Prez continues to be a brilliant book. It's consistently one of my favs on any week it comes out.

Totally agree. Love it and it is nowhere near as appreciated as it should be.

the Justice League: Darkseid War. Batman 1-shot was good. Batman has been a dick since he sat in the Mobius chair but wow i didnt think it would go that far. Interesting to see how much time they will spend on the end in the next JL issue.

Does anyone have an extra digital code for Kanan: The Last Palawan #7? I'm happy to pay for it. 
I typically buy codes on eBay, but there doesn't appear to be any available for this issue.

Black Magick is good. The writing is solid, the art is gorgeous, and if I understand the premise right, it's a mystery I want to keep up with.
Seriously, the art though. It's the difference between reading an uncolored comic and reading one designed to be black and white. (It's colored to be that way, but you get what I mean.)

Seriously! I just discovered it and I love it.
I also didn't know the New Prez was a reboot of this comic

You never read Sandman?

Prez #5. Great book.
I also read Art Ops (okay, but needs better writing), Twilight Children (fantastic -- and how could it not be with Gilbert Hernandez from Love and Rockets and Darwyn Cooke), still liking JL 3001, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl was great, and Dakseid War: Batman was fun.

"Darkseid War" is just a really cool name for an arc.
Earth 2 should have been called "Apokolips War".
Would have grabbed my interest so much harder.
So, can there be a book strictly dedicated to a civil war on Apokolips? The DCAU had that arc running in the background of JL and JLU, but never showed much of it. I was always very curious about the details.

Seven Soldiers: Zatanna
Four part mini from Grant Morrison. Awesome writing with good art and a few gorgeous spreads. The ending is lovely. I just finished it this week. I'm reading all of SS though.

I still haven't finished the first one. I made it to the basement I think and then encountered a glitch wherein the pursuer was walking on the spot, in the air. Lol. It's truly an unsettling experience though!

The Bloodspell OGN. Although Black Canary is in it too.
Its a horrible scary game.
Green Lantern: Blackest Night takes place during, and interweaves with the main book. You probably should read them simultaneously (alternate issues).

It's not on the same level quality-wise as Dini's work, but Jeff Lemire's Justice League Dark features Zatanna in a lead role. It's a team book though, so I'm not sure if you'll be interested in reading it. I thought it was fun and enjoyed Zatanna's banter with Constantine.
With the update there's an insane amount of content in it now for $15.
I hope you enjoy it and the sexy hijinks doesn't catch you off guard.
He said aside from Dinis stuff. Dini wrote that.
Also why you implying black Canary being in it is a bad thing. She is great in it.
Step off girl.

Was playing Halo all day yesterday, so I'm getting caught up on comics now that I'm at work and have some plenty of free time. REQ packs are an addiction and will be the ultimate cause for my destruction.
Cyborg #4 was solid. Felipe Watanabe was sharing penciling duties this week, and he did okay, but you could definitely see the difference; he's not nearly as good at capturing the super creepy baddies. Speaking of the baddies, their story and the whole alternate world they come from continues to be the most interesting part of the book, but things are looking up, generally speaking. The writing is in a better place now overall. I'm still worried that the author won't be able to keep things going after this arc, because, again, the villains are far and away the best part.
The whole "don't mess with things you don't understand" message would land a little better if we weren't talking about a comic book 'verse where home grown mad science easily outstripping the technowhatevers regularly shows up on Earth. For god's sake there's sentient nanotech androids in the plaza.
Overall rating of pdle/poodle. Good, but lacking something.
BTW, is this a sex thing? Because I'm pretty sure this is a sex thing:

The last civil war I remember was when a
brainwashed Superman joined a revolution on Apokolips as a sleeper agent for darkseid, leading the revolution into a trap that slaughtered them all.

These Amazon prices on Marvel books are funny. Pay $15 for 5 issue of Old Man Logan Vol. 0 or for the same amount of issues you can pay $10 for Spider-Gwen Volk. 0. It's because Old Man Logan is a Secret Wars tie-in right?
You mean the Kindle prices?

Those are physical prices.

I don't want to buy The Cursed Earth again. I just got the Mega Collection version a few months ago.
I probably will though.

I have some books for sale. IST prices are listed for comparison. My prices are in red and include shipping. buy more than one book and it goes down in price!
Oh my goodness. Just over a month ago when I last posted my collection so far, it looked like this:
Now today it looks like this (other than Words of Radiance which is a novel):
WHAT AM I DOING. And that top left shelf will be replaced with Brightest Day Omnibus, Multiversity Deluxe, and Solo Deluxe when they come in the mail over the next few days.
Okay, I really need to slow down. I have Christmas presents that I need to start buying soon, so I need to block out my current obsession.

I might be in the minority here but they should have kept it black and white. The uncoloured pages look ten times better.

That's the spirit. I've already started, just small things but I'm getting there. I'm going to be totally organised this year, so I can spend most of December doing as little as possible.
That's EXACTLY what I want to do, too. I hate having such a chaotic December trying to buy everything at once.

Robin son of Batman #5 wraps up the first arc and launches straight into the second one. Art was amazing. Writing continues to be strong. Looking forward to watching
interact with Damian.
I gotta say, this series is not what I was expecting; I thought the genuine thrust of it would be Damian traveling the world, righting his wrongs and doing knight-errant stuff along the way, but it's much more... focused. It's become a very good book.

Just wrapped up JL3K1, so I'll get on that!
BTW, about JL3K1... the plot is moving forward, finally, which is nice. And the writing has evened out a little. There's no in-character recap of the plot and setting.
I approve.
