Same. I haven't read much Dr Strange but I thought he was great during Hickman's run. Picking up the first issue at least.

We'll see. It's not that Quitely's art is bad, but his faces and the way he draws Scott's head...yeeesh
It's a good value because they pay a 12 year old with basic programming knowledge minimum wage to maintain and develop it.

Still working my way through Daredevil. I've just started hitting the Miller-age stuff and it is a WORLD of difference between the first 11 issues and these.
The first 11 I had to force myself to read with a mind towards their historical significance, but these later ones are legitimately good and flow much more like a modern comic.
Those first issues took a while to read. They were very slow-moving. That sort of shocked me. These newer ones have a lot of action and pep though and I'm really enjoying Miller's penciling work. My comics experience is small but it seems very unique.
Also, I'm totally stoked for Aaron's Doctor Strange as well. I really loved his Ghost Rider, and I've really enjoyed all the Strange stuff that you guys recommended.
MU is a tremendous value but one of the buggiest turds I've ever run across. I got my brother a tablet for his birthday so he could get into digital comics and I know he's downloaded MU and might subscribe. I can't wait for the first text where he's like "Why the fuck is the issue I'm reading now a sample issue?!". Luckily it finally dawned on me that you need to delete any issue doing that, re-enable it for offline reading, and then wait/hope it downloads. For some reason I find when that happens it might take a while before it actually does. This happens to me every day, multiple times.

They are milking the poor girl for all she's worth. Gotta keep up with Marvel and Deadpool though I supposed.

It says others too, so I'm expecting a Harley Quinn #0 kinda deal again
I'd love to be wrong though, I love Amanda Conner

One issue it seems and it implies it's not only her. The 0 thing is probably the best indication of their intent.
Can someone explain the variant cover thing. I am trying to understand it
Get Sejic to draw an issue pls.

I know I've said it before but I highly recommend Conner's artbook. I really like it.

"Oh, that wacky Harley! She's wearing Wonder Woman's costume, only it doesn't fit because she's so petite and she has to hold it up to keep from exposing herself. So saucy! And look at Wonder Woman! She's forced to wear Harley Quinn's costume as a result, only because she's so much bigger and more well-endowed she's practically spilling out of it. Try not to stare, fellas! And look at how exasperated she is, to be putting up with all this! Those raised eyebrows! That eyeroll! Oh, that Harley!"
Better?

nvm misread you
"Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot". "God that never gets old"
It's cheesy, it's sweet, I just liked it. As far as Slott goes, this is one of his better stories for the past couple of years.
Plus it has Bachalo art. Love the guy.

Wait, wat!? I think I always pay $3.99 for MM. Where can I get the $2.99 edition?

Credit cards are easier to deal with than debit, though.

"Rocket Raccoon & Groot" Return with New Marvel Series From Young & Andrade
This seems like a no-brainer for Marvel, really. Still, should be good.
*braces for more Guardians of Infinity jokes*
After headlining their own respective books, fan-favorite Guardians of the Galaxy duo Rocket Raccoon and Groot are back together -- in a new Marvel Comics series appropriately titled "Rocket Raccoon and Groot." Announced Thursday on Marvel.com, the series is set to debut in December and will be helmed by writer Skottie Young and artist Filipe Andrade.
Of course, Young is coming off an 11-issue stint as the writer and frequent artist of a "Rocket Raccoon" solo series. Andrade drew two issues (#7 and #8) of that book. For "Rocket Raccoon and Groot," Young told Marvel.com he's planning to focus on shorter story arcs.
"The first time around, I started ['Rocket Raccoon'] out with a four-issue story arc; I enjoyed doing that but also felt antsy to tell more stories," Young said. "So after I finished the original story arc, I started writing more one and two-shots. I loved diving into new tales with each issue and really letting Rocket have some fun out in the galaxy. This time around, I'll be sticking with that formula the whole time -- really just leaning into the shorter stories."
Young said he's not ruling out contributing to the interior art of this series, but acknowledge he's currently got a full slate. "I have a lot on my plate right now, one of those things being a newborn baby boy, so Im trying to keep a balance. Right now I'm just going to be focus on trying to live up to Filipe and make sure he's happy working on this book with me."
The first arc is described by editor Jake Thomas a riff on "Memento" and "Prison Break," with Rocket Raccoon in place at the head of a crime empire -- but no memory as to how that came to be, and symbols carved onto Groot serving as his clues. "Rocket Raccoon and Groot" is scheduled to debut from Marvel in December.
This seems like a no-brainer for Marvel, really. Still, should be good.

it's a credit/debit card. the bank's handling it after i called them so that's easy, it's just an annoying few days til i get my new card.
Comixology is 2.99
Does that book mean they are done with the solo rocket and Groot.

Don't those always take funds from your account regardless of whether you use them as credit or debit? I have both kinds! >

Amanda Conner's Wonder Woman doesn't look much like Wonder Woman.

Might as well go for the triple. Did you guys see Kotobukiya's Black Panther Fine Art statue yet?

yeah. There used to be a delay in when a cc purchase would transact, and debit would be instant, but now I think they're both instant, the only difference being I sign a receipt or enter my PIN.

If only there were a professional circuit for Connect Four.
Well, you go to this here website, and be willing to pay $220 when it drops in the Spring of 2016. The fine art series isn't like most of their PVC statues. These things are resin, thus the price.
There probably is. Board game people are crazy.
OK perfect
when you say "thus the price" does that mean $220 is relatively high or relatively low? i have no frame of reference for these things.
last thing i need to do is figure out if this thing is going to make me look like a crazy person in the office

I spent an hour sorting my board games today. =(
In my defense, I was very bored and I'm still queasy from my stomach bug, so I can barely play videogames. I did spend some time with Mad Max today, it's still good you guys.

Nah, I meant in regards to PVC statues, which generally range from about $80-$120 for a 1/6 scale. $200 is perfectly reasonable in the world of 1/6 scale resin pieces. This beauty is about the same price:
Oh good, that means another blank cover for me to hoard!
