Haha nice! Jones is really something the stuff she did on helheim looked really good too.
Cool so if you only have an interest in extraordinary there's no need to grab the other series or anything like that?

I read that Generation Zero book. I thought it was ok? Maybe a weird way to introduce the characters? I'll stick around for a bit, the mystery sounds cool.
Oh yeah, to continue talking about never-talked-about-books, Faith #2 was pretty good too. Though not as good as #1.
I'm glad this is a pretty small week so I can catch up on stuff.

you didn't watch it in theatres? weren't you the guy who saw it early? or was that someone else
I never go to theaters, yet spoilers bug me as much as paint. The one time I did go in the last several years was for Force Awakens and that got spoiled the day before I went :l
speechless

I didn't see Civil War yet, either. Was going to, but never really felt like actually going.

I don't think it was just BvS, I think comic films in general are just hitting that point now.
pretty much.
They're too dumb to sustain the hype, but since I liked winter soldier I'm looking forward to finally seeing civil war.
Yeah seems like it's just self contained stories featuring some version of Apocalypse. This may tie into something bigger at some point but for now I think issue 12 was the end of Apocalypse Wars. Now we are moving onto some awesome Limbo shenanigans.

General rule of thumb I enjoy all these movies. I find a few of the marvel ones a little bland at times (ant man) but winter soldier, guardians, bvs, really fun stuff for what they are. They'll never be the departed but really enjoyable experiences. We never go to see them at the theatre though, I just have no love for the cinema experience, and accessibility is super poor at most cinemas, you have to sit right up the front etc, and with a kiddo around anyway, we just like waiting on the bluray release and having a night of it, get some takeout etc. Avoiding spoilers is near impossible haha
Cool man, I was looking at the trade and they only do extraordinary in paperback, the apocalypse war trade is a hc though and that shit drives me crazy haha

Sounds good, but isn't the league hands down more powerful than the Squad.

One of the few fairly prolific guys these days that I'm still totally ignorant too man, haven't read anything by him. Like the look of nail biter but just has never made it to my actual basket yet.
Im not that interested in the uncanny and ANAD side of Apocalypse Wars so that's an easy pass. I'll just buy the volume 2 of extraordinary which collects those issues.
Still need to read Birthright, had the first volume for months.
Please buy volume one of Birthright. I couldn't put it down. Read 4 volumes in 2 days.

Fabok on art is more notable for me. His back parts of the Suicide Squad issues have been great.
Not sure if this is something I exactly want with JL being so bad and Williamson's Flash being pretty boring. But the concept of Batman V Waller and Fabok art has me interested.
Reading the article it seems like the whole versus aspect is a little overplayed. Seems more like a Batman V Waller in concept and their probably going to have some kind of situation to deal with that justifies Suicide Squads existence.

I mean I'm in... not even close to a fair fight, but I'm in.
Also based off of how announcing JLA, I'm gonna imagine like a X-Force book. Members of the Squad led by Batman to do covert missions for the League.

I'm anticipating Harley to the Justice League within a year.

Just read a couple of interviews there, Y'know, I really didn't know what this book was even about, but sounds interesting. I'm a big fan of the dark tower, the talisman, a lot of King's books have children getting dragged into darker worlds and dealing with adult themes, and parents being terrified of losing their children and how far they are willing to keep them safe and deal with their own hang-ups.etc. This looks like it might be my bag. September is a big catch-up month for me, so I'll see if I can fit it in. I had no idea it had made it up to so many issues either.

Remember how Williams said one of three really OP villains might end up on the Squad(can only remember Zod)? Guessing that one will help.
Harley will totally be on the JLA.

The way they introduced the team it seems like the Squad makeup will kind of be flowing from arc to arc.

Yeah it's just a label. It's just saying, "hey this book is doing an Apoc arc now." Nothing more.
Is it still just her weird precog/illusion thing?
Yeah, but I thought it was cool how the art was showing her fight using it.
