Finished Battling Boy. It was interesting. I wouldn't say I loved it, but I didn't dislike it. Sort of weird, but nothing wrong with that.
I'm now reading DC's Solo (Deluxe Edition). I'm halfway through Tim Sale's issue, and I love it so far, even though I'm not a huge fan of Sale's art. I can still appreciate his style.
Solo is the coolest fucking failure of all time. Tim Sale's issue is really strong, as is Paul Popes. Keep posting impressions as you get through issues--I'd be super interested in reading your thoughts as the issues get decidedly weirder.
Read Leila del Ducas issue of Wicked and the Divine. Loooooved the art, knew I would. Nice little gothy story to lead into this arcs finale that I am sure is going to kill more people we like and let the bad guys escape again. Makes me want to re read Shutter to see more Leila art.

Finished The Richard Corben issue of Solo. Spent most of it not being impressed at all, but then I absolutely loved the last story ("The Spectre: A Missing Life"). So, it wasn't ask a waste.
Kinda where I'm at as well. I only glanced at the title and Tom King's name and was thinking I was gonna check it out, but seeing more of it makes me not want to. Not really into war story kinda stuff and that Punisher panel is just ugh.

Only thing I didn't like about Battling Boy was the... lack of ending. Besides that I really enjoyed it. I love Pope's art. If you want more of that, check out 100%.
TOO.FUCKING.LATE killed all the people I dug already. On auto pilot with wicked and the divine. No idea why I'm still reading. I'm just hoping by some hokey bullshit some people aren't dead.

WicDiv was definitely in a rut for a while, but it's getting a bit better. I think I'm hanging on to see if the book does something brilliant, or actually does end up being a huge disappointment.

Yeah, I was surprised and disappointed by the sudden "ending". I love Pope's art except for his faces. Try as I might, I just don't like the way he draws them at all. Everything else about his art I love, though.
Man, it makes me sick how good Seven Soldiers of Victory is.

I love how he draws people. I guess I can see it not being for everyone however. He's become one of my favorite artists this year. I'll get around to reading my copy of Heavy Liquid eventually!
List for this week:
Hellboy and The BPRD 1953 The Witch Tree And Rawhead Rex And Bloody Bones #1
Grayson #14
Squirrel Girl #2
Giving up on Batman and Robin Eternal. Don't really want to keep buying a weekly just because I feel obligated to.
Might also grab Flash by Geoff Johns Volume 1 and Eternaut.
Jessica Jones is awesome, I like it as much as Daredevil actually, I also don't care about having less action because it is very compelling. Luke Cage is amazing.
I just wish Marvel would lighten up and allow a few F-bombs here and there like Breaking Bad did, so when shit goes down the word is used. Someone should tell Loeb people 16 and up use fuck a lot.

the new changed Butterfly Effect Rip-Off timeline :/ I want the old back with blue hair chloe :/ And I want to go with Warren in the drive in, and most likely Kate is here dead I want to be friends with her.

A lot of interesting ideas that aren't fleshed out. Simon Baz is an interesting character that, I'm going to assume, no one has done anything with post this event. Save for the N52 JLA book. The fact that he
willed his brother to health is the dumbest bullshit. Like, only White and Blue lanterns can do that, and even then Blues can only do it with a Green supporting it. A Green alone shouldn't have been able to do that at all.
What a stupid thing. Also, his ring should have gone to almost zero with that kind of power, but nah. It's fine.
And then Valthoom...I don't understand anything about him. So,
he's a human from the future, who apparently got ahold of a corrupted GL ring, that was apparently originally worn on the Hand of Creation? The fuck? And on top of that, how is Kyle not able to hold his own? A White Lantern also wields the entire spectrum? In fact, where's the Life Entity? WHERE ARE ANY OF THE ENTITIES BESIDES PARALLAX?
Really dumb. I can only assume the event will be collected in its own separate trade, because there's clearly shit missing that was most certainly brought up in the other books (Green Lantern Corps, Red Lanterns, New Guardians).
So yeah, not the best ending to your long run, Johns. Still gonna read it from the beginning though. New 52 stuff started so promising, too.

Calling it a failiure is HARSH mate, better to call it underrated and leave it at that
The book was hyped to me during my early years of comic book reading, and was glad to get it when it released.
Such a fantastic book/collection.

how fucking bad at your job do you have to be to write ブロレス instead of プロレス on the sign for a goddamn pro-wrestling dojo. It's not bro-wrestling. GOD this book is gonna suck.
I'm interested in this Jacked book starting Wednesday, but I don't see a preview online. I've been bitten by books like this before. No preview, no pick up.
Is JL3001 starting a new arc this week? Been keeping an eye on that one. Might need to take a peak.
