Spoilers. In the age of digital comics, they are increasingly becoming an issue in these threads, as the drive to be first to discuss the week's releases overrides common sense and good posting etiquette. So over the coming weeks and months, the members of Comic GAF will be collaborating on and will eventually be implementing a system of general rules for avoiding spoilers on new comics in the Comics OT thread. But for now, please abide by the temporary guidelines outlined below. And remember, you are being watched and judged by your peers.

1. Discussion of newly released comics that involves specific plot details shall be accompanied at all times by the appropriate use of the
tag function.
2. Direct posting of full-page images from newly released comics using the tags is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
3. Direct posting of images or spoilers from comics that have yet to be released is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
4. Covers, solicitation copy, and/or promotional materials shall not be considered spoilers and are allowed, unless their content involves specific plot details; in those cases, outgoing links with spoiler warnings should be used.
5. The unmarked posting of spoilers related to comics will be allowed after a period of one week (Wednesday to Wednesday) from that comic's release.[/b] ([u]NOTE:[/u] Longer? -Spike)
[b]6. Members of Comic GAF are expected at all times to exercise common sense and polite discretion as a matter of courtesy to fellow posters. I know, tough one.
7. If you are unsure of whether or not posting something would constitute a spoiler, err on the side of caution and use the [SPOILER] tags.[/b]

In short, don't be Stephanie Brown. Don't be... The Spoiler.

Happy reading!

I'm seriously excited for Wolf. Looking forward to Matt Taylor's art and a solid LA detective story that will fill the void True Detective is creating.

Don't tell me you're one of those people who reads comics/manga in the aisle...

No, I very rarely go to Barnes and Nobles and read in aisles. I went there because we have a heatwave and we don't have A/C.

The worst thing about post-Secret Wars Daredevil is that Matt will no longer be fabulous.
The current look is the best thing to happen ever.

I hate this extreme change with an apprentice and no Kirsten (apparently). The synopsis better turn me around.
 
Morrison Batman is so good. Really loved batman and son, then Batman RIP and the first batman and robin book so far. Really awesome books. Return of Bruce Wayne worth reading ? The whole final encounter with the black glove I loved, I mean, the bad guy injects batman with meth and dumps him on the street ? Man.

Yeah, it's directly part of Morrison's Batman run and, outside of that, is a rad little time travelling story about Bruce Batmanning his way through history. Also, some great art throughout.

I gotta post more, but i don't read that many comics each day.

That's what's needed to post more, right guys? Reading? Comics? Comics.

I did hear a conversation less than 5 feet from me talking about Spider-Gwen's costume, saying that it was cute. Then one of them said that she's not a masochist and wouldn't read 50 years of Spider-Man to understand the current story line. Then they went back to the manga section.

Reminds me of my old thread.

She's right though, all of Marvel publishing history has been leading to Secret Wars.....

I think JC is an impostor cause after i sent him that code he didn't try to sell it in the thread. i think between bans someone stole his account, who do i contact for help

It doesn't seem that the new Marvel line-up is exactly perfect for new readers.

Works for me. Then again I'm not a NEW reader really. It's just been 10-12 years since I was last into comics.

Also Secret Wars itself has been my jumping off point.

So the book that got me to read comics for the first time in over twenty years is getting issue #2 in only a week!

Here's a preview of Providence #2 which does cover some basic details of issue #1:http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/03...ore-jacen-burrows-providence-2-cover-gallery/

After I read the first issue I was immediately impressed with Moore's depth of knowledge on the source material. Everyone loves Lovecraft, but when motherfuckers start busting out
Robert W. Chambers
I have to respect that. I can't wait to see where the series goes.

After I finished Providence #1 I went and bought the entire run of
Neonomicon, since it is evidently a sequel to Providence.
If Providence can shock as much as that series, but maintain its subtlety, it'll be a treat indeed.
