Yeah, there's going to be a Dial E book in September for Villains Month.
Every time I see some DC news I always breathe a sigh of relief knowing I'm doing as little as possible to support their failing business model.
After my last pull-list update the only DC book (not including Vertigo) I get monthly now is Batman. Everything else can burn.
but speaking of Vertigo, Trillium, pretty dope.

As is Collider. Vertigo is coming back strong.
hi all; Girlfriend and I are getting back into comics, so I come to you asking advice on the most recent (within the last two years) stuff that is worth getting into. We are typically Marvel (Earth 616) fans, so we frequently are reading this universe. For non-Marvel, she follows The Walking Dead religiously, while I frequently read Fables and Y: The Last Man. Within Earth 616, I'm frequently following cosmic Marvel and Runaways, while she is a Deadpool, Hawkeye, and Venom.
Now that is out of the way, I'm open to suggestions. When it comes to DC, I'm a Manhunter, Shazam, Hawkgirl, and Lantern fan. Girlfriend is not a fan (she's not opposed to it, just doesn't follow any characters) of anything DC.
1) Being a Runaways and Y: The Last Man fan, is Saga worth checking out and investing time/money?
2) What do you recommend for the most current comics to follow? I'm currently reading Avengers Arena (not so good, but two Runaways are in the story arc) and Guardians of the Galaxy (love it thus far). Girlfriend is reading The Walking Dead.
3) Age of Ultron or Pre-Infinity worth reading?
P.S. I'm disappointed Marvel has yet to re-release its cosmic stories from the early 2000's. It's hard to find any of the Nova or Guardians of the Galaxy volumes.

Just read the batman beyond 10000 clowns trade.
Really fun stuff also dick Grayson being nick fury is great .

I would definitely check out Invincible for the both of you. Saga is good but really whacky, so it depends on taste. I'd avoid the Green Lantern books unless you want to read all of them because they are constantly having crossover stories between 4 books.
Skip Age of Ultron, read Hickman's New Avengers and Avengers from the beginning if possible, not that far into New but ~17 issues into Avengers.
other stuff that's ongoing:
Hawkeye
Daredevil
Thor
Captain America
Uncanny Avengers, but it helps to have read Uncanny X-Force by Remender too
Morning Glories
Fatale
Wonder Woman on the dc front

Bendis is calling him up right now for his next talking heads comic
(and it'll be the best talking heads comic of them all!)

Maybe he's fired like Simone was "taken off" Batgirl.

Another day, another DC fiasco?
We need a big board: x days since DC last screwed with its creators
I miss having Photoshop.
That's funny, there's a typo in there. It says Jean Gray in one of the boxes instead of Grey.
That's better than the page of Hickman's New Avengers that had the Infinity Gems mislabeled two pages after they had been labeled correctly. That led to some awkward theories on our part and an apology on theirs.

I like DC comics but it's a good site lol
Haha. I remember that.
You think it's safe to assume that the remaining (missing) gem will pop back up in Infinity?

I recommend you Invincible by Kirkman/Walker/Ottley published by Image Comics. It's written by one of the creators behind The Walking Dead. From Wikipedia's introduction:
There's great action, great character development (the main character actually grows, he's not the eternal highschooler until other characters), there's a great cast, great plot twists and subvertions, no reboots at all and the best of all: dead means dead.

Walking Dead co-creator Tony Moore is going through some serious life problems right now (Bleeding Cool)
From his Facebook and Tumblr pages:

It wouldn't shock me if it did, but I don't expect it to. That'll be a plot device for a future arc.

More impressions:
Green Arrow #23 was a good read. With Lemire and Andrea this has shot up to being one of my favorite books.
Superior Spiderman was fun as usual. Cool fight with the Hobgoblin and fun ending.
Trillium was great. My book of the week so far. Cant wait to see where this goes.

Lol wut?
Seconding this.
Hah, I do remember seeing this link, but I just assumed it was a straight blog aggregating DC's screwups.
I like DC too, they just make it real tough sometimes. They're my chosen superhero universe, with DC being about a third of overall comics purchases, and non-Marvel/DC stuff being the rest.
DC editorial everybody!

Steve Lieber is killing it on Superior Foes, the writing is solid too, but damn I hope Lieber stays on for awhile.
Oh dear, DC. XD
I wonder if Kirkman was in the right about the TWD lawsuit being BS after all despite the settlement, I remember some people on various sites lambasting him as a scumbag and that Moore was the one getting cheated.
Good luck to him at any rate, I hope he takes lots of time to live a healthier life. Rob Liefeld is another person who could benefit from doing the same thing, acknowledging your shortcomings is a step towards the healing process.

Here's a trailer for the comic series "The Star Wars". Looks pretty interesting.
Thanks! Were the Pre-Infinity comics worthwhile?
Actually yes. This week's Avengers hyped up the event pretty well, that last page was amazing.

I wanted to pick up Trillium but reading too much and just picked up Collider last week, does it seem like it will have potential?

Last impressions.
Robocop Last Stand #1 was kinda meh. Will not continue with this.
Kick-Ass 3 #2 was good.
Green Lantern #23 was another solid issue. Venditti has now had 3 books that were solid but nothing special. Something has to happen soon.
Superior Foes of Spiderman #2 was fantastic. Nuff said.
Top 5 books of the week.
1. Trillium
2. Superior Foes
3. Green Arrow
4. Phantom Stranger
5. Superior Spiderman

Is Lemire getting another DC book? Doesn't he have a lot on his plate already?

That is why I brought it up. I want to know if he'll be writing a whole another ongoing and whether he'll be a leaving a book to do so.
I'm thinking of trying out that spy series Zero later this year. Kot was getting a lot of praise on Suicide Squad so that's why I noticed the series in Previews.

I would love for this to sell well enough to become it's own universe with its own continuity . Kind of like Marvel's Ultimate Universe.
It's a limited series, only 12 issues I think, so you can safely trade wait if you're unsure.

Pretty sure he's done with JLDark after Trinity War ends. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes over JLA when Kindt's MMH arc is over. At SDCC Lemire said he has big plans for J'onn next year.
eight issues, but the print ones are supposed to be special somehow. I decided to buy it monthly, but tradewait The Wake.
Anywho, am i supposed to not cancel my pre-order for JL 3000 #1 knowing it's not going to be anything like it was solicited?
They're flip books aren't they? Get halfway through and rotate it to read the other character's story?
definitely flippy, that might be all there is.
Marvel swooping in on DC's mess. Marvel always has room for good artists with all the double shipping they do.
DC keeps looking worse and worse.
Marvel seems to be pretty on the ball lately, I'm usually a DC fan but I can't agree with how they're doing things or having Didio in charge. Marvel comics overall come off more enjoyable without the train wreck aspects of DC these days.
