I haven't read the comic but do you think the MJ stuff is Slott trying to recall this:
?
No. But that works as a defense anyways.

They've gotta be setting it up where carlie/mj realize something fishy is going on.
I got two pages into Batwoman #15 before i put it down, it's going to be easy not buying this book monthly anymore.
No....no
I'm pretty sure Axel is speaking of sales confidence, because if anyone wants to pretend to be a rational person, they would know that AvX was in no way a critical success. Marvel events are destined to be terrible and i have little faith in Trinity Wars too.
- latest Axel in Charge about 2012.

If everyone in Peter's life comes together to try and fix all this it will be the all time greatest Spider-Man story ever. That's on some Jed Bartlett type shit, no kidding.

Yea that issue was pretty bad, I wont drop it just yet though.

Someone needs to hit him with a rolled up newspaper and tell him to cut back on the events
Shit bro, I thought that Maggie issue was hella boring too but how you gonna drop dem JHWIII issues?
Seriously though the last couple issues of that have been almost all long-winded, wordy exposition in narration boxes. They've got Batlady and Wonder Woman teaming up in one issue, we're ready for them to go crack skulls and whoop on some mythological asses and they run a MAGGIE SIDE STORY?! It doesn't even make me mad, just disappointed.

Agreed Batwoman is becoming a slog

I haven't really liked Batwoman since issue #6, i thought i'd enjoy the Wonder Woman team up so i kept pre-ordering but that backfired, i find it to be joyless. I do like JHW's art though, but since i sell my single issues and don't get to keep the art, the story is the biggest driver. Deadpool is the next book on notice, stopped ordering after issue #5.

Pretty sure JHWIII is only doing art on the book for a couple more issues

I feel like that would be a very spider-man-like twist to close out that status quo change. Although since very few people know his secret identity these days it probably won't happen.

I loved the Maggie side story. Although it still doesn't touch Elegy. Batwoman #0 (the first 0, not the most recent one) and 15 are my favorite issues besides the Elegy issues.
Honestly this is exactly what I am expecting to happen eventually. We get a year or so of Ock and then this. I mean in every interview about this no one likes the idea until Slott lays out his plan then they love it. So there has got to be something we don't know yet.

That's because they go back and write jokes after the art is done. Sad that these VH1 talking heads were able to make Deadpool a top four comic...

Anyone remember that link to those in depth conversations on Claremont's X-Men?
I'm needing to revisit the awesome.

Bitch how dare you troll by dragging Brian Posehn's in the mud. He's a stand up legend you butthole.
Writing off Batwoman because of a boring issue that had little to do with the story is dumb. How fickle you chuckleheads are.
Black Beetle was also super dope, added to pull list for sure. Dat art.

Well, there's a few I know:
Jason Powell's issue-by-issue analysis of UXM gave me a whole new appreciation for the run. Just keep going back to go further back into the run
Teebore is currently doing the entire X-run, he's in the middle of the Romita Jr era
David Uzemari and a friend of his were talking about Claremont's X-Men and Morrison's JLA here, but it hasn't been updated in a year
Love or hate Deadpool but he's a fairly unique comic character with little competition. I think it must be extremely difficult to write a superhero comedy book, that's why it's hit or miss, but for somebody looking for some decent humor in a comic there isn't a lot of choices out there.
I'm writing off the story too Xo.

Nice man, Chew is the funniest comic I've ever read. I love all the weird pictures in the backgrounds in some panels. Beautiful art and just unique as fuck.

I need to reread the Poyo one shot.
I don't think Marvel is willing to risk sales for a Remendered Deadpool. It's a shame really. He's Marvels impossible man, goofball i guess.

Hawkeye is the FUBU of hipster comics. Saga seems to be getting that way too.

I suppose this might be a good place to ask this. So I'm looking to sell some older(and newer) comics, which, if any, of the online price guide sites out there(I'm currently looking at comicspriceguide.com) are regarded as being quality, as far as keeping up on changing prices i.e. rising and falling values of comics over time?
A related question, what is a similar site that's regarded as good for actually selling comics?
This is the first time I've ever looked into the online arena of comic book prices and selling.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: And so as to not completely break discussion, how about that latest issue of Batman eh? Seriously though, I'm really curious to see how the rest of the "Death of the Family" arc plays out. I've only read the story that been in Batman, doesn't it flow through the other Bat-titles as well? If so, what's the word on those? Required reading or just supplementary story stuff?

I'm just so not a Superman fan and I tried my damnest to be. I really want to like him as a character but I just can't.
I'll add it to the collection. To be honest I fell out of DC outside of the Bat family.

Rafa is the FUBU of hipster comic GAF. Popular doesn't mean inherently bad, any more than unpopular means something is good.
Hawkeye just happens to be popular and amazing. Let's enjoy the ride as long as we can.

Hey, are all the Marvel NOW announcements done, or do we have another month?
The first trade is out for New Guardians, but honestly you can just jump on with the zero issue as that's when the current arc started.

While this looks funny, it's one of the laziest copypaste-y and bad drawings I've ever seen in Marvel comics. Is the whole series drawn like this?

It's an art style, one that suits the series well, mind you.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
This segment of the issue is literally a skit on the old Marvel Arcade beat-em ups. Its comic artwork being used as sprites, so yes, its copy paste. In the full issue it works perfectly, bro.

Hawkeye should have been the Marvel tv series. I dunno if Renner would have done it though.

Having the Marvel TV Series focus on non-powered heroes would make a lot of sense from a budget point of view. Maybe after we see how the current series goes.

Live Action Bros. Think about it.
No more archery shows please! CW already has Arrow and now they're developing Sherwood based on Robin Hood. I love Hawkeye but I've had enough fucking bows all over the damn place!

He's so shit in like every movie. No idea why they casted a guy with no charisma as Marvel's dork.
