And it worked really well for Superior Foes and Kot's Secret Avengers. I say let em. It sucks when the books end but at least they go out on a high note.

Young Avengers is another one that's probably made better for its contained length and thus being able to end on its own terms.

All good things that aren't Hawkeye must come to an end.

Hawkeye is coming to an end too, eventually

All-New Hawkeye don't count

Hawkeye isn't ever going to end. People will eventually stop asking, then they will forget about it and years from now it will just be remembered as Annie Wu's fantastic run on Kate's Hawkeye.

I'm not even bummed in a rejection kind of way (And I don't think that was the intention on her end either. I just asked her to coffee in such a casual way - like, "Hey, we should get coffee sometime this weekend!" - that she probably didn't feel like she was really cancelling on a plan. Dunno), I'm mostly bummed because I was so excited all weekend to get to hang out with her outside of the bouldering gym. I'm sure it'll happen sometime soon though. Probably next weekend or possibly even Tuesday. Plus I'm seeing her tomorrow at the bouldering gym anyways.
But yeah. Lame.

Oh well, now I have more time to read (normal books, not comics; don't get too excited) and tune my piano today.
Every time I talk about "tuning my piano" I feel like everyone must think it's a euphemism.

Shouldn't have told her about JC.

Okay: Convergence: Matrix Supergirl ended up being waaaaaaaaaay more fun than I expected. Randomly pausing in the middle of the fight to beat the shit out of Lex (her opponent even pausing for her to do so, graciously, lol) was just golden.

Sorry, dude. People dropping scheduled plans with someone to do something with someone else is always messed up. And your mom has to be the easiest person on the planet to turn down/re-schedule with. Like, come on.

I hope that works out for you. If not, don't sweat it; you seem like you deserve better than being flaked on, anyway.
 
Volume 2 of Earth One took three years to come out. I don't think Volume 3 has a confirmed release date yet.

Scott Snyder's Batman is a run most of us would recommend. It's been collected in six trades with the seventh coming out in September/October.

Johns said in a DC All Access video that Vol. 3 could be out in 2016 (possibly early 2016). He's already finished with half of the script, and Gary Frank has already drawn some of that.

You can tune your own piano? Damn I'm jealous. You are the jack-of-all-trades of comicgaf.

sorry to hear that Kipp

And being that I'm not someone to go back on my word, I picked up Animal Man again. I reread issue 5 since I know it's a tim-classic, and it was a fun little story. Onto the next issue which is where I stopped, I guess Hawkgirl is in it?
 
Guys, outside of the art is there a reason to read Detective Comics? I don't think Bucchaleto writes a very good Batman. Like, does it get better?

Anyone remember what day Freeza is released from gaf jail?

If you don't like it now then no. Fantastic art though. Great wallpaper material.
 
i need help, recently i just got into ready comics. been reading the walking dead ones and must say i have enjoyed them more then the show. I also read Batman Earth one and loved both volumes and I realized there is no word about a third volume being released? Earth 2 is a totally different story line right?

Im just trying to figure out what other Batman comics to read, i saw the darkest night ones and those caught my eye. Any other suggestions?

Yeah Earth 2 is radically different, no relation to the Earth One imprints. Go with Snyder if you're looking for a bat fix like the other person recommended, though if you like Earth One Batman check out Geoff John's other works. Curse of Shazam (no Batman) might be up your alley. Forever Evil (some Batman) as well. Johns has a sense of fun that comes across all of his stories and crazy reveals.

I've read a lot of stuff around Zero Hour but I don't think I've actually read the series itself proper. Based on your enthusiastic endorsement how can I not?

easily

I just read it 2 months ago and I think I've completely forgotten it. The only thing great about the event was Parallax Hal being completely reasonable.

Yeah, I definitely agree with that. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt 1) because she didn't know exactly when she'd be free this weekend since she was buying a car this weekend so I just told her to let me know whenever she's free and we'd get coffee (AKA it wasn't a super set-in-stone plan or something) and 2) because I really like her so of course I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt. Haha
But yeah... it's pretty easy to turn down/reschedule with your mother. Oh well.

Thanks for the encouragement though. I'm hoping it's just kind of a fluke, but we'll see what happens.

You can tune your own piano? Damn I'm jealous. You are the jack-of-all-trades of comicgaf.

Yeah! It's really time consuming, requires meticulousness, and there's a bit of an art to it since you do it all by ear rather than with an electronic tuner or something (you basically listen to the beats per second that certain intervals make to know whether or not you've tuned something right; it's pretty cool). It's so satisfying though.
I'd love to be able to do it as a job once I get good enough at it.

Kipp I'm sorry dude. At the very least it sounds like you'll get a re-schedule. It'll be okay.

Thanks for the condolences. And yeah, I'm pretty sure we'll figure out a re-schedule, so I'm not worrying about it too much. Just a bit disappointing.

Oh and also, I'm pretty sure the fact that we'll be hanging out at the bouldering gym tomorrow played some part in her feeling like it wasn't too horrible of a thing to cancel on me. To back up that theory, she said in the text "But I'll see you tomorrow at the bouldering gym, right?" or something like that.
 
I can't remember, are you reading Deadly Class? If not, you should. Sex Criminals is also great.

I have the first two trades for former on order and BHSC for the latter. And hey, at least one of those is even still actively coming out with issues so I'll that going for me too!

I really enjoyed Gail Simone's recent Red Sonja run. #1-16 which just concluded.

Well, reasonable prices for the trades, so I'll take a look through those.

Manhattan Projects!
Zero!
God Hates Astronauts!
Sex Criminals!
Casanova!
ODY-C!
Fear Agent!
Hellboy!

Pretty much anything Valiant: Harbinger; X-O Manowar; Archer & Armstrong; The Death-Defying Dr. Mirage; Ivar, Timewalker. Those are just some my favorites, but I'm not sure how they're putting out such consistently great comics across the board.
Deadly Class
Lazarus
Sex Criminals
The Walking Dead
The Fade Out
Saga
Revival
Velvet

I'll take a look into some of these. Have already done so in some cases (Deadly Class as above, Velvet, Saga)

Sounds like she gave you the cold boulder
 
Issue 6 of Animal Man was also good. Loved the end where you see the Hawkguy's life flashing by while Buddy is desperately trying to stop this bomb and Hawkman just comes and turns it off lol

So guys, I just randomly found a one-shot on Marvel Unlimited called Eminem and Punisher. As you would expect, it is literally the funniest thing ever, with Em not having a single sentence without censored swearing and freaking out when Frank shows up. Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing.

Fred Van Lente really gets handed the dirty jobs by Marvel, doesn't he?

*cough*

anyway for a laugh I read that Flash preview...I want to say it looks like something from the 90s, but the Flash had good comics back then

Hey, if it keeps him writing for Valiant...
 
The next issue is pretty messed up, especially the end.

Ha, I just read that one. I really liked how the Red Mask's flashback was drawn and colored. Being completely black and white with some red thrown in looked really nice. The ending was definitely twisted but it his conversation with Buddy before that was pretty funny with him saying "well, you don't LOOK like a bad guy to me..."

Buddy is so charming
 
Kipp, you should ask your girl if she has a hot sister and if the sister is also going to be getting lunch or whatever with her mom.

On topic, read most of Spider-Verse. Really enjoyed it but I wish Coipel had drawn more of it and that issues were in better order for this OHC.

OHC Order is completely fucked lol.

Coipel is a beast. His work is fantastic in Spider-Verse. Shamed everyone else in the book.

Kipp noooooo!
She does have a twin... ;)

Twin brother, that is.
lmao


So it turns out the next two issues of Superior Foes I had were 10 & 11, the dreaded fill ins. They weren't good, yeesh. At best, 10 had some decent moments and art. 11 was a bad job all around tho
