My new hope is something happens with the windstorm reboot. If DC does a new printing it'll show up for sure!

That's my hope for the last 13 issues of Kamandi, that when the challenge starts they'll add the rest.

Hmm, think I'm going to reread Dial H this week. Had planned to reread Y The Last Man, but I dunno, I'm not feeling it. Just not in the mood I guess.
What's the deal with the art on spider gwen?
And what do people think of frostbite so far? Amy good?

Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme dropped for me. I kind of like young Ancient One, but that's about all it's got for me from these first two issues that's doing anything for me. Also, much as I'm sure people in here do not feel the same... Cave Carson has done nothing for me whatsoever in two issues, so I'm dropping that too. Clearly there's something there since people seem to love it, but it just isn't working for me.
Also, hit the Wendigo arc in Claremont X-men. Not much to say, outside of bleh, Angel being added to the roster (though he's done nothing whatsoever so far). Like, I mean, I feel for the guy, but when your one power is "can fly" in the Marvel universe, you seem pretty damn bland and unnecessary. Especially when you're on the same team as Storm...
Oh, and I just want to say... that Annual where they go to "hell" and Nightcrawler gets his "origin" revealed is the first bit of the run that made me say "well, that was crap". Almost the entire thing is spent showing off this "hell", but the art just doesn't carry it at all, and so it feels incredibly... empty. And then they jam in a halfbaked Nightcrawler origin that both doesn't fit well (like, the events of that are REALLY supposed to have led to where we first see him? Because that syncs up pretty terribly), and is so halfbaked that it only gets like 2 pages and feels super underwhelming. So not only was this a crap issue, it's also a "waste" of giving Nightcrawler an interesting origin, which is probably why I've never heard any of this mentioned before reading this comic. Bleh.

I approve of anything that uses the M.A.S.K. theme song for a reference.
Revolution has been great overall. Feeling very positive about the future direction for the Hasbroverse.

I'm at like issue #206 of Claremont's X-Men and pre-New Mutants >>>>>>>> everything after and if you disagree you are factually incorrect. Too much crossover/tie-in crap where are my meaty brood saga-tier stories. Every other issue now I feel like there's something I missed reading or some awkward time-skip or something happened off-panel that I missed reading. And I've read everything I'm supposed to read!
PS. Secret Wars II has to be objectively the worst Marvel Event

damn and I just hit #102. I am going all the way to Bendis Xmen.
I am dreading the tie ins, and spinoffs. will read new mutants though because I love that team

Me too! Maybe you'll like it more than me. I just feel like the flow of Uncanny X-Men gets really messed up once it starts crossing over with other stuff. None of the tie-ins and whatnot are bad except for Secret Wars.
Part of the problem is because MU doesn't have the proper dates for release (as far as I'm aware) so it's difficult determine the order to read some of the annuals, if you should read an issue of x before y or vice versa, etc.
Oh damn I will keep that in mind.

I hope you jerks are happy, as I just bought everything post the worthless Rebirth one-shot. I'll hold you collectively responsible if it sucks.
Is this one of those things were people are actually enjoying Aquaman and Green Lanterns, or is this the good stuff? I'm diving in to find out.
Snobby is not the term I'd use. People go full asshole quite often, and one or two posters are antagonistic to the point they get added to multiple ignore lists. It is what it is.
The vast majority of people are nice, friendly, and accepting of other members and their opinions. Most of us trade barbs in a friendly manner, and there are several posters who can provide you tailored suggestions far and wide.
We even slightly tolerate Valiant discussion. Just don't press your luck.
I'm already liking it despite the art. Don't force more suffering on me, Marvel. If Chris Visions is the new artist, I'm out. I mean, if you can't at least get me pretty pictures with the meandering plot, why I am even still here?
I like it.
But I like things.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Yep, I've bought them too haha
I gave up on Aquaman and Green Lantern. One rehashes stories told 4 years ago, the other is fucking pathetic.

Nah I dropped it. Dullsville.
Edit: if I had to bet on it I would say Lash is gonna like Deathstroke and Tragic is gonna hate it
Lashley

Haha, I'll read them tomorrow after work and let you know if I do
Deathstroke is a really superb book but I can see not everyone enjoying it.

Lashley: All right. Whick book is poison, Green Lanterns or Deathstroke? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both read, and find out who is right...and who is dead.
Tragicomedy: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would read Green Lanterns or Deathstroke? Now, a clever man might choose the known shittiness of Green Lanterns, because he would know that only a great fool would risk the unknown Deathstroke. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not borrow your tainted iPad and read Green Lanterns. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not read the Deathstroke books loaded on my iPad.
Lashley: You've made your decision then?
Tragicomedy: Not remotely. Because Green Lanterns is written by Sam Humphries, and everyone knows he's a awful writer who can't be trusted, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose those books loaded on your iPad.
Lashley: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Tragicomedy: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I?
Lashley: Humphries.
Tragicomedy: Yes, Humphries. And you must have suspected I would know his reputation for crap comic books, so I can clearly not choose the Deathstroke books loaded on my iPad.
Lashley: You're just stalling now.
Tragicomedy: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've made it through Death of X, which means you have a high tolerance for bad comics, so you could pick Green Lanterns, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose that. But, you've also read Civil War II, which means you have infinite resilience, so you might risk the poison that is Deathstroke, so I can clearly not choose that.
Lashley: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Tragicomedy: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHICH BOOK IS POISON!
Lashley: Then make your choice.
Tragicomedy: I will, and I choose...what in the world can that be?
[Tragicomedy notifies a mod of The Flow's trolling. Lashley is distracted. Tragicomedy swaps iPads]
Lashley: Good riddance, now where were we?
Tragicomedy: No matter. First, let's read. Me from my iPad, and you from yours.
[They read. Tragicomedy reads Green Lanterns, Lashley reads Deathstroke]
Lashley: You guessed wrong.
Tragicomedy: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched iPads when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never trust Bendis on a team book or event" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never read Valiant"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Thanos is above gender labels, my bad.
The Venom fanbase is pretty split between a love for the old and new versions with this book being a mix of the two. I found the first issue to be a nice start and we'll see how it goes.venom fans are going to be pissed, but I don't think they were buying the last run
I've been waiting to see the final version, might buy from Amazon. One thing that bugged me is the eyebrows, they curve all over the place.
I open to it. will pick up the first issue.
If I can read death of X I can just about stomach anything.
Man you aren't kidding. What the hell.

How was Geoff Johns' Avengers run?
Am I snobby?
Time to end it
.jpg/220px-Lorne(angel).jpg)
I've said it before, but I thought
What show did Commander Steel show up in? LoT?
That's what I've been saying. Inhuman was solid, too. I blame editorial mandate and being forced to maintain a status quo as a flagship book. Something Soule just doesn't either have the capability to do or doesn't want to do it.
While I felt that they didn't put out anything great (All-New was too slow and Uncanny ranged from boring to incomprehensible), I think EXM was fine. I put a lot more weight on editorial mandate than anything. Though that doesn't leave the writers blameless. Uncanny was bland and All-New was just too slow and while I respect the decision to be more character-focused and less about the world around them, the characters weren't grabbing my interest.
Current Marvel has also put out some damn fine comics.
What about three fingers and a thumb?

Steel is I legends along with the JSA.
I think a major difference is it seems comic Gaf members will take breaks from the thread then pop up.

Cheska and fauxtrot are real homies who hooked me up with books
Not by me they weren't. I still speak to some of them elsewhere.
Cheska was awesome and supported the books I supported.
