I have. And yeah, it's awesome.
I said this after Bendis and after Brubaker but every time it gets worse: whoever writes Daredevil next has a lot to live up to. I hope Kirsten sticks around, she's a great character. Hell, they have a great relationship. I always complain that relationships in cape books are poorly written but looking back at Waid's run, this one rings true.

I wonder how likely it is Batman #40 won't get spoiled for me before the trade comes out.
Spoiler: Darkseid dies in this.I wonder how likely it is Batman #40 won't get spoiled for me before the trade comes out.
If I hadn't gotten there late, he'd have it on his list to check out, and the noob would be emotionally ruined and hooked on comics forever.
Maybe U. Fury.

So far, it's only been Miles. The O5 X-Men also recently traveled to 1610 in All New X-Men.
It's obviously going to change with Secret Wars.
Well I obviously meant after secret wars >_>

This was my favorite bit too. So intense! Actually its the favorite of everyone I know personally now that I think about it. This post is making me wanna bust out the TPB's and read the whole series all over again.
But Im still behind on young Miles Morales and it just wouldnt be fair to him.
Also, complete non sequitor, I started reading Jem and The Holograms. Entirely because Sophie Campbell is drawing it and shes the fucking best.

Ultimate Fury (who is actually good) for sure. Junior hopefully will be killed off or forgotten.

Going to be gone for a few days, heading back home for the nephew's communion.
Can't be bothered bringing my laptop because it's so close to its' retirement (my new PC shipped, Wednesday is the day barring any last-minute catastrophes). I'm just bringing my phone, but can't really type on it with my ham-like fingers. Will bring tablet as well to read some comics but not sure what. I'll see what I have downloaded I guess. Sunstone is definitely on the list though.
Stay safe gang, you fuckers better not get banned raging about Age of Ultron!

After they just got rid of OG Nick to make room for Clunior? Unlikely.
Multiversity post mortem with Ivan Reis. Gonna put cool quotes in tags just to play it safe.
Some good stuff here.
When I read the plot and I understood what was going on, I created the narrative language, in order to give the story a unique view. All the panels are aligned, and creating a grid where we often see treavelings in the scenes.
But face that as a Rubiks cube, where sometimes the scenes align like the colors of the cube would, and youll understand you have a Rubiks Comic where, as you try to align the colors/universes, we have moments in which the scene fits in two or three panels.
As the universes align, it becomes more and more evident, until it gets chaotic in the last issue.

Fitting the scenes the right way, giving proper importance to each moment without changing this systematic language of the Rubiks Comic was the hardest part.
Since I create as I draw, I had no idea where this was leading me, or even if it was going to work, but once you see the complete story, it makes more sense.
Chaos and luck helped me make it work. [Laughs.]
Like I said before, the story is happening under this light, but I didnt plan the pages in advance to know what was waiting for me ahead. Id read the story to have a general idea, but Id only think of the page when Id draw it.

Have fun and stay safe. Don't let anyone trick you into reading comics.
Totally read Sunstone. Its ok you can come back after your few days away and thank me. Thats if I am even here. You never know. One day I might just be gone. Years will go by and other comics fans will move in and no one will utter my name. Zombine will return and ask where I am and they will say "Messi who?". Somewhere out there a shivver will go down my spine.

I will, I don't know what I'm going to read next though.
Speaking of, how does one go about reading DC stuff? Just buy physical copies? They don't seem to have a Marvel Unlimited equivalent, which is sad because I want to read me some Batgirl, Power Girl, Batwoman stuff.

Yeah, they don't offer a MU type service so you have to buy individual issues or trades/hardcovers.
For Power Girl, you can just pick up the Power Trip TPB. It collects the complete run by Gray/Palmiotti/Conner and it's one of my favorite comics. Batwoman, just pick up Elegy then start the New 52 series. There's a lot of Batgirl so maybe someone can help with that, I've only read part of the series by Bryan Q. Miller and I really like it.
Cant find the thread, can you link it for me?
What thread? He didn't get banned lol. He is usually here or his other comics thread.
Wait, Messi got banned?

Her and vision used to have kids
I think they come from that

Didn't they hand wave that away as hallucinations during House of M?
Tommy and Billy are her reincarnated sons who previously died because they were made from parts of Mephistos soul. It's really weird. They are Visions sons.
It comes up in Childrens Crusade as it being true.

Just finished both issues of Jem and The Hollograms. That second issue was muuuuuch better than the first. The characters all came into their own super quick. At first I was just reading for Sophie Campbell but now Im actually curious to see how this goes.
Anyone else reading this? Is the cartoon any good? Wasnt expecting to dig this as much as i did but it's very enjoyable.

I completely forgot everything about Children's Crusade.
Absolutely love it and cant wait for #3. Really wish it was ongoing. Jem better stop holding my girl Kimber back. She is the real star of the group. I think the art in both issues has been stellar and totally fits the style they are going for.
We have a few people here reading it.

My word, Criminal by The Brubster has some wonderful writing in it.
I do that with most Young Avengers books but I remember this because Doom killed Cassie in it.

Reading Batman Beyond 2.0, which I assume it's called because it's the continuation of the tv show.

I wasn't reading comics during the time, but it always amazes me how far they took the vision and Wanda relationship.
Billy is Wiccan, Tommy is Speed (he takes after his uncle.)
I don't think so, pretty sure he goes by his adopted parents last name.
