I'd say it's better that way. Blackest night was fun though. I will give it that.

I still remember Chris Sims initial reaction to reading Brightest Day
Oh my God, are they serious?

Totally agree. It's painfully clear that those 75 issues were the story(ies) that Willingham and Buckingham wanted/needed to tell. The highs that that series hits during the great war arc are fucking absurd, and it ends pretty damn good, with some genuinely earned character redemption
Prince Charming walking the bomb via the magic carpet is just fucking awesome
Sadly, everything after has just been "hey, people love this series, here's some more Buffkin and other jackasses!" or the Mister Dark stuff, who I thought was just about the most boring villain you could introduce into the series.
I'd like to know the end of the series though.

10 pages of this thread are JUST Messi. Think about that.
That was the boring Agent Bravo/Hydra Queen (or whoever the hell she's supposed to be) stuff right?

I'm actually kinda sad that the best Wonder Woman runs ever is ending. Wonder Woman is one of the few things that the New 52 did well.

Fables Deluxe 1 to 9 cover everything to the exact point where most of us thought things dropped off.
But wetflame in this thread mentioned that it improves again and seems to be finishing strong.

"Can't you see what this violence, this...CIVIL WAR is doing to us, Tony?"
"C'mon gang, its time we step this up to MAXIMUM CARNAGE! HEHEHEHEHE!"
"This is it...the final showdown of AVENGERS AND X-MEN: AXIS...and no one knows which way the coin will land"
"It seems we live in a world of INFINITE CRISIS, Bruce...sometimes I wonder why we even bother". "Are you having an IDENTITY CRISIS, Clark? You're Superman; act like it"
SO boring. Jesus, I didn't know Captain America fighting Hydra could be so dull.

Y'all are just going to ignore the giant fucking creepy Harley Quinn...
Same. I have my misgivings about the run (as was said earlier, it ended weaker than it started), but it was one of the books I looked forward too every month for the last three years. And I'm not feeling confident the Finches can keep the momentum going at all.
Oh well. I still have Strife, the best damn new character from the New 52. She better be in the movie.

"Man, Hope has really given the X-Men a MESSIAH COMPLEX."
I think I failed. I'm tired.
I dunno man, this is Tom Scioli being his most Scioli. It's a hell of a weird comic -- I can honestly say I've never read anything like this before
ah, yeah. Thought you were talking about the Actual Death and was like "dang, I thought we were more simpatico than this" Really liked those Captain Americas.
I don't even like Green Lantern (that issue of All Star where he paints himself yellow to kick Hal's ass owns bones) but that run is fairly readable (would never revisit it tho) until it... isn't
I didn't read it yet but Omg for real?
You'd miss me if I was gone, and one day I will be. Think about THAT.
Probably too busy hot gluing.
It's pretty.
I can't be the only one who saved that.

"Everyone around here thinks you're some kind of messiah, darling. 'pose to bring down the SECOND COMING for us mutants. But all I see is a scared little girl cryin' for her daddy."
"Betsy, pls! You know how I feel about Jean! This FATAL ATTRACTION between us has to stop!"
"What am I going to do? Aunt May won't talk to me because I dropped out of school, but I can't go to school with all this Spider-Man business! That smug photographer Lance Bannon is taking up any change that old tightwad Jonah lets slip out, so I can't even afford the tution! And now, the Jackal's back with all this CLONE SAGA shit! Jeez, its enough to make a guy want to...clone himself! That's it! Oh, Mr. Parker, sometimes you have your moments!"

Paul Cornell is kind of fascinating: he did a great year on Action Comics with Lex; did some solid Batman & Robin and Knight & Squire issues/minis; put in work for Demon Knights and Stormwatch for the new 52; and then went on to be Marvel's worst writer.

I have those TFormers vs. GI Joe issues, i need to catch up. #1 was weird and fun
and I cannot believe that those Brightest Day pages are from a legit comic, until i remember that Geoff Johns can print whatever shit ass dialogue he wants. It's worse than "they don't hate each other, they're friends! They're SUPER FRIENDS!"

...hmmm, that's a pretty good price. Not gonna lie, the only email notifications i get for new listings is for "x-force omnibus." I'm hoping one springs up for less than 37 dollars!
I'm a tiny, skinny dude and i only read hypermasculine alpha male books. Has Rob Liefeld ever done a Punisher series? It's not too late, Marvel

Captain Britain, sir. Vampire Missiles fired from Dracula's secret base on the dark side of the moon. Thank you.
Those Wolverine stories never happened.

"Damn Wolverine, what the hell did you do him?" "Played him an ol' favorite tune of mine, bub. I call it the X-CUTIONER'S SONG" "Uh...might want to keep that title in the oven for a bit, just between us"

Wonder Woman #35 was great. Solid finish to Azzarello and Chiang's run. I may check out an issue or two of the Finch run, but I'll probably drop the series soon.
Yeah, Exiles was great. Just steer clear of Claremont's New Exiles.

I've been doing some more framing...thanks b1g1 free at AC Moore.
I'll probably put something under the 2 Carols and slip some of the tiny Olly Moss prints in the little gaps. Want to find a way to center that Lil Gotham calendar behind the book cabinet glass as well. Might rearrange the top row as well.
I really wish I had better paper or Bristol on me when I got that Jessica Jones sketch from Gaydos..it's from 2008 and the paper is starting to yellow a bit.

I really need to repaint that handrail.

That is a very impressive wall of art. Who's the artist for that Daredevil piece situated at the top?

I'm still kind of confused as to what it is. Not actually something real people care about, I think.
It is a dumb thing. Continue to ignore it if you can.
What's crazy to me is watching it unfold and seeing comic nerds come out the woodwork like "Ugh those gamers." Like the comic book community doesn't have a sexism based dust up every two months.

Just sent in my book of the month votes. Man, hard choice this month, but DC books got all three of my votes.

Only read 4 books so far today.
Batman Eternal was really good this week and the first Ray Fawkes script that really clicked with me. Major happening to a major character in this issue that packed the feels.
Wonder Woman finale for Azzarello was solid. I think my expectations were too high. It was a good issue but I hyped myself up for something huge when the reality is we got a sweet ending to their run.
Harley Quinn Annual was once again, just a fun issue. The creative team is hitting all the right notes and delivering a highly entertaining read every time. It's in the top 10 in sales for a reason. The scratch and sniff stuff added nothing to the story but actually did help with some immersion into the material.
The Justice League United Annual has been my favorite thing I have read so far. I don't know if it's because of the theme of the story being kinda similar or if it's just that good, but reading this conjured the same feelings I had reading Uncanny X-Force. Great team dynamic mixed with humor, action, mystery, confrontation, etc. Was another fun read. The art in here was a mixture of DC house blended with 90's Saturday morning cartoons. It was fun to look at. This is my first experience with the Legion and they seem like a nice cast of characters. I really like this book after the slow start.
