Cyclops continues to be a shockingly fun solo series.

Justice League #44 was a fun read. Not sure what the hell is going on with those two "heralds" but I'm thinking of adding Justice League to my pull list. Been grabbing it off the shelves because my LCS always stocks so much DC books.

I decided to read more Black Science to decide if i'm going to stay monthly or wait for the OHC after buying the first 16 issues already, i liked issue #2 and am starting to get a feel for some of the characters that i didn't at all in the first issue.
 
My batman eternal #1 came battered from amazon. It was literally a paperback in a box with NO padding at all so all the corners are splitting from the impact. :/ I feel like if I order again it won't be better...

It's probably been mentioned, but it's best to switch over to IST if possible and line up $50 shipments to get free shipping.

I am but these are the books that were on sale from batman day. The other 3 arrived undamaged so I guess I'm just being greedy. :(

Edit: Is there anywhere marvel says if they plan to reprint something? There's some recent books I want but not at $100-250 on the limited supply market.

I reckon it's best just to ask here, a lot of people know what's coming up.

not Annihilation
 
Man, Modok Assassin final issue was great. Pretty much at least one decent joke per page, and a very satisfying conclusion. Do wish that Modok and Angela eventually become a thing for reals.

So I finished Captain Marvel Vol 3: Alis Volat Propriis the other night. This whole 2014 run, while fun, never hit as hard as Down or Enemy Within. I mean that was never the point, the entire three volumes have been fun-time space adventures, and they've been entertaining, breezy, fairly frivolous as it went along. The final issue, however, as with the previous run, exemplifies just how fucking good Kelly Sue is with creating emotionally resonant endings. It was a reminder of what I was missing with the whole 2014 run. The rest of the issues in the volume were just kinda more of the same, the Black Vortex issue had acouple interesting moments. But yeah, it's the final issue that is the real strong point.


Didn't get a chance to respond earlier, but well said.

Cheers :)

Sucks. Everyone here always has bad things to say about Amazon shipping when it comes to trades, so I never tried. IST is slow, but do great packing.

Archie #3 was amazing. Going to miss Staples a lot, but I'm in it for the long haul... every issue is a treat.

can comics-gaf form a ps4 community with this new update? i haven't read up on it.

yoo i'm down for this

i updated mine this morning but didn't try a game.... maybe i should
 
OK Lurchpog, I read Fall of Harbinger and yeah, it was pretty damn good and would be a reasonable ending for everything (Even if pretty much everyone had unfortunate ends). It was cute how it explicitly states that it is only an ending, not the ending

It's weird to think about how Amazon was originally focused entirely on shipping books when you look at how they handle them these days.

It's funny too because you'd order something that is indestructible and they used to give you an enormous box with absurd amounts of airbags and now if you have a single like 3" x 3" airbag you're like being spoiled with it. I just don't get it. I was even ok with the bent corners until I noticed it splitting which will just make it fall apart.

It's not even trades, it's in general. They just don't protect their packages. I guess at least this came in a box since they seem to have a huge boner to put EVERYTHING in bubble envelopes even when they're fragile.
 
I don't know if I should spoiler tag this, but I will just to be on the safe side. Supposedly, in the latest issue of Lobo, the entire Red Lanterns run
has been retconned and reset to the status quo from the beginning of the New 52.
I don't read Lobo though, so I can't confirm if this is true or not.

Not the case.
People just forget shit. Around this time last year Atroscitus (or however you spell his name) returned, Guy kicked his ass and put Bleez and Rankorr in charge saying he was leaving the Red Lantern Corps (keeping the ring but done with everything else) He said to bring Atrocy to the GL corps to lock him up but then God Hand happened, and I'm guessing he never made it. So Lobo has Bleez and Rankorr together, Rankorr is killed and Bleez goes back to the RL world where Atrocy has gotten a ring again.
No retcon or reboot, just shit happened off screen, and it's nowhere near the status quo of when the N52 started nor has it been retconned to have no happened.,

Haha, so like that or something that's really recent like Uncanny X-Force that I'm still kicking myself over. Is it common that they reprint or is it truly few and far between? I noticed Uncanny X-men #1 omnibus has already been reprinted but I think it was out of stock for quite some time before that.

Edit: I guess I'm looking generally if I should buy at say $100 which is MSRP essentially or hold out for a reprint. And if that's likely or it's fool's dream to wait and think it will happen.

For all omni related news, I check out The Omnibus Collector blog

For Marvel, you can check the solicits as they come out for the month and skip to the end to see the tpbs, ohcs and omnis. Same thing with DC. That blog goes over them and lets you know whats coming out so you dont have to bother with solicits

Thanks for the clarification. That makes far more sense than DC deciding to reset the status quo. I loved Red Lanterns and was sad to see it go. I don't read Lobo and couldn't find another source to corroborate the original post, so it was incredibly difficult to ascertain it's legitimacy.

Dysart really does a fantastic job of portraying how ridiculously overpowered Peter and Harada are. But that whole last act, man, man man man. I've been thinking about it all day. Even as just a one-off "this is one of many endings" things, that was just stellar and I'd accept it as the true ending. Even if no ending is true.

Also, where the fuck has Kano been hiding this talent!? I've loved his art since... whatever the first book he was in, and he has moments of greatness, but goddamn those last 10 pages.

I'm pretty sure they won't be doing the UXF omni for awhile, if at all. They only just recently reprinted the trades into 2 nice collections.

I will have to look into making the best comics gaf ps4 community in the world.
 
Archie #3

What a strange issue. There were some weird disconnects from panel to panel, and the bathroom part felt kind of forced. Still enjoyed it.

Amazon has been really hit or miss for me lately. I had to return Ostrander's suicide squad (which I had shipped the day it came out!) and Deadpool the Way Collection volume 3 twice each before getting acceptable copies the third time. And Finch's Wonderwoman showed up with a badly dinged front corner I had t swap out (second was good though) but the other stuff I have been getting has been fine (like Wolfman & Perez's teen titans volumes 2 and 3)

Bought and liked the first two issues, but think I will just start buying these as trades.
