COMICS! |OT| February 2013. How can it be called a "SUPER Bowl" when nobody can fly?

I feel like the consensus of this thread is that B&R is the best part of his run.

I liked the first issue and I hope Spencer can keep up the momentum. He recently did a Q&A on the CBR forums and it seems like he has long term plans that could turn out to be great.
I also had no idea that Daisy Johnson was the Director of SHIELD.
Oh yeah, most definitely.
Cool. I've heard good things about B&R but I'm hoping that it'll be an improvement over his immediately preceding work on the character. I don't think I so much enjoyed reading Batman & Son, Black Glove, and R.I.P. as perhaps rather merely appreciated Morrison for being incredibly studious of Batman history.
Also it's fucking weird at times, even with the Black Casebook absorbed fully in my mind prior to reading any of this. God, that was a slog. 50's era Batman comics. Never again.

It's about $75 online. I'm all digital now for floppies (except for Archie). I just made the change. I'm still going to buy trades and hardcovers though. Thanks for the idea, I didn't think that New Xmen would be on that service. I subscribed right when it came out but not since then.
Can you read MDCU on a MacBook Air or does the flash thing interfere?
Buzzfeed has a preview of JL 17, I bring it up only to reaffirm that Ivan Reis is the master of the double page spread.

Almost makes me forget Loeb is writing almost.....
Age of Ultron is only being released because it was Bendis' pet project that was originally passed over for AvX. From what we have seen, it has minor implications for other titles. There are a few stand alone tie in issues, but that is about it. It won't be like past crossovers where some books are stuck in tie-in mode for 3-6 issues.
Infinity on the other hand may be a different matter.
Rich updated his GL rumor: Tomasi is apparently taking over the main book, and Fialkov will be on GLC and Red Lanterns. Both of these make more sense, especially since Fialkov had previously said he had two books in the works that were connected.

Do we know if the Infinity issues will have the same structuring as the AU issues? That would be amazing.

Hopefully the rainbow lantern party is finally over and we get some actual space cop action, with the better characters from other corps occasionally showing up instead of ALL RAINBOW, ALL THE TIIIIME.
I would guess you'll still get rest of the Corps in New Guardians, since that's the point of the book.

Tomasi makes sense. But Fialkov is definitely an interesting one. Wouldn't mind seeing what he'd do with Red Lanterns.

I sent Rich a tip on his section about Johns launching a Stargirl ongoing in June. Lets see if it gets a message.
Yeah, you keep a sense of familiarity on the main book, and let the new guys run on the side books and see how it sticks. I hope Vendetti gets New Guardians.
It doesn't need a point, it's double shipped.

Neither do half the editors at Marvel, apparently, as many books have Maria Hill in charge. It doesn't help that the two characters look pretty much the same.
I liked the first issue and I hope Spencer can keep up the momentum. He recently did a Q&A on the CBR forums and it seems like he has long term plans that could turn out to be great.
I also had no idea that Daisy Johnson was the Director of SHIELD.
Daisy was named Director of the reconstituted SHIELD at the end of the series "Secret Warriors".
Batman 13-17 are the main issues of that arc. Pretty much all the other Bat books have tie-ins too if you're interested.
I made up a lot of nonsense and sent it to him a few years ago and he posted it in Lying in the Gutters. Now that I think about it, it might have formed the basis for the new 52.
Gotta be a miss direct. This is one time I don't want to be right.

Agree. Although I fought tooth and nail against the idea that Cassandra Nova had taken over Xavier's body until the reveal so what do I know.
Well thats disappointing, basically Johns hands the reigns off to Tomasi. We'll see if this leads to anything positive

Considering Morrison take is the only one I have liked on the character I'm ok with it.
Edit seems the covers are ligit. Rich is saying the same dude spoiled ASM 700 as well

I still trust Morrison but I sincerely hope this isn't what some people are speculating... that
I mean, the guy
?
That's bull.
to prevent the apocalyptic future we've seen, Bruce either kills Damien or allows him to die.
won't off a clown but he'll do his own son
That's bull.

Batman died in final crisis which is like part 6 of RIP

But not in RIP. The culmination of that storyline was him "dying" which is
what will probably happen to D-Boz in the span of a single ish.
Like pops like kiddo.
Awesome.
Fuck no. What's the point of discussion if we can't discuss shit? Fuck spoiler tags on fucking covers, fuck spoiler tags on comics on the day they're released, fuck a third thing fuck I only really have two grievances.
