I'm three issues into Manhattan Projects now. This is absolutely fantastic. I'm really, really loving this. It's fun and interesting and engrossing and exceptionally well-written. And the art is really great too.
Tim, you haven't let me down.
The negative responses confuse me. I thought it was great and not offensive in any way.
Really nice job with the expressions. And also, your previous stuff had a bit of the uncanny valley problem, but I didn't get that with this one at all.
I want to so badly... But I can't justify buying a statue right now...
Perhaps if I end up landing that job I'll splurge and buy this.
I'll definitely keep those in mind! Are they more similar in tone to Manhattan Projects than Nightly News?
What's a Morlun?

I'll do my part!
Let me propose a question:
Your favorite book gets a sequel. Doesnt matter if it's revered or not--V For Vendetta 2 is happening. You have to pick between Nocenti on writing duties, or Greg Land tracing every page from a pornograpic source. I want to know who you pick, and what book gets a sequel.

Good man.
On a completely separate note, I'm pretty excited that it's finally Halloween, because that means tomorrow I can switch to the Mignola Hellboy avatar I decided on a couple weeks ago. Haha
EASY.
Space: Punisher 2.
Greg Land porn tracing all the way. It'd be absolutely perfect. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Actually, what the hell. I'll take Nocenti and Land. Nocenti's nonsense would be perfect for a Space: Punisher sequel.
No idea. I haven't ever read a Spider-Man comic.

I think Year One has already had a sequel at some point, but for the sake of the exercise, I'd take Nocenti over Land any day.
Similar in the sense that they're more science fiction based, yeah. Manhattan Projects has a sense of irreverence that his other stuff doesn't, largely due to the cast all being based on real people and also just because it's funny.
And it's about time y'all start to show Nick Pitarra some love. He's easily my favorite active artist in the biz.

Don't be facetious. It's just not a good thing to have on your screen at work. Don't pretend like this is about anything else.
Wouldn't worry about it.

I'm allowed to be facetious, facile, and puerile, thankyouverymuch.
Would you have preferred "Your complaint is practically puritanical..." Because it is. That's not nudity by any reasonable definition. Implied nudity? Sure, but that's a bit of a stretch for complaint-worthy image posting. In this poster's opinion, anyway. A lot of images get posted in this thread that I wouldn't want on a work screen, nudity is rarely the issue.
Yup.

I'm sorry! Really I am. I don't want to fight on Halloween over naked Harley Quinn.
Where MP is kinda zany, EoW is fully badass.

Say, did anybody read Rasputin? It made it into the featured list of the top post but I don't think I've heard anything...I bought it but I haven't actually had a chance to read it yet.
I'm hoping so too. I really want it to be good, because I love the premise and I really like Nick Dragotta.
Hahaha. Thanks.
I'd love to hear what you think when you do read it! It seems like it could be really cool.
I don't even have my phone with me at work, much less a computer. All you guys who can browse GAF at work are lucky.

Nvm
for the entire series?
Got a problem with Grayson bro?
per issue, 5 issue mini, so $5. But at least it's all on sale, i mainly buy digital for minis that are all on sale....though looking at reviews of the last issue not everyone was thrilled with how the mini went. People here liked it in the beginning at least.
I did like it in the beginning. I bought all 5 physical. I think I'd like it digital to show people how good the art is.

Just read southern bastards #5 and i'm fuckin infuriated

I've been reading Manhattan Projects for a while now and I love every moment of it.
It's just so good

Wow, looks and reads amazing.
Whatever about the story in Ultimate Spider-Man (personally I love it) but the art is not getting nearly as much credit as it deserves. David Marquez and Justin Ponsor are doing really fantastic work monthly. The book is a delight to look at. It's a shame they didn't get these guys to draw the Ultimates book also.

I miss Bagley on USM.
Isnt Sarah Pinchelli working on the series anymore?
Not since the reboot I think
Thats sad. Her work was always very good.
It is. She is on all new X-Men now I think.
The current Ultimate Spider-Man art is still great too.

mannn i'm trying to avoid ASM like the plague...but coipel...
Before Before Watchmen. Gimme that Land all over my face.
The art is great but I couldn't tell you what the book will even be about after reading the first issue. I'll stick around for the first arc to find out, at least.
When the rest is as good as this 9 Preview pages, it could finally again be a good Spider-Man Story. Loved those pages.

Fuck the Dark Horse app
Bout to send in my picks for my favorite books of the month
Dark Horse please just go to comixology. I will buy your titles again.
Guys, could you recommend me some good, standalone TPBs that were published in the last two years? Something like Wanted - self-contained, awesome story 
Can be s-f, fantasy, superhero - doesn't matter. I just want to read some good comic book that is not some part of a longer series and ends with cliffhanger or requires to buy another TPB

Six Gun Gorilla is great
I also recommend Power Girl: Power Trip. It's technically part of a longer series but that trade contains every issue under that creative team and it's good fun!

Bloodspell : Black Canary and Zatanna
Not part of any story and is a one and done story.
Fantastic art too.
I'll second Power Trip.
