That was my least favourite so far. 30's good though.

If nothing else the Hellcat book is going to look lovely
This looks good
This is the kind of stuff I was hoping to see more of in ANAD
I had a friend recommend I watch the trailer for that. Then he recommended I read Crossed.
Yeah,
I lost my job last week. Money is drying up quickly.

This looks lovely. How many issues you think we'll get until it's canceled? 12?

12 is probably true but i'll enjoy the ride
She Hulk got 12, 12 might be generous.

Now that looks good, now if the writing is also good I'd have a new Marvel book to read.

Not sure when it was first announced but Kate Leth announced it on her twitter.
Attn: ElNarez
Darryl Ayo has got a pretty good tweet roll going against Frank Cho
'hey, uh, my name is Frank Cho and when i was an Ignatz judge, i nominated MYSELF'
'oh uh my name is Frank Cho, i think i'm fighting for free expression and shaking up the squares but i draw books for Marvel exclusively'
'what up what up what up, it's your boy Frank Cho and i have been pounding this Milo Manara Spider-Woman cover for like a year now.'
'i can't believe that Frank Cho is the eminem, i'm just joking, the Fred Durst of drawing sex comics'
bwahahah
PS: ignore post if you're tired of ElNarez and me talking crap about Cho. Thanks!

I don't like Cho but that Ignatz thing sounds funny
I dig the attention but really, I've moved on, unlike him and Spider-Gwen's ass. Also: darryl ayo's a profollow, get on that.
edit: yo Cho dissed Love And Rockets? how unbelievably wack can the man get, dang
Anyone reading The Fade-Out? I think a new issue is coming out this week. I recently re-read every issue and the story is way clearer in my head and actually much more rewarding on a second read through. Ed Brubaker is a great noir writer.
With that said, I'm just starting his Daredevil run and really looking forward to it.

Finished SiP last night. Often a brutally tough and emotionally draining read, but a truly rewarding experience in the end. Stuff like this and Sunstone are why I wish we had more in the way of well done romance comics these days. Sure, prose romance can also give similar feelings, but that's not really an excuse in regards to the relative weakness on the comic side of things. Also, I wish I had been around do to the reading club for this when it happened.
Overall, this is one of those bittersweet stories to finish. On the one hand, it can't just go on forever, but on the other you kind of wish it did.
It was a massive relief to see a happy ending for Katchoo and Francine at the end, especially since looking over his blog after finishing reveals that Mr. Moore's original plan was "(T)he original ending I had in mind was for them to finally get together, then then something tragic happens to separate them. Because thats how epic love stories work, right?". I'm pretty sure if it had ended up that way I'd have tossed the books off my balcony before curling into a ball to cry for several hours...not that I was without tears to start with during the read.
Ah, poor David. Not always entirely likable, sometimes a bit pathetic, and too willing to play along with the schemes of others, but in the end you were still a good guy. You deserved a better end that you got, but that's just how things often work out.
I mean, it wasn't perfect. All the various things keeping Francine from accepting where she belonged eventually became a bit maddening and the book itself even winked at that fact. The second half was better in that regard since all the various unfortunate and awful stuff that happened to everyone was at least more varied and some of that, in part, is what led to the happy ending.

Brubaker + Phillips best team
I've read the first 4 ish's, but I have the next 3 yet haven't read it yet. It's incredible. I'm going to reread the set soon.
I read the first trade of The Fade Out and liked it but not enough for me to pick up the floppies (I will trade wait). The build-up and suspense was nicely paced but as soon as I started the last issue of the trade, I felt as though there wasn't going to be a "conclusion" and I was right. I would have liked for this particular story arc to finish but it looks like it's being drawn out for upcoming issues. It wasn't so much that it left on a cliffhanger but more on the level of "oh, the story continues".

It really really is. Making me need to step away from something for a bit despite my being totally engrossed in it is quite a trick.

Doesn't matter. Blueno was the first to have his tekkai broken (by the third strongest member on the team) and his next fight against Luffy was lost handily. Blueno won nothing, unless you count beating up Galley-La randoms (and some of the head workman).
Not feeling this, but we'll see how it goes.
So apparently the Terrigen Mist is not only killing mutants, but it's also sterilizing the mutants that are still alive. Ms. Marvel is also alluding towards this.
I look forward to seeing that, since I'm really enjoying Bendis' run.
Don't care. His art on Morrison's run is not good.You done fucked up now, kid
Because they aren't replacing mutants with Inhumans? The hate erection is real, apparently.

29 was super easy.
D-Walker + Gattling gun = LOLOLOLOL. I finished that shit in under three minutes. The gattling gun eviscerates that Skulls.
I like. Who's the official art-er on that book?
Great story. Romance comics were pretty uncommon for a while, but they seem to be making a comeback. Marvel's Secret Love one-shot was also really great. As for Sunstone, I don't think Sejic ever expected it to take off the way that it did, but it's a consistent Amazon best-seller now.

I didn't find it too tricky. It's just I always prefer the stealthier side of MGS.

We'll see. There's clearly a market for them, at least.

You guys and your "romance."

Jesus Christ, you guys act like you're dropping fucking revelations. Everyone knows what kind of art Frank Cho does. And that's fine, that's his thing. Just like J. Scott Campbell has his thing.

Thank you! Need something to get me past these remaining 45 mins. at work.
BKs right. I can't think of a book where the writing and the art are further apart than New X-Men.
They both suck and don't understand the context in which they do what they do and, like one of those tweets says, why it's creepy. I really like their particular school of art, just not either of them.
But all I did was thank Ed for posting. I know Frank has no chill (I read the tweets), but do you? No one is really acting like they're presenting revelatory info here. You seem more bothered than anyone else.

Makes it tougher to read than it should be, but it's not dealbreaker levels of bad. I'm still compelled to read it.
Yeah, same here. It's a great read, it's just rough on the eyes.

It's also probably the grossest X-book I've ever read. Like...just gross.
Gross in what way? Art? Political?
No no, there's just some nasty shit in it. Gross in the "I might barf" sense.

Something better? You seem, shall we say, confused.
Disagree but then again I don't look down on others with different tastes than mine.
