You should have waited till next Sunday to buy boxes.
Great series. The art, man, the art; it's something special.
Doctor Strange: The Last Days of Magic arc... who's been shitting on this in here? We shall FIGHT.

This is ComicGAF, bro, we don't delay gratification here.
Also Hell in a Cell is that night. I can't handle that much disappointment in one evening.
what is the point of waiting for anything
First half was awesome. Second half was meh. This new arc is somewhere inbetween.
One of the weaker books I pull from Marvel
It is free. It's not their fault you are impatient.

Oh yea for sure. I actually think I would maybe lose interest in the book if Tocchino was to bow out, he's such a huge part of it. Sometimes I've found his storytelling a little hard to parse, but that's got better as the book has went on, and I wouldnt trade what he brings to the table.
Roman Reigns is going to sneak into the Owens/Rollins cell.
Also, i bought 24 boxes and opened about 30 boxes from lots of leveling. Still need Ana, bought Mercy with coins early because if i was going to grind a lot i had best do it with a witch mercy skin. Haven't received her skin in a loot box yet, but got two reapers, a roadhog, and junkenstein.

If I don't get a Roadhog's skin by the time this is over Blizzard can suck an egg.

It bums me out so much that MU only has 40 continuous issues of New Mutants. I'm pretty sure that doesn't even cover all of Claremont's run!

I love Owens and Rollins but this feud has been terrible. Seth should be a mega-face by now, but they ruined that.
The real disappointment is going to be when Sasha Banks gets a career-ending injury when Charlotte drops her on her head or neck from a great height.
I bought Soldier, Reinhardt and Zenyatta with coins. The rest were all drops. They left me sweating for Reaper though, I was down to 2 boxes.
I have never made one.
Unreal. Tell me you don;t pull anything X-related, at least.
Sorry are we talking about Remender or Tocchino? If it's T, I kinda see your point early on, as it does take a few issues to find the flow of his lines.

They okay for awhile I think, if you've hollowed it out real good. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to do one and she said fuck no. Oh well haha
Sorry, Tocchini. Hah. When I say storytelling I meant some of the earlier issues I found it a little hard to actually make out what a character might be doing in a certain panel or how they went from one space to another and so on, just because of the visual style. The visual storytelling. The actual art itself is incredible though and like I said I think he's tightened things up and made them a bit easier to read as the issues went on. Like I say, I totally find him indispensable on the book for my enjoyment haha.
I'm going to give this a second look. Could it be cultural idiosyncrasy in visual art/sequential narrative? Tocchino is Brazilian.

Haha that's an interesting point actually, whether it's his art or my perception of it that's changed. Maybe a bit of both. Next time I reread I'll let you know.
Watching the orphanage tonight. Great movie, but really chilling and sad.
Let me know.
Going to read The Longest Day of the Future and then start Y: The Last Man. You fuckers better have been right about Y as I blind bought the entire series in deluxe.

Oh don't worry. There is no doubt with Y. You will not be disappointed.
3-4 days before Halloween, but it depends on where you are. they last longer in an apartment building than they do in the suburbs.

What kind did you get?
I had to take my pup to a 24 hour vet at 2AM last night because she had a bad allergic reaction to something. She's fine. They just pumped her full of benadryl and steroids. But it's always scary when your beautiful pup start looking like Sloth from the Goonies.

After Doctor Strange is out, drug dealers are gonna call their weed "Ditko", "Ancient One", "Strange", and "Kevin Feige".
Avoid anyone that tries to sell you "Doctor Fate". That's bunk weed.

I've got some Skywalker right now.
I know, because some people here will be getting the bill. lol
Putting together another IST order:
Walking Dead Omnibus 2
Walking Dead Compendium 2/3
Doctor Strange Omnibus
Deadly Class- all
Mooncop
The World of Edena
Ronin HC
Maybe East of West-all and Scarlet Witch: Witches Road... but I need to save some for the trades coming out in Nov/Dec.
Get the hardcovers of Deadly Class and East of West. You wont regret it.
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
I was thinking about HC, but I can get all issues in TPB for the price of one HC. Unless the HCs have great exclusive shit?
The East of West is a toss up as I can get them all from my local library.
Brian Fellows

Yeah I would read them for free first. I'm pretty confident that if you do you'll want them in your physical collection soon enough.

You might regret not buying vol. 4.
I read the first TPB and really liked it; that's why I think I'll just buy the rest.
Oh, I checked out Manifest Destiny in my LCS and even thought the plot description from Image doesn't excite, the actual book seems good!
The hardcover of those books, and especially in deadly classes case are huge. They look so much better in that format imo.
Read both of the two main x men books. One was bad and the other was just plain boring. Rather read old man Logan and x-23.
Imo Aaron made a rushed ending for the last arc. I know he can do better after reading all of his Thor
OH! Not like the Saga HC then.
Jesus, Messi changing avatars again...
Flow, why did you find DS boring?
ds? Lol I was referring to the current x men books
Sorry I was referring to the previous comment on Doctor Strange. I know the x-books are boring.

But I want all of the things in Overwatch without having to actually play Overwatch. It's a very delicate situation.
Harsh words.
You will fit in well here.

"Allegedly"
Ok # 7 was great. Then the 5 dollar tie to last days of magic was also fucking great but that was basically the high of the run so far. #8 was decent but then #9 felt like a such a drag. #10-11 feel rushed. The basement situation was handled too easily for that arc. The big bad guy went down so fucking easily which is jarring considering he rekted a full power strange and crew.
This arc is decent because it is a natural follow up to "what happens if strange loses his magic" but just doesn't do it for me. Strange powerless is not as interesting to me.
I put strange on a higher standard than most because of the team working on it. Aaron can do better
Here's a few pics including that fairly big Saga hardcover getting dwarfed. The deadly Class book is a monster. East of West is a small bit wider.
I agree with that, but I don't feel the ending was rushed, and I loved the "science rule, magic drools" stuff. Not that familiar with Aaron, I was away for several decades, but I love this series...
And I just tweet about comics studies, which everyone here has shown an intense aversion too so no need to follow me, and UK Bass music.
Interesting, that Deadly Class book is friggin' huge! Thanks!
What! Go read Thor God of Thunder, then the Jane stuff. Basically Aaron tried to what he did with Thor but it didn't quite work as well.
But the last strange arc just had me going " that's it"
Its so heavy and I don't have a shelf that fits it :/
