Speaking of Spurrier, how was X-Men Legacy? I heard it was great.

Not something I would expect many people would like but I thought it was very good. The depiction of Legion as he battles insecurity even though he is one of the most powerful characters was handled really well. Something you don't see often.

Here is a great write up on it from comicsalliance

That piece convinced me to try it out and the series convinced me to try anything out Spurrier does in the future.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

All this Spurrier talk reminds me that I gotta read The Spire 2

I'll give Marvel Zombies a look once the trade is out

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

Asked in last month's thread, but it was closed shortly after. Would be surprised if anyone had read any of them, but just in case...

So I saw that all of the Farscape comics are on sale. I am sure they are not great or anything, but is there any enjoyment out of them possible if you were a fan of the show?

Randomly got the urge to read something with Songbird (marvel) in it, any good storylines with her involved recently?

I don't know anything terribly recent, but Songbird is a Thunderbolts character, first and foremost. If you're familiar with Civil War, Warren Ellis' run of Thunderbolts picks up right after that. It's two arcs over twelve issues and it's great. It changes authors, but it's still good afterward. I'm reading it now.

Songbird is cool. She's going to be a great Avenger.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

The art for that looks phenomenal but I'm not so sure about the story yet. Gonna have to hear more on that.

Ryan Kelly is an incredible artist.

Last book I read with him was Three, a book about three slaves taking on 300 Spartans, also basically a big fuck off to the glorification of the 300 Spartans story.

Songbird's a pretty consistent fixture through the various Thunderbolts series. Thunderbolts Classic, Warren Ellis' Thunderbolts and Jeff Parker's Thunderbolts all prominently feature her, and they're all pretty great.

She's also going to be in the upcoming New Avengers series.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Got the Lady Killer trade. Bout to go get dinner and maybe I'll start it tonight. Art looks cool.

 

[Busaiku]

Good issue.

I did not like the art.

 

[PsychBat!]

I did not like the art.

Don't worry. The variant cover is good.

 

[Owzers]

Hmmmm finished Mad Max Fury Road, that was quite a movie but i think i preferred the Road Warrior to it. There is a thing as moving too fast, i felt like the first half of Fury Road was being watch while fast forwarded and that Road Warrior had more character too it. Fury Road was a great spectacle though.

Yeah Civil War is where I started to like her character, randomly popped into my head this afternoon lol.

Two for two, I will hunt a few of these issues down and see if it hooks me.

Road Warrior = Better Pacing
Fury Road = Better Villain/Furiosa/bigger spectacle

Humongous is kind of lackluster with the exception of his look.

 

[Busaiku]

Don't worry. The variant cover is good.

Did not know there was one.
Was part of my subscriptions, so I didn't check it out on the rack.
Hopefully my store still has it.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I haven't read a damn thing today. Metal Gear is all. Metal Gear is life.

You are a disgrace to your avatar.

Have i ever told you to watch Wake in Fright? Because you should watch Wake in Fright.

How much time have you put in so far?

 

[Freezasaurus]

How much time have you put in so far?

Not much, really. I don't get a ton of time to play on weeknights. Maybe 5 or 6 hours so far.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Yeah I have the same problem. Especially now while I'm trying to get through three and a half more season's of Doctor Who in the next two weeks.

I'll be picking it up this weekend though. I'll need periodic breaks from the Doctor.

I did not make the connection before and holy shit this book is gonna rule.

 

[Freezasaurus]

He also did the art for Local, which he did with ComicGAF's sweetheart, Brian Wood.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

How much time have you put in so far?

I've got 13 hours so far. I called in sick yesterday to play though; an hour is what I can manage on most weekdays.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Criminal just gets better and better, phew.

Yep. Three is also the last good book Kieron Gillen has done.

I'm sorry, Lord Vader would like a word with you.

Watch kids reacting to the big scene in ESB on youtube.

Mercury Heat dude. And Phonogram just started again. The heck are you on?

 

[Squire]

Seige says what's good

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Read through all of Lady Killer volume 1.

Fun read all the way through, even if it did get rather gruesome at the end. Joelle Jones's art is lovely and I really dug the style and setting. The covers being parodies of old ads and whatnot was great stuff.

Is there going to be any more of this?

 

[Serpentine]

I will come to your Wal-Mart and fight you

I believe that's the plan, because i think it was pretty successful. don't quote me on this

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Neat. I'm down for more.

Finally settled on what to get from the Fantagraphics sale. Ended up with Megahex and some Love and Rockets. Didn't need to buy as much as I did buuut I figure it'll be fun.

 

[Tizoc]

Daredevil was great and all, but these were the best cape books of the week.

STOP TAUNTING ME!
Amazon has them listed as 'On the way' for me for near a day now T.T

 

[ElNarez]

yo: how fucking good was that last Omega Men goddamn

 

[Zombine]

Have i ever told you to watch Wake in Fright? Because you should watch Wake in Fright.

Will watch for sure. This looks badass. I had no idea that it even existed.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

OK, so my copy of Phantom Pain would have arrived in October
Ordered a new one and got a 20€ voucher...

 

[Mindwipe]

Just coming to the end of book 2 of Batman: Knightfall.

A lot of this reads like a parody of how grimdark the 90s were. But, y'know, it's not.

Also Jean Paul is kinda like a Gamergate parody twenty five years early.

 

[Owzers]

Amazon is ruining my statue buying plans for easier paint returns, Lois Bombshell was at 20% off and i was waiting to order until it got just a tad bit salier but now it's temporarily out of stock and the Batman Jock statue i wanted is also temp out of stock and never went on sale, put an order in for the Lois but statues were a mistake.

Still hoping my Batwoman Bombshell pre-order at dcbs isn't disappointing quality-wise.

Also, i'm going to read comics today. After watching Mad Max Fury Road yesterday it felt like i drank a lot of caffeine and was on edge. Stop speeding up footage people, tooooo fast.

 

[ThyMusicMan]

DCBS drives me crazy waiting for the new month to update... the suspense

what if they don't update because comics are over?

 

[Tizoc]

So unbeknownst to me, amazon appears to have decided to ship the following items TOGETHER, which I expected to be released weeks apart-
DanganRonpa AE
Black Panther Vol. 1 by Chris Priest
Capcom Tribute Fanart book
One Punch Man Vol. 1 and 2

Never have I been freaking out over reading 'Preparing for shipment' 3 days in a row before :V

 

[GrandHarrier]

what if they don't update because comics are over?

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Man, I want to get back into One Piece, but the Fishman's Island arc is so struggle lol

Hilariously, that's what I've been doing since Marineford lol I'm almost done too, I think.

Oh damn... then I'd be a wealthy man haha

 

[Poodlestrike]

yo: how fucking good was that last Omega Men goddamn

It was okay. Definitely a lot slower, and I'm not terribly fond of the guest artist's work here.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Slow day today, huh? Everybody must be playing MGS5.

Spoiler

yes Zombine, we know you're not
