I would just prefer her to be an all new character over an alternate version of character from a book I'm never going to read. I figure something about ANAD should actually be new.

Ah, I see. I'm kinda surprised you haven't read Avengers given all the Secret Wars books you seem to be reading, but basically
Cpt. Universe is more of a concept than a character. Universe is an entity that chooses it's host, the host being the actual character.
So if that's your concern it won't really make a difference whether I'm right or wrong. Singularity is definitely a new character.

Secret Wars was my jumping on (or back in after 10 years) point.
Yeah if your theory turns out to be true it won't be a deal breaker by any means.
Gates of Gotham and Dark Victory are both solid and don't get mentioned enough. The Anarky arc of the N52 Detective Comics series is solid (37-40).
The Cassandra Cain Batgirl stuff is solid (from what I remember), but the current Batgirl reads better in trade format after they made some necessary alterations.
The Jeph Loeb Superman/Batman stuff was pretty fun. Worth checking out (though just buying the trades on Comixology equates to the same price, plus there's an additional story)
Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity is a neat story
Paul Dini's work on Detective Comics was good (which includes Heart of Hush)
Venom is a good Legends of the Dark Knight story.

Finally Tims Robin run and Cains Batgirl runs are on CMX sale.
He has said he has more stories to tell with those characters and it only changed to 8 issues when he seen the sales.
Bit late to the favourite manga discussion but my list:
Adachi - if pushed to pick one probably Touch
One Piece
Mushishi
Aria
Nana
Honey & Clover
GTO
School Rumble
Yakitate Japan
Gintama
I'm sure I've forgotten some things, which might replace the above series on the list as it's off the top of my head.

I'm excited to read 52. I picked up the first few volumes after burning through Gotham Central, but then other stuff took priority, as is the way with comics. As a big Renee Montoya fan, I would love to get all the post 52 question stuff, too. As well as the post 52 Batwoman stuff. Scanning Wikipedia entires gave me the impression that those stories are spread all over the place. Minis, crossovers, guest appearances here and there, etc. I did find one post 52 mini collected called The Five Books of Blood. Again, I bought it but have yet to read it. It's written by Rucka and features the (Renee) Question.

List changes frequently, but this is what I'm feeling right now.
Stuff like Azumanga Daioh or Honey & Clover would've made the list if I didn't watch the cartoons instead.

I always feel like my run on Robin is overlooked, glad someone appreciated it.
oh you
Yeah, it's legitimately brilliant, and amazing it all came together.
It remains a massive shame DC can't replicate it.
Okay, so I read a little more Hellblazer last night. The bulk of which ended up being Eddie Campbell's multi-parter and... holy crap, that honestly just kind of sucked. Like, in theory the pieces were there. As in, I could follow what was going on at the immediate moment. But as a whole, it didn't come together and flow right at all. Just felt like a random mess that just plain wasn't properly constructed. I guess the one thing you could maybe give it is
... but it still sucked to read.
I looked up what else he's done, and... this makes me much more hesitant to pick up Bacchus despite positive talk about it in here...
that the story was in theory kind of maybe about reality coming apart so you could call the poor structure a meta style application of that

It's totally possible. I hadn't even considered it. I would not mind it to be honest.

This is really the last Johnston straw. What human filth.

Sheesh, having an actual post that seems quite reasonable really gets killed with such an awful and hyper-clickbait headline.
Man the need to spice things up by using clickbait titles that twist what you are saying to be more alluring to the reader is pure tabloid shit. Bleeding Cool is terrible and Rich is a twat.

I've never read a Goon comic in my life and I still want it.
The man knows his audience. And both are trash.

I've read many of the tpbs but out of order. Excited to read it from the start.
$40 only and it includes the first 4 tpbs. (Same dimensions as the Fear Agent library edition.)

How many Goon TPBs are there? Seems like a lot.
a lot, over 10 i think. I read the first one or two, it's fun but i haven't read my the other 4 tpbs i own yet.

I remember reading volume 12, so at least that many. But they are nice in the sense that you could always pick one up and it would seem like a complete book. In a way, they are structured like the Hellboy trades.

Welcome back! I found out there is a out of print TPB that is on Amazon called The Question: Pipeline that is most of Ruckas Question stuff. The stories in this were backups in Ruckas Detective Comics run.

I don't see what the problem is. BC writes some click-baity stuff but this one seems harmless. It's more just Rich trying a little too hard writing an article about diversity like "YO DAWG, WE GOT DIVERSITY HOMIE. WE MADE IT FAM."
I'm all about the Gwenpool life.
Remember when Rafa told us Quinones would leave Howard after 3 issues max.

And soon, $5 comics with digital code and backup story will become $5 comics with digital code and no backup. No thanks, Marvel.

I think the truth is that voting with your wallet doesn't and will never work.
So I guess maybe just stop reading comics? I only ask because I'm starting to not see the point of all the complaining about it.
Just switch to Destiny the value is insane. I haven't read a comic book in like two weeks.

Not kidding: I'm looking to fill out my Previews order today to turn in tomorrow, and for Marvel I've got Ant-Man and Ms. Marvel and I'm looking at the rest of these books and between the content and the pricing I'm getting similar feelings to 2011 when DC solicited the New 52.
EDIT:
Watch me.
EDIT:
GAMES! |OT| October 2015. And sometimes comics, when we get bored or our thumbs start to hurt.
Watch me.
You are OK with the Ms Marvel price hike too?

I'm okay with Ms. Marvel going to $3.99 if it means that I'm getting a digital code for tablet reading (or reselling, as others exercise that option). I wouldn't be okay with Ms. Marvel going to $4.99 with a backup I care nothing about as is the case with Howard -- or even worse, staying at $4.99 without a backup or anything else to justify such a ridiculous increase over an already inflated cost.
Do you think 4.99 for everything is where we are headed?

No way!
The industry is poised to access all kinds of alternative revenue streams to offset production costs, as their numerous successful attempts at audience outreach can attest to.
