I want to read Final Crisis but I doubt that I will understand everything
My CBR reviews were extensive and likely helpful.

Batman Black & White Statue Robin By Frank Quitely - (DCBS)
Few things,,, I didn't know Patrick Gleason is doing art on Superman (Peter J. Tomasi writing)... guess I'll be checking this out.
I remember hearing something about Snotgirl but no details, thoughts anyone?,, Bryan Lee O'Malley is writing,,
Life's been busy feel I am slowly fading away...(from the comic world anyways)

Star Wars funkos are on sale at Best Buy, ordered Rey so I'd have something to return because of paint, it's been too long.

What's the deal with International Iron Man? Is it just a second book? Dealing with something different or in a different time or something? Was kind of confused by it so just skipped it.

I'm in the Time Runs Out portion of Hickman's run and just discovered the existence of Avengers World... outside of the A.I.M stuff which I'm guessing is expanded on this series is there anything else that makes it a must-read? Because as much as I love this overarching plot I'm fine with Avengers and New Avengers as is lmao.
It starts out being about young Tony. It's pretty good.

Was thinking of picking up a volume of the Annotated Sandman but its apparently a terrible edition for getting a look into the process or subtext. According to reviews, the notes arent from Gaiman and a lot of them are 'this page was followed by an ad'
Its not like I needed another expensive version of Sandman I guess

Its mostly just an entertaining side book with nice art that dips in quality about 12 or 15 issues in. I enjoyed it.
Whooooooa just had my mind blown a little bit. Hope Van Dyne wasnt made up for the Ant Man movie, she actually exists in the comics... in the MC2 universe of all places
Yup, though a completely different character. IIRC most of her handful of appearances were as an Avengers Next villain or whatever? So yeah, pretty damn obscure character to reference, which is neat.

Definitely felt like it was aping Ennis' style. I'll keep reading to see if Cloonan can push the character in new directions.

Pfft fc is easy to figure out mateI want to read Final Crisis but I doubt that I will understand everything
I mean this is 2016
Morrison's writing would be easy to figure out right now
it was just a bunch of trees, wouldn't read again.
Its more the status quo and the minor charachter who I dont know who make me afraid. Starting with a Crisis is a little bit rough, isnt it?

What stuff has Crain done art on? I'd assume Bloodshot or Ninjak, since Crain draws visceral violence extremely well

Just try to endure the Mandrakk bits, which are very well and good in a metatextual sense but pretty damn hard to actually read. The other plot is reasonably straightforward.

Rai and 4001 AD, the latter of which is his best work ever, hands down. He puts in an incredible amount of detail into everything.

The status quo is forever changing in comics mate that isnt anything new
Fc is still a good book that u should read for what it is not what dc had done after it ended

I wasn't totally cool on his art at first, because I thought his proportions on some characters were really weird, but it's really grown on me now.

Sorry, I accidentally hit submit before I was done typing. I meant to say that the art was fantastic considering that it was by a guy who moved on to draw such boring and uninteresting characters.
Real talk tho, when does the second Madame Mirage trade come out? I still haven't read the first one but I figure I'll get vol.2 and then read it all in one go.
Its more what comes before but I guess with the help of you guys I will solve that problem^^

He draws Eternal Warrior slimmer than I've seen him, so I kind of understand lol
In the next few weeks, it looks like
Dr. Mirage btw, in case that wasn't done on purpose

Sometimes it helps to go in blind
U think i knew anything about 80s jl when i randomly picked up 'formerly known as the justice league'? Book became one of my fav series ever
Final Crisis was the first DC event I ever read and the only books from them I had read before were Dark Knight Returns and I think Year One. You'll be fine.

Whoever wins, 'Murica loses.
I was really hoping you'd have something more in an imperfect comic.
America...will never lose! I don't even think Hillary murders people for fun anymore, it's just necessity.
Hahahahahaha, well played

Pretty light week for me, but all pretty good.
Rankings:
Midnighter
Sheriff of Babylon
Bombshells
Batman/Superman
Batman/Superman is at the bottom, but that's more about the other books. Very entertaining read. Great Ten put up an impressive performance, hoping they factor in to New Superman (though I can't imagine they won't).
Bombshells was actually kind of dark, looking at Zatanna's time with Joker's Daughter. I'm going to have to sit down and reread things, because I'm really not at all certain how this factors into the timeline, what with Constantine's state.
Sheriff of Babylon continues to look at America's role in Iraq in really interesting ways.
Midnighter, though, Midnighter was far from the rest of the pack. This issue just had a ton of heart. The series as a whole has served as a huge rehabilitation of my opinion of the character, and this sort of served as the cherry on top. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Good to hear, looking forward to reading this later. I haven't been so into the second arc as much of the first. I've also kind of liked Midnighter more in his interactions with Grayson which kind of makes me just want them as a team up book at this point.
