I'm staying on. It has plenty of potential going for it, and I believe in KSD.

Oh I remember reading it long time ago. Will give it a re-read but Marvel should do another Power Pack mini with Gurihiru art.
I just finished watching Thor: The Dark World, and I'm genuinely surprised they haven't reintroduced Jane Foster into the Thor comics as the astrophysicist and similar character the Portman plays in the movies. Seems like Thor already gained momentum when the first movie released, and with how big the character has become now and the new series, it's as good time as ever to bring Foster back in.

Batman / Superman was great. I love Toyman, I really, really do.
Caught up on the annuals from last week as well. Most were pretty good.
Then there was the Teen Titans and H'el Action Comics. Hrm. Teen Titans was actually not as bad as its been lately. Not great, mind you, but... OK. Actually an interesting fight between Kon and evil future Jon Kent Superboy.
Weird setup for why Kon is gone and Jon secretly replaced him but we'll see how it goes with the new Superboy writer.
Action Comics had Faora which automatically makes Lobdell's involvement slightly less painful. Story isn't terrible, though it has the usual Lobdell dialogue; though I did like the scene with Kon and pre-Krypton Destruction Kara.

Kon actually beat his ass which was surprising. Almost killed him.

Pretty Deadly? I'll probably grab another issue or two before I decide one way or the other. Velvet, on the other hand, is definitely a keeper.

She needs to beat cancer first and go back to school for an astrophysics course

Hnnng got those fear agents I bought awhile back up on ebay, 10 mins to go, hopefully I make my money back on em. Thinknig I might buy some of the new 52 dark books I've not checked out with the cash, anyone got any favourites or whatever? I read Swamp Thing, have tried Animal man.
Marvel's current event hasn't even finished and we're already learning about one happening in May next year. Comics!

Did anyone read Point One back in 2011?
UPDATED: RETAILER POSTCARD GIVES A GLIMPSE INTO MARVEL'S FUTURE, UATU'S DEMISE
CBR News has learned that Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato Jr. are the creative team for the as-yet unnamed event. Marvel comics would not comment when approached for confirmation.

now what plot device will come in to talk about how grave the situation is
They're gonna promote Uatu Johnson (or whatever his name is) from SSM to celestial being.
my annoyance with the watcher does not go away when they tease his death.

God damn I want to read new Nova so bad, but Loeb kid makes me so hesitant.
I like Stephanie best.
I like babs most
I love Jason Aaron, but Deodato kills any interest I had in this.
Uatu's girlfriend.

Stephanie gave up her child so she could continue to be an adrenaline junkie.

Yeah Sam pretty much sucks, but it's still an enjoyable enough read. Artwork is great too.
Action was great, and the new Bat/Supes arc did start in 5 and looks like real fun.
So far, it seems Greg Pak was exactly what Superman needed.
It's the comic book universe,they reintroduce and bring back dead characters all the time.
LOL! I have that in my backlog, I can't wait to dig in now.
That's because he's been too busy being a creeper in Arrow-GAF ._.

Arrow-GAF frightens me, deeply.
ArrowGAF is the creepiest thread ever.
I know, I absolutely love the show but I definitely feel uncomfortable venturing in there sometimes. At least Rei is super cool and level headed.
I saw ya'll talking about Grant Morrison's run on Batman two pages ago. Are all of those books absolutely vital to the story or is it primarily the Batman and Robin volumes you enjoyed most?
My wife and I started watching Arrow recently. It's entertaining in a cheesy way. Which girl is GAF creeping over? Thea or Felicity?
It's definitely best to start from the beginning. Though, you could probably skip battle for the Cowl and the Rise of Ras Al Ghul crossovers.

It's all pretty essential. If you read all the books, you get a very satisfying overall story. You could just read Batman and Robin, but you'll miss out on some of the best moments.
Just back from Thor: The Dark World. Solid movie, first post-credits scene is crazy.
#teamLaurel checking in here
Eh it's like everyone makes them froth at the mouth. The worst part of it though is the obnoxious level of hate for Laurel. Every other post is usually something along the lines that the character should die.
I pretty much like every character and feel that they all bring something unique to the show. Overall, it's enjoyable and I love the pace that the show runs at.

Okay guys, mission successful on ebay, and thus have made myself a basket on amazon with my winnings. Still running hot off of Batman month so delving a bit further in DC than I normally do. Have a basket sitting here on amazon consisting offf:
I, Vampire vols 1-3
Frankenstein vols 1 & 2
Dial H vol 1
JLD vol. 2 (I'm supposing I don't need to read vol.1 to start Lemire's run)
Does this sound wise?

I just read Earth 2 #17. Yeah, I'm on board now. Not happy about Robinson being off the book, but this issue was insane.
Read the whole thing from start to finish, it's all one big connected story arc.
I'm only 12-13 eps into Season 1, but they are doing a good job balancing the current and flashback scenes. I'm not sure if the flashbacks continue into S2 (I imagine they do if they are covering 5 missing years), but those bits are always good.
It's funny how a cheap CW show based on Green Arrow is outclassing Marvel's expensive SHIELD series in pretty much every way.

New Preview for Image's Umbral #1
I wasn't really into the first preview but this one has peaked my interest. And they are touting it as being an "extra-long first issue" at 2.99. That's how you do it.
Edit: Did anyone else read Drumheller #1? The storytelling was kind of weird but the premise is interesting.

Not revealed yet. It won't be swept under the rug though. Hickman doesn't do stuff like that without a reason.
Forget the best thing Hickman has done, it's the best comic being published period.
Are we sure that's uatu and not some other watcher?
