Anyone pick up Clown Fatale today? Anyone besides me, that is.
Good to hear that! Guess I'll hop on now and wait for a collected edition to be released of Battle of the Atom.
I dunno man, I dunno. Shit be crazy.

Harley Quinn was... a bit odd, but it turned out to be pretty fun, and not completely horrendous like I thought it would based on the preview.
X-Men was pretty enoyable as well. Monet is back, aww yis!

Hey man its called the Marvel UNIVERSE. I love all that talk last year about how they were opening up the Marvel U and kept annunciating the word "universe." So lets add a few people from New York to this whole galactic avengers team. Makes sense.
FBP is the schwayest book on the market.
Rock over London
Rock on Chicago

Its whats for dinner.
Could be he just gets it for the arc. Mania's not keeping it, if she does she'll get put on a bus to somewhere and we'll never see her again.

So, reading Avengers 23 today, I'm convinced that the galactic war aspect of Infinity is there solely so Hickman can continue playing with those Marvel Cosmic toys. That whole storyline (as well as a good chunk of his Fantastic Four run) is basically a followup to DnA's stuff.

Crap, I knew I missed something today. Gonna have to wait until next week now :/
I really liked Harley Quinn #0, does that make me a bad person?

I'm glad others are enjoying it. I think I posted after reading the first issue but no one else was discussing it. I can't wait to read issue #3.

Birds of Prey is OK. It's nothing special but it isn't offensive either. It has, however, struggled under a couple different writers so it doesn't really have a direction. I wouldn't go in just for Batgirl.
Damn, if I wanted to read more Batgirl pre new 52 what would be the best thing to read.

I think I am going to start reading Sandman this week. Found an issue of Overture in the store today, the awesome J H Williams cover. Never read Sandman either so I have have no clue what its about.
Sandman is about stories. Fairy tales, historical tales, mythology, and nightmares. It's a little bit of everything.

X-Men #7
Fucking Karima Shapandar is a human again. How fucking pointless is that? Wood what the fuck, man. Omega Sentinel was such a bad bitch. But the new Lady Deathstrike is fucking awesome.
Sounds good, never heard anything bad about it in passing over the years either.
I was a bit underwhelmed by Harley Quinn #0. I knew that this was going to be "Deadpool-lite" going in, and while I do appreciate the suicide scene being removed and seeing the different artstyles were very fun, it was pretty hit or miss. Still, a self-jabbing book like this under the current DC is quite the miracle, and I'm still willing to give it a chance.
A Voice in the Dark #1 sucked me in pretty quickly, and had a very strong start. Funny enough, I usually don't care for Top Cow's stuff, but this looks like a gem in the making for me.
Afterlife with Archie continues to be really creepy and fun (and more than a bit icky in the beginning of issue 2 :/). Although,
.
Ben 10 #1 was...okay. It's more simplistic than I expected, but not straight-up terrible. Might give it another issue or two.

I really hope they didn't just introduce Nancy and Ginger's relationship, only to kill them off in that same scene, because that would be gross

I liked New Guardians. It's a fun book.

I'll be honest. I was thinking of dropping the book before this issue.
Then the story completely leaves the realm of small-scale... And that total transformation the main character undergoes at the end of the issue was rad as fuck
Yeah I like babs but I am open to reading anything.

Just read Three #1, really glad I picked it up. Ryan Kelly is doing some amazing work here and Gillen's postscript shows he put a lot of work into making this as accurate as possible. I'll save the next issue for later.

Yeah, I liked this quite a bit! And it was meaty at 36 pages. I appreciate these extra-sized premiere issues. And it's funny, I don't often like black humor unless it's just the right temperature and this managed to find that range for me.
Some of those imagined murders were pretty funny
I'm glad this exists and I'm excited for the next issue.
Edit: I bolded what I meant to spoiler tag. Pretty sweeeeet.

Anyone read Superior Spider-Man annual #1? The gloves arereally starting to come off wit h Superior Spider-Man.
It's almost starting to feel like the 90s edginess that was brought to comics like Azrael in Batman.

I did. This entire run feels like an extended "What if?". It's actually much more enjoyable when I treat it as if it's a self-contained story where SpOck is a thing, and all marvel heroes are stupid.
Odds are Knightfall was an inspiration for this arc.

I don't need to read the rest of my comics for the week to know that The Wake will probably be my book of the week. Each issue, Snyder beautifully crafted a world where one tiny thing was happening and left you guessing where it was going to go and this issue he pulled the curtains to unveil what could be an all out fantastic story. It went from a solid story with intrigue to a book where I absolutely can not wait til the next issue.
I honestly felt it has been one of his weaker books up until this point, it's all been set up so far.
If you feel that way now this month will blow your goddamn mind.

I really enjoyed it. Ben is right and the last issue falls a bit flat with some crappy art, but the series itself is very fun with the constant oneupmanship of the teams coming in. It's all very silly and worth a read I think.

Ah dude, stop buying C-grade cape books and get on Sandman immediately! It's time to start raising the bar of what 'good' means to you now.

Snyder is on a roll.
Batman is dope.
The Wake is dope.
Superman is okay.
and American Vampire...holy molly, I just can't wait for it.

Didn't read it yet but that's to be expected, really. I love SpOck but I sure don't want him running around "forever". This story needs to get an ending.
Also, lol at that preview for SSM #24. Confusing much?

Hopefully Snyder won't be exhausted with new ideas when he starts American Vampire.
I've only ever read Bruce stories. Any recommendations on good Dick stories?
Grant Morrison's run on Batman and Robin.
That's the book you guys were reading here recently? The black glove or something.
I wonder if amazon stocks the full Brubakers Catwoman run.

Black Mirror. Unlike Morrison's stuff it's self-contained.
