Drats, store had no copies of Massive left. But thankfully I had pre-ordered the #1 issue I cared most about:
It's about a guy who lands on a robotic planet.
Let me repeat that. The planet is a FUCKING ROBOT. Looking forward to reading this and giving it an 11 out of 10.
Jedeye = Brian from CSBG?
Just sat down and read Spider-Men. Solid first issue but I hope it doesn't became a generic meet and greet team up.
Also, Capullo is still KILLING IT on Batman. He's gone from this guy I used to read as a kid on Spawn and didn't think much of, to being one of my favourite Batman artists ever. He's just so good, he draws the cape and cowl in a way I've never seen done quite like that before, and it works perfectly.
Bleeding cool writing DC is putting the clamps down on creator exclusive contracts to keep them from writing creator owned books at Image/elsewhere.
Inevitable.

well I hate Smallville but stuff like this keeps me watching (if it was still a tv show, lol)

Smallville's version of Batman shows up
edit: fixed url lol
Marvel's Icon line:
Books Mark Millar is trying to get turned into movies
Brubaker's Criminal
that's....pretty much it, right? EDIT: Just remembered Bendis puts out random Scarlet and Brilliant issues.
And even then, Brubaker took Fatale to Image and Millar Jupiter's Children. Flip through Marvel's last previews and you'll see two icon issues, Brilliant #7 and Secret Service #5 of 7.
Turns out the character with him is Nightwing, and Nightwing's secret identity is...Stephanie Brown.

I reckon I could read one issue for Steph.
It is, and you've just had the shit spoiled out of it for you. Well done.

I ruined it yesterday. It's conceptually dumb enough that I don't care but Uzi, as usual, makes it sound like a dece book anyway.
So everyone saying how great it was for the last year wasn't good enough, you had to wait until the mystery was revealed to get interested? Strange way of going about it, for sure. Anything else you've not read that you'd like spoiled too? rosebud was the sled, you know, and Bruce Willis was dead all along!
After Snyder's instant classic Detective run, and his work on the ever amazing AmVamp, I don't see how anyone can doubt him, but alas different strokes, and all that.
All of that said, I'm giving the Hellboy Saga another go. I have the early Hellboy stuff (AMAZING) from ages ago in long boxes somewhere, but is there a reading order I should know about?
I loved the Mignola stuff, but when he got less and less regular, I lost track. Has he come back and drawn stuff again?
I worship Guy Davis and have an amazing Golden Age Sandman sketch in my autograph book from him that I prize.
I'm sad that Mignola doesn't do more but the level of talent seems top notch.
Going to pull out his Cosmic Odyssey and fap when I get home for old time's sake.
You'll get used to it. Sometimes I feel like running back to ComicBloc to get a shot of optimism, but then it's always back to ComicGAF for the funeral report. Seems some forget the sheer fun of comics, and look for things to hate. Not everyone, but I have a mental list.
I fucking love comics. Especially Supers comics, but all comics. Marvel and DC have been islands of wonder since I was 4 years old, and I can see them with those eyes at the drop of a hat. I think when you lose that, you criticize the sheer for-the-fuck-of-it moments, as "stupid".
You'll see the same folks over and over posting the supposed negatives from bleeding cool and other cesspools. Sort of like the Anti-life equation made flesh. :lol
Eh, when it gets to me, I just pull out an old Silver Age Legion collection, and remind myself why I read comics. No harm, no foul.
Keep on keeping on.
Keep on keeping on.
Fer sure.
I know we disagree a lot, Krypt0, but at least we both still love this shit, mayne.
Oh MAN.
Hulk?? Hulk got.FUCKING HAMMERHEAD SHARKS SHOT AT HIM FROM A CANNON
Aaron wins.
AARON WINS!!!
My shop had a noticeably large stack. Usually they'll have 3-4 copies of a new series, maybe. They were already out of Dancer and I got the last copies of Planetoid and The Strain. They had literally like 15+ copies of The Massive. It was kinda weird, never saw that many copies of one comic there, especially a new series.I hate you guys. You convinced me to grab The Massive (the shop is next door to the Darkhorse HQ so they had tons) and Batman Vol. 1.
People are hatin' on this book, but for me, it's the most fun shit on the stands. I loved issue 8I lost my shit when Hulk yellet at Punisher to shoot him in the face
A bit further down theres a $70 equivalent for 2 books internationally shipped too.Pledge $60 or more. 54 Backers.
SLUGGER REWARD: Two copies of Sullivan's Sluggers 200 page Hardcover. Downloadable PDF of Sullivan's Sluggers. International Orders please add $10.
Ya, it's been exciting to watch! I'm so happy it's got a slipcase, and really great that they are donating the excess to charity. At $30 for a omnibus hardcover with slipcase and ribbon bookmark, I can't imagine they are making profit.
I see. The only omnibus hardcover with slipcase I have is The Sword, which I think was MSRP $100 or so, but then it was like 6-700 pages.Actually...i think it shows how expensive Absolute/DC/Marvel books are. Dark Horse put out an almost absolute sized Buffy vol 1 collecting the first 12 or so issues, ribbon bookmark but no slipcase. MSRP: $29.99
