COMICS |OT| October 2016. You won't regret it. Unless you do.
With the Freeza/Messi OT this makes even more sense.

I just did a ranking. It was my 7th ranked Image book at that moment 4 minutes ago. So I think there might be a chance you won't be overly annoyed with it.

I look at my shelfs and want to reread a bunch of my stuff but I keep on buying new books. I'm set if we ever have another depression.
Is this just for x vs I?The Cookoos are back. I can't breathe. I am so happy. I could cry. I always wanted to believe but my belief died as the months passed.

Volume 3 of Saga was the best yet. It was so tense going into the last few issues where all the main characters started toconverge at the lighthouse. I was expecting a time skip at some point, but it made sense to do one after this felt like the end of the first big arc. Poor old Oswald.
Yea, it's a great showdown moment. More of those to come
you're about to move into the more meatier stuff too, bkv really starts to push and pull at the core themes of being a parent and maturing or not maturing as your kid matures and so on, the next arc has a lot of great stuff on that, and some of the stuff that happened with the will goes in some really satisfying directions (trying to stay painfully vague haha). Pretty much if you're enjoying it, wait til you see what's next, I love the book. It manages to present questions about family and growth, both as a unit and individual I've never saw something like the fantastic come close to. Very reassuring to see an interspecies space family I can relate to in my own day to day life.
Woah Teen Titans and Batman Beyond are out this week! Gonna wait to here your impressions but I'm definitely interested in these books.
Only thing from my pull list this week is Star Wars. Need to decide if I should get Snotgirl #3. I love O'Malley's writing but I'm just not sure if this book is for me. I know a lot of it's supposed to be funny or satirical but it still feels a little too immersed in the fashion blog culture for me to get a lot out of it.

Don't get too excited. They might die in the event along with their mommy.

I'm leaning towards there being an Emma-led X-book as part of the relaunch. She and the Cuckoos are just in hiding somewhere, surely.
This is likely

If they ain't in a current book, they dead. See also Cyclops (616)

The Filth is certainly something. Only 5 issues in and im enjoying it. Lots to unpack. Even warns you as much. Definitely not something you want to read if you want to free the mind of clutter and go down a linear path. Very abstract. Thinking mans comic.
As long as it's not by Soule I'll buy the shit out of that. Day Zero for Emma.

Marvel are getting so fucking desperate and I get why they'd want to keep that under wraps
The Filth is also really cool in that it's a Morrison comic that is skeptical towards the typical Morrisonian mantra that "The Superheroes Are Here To Save Us" (as in Flex/ASS)
also it's about a guy who just really loves his cat man
That's...uh...cool, I guess...

Alright, so where the hell is The Spectre Vol. 3 (Ostrander/Mandrake)? I check periodically to see whether it's out but it's been SO damn long since 2 that i'm thinkin it got cancelled? Talking about that re-release obviously

As a guy who loves his cats, I can confirm I love this aspect.

Don't lie!
i haven't started the relaunch yet on MU, too busy planning Trump's presidential victory party. I think it's bet to buy all the supplies ahead of time before demand picks up. That page seems to have spoiled the greatest comic event of 2016-2017, Civil War 2.
Kamala wouldn't support Trump.

Probably the best thing DC can do for that book.
Should have launched under young animal

I started and got through I think the first 8-10 issues, but then fell behind somewhere.
Maybe a move to Vertigo would change sales expectations and keep the writer/artist from feeling pressure to try to reach a larger audience?
Quirky DCU books that don't sell don't tend to get much chance to stick around, which must influence the way people approach the books.

Was just about to say this. It also probably gives the writers less freedoms with the story because they have to reach for those expectations.
An overall re-launch and reworking of Vertigo could probably work. I've liked their recent attempt at mini series, but none of the stories have really seemed interesting at all.

Eh. I don't think it's really on that same fringe that the YA books are trying to establish as a brand.

Young Animal is the new brand that DC is pushing featuring some fringe titles like Doom Patrol, Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye, and Mother Panic. Think of it as you would Vertigo. Which is an adult-oriented branch of DC. This is basically the same thing. Just weirder.
Ennis is pretty cynical about Vertigo -- certainly the imprint from 2000 on at least-- so I doubt he really cares that much about Hellblazer returning to Vertigo. Judging from the dialogue though, it looks like he's read a few of the DC Constantine comics which is extremely amusing to me
