Not a very strong month for me. Only 17 titles and most of my top tier books are missing.
Yeah someone be lying to poor poor Ponn.
Thats not what I kept hearing about it, well at least I will be pleasantly surprised then. Better than disappointment.

Can't decide if I want to jump back into that or not.
Amy Reeder seems to have left Moon Girl to go back to drawing this.
You still talk with your ex? I couldn't, super awks.
I have honestly never heard that. Especially not here. Easily in my top 5 if not top 3. Can't wait for more.

That's on you, but I believe your purchase actually increases the chance the movie is garbage.
Can you still cancel and give Wonder Woman a fighting chance?
I'm out. I don't trust them to keep it going in a timely manner nor do I think the sales will be there.

If she's your ex, why do you give a shit? Asking honestly.
Eh, I didn't even make it through the first arc. It wasn't bad, just not for me.
I had to pre-order the exclusive to get the shield. Once the exclusive sells out, she won't even come with a shield. Sideshow pls.
I could cancel but I paid a $50 non-refundable deposit.

Guys, yea or nay on this DC Universe by Mike Mignola collection? Trying to decide if it's worthy of being part of my more limited physical pick-ups nowadays. Mignola makes me want to jump on it from all the Hellboy universe stuff, but I have little experience with him outside of that, and none with these issues in particular...
Meeeehhhh
I read the first three issues and it's okay. I'll get back to it eventually. While the main plot is nothing new, the lore behind it isn't derivative. The characters don't stand out IIRC and like Remender's other work, the main character is a father.

Friend, are you prioritizing your $50 over the future of female-led superhero films?
Weird about the shield. Is that standard statue practice? I thought comic collectors had it bad with lenticular covers and Harley Quinn variants.

Sideshow usually does a limited number of exclusive editions, then once those sell out, only regular is available. Basically, the exclusive will include an extra part, like an alternate portrait (head) or something like that. Rarely is it something so integral to the figure as the shield. It's usually something neat, but not a must-have.
For comparison:

I looked it up because that is really nice looking.
$500? holy hell!

Ha. Yeah. They're not cheap. Though they are huge. That WW is 20" tall.
Premium Formats average $400-$600 these days. There are also some really nice Maquettes, like Thanos and Darkseid, but those are about $1200 each.
Darkseid is 32" tall and Thanos is...well... THE SIZE OF A MAN'S TORSO. I did seriously consider that Thanos, but A) the exclusive sold out in a few hours, and B) I really have nowhere to put it.
Get the Ron Lim one.

The Diamond Premiere one? I did. It doesn't come out until July. But I really do like that one.

Zatanna PF looks so good.
Pls be under $500.

Even if Freeza doesn't return the statue, I'm sure Wonder Woman will be fine. DC has a great track record in movies, especially with female leads.

The press reaction seems pretty good so far.
I'm still considering Thanos. Only problem I have is dedicating a space for it.

I do not participate in these threads a lot but I am also an avid comic reader and have been for most of my life.
I just wanted to share with those who may appreciate it as I do not have a whole lot of friends IRL who also read comics, I just officially picked up my first (and second) pieces of original comic book art.
In particular, I really have enjoyed the 3 book series A.D. After Death by Scott Snyder and Jeff Lemire which just wrapped up last week with Book 3.
I picked up 2 pages from Book 2. Pages 26 & 27 to be specific. If you read the series, I specifically picked up these 2 pages as not only were they available, but I feel it is a pretty big part of the overall story now that I have read Book 3.
I am really psyched as I am a huge, huge fan of Jeff's style and approach, and it really has been a great, unique little series.
Here are the two originals I picked up. 12x18 on Bristol Board with Inks and Watercolor.

I've already come to terms that I'm not going to get that exclusive portrait.
As a matter of fact, I was going to just buy the Sideshow print because I didn't lock in on the exclusive maquette...but I don't think the print ever went "public".

That's awesome man. I feel like Lemire is getting better and better.
And you should post more! It's great having a place to talk about this stuff with others who are just as passionate.
YMMV honestly.

I'm so happy for you, for real! I haven't read that series (as I don't tend to enjoy Snyder), but I am a Lemire fan! Sweet Tooth is my favorite so far, but I have a lot yet to read such as Decender, The Underwater Welder, and Essex County. Currently reading his ongoing, Royal City. I'll be getting around to Roughneck shortly.
Anyway, I love his art style. Especially when paired with his water colours! I'm excited for your pick up!

This answers Freeza's question too.
We were like all we had living in rural Japan together, and we dated for two years. We get along really well, so we still talk every day despite breaking up almost a year ago. Pretty rare, but I only get along with some of my exes.

Which book are they in now?
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps
Kyle needs to upgrade his wardrobe lol.
I have always loved this page:

I need to reread that issue later.
