What the... oh! Doom Patrol. That abbreviation could have been anything.

lmao that's always been my favorite thing about Doom Patrol over the years

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I really liked Batman #6. Nice for Gotham Girl to actually get a bit of the spotlight and that Kite-Man page. So good.

That it shares an abbreviation with double penetration?

 

[RepairmanJack]

So am I the only one still reading Batman Beyond?

Spoilers regarding Tec 940 and most recent BB

I'm wondering if Future Tim disappearing will somehow play into the whole Tim/Oz thing.

Yeah it's funny!!

(also I think it's lesser Morrison tbh)

Why the fuck did Dark Horse bother making a Ninth Wave Library Edition when it's only 152 pages?

BC: Someone might want to make a thread about this.

I'm going to bed soon.

You know, I love retailers, always will, but they are supremely let down by current print standards. Dull colors, spotty detail, thin pages. I honestly don't know how they get away charging money for them. With digital at least I understand, you have a permanent, hi res, perfect edition of the work of artisans. Print comics have none of those advantages. It's really disgraceful. It's heartening that people like Fiffe still give a shit. An issue of Copra is a sturdy, gorgeous work of art.

He is an artisan in an industry of cutthroats.

Honestly, I think it's just the industry's way of pushing everyone toward digital. There's way more profit in it than having to print and ship physical media.

So I've relatively recently started getting into comics, primarily Batman. I've read The Killing Joke, Knightfall, and am currently working through A Death in the Family. I've enjoyed reading all of them.

So my question for you, Comic-GAF, is what other Batman storylines should I keep an eye out for? Finished arcs are preferable, but I'm not opposed to getting into a current arc if it's really good/shows promise.

I'm also not opposed to other superheroes either, so if there's storylines from other characters that are must reads I'm willing to give them a shot.

Thanks in advance

My favourites:
- The Long Halloween
- Year One
- Court of Owls - the entirety of Snyder and Capullo's run is worth reading though
- The Black Mirror
- Grant Morrison's Batman run (Batman and Son to Batman Inc.)

Gotham Central! A complete run, absolutely brilliant and takes the less explored road to batman. I second the court of owls/black mirror/Snyder stuff too, great modern run.

Sounds like some good starts. Thanks!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Aww shit, it's toy day up in here.

 

[ElNarez]

Today's Suicide Squad really found its groove. Plus it's got a page I totally would have written if I had been in charge.

I bought the Bollard cover and made the clerk tell me what was under the sticker.

Pocket Universe! Nice...

I also added the newest Detective Comics since it has implications for Rebirth.

Anyone read Morning Glories? Is it good, the premise sounds intersting.

I read the first five volumes. I really like Lost and it apes lost at almost every turn so there was some enjoyment that way, but the pacing caused me to drop off, i'll probably just wait until the entire thing is done and read it then.

I have some critical thought about trying to apply the type of story that lost told to a) the comics medium and b) to characters who are teenagers but won't get into that right now, I haven't reread in a good while and I wouldn't say I'm fresh enough.on all the details.

I'd say try volume 1 though and see if it floats your boat. They've completed 50 issues, apparently the aim is 100 so it's about half way through.

oh man. The art in that series is gorgeous. The problem comes with the story. It's a very very slow burn, even for a Nick Spencer book. You end up with more questions the further in you go. I think I stopped at around issue 34 or 35, and I still had very little idea what was going on at that point.

Haven't read Doom Patrol yet, but are they're any references to the previous team that was in New 52 after Forever Evil.

I like it a lot. This is what I wanted from this series. New statue sculpts in new costumes. Not scaled-down versions of old statues.

There's another Gwenpool holiday special coming, but Gurihiru doesn't seem to be working on any parts of it.

Well that money was clearly stolen so the joke is on that Santa lol.

They won't know Santa's real identity. He can make small deposits to avoid suspicion.

It could work as a nickname for Sony's first party studios.
