the planets but space is a different thing.
Chemistry between everyone is still great and the spaceship actionscenes where great.

The jedi are weak and do not know the true power of the force.

A lot of storytelling relies on coincidences. I think the general rule for coincidences is:

Coincidences that get you in trouble = good

Coincidences that get you out of it = bad

Not really. It should be a fun read, but it focuses on the least interesting characters in the bloated lineup and the missions are boring.

Jasper Sitwell the Zombie is the best part of the book and he can't talk

I can't seem to remember the title of comic I wanted to read. It was described as realistic take on Punisher like vigiliantism and it was about a group of cops (including AFAIR at least one woman) who decided to take matters into their own hands. I think one of the covers or first promo pics was the whole team dressed full black.

Anyone got a clue what that comic was? Would apprecieate the help greatly :)

Nah, interesting set of characters that somehow is one of the most boring books out there.
Then I will dont buy it.
Is one of the already canceled books worth the read?
