Hey thats what what my Vader trade was doing without water. What a mistake. Gillen shite
It's probably one of the greatest stories in the medium. I have a hard time saying that any 1 book is the best because I can think of a few that fit that category for its respective genre, but it's 100% fun and absolutely his best work. Amazing story beats from issue to issue, no wasted characters, and a very accessable and sometimes funny story. Tons of amazing character growth everywhere.
I've only ever read the first book. I'm gonna start back at the beginning + fairest.

I need to get the last two trades and the rest of Fairest someday. And that Bigby Wolf no pictures book.
I wish I didnt have most of it also so I could get those cool hardcovers.

Reading and really liking the new Uncanny X-Men. Goodness I'm juggling so many comics right now but I love it.
Anyways, how much time passed since the universe was restored post-Secret Wars? Because Triage looks way older now.
Oh and I adore the cast of the Exiles. I kinda wish this Sunfire was Earth-616's Sunfire because she's awesome.

And when Reed Richards restored the earth, did he restore it to the time just before the final incursion was supposed to happen (but never did obviously)?
Triage looks way more than 8 months older than he was in Bendis' run lol.
Comics!
Secret Wars Too #1 - didnt really like it. The first story with the meta hickman was funny but the rest did nothing for me.
All New Laura #2 - I love this book. Really like where the story with the clones is going and loved my boy
showing up for the cliffhanger. Pls dont cancel this book Marvel, or change creative.
Carnage #2 - this continues to be shockingly good. Theres a cool Aliens vibe with Carnage stalking them in the tunnels, Brock itching to let loose as Toxin, and to top it off there's a cool cliffhanger with
baby! Fun book.

Oof, Archangel is one of the worst comics I have read in a long time. The dialogue is wooden, the characters flat, the story kinda just a mess and all over the place, the storytelling itself is heavily flawed as transitions aren't always quite clear and the flow of the plot is extremely rough.
William Gibson is a living legend responsible for some of the best sci-fi ever written. He doesn't seem to know how to write a comic book. In fact the book made me appreciate just how difficult writing comics can be.

Why. ;_;
Creative gas already changed. Takara is the artist now
You got a example so I can curl into fetal position and cry?

Am I the only one here who's read Sweet Tooth? It kind of blew me away. I didn't know what to expect at first, but certainly didn't expect this from the cover art. The pitch I saw in articles was "Bambi meets The Road", and it's totally that, with a little Last of Us atmosphere too. It's bleak, violent, dark, yet also kind of charming

I'll admit, I saw the cover of the first issue and passed based on that alone.

Guys, where is Lunchpod?
I'm reading Doctor Mirage and it's pretty good. I need other Valiant suggestions. But nothing that's too far in. Maybe one or two hardcover volumes.

Read The Valiant. Don't know if it's on CMX Unlimited, though.
Yeah, Janin is a beast. Looks fantastic.

I love cosmic colored characters, too. Gives me that nostalgic feel for Kirby. I love shit like Extant:
Well well well then, I suppose I will have to keep going.
Really? I still feel like it's a discount Remender's Uncanny X-Force. Granted the new arc seems to be bringing it more into its own thing, but still.
Speaking of Sunfire, I'm upset that he no longer has his Atomic Knight power-up. A cosmic book with him in it (not a solo) would be dope as fuuuuuuck.

Hm. That might be a good fit. Is it just the one volume?
Yeah. It was the first Valiant thing I read and it impressed me a lot.

Well, 1) it's from the same writer as Animal Man
2) A lot of articles listed it as one of Vertigo's best series

I read it, it's probably the only non Limited series I entirely own in floppies. Considering double dipping on the Deluxe HCs. Introduced me to Lemire as well. I think I went in cause someone here posted to go try it when it first launched and at $1 for issue one it was an easy add.
Man, that's really impressive. I think ~400 is about the most I've done.
You got that right. Even though I LOOOVE Capullo Batman, seeing that Rebirth preview is like a breath of fresh air. It's always nice to mix things up sometimes. It gets me excited.

Do you really have time to soak in the art at that speed?

Forserious.
Not all art is worth soaking in, or even meant to be soaked in, tbh. There's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it's just a vehicle to tell the story.

Archer and Armstrong. My favorite valiant book. Just a fun and funny book. It's the spiritus sequel to Marvels incredible here comic. Also check out Harbinger.
Those IMO have been my favorites from the rebooted Valiant line.

Who was doubting him though? I think most people dug his art on Grayson and it seemed like he would do good on Batman.
I'm not a big fan of Snyder or Capullo so I'm stoked for this new run. Not a big fan of Finch either but at least it's not every issue.

Now you understand why I consider it the second best comic run after Morrison/Case Doom Patrol. Great comics ending on its own terms.
Gotham Central is dope too, so you're back on the cool comix train, Kipp

I was more referring to the actual X-Men. You'll know what I'm talking about.

If you told me a few weeks ago that I'd enjoy the new Alice more than X-Men Apocalypse I would have cackled and slapped you across the face for such blasphemy...
... but alas, I enjoyed Through The Looking Glass more than Apocalypse.
Mostly because I wasn't pissed by how Singer treated Storm the entire time lmao.

The Mighty Avengers #29
Continuing along my Inhumans reading order, we return to Slott's Mighty Avengers, where the Avengers are waging war with The Unspoken. In this issue, China is still bad at things, we finally learn that the Slave Engine is a doomsday weapon, and that Xerogen does the opposite of Terrigen, as its purpose is to turn humans into Alpha Primitives.
Really cool Inhumans stuff going on. Also there's some stuff with Scarlet Witch being Lady Loki and also Hank Pym going beyond the bounds of reality or something.

I'm re-reading the Planetary omnibus. The last time I read it was like a couple of months into when I started reading comics last year. I thought it was really cool but I had a very hard time following it then.
Three issues in now, and man, it is blowing me AWAY. It makes so much more sense to me and I'm following it so much easier. I think it's a comic for people who are pretty well-versed with comics. Like, it's not a beginner's book. But, wow, it's fantastic. I'm having a blast reading it.
Are those Rebirth issues this coming Wednesday?
Wow I didn't realize we're there so soon.

Would be cool if they surprised us and it was good. But, yeah, I don't blame you for not taking the risk, haha.

Okay. Finished both Doctor Mirage trades. I would say I enjoyed it. I'll probably grab another Valiant book or two this week from IST since I need to order the third Goon Library Edition anyway.
