I'm surprised none of you said Doctor Fate.

Btw I thought Batman & Robin Eternal was a pretty cool story if you like the Robins/Batgirl/Harper Row/Cass. Doesn't suffer from the same problems as Batman Eternal where it was stretched out over a year and full of filler. The villain is really creepy to me too.
I don't think many of us read it.

Valiant pushed hard to get nominated in as many Harvey award categories as they could and still got shut out ayyy lmao

I didn't see anyone mention this, but congrats on the future spawn, Music Man! That new Batman is cool and all, but I'd wager the actual human child is a bit bigger of a deal.

4 PM my time. That will work. Maybe I'll even do something wild like research some players not on KC's roster. For science.

Not over a full year but it definitely has weird dumb stuff that goes nowhere at the start.
Azriel, Bane, Tim possibly being a plant. Dick going to see that person living in a VR room and all kinds of weird shit that was pointless.
If it was condensed and had a continuous writer it could have been a pretty good story. Overall I thought it was a complete mess though.
What dumbass DC editor thought it was a good idea to give TELOS a fucking ongoing??
Like....what the fuck? That's a mindboggling decision. Who would even buy that book?

Don't mind my weird hate for Batman and Robin Eternal. I have a lot of hate for it out sticking with it when I should have given up near the beginning.

Birdie only scores the average Valiant book an 8.5. They had no shot.
I'm reading their stuff in the shame-free embrace of Scribd, and none of it strikes me as award worthy. Maybe the Harvey Birdman awards...
Around 6,000 people it seems.....

There are a few that are good. There were more but they ended. I miss old Archer and Armstrong, and Ivar.

lol, I saw that book too when I was going through the IST update this week.
For what it's worth, I've enjoyed most every Valiant book I've tried so far. That's Ivar Timewalker, Death-Defying Doctor Mirage, and Generation Zero.
Well, I tried Faith, too. But wasn't a huge fan of that one.

I'd like to check out X-O and Ninjak but they're so many issues in it's a little daunting. Not start-reading-One-Piece-from-the-beginning daunting, but still.
I'm jumping around so much that it doesn't bother really bother me.

Jumping around how exactly?

Major antagonist from Convergence. He was a Brainiac created by Brainiac to maintain Convergence. Or something.
It wasn't a good event.
Man that was an event, alright.... lol

Most events don't turn out well from my experience. It's a miracle that Civil War II is still hanging in there. Speaking of which, when is the next issue? It's been a few weeks, and that's not like Marvel at all.
Next issue comes out on the 14th.

Ordered that Amanda Conner Stafire statue from DCBS because she's totes adorbs. I'm passing on the Bombshells statues now because I'm kinda done with the line. I may end up selling the older ones just to wash my hands of them.

I don't understand what you're saying. Express yourself with one of your creations.

I still haven't checked out that book. It's on my list. THE list.
I picked up the first two issues during a Comixology sale and liked it.

Any word on these DC direct BTAS PVC statues. They look good in screenshots. Especially the joker one
Freezasaurus

Whaaaaat. Since when does DCC make PVC statues? Are you talking about the ones from Diamond? Those are the only ones I've seen.
TheDarkKnight774

Yea sorry the diamond ones

Joker one came out last month. :3
Also fuck Battlefield 1. Apparently all it's about is getting killed by some cunt you can't see. I've fucking rage-deleted this piece of dog shit twice now.

Yea. It seems to be my experience as well. I might go back to Overwatch. Anyone here play on PC?

Just read the New 52 SHAZAM! Vol. 1. Fantastic story. Absolutely fantastic. Just some damn good cape comics right there.

Because they're awful.
The oldschool ones from when the series was PC only were cool
