Zombine balls pretty hard. I remember when he ordered the Sandman omnis just cause. Or how he spent like $300 on that short period at NYCC.

Yeah, true. But he doesn't seem to have the consistency. It seems that he just balls moderately and then on occasion balls superhard. He's definitely close to Cheska/Freeza levels of hard balling, but needs to step up his game just a tiny bit.

Only one way to solve this for sure though. Bring out the credit card statements, guys. Time to determine once and for all who the 10 is on this scale.

Sooo Guardians. That was entirely unsatisfying. Also, Thanos is the only person who knows the proper spelling of Nova's name.

I really can't decide what to fill my IST order out with. I'm getting volumes 5 and 6 of Preacher, but that leaves me $30 short of free shipping. My top choices right now are either Best of Milligan & McCarthy + something else $15-ish, Hellboy Library Edition vol 2, or Stray Bullets Uber Alles Edition. I'm incredibly indecisive though. Please somebody help me.

I wish that was real, I wish we could be rid of the Actual Worst Character In Marvel. ALAS.

Everyone knows Spider-Man is the Actual Worst Character In Marvel.

A little late but I'd definitely recommend Cable and Deadpool (kind of funny to see them switch the title since their mindshare has changed so much). It's been a good while since I read it, but I remember it being a great run.

Having recently reread it, I second this. Cable and Deadpool was a fun buddy cop style adventure, with one of the best written versions of Deadpool, from before Way shat up the character.

Thank you guys! Definitely adding this to the order then.


In terms of todays releases, is anyone reading LOW still? It's sitting in my cart as a big maybe, along with Wayward, which I'm not toally sold on. I feel like both Black Science and Deadly Class clicked with me a lot faster than this.

Did you get on that Blacksad bandwagon??

You should Strange Attractors out,, idk what type of book you are looking for but I recommend that everyone should read this.. one of my favorite OGN

Yeah, I dropped both of those. Neither is working for me. I might have stuck with Low for a different artist, the world is pretty interesting.

Not me. Dropped both Wayward and LOW after 3 issues. Last month was enough LOW for me and this month's issue of Wayward was more of the same.

Okay, good to see I'm not the only one. I really love Greg Tocchini's art, but I don't think it's enough for me to stick with the story. Who knows, maybe the first arc takes a turn and I end up picking up the trade.

Nah, I'm not sure Blacksad is for me. I don't think I can handle the animal people thing, unfortunately.

And I'll look into that! It seems pretty interesting. Thanks for the recommendation!
Edit: I just read the preview. I'm intrigued...

I'm still pickin up LOW at of now,,, I keep thinking im going to drop it,, so we'll see how this issue is,, where it goes.

Wayward has been decent,, I just need to start sliming by damn pull list down a bit so I am dropping it.

I hear ya,, they do a really good job in Blacksad of making it seem like their just regular people. I was surprised myself,, at first was thinking it'll be a little weird with animal people,, but they do such a good job of not making it like animals trying to be human.
And its cool how the different characters really fit the animals.. they nail that part of it too.

As far as Strange Attractors,, I cant recommend it enough,, its one the best graphic novels I've read. When I was done reading it I kept thinking about it for days,.,, almost changes how you think or look and things.. in some sort of way lol.

Good luck

All in all I dropped about a grand at comic con, and I only went on Thursday this year. In 2015 my girlfriend and I are doing 4 days.

I'll definitely keep Blacksad in mind for future orders then. That's good to know.

And awesome. It does seem really cool. I've narrowed my IST order down to three options now... Best of Milligan & McCarthy + Robocop vs. Terminator, Best of Milligan & McCarthy + Strange Attractors, or Hellboy Library Edition vol 2.
Unfortunately, between the time I posted about being undecided on my order and your recommendations, I was convincing myself that the Hellboy Library Edition was the right choice, so I'm leaning towards that. Haha
I am absolutely awful at making decisions. It's truly terrible.

But anyways, even if I don't go with Strange Attractors today, I'll definitely pick it up eventually.

Lol,, making decisions suck huh.
I really need to get the next Hellboy Library Edition. Midnight Circus and Hellboy Library Ed Vol 1 were the first Hellboy I read.
Freakin loved it.

Oh man. I completely forgot about the Hellboy OGNs! They're completely standalone/not tied to the main Hellboy/BPRD story, right? I need to pick those up sometime. Or maybe I should focus on the Library Editions first. Haha
Reading something with young Hellboy seems fun though.

But yeah, I would say Hellboy is probably my favorite series ever and I only own the first Library Edition (as well as the First 20 Years art book). Even though I've read a little more Hellboy than just that, it feels wrong to only own the one Library Edition. It's good to hear you support that decision should I choose to go with it. :p

I am reading Low and I like it a lot. Maybe I have the benefit of Remender looking me in the eye and telling me what the theme is, tho, cuz it seems like others are falling off at a high rate.

It's great. The only thing you really need to know is that the Multiverse is being threatened by evil and each issue, aside from the bookends and the guide issue, is a one-shot in that specific universe.

But, it totally is more exciting if you've read Final Crisis and brushed up on who Nix Uotan is/was, how stuff like the Ultima Thule and the Orrery function, etc. I imagine these things will be explained in the guidebook, but it's always great to go in and completely understand all the elements that Morrison is using/expounding upon/changing.

And annotations from David Uzumeri are always helpful.

would reading 52 help as well?

And what's this thing about monitors?
 
Wait. Is she supposed to smell like weed? Because there's a picture of a marijuana leaf on there.

Yeah the US version is gonna smell like weed and some other things. The international version has grass scent instead IIRC. Messi won't experience the true scent of Harley.

Okay, finally decided to go with the second Hellboy Library Edition to fill out my IST order (along with the last two Preacher TPBs). It ended up being $50.37, so it seems like it was meant to be.

I'm just glad I was able to finally settle on something. That took way too long.
And now from the time I spent figuring out what I wanted to go with, I've got enough books for a whole other order that I want to buy sometime soon. Strange Attractors, Hellboy: Midnight Circus, Best of Milligan & McCarthy, and Stray Bullets will all have to wait a little longer.

I've got an interview for this pretty well-paying job in a few hours, so if I end up getting that, I'll be able to splurge way more on comics without feeling guilty for spending so much.

It's OK. I know what she smells like.

I doubt harley smells like weed anyway. Does she seem mellow to you?

Awesome. Thanks. It's a shame it's only 56 pages, but I'll definitely add it to an order sometime soon.

And thank you!

Jenny Frison prints?! Yes.

Don't lie. The only reason you're buying that print is because you want to prove to us that you ball the hardest.

Goddammit, nothing makes me question my decision to care about comics quite like reading Bendis' Guardians. Today's issue was such an offensively garbage way to end such a pitiful arc, and I can't even remember the last time I read something that made me so actually angry. What a fucking hack, what a shitty book. Hopefully the rest of the pull list will wash the taste out of my mouth.
