Spidey #1-3 - Cute. That was cute. I dont have much more to say, or anything bad to say either. The art is great, the writing is funny (even if its weird for a book chronicling Pete's early days would have smartphones or selfies but I guess this isnt cannon), the stories are self contained, its a easy read. Not something I would buy outside of MU mind you but its completely harmless.

Not how his powers work in the MCU. He sees the world as if it's on fire, but he doesn't really have the radar sense from the comics.
Although I agree that it was bullshit that he couldn't figure out that tracking breath would work. In all his time having his abilities, he never thought to do that?

Pretty much. Though there was also Annihilation Conquest which came after.
Man, why does everyone forget about Galacta? Come on Marvel, give her an ongoing.
Save us Adam Warren.

I agree with sticking with the core books for teaching, because I didn't understand a good portion of what you said, but the idea of a petrified corpse with a rock through it as an axe is fantastic. I love how creative it can be, and really hope to play more soon.
I feel like Munn is pretty underrated. She was basically the best part of The Newsroom for a season and a half through sheer force of charisma alone.

I actually just found out it was Galacta from Mahfood's hashtags. I thought it was some random genderbent creation.

Is Goodreads solid enough to keep track of comics? Or should I stick to my tried and tested excel file?
I also don't want to separately track my comics and manga.. ugh.

A ton! Gotta love a Druid who talks a wolf into fighting with you instead of against you.

Ah I miss playing pen and paper RPGs. In high school i was part of a regular Vampire the mascarade game. It was fun times.
Now I get my fix watching the Easy Allies D&D show Tabletop Escapades

I wish they did more books like this, it brings the gap well between *adult* books* and *kid* books. I saw it mentioned somewhere it was ending though, which if true would be disappointing.
Haha I go the spreadsheer route. I tried goodreads but it was too much fuss and I think the sorting options annoyed m (this was awhile back though). Did you get a start on Scalped yet btw?

Yea, I'm sticking to my spreadsheet as well. I tried inputting about 8-10 books and while I like a lot of the website, it's just too messy to keep track of issues alongside trades.
As for Scalped, I bought the first volume but didn't get a chance to download it. Didn't have access to good enough internet to do so. Hopefully I'll get a chance to read it in the next couple of days.
I haven't seen anything about Spidey ending. We'll see for sure in a few weeks though.

Hope ont man. It was on reddit, not a press release or anything, so could definitely be shit, just doesn't seem a book anyone would bother lying about either. I would honestly like to see them expand these books!
Hahah brilliant, look foward to your thoughts
If that's the list I'm thinking then it's simply listing the books not in the Marvel Now preview book as cancelled.

Ah right, awesome, thanks
another thing I like about this series: not only have they did a trade, they actually did a big treasury edition. That's a real nice compromise because I want to get it for my kid in collected form, but no doubt staples are a bit easier for him so having this big thick thing but that will open right out and lie on his pillow or something no bother if great (that's what these things are right? )EDIT: Wait, no, I don't think they use staples, they are bound? Really shitting up the thread with my inaccuracies this morning. More coffee needed

Aw it's awesome man eh. Hickman was nailing it from day one at marvel, I'd like to see him do some more spy stuff, none of his books are really hitting that right now. Some really great use of his graphic design work hinting at the different facilities etc too
Plus spoiler for the end but
whe fury decided he's done with strucker for good

Haha, I actually got the omnibus then ditched it, if you believe. I have trouble reading books that are too thick, getting comfortable etc, the infinity ohc is about my limit. I changed it out for just the regular trades.

Just picked up civil war AND sushi. Today is going too well.
The event or the movie?

Not really. If you didn't like #1 you aren't going to care for the rest either.
That first article further supports my desire for a Fantastic Four run from Slott.

I won't lie, eating sushi is like an event for me! I meant the movie though haha I went with the team cap sleeve.
Awesome! First time for me man, looking forward to it. If my kid behaves through homework I can watch through dinner, if he comes in looking to burn all bridges and drag us all down with him, I'll have to wait all the way til 8pm so fingers crossed.

Ah yea that could be a fun run
And I knew most of those series on the list. Everyone should definitely check out Chase and also Thor: the mighty avenger.

Received some of my comics swag today, things just keep looking up. Decided I'd catch up on the superhero books with this batch, independent and mignola stuff next:
These were the ones I could get quick delivery. Still waiting on two more Thor OHCs, and of course the 2nd of 3 arrived first, because why not, The Vision, Old Man Logan & Omega Men
I too must now suffer the horror of HC Batgirl vol.1 sitting beside softcover Batgirl vol. 2

I used Goodreads extensively while doing the 50/50 challenge the past few years, but I don't find it very conducive to tracking single issues for comics. It's decent for trades, but I feel you're almost putting in more work to track singles than any potential benefits.
Since I hopped into the 1K comic challenge mentioned a few months ago, I'm honestly just using Evernote to keep my list up to date. It's a simplified version of how I tracked stuff for the 50/50 thread. Here's my list for 2016.
Bear in mind, this doesn't track individual issues I've read, just total numbers. I use Comixology and MU's "read" categories for that. If you aren't digital, this won't work well. You'll probably need to stick to a spreadsheet or something if you read physical.
