Nothing interesting coming out in volume from Image for a couple weeks so looks like I can save some money for a while.
...or buy back volumes of series I need to catch up on.
Fuuuuuuck

Trees is the weirdest book. Too weird even for me.

Christian Wildgoose is replacing Rafael Albuquerque as the Batgirl artist starting in January. No idea about Wildgoose's art but the preview pages in this article seem very much like what is currently in the book:

Don't know the artist but it looks nice! Much cleaner, a bit more batgirl, and I say that as a big fan of Raphael on AmVamp
Haha have you tried injection? That's waaay weirder than Trees

Wow, really? When I still went to a shop, it was only $5 at mine.

No but it sounds cool, not sure how that one slipped by me...maybe I'll give it a look.
Love Rafael Albuquerque but he was a bad fit for Batgirl. This looks much more like Batgirl.

I really liked the first arc... But the second one didn't grab me at all so I haven't read the last 1-2 issues.

Are we talking about the variant cover or the recent issue?

Trees isn't that weird. It doesn't even rank on the Morrison scale.

Every day I am shocked how much Percy seems to have turned it around. His dialogue is still a little forced and cheesy but overall his writing has been fun as hell which his old GA definitely did not have.

It looks..........fine. I guess. This doesn't scream unique to me.
I am talking about him being a bad fit for Batgirls interior art on the rebirth series. The variant cover was classic Albuquerque. I loved it. So much so I posted a thread on GAF about it. It was magical.
True. But for me Rafaels art was a distraction when it should have added to it. I say this as someone who loves his work. But he is better suited to dark horror or noir style books.

Hmmm, looking over my pull list, I guess I don't read THAT many weird books. Drifter, House of Penance and Unfollow are the only books that are reasonably weird. My tolerance for weirdness may have been overstated.

Josie and the Pussycats is amazing by the way. Bennett is an MVP.
Batman Beyond was all right, the new suit's eyes are enormous.
Squirrel Girl and Ms. Marvel continue to be consistently great.

Oh I didn't realise anyone here reads house of penance, have you been enjoying that? Looking forward to grabbing that in trade.
Well, if your interested in Injection I'd definitely recommend it but yea, Trees is very tame by comparison. You've been warned ha

I'd say the only downside is that I've never particularly liked reading songs in fiction, because I don't know how that song goes, and should I just make up a beat to it, or just read the words or should I just sort of skip past it?
But the jokes and the characters are good enough that it didn't bother me.
Another win for NuArchie.

I LOVE House of Penance. It's one of my favorite reads every month. It's completely insane.
It seems designed to be read in trade, preferably a single sitting, so you are getting the better deal.
I have the exact same problem in Jem. Music in comics is a difficult one.

Quite the opposite for me but I don't wanna have this argument again. I'm probably gonna drop it after issue 5.
It's not an argument from my side. If you enjoy it more power to you. I have bigger problems with the writing than the art. It'll probably take an established person to get me back in at this point.

Yup. The art felt off to me too but hardly my chief complaint with the book.

This is good to hear, cheers man. Definitely will check it out. This is very much my jam, bet the dark horse trade will be really nice too.
What about Batgirls art tho?

that a lame reaction from bruno "oh its your fault! its always about you! blah blah iam moving to wakanda!" that reaction did not match his character at all.
I want the old ms.marvel, the laid back fun ms.marvel.

Apparently Marvel sucks at promoting pre-Now! 2.0 issues as having big things happen in them because
You'd think they'd try to promote this as a "Look, you should buy this issue before you pick up the new series we have Confidential all over".
Richard Rider is back alive at his parent's doorstep at the end of the newest Nova after telling Sam that he shouldn't give up the helmet and they have a heart-to-heart talk.

Yeah, though not in-costume.
You are wrong and I revel in your wrongness.
That's all well and good, but what about Gotham's Sweetheart Bolgirl?
I think it would be better if this Nova run was just ignored and if I bought this book just for that "epilogue" because Marvel hyped it up I would be upset.

I only associate that song with H3H3 at this point. "I even had that blue beanie, I thought I was Ethan."

I'm enjoying it, but I will admit, this issue does something a smidge grating: nearly every piece of dialogue contains some kind of snark and snark-back. Literally constant bickering. Art is good, story is good, and the snark isn't poorly written, it's just omnipresent.
