With my time I've spent so much of my reading time just keeping up with MU. But with the holiday break I needed some good ol classic style DC reading. So I'm finally getting to reading the JL Darkseid war. I've got all the books and the collection of one shots (with the GL book Tim raved about)
Time to dive in!

Bon appetit! I thought it was a fun arc.
Dial H is so weird. I liked it a lot, although it kind of lost me in its last few issues.

I got like a third of the way through it before I stopped. It was alright but I never got past the point where reading it felt like a chore.

Are you looking for recommendations? Lazarus and Southern Bastards are awesome. I'm partial too Rumble too.
Haha where do I get the friend code from? It's not on my gaf profile for a reason, I have no idea what it is
Haha Mieville is really weird. I love how fantastical and grimy he makes things with language, it's not something I'm always in the mood for, but it can be quite enthralling. His books are pretty out there too. He's one of the few authors I enjoy where just the act of reading what he's put down is engaging in it's own right. He's way above comics really, I have no idea how dial h happened.

I know you already picked, but I'd also like to recommend The Fix for the next time you do some shopping. Very good comic and if you enjoyed Superior Foes it's very up your alley.

Hah, SB is great man but you picked some awesome books, you're going to have a real good time
I would struggle to pick a favourite in there, I could go back and forth all day between saga and Lazarus. Best to have both hahFreezasaurus

Bought all of I Hate Fairyland. I've been wanting to check it out forever.

Reread a bit of Hellboy Wake the Devil today since I had it out
It's really interesting to return to this after, well, everything else. To see Hellboy, Liz, Abe, and Kate in one room again is incredibly refreshing. It's also fun to read a story where the entire world hasn't gone to hell. Plus it's got that Mignola art!

Did you guys read that Choosing Sides Nick Fury story?
Can you fucking believe that last page?

Why does he wear the mask!?
Read up to issue 5. Everybody was right. It got a LOT better.
Feel like (for me) it'll read better if I read two issues together or trade wait.

Its funny how little of that there is. I mean we naturally think of hb, Abe and liz as the original trio, but they spend so little on page time together despite the movies etc. I figure once the HB and the bprd book reaches the 80s it has to be all about them haha. I love that volume, all the intro stuff to
hecate, project vampir sturm or whatever its name is, so much good stuff. An exploding horse!

Deathstroke? The current series? I read the Rebirth issue and that was a real stinker.
One Punch Man vol 3-5. Cleared the $25 mark by some cents.

I did it, fam! I want to thank Farside for returning to slum with us and potentially gracing us with his incredibly intellectual take on comics. But none of that superhero bullshit!

Can confirm. It's not spectacular. I mean, this is still a Rebirth book. But it's much better than the Rebirth one shot. That was atrocious.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Yep. I read first two and dropped it but picked it back up since everybody raved about it. Glad I did.

Wow Sausage Party is the worst movie I have seen in a long time
Very nice, Tragic. Favorites? Stand-outs?

I thought that might be the case. I didn't even bother with it.

The previews didn't look terrible. False advertising in 2016!
Really nothing to shocking in terms of favorites:
Mignolaverse - Everything. I started this late, but it's the crown jewel this year. Just spectacular.
Image - God Hates Astronauts, Southern Bastards, Deadly Class, and Invincible. Best of the big three, unquestionably. Quality for days.
Marvel - Vision, Howard the Duck, and all things Star Wars. I'm six months behind on all this with MU. Oh yeah, and fuck the haters, I love Ant-Man.
DC - Green Arrow, Gotham Central, and old school Saga of the Swamp Thing.
Valiant - Not even once.
Pretty decent across the board. Archer & Armstrong and X-O are great. Harbinger is okay. Bloodshot is terrible, though.

Doesn't Lunchpod love Bloodshot?
I really like Generation Zero, and the War Mother one-shot was amazing.

Lunchpod likes a lot of bad things, and that's okay.
I'm impressed that the trailers didn't put you off immediately. Go watch Moana and get that bad taste out your mouth.

I want to see that. It's good, I'm guessing?

you can be that guy, at long as you read it. Whenever I take a break from comics and their inevitable mediocrity, I read a new issue of Stray Bullets and realize that comics can be good sometimes.
You know what fair enough.
Tragicomedy
Member
See you in 2018, Stray Bullets!
It's too good for you
I mean, it's a Disney movie so asking for my opinion is a little...
That being said, Moana is great. It's the movie beautiful film I've seen and I loved everything about it. Some people rightly took issue with some of the jokes landing a little flat, but all in all the movie is well worth watching. Also, it's structured more like a superhero film than a Disney Princess film.
Moana finally dethroned Belle as my favorite princess (ironic when Beauty and the Beast is coming next year)

You're too good for me!

I'll check it out when I get the chance. I loved Zootopia.
I mean, fuck every incarnation of Tarzan.
Moana is my favorite movie of 2016. By like, a lot.

Ever the Burroughs books are racist, sexist trash. I guess that's okay in Trump's America, but I didn't last 50 pages.
Is ComicGaf truly good enough for any books? I mean, besides Valiant books of course.

I got to the third book of the John Carter series. I lost interest after that.
