Dark Horse is bringing it next week. New BPRD and new Black Hammer.
Also, I love next week's Doom Patrol variant:

Squirrel Girl finally got the Eisner it deserved. Happy to see it.

Someone should make a thread about Squirrel Girl winning an Eisner just to see the salty "THE ART SUCKS" replies.

Best new series went to Black Hammer, which has been getting a lot of buzz around here lately!

I'm up to the annual right now. It's been really enjoyable.

I'm glad to hear this. I've kept an eye out for a good Lanterns ongoing since I enjoyed Soule's run on Red Lanturns. Time to jump back into that BOGO.
Omg I am overjoyed! Fuckin' A!

Would Squirrel Girl be considered all ages? Probably more like teen rated, eh?
Either way, I would rather buy this for my young niece than most of the drivel peddled to girls (looking at you DC Super Hero Girls). Squirrel Girl is hilarious and contains awesome role models, three of which are people who are not white. This book rocks and I'm glad it's being validated

by what is most likely a stupid, antiquated system.

It's one of DC's best selling books.

Yeah, I know. I'm glad at least there is something available for the younger audience to enjoy.

It's definitely all ages. I would worry more about them missing some of the jokes, like everybody's favorite nihilist Brain Drain would probably go over a lot of young heads.
Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe is a great intro to the run, it's my daughter's favorite Squirrel Girl story

Ended up using the SDCC sale to buy all of the Abe Sapien series along with Empowered on Comixlogy. Been rereading what I read of Empowered and it's fun. It's nice reading it without Dark Horse's digital app.
Is there a good round-up of all of the announcements for the major publishers at SDCC? It's been kind of all over the place here.

I'm thinking about Abe Sapien. Either that or Baltimore.

JLD was awesome though. Well, Lemire and Milligan. DeMatteis...what did you do?
I have never been happier.
There was only three of them and that episode was horrifying.
I like Birds of Prey. Quite a bit.
I really enjoyed Simone's take.
The first arc of Titans might be rough if you're not interested in Wally West, because the entire thing is about him. I am, however, so I really enjoyed it.
Superman
Detective Comics
Nightwing
Green Arrow
All hot fire. I've also been digging:
Batgirl and the Birds of Prey
Titans
Supergirl
JLA
I couldn't stand GLs. At least the first arc. I bailed four issues in. Everyone here says it's gotten a lot better, but I've been burned before

Reading up on some Marvel news today. It seems that Marvel have no idea what they really want to do post Secret Empire.
yeah probably not

Pete Carroll Owns Me
Yay Team Saga, Matt Wilson, and Black Hammer!
I imagine that it's going to stay relatively the same.
They're doing a bad job of explaining and presenting the post-SE stuff to fans because they are trying to secretive for whatever reason. It's causing a lot of confusion and anger.
The Saga team should just get their own award lol.

It just seems like Marvel trying to solve the problem by making another event, which is a very dumb thing to do after trying to tell people they will stop making events.
What are refering to? Legacy is no event, its a couple of One Shots
ShadowSwordmaster
Banned
Isn't that Generations? Legecy is the one shot and the renumbering.
Booth are just one shots
The one is a Rebirth like Issue, Generations are One Shots were the Newcomers have a issue with the old heroes.
ShadowSwordmaster
Banned
That is even worst! I know what Generations is trying to do but having that Legecy one shot is not making anything easier for new people to jump in on. Rebirth had only one one-shot that more or less told where some stories are going, while Marvel is trying to say here is the Legecy one shot and a whole bunch of one shots that deals with other heroes if you want to know what we are going to do for the next year or so. That sounds like a event but not trying to call it a event.Booth are just one shots
The one is a Rebirth like Issue, Generations are One Shots were the Newcomers have a issue with the old heroes.
Marvel said that they have no major events planned. They're still going to dot smaller things like Venomverse for example.
Right now it seems like Legacy is supposed to give each book stories that "remind fans of classic Marvel" and bring stuff they "miss" back. Of course they are being really vague for some reason and people have no idea what's going on.

God, them cancelling Angela like right after it won an award was really dumb, but hey, it gave us Batwoman etc so I can't complain.

How many times are we going get those type of smaller events a year though? That is what I'm wondering here.

Vertigo Teases New 'Sandman' and 'Invisibles' at Comic-Con
Perez, Simonson and Starlin all got inducted into the hall of fame last night.

Depends I guess. I can be wrong, I dont have everything in my mind, but I think Venomverse is together with Clone Conspiracy the only one this year.

IvX ended around May, right? And 'Til Death Do Us was this year as well IIRC? And Weapons of Mutant Destruction is still going on.
ShadowSwordmaster
Banned
I guess that is a relief.
Edit: I forgot that IvX was a thing.
It really depends on what you consider an small event and what you consider a crossover. 2016 had Standoff, Clone Conspiracy, and Ivx, and this year had Monsters Unleashed and Venomverse. There's also stuff like WMD and the Deadpool crossover.
It ended in March.
ShadowSwordmaster

Clone Conspricy was in late 2016 to early 2017 and IvX was in late 2016 and early 2017 too. Then Civil War 2 started in June of 2016 and last for six months at least.

Haha good timing on the Abe pickup
The Fiumaras do some amazing work in there. Have you read the Abe mini from back in the day, The Drowning?
