Currently reading through Wolverine by Greg Rucka Ultimate Collection.
Really enjoying it and the art is fine. Darick Robertson is the artist for the final arc, and I remember enjoying it a lot last time I read it.
I like how it doesn't have a lot of characters in it, which helps appreciate the characters that are on focus. Rucka writes a really good

Sabretooth too

If this is your definition of stale, you should run away and never look back, because there's no possible way you're ever going to be happy. What is the tone or genre or style you're looking for that isn't represented in the current lineup that would actually have a place at a publisher like Marvel? They haven't had a lineup this diverse since they were putting out books like G.I. Joe, Barbie, Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, and Groo, and even then, their superhero stuff was so homogenous that I don't even think those off-kilter licensed books made for a lineup as varied overall as what we see today. If you look at this and think "stale", that's about you, not Marvel.

excellent post. there's a lot of surprising stuff coming out of ANAD.

My goodness, I bought the Low Vol 2 trade. This book is so beautiful in physical format. It's gonna slay in OHC.

 

[Freezasaurus]

That book has unexpected tiger boobies in it.

But only the first issue. There's a definite lack of tiger boobs in the issues that follow. I don't know if the comics community can tolerate this.

I didn't, I dropped it after issue 2. I did buy the trade tho.

Does All-New Wolverine stand on its own? I've read a few reviews and taken in the impressions here and it sounds interesting. I'm just not keen on the current direction of the X-books from what Extraordinary X-Men #1 implied.

Bring on Vader Down! Vader was good again. Nice little conclusion to lead into the cross over.

I'm annoyed, I spaced out Vader Down event,, I see Star Wars: Vader Down #1 comes out 11/18

Is there a list of these Vader Down event books ??

---------------------------------------

Carmine Infantino Batman and Robin B&W statues.

They aren't jumping of the shelves at me or anything,, but I like the Robin mainly because idk if ive seen a B&W Robin

Following this thread as a trade-waiting Walking Dead reader is not easy.

Following this thread as mainly a DCBS sub. is hard,, couple weeks behind.

I found this website really useful for collecting TPB's and hardcovers in a read order listing very helpful. It's all Marvel based and much more than just X-Men based as the link suggests.

Does anyone know if there are any websites or blogs that do the same for DC comics?

What other books has he drawn?

Kelly Sues second run on Captain Marvel most recently.

No wonder no one knew what books he worked on.

I'm looking to pick up a 10" tablet for Xmas for using with Marvel Unlimited. Can anyone shed some light on getting MU to work on the Amazon Fire 10? I know they don't offer the app but they do have Comixology and I read that you could link your Marvel account to Comixology.

I'm also looking at two Samsung tabs, the Galaxy A and Galaxy E.

Any recommendations/advice would be appreciated.

Dip into a TV show OT just once and realize why I'm totally okay with never popping into one again.

Flash OT is pretty good, if a tad odd. Arrow and Supergirl are filled with people who hatewatch, which is not great. AoS peeps are kinda defensive, but other than that they're okay.

Aside from Jason Aaron's Wolverine runs, what were the best series that had Sabretooth?

 

[Lashley]

Daaaaaaamn


It was one issue. Chill. Uncanny Inhumans #0 set up everything for this. The art is not helping this book, though.

Nothing about it interested me. I find the Inhumans boring enough as it is.

Comixology will sync your purchases through the MU app, but it doesn't allow you to use the subscription service (for shame, as MU's app sucks).

You can just about get a version of MU to sideload but it's extremely unstable on the KF10. I wouldn't rely on it working.

So with that in mind the Galaxy devices would be better. Also, as much as there are plenty of issues with the Nexus 9, there have been some crazy discount sales on it recently and you may be able to pick one up very cheaply.

I wish more people read that book. I really loved it.

I watched a pretty good mavs clippers game but I missed out on true greatness. Also, you're shrinking down actors and keeping them, might as well put them in glass jars like Braniac.

My Top 5 for the week....

1. The Wicked + The Divine
2. Starfire
3. Southern Bastards
4. Infinity Gauntlet
5. Secret Wars

 

[whatsinaname]

Thinking on it a bit more, I can't really articulate why I enjoyed Fear Agent but took such a dislike to the main character/narrative of Black Science.

And maybe it's just me but there also seems to be an increased audience for the "shocking death! you don't know who dies next! and how!" kind of writing in comics and manga and tv. Can't really say I enjoy that much.

Thanks! I'd prefer the Samsung over Kindles. Both will be aroun the same price as the Fire on Black Friday.

I rather liked the first issue of the Superman mini-series. Especially the last two pages

Spoiler

going into Ma and Pa Kent's past. So, Martha was pregnant up until a car wreck, losing the baby, and then she has to keep popping all the meds cause of the accident? Poor Martha, lol.

I always liked seeing stuff on Clark's parents and his younger years...Should find more comics that delve into that, lol. I've always been intimated about finding Superman stuff to read for god knows what reason. It's not like I have this problem with Batman.

And yeah, that Aja copying in Hawkeye is real weak. I was excited about the idea of that new comic at first, but I tried a few issues and...nope. And the "All New" edition is just the same crap.

Spoiler

Hate how Clint and Kate are at each other's throats all the time now. Previous character development doesn't matter, nope... The worst part is their spats aren't even clever like they were under Fraction. And Clint talks like someone Kate's age as an old man. Sure...

Black Science OHC this month?

 

[Boogiepop]

So, I guess I'll say "good enough" to Amazon this time. Though the packaging was poor, the one book made it out mostly okay. The one corner of the cover has a crease, but I can live with it and don't super feel like dealing with Amazon customer service anymore.

Oh, and in a random note (and at the risk of sounding stupid: I was reading Usagi Yojimbo the other night, and I hit a story wherein there was a town controlled by two corrupt bosses, and then Usagi and Gen split up to play both sides as powerful newcomers, and ultimately end up forced into a duel. The thing is... I watched an episode of Dirty Pair with literally the exact same plot the night before. So I figure those have to be a spoof/reference to something more famous, so anyone know what?

This Hawkeye run really shouldn't exist. It's clear the team had/has no real fucking idea for the characters, and they just wanted to bum on the momentum created by the definitive Hawkeye run. What the shit was that pitch meeting like for the new Hawkeye?
