The new 52 stuff more or less carries on from previous continuity. I'd say the Green Lantern Rebirth miniseries is a good place to start. Since that was the precursor to his Green Lantern run iirc.

Brother, I promise you I do not. There really isn't that much happening with the MCU. Not enough to necessitate a guide. I love the movies, but that definitely frustrates me.
Aftermath is utter trash, and is only "Star Wars" in the sense that Wendig used a good character that somebody else created and then took a bunch of references he pulled up on Wookiepedia and then used them in hilariously inappropriate contexts. Many of the (poor to below average) old EU authors could have written a better, less incompetent book. Hell, even Karin Traviss is more readable and everyone hated her.
Greg Rucka is a vastly superior prose writer and if he were writing a 3 book series instead of a 4 issue comic miniseries the resulting work would be far superior in quality and scope.

Those assholes! I was just praising them for not tempting me with a sale for a while. But now here I am about the hit "confirm sale" on 16 issues of Black Science and 18 issues of Strange Girl! I hope their happy!
One of my favorites. Don't love the new artist but she's certainly not bad.

Yes, yes it is.
I should have asked if anyone wanted todo a ComicGaf Fantasy Football league
I was wanting to do 2nd this year

LOL
It's been a while since I read it but I think Dark Victory makes it a little less vague.
Wendig has really ruffled some feathers it seems.

Eh, I didn't mind Traviss that much. She was very good at writing military fiction, that much is certain. But man, I'm enjoying Aftermath so far. Do you dislike it that much or are you just having a hard time letting go of the old EU?

Friendly reminder, the Valiant Groupees Bundle #1 ends in a few days.
For the new guys, if you know nothing of Valiant, they are some of the best cape books on the market, giving DC/Marvel a serious run for their money in the creative department. The bundle is an exceptional value and provides numerous entry points into the universe.

and don't listen to whatever Freeza says about Valiant, she hasn't read a single issue

It's primarily a thinly veiled cash grab and nothing more, but at this point in the game I can understand why some would be confused by that universe and need a guide to understand it.
It IS basically comics in movie form after all.
I mean I know people who were confused when The Avengers came out. Let alone all everything that's going on now.

Confused by The Avengers? How? The MCU movies couldn't be more accessible.
Marvel TV announced their panels for NYCC. Shield/Agent Carter on Friday, and Jessica Jones/Daredevil on Saturday.
Might actually sit through the entire episode of Shield they're showing to see the Agent Carter stuff.
Jessica Jones panel is the same time as the Street Fighter V one and bumps up against the charity auction though.

This bundle is a great deal; for $15 bucks you get something like two dozen TPB's. I already owned half of them and it was still a very good deal for me.
Oh, Remender sale eh? Though I'm probably covered by this point.
Yeah. One of my favorites.

Really hoping that "unexpected new role" MJ is playing isn't the role everyone is already assuming she's going to play, that of new love interest. I mean, she can't be with Peter because he's got too much Spider- drama, but she can be with Stark who has too much Iron- drama? Come on people. Also, how sad is it that nobody at Marvel had anything planned for her so Bendis said "I'll take her!"

Super hyped! And yeah, I'm already picking up all of that as well, other than Detective Comics and Teen Titans. So that's nice.
And Gotham Academy still lives, suck it Freeza and Bleeding Cool guy!
And OMG Tom King is writing the main book, YUSSSSS

god why do people have these knee jerk reactions to literally five words instead waiting to see what the story is.
it's the same mentality of people just skimming comics and finishing them in four minutes.
all that matters is the plot points and sometimes even less.
X IS GOING TO BE IN Y BOOK? FUCK THIS WRITER I HATE FOR SOME REASON EVEN THOUGH HE WROTE DAREDEVIL.
whatever, comics.
OK, where can I read Bendis take on 616 MJ? I dont think that he will let Tony hook up with a underaged MJ from a dead mutliverse.
This Dark Knight 3 release is a fecking mess. Mini comics, collectors comics released aferwards, slipcases. Im definitely holding off on this shit and if it does turn out good just picking up the eventual HC.
And that's hilarious with MJ and Tony. Tony is more of a trainwreck than Peter ever was and has a shit load more baggage. If they are getting into a relationship thats a total downgrade for MJ.

yeah but i really liked moonstone once and quasar and
GOD ENOUGH
theres no patience anymore, no joyful curiosity
but i get it
i no longer have the patience for this grotesque cynicism
nor am i joyfully curious to see what people are going lash out at with no cause next
comics are better than they have ever been in my lifetime, and its audience is devolving into the absolute worst ive ever seen it, mired in cynicism and entitlement, clinging to old stories and expectations, reacting to new ideas, or even the THREAT of new ideas like a dracula reacts to a dropped windowshade at 12 noon.
Comics? Guys? Secretly?
THEY'RE FUN.
HAVE FUN.
honestly what's wrong with you guys? what makes you say "FUCK BENDIS" without reading a single story detail? a single sentence of context?
what's the thought process here?
actually, i don't give a fuck.
never mind.
Comics = WWE

"I walked into Tony's dressing room, and he was getting out of the shower and the drops of water...just glistening..."
I'm sure she appears at some point during his Avengers runs. You'd think it would be enough that he's written the best version of her ever conceived but nope fuck Bendis put 616 MJ back into irrelevancy.
I'm just going to stick to reading Star Wars and Valiant from now. Nobody moans about them, hell nobody even acknowledges the latter's existence except Super Shrill.

When are characters gonna start cutting promos?

And there is one other who acknowledges.
The Joyless One
Yeah, I forgot all these unoverhearable talk about her appearences in his Avengers runs. People only remember her because of this.
When they get sponsored by Twix full time.
no no Shrill is right because when you talk Valiant a loud piercing sound rings through my head. I like to imagine you sound like Monokuma in real life.
That Gotham Academy cover is hype. So thankful it's still not cancelled. I was worried 12 would be the end with the second trade.

Freeza took a day trip off the wicked and the divine train and hopped right back on. She probably still bought all the issues lol.

Cynicism is killing comics discussion
Luckily, miraculously, it's not killing great comics. Mostly.
But yeah, I'm over this shit. They can have their comics internet. I'll take the comics.
