"You could say my 'stache is off to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...."

 

[Messi]

Oh, my. A Raven comic by Wolfman. That’s really cool.

The previous Raven mini series that led to this was also by him. Good book.

--

Yo this Harley book without Palmiotti and Conner is keeping the exact same direction and it may aswell be them (Yes I know its Conner doing the cover) also great that Cho is still gonna be doing the variants.

“Man-Batter Up” part one! Harley’s in a dark, dark place after the hard right turn her life took...so when the citizens of Coney Island say it was a mysterious “bat” that kidnapped one of her friends, she is not going to take it lying down!

“Man-Batter Up” part two! Harley was sure she knew who was targeting her friends—but man, was she wrong! Or should we say “Man-Bat, was she wrong!”? And if you thought Harley had anger issues before, wait until you see her juiced up with Man-Bat serum!

Also Jay Lee Harley !

Deadly Class pilot being filmed.

I am keeping my expectations in the basement.

Was January not meant to be when Young Animal returned?

 

[Sandfox]

Was January not meant to be when Young Animal returned?

The Doom Patrol delays probably pushed everything back.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Do you all just buy more and more series over time, or do you have a price limit or issue limit for the month? I added up all the DC stuff I want in January and it’s way too much. I have to scale back.

Spoiler

Superman

Well I mostly read Image so I have titles ending fairly regularly and others I just drop because I'm not enjoying them anymore. Which makes room for new titles.

No limits.

Don't be like me.

 

[Aizo]

Come on man, obviously multiple nipples in the shape of a smile.

Is that... is that what you have??

Well I mostly read Image so I have titles ending fairly regularly and others I just drop because I'm not enjoying them anymore. Which makes room for new titles.

Yeah, I used to only read Image. Those were reasonable times... I fell out of superhero comics many years ago. I’ll probably fall out again. I’ve never read or bought as many as I do now. Not even close.

No limits.

Don't be like me.

Yeah... you’re dangerous.
I didn’t know that other Raven mini was by him. I’ll have to check it out. Hope he treats her better than he did when he made her haha. Still not nearly as bad as the treatment she gets for the rest of the New Titans run after Wolfman leaves.

And even when I was buying superhero books I really only read X-Books from Marvel. DC was never an option. So it still wasn't that bad for me.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Two things in your quote. Guessing you mean WW?

Yeah, WW. New Super-Man is legit good, jury's still out on Robinson WW but I liked the first two issues.

 

[Lashley]

Those DC solicits....

Oh yeah

 

[Messi]

I didn't see John Timms in the DC solicits

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I have no mouth and I must wahoo.

 

[Ross61]

Please be halfway decent Didio.

Justin Jordan is good too....

 

[Aizo]

So yeah, I added it up. If I bought everything I really want in January from DC, it'd cost 105 bucks. That's a huge jump for me—enormous, honestly.

[IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMTQ9aKUEAA1roW.jpg:large[/IMG]

I ended up cutting it down to $56.50...

The direct market sucks.

The direct market sucks.

Sucks even more when you're low on funds after moving to a different country.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Sucks even more when the country you moved to is the United States. If I didn't already live here I sure wouldn't.

I'll surely move back to Japan once I do what I need to do here.

How do I go about reading this beloved Johns Green Lantern run? Is there an easy way to do it, like trades or omnibuses in a simple order?

That totally doesn't sound ominous.

All New Wolverine was dope this month. Gabby is amazing and I adore her costume. She is the best thing to happen to Laura in years. I hope she stays forever. Jonathan too.

This is the best way:

 

[Freezasaurus]

This is the best way:

Hoo boy. Also most expensive way.

 

[VanWinkle]

Hoo boy. Also most expensive way.

Ehh, it's about $200. Or you could buy ~18 trades or ~110 single issues.

 

[Messi]

I don't find any omnibus to be comfortable to read. Even using the approved position. Just too big.

 

[VeeP]

I don't find any omnibus to be comfortable to read. Even using the approved position. Just too big.

I literally ordered an omnibus from Amazon the other day, so I just looked up the approved position and how to open it properly. Thank you.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I would just read a wikipedia summary where that many issues are concerned.

Deluxe hardcovers are usually best, but you can't beat the convenience of only buying one book. Some omnibus volumes aren't too big, though.

The gaf approved position?

It works in all weather conditions, not just sunny days as the picture shows.

Yeah, I try to keep my monthly budget under $100 but DC's been making it tough - the Dark Matter stuff, Priest on Justice League, and Doomsday Clock being $5 an issue adds up. I guess I'm lucky Marvel's been cancelling all of my favorite series... keeps things even.

I am using it for the Hellboy in Hell Library Edition right now!

The new Black Panther trailer is so good...

I like Michael Jordan

 

[BKatastrophe]

Dixon’s Birds of Prey

The fuck is Canary doing wearing a wig?

The song in the first trailer was way better

Run the Jewels is pretty great

Out of Action Comics and Superman, which is considered the better Superman book out atm and what is the difference between the 2?

Superman is one of my favorite ongoings. I dropped AC after the first arc.

K. Perkins of Supergirl/Superwoman.

Also Si Spurrier is on Suicide Squad.

Gonna have to add SS to my pulls.

Seriously how is no one making a bigger deal out of that? Like, his X-Force run was godlike and I assume this will be basically the same book. So it’ll be godlike.

Those DC solicits are insane. I feel like DC is specifically attacking me. I’m going to be so poor.

“Who is Troia?” is the name of a Titans arc coming up. Leave Donna alone. Haven’t we had enough with all her “Who is__?” storylines way back since the 80s? Her current origin is so dumb. Couldn’t leave well enough alone...

They just gave her new origin in the annual, right? Mystical construct for killing Wonder Woman that had all of her memories fabricated, as well as the memories of those around her. Something like that. Still haven’t read the annual.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I have no mouth and issame.

Ftfy

 

[BKatastrophe]

One thing I like about BoP is that it’s always making sure that we see Oracle doing something. She’s a main character, so she can’t just be a talking head. The best part is that she’s not just typing at a keyboard or looking at monitors. She’s training or swimming or literally anything. It’s awesome.

 

[VanWinkle]

Metal #1 and 2 were positively WILD.

 

[Aizo]

That totally doesn't sound ominous.

I’ll flee to Japan after my work here is done.
Does that sound better?

Not really. Fleeing is what you do after committing a crime.

Canary wore a wig in Longbow Hunters as well IIRC. Think it was when she still tried to keep her identity secret.

Her date with Dick at the circus is still one of those moments I want to see in a movie.

When she starts chatting with a unknown guy later on, write down here who you think it is.

Please be halfway decent Didio.

Morrison is helping out as well. Seven Soldiers~

Edit: Gillen on what might've happened if he was on Uncanny X-Men longer.

Hmm perfectly legitimate work that doesn't at all involve killing people for contract money

Does anyone remember a cheesy kind of xmen tv show from the early 00's called mutant x. It was cheesy but kind of fun, had decent special effects for the time and it was almost the xmen but not really the xmen because they couldn't really do it as a tv show at the time. Well having watched the pilot for The Gifted, its the new mutant x and you know what, thats fine by me.

What are peoples views of the new Runaways series after the first few issues? I'm liking it, not much has happened in story so far but I've liked its slow pace and focus on the characters. The second issue was a full issue of just 3 of the characters talking and catching up on there history so far, but it worked for me. Though I really really really wish it had a different artist

 

[Aizo]

Not really. Fleeing is what you do after committing a crime.

Oh, oops. Okay. I mean I’ll run away to Japan after I commit crimes and need a place to hide. There we go. All sorted.

She was such a great character both during Dixon's run and Simone's run.
It's a shame that BoP has never reached those highs again as it was one of my favorite books for several years and has, for me, been middling at best after Simone left, in Nu52, and in Rebirth.

A Mini SNES costs almost $200 here.
