Snyder's worst is still average.

Zack Snyder, right?

American Vampire is still the best thing Snyder has done. Anything else outside of Batman is middling at best. The Wake, Wytches, and A.D.
A.D is great. Don't shit on that. I haven't read the last issue yet.

I'm sorry, next time I will tell lies instead.
Captain Marvel is the most popular super hero of all time.

The Captain Marvel movie will open at #1 and stay there for six weeks.
Are you taking shots at Juicy Jinder? The man is proof that all you have to do for a WWE title is juice for Vince.

Zack Snyder at least had that one dope Batman scene where he's pretty much killing guys
Wait, is Zack better at Batman than Scott? Must investigate further
The Wake, Batman, Swamp Thing... 3 strikes, baby
I haven't read zero year, please do not @ me
That scene was awful. The only good thing Batman did was hit Supes with a sink.

I should do lists again because I should start budgeting again
Archies #1
Batman/Shadow #2
Jean Gray #2
also saw that Kieron Gillen is writing a James Bond oversized special issue, which sounds awesome but I'll have to flip through it on Wednesday to see if it's $7.99 awesome
Don't you have mediocre Valiant comics to read?!

MAN. I need an omnibus of this material so bad. Everything I've read from it is incredible.
YES. Capullo at the top of his game with some of the best coloring out there.
Edit: double post. I guess I thought I should at least acknowledge my error.

So I caught up on all 24 issues of Birthright. God damn, I liked that a lot more than I thought I would. I'm usually not that big into books with heavy generic fantasy themes, but this one is really solid. Lookimg forward to the next issue.
Not that big of a difference. They are all mediocre Batman comics. :3

I bought the full Moore run during a Comixology sale and slowly going through it. It's so great.

Hahah some good Scott Snyder segued into Zack Snyder chat while I slept. I want to meet the guy or gal who hates (Scott) Snyder but loves Stephen King novels. I want to understand that person on a deep level.

Court of Owls is still my favourite Batman arc from Snyder. I loved the part where he's stuck in the maze - such a claustrophobic and unnerving issue. His Joker was good in Death of the Family, but I found Zero Year more enjoyable overall, plus it looked incredible.

Awesome, I got those Animal Man books. Can't remember if I posted about them. Spotted an ebay listing last week, all 5 of the Jeff Lemire Animal Man tpbs, brand new. £30 including delivery so it was two books for free at that rate....plus it had one throwaway line in the item description "4 volumes signed by Lemire". No pictures, not in the actual title of the listing but I thought well, it's a deal anyway and I never read past volume 2 back during the actual run so why not. Came today and they do indeed have the sigs on the inside of the front covers, very cool bonus.

Hey these are kinda cool, I love the Batman haha. Not sure about the cons on Joker...but they're pretty awesome otherwise. Catwoman has a cool look to her as well.

Been reading through a trade - Batman: Legacy v1. Quite enjoying it actually. Very 90s and straightforward till now, but seems like fun super-hero comics without the creative team trying to "make a statement" about Batman and/or redefine his place in the world.
Picked up last week:
Bug #1
GotG: Mother Entropy #3
Hilarious fight sequence
Doc Savage: Ring of Fire #2
This book has a very nostalgic feel while still having very modern, clean artwork and an interesting story.
Deadpool v. Punisher #3
A little bit better than last issue. Still kind of slow
Pulls for this week
GotG Mother Entropy #4
All New Guardians of the Galaxy #2
Star Lord Annual
Plastic #2
Redneck #2
XMen Blue #4
Doc Savage Ring of Fire #3
Huge amount of books for me. I am usually a 2 book a week person.

Will probably release either too early or too late for the show. Guessing this is Anka's book after Star-Lord? Hopefully he'll get to do more than 6 issues this time.
Like the Flash sales hurt it because the show came out 10 years too early? Jessica Jones came out 1 year late but it's a seller.
If Mahvoo doesn't pull a Mahvoo, we'll see.
Sure homie...

She looks way older than she did a few months ago in A-Force, her style of clothes are way sexier than before, her hair has that thing a ton of asian dark haired characters had a few years ago where they got splashes of color in their hair and the staff of one has gone back to its original form. Also, she has two normal arms now.
I assumed all nico but then I didn't care what they were referring to.

I think I may qualify? I haven't read King in years but I've enjoyed his books (especially Cujo). I've only read Snyder a couple times but I've hated the experience. Too much narration, and too cheesy, grim-dark-extreme. Whereas King is, like, a good writer. His stuff is easy and natural to read. Don't really see a similarity.
