It won't. Star Wars just isn't as popular these days, and I doubt it will be until marketing for Episode VII starts to ramp up. But Dark Horse has always had a hard time putting good creative teams together for their Star Wars books. Most of them just feel like filler. Legacy, Knights of the Old Republic, and the current Star Wars ongoing are mostly the only ones I really liked.

Read the new Cable & X-Force and Superior Spider-Man last night. Thoroughly enjoying Superior, the art is great and every issue has been good fun. Cable & X-Force was good too; should have seen the twist coming haha..

If Star Wars isn't Ostrander/Duresema, it's a hard pass.

Picked up and read Trillium last night. Wow, what a start. Love Jeff's art style; it's cool to see him tackling two very different environments. Both chapters reminded me of Uncharted and Prometheus. Can't wait for the next installment!
I'M CUMMING.
Finally sat down and read #1-5 of the new SW Legacy series:
I was extremely skeptical since no Ostrander, hence why I didn't read any of the issues yet when they came out, but boy was I surprised. I certainly didn't expect to read them all in a single sitting. Great great stuff, and it's instantly one of my favorite Star Wars series ever, and I've been reading SW comics the early 90's Dark Empire days. It really is written as a sequel to the original trilogy, and it's very rare to see a SW comic book blend the dialogue, story beats and overall plotting that are characteristic of the original movies to the comic book medium so well. Can't recommend this enough, check it out!

Should I check out FF if I never read it, before?

On that high recommend, I'll give it a shot. I've been ignoring SW comics since Wood's boring misfire so this would be a great relief.

FF #17 is a must read. It's preferable to have read the series but it works as a standalone issue.
Yes but I'd recommend starting with the Hickman fantastic four omnibus out in October since ff is the second half of that idea alongside more fantastic four.

Fuxking pathetic. Someone needs to reign these fuxking editors in. They are effecting artist now. So fucking pathetic.
Rich said JL3000 is being reworked now too.
Hawkeye vol 2 was the top selling trade in July. Feels good. DC dominated the top 10 issues.

NOW IN COLOR . I must say Stegman's Green Goblin is fantastic !
So I am looking to get back into comics. I bought a few issues on my phone after looking up which series are really good since N52 and Marvel Now.
So far I have bought; JL 1 and 2, Batman 1 and 2, Aquaman 1 (wow, that was great), WW #1, and Action Comics 1.
I think though that I will just start buying the volumes of these series off the kindle app. I prefer the comixology app though.
From what I read Thor, Hulk, and X Men are really good right now. How are Iron Man, Captain America, and Avenger series? Any recommendations?

GAF likes Captain America. Def. read Daredevil by Mark Waid and Hawkeye (aka Hawkguy), two of Marvel's best books atm.
DC needs to bring back B'Wana Beast. Reintroduce him in Animal Man (it'd actually make a lot of sense with the current Splinterfolk arc) and bring back Djuba and the Beast!

Howard Porter on JL3K to replace Maguire and it's been bumped to December. Maguire is seemingly staying with DC.

I'm doing my quarterly amazon artbook/trade paperback binge. How is Mouse Guard? Besides being incredibly adorable, does it tell a good story?
I might as well post my order:
Luther Strode (never heard of it until the Image movie thread)
Saga v2
Passed on Mouse Guard but I can always make a second order.
Maybe I should get Punk Rock Jesus? The art looks fantastic.

What a down grade
How is it a no-brainer when you have to fire the guy you already gave the job to and solicited the book with? That superman hair.....

I'm so on the fence about double dipping.
I kind of wish marvel added a digital copy with every omni, not just the shit ones, that would make things easier.

I hope it's better than his JLA run. I always thought that was a week point for Morrison's run on it.

Yup Porter's art didnt age well in his jla run with morrison but i believe his art improved during his flash run with geoff johns.
The omnibus/oversized hardcover is the final form of a comic, i tend to stick with them.

NOOOO. Fuck, Brett Booth stinks. How do you go from Jae Lee to Booth? It's like going from Opena to Toccini in Uncanny X-Force.
I wish DC would add digital copies, period. It'd be nice to also have a digital edition of my beautiful Animal Man omnibus.

Begs the question: Who do you get to sub on a New 52 title when Keith Giffen is already working on it?
Fucking in awe of these.
That first volume of Luther Strode is really great. Love me some Tradd Moore.
The article says Booth and Lee will work on alternating arcs. I'd rather have that then one fill-in issue to a three-part arc.

I would sacrifice Didio to the elder gods for the chance to have Stegman draw every issue of one series.
