Real talk. Is Gail Simone even Gail Simone anymore?

I'm thinking of making the Snyder batman run my next series of trades I end up buying. Either that or get back into Invincible (I last left off a little bit after the viltrumite war. Didn't really like what the series was doing, seemed like it didn't have any purpose, which made sense since that was a HUGE story arc that was finished. Looking at the trades I must have stopped somewhere around volume 14 or 15. Anyone know if it got better?)
and with Snyder's Batman, where do I start? Court of Owls?

Start with Black Mirror and then read the New 52 stuff
Simone made Red Sonja a character I care about. That's super impressive.

The MU iOS update was very nice. Some decent features that make usability nicer. Especially stream loading and automatic bookmarks.

Gail has been very very hit or miss in her career. The movement and red Sonja were good but her batgirl was so meh. And Gail can't write a good WW to save her life. Her best work was Secret Six. I really hope she still has the magic with that series and it's not like her bland as hell second run of BoP.
How can you say that when The Circle exists?

Mostly because I just payed rent, electricity, and the cable/internet bill and am pretty much broke until I get paid again.

Hm..I found hew WW very lacking. I'd have to revisit her first arc again. I remember it being better than the nonsense before it from the previous creative team but it's nowhere near Rucka tier WW. And must I point you to her contributions to Sensational Comics?

I liked Gail Simone's Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, and Red Sonja. Her Batgirl started kind of ehh but from the Night of owls issue on I liked it enough. I have a couple Secret Six but never read them...haha

I've enjoyed the 2 issues of Amazing Spiderman where they've had Ms. Marvel in it, seems pretty funny to have a hero fangirl out over another hero lol
How is her series so far, I want something different to read besides Xmen, Batman, GL and Spider-man and it seems fun

Guys, I can't wait for Southern Bastards to return. I also can't wait to snatch a fucking Boss BBQ shirt.

Ms. Marvel is an incredibly well-made series, definitely among Marvel's best books out right now.

Seriously. Even the two Wolverine issues with a guest artist were super dope. It's been consistently great since issue 1. Kind of like Silver Surfer.

It's a v good and competently made series. I like it a bunch and Kamala is a pretty relatable character in some ways as a ~child of immigrants~ myself.

That's what got me even more interested. I really enjoyed Wolverine and the X-men, having the kids fuck about was funny. If it has that kind of charm, i'll be all over it.
Is Gotham Academy sort of like that as well?

Definite maybe.
We know Messi is voting for Harley. Rat Queens and Sex Crims need support, too.
When does it start again? I have the first trade, just need to sit down and read it.

While I liked Multiversity: The Just, the way Offspring was shown to handle the shock of his Girlfriend's death just felt...awkward, left more to be desired.
New Southern Bastards issue got released? I missed that, need to rectify it.
Also Robots in Disguise #34 giving more insight on post 1st Gold Age Cybertron, thought it was a nice touch.

Interesting news, I'll (hopefully) be getting an interview at one of the local shops in my area, soon. Fingers crossed for me.
Good luck Nudull! Maybe you can hook Messi up with a discount on Sideshow figures when he visits Florida.
Has there ever been a comic book club on gaf? Like where theres a monthly thread to get people to read an arc or a run or something? I dont do floopies so im always out of the loop here lol. For example i just read all star superman and that would work perfectly.
Plus it would be a great way to introduce new readers

A shame, too. Is there still hope for the ComicGAF podcast?

Korupt, Zombine, and GH are like always playing Destiny on PSN lol
Finally read Multiversity and Superman. I love these two books, they've been so good!
With the recent string of comic threads on GAF lately, we may be able to give this another shot.

Can you just check solicit from internet or something?
Btw Avengers/New Avengers "rotation" thing is pretty shit though, and you can't skip most issue.
One more reason to championing Capullo/Gleason.
So with the TV show coming out soon and whatnot, I've been kind of interested in reading some Daredevil stuff.
This is the famous Frank Miller run, right? Seems like he wrote more than just this, though.
Anyway, can't seem to find it on instocktrades. Wonder if it's out of print or something.
This seems interesting as well since it was done by Jeph loeb and Tim Sale.

Anything Loeb did with Sale is good, mainly since its generally agreed to be 99% Tim Sale and just 1% Loeb :V.
