I see that Outcast #5 drops next week. Anybody reading that? I sorta forgot about it.

Also, it'll be another week with no Avengers/New Avengers, not even East of West. Hickman, my Wednesdays miss you awfully.

I'm so confused about that Secret Wars thing. I don't understand what kind of story Hickman is going for at all. But hey, he'll probably pull it off whatever it is.

Also, I'm gonna be honest, it's kinda nice being away from the computer for 5 hours and not having to read through 4 pages of ComicsGAF thread to get caught up. Although I do wonder how much good conversation I miss in the IRC chat.

I'm reading Outcast. Im really enjoying it and one of the few horror comics to actually creep me out.

Did you ever post your write-up on Zero Year?

I'm sorry. It's my fault. I was sleeping. Or at work? I'm too lazy to work out what the middle of the night was for you in your time zone.

It's OK. I am just having trouble keeping up with all this deep dc comics discussion.

No, it has turned into a gigantic thing about recent Batman stories (ZY, Batman & Two-Face, Icarus), though will mostly still be a critique on ZY. just need to finish Icarus and then I'll get it wrapped up. Glad someone took note and is keeping an eye out for that!

At present I am trying to drag myself through the end of The Iron Nail/The Bitter March and it's kind of a slog, you guys weren't kidding.

Give it time. It's only been a day since this week's comics came out. Stuff like Future's End takes a while to digest

I can't get over you going to bed at like 7:30

Not sure what to make of Secret Wars either but I also haven't been reading Hickman's stuff. Hopefully it ends up being good at least

I had to wake up at 2:50am! Give me a break!
Though I go to sleep at 8:30 on the nights before my days off too, so I don't really have an excuse.

And yeah, I'm curious to know if that video makes any more sense to the people who've been reading Hickman's Avengers, because to me it seems like it couldn't be anything but silly.

I have no idea what is going on in that Secret Wars video. I have no idea what this event is going to be. I just want Marvel to give us an X-Men'92 ongoing.

Its a Event Crossover. They dont rehash.


Cool Idea that Battleworld thing. Would have prefered a Edge of Marvel Multiverse Series...

Man, I've really been craving some Moench/Jones Batman lately. I need to pick up that hardcover soon.

Has anyone bought a copy of The Incal recently? I'd really like to get it, and IST has it... but I'm not sure if it's at a size I'd be happy with. This would be perfect:

But that looks like the oversized deluxe edition that is still out of print. Bleh.

It isn't very large but it is larger than normal TPBs. Here's a comparison with the Fear Agent Library edition (which is the same size as DC's Absolute editions).

What kind of incentives are companies like Boom, IDW, Vertigo offering creative teams to not take their stuff to Image. Seems like Image will publish just about anything.

Well, I know IDW's big thing is their licenses. I have no idea about other publishers though. I was thinking about that too when I found out that Morrison's Annihilator was published by Legendary. I have no idea why he went with them. I can't imagine a different publisher wouldn't be all over it if they were given the opportunity.
I'd love to hear from a writer who's had things published by a few non-Big-Two publishers about that situation.

my friends wanted interstellar first. I wanted to wait and get a ticket for 70mm imax but we're going to a crummy AMC theatre instead.

gonna try to get out to see BH6 on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Big Hero 6 is probably going to be first, easier to take the kid to an animated movie than a three-hour epic that I've seen compared to Solaris...she's a trooper but that seems a stretch. As soon as we can arrange a date night we will see Interstellar at the Alamo Drafthouse. I'm excited for both.

Thor #2 Preview! This is so exciting :D
Click to expand...

Ahaha, love it! Though this also implies that
Freyja is not Thor

Been a little absent for the past few days :( My mom went to Italy for a few weeks, so I've been trying to go over to my parent's house more often to help my dad and brothers. However, I was still able to read my Wednesday comics :D

Tooth & Claw was indeed amazing. Love the world they're building, and I'm already a sucker for anthromorphic animals. Bull Terrier looking protagonist? SURE! Excellent writing and artwork, couldn't have been more pleased with a first issue. Even got a giggle out of the little snippet about Busiek and co. talking about collaborating on this project.

Velvet continues to impress. Just can't get over how much of a badass she is, and how drawn in I am her story.

Line in the sand, Phillips and Epting?

Epting for me!

Count me in for more Gotham Academy as well! I just want to know what the hell happened to Olive!!
