Variants and a digital comic

this Darwyn Cooke news is fucked up
Oh sweet will definitely buy the digital comic then. I read the synopsis and it sounds cute.
I had a look at Duggans interview for Uncanny Avengers and it's got me really interested in reading the book especially now that Pymtron is back on earth. It's really weird to read about Red Skull still having Xaviers brain though I never finished SIXIS because I thought it was terrible. Always assumed that plot point would have got tied up then.

Skull got brain blasted, but he still has Xavier's brain grafted into his.

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is everything a good crossover comic should be. Might be the best one since JLA/Avengers. Loved the whole series and it'll probably make my best of the year list. Just incredibly solid and entertaining. The grimy art really worked in its' favour.
It also has
, so that is an instant win.
It also has
Mr. Freeze as a polar bear, and he and Mikey get into a cold-based pun fight

Finished Uncharted yesterday instead of reading anything.
Won't spoil it for others but holy good goddamn, is that a gorgeous game. Perfect capper to the series.

Hmm maybe we'll get something cool with that then. I never really liked what Remender did with the Professor X/Red Skull stuff in his Uncanny run. I actually only liked the Planet X part of his run.
I'm fairly early on (chapter 6 i think) but I'm really enjoying it.

Every time I read an issue of this I'm just floored by how perfectly it hits every beat of what a crossover comic should do. Like, I'm listing the tropes, the lines in my head, right as they're doing them and it's just such a joy.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Sadly, this sounds terminal.
Fuck cancer, lost a relative to it this year.

Black Panther was the highest selling comic last month
Poe Dameron was #2. I guess people liked that Star Wars movie. and Gwenpool was #6. the train continues.

Dat Captain America effect
Fixed that for you
Cool to see Rick and Morty in the top ten graphic novels the show is fantastic.
I am honest, I have never heard of this guy before, but he may be bigger in america as in germany.

Four Star Wars books in the Top 10. Damn.
Also nice to see Rat Queens Volume 3 at #3 on the TPB list.
Gwenpool's actually been pretty decent so far. I like the angle they're taking with it.

I never said otherwise. I'm just surprised that they're still selling strongly now, is all. The hype for #1 was massive, they shipped 1M+ (though 700K or so was Loot Crate, I have one of those!), but I didn't think it would last. The new movie helps I guess, but it's impressive they've been able to retain as much of the audience from the early issues as they have.
I haven't kept up on the actual books because I'm not really bothered enough about Star Wars outside of movie release windows to buy all of them. Stopped around #12 for both, I think. Will gather them up on sales and stuff.

Oh, I wasn't trying to be funny about it. I don't think anyone expected them to still be selling as well as they are. I didn't expect them to be as consistent either.

Does anyone have a link that shows Marvel's trade/omnibus release schedule. I found one the other day but can't seem to pull it up atm. Should have bookmarked it 
Also can't anyone recommend me a good tablet that has a good selection of .cbr/.cbz reader apps and can use MU for 300$ or less. I'm looking for something with the largest screen possible and best display around that price point. Thinking about a gen 2 iPad with retina unless someone has a good suggestion for an Android. Also is there a good app people here use that will allow me to put individual books into a collection to keep things organized how I want. I've been using MU on the iPhone and hate how they don't let you organize your titles, seriously makes finding what I want to read a nightmare.

Hey Messi
Great cover and costume. Amanda Conner stays winning.
Urgh, that's terrible news. How sad :-(
Booooooo.
(I'm all for creators ending their runs when they're actually done, but it's always a shame to lose the best SW book).

God this is such an upgrade. That old look was atrocious.
Deadpool Vs Gambit is a thing that is coming out? the hawk-eye one was great so I'll give it a look even though it's different writers. Vote Loki sounds fun.

I really wish they'd start offering back ups for this on CMX.
Hopefully they do because it's a series I've been meaning to get into for a while. That and the IDW Ghostbusters.

Man that Darwyn Cooke news is sad and depressing. I love the work he's produced over the years. Doesn't dound promising at all

Their sales always suck. It's always collections and never single issues.

It's not. Palliative care means they are just trying to address the symptoms and stress and give him the best quality of life possible, not attempting to cure the cancer.
I've only seen the cover...the interiors are bad? I'm reading Thunderbolts so unless it's worse than that I'll be fine as long as the writing is good.
I'm an estranged TMNT fan so yeah I'm looking forward to a sale and the new film which looks a lot better than the last one.
That's what I get for coming back to comics this month lol
I posted the preview pages above
hmm looks like Frank Underwood cosplaying as Loki in a book where Loki pretends to be Frank Underwood, not a fan.
What really? They just had a full on tmnt sale I swear single issues and spinoffs

Ugh. That sucks. I almost feel compelled to drop my current plans and reread DC Frontier again.
Not true. I only buy IDW comics that are on sale. Most of my collection is from single issues
This news saddens me.
I recently lost a close friend, and my work desk partner of 4 years, to colon cancer just three weeks ago. He was only 34.
