Why do you do this to yourself?
Honestly, I don't know. I like Selina Kyle, I keep hoping that they'll finally wake the fuck up and not write a terrible story. Though to be fair to me, I didn't end up buying the last few months and just reading a friends copy. So I probably won't buy this months either.

Maybe it was just a fever dream I had but isn't someone else taking over Catwoman in the near future?

The Lantern titles have actually been really good lately. Even Red Lanterns has been rising to the Heavens.

I've got to agree with you specially on Red Lanterns. Soule is killing there.

I could see why people wouldn't like the mainline GL title as much (albeit I still enjoy it). Hal is sort of douchey at the moment. But it has understandable reasons. It feels organic.
Red Lanterns and New Guardians are feeling much fresher. Yeah they've been part of the new world building but it feels like they have their own paths now.
But my opinion is obviously biased. Take it for what you will.

Like, Sinestro Corps/Rebirth good or "Hey this is better than that Chinese Take Out menu someone left in a bike spoke down the block so, wow, great for DC"?

Not on that level, but most of Johns run can't compare to those two.
It's fresh.

Yeah, that's what's really been disappointing to me in New 52-land. That GL run, 52, Teen Titans, Infinite Crisis, those are still some of my favorite books/runs in any comic ever. And I bought everything when New 52 started, EVERYTHING (some of you may remember). And just taking his Justice League as an example, man. Everything I dug about the guy's stuff is completely gone.
Maybe it was the fact that he revitalized old continuity in a really great way (Remender-esque?) and now that that continuity has been eradicated, he's lost his stuff?
I don't know. All I know is it's a hollow and sad experience reading his books now.

Yup. The latest storyline, aside from being drawn impeccably by Declan Shalvey, shows the book carrying Remender's torch of treating the character as an actual character, not a punch line, which I did not at all expect from Duggan and Poehsen.

Deadpool actually gets a lot better after the presidents stuff. !!
The arc with the dead shirked agent is great also the t one with cap and wolverine as well
Plus dat 70's issue is comic of the year material

I bought the 70s issue randomly in a store over the summer in the US because of the cover.

I just read the Chris Sims Marvel/DC piece. Really, really well written. Makes me want to dig out Marvel Comics: The Untold Story again. Comics Alliance is the best comics site by miles at times.
Here it is if you missed it.

It's a really good book, it's everything people say they want out of a Deadpool book.

I just dont understand why Marble switches out artist on books. Im not talking about accelerated shipping schedules, but they will flip two art teams on two different books. Garney was perfect.
I dont think I will be continuing the X Force saga with Si Spurrier. Brah is too verbose with his company comics.

I have to admit, I'm kind of curious to see how Marrow is going to pan out. I thought she was forever relegated to obscurity at this point. I may check it out for a few issues.

Yup, almost every new book is 3.99 now, i griped in the last solicits were mostly 3.99.
Mind the Gap through issue #6: Getting enjoyable, but there's even less plot to grab onto than Morning Glories, we're running on mystery fumes here.
Revival through issue #7: Definitely crazier than i expected, mostly liking it. Seeley's done a good job throwing different things into the book.

At least Image is trying to be a bit subtle about it and hitting $3.50 first.
Is there any possibility that this Black Science book will be a letdown for some of you?
I only started reading comics a couple months ago, with some great starting tips and points from GAF! Really enjoying the hobby now. Just wondering if any of yall have ever been letdown by a hyped brand-new comic haha.

Nah, if anything some sort of Stockholm Syndrome like with what happened with Saga.
But the spiritual successor to Fear Agent cannot fail. Hopefully the art team stays the same. Moore was always the better fit on Fear Agent.

That sounded insane at first, but it might be possible. I like Saga. Loved the first two arcs, but if we're being honest, it's been getting less enjoyable with the last few issues.
Haha cool, the art looks awesome from the previews, and I really like the dark space setting.
I'm sure some people will be let down by it. I'm excited for it but I've tempered my expectations. From what I remember of reading Fear Agent it didn't get going for me until near the end of the first tpb. I'll be giving Black Science the same time to impress unless that first issue is really disastrous.
TAKE IT BACK
PLEASEif we are truly honest, the story has gone nowhere this arc. But I am giving them the benefit of the doubt for now.

It is a possibility, but really what it comes down to is getting to know a writers track record. Most of the books I read are by writers that I'm familiar with. It's kind of a safe way to collect but sometimes I miss out on a series. Now I kind of let GAF steer me towards some books like Zero and Three. I wasn't even collecting Image titles until this month.
I hate when this happens because I have to stay off twitter >_<
