Not sure if you want to wait that long, but there's a Deluxe Edition coming May 2015.
Can someone give me the lowdown on what Dial H is though? I know nothing about it.

Remender the slimy move they pulled am issue or two ago hiking the price. That took some balls after Hawkeye fans waiting so long for issues. Left a real sour taste with me.

Dial H was so awesome and really stood out in the Nu52. Shame no one has given mellvile some more work.

My dude. Check out Dial H. I've been meaning to dig into his novels after loving Dial H. Glad tim brought up Dial H today!
I'm probably going to dig up my floppies and reread this soon. Issue 13 makes my favorite issues of anything ever list.
Well it helped having Karen Berger around at the time because she's literally the greatest comic book editor of all time, and I'm ready to fight anyone on this so COME AT ME.

Messi got Rick Remender on the brain. I'll assume you meant "remember".
Batman is worth it. There that's one.
No I meant Remender. It's all his fault.
Fire Remender.

yeah they did the same thing with Daredevil, relaunched the same damn book with the same damn creative team...they lucky the book is good and I'm too lazy to wait for trades
I want to see more Favorite Issue Lists out there. Like if there was some desert island and you got trapped there with a longbox of a dozen or so comics what would they be. Not runs, or trade paperback collections of multiple comic like Watchmen or whatever, I mean like the one-shots or individual issues. I thought they was an interesting exercise, singling out the material that really stuck with you. I did a post on that earlier while you were away, I think.
edit: lookin at this list, its missing Stray Bullets #16, whoops

According to Jeph Loeb, lower gravity means ANYONE can lift Thor's hammer!
It might be the dumbest fucking comic book logic ever, but I still find it fucking hilarious.
Not even sorry about it either.

@Ssnyder1835: Regarding the price point on Batman, @GregCapullo and I heard about it yesterday w/you, and quickly made a case to DC about reducing it. 1/2
@Ssnyder1835: And I can genuinely (happily) say that DC are taking it very seriously, which we appreciate. Stay tuned.

Can someone elaborate on the $5 monthlies? Is it a general statement because things are heading that way, or have there been any specific announcements?

I don't know if I can wait. My library doesn't seem to have the trades.Does the run feel complete or was it cancelled abruptly?

Zombine specifically announced it, just in a casual, general statement
Holy cow, huge respect for Scott Snyder, I think he's an awesome guy and this reinforces it. Never heard of a Marvel writer trying that...
Anyways, Bucky Barnes was excellent, I really dig the tone, and Rudy's art is cool, though I did find myself getting lost in certain parts, hopefully things even out. I love Quake and Namor being there, especially since Bucky and Namor's relationship is always a goldmine for writers. It's nice to see Buck's smart-ass personality there too, it can be serious, but it's important to keep that dark humor aspect of his character as well. I hope any of you guys who are interested try to support it.
I'm done with Cap with this issue, I hate to say it for one of my favorite characters, but I need a break. Deadly Class is my favorite Remender book and the only one I'm pulling right now.
Yo, I'm totally gonna do that this weekend. It'd be cool to see everyone's must have issues, hopefully others take the challenge.

Stupid moment in a overall great arch. Loved the introduction of Red Hulk. Must have been a big twist, that Ross turned out to be it.
Usually it's with increased page counts, that's how we got 3.99, then it was 3.99/20 pages silently. I expect the same unless people stop buying books.

Oh, I'll fucking stop when things hit $4.99 (except Batman, because Batman). $5 for a comic is too much.
Fantastic article, this guy summed everything I have been trying to say up, and much better too. Peter David should be taking a look at the pricing structure and not blaming fans, especially those who look at other entertainment and see much better deals than in comics (you can get good video games for the same price as X-Factor). Even with a higher page count, I feel that $4.99 books will cause dips in the audience.
Why don't digal sales count?
Yep. Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier should be $2.99, and should have been advertised to the movie audience, yet there was nothing. Marvel completely botched the launch of a new comic of a spotlit character, by releasing months after the movie already came out (instead there was a convoluted miniseries that tied more into Remender's Cap run). I will support one of my favorite characters, I'm just worried about how long it's going to last.

good to hear, you were one of the main ones I was hoping would get on board with it
You might as well wait for the deluxe edition that DC are releasing of the whole series. I'm double dipping on that.
Oh what! My man Alberto Ponticelli does the art for Dial H? Even though I still have no idea what it's all about, I'm in for that Deluxe Edition.
I probably will too if I remember. It may not turn out so well since I haven't been a comics reader for too long, have a terrible memory, and am bad at reviews though. But that won't stop me from maybe doing it anyways. Haha

Same here. I'll rummage through my back issues but I've been reading off and on since 2011, so most of my picks won't be that old.
I've only seen Ponticelli's art in Unknown Soldier (which is absolutely incredible, by the way, and you need to check it out sometime), but he did a fantastic job in that.
Nah I was piggybacking off of some speculative shit from earlier.
I always want to eat that comparison Apple.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Why. Why ship when I am in Florida. This makes it much harder for me to get it.
Fuck.
Second classic head is beautiful.

@TomKingTK: Starting script for new one and done. First time writing this character. Using an odd approach. Fingers crossed, making typing awkward.
Keep on doing what you do on Grayson Tom King.

How's the artist's alley? The one in Sacramento was abysmal... so hopefully that wasn't a pattern with Wizard World. Great art, by the way.

Which one in Sacramento?
This is honestly the best Sideshow statue I've ever seen. The only other one I like is Lobo.
The Wizard World that was held in early March (3/7-3/9/14, I think). I honestly think the artist's alley for our locally run Sac-Con is better... we at least always have Ramon Villalobos there! Speaking of which, the con is only two weeks away. Yesssssss

Did anyone pledge support for Van Jensen's 'The Leg'? I'm eagerly awaiting my copy. I'm currently reading his much underrated Pinocchio Vampire Slayer'. It's darkly clever and witty. Definitely worth a look in.
