I agree. I have been reading much more recently.
i've just been walking back and forth staring at my harley statue's paint bump thing debating if i'm exchanging it. No time for reading comics, this is serious.
I did manage to squeeze in Squirrel Girl #4.

SNYDER: Why AMERICAN VAMPIRE Is His Favorite Book, What Comes Next -- And The Finale
"Nrama: Scott, like your work on Batman, American Vampire: Second Cycle possesses your love of bombastic, out of this world action. Right now, the story seems focused on bringing each of the different members of the VMS – past and present – together to successfully prevent the Soviets from launching a nuclear assault on the United States from space while simultaneously eliminating the Grey Trader from beneath the sands of Area 51.
Yet with all these big concepts and setpieces, American Vampire originally struck a chord with readers due to the humanity of its inhuman cast. How are you carrying this element of the story forward amidst the fast-paced chaos?
Scott Snyder: Wait until you see this issue. Something really, really dramatic happens to one of the main characters – either Skinner or Pearl – that’s going to change their overall trajectory. I think you’re going to see it and be like “Wait, what?!”
This arc is literally one of my favorites. It’s not just for the bombast but also for what it sets up for future arcs. Things are coming to a head.
Nrama: So, when that's over is that the definitive end of American Vampire?
Snyder: Something Raphael and I realized was that we don’t ever want to walk away from American Vampire. We’ll end this story; we’ll end this thing, but the truth is we’re probably going to continue with it afterward. It won’t be American Vampire, but maybe it’ll be something like “Present Day American Vampire: Cases.” You know how Mike Mignola does that with Hellboy? We could reunite and bring the characters together for cases. So, we have a whole plan for it."
Last issue next week and upcoming arc would be early 2016

Ah, okay. I thought there was a big lead-up to it with hints and such.
Is issue 39 not needed? I saw that it's included in the trade.

Damn, Millar gets the best artists, doesn't he.
Fake Edit: Changed the link to one with more content.

Well I mean the best writer deserves the best artists.
This is gonna be a good one. Superior was released under Icon, and it's one of my favorite stories ever.

I think that the core issue here is that Green Arrow kind of sucks these days, sadly. Probably not going to see a continuation of the Warg story any time soon.
Which is probably for the best, 'cause the Warg story also kind of sucked.

I don't always love his stuff, but no one can deny that the guy is great at selling.

GAMEPROFF, you were right. Am completely lost in all the random characters and goings on in Days of Future Present. Will skip for now.
Might start the Fourth World series.
Is that a euphemism?

#39 is the end of the Amazo Virus arc, definitely not needed. Do get the Free Comic Book Day issue though (https://www.comixology.com/DC-Sneak...f=c2l0ZS9saXN0L3RhYmxldC9ncmlkTGlzdC9Jc3N1ZXM). It goes 40, FCBD issue, 41 and on.

This is me with every single Grant Morrison story. I always feel like I skipped an issue because I can't make the plot line up in my head.
Millar is really fantastic at comic "moments" and creating compelling characters, but as a fan I can say that my biggest critique is that he has a hard time following through on his work. I loved Supercrooks, but it could have used a few more issues. I feel similarly with Remender's Last Days of American Crime. Great looking book, but it's a little rushed.
Thanks for the help I just bought 40-45, I've only read the first volume of Justice League but I did like it.
Did you read the rest of Morrison's run leading up to Inc? If not you just read the last act of 6 or 7 year long story
Batman Inc. is the end of a pretty fucking big story that's been building over years. If you haven't, there's definitely going to be some stuff that feels lost.
That was all I've read except RIP. I didn't know they were that directly connected, but that probably explains it then.
No problem
Yeah, you need to read the whole thing:
Batman and Son
Batman RIP
Batman and Robin volume 1
Batman and Robin volume 2
Return of Bruce Wayne
Batman and Robin volume 3
Batman Incorporated volume 1
Batman Incorporated The Demon Star
Batman Incorporated Gotham's Most Wanted

Sounds like DC is planning something crazy for #50 issues?
Didio talks about returning to the old continuity through interweaving stories like titan hunt and Superman:
I've never been that hurt over the new 52, but I hope this means the return of some JSA characters.
Guessing Darkseid War ends at #50 (or have they said when it will?) Guessing Anti-monitor will have a heavy hand in the upcoming months. Haven't kept current on JL though.

I'm only six or seven issues into Batman Inc. but I don't think it's a particularly difficult read so far. Although, I have read basically everything leading up to it so that may help. It's certainly more tame than a lot of his other work.
I have all of the JL issues for Darkseid War so far, I really need to read them. I feel like I generally enjoy a lot of what Tim likes so I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

How none of the Vader issue discounted yet?
Marvel don't discount for AAAAAAAges. Like a year plus if ever. I highly doubt they will discount any new Star Wars books pre movie release.
Vol 1 was on sale last week.
In regards to the fat birds specifically, it's just what Ed had said, they're cute and when framed, can be hanged basically anywhere in the house. And with many guests that I've had over, they always get positive comments. That and I'm totally into birds.

Why does he wear the mask!?
It wasn't amazing but I enjoyed it. GA isn't amazing either atm (Sadly) but it's still enjoyable
i guess the lives lost in Benghazi are a joke to you.
I'll see you at the next investigation.
posting four gifs of the person who killed those four Americans, one for each....it's tragic that you would do this. You know who never murdered four Americans? Trump.
Maybe Didio.
Sometimes i'm envious of Republicans, they get to make all the fun arguments
Maybe if i vote for Trump i'll get to be a real conservative.Atlantic City casino owner with no blood on his hands? I don't believe it.
Cliff Chiang moved his original art over to Felix Comic Art from Splash Page...all of the stuff on Splash Page is gone but hopefully it'll show up again on there. I need to continue occasionally looking up that page of Zatanna in her fancy space dress and tiny top hat and then not pulling the trigger on it.
that's on my list of things that is similar to my image vol 1 trades...so many to consume yet so little progress made.
Did you just get Netflix in your country like me?
Nope, I am just lazy. It takes me ages to watch stuff. I also use the USA Netflix like a dirty pirate.
Who can say dumb shit the most in a matter of days?!!?
