Is Supes Earth 1 any good?
Also, was this single comics originally? It says a volume 3 is in production? Are they collecting issues or are they only releasing content in a volume?

the Earth 1 books are released by volume in graphic novel format

I like it. Earth One books have been released directly as hardcovers/trades everytime.
It's all done in graphic novel/tpb-sized volumes. No single issue releases.

Answered already, but I'll chime in and say that the Earth One books I've read, including the one you asked about, have been bad to mediocre.

I've been saying that for years, welcome to the club!
I did the KS that was from a few months ago and am expecting my hardcovers to arrive in like 2 months time XP

Hmm kinda tired of Saga winning everything every time.
Its always a very enjoyable but There are better series and it seems to win everything because it's so popular.

How is Splatoon these days? Saw it was on sale at Best Buy and was thinking of grabbing it.
Yeah, I like it enough (and recognize it appeals to others a lot more than it does to me), but spread the wealth.

Or maybe it wins because it is really good?

With all the no name stuff on those lists of course the judges would vote for the one thing they recognize.

It's not that good.
Speaking of things that aren't that good, reading Batgirl of Burnside and the first villain is suuuuuuuper clumsily written. I get that its supposed to be about privacy, but damn this guy is flat. Like the 2015 equivalent of a Captain Planet villain. Art is solid though.

Yeah, I gotta say, looking at the Best Ongoing/Limited category, Afterlife with Archie, Southern Bastards, and The Valiant excite me a whole lot more than Saga does. But that's just me. (And I haven't been keeping up on my Daredevil)
Yeah, you better put that imo there.
I think Sunstone is in this weird category area where it couldn't be nominated, else that should have taken home some awards.

Maybe it's from all the hype but Grayson is pretty underwhelming so far.

It's just a fun romp at first. I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan until the latest issue. I do think it gets progressively better, though.

Basically my reaction when I started. Gets better over time, though, and this latest issue is out of this world amazing.

Probably the best single issue from the Big 2 released this year. I could probably qualify that some more, but it was seriously just amazing.
I've read the first two volumes of Superman Earth One, i'd skip them, very dull Superman stuff.

Ok, done. I was just looking because I didn't think volume 1 of batman was that bad.

Not even spread the wealth. It's more like allocate the wealth appropriately. I don't think Saga is better than other series. And that's not a slight against Saga. This isn't like when Alan Moore was winning everything in sight. He was right to win all those awards back then.
ha I've got nothing mean to say here. I've got legit criticisms of a series that I enjoy. Just because I enjoy or even love a series doesn't mean I can't point outits flaws or poke holes in its reception.
I would strongly disagree with the assertion that Saga is good enough to win over and over again.
Saga is BKV on autopilot.

And I could post a set of panels from Afterlife that would blow you away, but I think it's kind of spoilery.
Besides, can you even say Valiant is that underground anymore when Book of Death #1 has sold over 70k copies lol

Just finished MGS V. *salutes* awesome.
The game is similar to my favorite JRPG Xenogears. It has a disc 2 syndrome where clearly Konami showed up and said release it. But even with that I loved it. My GOTY so far and #3 favorite Game in the series.

Definitely. Episode 51's omission was really odd.

Book of Death #1 was in a couple of subscription boxes IIRC, so 70K isn't that good.

Whenever people talk about how Superman isn't an interesting character, that's the book I recommend
So, after posting this, I actually went to Baltimore Comic Con for the day. And among other things... I did indeed grab a tiny bit more Valiant. Got Archer & Armstrong Vol 1, and Quantum & Woody Vol. 1 (which was literally like $2). So we'll see how I like those.
Actually got a pretty good haul in general. Almost all of the rest of Invincible Iron Man I needed, two of the five Lucifer trades, a BPRD Plague of Frogs, and my personal happiest find that I missed till RIGHT when I was about to leave: Usagi Yojimbo Saga 2-4 for $10 a pop! Oh, and a nice little stack of cheap manga that filled in some gaps that I needed to fill (including My Hero Academia, yay!)
Oh, and I actually brought along my Usagi Yojimbo Saga 1 and had Stan Sakai sign it. He seemed super cool, and even did a neat little Usagi sketch along with the signature! I half considered going back with those other Sagas when I bought them but I was happy with what he signed already. And I considered lugging my Don Rosa big old hardcover boxset thing, but as I was already lugging the Usagi Yojimbo and knew I would be buying stuff in all likelihood, I opted out of that. Honestly felt I was right in also thinking that I may not have been a "big enough fan", since I've only read that hardcover as far as Duck stuff goes, at least so far.

Good pick-ups m8. I am saddened that none of these creators came to my con because they were in Baltimore this weekend.

Finished up Whedon's Astonishing X-Men last night. Fantastic. Very emotional ending. Some really badass stuff going on. Another of my favorites.
Also started reading War of Kings. Only issue so far is that Crystal is drawn in such a way that apparently she's constantly ready to take it.

I can be at times but having all these new comics to read gives me an easy reason to be lazy.

Marvel should OVA's of certain runs on their books. Astonishing could be a four episode OVA.
Just don't do it anime style.
Actually, all comic companies should do that. Or give me more animated series.
I really need a good comic animated series to come out, now.

Woot, so pleased to see Rachel Rising recognized at the Harvey's. Lumberjanes is that solid, huh? Good to know. Nice to see Six Gun Gorilla and Mouse Guard with nominations. Bitch Planet nominated for best new series? Interesting. I haven't loved Deconnicks writing, though I've really tried (Pretty Deadly, Captain Marvel). Is Bitch Planet legit good? Dark Horse Presents is so, so good. I miss it, but I just can't keep up. Looks like gaf-fav Valiant got props via multiple noms. Nice.

They did a motion comic of all of Astonishing. There was also Iron Man: Extremis and a Spider-Woman mini. They're not great.
Also, if any future ones are like the recent DC movies, they can keep them.
