Holy crap the latest issue of Uncanny X-Men makes me want to punch Bobby in his idiot face. Storm was especially out of character with her shitting on Cyclops.
Marvel seriously needs to move past this "X-Men shitting on Cyclops" phase. Its gotten ridiculous.

Wait, wait. Do you mean The Names? I liked it. And really, are you going to judge a comic on one issue?

I read Grayson and liked it well enough, the change of pace for the character is good, hoping whenever he gets put back to being Nightwing it has the sameish tone. Also hope he gets the blue stripe back.
Jumped into Justice League with #30 and think its a fine book, I intend to at some point go back to Trinity War and catch up.
JLU I checked out too, only read an issue, but it feels kind of dull, does it pick up? Is good to see Martian Manhunter since he isn't in JL proper
Johns' Supes is still goods stuff and I read more of Zero Year.
Still got a few more series to check out.
Is Green Lantern worth reading after Johns' finished his run? I see it's still in crossover hell damn near everytime I see it.
Edit: Also read Black Widow, Punisher, and Avengers on the Marvel side of things and the quality between the books seems huge to me, though maybe I'm just imagining things.
Edit 2: I guess I meant between the companies, not the three Marvel books I read, they were all great and I enjoy Punisher too much.

Sounds like he didn't like the issue he read, which is the only one that's out. It's fair game at that point. If I hate a first issue, I'm probably not gonna keep reading the series

I'm loving the new Punisher too
Yeah let's get angry! What were they supposed to do? The comic was probably completely finished and part of the overall storyline moving forward before the Ferguson events ever took place. Is nobody allowed to make a work of fiction about police after something in the news is about police? It's not too much of a stretch to say that the comic is completely unrelated.
Edit: That said, Punisher #10 was not as good as the last few issues. Looking forward to more...

You can jump right into the current series that began with the New 52.
The original creative team left somewhere in the mid-20s so there's still several trades worth of J.H. Williams III's art
Not up to date with the series (tradewait) but the impressions here make it sound like the series stays good and is even better in some aspects

He switched on and off, but left completely left after issue 24.

I decided to check out the first few trades for Posehn and Duggan's Deadpool.
Holy crap, I love this book. It is fucking hysterical. I love Deadpool's portrayal here. He's a hilariously sad tragic clown. Tony Moore's stuff in the Dead Presidents arc is great, but I'm reading The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly right now, and holy Christ, Declan Shalvey's work is bloody fantastic. He's the perfect artist to do the work for a more sober Deadpool story.
I'm not ready for some of these feels in this arc

It really is an awesome book. The throw back issues especially have been absolutely amazing.

That fucking Jive Turkey one, oh my God, I couldn't breathe.
YOU CAN'T KEEP THE WHITE MAN DOWN.
That one was legendary. I still crack up just thinking about it.

The reviews I read were all in the high seven-low eight range. Granted, opinions vary from person to person, but the consensus I've seen seems to indicate most people enjoyed #1.
I think a mediocre first issue is a good idea of where an Vertigo/Image book will end up. Of course I'll hang on for the arc, but I don't feel like the conflict in general is anything interesting. Concept is neat and all, but you're not really given much of a reason to give a shit about the main character. Art was interesting though.

Is it just an arc, though? Cover said #1 of 8.

Yea, but that's not universal; things can go either way when there's only one issue out, so that's really all ya got to go on. Although, I don't typically read comics reviews, i just go by recs here or on twitter or whatever and whatever i think looks good

Batman Beyond day is best day. Looks like Inque returns in this new arc? I'm down.
Messi should definitely not click on this link

Oh good! They're finally up. That one site that was initially advertising them is useless. I'll preorder from there. The cool thing is that you can write what you want on the word bubble.

NOOOOOOOOO. You were supposed to talk me out of it
Lol it's only $20. Attach some starving artists name to that and put it on kid robot and they'd sell that for like $600.

Fair enough. Ordered. Did you buy any others, or just Selina?
I know Cheska will order that shit yesterday as soon as she sees it. XD
The others look pretty weird I think. Selina looks amazing though!

Oh yeah the Magneto Comic has been stellar so far. I'll be really sad to see it go. I don't think I've enjoyed reading about magneto since Kieron's run on Uncanny X-men.
I identify everyone here by avatars.
ComicGAF should be called CatwomanGAF
CatwomanGAF had some hard times recently. Let us be for the moment. We are just happy having Selina back.

That arc made Deadpool more human to me. It was really good. The times where Deadpool stops telling jokes are really sobering.
What am I looking at? Why does that look like Olivia Wilde. Wat.
GrandHarrier

So how do you handle avatar changes? Is there a transition period where you just lose it?
It's Inque from Batman Beyond. She's awesome.
TheDarkKnight774

It takes about a week yeah. Except Freeza he always has a mildly sexual animu character.
That's Oliva wilde in comic form. Or at the very least she was used as reference. Right?
GrandHarrier
Member
Hmm...
Would you like it to be?
Yup
Yes. I Might actually read Batman Beyond if she was in it.
GrandHarrier

She appears to be the focus of the current arc although she is only in the first issue near the end. Also, you're a monster and should read Batman Beyond irregardless.
If it's not Bruce then it ain't Batman. Dick included.
GrandHarrier

Terry is
Bruce's kid.
You're still a monster. I can only assume you reject it because you're afraid to love again.

There is a new Catwoman.
She has the power to
make 9 copies of herself.
And uh, an old Harleen Quinzel was in the Batman Beyond movie if I recall correctly?
