The cool thing is it requires no previous knowledge of anything at all. 100% stand alone.

You guys make Multiversity-Tradewaiting an awful experience
I'd tell you to just man up and buy the individual issues, but, if the situation at my FLCS in any way reflects the rest of the world, then you might already be too late...

Could always buy the issues online or off of Comixology.

I just flipped through it at the shop and thought "oh wow, Quitely really outdid himself" before adding it to the stack. I should hope it's standalone or I'll be disappointed.
All the focus on Laurel is killing this show for me. She's so bad.

Ooh, my B&N order arrived. Fearless Defenders doesn't seem to be in great condition, but more in a way that I'm inclined to pin it on Marvel than on B&N.
I read my All-Star Western trade today. Man, this is great. Love Hex and Arkham. The Barbary Ghost story was great, too. I don't take it that Arkham will be appearing in the series from here on out?
Also read the first two chapters of Watchmen. Man, Comedian is horrible, but he's so fascinating, too.

You are in for such a treat
Is this issue of Supergirl the one where she gets a new outfit too? I know someone mentioned a new team on the book, but wasn't sure if that meant new get up too.

that's what Image first volumes are for!
Just got an email from Panel Syndicate (the site BKV and Marcos Martin use to put out The Private Eye):
"Panel Syndicate is honored to announce our second new series, UNIVERSE!, from the fearless mind of award-wining writer/artist Albert Monteys. Readers in Spain are already very familiar with Albert's brilliant and hilarious work in the satirical EL JUEVES, where he served as director and contributor until bravely stepping down after the magazine's owners refused to publish a cover about the King of Spain. We're very proud to help introduce Albert to the rest of the world with his best work yet, an ongoing series of self-contained (but cleverly connected) sci-fi stories. Like all pay-what-you-want comics hosted by Panel Syndicate, 100% of any and all profits go directly to the creator, so we hope you'll donate with confidence and help fund the next installment of a comic that's completely unlike anything being published anywhere else in the universe.

"When Wortham Industries mild-mannered employee, Thomas Marrot is called in to Mr.Wortham's office (dead since 3012), little does he know he's about to experience the adventure of a lifetime... literally! Get ready for THE PAST IS NOW!"
Issue 1 is now available for immediate download at panelsyndicate.com where you can also find all issues of Brian K.Vaughan and Marcos Martin series "THE PRIVATE EYE".

Firs 3 pages of pax American belong in a museum or something
Quitely was on another level in Pax. Just crazy.
In other news, kinda disappointed in the Animated Bats figure. I figured it wouldn't stand on its own as it was, but on the whole it feels kinda fragile. And there were like 7 on the shelf at my LCS, and all of them had some sort of paint/scratch issue. Just felt kinda cheap overall.

I looked through the entire Image section and couldn't really find anything I wanted that I didn't have.

Pax Americana #1:
It's freaking gorgeous.
But I don't have a clue what it was about.
Yeah...
Spider-Woman #1:
Uuuuuuuuuuuugh.
Why. I should control myself better.

That and just this "mystery" has been terrible and tonight's episode looks awful
EDIT: Messi liking Laurel is literally the least surprising thing

Spider-Woman was about as bad as Pax Americana was good.
Going back to the Sarge/Robot Arms/Nora stuff in Pax
Sarge is the metal hand guy, the one who kills the scientists and smacks the shit out of Peacemaker (using only his metal left hand). I think the one who actually kills her though is the guy the Question later electrocutes, the one who says he's working for Sarge. Who works for the VP
Why? idk lol
Why? idk lol
I hate her sister if it is any consolation.
The only characters better than Sara are Slade and based Diggle.
Finding reaction gifs is harder than I assumed it would be, especially considering how often people are looking disapproving at each other in this show. Tumblr wants to do nothing but post Felicity gifs.

I love how grant just decided to take a break from his universe ending saga to just make an awesome comic.
The only characters better than Sara are Slade and based Diggle.
Laurel, Felicity, Slade, Ollie
That order.

I don't have to do that very often, but when I do I'll usually just pick a publisher and sort by price. Then I look at the dirt-cheap books.

I think that actually makes it worse
I just can't stand the actress.
I just started watching the fourth episode of Constantine. This episode is based on the first two issues of Hellblazer. The story told in the first two issues of Hellblazer was masterful. This episode is not.
I really wish Constantine would just do its own thing and use the comic as inspiration rather than trying to copy it. Partly because it's just going to fall short if it does that, but mostly because I don't want to spoil the comic by watching the TV show. Haha

I found some decent annotations already
of COURSE you can track her movements to a figure 8 across the two pages
Here's a link to few preview pages of Universe! #1 (written and drawn by Albert Monteys)... I'll write up a little mini-review after I read it. Just like The Private Eye, it's pay-what-you-want (meaning even Kipp can afford it).

that is kind of obvious. its the whole figure 8 thing you know
Oh man, that looks really great. I'll definitely check that out sometime soon.
I really hope they put out physical versions of these Panel Syndicate comics.
Wait. What. It seriously reads backwards and makes sense?

Stupid manga getting in my comics thread... *sarcastic grumble*
A lot of obvious stuff here but some nice bits (I've only read bits of Promoethea so I didn't catch the jabs at that) with a fairly convincing reading of what Sarge/the Vice President are up to I think
Only gone through the full issue twice so far but it's taken a good 25 minutes each time. I LOVE how those first few pages teaches you how to read the comic: first forwards, and then backwards
