Truth.
Although I'm still plowing through Ex Machina at a steady rate, finishing about one TPB every day. It's pretty standard BKV, AKA it's easy reading and it's entertaining. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

I really really liked Batman & Robin #18. So went back to read Morrison's Batman Inc.
Some really great comics. And Batman Inc #8 to Batman #18 is such a seamless and effective transition.

I still need to reread Batman Inc. It's one of my all-time favorites and I have it in Absolute Edition and I still haven't reread it. Shameful.
Makes up for no blu release
That's weird they must not be too confident in it's home release potential if they have no plans for one. I know I'd have bought if it came out on BD.

Secret Wars is delayed???
Why can't they compromise the phenomenal art so I can get it sooner???
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN COMICS

I'm okay just needed some alone time.
I suffered through Hawkeye delays and that was worth it so I can bide my time on this. That said I'm not reading another issue till it's finished.

I think the Marvel section of the October OT just got turned into one big "PENDING" stamp.
Works for me, saves me a little effort.

I get my dcbs orders shipped on the first week now so i can get my Batwoman Statue that is totally still coming out tmw next week. I prefer comics to ship on the first wednesday of the month or the last.
I don't think that comics set in a universal continuity benefit from heavy delays, especially the event book where the relaunch that is supposed to follow happens half a year earlier. Secret Wars isn't a masterpiece of storytelling.
stay awesome
I'm not sure if it counts but I like the time it takes me to press buy on comixology and the internet monkeys ship the comic to my Nexus.

Internet monkeys might eat your comics though.
This is a real threat but one I live with everyday. Plus those sales are just too good to pass up, monkeys be damned.
I'm going to overlook this for now.
I watched a David Attenborough documentary once that said that some monkeys will go out of their way rip off your extremities including testicles when they attack. It changed me.

Samaritan and Winged Victory's date in Astro City was great.
Oh, not that kind of ship?
Not double-shipping or triple-shipping issues in a particular month would help.

"Yes, yes, but do you think he'll know how to write a comic book?"

this is why you can't give people a large sum of money with no strings, they waste it on comics.

September ends in two days and we haven't even made it to page 150 (50pp).
Doesn't help the artists is what I meant.
Can a dead actor make salad dressing? Obviously not.
I was just reminiscing, I'm sure that was a logistical nightmare for the creative team.

I haven't bought anything for awhile. I'm hoping Marvel Collector Corps offers the Secret Wars box again because I want New Thor so badly.
I went into my local games shop today and saw that the Lego Dimensions starter pack is €150 and the expansions are €45 each. I love Lego but FUCK. THAT.
It's ridiculously expensive, the prices for those packs are a bit of a joke as well for the content they apparently bring. Nearly £30 per "team" pack on amazon. I'll stick to Disney Infinity 3.0 I think, the Clone Wars playset has been fun and the figures I have are great.
This is weird. I just got the Planetary omnibus in, and I've watched videos on it that showed that it has a binding that sticks to the spine and ends up with a lot of gutter loss. So I was surprised when I opened up my new copy and it showed a great sewn binding with zero gutter loss.
I wonder if DC has updated the binding on it, or I just have some weird fluke.

Mine is sewn. Not sure if it's a different printing or what.
That's so weird. The videos and reviews I've seen that mention a glued binding were from a little over a year ago. When did you get yours?

May of this year, I think.

Could DC actually be improving new printings? Is this further proof they're going in the right direction? Goodness, I hope so.

But still discontinuing HCs for Grayson.
Well, I mean, it's still DC.

Personally, I'm more excited for the last BoD issue were we can see if Gilad manages to keep this short run going and not be a complete and utter failure at his job again.

I honestly think he's going to just fail miserably and then the Earth gets so mad it jettisons him into outer space.
I'm excited for the conclusion, but this tie-in is the only one that has me hyped beyond all imagination.

Gilad has to be the butt of every "you had one job" joke.
However, he gets major props for laying the smack down on Unity.

And that's why he ends up angry and in space? That's...probably about as reasonable as most of the rest of the stuff around him.
And fair enough. "Whatever Happened to the Harbingers of Tomorrow?" certainly has a lot of potential to be very interesting from what we've seen.
He basically pulled a hardcor
Very interesting.
Here's a screen cap from a video showing the binding (around August '14):
And here's mine:
Looks like the updated it sometime this year. Well, that's pretty awesome! I wasn't expecting that because the book itself looks the exact same.
