I called in sick to watch the Cubs game. My boss just laughed when I told her I wasn't coming in.
And when the cubs lose you'll actually be sick. Lebron is going to hit a home run for the land.

Maybe it isn't and Capcom marketing just drilled it into your head that it is. I usually like RE games, but RE6 was straight-up dog shit.
Avoided 6 until now
OK, how does it come that Resident Evil up to 5 (here only storywise) is such a amazing franchise?
I really hope they get their stuff turned around with 7 again but I think the overall plot is broken as shit.

I wouldn't say that, either. A lot of people hated 5. Personally, I liked it, but I seem to be in the minority on that one (but dat Sheva alt. costume). 4 played more like an action game, and it was the first RE without traditional zombies. Overall, if I had to call one game the best in the series, it would probably be 2.
I would say Code Veronica or REmake, but I havent played 2 and Nemesis yet, I am waiting here for the REmakes. I hope so much that the tank-control returns.
I think that Resident Evil 5 gives some nice little additions to the story of the Las Plagas. The game itself is IMO much inferior to Resident Evil 4, which feels with its Map and riddles still like a part of the series. Everything else is IMO a repeat of 4 in slightly different.
I am a fan of the universe and how the story was told with all the notes, but the whole thing became a giant mess after 5 with all these million new viruses and characters.

I liked 4, certainly. But that wasn't a Resident Evil game. That was like Capcom pulling a Doki Doki Panic and making some action game before slapping Leon in it and calling it Resident Evil.

because it isn't. There have been far more misses than hits in that series.
The generally accepted as good are 1, 2, 3, 4, CV aaand kinda sorta 5.
Then OK tier, Revelations 2, Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles.
Then you've got tolerable stuff, like Revelations. (i'd put CV in here, fwiw, but it is undeniable that that thing is well-loved)
Then it's firmly trash tier for the rest, RE6, Survivor, Outbreak 1 & 2, Zero, Dead Aim, Mercenaries, Operation Racoon City, Umbrella Corps.

story has always been complete nonsense, so not too worried about that. So long as i dont have to listen to any bastard saying Ouroboros/Wolbachia again, leeetss dooo thiiiis
That are tons of Spin-offs. Its like including Mario Party when someone talks about Mario Jump & Run

They've basically called the first 12 issues season 1, right? It's not really over yet, I don't think.

If you want only the main line games, yeah, the track record gets better. Only Zero and 6 are shit then.
Just had poodle confirm this for me. Sweet relief. What an amazing book.
I only had the opportunity to read 3 books today:
Avengers, Walking Dead, Sheriff of Babylon.
All 3 were pretty awesome. Mike Del Mundo is incredible.

I really should probably get around to the rest of the Resident Evil franchise at some point. My actual proper exposure to the series is the DS version of 1 (yeah, yeah), REmake, and then most of those terrible movies (saw up through the one where there was a scene in the desert (I think Las Vegas) and there were "learning zombies" who looked like weird oompa loompa henchmen and then the Mary Sue got super mega psychic powers or some crap). So yeah, probably need to actually check out the rest of the franchise some time.
Also, all this discussion, but nobody mentioned Spider Woman. Because I read a lot of books that hit me well today, (or weirdly, like Champions with that kind of gross
), but that ending probably hit me strongest. Also, Sonic Mega Drive got issue two today, so definitely give that a consideration, people, even if you don't normally do Sonic comics, as that's been a really fun little mini-series.
Oh, and I'm through the first batch of Archer & Armstrong in the Valiant reading order (#0-13). Definitely my favorite of what I've read so far Valiant-wise. Though it's kind of weird, in that... doesn't this kind of not fit properly at all with (at least the first few issues of) Eternal Warrior? Gilad's in both, and his motivations (and possibly what he's been doing for like a hundred years or so) seem to be complete opposites practically, which is weird.

Gillad is as stupid as he is incompetent. And gods know how much he sucks at his job.

I'm so scared now.
I mean, to hit my issue more specifically, Eternal Warrior (1-4 at least) has Gillad
being all "I'm sick of this job and I quit a loooong time ago", and then a series of events leading to him killing the Earth goddess
has the Earth goddess just fine, and Gillad is still doing the totally loyal warrior thing to the degree that he's all "I will hunt you to the ends of the earth for killing a Geomancer!"
Also, I almost forgot! The little bonus comic in the back of issue 2 of Sonic Mega Drive was pretty directly poking fun at the whole Penders lawsuit mess/incredible stupidity, which amused me greatly.

Nobody is covering the game, not much anyway. Baseball!
Looks like they might actually pull this off?
Edit: I guess some sites have stories down the page, but this seems like a pretty big deal

Oh ya? Sweet, looking forward to it. Looks super rad.
I reread the first volume of Invisible Republic before diving into the second, and I feel like this book would have fit nicely among the 2000s era Vertigo lineup with its gritty, ground level view of sociopolitical conflicts. I love the worldbuilding, and how it's not rushing to fit every political faction or character into the narrative, but introducing them as they become relevant to the journalist. It's a nice balancing act.
Wat. Why would you ever be reading comics while watching TV, or watching TV while reading comics? Subtitles ain't the problem here!

I read the preview. Not sure if interested. What's the gist of the book?

That's probably why i liked it best, i liked the cheesey/kinda creepy zombie atmosphere and characters of the first two games but never really the gameplay. Resident Evil 2, all those puzzle pieces....

I was considering Mayday until I saw that it's a mini-series.
I'll keep an eye on it and pick up if people still like it when it's over.

Oh man, you're really missing out. There's at least one or two moments that make me smile from ear to ear each issue. It's an absolute treasure to read twice a month.
I genuinely consider it the best Superman has been since All-Star or Joe Kelly's run.
Yeah, King said they're going to probably be back in late 2017.

I get he was planning to infiltrate Santa Prisca, but if the idea is that he knew all of that was going to happen, then bat-preparedness has hit ludicrous levels.

nobody in that crew was cut out for this. That's why they're dead. Saya is the only one who ever could have hoped to survive the test of the first year. It's really engaging to watch her interact mostly with first years, here, knowing that soon, most of them, maybe all of them, will be dead

Been playing so much Hitman that I totally forgot to read a single comic the past week.
Finally picked up last week's haul and...
Probably going to drop Ms. Marvel. Not really a fan of how it's playing out. I feel like it's far too by the numbers right now for me to get any sort of enjoyment out of it.
And the whole "seeing a fellow Pakistani" thing no longer has an impact because the way that aspect has been written in the past 5-6 issues feels largely like window dressing.

Moon Knight: Yep, this isn't lame Lemire, this is GOAT Lemire. Black Hammer/Old Logan Lemire.
I honestly in the same boat but Kamala is too cute for me to drop yet, I have no idea what's going on post Pakistan. And she's taking the month off in Dec.

Harley VP, Bruce secretary of defense. I still need to read the vol 1 trade on my shelf.
Make Bruce her father and the book automatically sells.
