Oh and to any of my US North West peeps, I'll be going to Rose City Comic Con 9/20-21. Anyone else of youse guys going to this rinky dink show? :D

What!? That show looks AWESOME! A ton of guests I'd love to meet, in fact, I'm considering asking my fiance if we can make the drive up there that weekend.


Marvelicious List


Black Widow #10
Legendary Star Lord #3
Rocket Raccoon #3
She-Hulk #8
Spider-Man 2099 #3
Uncanny X-Men #25

I think I may use extra weekly funds to either pick up Bodies or the last two issues of John's Superman.
 
So I just finished last week's All New X-Men and... I'm confused. I haven't been following any of the Avengers/New Avengers stuff, but
Is Marvel just plain combining the ultimate universe with 616? In the beginning the Ultimates are mentioned, followed by Jean Grey warping to Miles Morales at the end.

Ways to go my friend: On Sale 9/24.

Figures the only one I really wanna read comes out at the end of the month.
 
PSA: There is a sale on the current Wolverine Run on Comixology.

Bought the first Issue and liked it, I think i have to buy the Paperbacks.

No, this is just a single story with the O5 going to the Ultimate universe and meeting Spidey. Sadly, I do think they'll eventually bring Miles Morales to 616 and then destroy Ultimate universe in an incursion.

I am really enjoying Uncanny Avengers.

Anyone else?

Read volumes 1 and 2. Opened volume 3 and the first few pages were super boring so I haven't touched it. I really find it boring, and this is coming from a huge Uncanny X-Force fan.

I'd say stick with it. Avenge The Earth is really good.
 
I dunno about that, if you're gonna like the book I think you would've found something to like about it before Avenge the Earth

Yeah definitely read before that, I just mean that arc is fun.

Also is there no Walking Dead this month?

Really excited for death of wolverine

There is, I'm just the only one who gives a shit.


Oh by the way, nobody should feel sad for Batman, because Zero Year dominated every top book list here for months. Last month Batman beat out a ton of great books.

Yeah I'm mostly going for a Star Trek Attack Wing tournament but I'm definitely making time to hit up some of those guests too.

Look at ThyBallerMan who can so casually buy multiple variant covers like it ain't no thing.
 
Only needed one vote this month (Grant Morrison Brings Your Faith Back to Comics #1).
Damn near doubled the second place.

now, #2 pls
 
Just finished Doom Patrol 45, the one with Ernest Franklin (Beard Hunter), and was laughing the whole time. Everything about Ernest is absolutely hilarious and the whole premise was ridiculous. The dialogue, especially Ernest trying to make himself sound cool, was just brilliant.

It was seriously amazing, probably my favorite issue so far.


Oh yeah, Flex Mentallo is awesome too. I'm buying the Flex book once I get through the rest of Doom Patrol and finish Animal Man.

Good call.
 
So, going to a local con in the near future, so...

What is the stuff to pick up for Transformers and Batman Beyond? Like, not just a good starting point, but ALL the stuff I should be looking out for if I want a "complete" collection (not saying I literally want every comic for those series, like I'm sure I don't need to grab the old Transformers stuff, but I'm assuming I'm going to get into these series so if I want to know what I may want to grab while I have a chance of finding stuff for cheap.).
 
Stumptown this month means grabbing the original from my pile and getting this read before the end of the month!

For IDW Transformers:
Last Stand of the Wreckers
More Than Meets The Eye Volumes 1-5
Robots in Disguise Volumes 1-5
Spotlight: Dark Prelude (collection of Spotlight one-shots)
Dark Cybertron Volumes 1 and 2

Earlier IDW stuff is not required, given that continuity was a mess until they hired John Barber and straightened their shit out so a lot of it contradicts each other.

MTMTE and RID are being collected together in hardcover as Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2, the first book is next week and has #1-5 of both series and The Death of Optimus Prime one-shot.
 
Bought a bunch more stuff yesterday.

I'm not really a fan of superhero comics but everything that I hear about Hawkeye makes it sound like it's not anything like normal capes and cowls type stuff.
 
Does anybody else who uses Marvel Unlimited often get the problem that the comic doesn't finish loading and then you the comic without text?

You guys need to get on the new avengers hype train.

Two things -

1) yes

2) dude, spoilers. If someone's not read the series yet, that's a pretty pivotal moment right there.

Anyway, Avengers being so good lately has spurred me on to re-read Hickman's FF run and it's way way better than I even remember it. I think this could be on of my top 5 runs on a book easily. It's just so sweet, the way Hickman writes the kids is just stunning and the series is full of this breezy hope and excitement, even when the stakes are stupid high. The Richards are an inspirational family, Reed is aloof but filled embued with a sense of wonder - as readers we're kept in the dark as to what he's up to but we trust him, his enthusiasm for The Future is contagious and exciting (I just read 579 where he dresses down a convention filled with scientists and starts the Future Foundation).

Hickman's adding to the cast from the word dot as well. Bentley 32 is cowering in the first issue of the run, and as readers we have no idea how rewarding his growth will be. The moloid kids pop up in the High Evolutionary city and are amazing from the first moment, how they're both old and young, genius and sweet idiots. I think the book sometimes struggles with the sheer amount of kids in it (from an art side at least, it's hard to tell them apart sometimes, and it's missing the vital piece that Fraction added of making one of the moloids a girl) but on a second read that difficulty falls away because you know these guys by now, and it's evident very quickly that Hickman knew very well too.

Sue is interesting too - it feels like Hickman has made her a little quieter, but also more important. It's a hard task to write the 'perfect, strong mother' and not have her come across as flat and boring but I think he pulls it off. Reed is intellect, Sue is empathy.

Art is a fairly mixed bag - is it me, or is Neary as important for the Bryan Hitch look as much as Bryan Hitch? His inks on Edwards are very much Hitch-lite (dude is very fond of big faces like Hitch too), but it's missing a bit of his attention to detail. But the Eaglesham stuff is godly, I really wish he'd stuck around longer. His Kirby-tastic designs of the FF are incredible, Reed especially. He's brawny and rugged, like a 1940's explorer! So cool! A shame he gradually morphed back into ol' pencil-neck over the course of the run. His new look implied a brashness and sense of the rugged outdoorsman that he'd never really had before.

I'm too busy embracing these half white ones.

Guy got 3 of them, got tired because it was Friday and then left work. He cockteased me.
