It's about as legit as it gets, meaning it's gonna be shit, because it's 2015 and we all need to admit Chuck Palahniuk is kinda shit, and Fight Club is actually way into its premise of manly men being manly and taking no shit from no one.

*glances at the gaming side* Eh, could be worse. Although I will say treating Marvel and DC like they're opposites with no other players in the comics industry is pretty damn silly in general.
Oh well, thanks for the info! (And subsequent lols)

There is a larger contingent of Marvel fans who shitpost every DC thread. It's simply the nature of things.
If you're into Superheroes they're basically it with a few scattered exceptions. You're right, of course, in the more general sense.
as awful an author as he is, i do think he managed to get a lot of young teen males into reading more. i think that counts for something.
oof, i forgot about.... that side of the forum.
to your second point, no one outside of this community even reads comics. i find the readers are fans of everything, including the non-big two stuff, whereas the TV/movie crowd gets a little more fanboyish.

I've only read the first trade of that pre-Lady Thor run, but I quite enjoyed it.
Palahniuk made so many wannabe poets out of shitty metalcore band singers back when he was popular. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that guy.
Good to hear! It was the same writer so I felt pretty safe going in.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
No Shazam?
I'll give Infinity Gauntlet a chance
Nah, read #1 of convergence shazam and it wasn't for me
throw some Dawson's Creek sound clips in a breakdown and call it a day

Sure if you only watched the first half of Fight Club and completely ignored the second half
where they flat out tell you that Tyler's whole philosophy on being a "man" had deadly consequences.
Something tells me that the only reason this sequel is getting made is because of a lot of people misinterpreting the themes of Fight Club. In that case I can't wait for a comic book version of Breaking Bad 2.
Edit: I only saw the movie. I have the book but haven't found the time to read it.
Edit 2: Sorry for the spoiler.

I'm gonna have to agree. Didn't have a goddamn clue what was going on, and the recap at the end of the issue didn't really help.
It's amazing
King Thor is best the best part of this book.

True, true. The idea of only caring about capes and utterly ignoring everything else is just strange to me.
I thought it was pretty solid.
Yeah, I get this. If you enjoy the comic medium then you'll read whatever comics you enjoy whereas if you just want more stories with character X you'll be more likely to limit yourself to that.
I'm talking book, and specifically book in the context of the rest of his works.
The most memorable parts of Fight Club the movie are more Fincher anyways.

Pedro is easily one of my all-time favs.

God Butcher first, then God Bomb. It is essentially one big story with those two, and it is pretty badass.

If your gonna read Godbomb then get the hardcover that collects vol. 1 and 2 of the whole story:

Edit: Ah, you fixed it before I finished posting. 
For the record, can I just say I hate how OHCs and the like are labeled? You have the vol. 1 trade and the vol 1. OHC which is probably trade vol. 1+2 or so but they're still both labeled in essentially the same manner. Not a huge issue looking at the books in person but a pain in the ass in writing.

I'd love if they didn't edit this to make it look faster in the movie. I think a 30 mph chase through the city would weirdly awesome.
I picked up the Paperbacks because I find them a bit easier to read. Thanks for showing me though!

The Batmobile chasing Joker chasing OJ.
Its a The Dark Knight Returns Adaption. Batman is a old man in this book, old people always drive way to slow, even when they are Batman.

edit: I give up. It's not longer freeza'ing links. It's pulling a Zombine.
Ive never seen Fight Club
Same. I read the book though and it was excellent.
Fun fact:
I said the same thing to one of my coworkers at Banana Republic when they were talking about the movie and they said "Oh, they made a book about the movie?"
I made the "You've got to be kidding me" face so hard at her.

It's pretty much one big story, like Hickman going from Fantastic Four to FF to Avengers/New Avengers to Secret Wars.
Hoping it's a swerve and Kyle is the secret star of the book. I mean, how do you kill a guy whose power is life?
Huh. Looks like I was wrong. His last persona was the Goblin King. He's in jail.

If they'd throw in a Robin he could be sitting there in the passenger seat trying to tell Bruce he could go faster, and then later have a conversation with Barbara about wether or not they should let him keep driving in his old age.
...My parents live with my Grandpa, it can be really tough to watch people get older.
Wait, wait. The book was not based on the movie??
Finally caught up with Game of Thrones. Had to do a mini-marathon of the last four episodes this past Sunday, though.
My Grandparents live in the flat under mine. Has advantages, but its very scary, because you really first realize how old they are when you see them everyday :/

I'm excited for a comic book movie starring crazy and homicidal super villains. This is kinda how I wanted the Wanted movie to be instead of some league of assassins story we got.
They now fixed it by giving the OHC their own store page separate from the trades but the names are still the same. I had problems trying to look up the OHC for Superior Spiderman because of this.

HAH!
MY MAN!
I feel like this movie will be bad. I don't want it to be, but I feel like it will. They are making it a Batman film.
I think that's what they're going to do, is remove his status as a White Lantern some how. I mean, he's basically the Avatar of the emotional spectrum.
Thought so

Well, I mean, it is the most widely known and influential of Miller's wildly praised Batman works, right? *coughs*
