Anyone else bought the first trade? Kamala deserves all the support.
I didn't pick up the trade yet but I bought today's issue and just finished reading it.
On an unrated note, I'm getting bored of Shadow of Mordor

Haven't even read this week's issue and I know it's going to be damn good. This series is one of my favorites right now.

I have the floppies but might hold out a bit to see if they give it a deluxe treatment. I'd buy it OHC in a hot minute

Okay, these are obviously all teasers building up to some big announcement. I'm just curious to see what it ends up being.
Haven't gotten to it yet. The first thing I read today was Trees, believe it or not. It's very character-driven and hasn't actually had much to do with the "trees" themselves as of yet, but Ellis is writing some really great and interesting characters.

The house of ideas.
They never say anything about them being fresh or original though.
No problem man. Geoff Johns GL is my jam.

I read the new trade of Warren Ellis' Moon Knight today. I thought it was kinda weird, but still pretty enjoyable. Definitely gave some Extremis vibes.
I also read book two of Lemire's Animal Man. It continues to impress.
And as for my top three runs, I haven't been reading comics long enough to have gotten through one writer's whole run on a series more than twice (Morrison's All-Star Superman and Milligan's Justice League Dark, and the latter was only eight issues).

Yeah, what are we getting? One tease per day? That's some old school X-Men there, so if it is one big announcement and not necessarily an event, it's something historical.

Alright, Tyrant Rave is a hero.
I really like Deadly Class and I'm only 3 issues in. Even better is that I found a site with a subscription with good prices for Canadians.

Ah shit, dude. You're going headfirst into Rotworld. An event so fucking bad it ruined two promising books at the same time.
Is Rotworld skippable, or is it too heavily tied to both books?

The first fifteen issues or so of both books were Rotworld and Rotworld setup. Swamp Thing managed to recover dramatically after Soule started writing it.

I'm gonna need tim to confirm this, because I had a fucking aneurysm during that shitshow of an event, but it's HEAVILY tied to both books because it's so many damn issues (as I recall it), and you're shown the shared world that Lemire and Snyder tried to create but failed at. Also, yeah, "important" stuff happens at the tail-end for the rest of the series.
Animal Man never fully recovers from Rotworld, but you get one or two solid issues after.

I can't be the only one here who actually liked Rotworld
There's only one big thing Animal Man related that happens at the end of Rotworld. I think you can skip it.

I'm gonna read Rotworld anyway. If I like it, great, if not, whatever.
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
Yeah, man, go for it. I wouldn't recommend anybody skip it because you'd be skipping half the Animal Man run, and maybe you'll find some value in those issues.
Just look forward to the Annual that comes after Rotworld. It's great.

Apart of me believes Marvel is trying to Infinite Crisis the universe but instead of making something new.. they are going to create a hellish status quo.

For the love of God, skip RotWorld! Skip issues 13-17, then pick it back up with issue 18 because that sets up the rest of the series. Be sure to read the second annual for Lemire/Foreman goodness and a really touching story.

Yeap. That and the last issue were the only ones that I enjoyed in the second half of the run.
yup. I at least found Blackest Night to be readable, but Johns tanked GL.
I really liked issue 20 (the second

Yeah I'm really worried about that because Hickman is engineering this and if it's one thing he's terrible at it's generating a status quo.
In other news, UXM was so great. Based Bendis.

It's probably going to be something come up with collectively under his execution. Wouldn't be surprised if Bendis has some part in it. Secret Wars is supposed to tie in with EVERY book.

Hit the fucking jackpot today. Wife gave me the ok to get Zombie Batman statue but like I said, it didn't floor me. We went out shopping and on the way home we stopped at a comic shop we don't normally go to. They had a 12 year old Young Justice Robin statue with no tag on it. I asked how much it was and they went and got the box and he said its $175 but it hasn't sold for 12 years and if I want it for $65, it's mine. Did not hesitate.
Despite the rehashed title/idea and obvious callback, this is actually really fresh IMO
Considering the plot that they building in All New X-Men and teen Jean Grey.. I'm hyped.

Just don't tie-in with All-New X-men (specifically X-23) or Ms. Marvel and we are tight.

I just read Axis #2 also and it was an awful read. But one line made absolutely no sense what so ever.
They make a big deal about how everyone is working together. Then they mention that
"Cyclops is fighting besides sworn enemies".
Since when are any of the Avengers or X-men sworn enemies of Cyclops?
Marvel's constant character assassination of Scott has become more than tiresome.

Thats a pretty great print, Zombine, but I would personally never buy a $150 print.
The guy is a wanted fugitive hated by both populations. I don't think its unfair to say that the Avengers are his enemies. Personally though I find Alex to be a tad hyperbolic.
Still reading through Uncanny Avengers and issue 14 is absolutely mental, based Remender firing on all cylinders.

Beaten to it, but Scott has been a wanted fugitive since he broke out of prison for killing charles Xavier and almost burning the planet to ash During AvX.
He and his team have been hunted by the Avengers for 27 issues now in Uncanny, and the fact that his team of new recruits keeps embarrassing the Avengers and SHIELD *badly* every time they cross paths doesn't help.

$150, yes?
It's fricken beautiful. I couldn't pull the trigger. $100 would be my limit on a numbered print and that's pushing it.
What about a $150 limited print?
Wanna do the weekly Nightfall this weekend? It's super easy.

That is a fuckton of white border for a 150 bones. Do you know the printing method and the type of paper used? Like, the image is great, but you always gotta keep quality in mind.
$150, yes?
I never took that into consideration. It's limited to 100 pieces and they said something about metal on the back.
