I'll send it to you for free once I get my copy later
I think I'm supposed to like Klarion, because, hey, it's a weird book about WIZARDS fighting TECHNO-GOTHS with metaphors and shit but god damn. It's unreadable. Literally. As in, the combination of Nocenti's disjointed prose with McCarthy's weird JH Williams III inspired layouts means I was all kinds of confused regarding what happened in the issue. I don't even think it was that bad. Just very incoherent.
Batgirl however had everything I liked and then some and I love it so much you guys it had capes and friendship and bisexuals and hashtags and one of those crazy spreads where people walk around a single room looking for clues like what McKelvie sometimes did in Young Avengers. IT WAS GREAT.

I agree with this if you are being serious. I really liked it. Not as much as Gotham Academy but still liked it. But I am fairly sure you aren't being serious :/
Could've done without the hashtags though
Yeah^^ Thanks^^
I am always stone cold serious. My word is BOND.
Words on SIXIS now: Loved how the comic kept repeating via a nice big pattern that the name of the comic I was reading was SIXIS. I almost forgot that was what I was reading until I looked at a border and it was like "Whoa, yeah, right, this is the comic I am reading". Good job, Marvel. Good job.

You all have been NOCENTIed!!!
Fool you one shame on her. Fool you twice, shame on you.

no joke, that page kinda put me off the comic.
stuff like that's fun to joke about on message boards but it's hella goofy when it's in promotional stuff and the book itself
Uncanny X-Men Annual in November and I think an All-New X-Men Annual.

Damn I thought you meant he was doing a series or something.
I don't read either of those but I will buy em.
My bad, sorry for the poor wording.

Wytches was fantastic! Instead of world building, Snyder went straight to the characters. Leaving the world a big creepy mystery.
Ideally you want slightly larger tablet I suspect. The iPad Air is fine. There's a new larger Nexus coming shortly that is probably going to be a decent shout too.
But you don't have much to lose just trying stuff out on your KF and see how you get on. I do most of my reading on a 7 inch tablet for portability reasons.
This is becoming such an overused trope...
I really don't get "lets get multiverse characters of other continuities we're not doing much with and murder them."
In ten years time you might want them for something, and then you're just going to bullshit your way out of them being from a "very similar but unrelated universe" anyway, so where's the impact?

To be honest I'm not that much of a fan of different continuities interacting period.

Not really getting what I meant by that I guess.
It's not Wonder Woman he's interacting with in this story, but an assassin wearing Wonder Woman's form instead. Whether that means she's being influenced by Joker, or he's somehow taken over her mind, OR that there's no Joker at all and this is an elaborate delusion brought on by fear gas (making this a Scarecrow story with a Joker misdirection), the fact remains that it's not really her.
EDIT: Perils of phone posting.

Every IST box feels so solid and heavy, whether you order a couple of books or five.

how are you getting that from what we saw so far?
i feel like I missed a big thing then, other than
the obvious JL(real members) have been somehow affected by the joker. But nothing about how it's not really her.
also I must have missed the part where he put that bind of veils on her unless it specifically was obtuse about it's use. I just saw her chop his arm off and then next panel she's got a silver lasso on?
Wait until in two months, when we all hate again on a Marvel Event
(Damn, AXIS is yet released? They really should start to slowing down with all these Events
)I was also wondering about the arm getting chopped off and the bind of veils. That section was super confusing. What happened the arm?
How do I get the SIXIS banners above and below all of the posts in here? It's the design choice of the year.

This week has been superb so far.
Batman, Axis, Manhattan Projects, Avengers and Batgirl were awesome. I'll read Sabrina next.

omg WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?? It's hideous! Just flipped through it wtf.
Anyway, Batgirl.. thems a lot of words. But actually this was a damn good comic. Girly hijinx with awesome art (srsly how hot is Babs) and a good ear for dialogue. Great stuff, will totally have to get the trade for the mrs when it's out, she'll love it.

Batman was good...
Avengers was better. Reading this book makes my head spin, I love it. The stakes are so massive.

A cat that cleans up his own shit? Sounds like a superhero to me.
Give me summary about this month Avengers.

My shop actually ran out of Batgirl. There was only a three or four variants left on the rack and it was one they were selling for like $20.

Oof. My shop will probably run out soon, there weren't a whole lot there when I went, and the shop had only been open for a half hour. Hella lot of Wytches and Evil Ernie, tho. The importance of pre-ordering.

Is it called pre-ordering when we're talking about comics? I just refer to it as pulling.
Serpentine

Usually for new books and runs, yeah. Creators I follow always talk about how important it is so shops can order more copies. I always thought of pulling as the shops regularly setting aside certain books for you.

Am I the only one interested to see if Archie Comics can pull of the Dark Circle thing? Breaking into the superhero space must be a hellish endeavor.
That Shield costume is sexy though...
