As long as they bring it to its natural conclusion at the right time. If they drag it on for too long, shit is going to get goofy.

Wait, did that come out yet?

oh, I was almost super-jelly.
Also, is DC going to go the dust-jacketless route for their basic hardcovers like Marvel did? I was in Barnes & Noble today and noticed Batman 66' was the same format as Marvel's NOW hardcovers.

Bloodspell is this month???
OMG FINALLY.
OMG FINALLY.
The Bloodspell hardcover is all fishnetty
That looks cool as hell, can't wait to get my copy.

I tend to take dust jackets off while I'm reading, otherwise the jacket always slides off anyway. The new Marvel hardcover format is definitely better.

I have had Bloodspell preordered on Amazon since Oct. 30th. I just check to see if I still had it ordered.

Wait for IST. Amazon pricing isn't as great as it was before they started charging tax. Those were the glory days.
That would be amazing. I hate dust jackets so much.

They are a waste of paper, and clumsy and a hassle. I've always wondered if it's actually cheaper, however, than doing textbook-type covers or the fancier cloth hardcovers. That's the only thing that's ever made sense to me. It boggles my mind how dust jackets could be aesthetically preferred.

I'm sort of a comic newbie so be gently; but I remember reading some remarks from BKV stating how it's insane that people develop a story without a first, second, and third act. Now I've only read Y: from him, but I thought that did a pretty solid job. I know the ending is polarizing - but I was able to swallow it. I've only gone through the first volume of Ex Machina, but I'm not feeling that book like I did Y - but it feels clear that there is a beginning, middle, and end.

Still reading but man I have dropped several books in preference of trade waiting instead.
Regardless though, Day One for Rucka's Cyclops. I'll probably go for the baby variant cover as it was my phone's wallpaper for a while.

It really is. Fun adventures with a great group of heroes and a Modok. It's well written and the art is rad, and it's the only Avengers book I read.
Now that I think about it...it is the only Avengers book I read also.

I'm still playing catch up on the previous run but am really looking forward to starting this. Looks like fun.

Need to grab Secret Avengers #2 but I loved #1 of the "reboot" as the art and storytelling is much better than the previous run.
It fit more in line with Hawkeye for me, which is probably why I like this version more.

Bought the humble bundle, which has rekindled my love of comics. I noticed that the comixology app seems to be more expensive than the Kindle store in terms of pricing. Are there advantages to buying in one app vs the other?

Ahhh thank you! It's supposed to come out May 14th! Hopefully I don't let you down D:
You can't buy in the Comixology app anymore because Eric killed it...

Wait, is Bee and Puppycat seriously coming out so soon?
Oh. My gosh.
ALL OF MY MONEY. ALL OF IT. OMG.
YESSSSSSSSSSH.
Puppycat and Steven Universe will be my first "every month on release day" comics. >.>
The Comixology App has a guided view feature which provides a better reading experiences on tablets and phones. Amazon bought Comixology for a reason and guided view is probably one of the main ones.
Oh, I wish I could burn the APP to the ground!

Yeah man! I just checked with Frederator and they're confirming the May 14th release date! (Boom's site still just says "May" though, get on that guys). I still haven't seen the finished book (waiting for my comps I guess?) but the couple pages I have seen look so beautiful @_@

Delays don't bother me too much. Hellboy in Hell issues have months between issues and they are still amazing.

Digital comics are so amazing, seriously.
I've been moving for the past few weeks and it's insanely convenient to just read things on my phone while I'm in bed or something.

I can still buy stuff in the Android app.
I just wanted to slap Eric. You know he gets free digital issues? Well he does.

I'm 95% digital with the rare TPB of my favorite stuff, but a phone? That would drive me crazy. I guess guided view mode would mitigate the tiny screen somewhat, but tablet or bust!
I'm on a Nexus 7 and honestly wish I had the Nexus 10 just for comics.
Grizzlies are going down tonight, Pacers fighting for their comics-reading nba lives.
Hawkeye #18 - i don't enjoy reading this book monthly anymore and barely have an opinion of it outside of disappointment in both its release schedule and how the book has been put out. I can barely remember what is going on anymore apart from Kate getting mad at Clint and moving to L.A. and lots of bro people wanting to kill Hawkeye. 18 issues with so very little of a lasting impact from reading it outside the novelty of a pizza dog.
This would make for a much better omnibus, but even then i don't feel like enough has happened to fill those 18 issues.

I literally just said that last sentence to my girlfriend after reading a comic on my Nexus 7. I love the Native Guided View comics. That said, I need a larger tablet.

I think the book lost its groove during the Kate arc. It was fine when she was dealing with (or being dealt with by) Madame Masque, but the private eye stuff got boring quick.

Re-reading More than meets the eye and I'm just about done with Vol. 3.
Series is timeless to me and I love re-reading it.
I find it funny how
Ironfist has an actual lifesize model of Delta Magnus A lifesized model of an actual Cybertronian who is twice Ironfist's size
Dude had such a hobby

You guys really need to get in on this series already.
It's not ganke... Just a wild guess.
I feel the exact opposite. The only fun and enjoyment I'm getting out of the book is coming from the Kate issues. I've lost all interest in Clint and have actually forgotten what his story even is bar the end of the last Clint issue.

Guided view is amazing, so I don't mind the small screen. I do want to get a tablet sometime this year mainly for comics but at the moment I've just got my phone.
My books that aren't on comixology are a pain in the ass to read though. Not crazy about the Dark Horse reader or the CBR reader I'm using for that Image bundle.

Southern Bastards is going to be special. The first issue did a good job building up the setting.
