Just buy the OHC's. That's what I did.IDW's trade pricing is the worst. One TMNT TPB is like four issues for $17.99 or something
So who are the real monsters?
Marvel isn't gonna get rid of mutants and the X-Men.

Quoted for new page.
Apparently, they're a publisher that's pushing a new universe and they have some... interesting philosophies.
The interesting bit is how they packed all their #1's into a super pack at retail to push their universe-wide stories. I suppose they're worth checking out.

And you call him rude.
You are talking to someone relatively new to comics and new to this thread. How bloody difficult is to to say "ok, so you want great comics and also want to stretch your dollar. here's some recommendations" and just move on instead of going on some judgmental debate over quality vs quantity.

What. If memory serves, the "muties" there were basically fodder for a pedophile, and got taken out because the dude was just too creepy and wouldnt play ball.

I said what I perceived as condescension set me off. The second quote you took is where that started. The first quote, you'll have to take my word for it that I didn't mean anything by it.
Why do you have to dredge something up that's already over lol

Been a long time since I read the series but those superhumans were the equivalent of the X-men and in one issue they were all wiped out.
Even if Marvel isn't gonna get rid of mutants, the way they're acting and doing it reminds me of The Boys, because of similar themes; the company does what it wants to the characters.

Oh....
Hopefully the first issue won't feel as much of as snoozefest as Low's first issue :V

It's just that Comics GAF was very welcoming to me when I started posting and is very welcoming in general. But discussions like this are what give communities a reputation of being "unwelcoming" or "insular". I've seen it in figure-gaf and a few other communities and just wanted to clear things before we set the discussion aside.
I buy Absolute editions. I am already in the mark camp.

Sounds a bit lukewarm.
That was not my intent, obviously. I don't come here to exert superiority or argue; I come to share my love of comics. There was a miscommunication here and that led to some frustration on my end, which I apologized for.

I've been reading more of Simonson' Fantastic Four. There is a huge jump in overall quality from the first couple of issues to the issue where he started drawing too. Such a fantastic artist.

I'd buy it over Secret Wars tie ins?
Uhh Zombine likes it?
I don't know. im behind because that's what I do not because it blows. Like Ninja Turtles sorta..But I'm behind on that because I buy the trades and they're expensive,

While it's a bit late, I want to chime in that I see nothing wrong with evaluating cost per page. I certainly do so even if it's certainly not the only thing I consider. Dismissing it out of hand isn't very helpful. And yes, I know there's more to what happened here than that, but it was certainly a vibe that could be picked up.
Interesting. The fact that they're basically handing out a collection of vol 1 trades for free is a bit concerning in regards to what I may mean about their future prospects, though. Worth looking at, I guess.

I'm not so sure. They're still incredibly new. Also, Valiant did give out a bunch of #1's around when they first launched on CMX. Hell, a lot of publishers do this.

Mine is m1ndwipe.
So this just showed up - https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/644119263322722304. A 10 inch Kindle Fire that is allegedly dirt cheap.
That's going to be a pretty nice comic device if the screen is any good at all.

I said goddamn. And cheap too? I hope I can buy this from Amazon UK, being in Ireland and all. Might be time to retire the Nook HD+.
If Amazon have any common sense at all they'll give you a $15 Comixology voucher with this device and pre-install CMX. Seriously.
I don't know think anyone knows the price of this yet, but apparently the entire Fire range is going super budget this year and the 6.7 inch one is like $50.

Any of y'all pick up that Street Fighter Charlie Nash book? Hoping it's good but I've never read much of the SF comics so I have no idea if they are usually good? Just can't get off that SFV hype train.

I hear it's OK, though I've not read it myself.
It's generally considered canon to SF5's story, though we won't know that til a few months from now.
I do believe the art would be good though :3
I'm 99% at this point Marvel has changed it's mind about something at the end of Secret Wars, or were working off some operating assumption that wasn't that close to how it actually did end due to misunderstandings (sort of like the Countdown/Final Crisis debacle)

EdgarUVM for me ( I think)
Probably added a prologue thats an issue long laying out all new all different. Hickman said he sent in his last script a while back so if Secret Wars is getting delayed it's likely Ribic just can't keep up. He *is* drawing it like a lunatic. Mad mad good art
Also 9/10 times a book is late it's because of the artists. The other 1/10 is Warren Ellis computer busted

Though, I'll be honest, I don't go on much as of late. And when I do it's not for multiplayer stuff.

The latest series is available in hardcovers (In bold below). The fourth one comes out soon. They are not oversized though, so you might need to further optimise based on art surface area. (And volume, if you care about page quality).
The old ones are slowly being reprinted too. Volume 1 is available. Volume 2 comes out later this year.

Whenever I read a new issue of Star Wars or Darth Vader I go from thinking "I really have to suspend my disbelief in regards to them not mentioning any of these events in Empire due to it all happening 2.5+ years ago" to "Holy shit that was fucking awesome, give me more!"

Infinity Gauntlet was so good this week. I wonder if they'll find an elegant way to tie this to
I still haven't read Tokyo Ghost. Trying to let my hype quiet down a bit before I tackle it.
Siege. This does seem to be 616 Thanos and on the cover of Siege 4 he has the completed gauntlet, presumably acquired here in New Xandar.

I bought it, but my iPad is at home...
Nice! I actually ordered a trade called "Astro City: Family Album" last night from Amazon. I've never read anything from it before, but it looks pretty interesting, and the book was like 225 pages for $10, so it was hard to pass up.
