Just finished the third arc of Thor God of Thunder
Malekith the Accursed reminds me of the Joker. he somehow finds a way to get out of every situation while still screwing all the good guys over. like fuck this dude.
4/5 Solid arc, but I think the first two were a step above this.

Oh sweet I really want to read Abe so I'll patiently wait for the omnibus. Nice to hear Hell on Earth is on its way as well.

Yeah that arc is great and all but Godkiller/Godbomb is probably the best thing Aaron has ever done for Marvel. Impossible standard!
I know man. It was literally up for like four hours.
It has: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?, SECRET ORIGINS #36, SECRET ORIGINS SPECIAL #1, WEDNESDAY COMICS #1-12, BATMAN #686, DETECTIVE COMICS #853 and GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGEND OF THE GREEN FLAME #1. I haven't read any of this stuff except Wednesday Comics, so I'm pretty excited to check it out.

One thing I can take away from NYCC: the Harley and Joker cosplay is officially the most played out, basic, unattractive cosplay around. The McDonalds Fillet-o-Fish of dress up.

Well that was a damn good buy then.
Only issues there I haven't read are the post-RIP Batman issues but I've heard nothing but good things about those.
I would think it would be Walking Dead characters but I don't go to cons

Yea they haven't actually announced the Abe HCs yet but the guy that does all the mignolaversity stuff says Scott Allie literally told him they are happening (Allie is the Hellboy books editor and writer of Abe). Hello On Earth HCs have been officially confirmed, they'll probably given the last arc some decent time as a tpb then roll out the HCs.
Abe is really really good, I like how it exists entirely within the hell on earth cycle. He also said Abe was always conceived to wrap up close to the same time as hell on earth to make way for multiple new major books as part of the final third act following plague of frogs and Hell on earth. Abe is so nice because it's.about the little people, how every day folk even live in that world

You know, this is a perfectly fair critique.

These are good? Do they do a good job of capturing Jack's character? I'm gonna have to pick some up soon.

LMAO. SO GREAT.
Oh, in a random note of my catching up on my Marvel stuff on Comixology: I'm almost caught up on Mighty Thor now, and I'm enjoying it and all, but... god, that stubbly look on new Loki is not to my liking. I really hope that he just gets a shave already at some point, as it's super distracting to me whenever he pops up.

Loki, Star-Lord and Rich are the kings of scruff.

Seemed like there were a lot more solo Harleys this time.
A lone Joker protested by booing the Harley/Ivy pairing during the Harley panel.
damn that book is gorgeous. makes me want to start collecting again.

I still need to finish reading the first one.

Alright fair enough. I'll pick up the first trade when I can
It surprises me why he isn't bigger. It's basically underwater Arthurian fantasy that's mixed with various water-based mythologies and some light environmentalism.

I don't how anyone could argue. He's beautiful.I say this as a straight man, but Jorge Jimnez might be the best looking man in comics.

FINALLY finished Hellboy. Really enjoyed the whole series but I found Hellboy in Hell to be far and away the best part, in both art and writing. It was so poetic and haunting and felt more confident in its structure.

Don't stop now though. It keeps being awesome forever
Or are you up to date on JaneThor? I can't remember
A lot of these books are planned like that. Jason Aaron is probably the best writer at Marvel right now though.

Awesome! Super jealous right now, sitting waiting on the last volume of In Hell to finish it off myself! Doing a big ass reread as I wait.
I have read 4 issues of Thor 2014, but that was before I read all of this.
I am going to read the 8 issues of Thor, then all of mighty thor tomorrow.
I basically bought the rest of whatever wasn't on marvel unlimited for a bunch of series.
hell I enjoyed those 25 issues more than vision and black panther so I think he might be.
He delivered on both the epic scale, and even on the regular interactions on Earth. Truly amazing how he has creating a masterpiece for so long.

I can't wait to see how it all ends. I'm torn between wanting another 100 issues of Aaron's Thor and wanting to see the culmination of everything he's been building towards.

American Alien is out and somebody needs to make a thread about it just so peeps could think it's just another Max Landis thread but this time they'll be for a surprise!

Halloween boxes? I thought they didn't go up until tomorrow?
I just bought all the skins. Brute force it.
The skin drops are the same as regular drops only have a higher chance of getting seasonal content. This is the opposite of the summer games event which more or less guaranteed you a gold every few boxes.
So yes, it is rigged in a sense.

Tbh I'll have to reread the whole thing a couple times I'm sure, as I was already forgetting some of the characters and symbolism from issues way long ago. I also wanna read BRPD as well, because I'm sure that would enhance the main Hellboy arc.

You have a high chance of getting a skin on your first Halloween box.

Daredevil let himself go, but it's not like he checks the mirror every morning.
On account of him being blind, and all that.

Sure if you like standard looking men. Rafael Albuquerque is the best looking guy in comics.
After that it's business as usual. Bought 24 and got the standard 3ish gold drops.
Jane Thor is also on this level.
