I've heard good things about that run.
I really enjoyed those issues. More people need to read Soule's Daredevil.

Flash Rebirth hardcover finished. Loved it. Probably gonna take a break from Abe Sapien amd read the Rucka Punisher run next. Then finish Abe and move on to the Punisher MAX collections.
Only thing I hate about the Flash deluxe:
Literally a perfect space up top for issue title and writing/art credits, and it's just empty.

I just plowed through the first half of Rucka's Punisher in one sitting. Damn fine comics.

Just started Grayson Vol. 2. The issue where they're walking across the desert with the baby.
Dick Grayson could not, as a character, currently be in better hands.

I don't read comics too much these days but I thought I would share this with you all. My brother is a big Skottie Young fan so I bought him a signed copy of I Hate Fairyland #1 for his birthday along with some 2099 CGC books and some frames to go along with them. That said, I now have eBay recommendations of comics like "Hellina Scythe," "Unholy," and "The Ravening." Feel free to google those when you are away from coworkers and loved ones and will not be judged.
I assume it was the Fairyland book that prompted these recommendations right? Anyone else order comics through eBay and get those recommendations?
Also anyone here deep in the hole of collecting graded comic books? As I was skimming though them looking for birthday gifts it seems like a hobby that get really expensive really quick.

It is highly possible he's already read it but doesn't realise due to how unmemorable it is.
I see BK's already got it covered...
Flash Rebirth v1 is a stronger book. (Mainly due to the new characters/villain).

Today I said a temporary farewell to one of my best friends as well as my partner in buying comics. He's moving from Japan on Wednesday. Pretty shitty. We went to college together, hung out in Tokyo all the time, he visited me when I lived in Izumo, then we worked together for over a year, and continued to talk almost daily and hang out at least once a week after I quit.
I guess I'm trying to say that I'll want to talk about comics more on here because I don't really have anyone in this whole country to talk to about them with anymore.
Thanks for having me, ComicsGAF.

Haha. A bit of a late welcome, but I still appreciate it.
Even if I hadn't seen any of Winkles posts I still would have known you were talking about New52 Flash. God that was boring.

I have a strong feeling that it would have been way more interesting without any dialogue. Just a silent Flash book with that art.

That's sad to hear about your friend moving. I get what you mean though, out of my friends none of them are really into comics so pretty much on here is the only place I talk about stuff and online is the place where I get comic news. The best I can probably get is can sometimes get some friends to watch the movies and some of the tv stuff when it comes out. Guess the internet is actually useful for some things ha.

Good week for comics this week 
Black Panther - The Crew (Too late for a cancellation uncancelling? this stuff is too good to get rid of)
DC Metal (Midnight release cover, forget that awful regular cover nonsense)
Motor Girl
Secret Weapons

Yeah. In real life, I don't really know people who listen to the Japanese bands I like (even out of my Japanese friends) or the American comics I read besides that one friend and a few back home. Only option is the internet really.

The comics that I will be purchasing and subsequently reading this week.
Southern Bastards (finally!!!)
Batman
Superman
Metal
Astonishing Xmen
Super Sons
It's shocking to me that the only comic coming out from Image I'm buying this week is Southern Bastards. It's like a parallel universe where the only Image comic releasing is Southern Bastards, when it's usually the only one that never comes out.

Hi everyone.
This weekend I read Hit 1955 and Cold War: The Damocles Contract. They were both alright.
I have a straw poll for you lot though.
Last week I read the first two volumes of Ghosted. I enjoyed it but didn't blow me away. There are only 4 volumes and the next two are going cheap on CMX. Should I just pick them up and finish the series?

Well at least its probably better than the pre-internet days when we'd have no one to talk comics with. Now at least we get faceless internet strangers....................and added gifs ha

Also I tried Redlands issue 1 when I was picking up Mr Miracle last week, I really wanted to like it for the team involved but didn't really hit with me. Just seemed like pretty cliche horror stuff, nothing really original in there and the art wasn't even that great to go with it. Maybe horror style comics just don't do it for me or maybe it was something that would just take a few issues to develop.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it was anything BEYOND good (besides that extraordinary art). I just thought, read all together, it was a fun time. It was at least competently written (unlike something like Brian Hitch's stuff).
Yeah, the writing here is definitely much stronger.

A lot of people don't like The Flash Rebirth though. I love it and have done since the beginning.
I'm honestly surprised that reception is relatively mixed on Flash Rebirth. It's just really good Flash comics.
I like it better than the main SW book, not quite as good as Aphra though. I'd recommend checking it out if you like TFA and the other SW comics.
I added Mr. Miracle to my pull list like a week before it came out.. Hopefully they are still honoring it and not marking that issue up, seems like the first printing is selling out fast.

Me too. Part of me wonders if it's the old guard who love Wally over Barry.

An adorable fuzzy one, yes.
Possibly. I love Wally, but I like Barry, too. I'm fine with either.

I need to get on with trying more rebirth stuff, I tried Green Arrow and Superman from recommendations and found both dissapointing. Green Arrow had good art but the story was pretty cliche and made less sense the more you thought about it. Superman was better and had potential but can't say it gripped me from the first volume I read. Doom Patrol was pretty winning though.
Think will still give Batman, Detective and Flash a go at some point (even if I would prefer Wally ha).
Was originally considering Titans and Deathstroke as well, but after reading the Lazarus contract cross over can't say it really made me want to read more of either of them.

Hey, blame the Post for putting it right in the title. Last time I posted an article and changed the title some mod changed it to the article title like half an hour later.
At least they didn't just call it
Dream is in Metal!
Comic websites are shit. They mostly only talk about Comic Book Live Action shit so they almost not even earn the name Comic Website.
There are only three good right now
A)CSB - CSB should go independent from that shitpage they are on right now
B) Retcon Punch
C) Superior Spider-Talk.
We should collect more pages that dont rely on Clickbait shit, bullshit rumors and focus more on good reviews, indeepth analysis and essays.

I wouldn't necessarily it's the type of site that has essays, but I do really like Multiversity, and they'll put a lot of time into features on smaller books. No lists or anything either.
That said, I actually don't really visit many comic sites or identity with many writers kind of thing, comics I very much just follow my nose and sometimes solicit advice from you guys.
