So can I start the new book club in November or is the Stray Bullets one still going?

Didn't the Stray Bullets one kinda fall apart? People were reading at their own pace which made it impossible for any discussion. I finished it, so I'd rather not do that one again.

Maybe that's why JC is so mad.
 
My vote is for Ms Marvel. It might get wider appeal with the OT also. Plus I'd like to read along with folks and try to connect where I have clearly missed. I should love this book. But I don't. Help me.

Zombine Alert:

Watched it 3 weeks ago at NYCC. It's cute, has a nice budget, she's hot as fuck, but they try to jam in way too much for one episode. The villain was unnecessary.

7/10. Signed on for the series. The extra point is for Black Jimmy.
 
yooooooooooooooooooo where the fuck is this from and whats the story on this? O_o

Justice League: No. Just no. It may have gotten better, but you would have to pay me to re-read everything up to Throne of Atlantis. I'm sure Darkseid War is great, but it's not worth trudging through everyone getting Amazo Ebola, that horrific origin arc and whatever the Villain's Journey was meant to be. Non-ComicGAF would want to murder us. Also, not finished.

Multiversity: Probably too weird and referential for newer fans. I know there's an arc plot, but the one-shots are too far apart for real discussion, IMO.

Ms. Marvel could be okay. It is pretty much over, at least until the new series.

I hope Supergirl does well, if only to put more pressure on Raw.
 
Did you know:

More people watched Raw last weekend than some arbitrary number of people took bathroom breaks while watching Supergirl?

Batman and Robin death of the family tie in I believe

Read Batman and Robin by tomasi and Gleason, be amazed by all the heart and feels. Imo the best batman book while it was being published.
 
I'm already close to halfway through 52, but it would be great for a book club if we're going for some low-brow cape books this time.

I read it ages ago, but don't think I have the trades anymore. It would be a great excuse for me to buy the Absolute edition (that exists, right?).
 
We could read X-Statix?

Or Waid's Daredevil till he moves to SF. Reasonably lengthy, a nice stopping point, easy to access (On MU or three OHCs or in TPBs) and there might be wider interest because of the Netflix show.

Or Alias omnibus. Again, there might be wider interest due to the upcoming season and easy to collect - one omnibus.

Whereabouts in volume 2 are you? I agree that volume 1 reads like JLA hijinks that happens to be penned by Morrison, but Rock of Ages is pure Morrison. Personally I came away feeling it was a bit TOO Morrison and kind of collapsed under its own weight.

Um... not sure of the arc name, just wrapped the story with the Philosopher's Stone and the time traveling and Darkseid. Still felt pretty straightforward, just with more wacky words surrounding it (and also Wonderworld, which was pretty weird).

I've read all of those. I know a lot of people have read X-Statix, so I don't know how many would want to reread it. I would love to read Secret Warriors again. I haven't read it since the series ended. I bought the omni, though.
 
My concern is making it not something that just appeals to us. I would like to get some outsiders involved. We don't have to read an entire arc, and it has to be something that the general public wouldn't mind dropping some coin on.

I had my heart set on Hawkeye, but Ms Marble and Alias are decent suggestions. The first two are what will get people the most excited IMO.

Love X-Statix, but ya'll need to be reasonable.

Gonna tweak the approach a bit as well. We're
Not going to read like 5 issues a day. I love you Kipp. Fuck you Kipp.

I'd be down for Ms. Marvel. I've wanted to reread it for a bit. I'm planning on getting the first hardcover next week when Sandman Overture and Invincible Ultimate Collection 10 drop.

Love X-Statix, but that is a big fucking book.
 
I just bought the Hawkeye omnibus and I prefer it not just rot on my shelf while I postpone a reread for new stuff, so I'm cool with that.
 
Think Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel are the best options, personally. Or an indie done-in-one book.

Daredevil is good as well, but maybe not Waid. Early Bendis, maybe? Are the Complete Collections of that still in print? I don't think people who are into the Netflix show (it seems pretty grim from what I saw of it) will be into the Waid version.
 
In all seriousness, I did really want to make a Hawkeye book club thread. If you guys actually care.

I also want to do one for Superior Foes and I was going to buy an omnibus to gift to a random member here. But I'm not sure anymore.

I'd be interested in a Superior Foes book club I haven't got round to reading it yet. I've already read Hawkeye like 3 times and Ms Marble isn't something I have any interest in going through a second time.
 
Yeah, Superior Foes! I read, like, the first half. It would be good to finish it.

I don't want to read Ms Marvel or Hawkeye (didn't like the first issues).
 
Ok, so, read the first arc of Rachel Rising. 25 issues. And I loved it so much. You just feel like you know the characters. All the fantasy stuff (
witchcraft
) was hella intriguing, too. I love this series and I'm really excited that Moore decided to carry on with the book, despite it's struggle to find a paying audience.
 
Alias would be convenient, given I ordered that omnibus.

Always down to read Hawkeye. Always.

Superior Foes is Nick Spencer-written, Tyrant Rave-approved 👌

I don't think anyone that doesn't lurk/post in this thread will want to read X-Statix, honestly.

either that issue or the one after has a super badass callback to Morrison's Batman and Robin which is one of the best things to come from that super messy storyline
