Spoilers. In the age of digital comics, they are increasingly becoming an issue in these threads, as the drive to be first to discuss the week's releases overrides common sense and good posting etiquette. So over the coming weeks and months, the members of Comic GAF will be collaborating on and will eventually be implementing a system of general rules for avoiding spoilers on new comics in the Comics OT thread. But for now, please abide by the temporary guidelines outlined below. And remember, you are being watched and judged by your peers.

1. Discussion of newly released comics that involves specific plot details shall be accompanied at all times by the appropriate use of the
tag function.
2. Direct posting of full-page images from newly released comics using the tags is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
3. Direct posting of images or spoilers from comics that have yet to be released is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
4. Covers, solicitation copy, and/or promotional materials shall not be considered spoilers and are allowed, unless their content involves specific plot details; in those cases, outgoing links with spoiler warnings should be used.
5. The unmarked posting of spoilers related to comics will be allowed after a period of one week (Wednesday to Wednesday) from that comic's release.[/b] ([u]NOTE:[/u] Longer? -Spike)
[b]6. Members of Comic GAF are expected at all times to exercise common sense and polite discretion as a matter of courtesy to fellow posters. I know, tough one.
7. If you are unsure of whether or not posting something would constitute a spoiler, err on the side of caution and use the [SPOILER] tags.[/b]

In short, don't be Stephanie Brown. Don't be... The Spoiler. For one thing, you can't pull off purple.

Happy reading!

oh hey I just remembered: Original Sin's tie-ins retconned post-WW2 Dum Dum as an LMD Old Fury made to talk him out of doing the Real Bad Fucked Up Nasty Shit, which he then blew up because Old Fury can't afford to give a fuck he needs to save the universe.

And now LMD Dum-Dum's being revived as for the upcoming Howling Commandos book, which is actually pretty frickin' awesome compared to that retcon.

I still long for the day when Jim "The Badass" Steranko returns to write a 60's Fury solo book adventure. Marvel then can use Ultimate Fury for modern day.

I imagine ANAD has undone that.

Christ that sounds bad.

And now Dum-Dum's being revived as a zombie for the upcoming Howling Commandos book, which is actually pretty frickin' awesome compared to that retcon.

Is that what they're doing? Weird. He's Clint's handler in New Avengers, too.

So that's interesting.

Wait, my bad. He's still LMD Dugan actually. He's going to be leading a team of monsters for SHIELD and that's pretty cool.

I miss the original Dum Dum though. :(

I might actually grab all of Gotham Central this week. $40 is a pretty solid deal.

Yeah, just knowing it's not him is a little eh.
 
That there OP is a major diss on Valiant and Mignolaverse. Shameful behaviour, really.

'd also say it's anti-Avatar Press, but eh. or not. Seems Spurrier picked up writing duties for Crossed 100 after Alan Moore, whose ishs are collected in a trade released this month. Moore's also writing a book called Providence for them. Standard horror fare, it seems.
one of the variants seemed to be some sort of vagina monster.

Also Gillen going for that Liefeld demo

Tokyo Ghost this month!! :O I just listened to the 11 O'Clock comics episode with Rick Remender over the weekend and I'm now more excited than ever to read it.

I'm gonna listen to this episode.

It's very good and enlightening! I recently dropped iFanboy in favor of 11 O'clock Comics. Just felt like it was the same repetitive stuff on iFanboy, while my biggest complaint about 11 o'clock comics has always been the length of the episodes. So now I just dedicate a day where I only listen to that podcast.

Yeah I am enjoying this. He seems really nice and genuine. I only listen to Talking Comics but I am falling out of love with that show.
 
No wall of shame? For shame

What do the posting analysts say about the cause of the post count drop?

- Loss of investor confidence in Sinister Silk.
- Kipp took his investment portfolio and moved it to commodities (figures).
- The market had previously been Bullish on Valiant without really looking at the P/E. This is just the correction.
