About to dive in.
My favorite run of all time. Love it so much that I own 5 different original pages from across it (well, one is from Final Crisis, but it features Batman). I envy you getting to read it for the first time!

All New X-Men #18 80's variant is the BEST variant. I dare you to disagree.

I simply cannot.
Are they really permanently adding X-23 to the cast? If so that cover of her and past-Cyke is only going to get funnier. Breaking the two of them up might be the only think Cyke and Wolverine agree on.

i find those costumes just so distractingly messy. like each one is so similar yet slightly different and full of unique patterns that it's going to be a damn mess for any artist to keep up the differences other than the colours. i wish they were more immediately unique and fashionable. god forbid they show some skin.

Jeff Stokely and Si Spurrier Blog about the End of Six Gun Gorilla
Snippits:
Spurrier said, "...this is probably the proudest Ive ever been of anything Ive worked on. It all ends this month. I have the happysads. And a very undignified case of I Wish More People Knew This Existed, which isnt something Im supposed to admit."
And Stokely, "So anyway, to break off of my weird reblog tangent ramblings, THANK YOU if you bought the book. Thank you for sharing it and for enjoying it, hopefully as much as I have."
Reading the post you get a sense of how much this series has meant to these guys. And it's not a big hit and it's not likely to be revisited. It's just something special that people slept on that they have big feelings about. I truly believe that it will have a long life in trade. That people next year will be excitedly discovering it and singing it's praises. And I would be damn surprised if it wasn't acknowledged when people who judge such things are talking about the best minis of 2013.

The praise the book gets in here alone sold me on the trade
So happy I jumped on Six Gun and I'm super happy to hear how much they loved working on the project. It really comes through on each and every page.
I wish it was more than me and Maquinon singing its praises. Y'all fucked up

Looking forward to X-Men Marvel Knights, X-Men Gold, SSM and dreading people claiming Arena is a work of art and fantastic.

Speaking of X-Men, been re-reading Whedon's Astonishing run. So good... seeing Colossus and Kitty no longer together makes me sad.

Damo got blowed up at the end of & Son, so when you see him next Talia has him at the organ farm. Basically a quick way to say "He's ok folks!" He pops up next in RIP.#
It's fucking CRIMINAL how Tony Daniel has a cover credit on the Black Glove trade when the real star of that is JH Williams, pissing all over Daniel from a great height.

I've been reading it since the start, bro. There's just not much for me to say that you guys don't already cover.

I think they might be connected, but not officially part of it. Looking at solicits the first issue that mentions Blight is #10.

Half way+ through Batman: Black Mirror, awesome so far.
I really like Francesco Francavilla's art alot, different from alot of art out there.

Awesome, thanks. Gotta remember to start getting Constantine when it officially joins the crossover.

Where do I start with Sandman? I read some Sandman Mystery Theater or something about Bast and enjoyed it, but I figure that's not really what the series is, so I'm looking to dive in. Read the whole normal series? Read any collections in particular?

Start from issue one of the first trade, Vince. Ride that comic all the way through and enjoy. Then pick up the new Sandman Overture series and you're good for the main series, man.
Then you can look into the offshoot stories like Dream Hunters.

Sounds like a plan. It will be done!
Someone reading Grant Morrison's run for the first time
I'll probably pick up the TPB's myself before the B&N sale is over.Korupt is reading it, so we're talking about it.

Ah, I see.
BG is the only Morrison Batman arc I haven't read, and seeing you guys talking about it made me wonder if there was a good deal to be had somewhere.

You should get into it. Not only is it incredible, but you're missing a key part of Morrison's Batman run.

Start at volume one and then - VERY IMPORTANT - get volume two and read that as well. Go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and then 10.
I think you can handle it man. Do it.

You know a comic or book is good with me when I read and let my dinner get cold. I could not stop in the middle of that block of genius text that is "The Clown at Midnight."

pls explain how you did this, it hurts my soul.
So you read Batman and Son? And then went right to RIP? Or to B&R?
It's definitely the OCD part of my comics loving soul, but people skipping volumes of literary (as in, long form, single story) comics just blows my mind! Didn't RIP just make NO SENSE without the Black Glove? Or were you just thinking "that's Morrison!"?
You should probably do something about that, you're missing a pretty vital chunk of Morrison's run. This is so weird to me, did you read it all out of order? I can't imagine going from Batman and Son to RIP, and then it comes back into play again in Inc...
Yeah, read Black Glove.

I always thought that a comic with the right writer and artist could convey everything a good novel could do. Then you read that part, and the detail describing actions, smells, environment, atmosphere and you realize that no comic panel could could deliver all the detail. It made want to read a cape book novel, no art. Grant proved he could deliver that product.

Probably the same person who decided that Katana and Vibe or Amethyst of Gem World were potentially the next greatest thing.
There was a period of time there that I was in and out of comics for various reasons. I am missing several issues in that arc I believe, between that and Resurrection of Ras. I've picked up various things or issues at that period, but yeah I've always meant to go back and read the run completely from the beginning.
