It's worth it. The trades of the series I read this year are up there with the best stuff I've read all year.

All but confirmed. I think it was part of some leak that said they had 3 events planned before the end of the year and it got Olympics right. Halloween and Christmas after that.

You know, I'd love a Square Enix event/crossover. Give each character 1 costume based on a hero/villain and 1 based on a FF Job. Helps that SE handle Overwatch in Japan and have streams with Blizzard all the time.
Witch Mercy with broom staff. Pls.

I can understand that. It can be hard to take certain moments seriously when they look like Crash Bandicoot trying to talk.
I stopped after the last arc because I was so disappointed. Same with International. I'm just waiting for the new shit at this point.
Do people dislike deep-dish?

You haven't read DC: The New Frontier?!?!
haha nope, never! I know, I know. After the Parker adaptations (which I really recommend, the hardcover collections are really nice), I always meant to check out his DC stuff but it's just a in a long list of things haha I have trouble keeping up with my current stuff, never mind older cape stuff. Anything else you would recommend?
Batman Ego and Selina's Big Score, both of which are in Batman: Ego and Other Tails (coming soon to deluxe edition format). It also has a couple of other small stories.
There's also his stuff on The Spirit, which is good
You haven't read DC: The New Frontier?!?!
That's such a great and enjoyable series. It's like an expertly crafted love letter to the characters.
Yup, it and Planetary are my top two comic books.

Holy shit, amazon says the trade is 520pgs, is that right? How many issues was it??
Seven issues. But the first six issues (the actual series, since the seventh was a bonus issue that he put out years later) are 64 pages long each. It also had tons of bonus content including a bunch of annotations by Cooke.

Pretty much all of my loot boxes now are duplicates. I'll buy more when there's another event, but lately most everything I get is a double, leading to me getting a measly 10-15 credits per. Last decent thing I got was Reaper's Plague Doctor skin and Ana's Wasteland skin. I think I've got most everything I wanted. Skins, emotes and otherwise.

Right okay haha I thought it was 6 issues but was having trouble reconciling the length okay well I've noted it down and those others might make good Xmas list stuff cheers man, and pig for the added thoughts. Can't really say why I've never got to it, because it does look great
.
shouldn't mention I haven't read planetary ha
Donnie, you're slacking. Well, I'll forgive you since there's so little of the Mignola-verse stuff I've read. We both need improvement.Donniewahlberg

Haha maybe in the new year we can do a dual challenge or something haha, if you read all the way through Hellboy I'll do planetary. I like a lot of ellis stuff too (fell!) but just never got to it.

That cliff hanger at the end of Deadly Class Volume 2 is cruel. i need Volume 3 NOW. The bit where Marcus attempts
Volume 1 was great but the second arc was even more enjoyable.
a fart and ends up with more than he bargained for made me laugh more that it should have.

That literally had me in stitches, and I really don't laugh out loud at comics very often, I laughed until my sides hurt. Really good.
Love this show so far. Easily in my top three of all of MCU Netflix

If you think the end of that volume is cruel...
Buckle up!
Pretty sure it was spoiled for me earlier in the thread so I'm expecting shit to hit the fan even more.
Multiple levels of shit will hit the fan before you get caught up. All of it awesome.
A price drop may happen at some point if they deem it necessary, but returnability never will.

DC will probably even back off of it once they drop the Rebirth part, if they stay as positive as they have been.

I'm gonna get Volumes 3 and 4 and start buying the singles. Too good to have to trade wait.
DC is only doing it for the first few issues of books and there was a reply to that Big Bang Comics lines of tweets about a guy knowing store owners with 40 long boxes worth of Rebirth books to return lol. Someone needs to put a proper infrastructure in place for returnability, but it's never going to happen.
Good plan.
RepairmanJack

Yeah, I've heard a lot of places have a shit ton of them. I was surprised to hear the first Rebirth book was getting a 5th printing. Are people just stockpiling a bunch and waiting to return all at once? That's going to suuuuuck.
How's that even happen?? 40 long boxes worth? That's absolute insane. Wouldn't that be like 10-12,000 issues?

Flash
I really liked this issue as a way of showing how insane and brutal Godspeed is. We saw it before a little bit with how he dealt with his brother's killer but that could have been emotionally fueled. This issue sheds all of that possibility and shows him as a complete lunatic. I could have used less Wally and Barry whining though.
Constantine
This issue kind of went nowhere for it being a monthly book. I like what I'm reading but it seems not much happened.
Suicide Squad
Still loving it, this time the back story was pretty good as well.
Titans
I feel like this book doesn't know what aspect of the story to cover and it is getting screwed by trying to cover both. It attempts to deal with the overall mystery and not much gets answered but then it also seems to try to deal with the fact that these people barely remember Wally and their past together but then it gets interrupted by the other half. I just wish this was handled better.

Some retailers order an insane amount of books because they can just send them back and force DC to eat the cost/bury them in the desert with no risk to themselves.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Dropped Flash and Constantine. Constantine seemed dull and Flash's only hook was Godspeed's identity which I guessed in the first issue so fuck that.
I agree with SS, a surprise hit for me.
Also agree with Titans, the story with Kadabra is dull. Rather it focused on the watchmen.

I feel like I may be being too apologetic for Flash. I completely agree it is really dull a lot of times, and I was hoping once Godspeed ID was revealed that it would maybe pick up a bit, but I can see this issue being completely dull if you don't give a shit about how Godspeed is other than him just being the villain. Half this issue I was bored to tears. Barry running away.

Someone recommend a Comic to me that is pretty much standalone please!
It can be a couple issues or volumes even but if possible, finished, and contained in one book or at the most a couple TBPs (think stuff like Six gun Gorilla, Locke and Key or whatever) .

Ivar, Timewalker (3 trades or 1 deluxe)
Buzzkill (1 trade)
Ghost Fleet (2 trades)
Lashley

If it improves I'll pick it back up
Shame, since Godspeed's design and name is badass
In the spirit of Halloweenie i'm going to suggest Wytches. You can probably get the trade physical or digital for about $6.
Hey comic-gaf I was moving a bookshelf and re-sorting some stuff and came across these. Totally forget I had them back during my floppy days.
They are all first print, think they are worth anything? Not going to sell them but just wondering.
