You... you're all dead to me. I checked the previous issue artists' and after Steve Epting, Mike Deodato, Simon Bianchi, Rags Morales, Valerio Schitti... Kev Walker is terrible. Salvadore Larocca would have been divine but no... they just had to use him on a book I'll never buy (Wolverines).

Are you sure that some of you aren't mixing him up with Declan Shalvey (Moon Knight)? Now that guy is aces.

Nope brah.

Go read Thunderbolts when he drew it. It was fucking fantastic.

The run with Cage/Songbird/Juggs/Moonstone and such.

Great book. And Walker is great.

Wow, Gotham by Midnight was seriously awesome. Perfect team for this book. Going on the book of the month considerations.

I'm so glad to hear Gotham by Midnight is good. It seems riiight up my alley. I'm all over this when it hits the trades.

My suspicions were right, today was the last issue of Manhatttan Projects. I blame Kipp. :(

Not really, it's relaunching in March as Manhattan Projects: The Sun Beyond the Stars
Click to expand...

I'm the worst ever, confirmed.

But any idea what the reason is for the relaunch and what kind of relaunch it will be? Like, is it just essentially a new story arc, or is it a whole new set of characters in the same universe? Or do we have no idea yet?

Comics were good this week, Gotham by Midnight really stood out. ODY-C was interesting but definitely gonna trade wait that going forward, gotta feeling it'll read much better that way. I bid farewell to Manhattan Projects, the best 25 issues of a comic ever.

AvX is okay. It's a pretty typical big Marvel event, has some good art and action but is pretty lacking in depth. The most important part of it (Scott killing Charles) is recounted so many times in the follow-up books that I don't know if it's worth it just for reading the story.

No more huge ensemble cast and smaller, tighter arcs focused on only a couple of characters. I have a thought on where it's headed though, and if right it will be amazing.

How awesome would it be if last Hawkeye issue turned out to be the redrawn finale of Immortal Iron Fist:Seven Capital Cities of Heaven arc

I'd finally see my dream come true, Iron Fist punching a kung fu train as drawn by Aja ;_;

Ah, cool. Wherever Hickman's going with it, I'm sure it'll be fantastic!

So were those 25 issues a complete, contained story then? Or was it left very open-ended?

It would be great if the next hardcover had 11-25, because I don't think I can wait that long. Fuckin' fiendin' for some more Manhattan Projects over here.

So my birthday is next month and I'm going to ask my parents and siblings to help chip in for a new tablet so I can join Digital Comics-GAF.

I guess I've narrowed it down between iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9, as far as comics apps and screen quality though is there a clear winner between the two, or you guys think it will just be down to my personal preference?
Click to expand...

Sorry to quote myself - but anyone have anything particularly good or bad to say about either tablet? I'll probably pick it up this weekend.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.

Superior has a great end, New Warriors just sort of wobbles out a bit sadly sobbing "I wanted more time". Scarlet Spiders was overwritten crap. Poetic narration boxes? Stay at home, scrub.

New Avengers didn't sell me on its twist at all. Like, it doesn't even make chronological sense to me anymore. I think people are just happy stuff is actually happening again so they'll overlook a lot of asspulls.

Good to hear about Foes, sad about New Warriors :(

I flipped through Scarlet Spiders at the shop and decided not to buy it. I wouldn't want a Kaine book without Yost anyways.

Ody-C is flawless. The world building on the first page made BKV's Saga universe look like Humbero Ramos art
amateurish at best.

That fucking spread my dudes, dear god.

Space Ladies, God Ladies, Intersex Ladies, Intersex Space God Ladies, Badass battles,
a gimp
and more.

I need to read that again right now. It's better than Sandman Overture.

No new comics for me today, brehs. Fuck snow. I'll grab my books on Friday or something. There were only four or five this week, so it's not a huge letdown. Need Catwoman, Trees, and ODY-C, mostly.

Lol we live pretty close to one another and that snow is not bad. People are freaking out and it's hardly sticking. It'll only get slippery in an hour when it gets darker out.

Cheapest place to get trades in the UK? Or shipped to the UK?
Click to expand...

Bookdepository is really good, since there's free shipping on everything. Downside for me is that it can take long for some books to arrive, but you're in the UK so that shouldn't even be an issue. They ship each book seperately though.

It's more of a matter of me being home, and not wanting to drive in snow at all. I'm sure I could handle it, but I'm not gonna make a 25-minute drive for 5 books.

Yeah, my shop is in basically the central shopping district for the area. That's what the suburbs are like, yo.

I think 2015 is going to be the year I go all-digital. Except for video games, because fuck downloading 40GB. I just need to find the right tablet.
