Only took #19 issues! Should be interesting to see what happens when they "come out into the light".
Pretty excited for this; Both because Worlds' Finest seems to merit an annual and because the concept sounds fun. Also, Emanuela Lupacchino's art is sogood. Even if it's just a cover.
Talon: Vol 2 was solicited as collecting this: Talon #8-14, Birds of Prey #21, story from Detective Comics #1
Not sure what the hell that is from Detective Comics #1.
It's due out April 8th in comics stores, 15th at bookstores.
At least Land'sIt's a testament to Al Ewing that Mighty Avengers is so unrepentantly amazing, even with Land drawing it.

I'll buy the Wake if its a trade and FBP to say put the trade out right away but I'll wait for the rest to be in trade also.
Yes, thanks. io9 worded it as reprinting Gaiman's run, and I couldn't find clarification anywhere else.

LOL, yeah, I know. But I was simply pointing out a pretty cover to my fellow comic-lovers.

If there is a child in your life 3 years or older then you owe it to them and the comic community to get this in their hands. Make new comic readers, etc.
And let me tell you as a professional early childhood educator that children? They love The Batman.

I read the first 4 issues of Talon and thought it was okay, but that right there sounds rad as hell. If it's a one-off and i remember in January I might pick it up.

I'm guessing the Infinity hardcover is going to include more than just the main series, since it's listed at $75. So I think it's a safe bit that the Avengers / New Avengers direct tie-ins will be in there as well. If the quality stays where its been, this will be an easy buy for me. Loving Hickman's writing on this series.
Also, going by DC's January solicits, it looks like Green Team, Vibe, and Katana are canceled.

Mad Love is great. Now that I think on it, I've never read Birth of the Demon.

I've been loving Infinity and the tie-ins as well. Will definitely be looking to grab the hardcover when it's available.
It's $48 on Amazon right now.
I'm not sure how Amazon pre-orders work though. If they decide to sell it at MSRP does that mean we'd have to pay the $75?

Amazon usually doesn't sell at MSRP. Games and stuff are one thing, but everything else is usually cheaper. I don't know what they pay, but it's always less than they sell for. They need to make a profit after all... But I can pretty much guarantee that the week the Infinity hardcover comes out, Instocktrades will have it for 50% off at $37.49 during that first week.
Cool. Wasn't sure. I'm still fairly new to comics.
Checked out instocktrades. Good thing you mentioned it because I was just about to buy stuff off amazon and I'd save about $20 buying them from IST.
Do you think they'll make combined omnibuses for stuff like Avengers/New Avengers and All New X-Men/Uncanny X-Men?

Kind of doubting it. Amazon has listings for separate volumes of Avengers and New Avengers for the Infinity issues. That sucks, I assumed they would be included in the hardcover since Hickman is kinda stressing their importance. Gotta wait for Marvel's January solicits to see what's actually included.

Phonogram is on sale. Buy that sheeeit. Gillen/McKelvie comics about music n' shit, probably McKelvie at his best.
Fuck, I might double dip because the single issues have backups that weren't collected.

I was 10 years old when Batman The Animated Series was out so I don't remember a damn thing. Started watching some episodes tonight to show my wife and man they are still badass. They do not make animated shows like this anymore. She wanted to see the first appearance of Harley so we watched "Jokers Favor" then watched "The Cat and the Claw" part 1 and 2. Really good stuff.
Watch the Mr Freeze origin episode, it's where the current comics cannon comes from and I'm pretty sure they got an Emmy for that. It's a really great episode.

Seriously, I still remember that episode.
They normally have a pre-order price guarantee. So they'll charge you the lowest price that the item was listed at since you placed the pre-order. In some cases they've even refunded me a few pounds after the item was dispatched, because they lowered the price on release day. They might have restriction for which items are considered but TPBs, graphic novels and books seem to be included, as that's pretty much all I've pre-ordered from them.

When you get the chance, watch Avengers: EMH, Young Justice, and especially The Spectacular Spider-Man. SSM is better than BTAS ever was.
I loved SSM with all my heart but I don't think it was better than BTAS (which is still the standard). Still, it was light-years away from anything Jeph Loeb and his "writers room" could come up with, if they'd bring back Chris Yost (who had a big part creatively with EMH especially) things might improve.

Not soon enough. It's still in the solicits for January, so it'll be a little while.

The second season of Young Justice was ass. SSM was great, but basically every Batman show was better. Batman has had such good luck in cartoons.

I didn't like EMH that much but a lot of people seemed to. Sub-par VO and animation, plus average stories. That or I just don't care for the Avengers

Avengers is defined by sub-par/mediocre/average stories so all their shitty film and animation endeavors are just staying true to the source material. #realtalk #comeatmefanboys #avengerstrashfranchise

SSM better than BTAS lol
BTAS is goat. Like nothing Marvel has animated is touching it.
smh This Avengers:EMH hate. Show started off slow but turned out good, until like the last six or so Loeb eps. Also that theme song that sucks at first, but grows on you until you like it.

Not enough!
Also, I'm looking forward to the furore directed at Disney when Marvel publish the birth issue.
SSM is the closest Marvel ever got to touching BTAS, and had it been allowed to continue, could very well have hit that standard. As is though, not really there.
Forever Evil is only confined to itself and its tie-ins, the JL books, and I guess some of the Dark books and Teen Titans. It's not really an all encompassing event; most everything is continuing with business as usual, give or take the odd tie-in.

Thisthisthisthisthisthis. Our boy is 5 going on 6 in December and this is head and shoulders a mile above all the other superhero kids comics out there (although it has been called to my attention I am missing out with Oz). He loves it, I love reading it to him, the art is freaking adorable and impressive at the same time, the thing is great.I let him keep his comics in his room on his own bookshelf, but obviously, being a 5 year old, they are in...interesting condition. Even the way he turns the pages when I see him reading them alone is horrifying haha just big handgrabs in the middle of the page and tuuuurn. I reckon I'll buy these trades so we have nice versions to keep and read over the long term. And hell, I'll probably read em too.

If Al Ewing is writing it and Luke Cage and Blue Marvel are in it, ess yeah you can.
DC really needs to push digital more for non-batman or supes titles. :\
Fixed that for you.
Vibe especially could have benefitted from a push. It was a fun book with a diverse cast which alone addressed the biggest complaints most people have against the DCU.
Oh well I'm sure there are 15 more Batman books waiting in the wings to replace it.
