Alright kids, need some help In my IST cart I got
Gotham Central Vol. 1-2 (New printing)

4 regular sized tpbs will end up costing you $44. The oversized omnibus is $50 right now. Unless you prefer reading the thinner volumes, you might want to consider the omnibus.

Alright kids, need some help In my IST cart I got
Gotham Central Vol. 1-2 (New printing)
Batman & Son (New Printing) [I had sadly misplaced my TPBs of Morrison's Batman book =_=)

Currently considering
Showcase Jonah Hex Vol. 2 (my postal office would charge me double for this one =_= )
Orc Stain Vol. 1 (WHERE IS FUCKING VOL. 2, STOKOE YOU HACK!)
Jack Kirby's OMAC
Alt. any book that is like USD 20 or less I can take instead

I like it. but I need to catch up. each issue being 4 dollars without dropping down is a bummer

 

[TetraxShards]

Erica and Chip Noooooo (. Ryan North is cool though.

Yay Sabrina

Pretty much how I feel as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing Sabrina actually.

Do people actually read Archie? I see it brought up and hear about stuff from it, but I feel like I never hear anyone talk about actually reading it.

Best comic. BEST. COMIC.

 

[KoruptData]

I'm reading a book that has no pictures. Feels weird man.

I read the first five issues. 1-3, with Fiona Staples on art, are amazing, gorgeous comics that everyone should check out. I found the story wasn't enough to keep me going without her, though. That said, a lot of people here still pull it - Jughead too - and seem to love it, so ymmv.

I actually own the old editions of the TPB Gotham Central ^^; Vol. 1 and 2 of the new printing are the ones I need most.

I can't bring myself to even think about a normal book after getting back in to comics. It's weird, I used to read so much.

 

[BrightLightLava]

I liked this picture too

But yeah, I still pick up Archie. I don't pick up Jughead, but that's because I prefer artist Chip to writer chip.

 

[Hagi]

I just checked out what's included in the third Claremont omnibus and y'all should jump on that before it goes out of print and you're not stuck waiting for a reprint in a few years. It has the all of the Brood stuff, God Loves Man Kills, that four issue Wolverine miniseries he did with Frank Miller, and the Magik miniseries. That's a ton of great stuff.

I still haven't read the volume 1 omnibus that I have but I suppose I should pick this up before the reprint of 2 comes out.

 

[TheFlow]

Ok guys went ahead and bought my comics in advance this week.

Black Panther #2

Vision 5-7

that is all the marvel I need this week

 

[RepairmanJack]

The newer archie stuff I've seen does look like pretty great art though.

Yes. It's really great

 

[frye]

I need to read some X-Men too. Have Wolverine and the X-Men an X-Statix on my to read list. (To be honest, all the movies have actually put me off X-men a bit.)

Started reading Cerebus yesterday. Not quite sure what to make of it yet. Have to decide if it is being played straight or is it a parody/satire...

yea, the early stuff seems to be mix of both (leaning towards parody), insofar that it's basically a Conan the Barbarian story played straight other than the fact it stars a goofy looking aardvark

 

[Owzers]

I'm reading a book that has no pictures. Feels weird man.

Anytime there is a half-full or empty page, draw a picture.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Oh boy, today is not going at all like I thought it would.

 

[Tizoc]

OK ended up with
Gotham Central 1+2 and Superior Foes Omnibus

Yes yes I know I said the thing about the heavy weight and all, but hey it all comes to USD 51 for dat fee shipping~

 

[GAMEPROFF]

After Finishing Grayson, do I now read Gotham at Midnight?

I don't know if he still has them in stock, but Steve Lieber will put books on his store, and sell them at the normal price with a quick sketch (along with other things).

Here's my Superior Foes Boomerang Sketch:

 

[Owzers]

Just like how Tokyo Ghost kinda felt over after the first trade, Black Science feels the same way after it's possible break point, issue #16. So much happened in the last few issues that it just feels over and the book is now being dragged into another weirdo arc ( just read issue #17).

Spoiler

Pia got to see Sarah again and have a moment with her, Nate's done some stuff, Shawn convinced Grant to do something good for a world they went to like he was initially sold on when joining Team Science, Grant saved the planet regardless of probably dooming it anyways to ghost spirit things, Grant realized what was important to him and saw Rebecca had ulterior motives. Kadir tussles with Team Science guy he decided against further helping at the risk of his life earlier, didn't kill him, and dies to Grant.

How is this not over? It's the same question i ask about Roman Reigns.

I guess I would just ask what you were expecting of it from the start? Did you expect just a short romp into another world and then they get back to their world? I was kind of let down when it went into the whole cyclical/time stuff because I wanted it to be more about jumping to different realities, but at the same time I haven't really seen it as drawn out or anything. But I also wasn't really expecting it to be a short self contained story. I always expected a Sliders-esque style book, but ultimately got something a lot different that I wasn't all excited for but still liked.

 

[Busaiku]

Jughead getting a new artist?
Might have to get back in there.

Mr. North is a good substitute for what Mr. Zdarsky was doing.

The superior foes made a small cameo appearance in Spider-Woman recently.

I didn't really have expectations, i didn't like it that much in the beginning because i thought it was rushed with some unlikable people, then i started getting casually interested and had all the issues piled up and am reading through them now ( on issue #18 now) and the build up through issue 16 seemed like a good ending spot and the transition to God World seems iffy. I still have more issues to read, it's not a firm judgement.

I doubt i'm getting Uncharted 4 today, it's not on sale anywhere outside of my GCU discount, Overwatch beta is still going on today?, and the playoffs have my attention so it's not like i'd play it tonight anyways. Last nights Blazers/Warriors game was pretttttttttttty good.

I've followed the new Archie, Afterlife, Kevin Keller, Sonic, Sonic Universe and Mega Man. They do some pretty decent stuff for a mostly all-ages publisher.

Wasn't meant to sound accusatory or anything, I was just honestly curious because I came to it so late. I do wish it went in a different angle and didn't make the sabotage and some of the characters and motivations so obvious, but I just really like the idea of a group being trapped dealing with all these realities for different lengths of time.

Overwatch is gone man. We didn't give it enough love so it went back to its home planet

Damn, Weavers #1 was fucking great. Can't wait to see where this is going.

 

[Vic_Viper]

By the way I dont think Remender's Uncanny X-Force is bad by any means, I just think its overrated.

I fully admit Axis makes me biased against Remender, but I already didnt think Uncanny was amazing even before Axis.

Axis is the worst comic book event ive ever read by the way. Its one of the few things I can say I truly hated.

Edit: stop ignoring Aaron's amazing Wolverine and the X-Men run when you recomend X titles you fuckers!

Ok my bad, completely agree with your thoughts on Axis. I was really disappointed his series ended with that garbage.

And Aaron's Wolverine and the X-men run was amazing! In my book it goes Wolv & the X-men > All New X-men > Uncanny X-force as my 3 favorite X titles of the last decade. But then again, I'm a huge fan of Bachalos art too lol.

Also about to place another IST order soon and am already picking up Absolute Batman & Robin and Batman Inc. but I need a recommendation on what else to get.

The Authority (Ellis & Millar), 52, Locke & Key, Or The Planetary. Haven't read any of them yet and not sure which to pick up first.

 

[shingi70]

I gotta get caught on Archie and Jughead.

Playing it right now on ps4! Turns out i'm still bad.

Planetary

(Or flip it if you are the type that saves best for last).

Burning money in a garbage can

Authority (Millar)

Really though just pretend The Authority ended when Ellis left the book, it's better that way.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

No clue what any of this Frontier stuff is. Worth a look?

Yes! It's amazing. Darwyn cook takes his take of DC when the heroes were just emerging onto the scene. One of my favs

I was catching up on Venom: Space Knight this morning and a question came up...

...shouldn't Flash know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man? The whole reason Eddie Brock knew was because the symbiote knew. Why not Flash?

Please tell me this isn't a One More Day thing

It is.

Jughead gets new team and adds Sabrina.

I got a Boomerang too! Mine was more detailed, here it is: https://twitter.com/tyrantraveomega/status/704393095886929920

I think he's doing the same thing for Gothan Central, but he charges MSRP so it's pricey

 

[GAMEPROFF]

It is.

And I fucking hate this. Venom needs to know. As Norman should.
But given the circumstances with Dark Reign, it was maybe better he didnt.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I gotta get caught on Archie and Jughead.

Archie is phenomenal. Jughead is kind of a mess for me. I get what they're going for with the weird science fiction sequences, but it doesn't work with the tone of the book.

Gotham central

I have so many things to read but bored atm so why not start this.

First two issues... damn Freeze is fucking savage. I already feel bad for Fields. think that is his name.

Speaking of Grayson, did they think no one would notice completely replacing the entire creative team, including the fucking writers, in the middle of a story arc?

From first to worst, that book. Stunning development and maybe the worst choke job DC has ever pulled.
