Man, I don't know what to think on if I want that. In a vacuum I feel like I've heard good things about it. But man, the arc that Eddie Campbell did on Hellblazer was baaaaaad. Like, maybe the only part of the run so far that I wouldn't just say "I didn't like this", but that it was full on poorly done.

Its been entertaining so far, but I'm not really a fan of the constant flip-flopping between before / after.

Well, that's all I've read from him, and it's apparently contemporary to the start of Bacchus.... (plus it's fresh to me since I read it for the first time like a week or two ago...)
Metal Gear is nearly done consuming my existence. Finished all the Side-Ops, just have 6 of the alternate main missions to go. Of course I'll probably have to go back and S ranks/do all the objectives. Currently at 104 hours, 70 percent.
Probably should figure out what to pack for NYCC at some point today...

Can always give the (used) TPB a spin instead. Not like the artwork's amazeballs.
Pretty cheap.
Bacchus, as far as i've read it, is a pretty interesting take on "what would happen to the greek gods if they were just horrendously depressing semi-immortal dudes and still alive?"

Dang, was hoping to have them for the weekend but that won't happen. Hopefully for the following weekend.
Ah, bummer. Haha. Didn't even know Campbell had an arc of Hellblazer.
Whaat? I love Eddie Campbell's artwork.
The past couple of times I ordered from them, I order the books on a Wednesday morning, they ship around Thursday night, and I get them on a Saturday (through FedEx Ground). But that's only when everything is in stock. If it's not it can take up to three extra business days.

Good =/= amazeballs. Evidently subjective.

Hmm. I'll have to look into the team on All-New Ultimates then.
I'm more excited for Jughead than I care to admit. And this week is BKV new joint Paper Girls. I have lots of goodies waiting for me when I go to the shop tomorrow. It's been a few weeks and I buy most of my good stuff on paper.
For example, I digitally purchased the past 5 or so Detective Comics issues. Read a couple (41 & 42). It's a bit bland but I like the cast of characters. I'm a sucker for the cops of Gotham. (Yes have I read and loved GC)
Jumping back continuity-wise, I also read a few issues of 52. Grabbed the first 3 volumes cheap a while back. Solid stuff. Enjoying how Renee's story is starting out. Excited to finally be starting 52. Such a fan of Renee and have yet to read the Question stuff.

Hopefully when ComicGAF Civil War 2 happens and half the regulars defect to reading Valiant exclusively, I'll get a meme that says "Launchpad was right" and we'll know it wasn't just about Valiant.
Valiant? Is that one of the new All New All Different Marvel books?

Well, after sorting, organizing, re-organizing, and in some cases re-bagging, my collection of DC Comics floppies comes in at 11 short boxes and change. Next up: Marvel.
Pray for me.

You sure? Examine the ink quality. It's basically the paper version of paint.
No...no no no no no no no no no. I have one hardcover that i accidentally squished a bug on a page when trying to give it a light flick, it left a mark on a white speech bubble and i have white paint....

Does volume 3 of batman eternal come out this week? Might have to order that.
We're over our "Nova rawr just a proxxy for loeb's son rawr give me Rider rawr" phase right? Because that book is fun with Duggan writing it. Great art too, both the regular book and this annual.
Speaking of the Annual, whats the deal with doc green hulk? Hes a bit of a dick in this but also a good guy, im kinda into it.

Duggan is a goddamn hero who saved both Nova and Deadpool. He's still a trainwreck when other people are writing him, though.
nooooooo~!!! my Marvel Unlimited sub ends in less than 10 days! how to make the most of it?!?!?!
Unity sucks... I cant believe I've read like every issue lol. I was gonna drop it til I heard it was ending =P
also wanna drop Ivar... I love Van Lente (Magnus Robot Fighter on Dynamite was incredible, highly recommend it to everyone) but Ivar jus isnt as good as A&A
but XO, Imperium, Bloodshot Reborn, and Ninjak are all good.
hey I read Valiant!

And Wow!
is Freeza a gaf person or are you talking about the actual Dragon Ball villain?
or somebody else?
but no those 2 titles arent that good imo.
I've never read Rai either, but I think I have copies of it from Humble Bundle...
also is Secret Avengers from Nick Spencer good? Think I should read those before my Marvel U subscription runs out, read the Ales Kot one after
ahh, in that case I'll keep it on then.Real talk, what don't you enjoy about Ivar? It's mysecond favorite book after We Can Never Go Homefavorite book being published.
Also, it ends with issue #12
but it just doesnt hit the same notes I expected not only from A&A, but from the work Van Lente also did with Magnus from Dynamite and Resurrectionists from Dark Horse.

About to checkout my DCBS order and no new #1's, WHAT!!!?
Comics are done, they all decided not to publish any more.

Freeza is a regular that loves to hate on me. Ignore that lol
Well, alright, any Valiant fan is a friend of mine. Welcome, buddy!
Rai is pretty cool. Kindt's pretty good at world-building in that one. Characterization is as good as in Unity or Ninjak. Definitely worth checking out, but probably not a high-priority read.
I've been meaning to check out some of Van Lente's other stuff, specifically Hercules and Magnus, but I didn't know about Ressurectionists. I'll have to check that one out. Thanks!

I gave up on getting floppies from the big two, this is what happens.
My pull list is about 30 comics short of what it used to be, I feel like I just cut cable or something.
Exceptions for Amazing Spider-Man and Batman of course.
They're doing that "here's a bunch of meaningless side stories for two or three pages to advertise our other spider books" thing they did last time they relaunched to bump up the pagecount.
Except this time, they don't even have a Kaine-centric story to make it worthwhile.
