Wasn't exactly impressed with either Avengers 1.1 or TMNT/Batman Adventures 1. Dropping them both.

The winter update for the Xbox has added a thing called clubs, basically your own little hangout spot. The club's theme can be what you want, club rules whatever you want eg Mic mandatory, just text chat, age group,etc etc I.think you can have leaderboards, all sorts of things I think, I've not looked super deep yet. It hooks into the other new feature they've added, looking for group so you can tell you're group you're looking to play x game with so many people at this time and so on.
Lots of quality of life stuff but cool anyhow. This thread seems to have a bunch of xbox players so we should totally have a group. This is probably kind of useless for people with loads of friends online but I literally don't know anyone irl who plays games so it could be handy. Maybe finally get.to do the destiny stuff I haven't been able to play.

Doom Patrol #3...I don't think I can love this book any more than I do, it's a blast to read.
one of us. one of us. one of us.
I love how the Doom patrol is not a complete reboot, but a reformation of the team. I am also glad that in this run everyone knows that
the chief fucked them all over.
So now all we are waiting for is crazy jane and that weird cat dude.

Yeah I usually don't bother with them. I was hopeful because Kooky Quartet is a fun line up and I liked the creative team, but I think my interest in Mark Waid has grown a lot dimmer over the past year.

Danny Comics are the best...and they only cost a smile, publishers should take notes...

Yes. Very so.
I'm not a big online multi-player kinda guy, but that sounds pretty cool

The first one was great, it hit all the beats a good crossover should. I read the whole thing in one sitting and I couldn't stop smiling for most of it.

Definitely, even if people just use it to nosy at everyone's achievements and what folks are playing for the most part, it could be cool.
I think I'll try and read more of Thor tonight, I really enjoyed what I read. Aaron is just so good, I'm thinking about jumping on his Star Wars book, grab the OHC. I'm not gaga for Star Wars but really it feels kind of wrong to be skipping an ongoing by him at this point.
Also just as a general thought, I may just start going OHC or bust for marvel in the future. I'm just not a big fan of their smaller trades, never have been. Whether it's slightness, pages going all wavy etc, they always seem to dissatisfy me. Only problem is how many series Marvel do that never go to OHC, I might be putting myself in a corner if I draw a line.
Otherwise, I've just been reading those King books I linked awhile back. Just finished off Revival. The ending was really unsettling hah creepiest stuff I've read in a good while, I think it'll haunt me for a few weeks. Otherwise it was mostly a book about growing up and growing old, I think he put a lot of himself in this one. There's a heavy helping of his love for rock and roll in there too. Onto Mr Mercedes next, excited for this one, it was deemed a big enough tale he wrote a trilogy so that's exciting.

Don't start with Civil War, it'll put you off. What characters are you interested in?
never read any of the civil wars. just tell us who you like or want to like.
you got guts for sticking with some of these series.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Yep it's coming very close to being dropped.
In other news Invincible Iron Man was very good.
Tony being the AI
I like comical characters, so I would say ironman and deadpool.
Someone darker would be interesting as well, though i think i will get those from DC comics (batman, rorschach etc).

Finished Shade #2 as well as Cave Carson and Mother Mercy #1, and I like them all. Glad to see Young Animal is off to a great start.
read power man and iron fist.
From what I've heard Daredevil has been improving as it goes on and Soule is apparently building some stuff up for later stories. It still seems to be just average though.

New Messi is now the official ComicGAF news source. Congrats on your promotion.
Sign me up for the club thing. My tag should be in my profile

Same: KidInsomnia
man I have been reading that exact comment this whole year but nothing has changed.
there are too many good DD runs/arcs available that waiting for soule's dd to become better is wasted time.
love the suit though.
That book has improved

I'm mad it's not on EU!CMX. Pretty much no Godzilla book is there.

The original Batman x TMNT is legit one of my favorite mini series in decades of reading. Instant classic.
Need to crack open Adventures from yesterday, but it's guaranteed to be a compulsory cartoon by comparison, but I like the characters enough to make sure I have it and get whatever out of it.

Bob Eggleton
After that many issues I would hope so.
edit: just found out that Elektra is confirmed for Defenders. No wonder she is getting a #1.
saw this posted on twitter
Bro, I'm already there and I'm loving it.
I THINK here's what I still need to get:
Daredevil Vol. 4 and 5
GotG Vol. 3
Hawkeye Vol. 3 (will probably be last on my list)
Ms. Marvel Vol. 1
Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2
Thor Vol. 3
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol. 1
All-New X-Men Vol. 4
Avengers/New Avengers I will be reading via omnibus format. Also, I'm certainly not opposed to the random Complete/Epic/Ultimate collection trades. I'm not 100% not getting those. I'm just not getting regular trades.

Dude, these look gorgeous on your shelf. Such a nice clean consistent look, I really love them for that. I don't read a lot of Marvel books anyway and often fall way behind on the floppy trades as it is, so it could suit me for sure. Pictures like this definitely encourage me haha!
Did you ever get far with Charles Christopher btw??
Yeah I love the look of them all together like that.
I just checked and I'm at November 12, 2008 right now. It's SO GOOD. I don't read it constantly but I've had my tab on it open on my desktop since the day you told me about it, LOL.

Watching my daughter read comics and noting (not for the first time) that she only ever reads comics in guided view, no matter how big the device she's using is.
I wonder how much the page layouts of artists like Bachalo will matter to a generation raised on guided view. If you don't hit the proper checkmark (she doesn't and doesn't want to) you never even see the layout when you turn the page.
I avoid using it altogether, personally. Unless I'm trying to see the words on a big spread, and when there's a bunch of small panels, arranged traditionally, on a spread like that, it can enhance my appreciation of the art somewhat. But I always step back and look at the whole image a few times.

Guided view makes me so mad. I LOVE to appreciate panel layouts and general structure of the page.
Think about Omega Men. It's such a traditional panel layout so at first glance you'd think Guided View would be perfectly fine. But the WAY those panels were arranged was SO methodical that it makes me sad to think there are people who went through the whole thing just with guided view.

Guided View is the bes. I even use it on my ipad Pro. But I do have it enabled to show the full page on exit to the next one so I can see the whole layout.
