I'll not say a word unless it's requested via PM, and everyone else should do the same.
Origin is probably the closest thing to an explanation you'll find, but basically it's this:
his real name is James Howlett, but his biological father had the last name of Logan. After James avenged his false father by killing his real father and his mother committed suicide, Rose took the traumatized James and escaped the Howlett Estate for the Canadian frontier. When they signed up with a mining company, she gave his name as James Logan, and it's stuck with him.
yep. kinda yeah. spoilers are nuts

Getting a lot of PM requests, so...
I'm going to take this opportunity to remind everyone that you are NOT to discuss specifics of the Uncanny Avengers #14 spoilers, or any spoilers of leaked comics in this thread until Wednesday, and then to use spoiler tags when you do.

Alan Moore has such shitty opinions. Why does he keep talking about something he has no clue over and has shown absolutely no interest in learning about? He should stick to writing mediocre comics and shitty music. Moore's golden age has long been over.
Gotta.....hold on....until dcbs shipment comes next week.

I've been thinking about going that route... Is the money you save an acceptable trade-off for having to wait a week to discuss everything? It seems like a hard call to me.

You got to hold off to the end of the month to really save money, the only thing it's really done for me is add more to my pull list. Also, you have to know what you want two month in advance, which isn't that bad. Give it a trial run, packaging is awesome.

Yeah, I'm usually good about knowing what I want far in advance. Do they have a pull-list option? Because it would be tedious if I had to add everything individually for each month. As for the pacakaging, I order from InStockTrades pretty frequently, so I know they do very well with packaging their shipments.
that full month wait is only really brutal for spoilers, somewhat discussion but a month isn't too far behind to still feel relevant posting opinions.
Could be worse, I could be trades-gaf. There is a pull list option but i haven't used it for years, i take the tedious approach but i like adding each book individually. Last time i used the pull list function a year ago it added variants of my pull books as well, maybe they fixed it. DCBS sometimes lets you add books to your order even if you are past the deadline presuming they have them/can still order them, but dropping books is hard so sometimes you order too many issues of a book you'd rather drop.
the savings are great though, 2.39 for a marvel book including a digital code. As long as you buy more than 15 books a month the price is hard to beat even including once a month shipping.

He still cannot create mutants though. They are all awful. The brah from the latest issue...oh boy. Hopefully Fraction is up to the task with his Inhumans.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Moore is just being Moore. he's always been a cranky fuck who hates the genre, and any film adaptations of his work as well.
superhero films taking off and appealing to the public isn't new at all. Moore wrote watchmen in 1987. By then we'd already HAD Superman (1978), Superman II (1980), Superman III (1983) and Superman IV launched in 1987. (The less is said about supergirl [1984] the better)
Two years after that in 1989 we had burton's "Batman".
Moore is full of shit, knows it, and just likes to complain against "popular thing in the headlines."

Garth Ennis Dynamite Comics sale, including Red Team, Battlefields, Dan Dare, Jennifer Blood, and volume 1 of The Boys. Might pick up some Battlefields because it's apparently incredible stuff. I've only read the first volume of The Boys, but I liked it.
Also some free DC Digital First #1s, like Adventures of Superman, Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman 66, Smallville, etc.
yeah there are points to be made like the graphic novel one and the fact that superheroes dominate but the rest is... yeah.

That's because the Marvel Unlimited reading app sucks balls (at least on Android). That's what it does on my full ASUS 10" tablet too.
It's really unfortunate, because Unlimited is a great deal. But both their web browser reading interface and the Android app are just plain bad. They need to get some better programmers or something.

Jennifer Blood ends after issue #6 even if there are issues after it. Trust me.
Are there points to be made? Why is Superheroes dominating a bad thing? Isn't that just the market proving itself true? People can rage against the machine all they want and cry out for their indie darlings, but if the bulk of sales go the way of capes it's probably because that is what they want.

Sent. Again, no discussion of specifics until tomorrow and remember to use spoiler tags.
EDIT: Also, I have only received ONE private message about the best comics of November for the new "Champions" segment of the OT. So congrats, lone voter, your books are the clear frontrunners for the month's best.

Some variety would be nice, is all. There are other genres aside from the standard capes, and probably to the public eye, comics = capes. People defend lack of branching out from what sells, but I feel like the industry is weak enough to where it doesn't have to always cater to the same demographic, and is probably weaker for it. Also people continue to buy shit because of characters and brands and all that shit. Don't think it really means much.
It's kinda whatever to me, but like I tells, points n shit. even if Moore is a cranky old dude.
Who moved to Philly and Oklahoma? Any extensive knowledge I have of the Marvel U is of it circa 1994/95.
From what I can tell, there are tons of indie and creator-owned comics that are not typical superhero stuff?
Or are you saying it has to be Marvel/DC who do it?
