Remember when Harley compared her vagina to a clown car?

I'm not sure. I'm mainly wondering if there are any arcs or storylines that I should read that I might not know about tbh. I didnt start reading most of these books until Second Coming so there are a lot of stories I missed out on that I might not know about.
I'm reading through Bendis's New Avengers run from the beginning and some of the X books as I go in order.

Secret Warriors (Hickman and Bendis) is a good series that you can read from start to end.

I picked up the first Complete Collection trade but still haven't opened it yet. It takes place during/after Secret Invasion right?
Are the Dark Avengers and Dark X-Men books worth checking out?
Was Claremonts Uncanny run in like 2008 good? Was not a big fan of his Xtreme X-men lol.

Yeah shame I had to learn about the site from this announcement. Would have been really useful.
As an aside though, The Might Thor #700 looks awesome! Really need to catch up on the series. Been waiting for the next OHC, but might just read the singles to get caught up. The latest preview with Loki looks so good.

Same. Mine is on the way with some other stuff.

No for all three. The Secret Warriors stuff takes place after Secret Invasion, but you see the team during the event.
I'm really excited to read it. I need to read JL Vol. 6 first, though.

Like every comic I've bought since the Spring, I haven't read any of the issues of Grass Kings until today, despite having bought all the singles so far. Finally sat down a read them as a Batman-break, and I think I love it? The art is very striking, and the matte pages with the thick cover is great. Story is interesting too, of course. Definitely gonna keep it on the list

How are the omnis?Got two omnis I've been waiting a while for:
Also, couldn't wait for the Metal collected edition, and a new comic shop opened by the place I work, so:
Also on a pull list for the first time in my life for the rest of the Metal issues.

His run that started in 04? It is okay. It's not Xtreme X-Men bad but it's not great either.

You can blame Gil Kane for that.

Oh man you should! You might want to read atleast the first arc before the Justice League movie. But the entire run was great. Aside from Batman it was the best part of the New 52 imo. Really liked the Throne of Atlantis arc too and never been a fan of Aquaman.
Edit: my bad, thought u meant the whole run.
Ok, wasn't sure. The art and roster all look awesome but just wasn't sure after having read some of his other stuff after coming back.

Synopsis sounds pretty interesting. Most books with this kind of setting tend to lose me at "trailer park."
They both look great. Both have nice printed art on the cover boards, thick paper stock (typical of their omnis) and very nice bindings.
Vol. 6 is the only part of Johns' JL read I haven't read, which I think contained an arc about the Amazo Virus or something. But when I read that, I will have read everything up to Darkseid War!

Is the book itself worth a read? I love OML and Lemire.
I loved every issue up to this arc.
The one going through the generations? Couldn't wait for it to be over. The rest is top notch though.
It felt like a Timetravel story with superheroes that I have read 100 times before.
Even the new artist was bad
I'm a bit behind on Metal. Still have to pick up #2 and #3 and that other stand-alone tie-in...Dawnbreaker?
Cross-posting from the Action Figures thread, I got my Hot Toys Daredevil in.

You talking shit about Guy Gardner?
Better than the arc with the Silent Order or whatever.

I like how referencing the run is an insult to it. That's subtle.
Guy Gardner's defining personality trait is that he's incredibly full of himself, so his costume being cool to him and nobody else fits pretty well tbh.

Glass was the first three volumes, yeah? It was fun. Not great or anything, but fun.

Man, that's a beautiful collection. Also noted some Scoorge Mcduck in there, glad to see that in anyone's personal lot of books. I want to buy a bunch of those, including a bunch of those Omnis myself, the problem is it'd be $1000+ to get all of them.
That's goals. I'm gonna make it almost a checklist of sorts.
Guy is one of the best lanterns, through and through.
Just got New Teen Ttians Omnibus vol. 1 for free with this offer. Other eligible omnibuses I saw were Uncanny Avengers and Mcfarlane Spidey.

They were talking about this in the artbooks thread too. Audible must be thirsty for new subs.
Sweet, thanks bro! Got McFarlane Spiderman. Wouldn't be my first choice by any means, but I already have NTT and Uncanny Avengers.

Try other omnibuses in the $50 range too. Ms.Marvel ombi v1 is also included, as is iZombie and Planetary.
Yeah I will admit I kind of rushed so as to not miss the deal, but I think I have most in-print omnis in that range that I want. At least, of the ones that were eligible for the deal. I briefly looked at X-Men Legion Omni and Brubaker Daredevil and those weren't part of the promotion. I do have the two Ms. Marvel OHCs, as well as the iZombie and Planetary omnis.
