Don't even pretend that you're shocked.
No. But I'm surprised that he would actually type something like that and hit "submit reply".

are you really surprised by that tho
Just realized that the Neal Adams Batman omnibus is mostly non-Odyssey Batman stuff and has an MSRP of only $75... Can anyone tell me if the writing is good for these issues? Or would it mainly just be a Neal Adams art showcase?
I'm gonna be honest. I really want this omnibus to be worth getting so that I can be able to read Odyssey. I really, really want to own Odyssey but definitely won't buy it on its own.

Yeah, but he recently mentioned how he liked Velvet, Southern Bastards, The Fade Out and Zero. I thought he was developing a refined taste in comics.

He would still vote Harley whatever over all those things unironically

They've had it in stock for a couple of weeks now. I already have my copy.

Don't be foolish. IST forever.
No reason to pay more and risk your book arriving damaged due to bad packaging.

It'll probably be cheaper on IST.

That's a good point. I tend to avoid buying books from Amazon because their packaging is shit.
This is not new news. Its just not for me, and thats OK.
I read a lot of great books. I just happen to talk about the bad books more because they make me angry. Come the end of the year you can all have a look at my list for books of the year and you can see that my taste is just fine.
All of those titles are great and I am happy to read them each month. We can't all like all the same books. Its great that most of you enjoy Sandman.
As for unironically picking Harley over other books. That shouldn't surprise anyone. Its a great time to be a Harley fan. She has a fantastic solo book written by two great writers and art that just speaks to me. Its selling and is the book I look forward to reading most. News just in Harley fan likes Harley book.
Velvet is fantastic though.

Alright this will probably be my next IST order.
Good thing too, I've been spending a dangerous amount of time browsing some figures...

After being sick last week and a ton of work i've been behind on my DVR and comics.
But this weekend i've caught up. It took a while though, i had around 40+ comics to read and 9 hours of DVR.

The funniest part was Messi running in to try and steal some of the spotlight with his "controversial" opinion. I'm reminded of the petting zoo baby lamb scene from the Simpsons.

We can agree on something at last!
I was more adding onto his dislike of Sandman and mentioning Quitely's vegetables was just a running joke here. But read into it what you will.

What the fuck did I just read in Klarion. Y'all wanna talk about slapping random shit together along with some messy ass fucking art.
Out of all the comics?
It's just telling a story really well and fleshing out its world.
I warned ya'll. I read 20 odd issues of that shit and it never makes any sense.
Sometimes gaming and ComicGAF just doesn't cross over ._.

Guys, it's okay, I washed my brain out after Klarion with Secret Avengers 9. That All-Star Superman homage with MODOK was brilliant. Found it:

Klarion was not that bad, but it's almost like lowering the bar as Charlie Strong's core values. I don't know why DC insist on her being on underused characters that need every sale they can get. They must know nobody has ever complimented her writing since Murder She Wrote was on the air.....

I've been catching up,on some free #1s from CMX I got somehow (I forget). One I read was Princess Ugg and really liked it. Has anyone read the rest? I might catch up on this series
Just rewatched Dark Knight Rises. I enjoyed it more than I did the first time. Maybe because the first time I watched it was on a tiny 4:3 TV at a friend's house. Or maybe because I had a couple beers while watching it this time. Regardless, it was a good time.
Also, the "BRUCE WAYNE HAS HAD EVERYTHING TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM" thing reminded me of Daredevil: Born Again and got me craving a reread of that.
And me craving a reread of that made me crave a reprint of the Miller Daredevil Companion omnibus which contains it.
I really, really, really hope the Netflix TV show convinces Marvel to reprint the Bendis and Brubaker omnibuses as well as the Miller Daredevil Companion omnibus and Elektra omnibus.
Please make my dreams come true and take all of my money, Marvel.
I mean, it's not that far-fetched I don't think. The Alias omnibus got a reprint, arguably because of the Netflix series. I mean, the timing makes it seem a little bit less like a coincidence.
Wait, GAF has a gaming section of the forum?
Whaaat!? Nocenti got Aja!? Maybe I do need to check out her Daredevil stuff after all.
Edit: Whoa. Nocenti got JRJR too. She was in the big leagues.

Also still curious about the non-Odyssey issues in the Neal Adams Batman omnibus. Is the writing solid on its own? Or are the stories solely remembered because of Neal Adams' art?

You got something against Odyssey, Kipp?
Everybody says it's the most outrageous, awfully written Batman story ever. I absolutely want to read it. I just can't justify buying an omnibus simply to fully enjoy some terrible writing. Haha. To justify it, I'll also need to enjoy some good writing.
