I feel like saying WW is 2 distinct stories is a little premature. They seem to be two ends of the same problem. WW can't get back to Themiscara (probably not spelled right) so we see her first leaving it and trying to get back to it. Now it seems to be trying to show that what's his name is important at both ends. We're not even done with one arc yet i just think it's hard to say they're distinct yet when it's from the same writer working with the same character concurrently.

Good. Now we've got some great Valiant books for you to try.

Don't be silly.
Shouldn't be any different than other recent Marvel omnis which are good quality.
Is this because of that hit-n-run/mary jane incident? Dude, it's been over a year.

I love those issues. My favourites of the run so far.

hmm...
I would say wait for a bit for people to post pictures/reviews. Marvel has been cheapening out on the paper. e.g., the old FF omnibus has so much better paper than the new one.
Maybe you can find a used copy of the old one on eBay?
Oh shit, sorry jon bones. That was bad timing on my part.

What is with people suggesting videogame producers write comics? Explain this to me please... I cannot think of a single person from gaming I would want on a book.
Is there more in the next trade?

Don't think so. #20 was the last one for now. The next trade will just be the Last Flight of the Harbinger arc.

Oooo, shiny. I'll keep an eye on this man. Still play a bit of the vita game but eh need new.

So far the book sounds and looks like something I will enjoy.

I'm really sad about that because I didn't discover how great Wipeout was until the Vita game. I went back to HD/Fury, but knowing that there probably won't be another one (at least for a long while) is a bummer.

Oh dude. Literally breaks my heart that you may never be able to play the first three.
Someone here recommended the new Scooby-Doo comics. I was hesitant to buy them because Giffen and DeMatteis (the writers) tend to be overly jokey and not in any sort of good way.
Anyway, I am too lazy to hunt down the person or persons who vouched for these books. I bought issues #1-#4 and the first one was great. I'm excited to get further into the story.
So, thanks for the recommendation. I'm sure you can sort out who it was among yourselves.

X-Men '92 #6
This was pretty fun. Bishop playing security is hilarious. Also,
The best.
Power Man and Iron Fist #7
Action Comics #962
Yeah we're done. This book has failed to keep my attention. This book decided that SuperLex, human Clark Kent, and Oz are apparently not interesting enough plot threads to maintain a book that has just spent it's first five issues (including the Rebirth) in a fight that is so poorly paced that only Toei Animation would be jealous of how they managed to somehow make it even slower. This entire first arc was about three issues far too long. And while the next issue is apparently focused on human Clark, we're done. I'll just stick with Superman and Supergirl for my Superfix now (I've had no interest in Nuperman or SuperLois).
Blue Beetle Rebirth #1
This was a lot of fun, but it didn't really draw me in. I enjoyed it, but I'm not too terribly interested in following these characters as they are. I'll trade wait on this.
I've also decided that I'm going to drop Deathstroke and Uncanny X-Men. Neither of them are worth the money, so I'm done. I've been trying to stick with all the X-books, but I can't deal with that one anymore. It's boring as fuck, and just plain bad comics. Bunn is doing a far better job with the CW2 mini than his own series. Deathstroke was simply unenjoyable, and not because the MC is a villain and intended to be evil, but because it was literally unpleasant to read. Didn't like it, so I'm done.

I don't know if it's freezasaurus or not but I know he's been enjoying the Hanna-Barbara stuff. I'm looking forward to picking them up when they release in trade format.

I remember picking up 2048 mostly on a whim, so that I would have something to play on Vita besides shrunk down Uncharted, and then basically played nothing but that for the next two months. Probably one of my proudest Platinum trophies.
I loathe that book. The Psylocke/Magneto dynamic is glacial paced, recursive, and inscrutable. Once Civil War II X-Men #4 comes out, I'm off X books for a good while.

I've been contemplating dropping it since about the third or fourth issue, but the artist change kept me locked in. However, Lashley's art was offset by Bunn going full stupid and writing pure nonsense. Then, Land comes back. I'm fucking done. If these are the tradeoffs I have to deal with, then I'm fucking done. I'll come back once someone else takes that book in both art and writing.

Haha I would settle for HD/Fury man but I got rid of my PS3 before they announced the closure, so no way to play them properly
it seemed like a safe bet there would be ps4 game. I know you can import most the content into the vita game, but lets face it, the vita controls just don't hold up that well in comparison. Rolls etc are a pain in the ass. (as much as I love my vita). Just sitting doing zone mode <3Mmm. Fraction/Annie Wu. That could be reaaally interesting.
I really like that cover for #3. I miiight check htis out. Still need to give ANAD avengers a shot.
Wait #11? Don't you mean #7 I think for power man and iron fistX-Men '92 #6

I see some derision online about the series. Wasn't here while it was coming out. Let me ask.
Did we have any fans of Kaare Andrews' Iron Fist series, the living weapon?

I think a lot of people had an issue with how serious the series was. I'm curious to see how he writes the new book because from what I heard that started to go away at the end.
Damn
It's gonna take some really special peeps to bring me back to it.

If value a fan of strong dialog, great characterizations, clear effective storytelling, snazzy/beautiful artwork, and a story that puts from a compelling history to commentate on the present, make sure you do NOT read Kaare Andrews' Iron Fist because its shit.
Instead, read Fraction/Brubaker/Aja's Immortal Iron Fist again.

Yea, I can see that. I'm a huge fan of Fraction/Bru's run, obviously the current run shows the swing in tone Danny's character can handle and in general I agree his character is usually more lighthearted.
That said, I REALLY liked the living weapon for what it was. I pretty much liked everything about it, especially the art. It was morbidly serious but majorly over the top so it was just this glorious thing. Basically like BvS but even more incredible fight scenes. Reaaally looking forward to Iron Fists, & Renato Jones.
So just wondering really, since I saw P-man & Iron Fist mentioned. I think I have really good ta-
.........God Damn it.

I've been reading some of it. Flintstones is excellent, as is Future Quest. Wacky Raceland was okay, but didn't hold my interest. I haven't checked out Scooby Apocalypse at all.
This. Such a great run. Although this particular volume did carry on for two more trades after this team left the book.

My issue with it wasn't that it was "serious" it was in Andrews' childish definition of serious. It's all moping after sex and death for the sake of death. Such a terrible book.

This is what I was getting at with morbidly serious though. Like exactly, the part where he's starin gout the window, the sex scene, the teethbrushing, all the same expression. And then all the heinous shit that happens mixed in. This is why it's such a terrible....y great book

Well I'm glad you enjoyed it at least. I'm just hoping that the show completely and totally ignores it when it comes to tone and to Danny's character.

Hahah. I think I just love stuff that reaches that perfect storm of grimdark and flambouncy all while taking itself utterly serious. I can't help but root for it in a hilarious way.
That said, I agree, to be honest I think the Fraction/Bru stuff is the perfect template for the show. I don't think you need to worry either, the cast they have, I think a true to the books Danny will bring some variety to the team, when they defender up.
