So many New52 series I read this year, and it's been the same refrain in all of them.

Is the Tim Drake Batman Beyond any good? I've read all of the Batman Beyond comics up to and including Future's end. I hated how that ended and pretty much swore off the new BB comics with Tim Drake. However, now im wondering if theyre worth a read or not.

I am not reading it myself but it's been getting good buzz here (except maybe the first issue)
I refuse to read it, Terry's the only Batman Beyond and this is blasphemy.

Korupt seems to dig it, which means I probably will, but I'm waiting for the first collected edition/trade to come out. I'd recommend the same, we're 5 issues in.

Yea thats pretty much my thoughts on it too, but i still kinda want to know if its at least a good read.

The first 2 issues of Tim Drake BB were slow but the last few issues have been amazing. It's one of the few books that really ties in all of the DCU post-convergence. The way it plays off past DCU history is a treat to read.
Click in and have a look....own every book that isnt star wars. fuck. lol.

Is Captain Falcon even able to hover? How could they pull off that kiss without crashing into each other?
That ANAD Avengers cover is as gorgeous as if hoped.
Agreed. Best Avengers book last week easily.

The two of them crashing into each other would have made for a hilarious cover.

Maybe that's exactly what's going on. It's not a kiss, it's a freeze frame at the moment of collision.

The sale is for all Marvel books (minus MAX and Icon), not just what is listed on the sale page. It is up on Comixology as well.

Enjoy! They're all fantastic reads.I've been ill for the last couple of weeks and haven't really done much will all my free time so seeing as how I've got another week off I'm going to jump head first into the Mignolaverse. I've already got the first 3 library volumes and 2 hardcovers for B.P.R.D so that should keep me going for a minute. Total bummer that Dark Horse don't have any planes to reprint the B.P.R.D hardcovers anytime soon as 3 is nigh impossible to get without paying out of your arse, going to have to go paperback for that.
Looking forward to getting round to the 1940's collection and the book they did with Alex Maleev. Frankenstein comes out next month as well I think so that should be cool.

Super advanced review of American Alien.

Oh cool. Might clear out a bit of my wishlist then.
I am down with that pairing of Cap and Thor but I hope it makes sense. Cap has the perfect love interest already tho :/ Beautiful cover.

It was during Infinite Crisis, since volume 1 Villains United is a set-up for that.
Don't worry, it threw me off as well.
Not a New52 book
They're not bad, I just keep wishing it was Terry.
Minireview: Just finished Captain America: Castaway in Dimension Z (both trades). I'll have to say I didn't really like it. A lot of the plot revolves around Arnim Zola's kids, who each completely (and suddenly) invert their personalities at different points in the story. I do always appreciate John Romita Jr's art at least.
It could be that I might just not like Remender's writing that much. There's a bit of a mean streak (characters are introduced only to be quickly killed off in nasty fashions) that reminds me of Mark Millar.

Yes and no.
Bane yes, but Knockout dying actually happened in the very first Birds of Prey issue after Simone left.

And of course it looks like that Birds of Prey trade is out of print.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Yeah, I assumed emphasis but some words are randomly bolded and the voice inside my head gets confused whilst reading
"Hello there my name is Bob"
Ok Captain Falcon.
So is Odinson MIA or Jane's condition better?

Which one? I only read the pre-New 52 series with White Canary and such.
He's still around you can see him in the spread for the Thor book. Not really sure what the deal is with Jane yet.

Man I spent so much money last year when they did this. Good thing I don't have much to choose from this time
And I fear what I'd do if DC ever did one of these

Think I'll pick up Cap and Spider-Man in the BOGOF sale. Didn't really want to pay 4 quid for Spider-Man alone but £2 is fine.
I loved Hickman's New Avengers but what I've seen of the new series doesn't look like it'll appeal to me. I might have gone for that otherwise.

Odinson seems to be a supporting character in Jane's book, like Hagi says. Her conditions however is getting worse and it is (or might be) because of her powers. That's the initial premise for the new book.
Presumably we're talking about an issue that'll be resolved in 5-6 issues.
They are starting to reprint Birds of Prey like Secret Six next month or end of this month.
I'd hope so.
Even though I'm not keen on the relationship I really like what that cover with Jane and Sam represents, not going back to the status quo with ANAD is something I really like. Hopefully they can both stay as their respective titles for a lot longer, especially Jane.

It will take forever to get through the series, though, given that it's over 140 numbered issues between Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (Which covers the pre-Flashpoint BoP), plus a few one-shots and minis. I mean, the first new trade won't even reach the BoP series proper. I'll also admit that I haven't read really anything of Dixon's run on the book, I've only read most of Simone's original run (missing a few trades worth) and then the rest of Vol. 1 and all of Vol. 2.
Yeah, they seem to really in it for the long haul. That's what they say and everything suggests it really is the case.
Might wanna check those scenes again.
He tells his brother straight up its not like that. I think the relationship and the drama that'll come from it is being set up right there.
I get that, but at least they are doing it. a few of those Gail books are oop.
It's like the SS collections, it's going to be like ~15 books per collection, which isn't bad. Maybe the raids it to twenty given its a bigger series.
This is great news though! First I'd heard of it.

Yeah, out of print and not easy to find cheap. Hence my missing trades from my edit. I'm super glad the reprints are happening, I just wish they were happening slightly faster. Simone's BoP runs, at least, are fantastic.
It's up there. Maybe I should use my lazarus Olivia avatar again.
Is there Matt Damon growing potatos in space in this movie?
Olivia Wilde is all you need in a movie.
Maybe.
I might watch Tremors 5 tonight or start iZombie on netflix....after i get bored of MGS 5.
