Oh, man, I love The Odyssey and all the different forms it takes in modern literature. Infinite Horizon was a great take on it in comic form, so I'm most excited about this Fraction joint!

AAron/Latour
a "big cursing sized hole in his writing heart for a long time" which will be filled with the series "Southern Bastards" with artist Jason Latour. "Peple say write what you know...this is waht I know," the writer said. Aaron grew up in Alabama so "This is the book I was meant to write in a very sad, dark way."
so much for the Marvel Arctitects. 4/5 of AvX is at image now.

The writer said "Souther Bastards" is "about a lot of southern bastards." He's creating his own world filled with colorful characters and is planning on doing terrible things to them for many years. Latour joined his writer on stage and called the book "The Untouchables versus Boss Hog" or "The Dukes of Hazard by the Coen Bros on meth."
Guess I'm buying a lot more Image Comics in the future

You guys, Image is taking over the industry
Comixology has nothing to fear from Image going DRM free because what they sell, along with comics, is the convenience of having all your library anywhere you'd want it with little to no effort. It's pretty much the iTunes model, and that works.

This. Image doing this is nice and all, but ComiX has this shit on lock right now.
Competition is good though, and maybe we'll see some changes down the road.

Image putting the Big Two on notice. Lots of interesting stuff coming from them. DRM-free digital sounds amazing if they can make it work.

Get back to me when I actually own my digital content. Until then fuck off.
A step in the right direction though.

From now on, all of Image’s digital comics come with PDF, ePub, CBR and a CBZ file which is a game changer to say the least, as you now actually own the digital comic that you purchase, DRM-Free. This is decidedly different from Comixology, where you can only access the comic through their app, and basically adds a brand new revolution to the strange digital comics game that is always evolving one step at a time.
This, though? This is like a whole jump. The big issue of digital comics was that you’d pay for something that you could only access in a specific way, and one that you could lose at the drop of a hat (or a cloud). Image, forever trying to put the power in the hands of the people they serve, is literally putting the power in the hand sof the people they serve with this move — and it’s kind of astonishing to see this happen from the publisher.
They might as well do this.
Just like the music industry, piracy is so damn easy, to compete with the pirates you have to offer a similar service.

Well, if the B-list characters are cool, then it's ok. I was merely intrigued of the thought of a world without Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman. And I remember reading somewhere, that Lex Luthor doesn't mess around in this arc. Also, how weird/trippy Grant Morrison gets in this?

Yeah Image has 4 different no-DRM formats for their digital comics now. But without a decent reader out there then what's the point?
What's wrong with CDisplayEx?

It's been sometime since I've read it but there are some big cosmic moments in it, not so trippy though IIRC.

Dude, it's got the Question--he ain't B-list, he's S-list! I need to reread it but it wasn't really too trippy and was a really interesting and solid experiment in storytelling.
Countdown, its sequel, I actually loved a ton because of the Pied Piper/Trickster stuff. Man, I need to reread those two!

A huge part of piracy is simply the convenience. I don't have to go through this digital middle man, log into my account, transfer money into Apple iBucks or whatever; I can just click this Mediafire button right here, download it, it's on my harddrive in 10 seconds. I can read it, copy it, flip it upside down, whatever.
Piracy is never going away. That's the reality of the situation, and putting more locks on the door just encourages more people to find another way around. When you give people a more convenient way to get to your products, they're more likely to pay for the products.

Remender teased a western with Tony Moore a while back. I want that instead. Everything sounds good, but why is everything so dark and gritty? Where are the fun books? Im going to change that brahs.

Along with New Avengers, I just finished Doctor Strange Season One. I really want to read more about the character, can anyone recommend me some trades?

I'm late on this, but my current pull list (including some upcoming stuff) is:
Marvel
Avengers
Captain Marvel
New Avengers
X-Men
Young Avengers
DC
Batgirl
Batwoman
The Movement
Image
Saga
Dynamite
Gail Simone's Red Sonja
Boom Studios
Adventure Time
Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake
Adventure Time: Candy Capers
Regular Show
IDW
Dinosaurs Attack
Ghostbusters
TMNT New Animated Adventures
Archie
Mega Man
Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic Universe
I've been thinking about adding in Nightwing, IDW's Ninja Turtles and whatever's left of JiM (still irritated about its canning), but yeah. It's a hell of a lot more books than I thought I'd be following when I started.

Black science looks sick!!!
I loved it, pretty much what decided some of my DC favorites like Booster Gold and Black Adam. DC needs more events that focus on B/C listers.
Haven't read it yet, but this is supposedly really good.

It piqued my interest instantly, because -for reasons unknown- I'm a sucker for huge omnibuses like this and also because I have a man-crush on Greg Rucka and Mark Waid
I love 52 but you should read Gotham Central first if you haven't already. 52 directly carries on from where Renee Montoya's story left off.

Oh, one other thing I've just remembered. It might help if you've read Morrison's run on Animal Man.

When are they going to bring Nightcrawler back? I miss him. Magik sucks and has lame porting powers.
Or maybe Blink...

Just caught up on all the Image talk. Dang, they've got me with three books, at least.
Does this mean Remender is leaving Marvel? Dude has been slaying it over there.
Add in Saga and I'll have more Image titles than big two stuff. Never thought that would happen.

Of course not. Writers take on multiple projects all the time just look at Jonathan Hickman.
I don't know anyone that actually likes her. She's such a dull character.

Once she told Colossus she wasn't "snowflake" once and for all (post Phoenix Five) I think her usefulness came to an end.
