Man. I love the work smut. It just sounds dirty.
I think #2 is still my fave.
It seems very rare to find good write ups on comics. Is that just because I'm new? I do enjoy most of what multiversity does.
PM sent.
There's a lot of comic review websites, but many of them have poor writing. The AV Club typically has well-done essays, Comics Alliance has some great write-ups, and Weekly Comic Book Review seems to have some good writers (though a few are pretty poor).
I'd suggest checking out ComicBookRoundup.com and finding a few writers that you agree with to follow.
Check out Comic Vine.
I hear Ann Nocenti ghostwrites for Comicvine

I hadn't read a Thor solo book before before getting the two God of Thunder trades. It's very easy to get into and bloody brilliant as well. I couldn't put it down.
Thanks for the picks. I don't really need to agree with the review/reviewer, I just want the reviews to be good. Back up your positive/negative statements! It seems there's a lot of fans that want to write about comics but just don't know how to review things.
I've noticed they give two stars for spelling the name correctly at the top of the test.
Seconded. Also very pretty to look at. I've read the 3rd trade/arc dips in quality but it's back on for the 4th (current) one.

Have you guys seen Retcon Punch? Definitely one of the better in-depth review sites for Big Two books. I wish they'd do some indie stuff.

Tell me about it, all my usual comic blog stomping grounds have dried up. David Brothers is practically the last bastion.

Huh. The webs genuinely make it more difficult to tell (of course, they could be characters that no one has ever seen in the first place).
There was a story where Bendis confirmed he got a go ahead for it, so probably.

Man that's awesome. I collect Catwoman stuff but that's way out of my price range now.

Man, who likes Simone Bianchi's style? Whenever I see it, it just seems like a series of poorly constructed characters to me, a real mishmash.

I'm tempted, but I buy enough figures without getting into ones that offer payment plans. XD

Great interview with Tim Seeley about him writing the last few issues of Talon, pulling stuff from Grant Morrison's work, and writing Batman Eternal.

Yeah if you already feel it's too much, starting up payment plans doesn't seem like a prudent choice.
Does anyone here have experience searching out / buying original comic art (like the interiors /covers)? I'm looking to pick up some stuff to frame in my room and it seems like the prices vary greatly. I'd love to get some BPRD stuff that isn't already marked up to crazy prices by resellers. Anything by Mignola looks like it's priced over $1500 no matter what, so I've given up hope on ever owning anything he drew...
So Ellen Page is gonna be Tara Chace in the Queen and Country movie? Huh.
All depends on the artist, some guys sell their stuff through dealers, some sell it on their own and prices vary based on the notoriety of the book, the artist, and what exactly is on the pages. Covers are always super expensive, and so are double page spreads. Mignola is a pretty huge name, so his stuff being $1000+ doesn't surprise me at all.

H'El on Earth is too damn annoying to read in trades. I hate this events that are impossible to get the whole story reading only one book.
They made Rotworld and Throne of Atlantis right. If I only read Animal Man, the trade had the two essencial Swamp Thing issues. The same with Justice League and Animal Man. Hél on Earth was just annoying. And as far as I could see, the Green Lanterns are just as bad.

I very nearly bought a page from Chew a few months back.
This one
I've posted the pictures before, but my wife got me two Tyler Kirkham pages from Green Lantern: New Guardians. I got them framed and they hang in our upstairs den/living room.
Yeah I remember those. Pretty cool gift.

Next weeks comics have not even come out but I think I have my top 3 already. Pretty confident with the bunch.

Read that Tim Seely interview? He said he writes a lot of Catwoman in Batman Eternal.
Did he now. Not sure how I'd feel about a well written Catwoman.
Ooh and his arc is Batgirl centric. Right up my alley.

The figures I buy now are mostly video game / anime character figures imported from Japan. Those things tend to go for $70-$100 a pop on average, and I buy three or four per month as it is. XD

It's fun to see her as Harleen.
I think we're gonna try and get a Skottie Young commission.
Who are you going to ask for?

I think I have a growing, secret fondness for comic covers that have literally nothing to do with what happens in the book. Like, I know I shouldn't and should actually find the practice deceptive but there is also a fine art to it. Take New Guardians #29,
NOTHING ABOUT THIS HAPPENED. The Priestess lady and Kyle have no romantic interaction or even any physical contact or any expressions of attraction nor does Carol have any weird sulky jealousy going on.
But I still love it.

No idea, whoever my wife wants to get. Young is hands down her favorite comics artist.
not a good start to DCBS March Madness ( though in non-comics related news, i picked Duke to tank in the second round, not first)
Walking Dead 122 and 123: Kirkman decided to start releasing the All Out War story arc twice a month and in similar Bendis " we need to tell this quicker!" fashion it's because it's rather boring issue to issue and the only solution is to get them out faster so it won't feel as long. But it does feel long, there is an over abundance each issue of going character to character each day talking about how they feel, which isn't a bad thing for comics, but Kirkman has never been one for engaging dialog so it feels flat in long spurts. The only highlight was when
I didn't see that coming, i had no idea that Kirkman was capable of such shocking moments 100+ issues into his run and i can't wait for issue 124. Kirkman is at the top of his game.

Superboy Prime showed up FROM OUT OF NOWHERE and killed Negan by throwing him onto the moon.

I'm going to assume that spoiler is literal and factual.
