Four of the second-wave new 52 books in one week?
So now week 1 we have batwing, stormwatch, animal man, swamp thing, dial h, earth 2, world's finest, and GI combat. this is gonna be expensive if the new books turn out good. Best week of the month confirmed.

[NEO0MJ]

WTF happened to PG's window?

No really, what's the story behind her new design?

[SpiderJerusalem]

boobs are sexist
or something, idk

It's kind of maddening, but 4 of the canceled New 52 titles those are replacing were from week 1, so if you were the sap that was reading Hawk and Dove, Static Shock, OMAC (RIP) and Men of War, you're really still picking up the same number of books.

Ah. i see. Somehow I just assumed the cancellations were more evenly distributed.


God, I know that GI Combat will probably suck, but I can't help myself because dinosaurs. And of course I have to buy Batman Inc. At least it's impossible for ravagers to tempt me.

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Transferred from the April Thread (since it's already May somewhere when I posted).


Let's see what did I buy off of Comixology today.

GI Joe A Real American Hero 160 and 161 (I have a lot of catching up).
S.H.I.E.L.D 1-3
Batman #1 -I'll admit cursoriness is making me check out these relaunches.
Captain America 1-3 (99 cent sale)
Punisher 7 (though 2.99 for 22 pages can go fuck itself). Screw it maybe some other time.
The Activity 1
Ghost Projekt 2Eh, I'll get it in a few days

I have to admit I've never really been into Superheroes in the traditional sense, but ah fuck it I'll give a few a try. I'd buy The Boys, but I'm not reading that on the train I love Garth Ennis, but lord knows what will pop up. lol

That said I have no clue what the hell is what because there seem to be 400 different variations, it's confusing (well on the Marvel side at least).
.....

Okay I was shitting on Marvel, but after reading the Chronology backlist they publish for free. It's not as bad.

Liked the new 52 Batman #1, though the way people are drawn...eh not in love. Writting is good so far. Like the overlap of the speech and opening fight.

[parrotbeak]

I can't wait for the new issue of the Boys. And that is all on my pull list this week. Yay wallet!

[Face it Tiger..]

Why's DC only in the OP?

[notworksafe]

Why's DC only in the OP?

Because I don't get off work for another 2.5 hours.

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

I can't wait for the new issue of the Boys. And that is all on my pull list this week. Yay wallet!

I really should get it, since the series is wrapping up, but where to read it? lol

[tm24]

I forgot Dial H is this week. Need to add to pull list. Cant wait for this week

[parrotbeak]

I really should get it, since the series is wrapping up, but where to read it? lol

Do people really read over your shoulder on the train? If so they get what they deserve!

But ya, The Boys gets pretty graphic. And the shit is really coming down now.

[krypt0nian]

Why's DC only in the OP?

Because AvX got them banned from the thread.

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Do people really read over your shoulder on the train? If so they get what they deserve!

It depends which train I catch in the morning (later=less) or when I leave later on, but yeah it can happen. At least it's better than the NYC subway or PATH train. People don't even try and hide it. Really annoying. I mean they deserve what they get, but I don't want to deal with someone bitching or being snide.

But ya, The Boys gets pretty graphic. And the shit is really coming down now.

Yeah, I mean you can never tell what's about to happen. Titties or a head on a pike might pop up without warning.

[Satch]

Because AvX got them banned from the thread.

lmao

[notworksafe]

Because AvX got them banned from the thread.

-_-

I'm about to pull a Satchwar and take a break until Marvel comes up with a good crossover. I'd be gone forever.

Friendly reminder that Chris Samnee Daredevil comes out this week

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Because I don't get off work for another 2.5 hours.

Does anyone do IDW/DH and some of the other minors?

If people want (and give me access to the release sheets) I'd be happy to do them.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Don't forget Mind The Gap and X-O Manowar.

[MightyKAC]

I've really been meaning to get into some Daredevil recently. Can anyone suggest a good RECENT starting point?

[notworksafe]

No one does but you're awesome for volunteering! I usually grab releases from http://www.previewsworld.com/shipping/newreleases.txt. It auto updates every Monday with the newest stuff.

http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Vol-.../dp/0785152377

Current run is only twelve issues in, hardcover collects the first six. EXTREMELY easy to get into and highly enjoyable.

Oh cool I can do that. I man if someone can help with formatting (pub logo) and (maybe) covers, I don't mind doing the rest. Granted it will be slight biased to my own tastes lol

But yeah I'd be happy to do it. Especially IDW Larry Hama's GI JOE always deserves more love!

[BlueScrote]

Transformers #80.5 (IDW Entertainment) Dinosaurs Versus Aliens (Liquid Comics) Atomic Robo & Friends (Red 5 Comics) Jurassic Strikeforce 5 (Zenescope Entertainment) Spider-Man Season One (Marvel Comics)

What interests me on FCBD.

[Angelus Errare]

PeeGee's new costume is....ugly as shit. I don't care about her window, but damn could they put some thought into her design.

[parrotbeak]

I've never gone to a free comic book day in my life. Comic shop is near work but far from home and I never felt like it was worth the drive.

[lunch]

Whoa, didn't know Free Comic Book Day was soon. Here's hoping my comic store has a copy of the Censored Howard Cruse.

And completely forgot about Dial H; will have to pick that up.

[ViewtifulJC]

Maybe it's just Perez. He makes everything look ugly.

[ElNarez]

Guys, don't forget DAT GARTH ENNIS FURY MAX. Shit's gonna rule.

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Guys, don't forget DAT GARTH ENNIS FURY MAX. Shit's gonna rule.

Wait, when is that? Someone mentioned it, but I thought that was like down the road!

[krypt0nian]

I have high hopes for the Journey Into Mystery/New Mutants event. :D

IT IS THIS WEEK.

Any chance it's digital too...or am I actually going to have to buy one comic. Luckily I work a block or two from Jim Hanely in NYC.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Is there a limit to the FCBD titles you can get?

[SpiderJerusalem]

Oh! New Black Wido..w

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Is there a limit to the FCBD titles you can get?

My comic store only allows 5 books.

[LiQuid!]

Is there a limit to the FCBD titles you can get?

Most shops will give you a couple free ones and then more if you spend some money at the shop. It's all determined by the store but you probably won't be able to walk in and just request one of everything without spending any cash.

[tm24]

Mine is three books, goes up every 20 bucks you spend.

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Here is IDW.

I'll add some more in later, but I wanted to make sure everyone is happy with the formatting.

If you're going to post a bunch of books/pubs at once I might recommend using the smaller cover versions (just so you don't fill up the whole page when you post) but otherwise it looks fine to me. :)

Yeah it's good. I've read the content already through a friend's singles but I've already bought the trade off amazon.

[see5harp]

Animal Man is very good. Art and writing is solid.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Animal Man is pretty good, it's meandering right now a bit too much for me right now.
