Man, its only been a year since they changed up the x-titles rosters. They need to make up their minds.

On a separate note, can anyone explain this to me?: Im pretty sure its just Bendis but, what the fuck is up with him always saying "The hell is going on?" or crap like that? Am I wrong that its normally "What the hell...?" Its a little thing but it annoys me.

I've asked before, but does anyone read Squadron Supreme? I still think its my favorite book.

7/13/2006 11:38:14 PM

i'm about to stop buying again

i want something to the level of "new frontiers" or at least someone pretending to draw golden age stuff

i mean i'm gonna finish out alex ross' "justice"

but jesus

i don't care about your x men...you haven't done shit to change civil rights since the 70s

7/13/2006 11:57:51 PM

^^ Squadron Supreme is one of my favorites.

7/14/2006 9:14:41 AM

You should start buying The Escapists, Mark. It's a limited series from Dark Horse that continues The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Klay. The first issue came out Wednesday with a cover price of $1.00. It will be a monthly title running for six issues.

I finally got to read the latest trade of Fables. Total letdown

You know when there are filler comics between arcs in a series? Well this one felt like a trade of filler.

7/14/2006 9:58:13 AM

Aw, don't feel too bad. Many trades these days are full of filler material! Publishers, recognizing the greater value of today's reprint market, pressure editors to generate collectible "runs" in their series, which leads to editors pressuring writers to "write for the trade." That's where all this "decompressed storytelling" shit comes from.

7/14/2006 10:04:09 AM

You're not helping me out here.

[Edited on July 14, 2006 at 10:12 AM. Reason : Now I have to wait 6 more fucking months.]

7/14/2006 10:11:46 AM

I'd like to see a widespread return of the single-issue story, myself. Did you read this month's Detective? It was fucking beautiful.

In the past, stories between more collectible arcs in which important events happened would often be collected with other issues from separate series and stuff to lend context to a larger arc wherein crossover occurred. Going back to single-issue stories as the rule instead of the exception wouldn't necessarily cheat us out of following significant events through reprints.

7/14/2006 10:16:11 AM

i'd be happy if they went back to having the story only be told in one book instead of across a dozen fucking titles

Did you read the Supreme Power: Hyperion mini? That was pretty darn good, especially the first 2 books. It really lays everything down for the skeleton of the S.S series and it introduces a ton of chars that star in the S.S books.

7/14/2006 3:48:16 PM

Second Issue updated!

7/16/2006 7:48:17 PM

^ I really like Silver Surfer, I have since I was 11. However I can't allow myself to get into this whole "Annhilation" thing. It just seems like a waste of money.

7/16/2006 8:31:36 PM

I love this series.

7/16/2006 8:57:11 PM

i had to sell issues 1-20 back in october to help pay for a ticket

got about $140 on ebay

7/16/2006 9:53:46 PM

OH FUCK ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN IS DOING A CLONE SAGA

7/17/2006 1:38:39 PM

For real? That's got to be the stupidest shit I've ever heard. I've got all the hardcover collections to date, and I probably won't get anymore if they go through with that.

7/17/2006 4:12:30 PM

7/17/2006 8:12:15 PM

but the twist is that the scorpion is a peter clone now!!!!



oooooooo!!!!!

7/17/2006 8:40:06 PM

Havent they learned from the first Spideman Clone arc and Star Wars clone shoddy monstrosity that anything with "clone" is crap?

7/25/2006 10:52:56 PM

While I'm geeking out on all things Kirkman, would someone tell me of Battle Pope is worth looking at beyond it's awesome title and catchprase("When he's not leading mass, he's kicking ass.")?

7/26/2006 12:26:28 PM

Read about this week's picks at Second Issue!

7/26/2006 10:25:22 PM

I read Black Hole today and really liked it.

7/26/2006 11:05:27 PM

Battle Pope is fun for a laugh but I quit after issue 3

7/27/2006 2:39:50 AM

Also, is anyone checking out Black Gas or Tag? Indie horror books rule!

Second Issue briefly examines a burning issue that threatens to tear the comic-buying community apart! Follow the link to shock, awe, and controversy!

7/28/2006 8:10:53 PM

i'm wondering when spider-man is going to switch sides

7/28/2006 8:59:39 PM

^ Not too long from now. Issue #534 is good, albeit short.

Everyone knows registration is one big government conspiracy right?

7/28/2006 9:28:23 PM

poop
i just got around to getting my books today and batman was sold out
should i search it out frosh?

7/28/2006 9:46:02 PM

cerebral hobbies has a few comic books. one seemed interesting to me. i just bought the venom sage spiderman cartoon (with the techno intro) and it introduced several spiderman characters that i didn't know well or had forgot about. i got it because i liked the spiderman movies and the cartoon when i was younger... i i've heard the 3rd movie will have venom (although i've avoided learning much about it). the comic had several of those characters, so i'm thinking of buying it or waiting for the graphic novel. anyways i say all this because cerebral hobbies in chapel hill is closing after the 30th and just increased its discount.

Nothing really happens, which means Morrison is writing for the trade, so you could wait for the trade. I'm almost certain there'll be a second printing, too.

7/29/2006 12:14:27 PM

SHOT IN THE FUCKING FACE AND THEY DONT EVEN CARE

7/29/2006 12:50:54 PM

i liked the first couple of 1 year later issues of nightwing
you were right though
this last one blows chunks

and runaways/young avengers was really good
i didnt know they killed her off, but im glad they did. she was part of the reason i quit getting the comic

7/29/2006 6:40:05 PM

She got killed in the last issue of Runaways.

Whatever happened to spawn that was an awesome t.v show, so what about the comics?

8/1/2006 1:05:19 AM

Around issue 50 of Spawn, it became clear to me that McF had no plans to resolve a single storyline. So I dropped it. That was about 9 years ago, give or take. Apparantly, it's still on the shelves and does pretty well for Image. If that means it does better than Invincible, then that's criminal.

8/1/2006 9:50:35 AM

I collect everything... but the one thing I dont have many of is Comic Books... so

I went and bought about 20 different ones (first issue of TMNT, some Xmen, spiderman, etc)

I have been reading and enjoying them... if anyone has any they want to sell pm me please...

I am looking for some very rare because not many people probably played with the toys, Bucky O'Hare comics, please let me know if you have any...

Fucking awesome, spawn never dies, LITERALLLLLLLY

8/2/2006 1:51:43 AM

The last chapter of Brubaker's first Daredevil arc is out today, by the way. If you haven't been reading Daredevil, you're a class A fool.

8/2/2006 9:34:48 AM

ummm no daredevil came out today

8/2/2006 1:31:36 PM

Oops. Was it last week then? I haven't been to the shop for a while. Either way, I know I get a new one when I get there today.
