Nevah.
He's currently doing black widow in which you should read right now!!!
Black Widow's pretty good if you wanna be sad all the time.
The Beechen run was great fun, everything after that was meh. The new writer tried to take it in another direction that wasn't all that fun, it was good just not a must read like Beechen's was.

It's why she gets along so well with Matt.

Have you read any of the 2.0 stuff? Just asking because I read the original run + unlimited but nothing 2.0 which I know is once again a new creative team.

Yeah, Beechen did a solid job on Beyond. The series was great when there were full issues coming out monthly. The segmented digital-first chapters thing was obnoxious, but the stories were still fun.
Then Kyle Higgins came in and Higgins'd the book hard and turned it into shit.
We won't have to worry about no one voting for the second issue.

Read all of it. Batman Beyond 2.0 and Justice League Beyond 2.0 are just as good story wise. Fully explore that rabbit hole.

Catching up on backlog. MPH, kindergarten politics aside, is kind of delightful.
Lol that book was our equivalent of a one night stand.
It's on its way. That was one of the first books I read when I got back into comics. It's incredible.

Not yet. Probably going to add it to next week's IST order along with Just the Tips and Revival HC2.
Speaking of... I read this week's New Avengers last night.... Am I crazy or didn't we just get a new issue of NA last week?

Matt's happy now tho
Digital ComicsGAF, I need some advice. I'm looking to get a tablet for reading comics and other tablet things. Are there any models you particularly recommend? I was leaning towards either the Nexus 9 or the Samsung Tab S for its 11" screen. The Samsung Tab is closest in size to an actual comic page, but I'm afraid it is going to be too heavy or unwieldy. I read some comics on my dad's iPad mini which is 8" and that was ok for the most part, though some text looked crushed.

I was looking at the Lazarus cover today when I was inspecting my books, and something seems weird about the art on the front cover. She looks like some kind of rough 3D Art.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5'' is great for comics, it's incredibly light and the screen is gorgeous ( AMOLED). Only downside i had was production quality especially the all plastic casing. For that reason i ended up returning my weirdo tab s and got an ipad air 2....so far my complaints are a pinkish tint to the screen and it gets warm on the right side.
this was my comparison between comic, galaxy tab s 10.5, and ipad 3 for size.
Yep, it was my favorite comic of 2012. It feels like I've been waiting for the hardcover to come out forever.

One is 4:3 and the other is 16:9. A bit more rez on the galaxy, same ppi as the n9 tho.
Hrm, they're pretty much tied in price.
Guess i'd go with the tab S solely for the sd slot. Would put cyano in it as soon as it is available, tho.
The galaxy tab s is only 50g heavier, so i doubt you'll feel any weight difference.
the 8.5 tab s is 100g lighter than the nexus 9, fwiw.

What comic is that? Secret Avengers?
Yep.
Also, i don't think it's common for the ipad air 2 to have a pinkish tint from what i've read, but it is common for screens to have tints. My ipad 3 blue itself.

Owen Freeman does the covers and I think he did the one on the HC. It looks like he does this photorealism art. Check out his blog.
Wow.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm extremely impressed by Amazon's shipping.
Firstly, I just got Strangers in Paradise in the mail, just two days after I ordered it, and I had the standard free shipping, not Prime. So that's one thing that impressed me.
The thing that impressed me even more though was that it was actually shipped VERY safely.
You really tell from this picture, but the comics were essentially suspended in midair (well, the slipcase is touching the cardboard that it's being squeezed up against) by this weird stretchy shrink-wrap-type plastic that was connected to that cardboard structure inside the box. So basically the comics didn't move an inch throughout the whole shipment and were kept absolutely flawless. I gotta say, that's some IST-level shipping, Amazon. I hope that becomes a norm (although I'm guessing it was just because it was a giant 2200 page slipcased comic).
Oh, and the Strangers in Paradise slipcase is a pretty gorgeous product, by the way.

That is amazing, I wish Amazon would put that much care into all their shipping.
Awesome. Great pickups! Especially Preacher.
I'm so excited for tomorrow. I haven't had any free time the past few days and tomorrow I have a day off, so I'm very much looking forward to reading a ton of Preacher volume 5, which covers my favorite Preacher arc.
Seriously. I was shocked and amazed. I knew something was up when nothing was shaking around inside the box. Haha

But hey Zombine, i ordered the iZombie trades to check it out among a slew of other stuff.

Ordered seconds, Manhattan Projects HC (my first double dip) Hellblazer and some manga.
Thing I like about Saga is no dust jacket. The Sixth Gun pulled this off beautiful.

I am finally back on track with Preacher too, with getting the third volume.Awesome. Great pickups! Especially Preacher.

Most of the new Image HC's don't do dust jackets.
And they are better for it. Image hardcovers are a thing of beauty.
I like how Nova is being treated in the crossovers so I'm fine with it. I want to see how the other heroes treat him after what he's done during AXIS.
I think a 16:10 (maybe also 3:2) aspect ratio would be best for comics. So, probably the Kindle, Galaxy, and Surface tablets would be the best bet for full page reading.

What manga you get brah?
I think the biggest book I got this weekend was that Attack On Titan Titan Edition Manga from Amazon. They were cheaper than IST, and the 30% off took $10 off the price so I got it for $30.

What is Gene Ha working on currently?
Edit: And Top 10 covers mention both Gene Ha and Zander Cannon on art. How do multiple artists split up the work?

Brubaker's Daredevil really ain't cutting the mustard. First arc on ryker's was fine, but everything after that so far..... eh. Milla in trouble again. Matt in emo rage again³.
Really no variety. Just a weaker rehash of bendis's run.
Welp, girl just got commited to the asylum. Here's hoping it improves.

Multiversity guidebook preview: so the Earth One OGNs are now officially on the same Earth, even though this doesn't really fit the actual books at all? And putting Chaykin's Elseworlds takes on preexisting DCU characters (Thrillkiller, Twilight) in the same universe as his own DCU creations (Iron-Wolf) seems kinda arbitrary. Oh well, still can't wait for this.
