I thought Johnny Blaze and Daniel Ketch were both Ghost Rider for a bit, but I could be wrong on that. Most of my GR reading was Ketch stuff in the 90s.
I don't care about the NFL at all this year, it feels like one giant NBA Eastern Conference, so many of these teams are awful. I get to choose between green bay/jaguars and baltimore/buffalo? Fun. At least the next game televised will be....the NYG and Cowboys. Might as well watch the Atlanta Hawks.

Oh hey it went through. I ruined my introduction to this fine comic reading establishment and now i feel like i don't get a second chance.
I changed it to match my psn name so that Overwatch and future gaming threads are easier to join up with people. I hope this new name doesn't effect my ability to make the November OT.

Not yet. Shopping around, though. Wait a few months, because the prices are going to come down by Christmas. Also HDR sets are the way to go. You get much better color ranges on those.
As far as the current TVs on the market, LG is supposedly the best maker.

I should have stuck with "Messi" for awhile longer but i thought it was time.

Read so many comics today!
I'm about a month behind(at least), but I spent a few hours yesterday and today trying to catch up.
Black Monday Murders #1
I've been putting this one off for a while now. It's thick, seemed really wordy, and would require a lot of my attention. Ended up coming away really intrigued, and will definitely be keeping it on my pull list.
Wonder Woman #4 and #5
I continue to love the Year One issues, and find the current timeline story decent-ish. Nicola Scott's work is so great(except for profiles, for some reason).
Gotham Academy Annual #1
I'm so glad Yearbook is over, and we're back to the Gotham Academy I love.
Snotgirl #2
Still really enjoying this. The artwork is so bright and full of color, and the story has kept me interested.
Nightwing #3
As much as I want to like Nightwing, I just don't care about this story. My pull list needs pruning, so I think I'm done with Dick ;P
Backstagers #1
My "support-it-cause-it's-gay" entry. It's cute and fun.
Supergirl: Rebirth #1 and Supergirl #1
The rebirth issue did nothing for me, and #1 was okay. I'll give it 2-3 or issues.
Horizon #2
I need to know more about this world if I'm going to keep reading this. So far it just feels like random scenes strewn together without any context. Makes it hard to care.
Papergirls #6, #7, and #8
It's still weird, but I like it.

Sometimes I think about adapting the others old name and avatar for maximum confusion.

Anyone want to know how well certain movies might do in Sweden next year? I just got the stats on how well they're expected to do thanks to my job up until Episode VIII if you're interested in what marketing and executives think movies will do.
Give Nightwing a few more issues. And I agree about Horizon-- it's good but could be better. I'm going to start grabbing Paper Girls at #11 and buy the trades. Supergirl is great... what specifically didn't you like?
BMM, damn, it's soooo good.
In all of my years on GAF, I have never seen a person on a community thread I'm part of change their name, yet I've seen it three times on here in the last like six months. WHAT IS HAPPENING. And the avatar changes. The constant avatar changes. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL (messi)
Its like last month when 90% of comicgaf celebrated birthday
No Mo Olivia Wilde, it's all about Lacey Chabert!

This is all well and good but you're still a silly monkey.

We do what we want.
Trying to get Messi not to change avatars. LOL. You might as well tell the sun not to rise.
I haven't changed avatars since 2011. Well, technically that was just choosing my first avatar. I'd feel like only part of myself without my iconic avatar.

I should change avatar since Nova won't be out for months and Sunstone is ending...
Let's see if I can find a Sejic piece to use.

As iconic as a Ubisoft protagonist's hat.

I havent changed since 2006
We buy into relaunches.
Except apparently for mine in which retailers are refusing to acknowledge.
There is no stopping Trump, our best chance just passed out from reading 5 comics in an hour. Best get on the right side of history before you draw his anger. Trump is going to devote the NSA to monitoring the internet for mentions of his name so he can judge if message boards are treating him fairly or not.
Seems reasonable.
We really should stop saying Sunstone is ending. This is madness. It's not ending it's just changing name for the next volume.

It's like when The Real Ghostbusters changed to Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters.
In every sense.
Sales are flagging. Clearly we haven't done enough events lately.

I just checked my order history with the place I use and I have Nightwing preordered up to #7 so hopefully it will pick up.
It's hard to say what I didn't like about Supergirl. I don't think it's any specific thing. It just has no hook for me yet. It could just be my unfamiliarity with Kara. I did enjoy #1 more than the Rebirth issue so maybe it will continue to grow on me.

But Ally and Lisa won't be on any more covers! :,(
New CSBG articles!

Yea it's probably too close to starting Christmas shopping to buy one this year, but just starting to get an idea about what I want, Feb - march will be a better time to actually purchase.
Still blasting my way through the vision. I don't really have anything insightful or clever to say about, not yet, but I am extremely fascinated by the entire tone of the book, it's introspectiveness, the art is perfect. The whole thing is great.
Wow, thank you. That means a lot to me.

Yeah but I'm excited for more. Can't wait for Marion's arc.
Some of the stuff coming up for for Alan will be amazing too.

I thought the Catwoman article was an interesting read.

Hot damn, the ending to the vision #6! Really looking forward to seeing where the whole thing goes and how it ends. Tom King is definitely the real deal, I'm a believer now.
Obviously I haven't read the bat book but there is a big difference between having a fairly large amount of autonomy over lesser characters and being able to deliver a definitive take that has a beginning and end with, and something like Batman. Despite how good these have been, it wouldn't shock me to find him struggle, it's a different beast. Still looking forward do seeing myself anyway.

#6 "P vs NP" is one of my favorite single issues ever. It was freaking awesome.

Probably because the writer has less control over a flagship franchise like Batman.

King on Suicide Squad. It makes too much sense.
You see what's happening to Rob Williams on Squad right? Wouldn't be much different situation.

Definitely, I should of known as soon as I saw
the dog, it would die.
Out of interest, Vision being in ANAD avengers, and going ahead, Vision in Avengers/Viv in champions, is there any references in ANAD, or do they keep well away? I couldn't tell if the Giganto reference and they Tony appearance were crossover moments or totally self contained.
Dunno where I seen it but ANAD Avengers first arc is the earliest in the ANAD timeline.

The only problem there is while he's the most obvious choice after Omega Men, that really is the definitive take from him. By telling a complete tale that drilled right to Rayner's core (and much more) and had a definitive end, it would be hard to follow up with just regular lantern stuff. If he was to do more, I'd love a 12 issue maxi series, same art team. It would need to be a different take some how though. Omega Men technically has plot threads but they are very much about
the perpetual nature of the book's ideas
Oh cool, so it's prior to his little washington experiment
