Yeah, it's worth a shot if you're a Marvel head. It's kind of an 80s Marvel comics that plays with 90s XTREME concepts in the context of 00s continuity (i.e. post-Disassembled, Civil War, and AvX). A lot of Claremont in there but Remender's gotta be a WCA fan too, dude brings back Wasp, Wonder Man and Scarlet Witch in by issue 5. Give it like 6-7 issues tho because the first arc sucks shit
This so much. They really dropped the ball with those first few issues but thankfully it's been getting better and crazier with each new issue. I can't imagine what Remender is going to do after it's all take care of.

Picked up Deadly Class #1 today too, looking forward to that.

I've gotten more hours at work and can finally get back into the swing of things. Gonna do a pull list refresh. Probably try to make it smaller, have a bunch of stuff I feel like I can let go.

DC still sux

I dream of a day where I like 1/3 of my pull, lol

write down your pull list and GAF will have no problem decimating it.


I also decided to get Inhuman #1....don't let me down Marvel. I did skip Original Sin #0, but i'll get the regular series.
 
This week, I just got Hawkeye and The Wake.

I really wonder if I should hunt down Ms Marvel. All I know is that it's good. Beyond that, nothing. Someone give me a quick review as to why it's so great? I'm not much of a superhero guy.

Definitely did not see that coming in Hawkeye. Easily the series' best issue in a while.

Seriously. That shit shattered my soul.
 
Random question, do we have any idea if and when we will see deluxe hardcovers of Saga? Something similar to the Invincible Ultimate collection would be fantastic.

They'll do it. No doubt. I'm actually a bit surprised they haven't started yet, but they do have the requisite two TPBs out. So we'll probably see the first one this year. Though they seem to be moving toward the hardcovers without dust-jackets. Which is what I prefer, but I think Invincible is in the minority, there.

What the fuck just happened in Hawkeye. Dammit, bro. Guess we'll find out in three months.

No comics today but IST delivered

Double dipped for Zero so I can get a few friends to read it. Excited for FBP!

Zero and FBP? Have fun, dude--those are two of the best books coming out right now. Also, I was thinking of picking up Daredevil OHC 2, since I have the first, but reading through the first, the paper quality is offensive. Panels bleed through and it feels thin-sliced recycled shit.

Why are you guys buying shit you don't like?

I find it incredibly hard to drop books. I read for certain characters and I am forever an optimist. I feel like every month this will be Catwomans month. It only happened once. Zero Year by layman.

This is truly a red letter day, not only did Manhattan Projects come out but I finally found someone who has the Science.Bad. shirt in stock.

Because we all kind of hate ourselves and enjoy throwing money away.

Kamala's a pretty charming character in a teenage self-discovery kind of way. Her religious identity is part of her and her family and that in it of itself is interesting to see done in a comic, period. All the characters are pretty likeable on their own, even the one we shouldn't like. Art is fantastic.

The story IS just getting started however, so it's a lot of typical origin story stuff for 70% of it. But it's worth checking out, in my opinion.

So true. I own all of the Flashpoint floppies. Like all of them. There was one with the Canterbury Cricket.

Hopefully all the criticisms about the Infinity HC quality actually reaches Marvel.

But I will complete that Daredevil run, I missed it the first time around.

Lol YISSSSSS
 
Superior Spider-Man #28 is kicking ass.

really? i didn't think a whole heck of a lot really happened this issue. lots of buildup, but no real payoffs.

The solicit for next issue has my interest though- looks like spiderman 2099 inexplicably shows up again, after the city has been going to hell for god knows how long now.
 
One of the best things they do. Stellar feeling books. Nice heft to them.

It's insane, I sort of want to buy their books just for that.

First issue of Ruse was pretty fun, I hope it continues.


Edit: Any suggestions on things to start reading?

I've got:
Ruse
All-New X-factor
X-Force
Amazing X-Men
Harley Quinn

Should I get any of the batman or other stuff?

Fantastic Four - I regret my morbid curiosity within two pages and Sues "I almost despise Reed now!" flash-forward. The dialogue reads like it was translated into Chinese and back into English. It is at times utterly unreadable. MARVEL NOW! [(

*applause* *whistle*

I was tempted to pick this up because I love the FF and my life feels better when there is a good FF book to buy. I had such hopes. Such...hopes.

And Abnett writing a Rocket novel? Yes please. I have never played a Warhammer game but Abnett's Warhammer novels are the bees' knees.
