Have a long car ride this weekend and thinking of buying Deadly Class, Black Science and Low from that comixology sale. Anything else worth picking up?
I want to cry
Strange Girl is supposed to be good. All three of those range from good to holy shit amazing though so you have Remender covered.
My goodness what an epic reading journey you will have.
Starting with a kick in the nuts then ending with a kick in the nuts. Only time I'll frame that as being a positive.

Sounds like I should be set then. Thanks guys!
Don't you like Squirrel Girl?
Plutona #1 was great.
Love it. Feared for its cancellation. Tears of happiness.
Mie GIVE THE GIRL BACK HER FUCKING JACKET YOU SELFISH PRICK

He's crying tears of joy. He'll only cry real tears when one of the other hijinks books get cancelled which is likely to happen on the DC side at some point. I'm continuously pleased that Gotham Academy is still ongoing.
Real talk.
I also cry at sad moments in comics. I thought deadly Class would get me this issue but it didn't. Earlier issues did though. I had a gif and everything.
Low has made me visibly angry at times with what characters do.
I love emotions.
Oh, MORE DOREEN SUCKAS!

It's a sad book especially when you are looking at these characters who think they have no way out doing shit that is likely to get them killed or worse on a continuous basis. He's writing the shit out the book and really nails the hopelessness feeling I had as a teen. I should catch up with Low now that it's on sale.
Lol Inside Out is the perfect way to represent how I feel reading comics.
Low has that same feeling of hopelessness vs hope. It is so bleak but the moments of hope are so much stronger for it.
Yeah the first couple of issues certainly have that gut punch feeling. Even in Uncanny X-Force his character work is insane.
I'm happy
Such a great book. I think I liked Justice even more. You read that one yet? Also, what version is that? My cover looks like this:

My left wrist is hurting a bit today after not having bothered me in quite a while. I think it may be related to holding the awkward SiP book. x_x

Evidence #758 that Marvel has no idea how to handle the floppy=>trade bidness.
Point being that we know that SG monthly sales aint anything exceptional, but then her trade goes and does something like that.

Yayyyyyyyy
We warned you that if you didn't use the official comicgaf omnibus reading position you would get injured. But nooooo you didn't listen. We have a picture of it for a reason Sarah.
Feel better soon
It has to be doing well digitally like Ms Marvel is.

Actually I think they know exactly what they're doing. North has been on the Bestseller list before. That book was designed to shine in the retail market. Any sales as floppies are probably just gravy.
comics injuries never heal too as a reminder that books are best left unread.

Ah, but I have been! The issue is needing to hold it differently to keep from shutting on itself + the thickness.
Are you saying Kipps system is flawed?

I dunno what cover that is. An older one for sure. I bought the book a while ago at a local comic con....that's why it's a TPB and not hardcover. I know my LCS has the absolute edition of KC for sale...might be worth it.
I own and have read Justice. It's actually one of the few events I have in floppies. I also think Justice was a bit better, but I think the event being 12 issues is why. Alex Ross is incredible. I need to find more of his work.

Head Lopper is a whole lot of comic for $5.99. @_@

I'm trying to decide if I can get away with cutting out at 4 today. On the one hand, I skipped lunch. On the other hand, I've had literally nothing to do all day due to some fun IT hangups stopping me from getting to any of my work. So it's possible that it could be argued that rather than taking no lunch, I took an 8 hour lunch.
Decisions.
Decisions.

Met MacLean at Heroes one year. Great dude. Nice to see him on the i-side.
How many pages?

23 + 13 of extra art
People don't like Traviss because she tends to fixate on fantasy, unsustainable warrior cultures that she absolutely obsesses about. These people will invariably be the biggest, baddest motherfuckers on the block to the detriment of characters who already exist in the shared universe. Also she hates, and she'll make sure you know about it, even if it goes completely against everything that already been written. Hence the Jedi turning into amoral, incompetent assholes who can't stand a chance against the glorious Mando'ad (and I won't even touch what she does to the Jedi heroine of the Clone Troopers series) or basically everyone hating on Dr. Catherine Halsey for running the highly unethical SPARTAN II program that arguably saved the human race... including the shady Office of Naval Intelligence officials who directed her to run it. That said, she is a competent writer despite those foibles.
Wendig is just unreadable. It's a shame because the premise was pretty good and it'd be nice to have books with female characters that didn't die pointlessly at the end.

He's publishing it quarterly, but each issue is huge. Gotta be close to 100 pages, no ads, couple of pinups at the end.
In. So in.

Agree with everything Birdie said.
I think this'll be good. If Inhuman is any indication, Soule should be right at home.

He said #17, not #15, though.
Gah,I misread. Tissues regardless.
