Ah weird the story didn't say that. Probably for the best. Super unprofessional to do it tho. Especially twice.

Yeah, that panel is still bad lol
Just read that DC is gonna be collecting Rachel Pollack's issues of Doom Patrol into trades for the first time. That's pretty neat. I'll give it a shot. HOPEFULLY, they don't cancel these trades too... Really disappointed about the Sandman Mystery Theatre cancellation.

No. We basically had that back in 2010 with the "Heroic Age" stuff post-Siege. That took us down the road to Fear Itself, which wasn't worth the trouble.

Read the first chapter of this Mignola/Sniegoski novel. Fuck me, this book is dark lol. The writing is totally fine, very meat and potatoes, straight forward written, not a lot of flair, they obviously want it to be an easy book for anyone to pick up. The actual plot/content is pretty out there though haha, the investigation the lead character goes on in chpt 1 is fairly similar to your normal Hellboy bit where something strange is going on and lead character stumbles in/is called to investigate and everything unravels from there but things get darker than probably any Hellboy tale or Baltimore etc I can think of. It kicks off with
and somehow steps that up once or twice before the resolution. The lead character is like an even more unhinged Lobster meets Batman who believes he's been chosen as the avatar of death, whom the spirits of the recently departed appear to in order to mete out justice against the wicked. Pretty nuts, more than I expected.

oh, and can we also shit on Black Mask Studios for being so incredibly inconsistent with their CMX releases? I wanted to read The Dregs, but nope, issue #3 isn't up yet. #1 did not release on time with comic shops, but #2 did and now #3 didn't. lolwat
I recommend Quantum & Woody. It's in the same style of humor and Lieber did the last arc.

Hmm, thought I would read either Hellbo LE 4 or The Demon after Multiversity but three library books came in. (Prez v1, Spider-Gwen ohc v1, Strange Girl omnibus). Wonder what I should read next.
Prez. God damn is that book a treasure.
I will check it out thanks.

I miss that book so much. It was spot-on political commentary.
What I'd I told you that guy is a Nazi sympathiser. Or so I hear.

Wish I'd known before I read it, so I could enjoy it less
Maybe that's why he writes crooks so good.....
Superior Foes is far and away the best thing Spencer has done though.
He should go back to comedy. Serious stories don't suit him as well.

The Fix is kinda like a R-rated Superior Foes.
I think Lieber is the one that really makes it (and Superior Foes) work. He's a great artist with a good sense of humor.

He's also writing The Fix, also about some crooks. I think Lieber is also on that one.

Spider Gwen is good popcorn fun with some nice heartfelt character work Imo and I get a real kick out of the tipsy turvy nature of the world compared to the regular universe...but I think I would pick Prez out of those three haha, I always wanted to read it, sounded great.
Then again you could just go for HB anyway
I'm not sure I want r rated Superior Foes.
If it was super violent, i don't think it would be as funny.
But I will take a look nonetheless.

DH keeps them in print. They'll be back in a couple of months.

Prez it is!
What some other posters said. They go up then come right back down when stocked. This has been happening for almost a decade

Been reading my FCBD books and enjoying them a lot. I liked the Wonder Woman rebirth #1 by Rucka. How is this series? I don't see many people talking about.
Even better was Betty and Veronica #1 by Hughes. Loved that so much. Heard this fizzled out after a few issues? Shame. Regardless, I want to track down whatever issues exist.
The Buffy comic was pretty cute, too. Rick and Morty was meh, but I've never seen the cartoon. This was my first exposure to the IP.

I like Wonder Woman a lot. A bit behind on it, but it's always good each issue. I am tired of origin stories for Diana, but the Year One stuff is actually very strong. Nicola Scott is a very talented artist and does some gorgeous work in it. Probably my favorite mainline DC book.

I like WW. Despite not really wanting to see any shake ups with her origin after enjoying Azzarello's run so much and what he laid out, and not really digging Diana's Megan Fox botox expressions, it is really well written and played out, and Sharp's renditions of some of the gnarlier things in the arc are awesome. It was the best of the Rebirth books I tried so far, but i've only tried 5 so take what you will from that haha

Awesome cover. Was wondering what happened with this series since it's been a long time since #3.

Sat and read through Hellboy: Into The Silent Sea this evening. Awesome! It's only a 56 page tale, but it's pitch perfect. After The Island, Hellboy drifted on the sea for a time before arriving in England. This is at least one of the bizarre adventures that happened to him during that time. It's basically the usual Hellboy template but there's some surprising call outs to the greater lore and Gianni (whom I'm not familiar with at all) pencils the whole crazy thing to great success and Stewart nails it as always.
It's cool to finally see what happened after that tease at the end of The Island all that time ago, and with The Visitor's story also being told, I kind of feel like I've nearly had every big question I genuinely wanted to know about HB's adventures answered. That's not to say there isn't endless room for Mignola to tell these kind of small adventures, but it's just cool to have so much addressed. Would still love to know what happened during HB's first visit and lost week in Africa that led to the ominous warning in Strange Places though, that one is still there.

It's written extremely well. Probably the best voice Diana has had since the last time Rucka wrote the book (and maybe Simone). The problem is that it feels extremely decompressed with the alternating storylines and Veronica Cale isn't compelling enough for me to be interested in Diana dealing with her.

Wow lol. Had no idea he was also the guy on Teen Titans Rebirth. Who's on Titans now? And how does it compare?

Probably my favourite DC book ever. So, so good.
Surely now is the time for Bob, Agent of Hydra, to return.

I don't pay attention to solicits or news too much, so this may be something everyone already knew months ago, but on the latest Bendis Tapes, he was talking about his Doom book like it's going to end soon.
Yeah, Bendis said that the Doom book was planned for a finite run and I would imagine the character steps down when Tony return later this year.
Bob is actually getting a story in the anthology tie-in book.
That last arc was rough right? They crossed a line I never expected them to.
A few issues? What if I told you that you have read 1/3 of Betty and Veronica and the final third hasn't shipped yet. It didn't stop him selling the original art from #3 tho.
Issue 1 : July 20th
Issue 2 : November 9th
Issue 2 : June 14th
Adam Hughes everyone.
Book was trash and I very rarely say that about something.
Possibly the DC book I'm most excited for.
Winter Soldier (really that entire last arc but man check this cover for #9) (1)
Kill or Be Killed (1) (2)
Sleeper (1) (2)
Incognito (1)
Criminal: The Last of the Innocent (1)
🤔 🤔 🤔
Sleeper/Incognito/Criminal are nsfw
There's stuff with Slam Bradley in Catwoman I think, and there's definitely stuff in The Fade Out and Fatale I could've put up there too
