It's a ghost!

I mean, looking at the New 52 is pretty much the end result of "Geoff Johns picks his favorites" when it comes to Flash and GL. Wally is a sacrificial lamb and Bart is Kid Flash. John Stewart isn't even in the New 52 as far as I know, and Kyle was in a group book that's not ongoing anymore (again, as far as I know).

We have Simon Baz who...I'm honestly not sure. Only thing I read with him in it was Trinity War.

It was bad.

John Stewart is usually the second GL now. The priority list is Hal > John > Kyle > Guy > Baz. Stewart essentially headlined GL Corps and it looks like Lost Army will be more of the same. Kyle's New Guardians just ended, he's a White Lantern, and Omega Men is beginning with him being killed off. Guy is a Red Lantern and has an awesome pornstache. Honestly, he lucked out with a better status quo.

No one knows where Simon Baz is. Johns created him and discarded him.

Fraction's FF #7-16 - just to say again that this book is wonderful and charming as shit. Even if Doom is a bit silly and cartoonish in it. Going to finish the series now since #17 is the last.

I love how by the end it had basically turned into a full blown screwball comedy. I love Bently-23.

I missed my kill shot at a spider and when i pulled away i am pretty sure the thing floated in air in a semi-circle directly towards me and i can feel it crawling all over me.

Does anyone own the Hellboy Library Editions? The freakin' paper is getting on my nerves, I can barely flip the page without a print being left behind. WTF?
Wash your hands. Seriously, it's as simple as that to prevent leaving oily prints on paper.

it's one of those sit alone in the dark and get feelings about X-Force kind of night

like what the fuck was up with the Garney-Humphries run on UXF, they put Puck in the team, what was the deal with that

That was a weak run. I did like Betsy cursing up a storm, and I like Spiral. But yeah its very random. The current X-Force is awesome and nobody is reading it

what the fuck was up with that run anyways

All I remember is Psylocke having some kind of three-way with Fantomex and a lady Fantomex who was also Fantomex while chased by a dark Fantomex, and Bishop fighting a psychic owl posessing a little girl who Spiral was protecting?

e: There was something about a Blood Moon, and also they brought back Mohawk Storm and she didn't take shit from anyone which was rad

Phantomex is cray cray

Like...really. He's gone full homicidal psycho in the current run and it's awesome

wat the fack

so Fantomex has three brains, right? I wanna say it's been established from way back

anyways during the last arc of Remender and Opeña and Ribic and a whole bunch of folks all colored by Dean goddamn White, he gets massively injured saving Psylocke, who he kinda sorta has a thing for

they find a machine in the super-big-evil villain group's hideout that can fix him, EXCEPT that machine fucks up and, based on the fact Fantomex has three brains, makes three bodies, one for each

so now you have three Fantomex hanging around, the heroic lady one (Cluster), the evil one (Weapon XIII) and the one who's kind of a dick, which either calls himself Fantomex or Jean-Philippe, I can't remember.

Weapon XIII bails out because hey, he's an evil dick with misdirection powers, of course he's gonna do that, and meanwhile the other two hook up and steal shit and get in three-ways with Psylocke

and then it gets kinda weird and I don't remember but I guess they got back together in the same body?

sam humphries, man, I wish you were better at writing

Inorgio's avatar reminded me, if there's one thing Bendis' run I'm thankful for it's the Cuckoo's new look.

Thinking about it, I think I like the new kids more than I realized at first. I really hope
they don't become the next Brotherhood.

Bendis' Uncanny is great. I want an omnibus.

Ugh.

That's disappointing for me, personally. I feel like his whole arc in the first volume of Uncanny X-Force was about going from the place of almost apathy to finding a real sense of morality, taking responsibility for his actions, and doing what he can to put things right.

I would be there day one for Uncanny and All New X-Men Omnibuses

I like the moment to moment writing in All-New, but I realized I was never into the actual plots. The personal drama that results from the original team being out of their time is really great, but the stuff that it leads to (as far as I've read at least) is mostly whatever.

I'll read the rest of it before Uncanny #600 hits.

Bloodborne is $40 at Best Buy ($32 after GCU). Should I bite? All I've used my PS4 for is my Blu-Ray viewings and NBA 2K15. Been itching to play a new game.

Warriors is slowly inching closer and closer.

Finally read Angela #1. Kinda cool, I guess.

It comes from a pretty natural place, it's strange at first but it makes sense. Basically he's going insane because all those things like morality and responsibility are not part of his original programming, he's supposed to be a Super-Sentinel, an incredibly handsome and marketable mutant-killing machine. He gets a massive identity crisis and he gets in a pretty fucked up place, like everyone in X-Force, because that's what X-Force is about.

Dunno if you're into the Souls games but it's a great game for sure

Bloodborne was fun, load times too crazy and the beginning drove me nuts because i'm bad at the game and they don't make summoning help or being summoned easy. I say get it.

I really hope the Warriors win this....sorry Team Messi :/

I've never played any of the Souls games but I have watched a few Youtube videos of Bloodborne and it looks fun, what with all the strafing and poke attacks.
