Who else doesnt have powers besides no name SHIELD people? I like the whole,"My life outside the Marvel universe" more than trying to fit in the superheroes.

The Avengers writing is pretty heavy handed right now. Cap just needs to bring back The Initiative if he wants to get bigger. That Hawaiian team looked chill. Hope the Liberteens show up in Venom.
And if we can talk about DC comics, Talon, Amethyst and Team Seven are all great books. I'm hyped for the roof for Vibe and Threshhold.

Talon has been pretty good. Curious to see how long he goes until meeting Bruce.
I remember reading they meet sometime in the next 2 or 3 issues. It'll be interesting to say the least.
What's Team 7 like? You're the first I've seen talk about it.
So Peter David's had a stroke..

My hate for him as Hawkeye grew every time he snapped his bow into place...god it looked so cheesy.

It's not like anyone would have done well in that role. He barely had a part until the end. About as much of a part a random professor from Thor.
"We were on vacation in Florida when I lost control of the right side of my body. I cannot see properly and I cannot move my right arm or leg. We are currently getting the extent of the damage sorted out and will report as further details become clarified."
That's all anyone else has posted. I doubt he'd have posted more.

Peter David, brah made Aquaman cool again.
Amethyst isn't that good mang. It's alright but it hasn't gone anywhere yet. Beowulf is better so far.

Renner was pretty much perfect for movie Hawkeye. A non-actor for a non-character.

You shut your damn gob.
Animal Man #15 and Swampy were okay, but they are still dropped after Rotworld wraps.
Invinicible 98 made me feel like i didn't read 97, it was a decent jump in tone from the previous issues end. Liked it, but it seemed really forced, a " we are doing this NOW" tone as if an alarm clock to this plot point went off and it just suddenly happens.
Walking Dead 105ish - Kirkman is going all-out trying to establish
He's doing a decent job but it's hard for me not to see through it. This series is highly consumable even if it's not the best book on the shelf. I'm interested to see what happens on a regular basis as opposed to opening up a Batbook and trying to care what dumb shenanigans are going on.

You could say that for most of the characters in Avengers.

I've heard it's pretty hard for anyone to enjoy Superman Earth One.

Soon.
volume 1 was decent but disappointing
volume 2 was unbearable
sidenote:
Green Lantern #15 was fun, but it's incredibly disappointing that Geoff won't, or can't, go back to telling actual stories in his book and DC relies exclusively on events involving books i don't read because they aren't good.

Hey ComicGAF, how is Nowhere Men? I need another series to get into...
Also - I am in love again with Hawkguy. 6 was a return to form for me. Aja is god tier, I love his work. Is the Immortal Iron Fist run that he and Fraction did as good as the Hawkguy series?

Definitely as good, better just because there's more of it for you to read. Hawkguy could definitely surpass depending on how long Fraction and Aja stay on. The art in IIF is just fucking draw dropping at times, it almost feels like a different Aja. Also even after Fraction and Aja leave Iron Fist it stays really good and wraps up the story in a superb way. I don't like Travel Foreman but I found his art mostly inoffensive during that part.

Yeah, I love those comics a lot. Watching a young Frank Miller in his 20's doing Daredevil/Wolverine/Ronin basically mashing up shit he likes together - Eisner, Lone Wolf and Cub, Moebius, Kurosawa, sf, NINJAS, film noir, kung-fu movies, Kirby, Ditko, female body builders - and distilling them into comic form is real fuckin' awesome. I like those Bendis/Maleev and Brubaker/Lark Daredevils quite a bit but even disregarding Born Again (TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE BABY) those cats ain't Frank Miller.
hmmm you just reminded me that i should forget about waiting for a WATXM omni and just get the back issues during this sale. I already have the recent ones that included the code starting with issue 13, so that would still leave a 4 issue gap
Might keep waiting for the print collection...The bolded have been read and they've done nothing for me. Especially All-Star
You bolded Red Son and All-Star...
I can't even...I need to lay down...someone hold me...

If the bolded didn't do anything to you, I don't think you're going to ever get into Superman solo.
Maybe some of the World's Finest with Supes/Batman?

First you need to buy the shoes from Journeys that ApiderJerusalem and I got.
Ay of you brahs enjoy kids comics? The JLU and Avengers are pretty fun and get back to telling a complete story. USM is better than the show but that isn't saying much.

I just got Allstar Superman and I'm hoping it is a good story to read for my first Superman comic.

If birthright does nothing for you then it's a lost cause. Big blue just isn't for you.
The Atlantis Chronicles - Time and Tide - Peter David's Run (Aquaman vol. 5 1-46) in that order.
And yes, like Rafa said, get your Aqua-kicks.
I really like the Adventure Time comics.
Thanks man, will check them out.
Those Aqua-Kicks are hot. Need to find in size 12.5

I did the same thing, same situation. If you want a laugh, check out how much those four missing issues are.

Hell yea, my shoes are crazy awesome!
and yea I like a lot of the kids comics. I loved First Class and the Marvel Adventures stuff. I let my dude get one whenever I go get my books and he got me hooked back into some.
I've been grabbing some old Batman and JLU ones off comixology, loving it.
yea those were great. That series got me back into comics back then.. also started my "Trinity"... Aquaman/Supergirl/Nightwing
somehow Wally and Kyle are in that too. ;o

Another thing that I forgotten about this book is that's it's FUNNY. You think in the quest of unending misery for Matt Murdock that seemed to come out of Miller's run(specifically, Born Again), they forgot how much levity and comedy relief there is in this book.
#175, has this wonderful two-pronged fight sequence of Elektra vs Kigiri and DD vs 4 swordsmen, that's thrilling as it is inventive, but in the middle of all that we also get these humorous asides in the court room where Foggy has to present the case by himself, and it's hilarious! #178 is a Luke Cage/Power Man guest star issue, which is light and breezy as anything in the Mark Waid run, and begins with this panel(gotta love:
Daredevil, smiling, enjoying life, having a good time! I mean, even as cynical, nasty, destructive and brutal as Born Again was, the last 1/3rd is Murdock coming back from that shit and even getting a happy ending!
