Huh, interesting. I know about the wings torn off/turned into Death stuff. I just haven't regularly read X books in like 20 years, sibce Fatal Attractions really. I've read some trades here and there but not a lot.

DC reveals Bat Family covers for March 2013 (Source: Bleeding Cool, SPOILER WARNING for Batman Inc #8)
One of those seems... very out of place. :\

It's some awful story Lobdell is attempting.

So...
what the hell, Red Robin! Stop smiling, you shit. Also, is that a cover for Teen Titans or is Red Robin finally getting his own series

...Yeah...
Idk if I'll ever get back into Bat Family books again for a while... Maybe one day when all the fallout from Batman Inc. #8 has settled. But for now, I'll just see where this goes.

For Emerald City? Me too...
One of my coworkers went and I'm hella jealous haha.
I got it for Christmas, it's a pretty great read. I wish I had a companion book for DC, because I'd like to understand a bit more of the context of a few of the things, but that's hardly the author's fault. The only disappointing thing about it is that it really starts to gloss over the later stuff--given Marvel's high quality as of late, I think it's a bit unfairly dismissive. (Even though the basic premise of weirdos->corporate is essentially sound).

The Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror #1 (which everyone should have bought, fyi) perfectly illustrates the problem I have with putting all ads in the back: you're getting into the story and can't wait to turn the page, and then you turn the page and it's an ad... and another ad... and another ad... and another ad. All those pages you thought were more story were just ads, and now you have to wait until next month.

I was reading Matt Fraction's tumblr... I was getting really salty when I read that he'd basically sign anything you brought.
Also, his issue breakdowns are fantastic.

Should have given my coworker my copy of Hawkguy 3 to get signed. Is Aja supposed to be there too? If he is plz kill me now.

He's also got Casanova shirts as well - said he wants to get a mail order system set up for them to sell.
Wow. Pretty much all of my current favorite creators. Big Wow ain't got shit on this lol.
One again, fuck you Anacrime. Wondercon would have had all these guys too

Last minute decisions to go to Emerald City Comic Con are the best kind of decisions. Only Friday passes at the moment? Oh the fuck well! Figure the rest out!
Thank God I only live 3.5 hours away. :x

why did you spoil that and be wrong?
Guardians of the Galaxy 0.1, 1, 2 got added to my dcbs order. It is done.
Though i also added JLoA #2 and 3 combo packs, tried to get #1 but dcbs is out of issues. I'll wait till the second issue is out and get #1 digitally when it drops a buck, though it's going to hurt my ability to resell JLoA on ebay later with just issues 2-whatever *shrugs*

The best Bat-characters are Stephanie Brown and Barbara Gordon, but okay. Damien isn't too bad, but Babs is better.

I like all the Bat characters except Babs and Jason. Actually, I don't mind Babs as Oracle.

Yeah, I'm not usually a huge fan of origin stories. But this one was pretty good.
Hey all, I'm pretty new (maybe 6 months in, been pretty Marvel-centric) to the comic game and I've been following these threads for a bit and wanted to thank all of you for some of the great recommendations, Saga being the most recent that comes to mind!
Also wanted to ask a quick question while I'm at it. As a huge fan of Uncanny X-Force, and on an extremely tight budget, is the new Uncanny X-Force worth my while over what I currently am following (Hawkeye, Saga and Thor: God of Thunder)? Thanks again, all!

First post on GAF as well!

No.
Welcome! The new UXF isn't nearly as good as the old one, or Marvel's other best titles. You're reading the best of the best, it looks like. If you're looking to add one or two more books, might I suggest also adding something from my favorite author Jonathan Hickman? He's writing Avengers/New Avengers (both are tied together), The Manhattan Projects (self contained story from the same imprint as Saga) and a new series called East of West that drops in March. Maybe take a brief look at each and see if any catch your attention... he's the best author in comics today.

The new Uncanny X-Force is great so far. It's only been 2 issues, though.

I got tickets to take my daughter there on Saturday, the first Comic convention of any type that I've ever been to. My boss went with his daughter last year and told me that it was actually super kid friendly and recommended that I try it (he's been the pusher for getting me hooked on comics over this last year). Has a big kids section, lots of people watching for crazy outfits, toys everywhere, freeplay board and video game section. I'll probably tour around with her in the morning, get her Wizard of Oz book signed by Skottie Young, then drop her of back at home when she gets tired in the afternoon and get back myself to poke around some more.

Really? I mean, it's not terrible or anything, but it's not exactly compelling me to keep spending $3.99 on it. I'll give it another issue or two, but meh so far. Uncanny X-men on the other hand is OMGmazing.
Man, that's kinda too bad about UXF... maybe it'll get more interesting down the line, but I might pick at least one issue up if the mood strikes to see how it is, considering there seems to be some differences in opinion on it!
I'll definitely check him out! I'm guessing the Avenger ones are in the whole Marvel Now thing, right?
Oh, forgot to add that I'm following All New X-Men as well, whenever I can.

Are you kidding? My pull list is like, 30 titles. Some Wednesdays make me cringe.
I don't have that problem. There's usually something on the final story page to indicate, hey this is the end of this month's story, see you next time.
I'd much rather that than ads in between story pages.
