I think we all know why.
honestly, that makes me a little more positive and interested about III now. I'm ok with some Azz, Kubert and Janson bats.

Read some comics today.
Finished the Batgirl Vol 1 trade. I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting. The villain was a bit lame but I love the art. Pretty fun read overall. I'm definitely up for reading more of this run.
Dr Strange #2 was excellent. I've really enjoyed the first two issues. Aaron's doing some good stuff at the moment.
Astonishing Ant-Man was decent, (Thanks again sillymonkey) but I don't think it was as enjoyable as the start of the pre-ANAD run. Still, got a few laughs out of it and I couldn't help but feel bad for Scott, having to listen to Cassie call him a shit dad.

Really? Psh. Aja never sweat no deadlines, and she's a much better artist than he is.

Aja is the second coming of Mazzuchelli the God.
her pencils are nice and all but let me know when she puts out one groundbreaking page design much less dozens.
someone linked an interview here where Miller essentially says that it's pretty much an azz comic
Just throw a Humanoids logo on that and we're good to go.
Why does she have to be groundbreaking? Can't we just be happy she puts out great work on a monthly basis?
Do it, everyone should read about Batman's early adventures as a gun toting stone cold killer.
What if she has paint issues tho?

Happy to hear Strange is good, dunno if I I'm going to grab it though.
What's this about? Is she off of Starfire? :O
It's Amazon, I'll keep returning it until I get a good one.

I haven't read any solo Strange comics before, but it's delightfully weird.

What a beauty. I really need to get back to reading Howard comics.

my contention is simply with the statement that she produces better work than Aja.

ive complimented her artwork several times in this thread. her work is pretty nice.

Secret Wars #7 was good. I love what Hickman's done with Namor and T'Challa. Their rivalry was my favourite part of his New Avengers run. It does feel as though the delays have taken the wind out of SW though. I expect it'll read better in trade.

I hope Ed Benes takes over Starfire.
Can you get banned for abusing their return system?
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Delays have definitely hurt it.
What is Hickman writing after Secret Wars? I've forgotten.
Shame
Namor is due to
Are you trying to end the comics industry?
It's subjective though. Some people just don't like Aja. And that is OK.
Lashley

Hahaha
I've added a few books to my list for tomorrow, Messi.

70% of my time is spent on Uni work at the moment. I've spent about 2% on comics over the past fortnight. I must change my ways.
We all know you're single-handedly saving the industry anyway.
Nothing for Marvel. I assume he's still doing East of West.
Probably but I can't imagine it would take more than 1 return to get a decent one.
tbh if Frank the Tank is actually doing (as in ACTUALLY writing + drawing) a DK4 then I'm down for that
even late period, lookin like he's on death's door, super racist miller is inherently more interesting than a fuckin 8 issue """"event"""" brian azzarello batman comic drawn by a kubert not named joe
because seriously who gives a FUCK about that shit
saying you like one thing more than another is also OK

Yup
Anyway what is essential Millar reading?

I liked Red Son and The Ultimates a lot, his first two volume run, not the Ultimate Comics The Ultimates thing.

Millar's Ultimate X-Men has what I'd consider to be the definitive portrayal of Charles Xavier. Worth a read.
Battling Boy is awesome.

Hmmm
Ultimates 1 and 2 is peak Millar. Skip anything he ever did titled Ultimate Comics anything
Superman Red Son
The Authority
Chosen: American Jesus is great
Havent read it but some people swear by Starlight
His Fantastic Four run is with Bryan Hitch so if youre a Hitch fan its worth checking it out even if the title is a little so and so.
Superior with Yu is pretty good
Most Millar titles have top notch art and are at the least entertaining.
If you're a fan of Sean Murphy, you want to check out Chrononauts. David Gibbons was the artist on Watchmen and he worked with Millar on Secret Service. Yu also worked with Millar on Supercrooks. Duncan Fegredo did work with Millar on MPH. Quitely did Jupiter's Legacy.
Millar basically gets all the artists he wants.
Essential Millar:
Superman: Red Son
Superior
Nemesis (Probaby my favorite Millar book)
Starlight
Jupiter's Circle
The Secret Service
Gorgeous Millar:
Supercrooks
Chrononauts
Perfect Millar:
Everything
I like to think that the baby would have grown up to be the biggest super villains of the Ultimate universe. Thank you for doing us a solid Red Skull.
Gotham Central Vol. 1 was fantastic. Wow. Great great writing.
I'm trying to decide whether to go straight to volume two or read something else first.
Do you guys ever have things that you want to read but you also don't want to because then you know you'll be done with it and can't look forward to it anymore? I'm kind of that way with Solo Deluxe Edition and Multiversity right now.

the universe was on borrowed time. he just played his supreme edge card
Strangers in Paradise. I never finished it. I don't want to finish it. There always needs to be more Katchoo
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
Yep I feel this way with most books I read. That's why I always try to keep a rotation of 3 or 4 titles at a time as opposed to reading stuff straight through.

The end of Strangers In Paradise is the beginning of Rachel Rising.
That's not good news :/

One of my all time faves. I couldn't put it down, right up until the end. I recommend you keep reading. The last arc is the greatest thing ever.
