So with Vertigo pretty much sorted out, what issues should one grab in the Green Arrow sale? Can't buy that many...

Anything and everything by Mike Grell
This, and if that's too many then The Longbow Hunters is well worth it.
If you want more than Year One by Diggle and Jock is fairly good. Lemire and Sorrentino's run from the Nu52 series is good (although don't get the issues before or after).
thanks to Messi for the hookup! I now own on the marvel website:
Black Panther (2016-)#1
Civil War II (2016-)#1 (of 8)
Deadpool & Cable: Split Second Infinite Comic#1
The Mighty Thor (2015-)#8
Uncanny Avengers (2015-)#13
Uncanny Inhumans (2015-)#11
so I guess I will read the civil war 2 after all :/

Costa is making me want to check this out despite not being a big Venom fan.

Okay, so with Fables... is the last issue only available as a trade, and is that trade just of the last issue? Also, are any of the "spinoffs" worthwhile? Feel like now's as good a time as any to plunge in thanks to the Comixology Vertigo sale.
Also, any recommendations for any of the Vertigo series that aren't "big name" titles?

oh yeah if you're interested you guys can get pretty close to a complete Milligan/Fegredo digital collection with the Vertigo sale between Enigma, Girl, Weird War Tales #4, and Weird Western Tales #4
missing the Face one-shot (very good) from Vertigo and like 3 misc. Marvel issues (pretty good) but that's a Good Ass Deal

Reading Green Arrow by Kevin Smith. It's pretty cool so far! I love how dense the dialog is.

The unwritten is great, doesn't get a lot of mentions anymore/ever.
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
I believe so. Certainly haven't seen it mentioned in any of the DC trade solicits for the last couple of years. Same with the Martian Manhunter trades unfortunately. Who knows with the DC trades department though. There may still be hope. I recall Hitman having a long absence before DC decided to reprint the trades and actually finish off the collections the second time round. I'm still holding out for the rest of Starman in paperback as well.
I actually just answered this question last week.
I read the ending of fable as one big trade, which makes sense because it is literally a collection of epilogues.
pick up fairest. Cinderalla you can honestly skip, jack is an interesting read. but if you don't like him, you won't like him now.
American vampire is a must read from vertigo along with sandman theatre.
No, I love a lot of dialog. Do you not?
it depends but that's one of those pages where my eyes are glazing over before I've even read a word because of the volume of word balloons
alternative answer: not Kevin Smith dialogue!!!

I liked it on the whole, but that fucking Fables crossover killed all of that book's momentum and it never quite recovered.
Why is she wearing a Punisher shirt? Frost is no jobber shirt wearing Hot Topic shopper.
IST has ASM omnibus vol. 2 for 50% off. Going to pick that up with the Apocalypse Wars HC also for 50% this week. I'm prepared for disappointment with the Apoc book but I can't help myself when it comes to Apocalypse.

Is Hillbilly #3 really coming out this Wednesday or is it all another lie?
Edit: I see Backstagers #2 listed as well, did physical copies not hit last week? I know I already have that.

Rian or James tweeted that there was some kind of printing or shipping issue with the physical version, so that was delayed a week while the digital version wasn't.
Just another win for the digital crowd.

Haha you know, I totally forgot about that, think I blanked that part out. I really like the idea of the book though and the exploration of our relationship as people and as a society to writing. And somehow they fit a fables crossover in. I suppose the nature of the book made it too tempting. I really liked the Tommy Taylor HC they put out about half/two thirds through.
I never read it but I always wanted do read the book g willow Wilson was putting out at Vertigo at the time, Air. Just got put off by the cancellation.
Not bad not bad at all.

Air was really good. Cairo is also worth a read if you haven't gotten around to it.
I would let her model all the Hot Topic shirts for me.

Still no previews on the new Wonder Woman book that's out tomorrow. I really want to see the art.

Look harder?
Edit: Unless you mean the Jill Thompson OGN, in which case there's a smidge of artwork here.

No. I'm talking about the one Jill Thompson is writing and doing art.

Is Smith trying to out-overfill-the-page-with-dialogue Frank Miller?

I think Messi is the world's #1 Marguerite Bennett fan. He dumped Sejic like a bad habit. Poor Stjepan.

Bennett needs an Image title ASAP. I wish Animosity had been through them.

I read a bunch of COMICS
Amazing Spider-Man 18 I think I already complained about these prelude books to big events but I'm going to complain anyway. It's such lazy storytelling. Single issues should have some value in and of themselves; they should stand on their own as compelling stories, or at least compelling pieces of a larger story. This issue fails hard at that, and what's worse I don't think the larger story benefits at all from this information. We'll see how things pan out but to me the only relevant development here is
, and wouldn't that have been cooler as a twist that happens during another story, even during the Clone Conspiracy itself? The whole story of
plays out in a way most readers probably assumed that it did...we didn't need to see it, and some elements, particularly
would have been better left to our imaginations.
Aquaman 4-7 I'm glad I gave this another shot! The art is still wonky and super inconsistent (Superman in particular looks awful), but while that is going to make for a crappy collection, it doesn't really impact me that much as a singles reader. I dig the way the plot unfolds here, with a couple of exceptions: I really hate when

all that much yet, but there is potential there. The mystery of

The Astonishing Ant-Man 12 Eh. Ya know,
But, it's still dumb. I don't buy it. But it's nice to see
The Backstagers 2 Here is a perfect example of a comic that doesn't need a logical premise to be fun and engaging. Take a second to think about the premise of this book: it makes no sense. But who cares? The characters are so cute and fun, the budding relationship between
is really sweet (though I don't think I need
pressing the button a little too hard there). And is
yo, way to win me over with a cameo. Even if you did say

Batman 6-7 Whelp. I'm out after the crossover. I have ample Batman in my diet now between All-Star and Detective, no need for Tom King's Batman which I have enjoyed for maybe a grand total of 10 pages over the course of seven issues
I'm a bit behind at the moment, had to take a couple of weeks off. But I'll devour everything on my plate within the next 2-3 weeks, I reckon. I read a lot of comics.

I'm not invested in the Black Manta/N.E.M.O. developments
who framed Atlantis
The Astonishing Ant-Man 12 Eh. Ya know,
nuBeetle is very much Nick Spencer's character, so if he wants to assassinate her by having her exploit inside information to lock up a guy she knows is decent who is trying to keep his daughter out of jail, because he didn't call her while this crisis was playing out, that's his business.
Shulky, so nice in fact I want to re-read FF now.

Why does it matter? She's doing exactly the same stuff over at Aftershock with two books.
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
Because Image offers digital back ups and Aftershock does not.
It's also the reason I wish Black Hammer, Clean Room, Unfollow, and Sherif of Bagdad were all Imsge titles.
