I hope so. I wouldn't want to be disappointed with one of those $500 Premium Formats.
If it is, it doesn't bode well for the Daredevil one I bought.
Oh yeah I need to buy those Secret Warriors complete collections. Thanks for reminding me! And, yeah, the same treatment for his FF run would be so awesome. I just don't think Marvel cares about FF anymore, unfortunately.

I got the Secret Warriors omnibus when IST first put it up. I got it for $48 since I had that extra 2% stack on top of the 50%.

Yea they totally do. It's a bit of a winding path, but once you've been up to Morgan's office, you should have the key code for the volunteer loungey living area on the second level above where you got your original neuro mod, just before the lobby. Once you get the power on in there you can shortcut over to fabrication which is also on that second level and it's in there. There's two savage aliens you come across but if I managed it on lemon peels and spare wire you should be good with your millions of materials haha

Has DC given any kind of indication as to how limited these Rebirth Deluxe trades will be?
The Batman book is available for pre order at DCBS, can't decide if I should do it now or just wait till they are out and see if I can get a better deal. Can't believe it's 15 issues and under $20 lol. The Low OHC is also available, definitely getting it too.
Also been thinking about getting the first 2 Thor OHCs by Aaron. I've never read a Thor book but am a huge fan of Aaron's other books.

Thor is Aaron's best big two work by far.
I wonder what Aaron's next book will be.
Isn't he doing Generations or some big event?
Thors: The Goddamned Southern Bastard Gods of Thunder
Each Generations issue is being handled by the writer on the featured legacy character so he'll be on the Thor issue. After that he will be doing the Marvel Legacy one-shot to setup the future direction of the line. We have no idea what he's writing after that though.

lmao, I went and found it then maxed out all my neuromods. This should be fun, considering I'm only like two hours into the game.

Messi, why do you only have half an avatar?
I read Guggenheim's Agents of SHIELD run from Last year. Not has bad has I thought it would be, there where some cool concepts and fun action scenes. But some of those ideas had a poor reason for existing, like a file that had directions to counteract almost every major superhero on the planet was a pretty great hook; saying that this file exists because Coulson is a superhero fanboy who payed enough attention to superhero fights that he was able to figure out most everyone's weakness and then a telapath knew to look in his mind and steal these plans, is pretty dumb.

Read the first four chapters of Injustice 2 just now. Good stuff so far. Has some humor bits in the right places and the story is intriguing enough to make me want to read more.
Worst thing was that it never did anything because it had to tie to two events.

I feel like I need to read the old school Guardians of the Galaxy stuff now.
I'm pretty sure it's on sale right now.

Could a person hop on with this without having read the first run? Could you provide details as to what you like about the series?

The Injustice books are direct tie-ins to the games. The basis of the franchise is that Superman loses it and kills Joker after Lois and his unborn child die as a result of a Joker plot. After which, Superman basically takes over the world and recruits other heroes to help him kill all the bad people. Naturally Batman builds a resistance to oppose him. The appeal is that you get stories you'd never see in the actual DCU, including frequent character deaths and such. It's very Ultimatum-like in some ways, except it's actually well-written.
I would start with the first Injustice series if you're going to get into it as I2 brings up some plot points from the first series.

I just saw it. I might just get some at my local comic book store when I get their next week instead of getting it on ComiXology. Besides, I don't have the money for it now.

Just realized that could be spoilers for someone. The panel in Nightwing #20. You know the one.
Comics, man. Just awesome.

I've enjoyed the entire cosmic run so far and I'm sad to be down to the last event. I've heard Thanos Imperative is really good though.
It's an event that is fun to re-read again and again.

I really enjoyed it. Felt like a great send off to Abnett and Lanning's run and a proper conclusion to it all.
We'll see.

I can see Fantastic Four, but I could see that being a Bendis book honestly, he's been playing with bits and pieces of the FF toybox right? I wrote this a few days ago, but I could see Aaron on Cap.
Aaron on Fantastic Four would be cool.
Still, Slott is my favorite, but its not going to happen.
I would like to see Slott on Fantastic Four. When Silver Surfer ends he could start working on another book and it would be cool to see him on Ant-Man with Allred or someone creative in a similar way.
Aaron is only writing Thor for the main universe and that could possibly end this year, so he could very well be working on multiple new books.

So I've been on a Marvel binge lately with the Vs. Series of Capcom fighting games as well as rewatching a bunch of the cinematic universe movies. Outside of these films and games, I've only got minimal knowledge of the universe. I'm really interested in Thanos and his battles though, so would it be acceptable to jump into Infinity Gauntlet or am I going to be missing out on a ton of details? And is there any other required reading when it comes to the character? It seems like Infinity Gauntlet was remade somewhat recently, but I'm willing to bet it's not as good as the original. What about all the spin-off stories?

I didn't think about that. I thiiink Slott confirmed he's still on Spiderman after Legacy begins though right? With the amount that goes on with that, not sur eif that would prohibit him from another major book, compared to something off on its own like Surfer.
True, 6 of the ten 10 the series had tied-into events. Though I kind of enjoyed the Stand-off tie-in

If you want to read Infinity Gauntlet, make so to read Thanos Quest before. Its fundamental to the plot.
It's sales are poor. Largely being saved from cancellation because it's Slotts passion project and they want him on Spidey.

I recommend reading Thanos Quest to see how Thanos gets the gems and then Infinity Gauntlet. The latest book that is named Infinity Gauntlet has nothing to do with the previous stories and is more related to an event that happened two years ago.
More required reading? I'd just say Infinity War, which is the sequel event of Infinity Gauntlet and it's a lot more wacky. If you hear about Infinity Crusade or Infinity Abyss, just skip them. Or not Infinity Abyss, you could probably read that and then Marvel: The End and then the 2003 shortlived Thanos ongoing by Jim Starlin and Keith Giffen then off you go on a whirlwind of cosmic adventure.

This book slays. The art is the exact fit for the story and vice Versa. The world is so cool. I love it
The Flintstones #3-4
It is unreal how good this book is. Fred at the marriage retreat was so real. The spring breakers story was a little weird but the allegory was on point.
Walking Dead #167
The unstoppable train in my life has been gaining speed lately. I can't stop thinking about this book and this issue shows why.
All New Guardians of the Galaxy #1
Missed the last run because I only recently got into non-TWD comics, so gave this a shot. Exactly what I was looking for in from the characters. That Scarface joke 😂

I picked up my pulls on Saturday and didn't even pay attention to this. I might have grab something if I saw anything not was offered, but whatever. The store was busy so that's all that matters.
