In regards to the comics?

Nice. Dark Horse has announced a new, and the final, Baltimore series, The Red Kingdom for 2017. I've really enjoyed the book, it maybe gets lost in the shadow of it's bigger brothers but I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you like the look of Hellboy etc but want something smaller and more straight forward/self contained. That'll be 8 volumes once things have wrapped up. I guess they're clearing the deck so they can work on Joe Golem/new stuff.

Also, a preview for John Arcudi's new mini series, Dead Inside. It follows a detective in the jail crimes division, which investigates crimes committed inside prison. sounds pretty cool! Fejzula's art looks phenomenal, I remember him being the highlight of Veil.

Yeah I mean, not only is it the most memorable, but it accomplished SO much in what was it...two issues?
Now it takes 10 issues to let you know that Carol farted.

DOFP is obviously the GOAT, but I have a soft spot for the "Legacy" arc of Exiles. Basically, it all went to shit when Cypher got the Legacy Virus, and Warlock bonded with him to try to cure him. Then it evolved into a techno-organic super-virus, and well, it didn't go well....

AoA cuz Blink
Obviously Days of Future Past is the absolute best, but despite Apocalypse being a jobber extraordinaire, I've always had a soft spot for Cable's future with Aksani. Bishop's was probably the worst with the stupid Gambit/Witness/X-Traitor nonsense.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Kate McKinnon so good.
It was pretty great, yeah. I love Oeming's art, and it's nice to see him do something besides Powers, which is getting pretty stale at this point.
Switch might be my favorite comic. When it actually releases.
If only the comic was going to be as good as the cover.

Blink is such a great character, especially in Phalanx Covenant and AoA Astonishing. That was probably my favorite book from AoA, Generation Next being a close second.
There are some amazing moments in AoA I will never forget. Bishop, totally disoriented, surrounded by bodies in Alpha. Blink vs. Holocaust. That page when Colossus is watching the doors close on Husk...the look of despair and horror on his face, the look of...jesus, so much is communicated in Husk's eyes on that page. Magneto's finishing move on Apocalypse in Omega. BAD. ASS. Such amazing panels. That page in Gen Next is one of my all-time favorites.

The trailer looked pretty great. I was a huge ghostbusters cartoon kid and it didn't strike me as off brand or anything. I remember the ghostbusters being a funny foursome. Sadly, I did check, no bluray til the end of Nov here in the uk. They should of got that sucker out for halloween.

"WHY WON'T YOU FIGHT BACK?"
"I....can't. I'm concentrating."
SHRRRRRRRRIP
"For twenty years Apocalypse, you've talked about how only the strong survive. Tell me again, just how strong you are. We were the mighiest of our race. Suppose we'd been on the same side? What a world that would have been."
Ah, the memories.

Ohhhh man. Best Magneto.
Man the pre Days of Whatever Right Now stuff Bendis story is great tho.
Doctor Strange #13.
Basically this is Doctor Strange in the Gauntlet. Powers are basically non-existent, and he is facing rogue after rogue. Never heard of any of them. He got out this fight too easily in my eyes.
3/5
not really fond of Doctor Strange post #7. not bad enough to drop, but not interesting enough to sing its praises like I used to.
TMNT is killing it with the covers. like damn.

A funny little excerpt from an answer Brubaker gave about picking paper stock for his books in his latest newsletter:
I just like this because he even obsesses over the spines! I appreciate that so much as a trade reader, and looking at my shelf, all of his books have a really nice consistent look, which is unfortunately not always the case. Also, it's pretty funny hearing about other creators wanting the good stuff once they've done the hard part haha. Secret wars 2: Paper wars.
You okay btw? All the reviews I spotted made it seem like this was the *big* one for Rumble this week, a real obliterating issue. I thought it might have blown your brains out!

So I saw this on TV Tropes an hour or so ago in the What Could Have Been section:
Anyone know anything more about this? I have to know if this is true.

Age of Apocalypse!

I've not read any of my Image titles from the last two weeks yet because I've been reading Conquest. Reading through a couple of Marvel events while I let m Image titles bunch up something I've been doing lately. A couple of months ago I did the same thing Annihilation and Supperior Foes. Before that it was AoA.
Then after I finish with the events I go back and catch up on my "current" Marvel stuff. Last time my Image stuff bunched up for two months. This time it'll only be about a month because the events are smaller and I've dropped more on-going since then.
It's just a way to keep things fresh.

Finished Superman Birthright, though it was a good read, but maybe a tad bit overrated, doesn't reach the level of ASS. Didn't particularly like tying Lex to Smallville, overall 4/5. A good origin story but nothing groundbreaking. Favorite panel was this:
Reading The Ultimates (#1-12) for the first time, a real page turner. Never read Mark Millar before but he has a very outrageous writing style. I like it so far but no way would I want it to be canon.
Funny how they named RDJ for Iron Man and Samuel Jackson for Fury. No Woody Allen for Banner though.

Pretty sure the Lex/Smallville stuff was done because Birthright came out around the time Smallville did and they wanted to emulate the show.

Age of Apocalypse was the GOAT, no question. The entire run was so damn fun and weird.
I think it really inspired a lot of Marvel's "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach of today. For better and for worse.

I can't re-read old stuff like that anymore though. The art is just such an eyesore.

It was vague enough that they could juke. I don't think they are, but it's possible.

I found the most recent Omega World to be pretty intriguing. Just on a hard-science level.

Yeah I was going to make the same comment in fact. That was the beginning.
Breevoort I think said it in case they couldn't get the trademark which they lost after the 1 volume ended in the 80s.

Actually, one of the alternate Ghost Box futures was pretty good. Where all the mutants were dead except for Armor, Beast, and Logan. Beast had regressed to a more feral form and Logan couldn't walk because the adamantium in his legs was bent. Armor killed them both after reaching a "safe zone" to find everyone dead. Then she killed herself.
