i didn't have faith in either to pre-order, and i don't think i have the budget to start adding stuff like Iron Man and ASM, it's just too much comics money when i also want to get statues from time to time. MU-waiting seemed like the obvious choice but yeah, i feel like i'm missing out :/

daaaaaaang man comics are expensive!!
I went to the store today, first time in like 3 weeks, and spent $55~!!!
this was after I spent $30 at comixology on some Image books!
geez!
and then the shop gives me a list of all the new titles if I wanna pull em...
Marvel I decided on Daredevil, Karnac, and Old Man Logan.
interested in Black Panther and Dr Strange too (which I bought #1 of today) but I really needa spend less
everything else I'm interested in I can read a year from now off Marvel Unlimited.
DC wise there's a $6 and a $13 version of Dark Knight III?!?!
I was like f##k it, go all out, but what's the difference between the two versions? the shop owner didnt even know...

Sorry didn't mean to rub it in, but yeah I didn't know what to expect either so I'm pleasantly surprised.
All of the previews, interviews, and what I know about Bendis had me optimistic with the book, but it was the MJ announcement that pushed me over the edge.
USM became aweful post-Ultimatum and Miles suffered from his book still revolving around Peter.

Just finished Volume 2 of Batman eternal, possibly even better than the first volume. I hope the third volume arrives soon!
Yup. That's awesome
X-Force #15 - good ending to both the Fantomex arc and the series, even if it wraps up everything in a nice little bow, which kinda goes against the vibe of this series. Still, highly underrated book that will forever live in the shadow of uncanny x-force, and thats a shame.
Amazing X-Men #15-18 - The New Juggernaut arc story had a lot of promise but ended up feeling like a waste of time. Theres this amazing moment in issue 18 where for a few pages, after the living monilith becomes a giant juggernaut, the x-men just sit down by a fire and go "mweh how do you even fight a galactus size juggernaut, whats the point" and instead reminisc on past adventures and how silly / contrived they were. Its super meta and i was loving it except then it goes nowhere and they deal with it with the stupidest deus ex machina moment. Shame.

This is going to sound weird, but this issue #1 of ASM is the first physical Marvel single issue I have. One thing is annoying me, and that is how the cover for the comic is made of the same thin paper as the interior pages. It makes it feel cheap. I have 5 or so DC single issues and all of them use a thicker paper for the cover.
Are all the Marvel comics like this?

That's why Rafa said Marvel used Great Value paper for their floppies
One time i accidentally nicked a page by turning it. That was a frowny comic read. edit: And to clarify, yes, all Marvel books are that thin.

So I'm 93 of like 564 pages into From Hell and, boy, I see what you fellas were saying about it being a read! This may be the first actual "Graphic Novel" I've read. It reads like a novel and it sure is paced like a novel. I'm quite enjoying it, and it's much easier to follow than the movie. Bearing in mind I was much younger when I saw the movie, and in a much worse place in my life, I found the film a confusing jumble of regular bullshit and
bullshit. I think so far I'm following along pretty well and I think it's a very interesting look at the Ripper case. After reading this I'll probably go watch the movie again for a chuckle.
Incidentally I believe it's on sale on Comixology at the moment. I don't know the price since I already own it.

Just read Batman & Robin Eternal and it was very... okay. Seeing Cass was cool at least. I'll give the next two or three issues a shot.
What art are you talking about? I like Ramos

Secret Wars 06
Reed and Ultimate Reed....working together? This is ether the most awesome thing ever or the scariest thing ever. Ether way Doom is fucked.

Now we just need their old stuff in HD.
Yeah man. This is the best thing ever.
Marvel announced a new Luke Cage and Danny Rand book by Greene and Walker. I'm not really a fan of Greene's art, I know he does Runaways, but still.

I know today is Marvel and Secret Wars etc, great, great. But I stopped at the shop today for the first time in a month, I caught up on Rat Queens with issue #12 and I have a rant, you guys, and it must be released.
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO RAT QUEENS?! GET TESS FOWLER THE FUCK OFF MY BOOK! HER FACES ARE SHIT! HER ACTION SEQUENCES ARE SHIT! THE MOST STATIC OF ALL SHIT! HER CREATURES???? CAN YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE SOMEONE WHO DRAWS LIKE THIS ON A BOOK LIKE THIS WITH ALL THE FUCKING CREATURES AND MONSTERS? IT WAS UGLY AND BLAND AND BORING AND ATROCIOUS AND INEXCUSABLE AND I WANT TO SCREAM THINKING OF WHAT SEJIC WOULD HAVE DONE WITH THOSE MYSITCAL DEE PAGES!
Ahem. I love these characters, but I am gutted. I can't believe I'm even considering dropping the title, but I don't know that I can bare this heartache month after month.
Paper Girls is awesome.

Yes. Yeeeeessssssss. Let the hate flow through you.
She's not a bad artist, but she's rather unremarkable for a book like this. If we can't have Sejic, let's get Upchurch back. Dude knows he fucked up. Give him another shot.

All I want is an ongoing Danny / Misty book by whoever did the art for their Secret Love story in the one-shot.
That was a really charming story too; I'd read the hell out of that book if it kept that tone and creative team.

Just read the first two issues of Zodiac Starforce and it was good! I liked the art a lot and it's a fun take on the whole magical girl genre. Hopefully it does well enough to get more issues beyond this mini.
Definitely gonna check out the webcomic for it.

Man, that's so dumb. You'd think in a $6 comic there would at least be a somewhat decent cover.
Dude absolutely. That was fantastic.
I've been reading my daughter some Fantastic Four comics at bedtime-she told me today that she wants to be as smart as Valeria Richards one day. Also I saw a picture the SF Exploratorium posted to Facebook of two "planet" shaped cakes, and when you cut them open, you see th Layers of the planet. She said "if we ate those, we would know what it would be like to be Galactus."
Main plot is in the current timeline, there's also a B-plot running through the whole series as a flashback to when Dick was still Robin in his first year with Bruce.

the main storyline seems to build off of stuff that happened when dick was robin, and as a result there are going to be large amounts of flashbacks to that time. plus the whole thing seems like a very good setup to bring bruce back as bats by the end of it.
With just 1 book left to announce, who are the major secret wars / ANAD casualties?
Cyclops (but we know Uncanny is about him being missing so he almost doesn't count), Emma, Odinson, Punisher, Reed and Sue.
Ghost Rider but its not like he always had a ongoing anyway, same for Gambit (at least these days)
Edit: I would say Doom but villains dont count

Heard a cool NPR interview with Kelly Sue DeConnick on the radio yesterday.
Tangentially related, what's Slayven's beef with Captain Marvel? Or is it more of a running gag?

I grabbed Robin 126-128 so I could read about Stephanie's brief stint as Robin.
Just read 126 and I really liked the part where you see Bruce training and teasing her. It was real goofy.

Isnt he just a troll?
He thinks she's really boring (has no personality) and hasn't had a character arc worth mentioning.
Some of us in here agree, including me.
that's fucked up

I didnt even mean that in a offensive way actually, just everytime I've seen his posts hes shitting on something, I just assumed he was just trolling.
More of a "ohyou" thing than a "fuckyou" thing is what I'm saying
