I'm already dying with this Marvel one. If they did a DC one too?
I have really few Marvel trades on my wishlist after this sale. I still have 700 items left on it from other publishers. Over 500 of them are DC volumes or single issues that aren't collected(really want a collection with all the Manhunter issues). I'd die if there was a sale.

Nice call, just bought!
Really want his New Avengers Omni, but no Vol 2 has held me back. Those new complete editions seem like a good replacement for the rest, just wish they were HC.
Also highly recommend he Jane Thor run! Hell all of Aaron's Thor has been a must read imo, especially for someone that has never been a big Thor fan.
Man, I'm buying junk I already own in real life, just because this Kindle sale is so good! Are we getting one of these for Marvel like every three months, now? 
If you only read newer Marvel, you guys and gals really owe it to yourselves to soak up at least of of those Epic collections. You can get all of the primo Lee/Kirby Thor for like less than ten bucks!
Fingers crossed a similar DC sale comes down the line, sometime.

X-Men Gold is bad
Don't get the Apocalypse wars trade. It's not worth it. It's just different storylines from the X-books that happen to deal with Apocalypse. All-New is a time travel story to the past, where we see En Sabah Nur as a child; Extraordinary is a visit to a future that Apocalypse controls called Omega World (amazing story arc); Uncanny is just a bunch of nonsense that gives us Archangel again.

Same. Bunn's Uncanny was bad. It ranged from boring to incomprehensible. X-Men Blue is good though, so I'm honestly confused.

Oh....
It's a blue Lana Lang. Or Livewire.
I mean, Rebirth Superman was technically Superman Blue and New 52 was Superman Red.

Extraordinary was pretty bad IMO. Lemire's take on pretty much every character was wrong. Storm was insufferable. Iceman was just a terrible quip machine. His OML dialogue felt like it was written by a 12 year old. Young Jean was overbearing and obnoxious. Also the "mutie hate" was way over the top and out-dated.
I'm still amazed that book was written by the same guy who writes Black Hammer.

Messi, can we please have the Dec thread holiday themed with all the Image, DC and Marvel specials and not Phoenix themed?

I'll do you one better. We can have neither of those things.
What if I told you I'll feature some Christmas specials, a Christmas banner and phoenix will be in the marvel category.

I prefer the newer paperbacks but it's nice to see it coming. Have it ordered. I'd love to see Dini bring it back.
I really want a Bat family game with a set up like Detroit. Your progression and endings would semi limited to what character you play as: Tim and Bruce would be much more detective oriented while Cassie and Damian would fight it out and Jason would have a wholly unique path since he's a "criminal". Maybe even pull a Live a Live/Sonic Adventure and make you play all the characters to get the true ending chapter.

Also, holy crap Red Hood is amazing.

His Death commissions are always so great. Wish he wasn't so hard to commission. I wish I hadn't turned down a commission from him 2 years ago lol

If I get a Bat Family game, I just want a beat'em up. Seriously. That's all I want. Co-op that shit. I don't need an immersive superhero experience. I just wanna beat the hell out of bad guys as the Bat Family.
Batman
Nightwing
Robin (Damien)
Red Hood
Red Robin
Batgirl (Barbara)
Orphan (Cassandra Cain)

Batwoman
Super secret hidden:
Catwoman

I also want a Trinity family game with drop in drop out 3 person co-op. There would also be puzzles based around Science, Magic, and Strength to correspond to Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman type characters. As you progress further, you would unlock different characters in each family, like Donna Troy, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, and Kara Danvers.
It would ideally be a lower budget title and conceptually along the lines of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light with more fighting.
Also, the Shazam Family counts under Wonder Woman because I said so.

Add in Harley Quinn. She's the fourth pillar.
By Tomasi and Gleason? That's coming out November 8th.

Batfamily game would be aces. The Arkham series nailed the feeling of being Batman with stealth and combat (though a bit too brutal for my liking) but I think it would need a new direction. Not sure what, though.
I'd prefer for it to be made up of smaller stories rather than one big story, so you can fit loads of characters and arcs in there, sort of like a greatest hits thing. It wouldn't happen because there's always a need to go all "epic" and bombastic, though.

No, the Grant Morrison one.

So my friend and I came up with an amazing book idea:
DC Superhero Doctors
Dr. Midnite
Soranik Natu
Flashpoint Thomas Wayne
Imagine that shit.

Why are they doing an Omni for Batman & Robin when they never collected the first part of his Batman arc in an Omni lol!? I have the Absolutes for B&R and Batman Inc, I want RIP and everything that came before it like Batman and Son!
Better yet, Snyder's run needs the Omni treatment.

I'm sure they'll get there. No way they're going to stop monetizing that run anytime soon.

Just put Remender and Duggan's Uncanny Avengers into two omnis and list them as Uncanny Avengers Vol. 1&2. Forget that Zub's run is happening.

Yeah, an omni collecting that Batman run would've been good to have.
I just got the Batman and Son trade a few days ago and didn't know it also contained the Black Glove arc, so that was a nice surprise. I think The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul is out of print, which is unfortunate. Haven't read that story in so many years.
Nah.

Zub stinking up another Marvel book huh? Oh well at least he'll always have Wayward.
Unless they revive Hack, Harley is no pillar.
