Have you read East of West at all?
I recently read through the first volumes of EoW and MP, and couldn't decide what was better. Hickman is on top of his game and has another creator owned book coming out in January. Dude is a monster along with his Marvel stuff.
Probably my favorite writer right now.
We can make our own OT where we only discuss stuff like browsing cheap real estate for fun and going to the zoo and jobs. We'll call it "Private Message |OT| Please respect the privacy. We're going on honor system here."
They start pretty good though. Course by the end, you realize the whole thing was just a bad idea.
Man, that new Mignola Hellboy avatar I'm really excited about is on my desktop and I've been on my laptop all day so I haven't gotten to change it yet. I could turn on my desktop, but that'd be so much work.
I have not! I was thinking about picking up the OHC if/when it comes out but couldn't get a good sense of what people thought about it.
I'm glad to hear you like it just as much as MP though! I definitely like the premise of EoW and I like Dragotta's art a lot, so I'll very likely pick it up sometime.

It was surprisingly good. Marvel seems to do well in creating youth team books but they never seem to last. It's a shame
let's read a comic and report back our findings instead. I choose Ms. Marvel #9 for me, GO!
They need to destroy something during these events...might as well make it the new kids.
PS: I didn't vote again...I haven't read Harley yet...I only get my books twice a month!
Sooooooooo, I posted this in the OCTOBER 2013 THREAD by mistake. I was wondering why Messi posted his awkward Olivia Wilde gif right after. Jesus, don't know how the hell I managed to do that. I think I googled "Neogaf comics october" (forgetting that it's november) instead of searching on Gaf and clicked the first thing I saw. Oops.
Anyways, what do you guys think of Marvel Unlimited? I think it seems like a good deal, but I'm not sure how I feel about it being digital. Anyone here use it and have any thoughts on it?

Never used it personally, but it's a great deal if you're cool with the 6 month wait.
Oh, I didn't realize there was a 6 month delay. I'm not up to date AT ALL, but if I can't also get new books with the sub then I'd rather just buy physical collections of the runs I missed. Thanks for the info.

Give it a trial run by gifting yourself a month, so you don't get auto renewed if you don't like it. It's not perfect but if you want to speed through some runs (that are available) it is worthwhile. It's not a complete library by any means so some runs will be missing some issues.

One issue in, and she only showed up in the last two pages, so we'll see.
Huh. I didn't even realize it had started yet, but I just saw the date for the first one so it caught me off guard. Seems pretty interesting based off Thor being female alone, so I might grab the 1st and 2nd issue when it comes out and see if I like it.
I picked up the new Marvel Legends set from Target a few days ago. Cap is better than expected even though he's just a repaint of a figure that was heavily packed a few series ago.
Better color scheme on this one and he doesn't have the ugly thigh holster left over from the Toybiz Punisher body years ago.
Ms. Marvel is just a straight repaint of the Moonstone figure from the SDCC Thunderbolts box set a few years back but is a very welcome addition to the display. She's definitely getting replaced by the current costume version they are putting out in a few months though.
Radioactive Man is the real selling point of the set as the figure was shown a while ago and then pushed back when the Jubilee Build-A-Figure wave changed to an all X-Men set for Toys R Us. I'm not sure if casting him in clear plastic was the way to go, so I've been adding some green washes to him to bring out the detail and repainting the eyes.
Target should have them out on shelves now for 50.00. They've been available online for a bit but probably better to get one in person as there's some inconsistencies in the paint around the sides of Ms. Marvel's uniform and the boot tops.
Hopefully they can find a wave to put the Batroc and Tiger Shark that were shown along with Radioactive Man in one of the Avengers 2 sets.

The 2nd issue should give some insight to the tone of the book. I'm hopeful, though. A female Thor seems like it could be interesting. I expect they'll draw out the mystery of who she is, but they've confirmed that it's someone who Thor has saved in the past.
Ms. Marvel #9: I don't really like the direction the story has taken, mainly the introduction of wolverine into the book for two issues to fight a giant croc, then a giant robot, both inventions by ...The Inventor, who really isn't that interesting to begin with. Kamala's parents are always scared for her and complainy, her friend is always friendzoned and worried about her, there's just a lack of a certain compelling dynamic to this book ever since
Random score of 6/10, bonus points for the art.
How does Comics-GAF feel about Ms. Marvel going forward? After 9 issues, do you think its developed well?
she was shot by by her friend's cousin/brother/guy.

The only problem with statues is that they are expensive and I don't have room for more of them That's where people posting lots of pictures of their statues comes in.

Short version: Korupt tried to break away and the ComicGAF oligarchy did not allow it.
I think a lot of the characters are very one-dimensional except for Kamala. She has a lot of layers but they're being peeled away so slowly. It's still a fun read but I'm not expecting much of it at this point.

ahhh, Suicide Squad. I was doing a read through of the Ostrander stuff a few months back and I got derailed by SDCC and other things. I need to get back on the train, I was using Michel Fiffe's Reading List, and I stopped at the Invasion parts, featuring early Todd Macfarlane art. This list also includes early Rob Liefeld and Erik Larsen stuff as well. None of them hold a candle to Luke McDonnell yet though
10 is like my favorite issue so far, it's dope. I think that made my Desert Island list
I agree with the first part, disagree HARD on the second part. Once the movie with Channing Tatum comes out, people will realize.
Russell Dauterman slays on the book, but #1 was basically a #0 issue. I'm gonna buy it in trades i think

Just you guys wait for GA(F)XIS, where ViewtifulJC posts weekly Liefeld pages, Sillymonkey can't stop expressing his love for DC and I try to convince Messi to read Star Jammers.

I'm wondering that myself, and I've read all five issues. XD
I'm gonna give it a couple more issues, then I'll drop it if it doesn't wow me by then.
Last two issue didn't "wow" you?
Shit man I can't imagine what Gillen must burn again to lit your hype then. I'll just drop the book if that kind of "tryhard" didn't make impression to me lol

Well the 3 console collection is complete. Snagged a Xbox one SO bundle. Feel free to add me on XBLA. Gamer tag:TheDarkKnight
Kind of proud I got that gamer tag when XBL was created
In other news I bought translucid #2-5 and teen dog #1 in the CMX Boom comics sale. Hope they're good

This Baba Yaga creature seems to be haunting me. She turned up with her chicken leg house in Hellboy (which I was reading last month). Then she turned up in my Sandman re-read last week. Went to watch John Wick and everyone refers to him as Baba Yaga in the movie. Then I re-read Fables 3 yesterday, and there she is again.
If I stop posting, you know what happened.

Daylight Savings kinda fucked me up, its suppose to be 7:18 damnit. I feel the strange urge to post Greg Land comics
I'm praying for you, man
So how far are you into the hardcover? There is so much cool shit that goes down in those first ten issues, but I don't want to accidentally spoil anything for you. Oppenheimer is one of the most delightfully twisted characters in that book. The issues that focus on him are some of my favorites in the series, especially issue 20. Hopefully the second hardcover comes out next year so you and Filthy Slug (and whoever else checked out the hardcover) don't have to wait forever between releases.
