Y'all might want to look into getting Atomic Robo. Fantastic book.
Or hell, just read it on their website, 'cause it's free and really pretty great.
WOW that's an awful haircut he's got in Hulk form.

Real talk, I'm seriously a bit worried about Messi. :x
The answer to all of the above is comics.

Trying to convince Marvel not to make Silk a villain by curling up in the lobby, rocking back and forth and saying "Silk is a good girl" over and over to himself.

specials:
Ultimates #1
Wolf vol 1 tp
rest:
Invincible Nameless 6 of 6, Paper Girls, Saga, Walking Bread.

Huck, The Goddamned, Unfollow, Citizen Jack, James Bond, Klaus, Ringside, Black Science #17 depending on if i start to wait for OHCs or continue monthly, and just a ton of Marvel books like ANAD Avengers #1 and 2, Deadpool #1 and 2, Illuminati #1, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Venom Space Knight 1, Vision 1.
Iffy times we live in, if only Messi were here.

An initially promissing Waid arc that focussed on Hulk Smash, Banner Build + rivalry with stark and the other great intellects that proceeded to get considerably worse as it advanced, reorienting to prioritize the Hulk bits, which then got picked up by Duggan, who shat on the character and everything around it with Doc Green and further developments.
Like, it was so grotesquely bad that i'll always be wary of stuff Duggan writes, even though he has obviously put some very solid stuff with other characters out there.
Duggan left the character with Doc Green phasing out of existence and Banner sexing it up with Betty Ross, who he dehulked (along with her pa, rick jones, and nearly ever other hulk he managed to get close to). This is a post i did while going through the last ishs of duggan's run. It's pretty accurate. The "filled with" lines aren't paraphrased. They're exactly like that in the book.

I wouldn't worry yet. He's probably job hunting.

Well shit.
Last Hulk story I read was the tie-in with Inhumanity. It was alright, considering it took up a good chunk of that book.
I've basically realized that I have no interest in Hulk as a character at this point in my life.

I'm trying to put my finger on the issue so I can agree with you, but honestly all I can do is agree with you :3

I'm glad they milked this for as long as they did and that they were able to keep it a secret until the reveal.

I'm not expecting a whole lot given the artists they have lined up, but this is a great homage. though i think Dale Keown drew both anyway

Tell me someone is making a thread in the OT for the 90s Marvel variants. Too good.
"Special investigator, not a beat cop on patrol" kind of sums it up. The scene doesn't work to me; it just seems like Batman called Gordon to say, "hey, come check out this dead body I found. I don't need your help with it or anything, I just wanted you to come see it. It's weird right?"

Awesome, thanks. After moving last week I'm closer than ever to going full digital. My back just can't take it.

Dude just lost his shitty job let him celebrate by watching Olivia Wilde films in peace.
Sooo... thought I was going to finish up Invincible Iron Man last night... but then it turns out it's one of those stupid situations where the 2 Omnibuses they put out should've had a third, and then it just never came out. Guess I'll have to pick up the rest in trades at some point, lame...
Also, I was kind of annoyed by the
Also, I was kind of annoyed by the
"let's trick people into controlling our drones with a mobile game" thing. Like, I realize I should be able to suspend disbelief with all the other crazy, questionable stuff going on. But I mean first you need to assume that their games have reached the level of perfect realism for that to not raise eyebrows (which is to be fair totally possible with all the crazy tech around in universe. Though in thinking on it, I'm willing to bet the level of videogame tech available in universe is probably wildly inconsistent and I doubt editorial is thinking carefully and keeping an eye on how videogames are written.) But yeah, even then, the idea that nobody would link the game and the attacks and it wouldn't be figured out like immediately is just really ridiculous. Then again, I'm sure there's plenty of examples of the general public in the Marvel universe being none to clever as well, I guess. I don't know, it's a dumb thing, but it did totally bug me.
Scarily close to the truth

1) Jesus fuck huge pic
2) They're really milking Star Wars, now. C-3PO? He's a great supporting character, but not interesting enough to base a comic on.
Star Wars comics have dominated comic sales all year, no reason for Marvel to stop now. It's just a one shot as well.

Is your avvy the old Kenner R2-D2? Because damn, I had one of those when I was a kid.

I read 12 issues of East of West yesterday. I guess you can say I'm hooked. Love the world Hickman is building.
They ain't crazy.
I don't think there's two many SW books. Not ready any yet, but it sounds like they're all solid with good talent working on them. That really doesn't need to be the case at all. I'm still not thrilled with mostly throwing the EU under the bus with more blatantly mining some of the genuinely great stuff it had from it, but this new EU has some solid builders laying the groundwork.
There are better writers on the comics than the movies. Dead serious.
Eh...that is going a bit far. Let's not kid ourselves Lawrence Kasdan and Rian Johnson run circles around every writer over at Marvel. The comics have really damn good talent behind them though.
i started it and turned it off because it had subtitles, same reason i only flip through comics and don't read the bubbles full of letters. How am i supposed to post on comics-gaf and read subtitles a the same time? Do you have any idea how this will effect my post count?
Thank you for being concerned about me. I am good, I just had a bad day or two and was in a bit of a depression hole. Getting better slowly. I would never do something drastic or harmful to myself in situations like this. But again, thank you for the concern. Its nice to think some of you cared enough to notice I wasnt here.

Fuck yeah tonsilitis.
Also reading The Black Mirror. 80 pages in, still hasn't clicked. Sure could use some Damian.
Oh yeah, i can neither confirm nor deny that ever since i've started reading Kongou Banchou my phallus grew 10 inches (sitting at an ok 20in) and my chest became a hairy jungle.

Been reading it lately, it's damn good. Murata does great work on the art front, and the story is solid as well.

Thor #369 - #374: Things are slowing down a bit from the earlier hell-for-leather pace. And I am enjoying that change. The issue with Thor as Sigurd was great. The introduction of the x-men and other more regular cape villains is an interesting change, though the focus is still on Thor's own journey.
I love the titles of the issues. It is funny to see such puns in classical font headlining these stories.
"Though Hel Should Bar the Way!"
"Ragnarok & Roll!"
"Like a Bat Out of Hel!"
"Thor Croaks!"
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, or, It's Not Easy Being Green"

He's in the Secret Wars version, yes.
