Another Brubaker newsletter already. I like these regular, they're like little personal reminders in my inbox that a new Bru trade.is coming out. Velvet volume 3 fuck yea!

Oops, top of the page. Anyone who reads doom patrol and loves it, if you haven't already, check out the umbrella academy books! Fantastic work by Way (without even getting started on the art by Ba and Moon)

Also remember to

Spoiler

preorder two months in advance several copies at a time

pick up the new series of Gotham Academy so I can keep reading the trades.

Also last edit but does anyone NOT READ Dr Strange at this point that feels like they want to?

Teens love pointless drama, I lived it. I made a habit of starting pointless shit. I don't think Runaways is gonna be enough to get people to sub to Hulu.

I'm a big Runaways fan and I still haven't decided yet. I just don't need a second streaming service. And if I did get a second one I'd prefer Prime over Hulu.

I'm extremely disappointed in myself for not making the Blue Condor connection to

Spoiler

Black Condor of the Freedom Fighters

in the first issue of New Super-Man.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Naw I don't think it's on MU yet, my friend buys the floppies and I've been borrowing those. I'm morally opposed to spending $5.99 for a single issue no matter how good it is.

community is important

Just read Superman #6. Fantastic ending to a great opening arc. And it was funny when I realized Superman had on True Religion jeans.

I dropped it at issue 5 IIRC.

I just drank some pumpkin spice late from Starbucks and I am feeling jittery as hell. I don't normally get a kick from even the heaviest caffeinated drink.

No one and nothing can help you man, not even your ginormous tv.

I was thinking that earlier, if I was a singles reader there is a tooon of good stuff today

Hey, it was about to start crossing over with Deadpool of all books!

Wait, really? Haha.

Yeah, spent $40 on 11 books. Pretty consistent since DC started double shipping.



As I was going through the CMX list, I almost added a book called Lazaruz my cart. Well played publisher-of-obscure-book.

What do you mean almost!

 

[BrightLightLava]

Animosity is still real good.

All-Star Batman still feels very strange and out of continuity, but is sort of a fun who's who of C-List Batman villains.

 

[Freezasaurus]

What do you mean almost!

I admit, It would have been funnier if I accidentally bought it, but I realized Lazaruz was not in fact Lazarus.

Re: Marvel vs DC
Personally I haven't read anything in either Rebirth or ANAD that absolutely wowed me. They both have enjoyable books (particularly liking Green Arrow) but nothing that's reached the heights of Sheriff of Babylon or The Fix, which are my two favorite books currently. Black Panther has probably come the closest, and I've also enjoyed the Marvel Star Wars stuff.

Spoiler

I'm also liking Civil War II though I haven't paid for an issue yet.

Is Vision considered ANAD? Cause that book is amazing.

I also like Sam Wilson Cap cause that book keeps it real.

Final issue of Darth Vader preview before Marvel announces whatever else Gillen is doing for them. Wow, tons of variant covers. It and Champions must have the most covers this year not counting Harley and Batman.

Jesus more covers than preview

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Quite a big week for me as well, though I've cut down on a few titles. I didn't end up buying any books last week so they carried over.

All Star Batman #2
Batman #6
Black Panther #6
Detective Comics #940
Doctor Strange #11
Poe Dameron #6
Wonder Woman #6

Oh yessss. I need that Samnee variant.

 

[LordOfLore]

You know, I'm betting the first true Rebirth event will be

people trying to break into Mr. Oz's place and finding out what he's hiding in his vaults

I thought about buying Vol. 9 of Batman. I'll just get it cheaper on Amazon.

Doom Patrol is off to a good start.

I'm looking forward to it, really really enjoyed vol.8, and it left off in a pretty exciting way. That jock issue too. I think all my favourite batsnyder stuff has been when he's adding new toys to the box.

Animosity is the first non-Image title to make the cut

That Jock issue is one of the best in Snyder's entire run. Loved his art and it was pretty hard-hitting as well.

 

[Malyse]

CW2 could have been conceptualized as AvsI.

Also, Romeo is so goddamn smooth in All New Xmen 13.
All New Inhumans on the other hand....

 

[Brian Fellows]

Is there a preview out?

I have not seen one yet. Seeley just posted the pic on Twitter.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Tynion DC exclusive.

Interesting they specifically denote Vertigo alongside the exclusive. You don't get that often these days.

We have a history here with that book.

Hahahah how did GAF view Catwoman New 52?

What are comics? Do they exist? Does Freeza like gravy?

I think they've brought it up on most of the writer signings lately. With the writer of Flash they even announced a title he will be writing on Vertigo. I think it was Frostbite or something like that.

 

[tim1138]

SUPERWOMAN WAS SO DOPE

Yes it was, I never saw the twist at the end coming. The extended Super family books (New/Woman/Girl) are just crushing it right now.

I've totally missed that. We were talking about it a few days ago in fact, how exclusive to DC or Marvel has almost became simply *don't work for the opposite* creators have been going where they like as far as their own work is concerned. I wonder if they got those contracts sorted out (allegedly the most offputting part about putting your own book out under Vertigo)

Totally off topic but in case any of you are computer whizzes, I dropped a question that's stumping me off in the gaf build a pc thread, if anyone knows anything about coil whine, I could use the help. No worries though.

The end of Chris Sims' look back at the Electric Blue year. He found it amazing that Superwoman Red happened while he was doing this.

Superline with the expectiion of Action is pretty solid right now.

This is the first time I'm ever considering jumping on, I think I'll grab the first volumes of Superman & Supergirl for sure.
