C'mon guys, the bell line is clearly a reference to the Metallica song "For Whom the Bell Tolls". The event is called *Metal* after all!

Edit: Damn.

Wow I'm shocked that the $6 Marvel one shot didn't sell well at a store where Marvel books have never sold that well

Metal OHC whennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[LordOfLore]

Marvel might be taking the Kirby feud a bit too far.

Metal OHC whennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Waiting for DC OHCs. Might want to wait for the event to be more than 2 issues in then wait until the end. Add 8 months and there you go.

Flash Rebirth OHC came out in June/July vol 2 is May 2018 for a double shipping book. By the time we get issues 13-26 or some shit Flash Rebirth will be on issue 47-50

Finally read Marvel Legacy #1 and it was...boring

The reveal would’ve been amazing had I not had it spoiled in here

Also, it’s obvious now that the

family are coming back. About time.

I think the latter thing is a bigger deal than the thing that was actually spoiled beforehand. Anyway, I thought Legacy was pretty good, but Murder Machine blows it out of the water.

man what the fuck

 

[Vic_Viper]

One of the best parts of DCs Rebirth one shot was how the next week all of the books released were continuing with the threads laid out. Legacy was great but I just feel like all the momentum was just wasted. Aside from Guardians and maybe Thor, it doesn't feel like anything has changed or is going anywhere new.

It was a great issue but I do t want to go out and get anything I wasn't reading already.

I agree but I'm happy about both

Going to read murder machine later

CBR thinks the King/Fabok thing is a Rorschach story.

I say those kind of stories are unlikely to even be announced before we’ve read the first issue of Doomsday Clock.

At $6, I didn't expect Legacy to do anything other than what it did. Decently enjoyable, with a great return for

Yeeeeesssss, Issue At Hand is back.

What's some good comic YouTubers to follow? DC all access is great

Strip panel naked is great.

As promised earlier my modest thought bubble haul, mix of stuff bought and stuff I took to get signed. The print is Jen Bartels take on Saga and the sketch is John Allison of Daisy from Giant Days (ha take that all you San Diego full page commission guys)

Thanks, yeah it probably is for me, for UK cons that are all about the comics I'd say that and London Super Comic Con are the best two and for me the Thought Bubble line up was better this year (helps its only about an hour out from where I live as well)

He can hang with 90's Nomad, travelin' trucker, and Hyperion, travelin' trucker.

I remember being told by a friend that the Hyperion solo that we had not long ago was trash.

So you think the spin off's won't happen until 3 months after the #1?... Because that's how solicits and orders work.

 

[Einchy]

A Rorschach story by Tom King?

 

[Sandfox]

Given what Johns said about Doomsday Clock being standalone the book is probably something else.

...what the
why would this be flaring up now? anything recent to cause them pushing this? ugh

yeah, i didn't really want dude back but they did it right, and agreed - book was pricey but enjoyable, exactly what i'd signed up for

still, reading alex alonso's "EVER WANT TO SEE THESE THINGS HAPPEN?!" bit on the last page reminded me that we really should move on from dude at some point

oh man, look at that lineup! fuck, i have like 0 chance at getting one of these, but really cool to see nonetheless

Anyone else think the Metal One-Shots are better than the actual issues of DC Metal so far? Just way more tightly written (the exposition on Metal is unbearable) and far less dependent on you having seen other things in DC.

I agree so far

I'm loving all of it. But of course the issues that focused on the origins of a single character are going to be more focused. That's just common sense.

Snyder also having a problem overdoing exposition is also an issue. Dude can't help himself.

They are, but Metal as a whole isn't good to me.

 

[Lashley]

i like metal but i miss a lot of references

 

[BKatastrophe]

Same. I've said before that I wish I was an old DC head, because then I could appreciate this stuff a lot more.

I love it to death though. Feels like when I was a kid and I had to look in a dictionary or ask someone to find out words I didn't understand when I'd read books.

Can’t say I agree even though I enjoy the one-shots.

I admit to skimming through the exposition and narration sometimes because of this

This isn't wrong.

It's pretty much one of his biggest problems

I do hope they don't say that he is kinda of a piece of shit

Though same guy who made Omega men so I'm not worried

 

[BKatastrophe]

I love the setup for Batman The Dawnbreaker but it is drawn by a literal fan of the nazi lifestyle and that's killing my hype right quick

I'm gonna back up a page:

Van Sciver is a nazi?

I guess he was accused of, but he came out saying that is BS. Seems like he just more so an idiot.

 

[MHWilliams]

The Casting felt stronger than Metal has been overall. That said, Snyder is very smart about providing enough moments to make you forget that the rest of the issue is just okay. It's like talk-talk-exposition-talk-JUSTICE LEAGUE VOLTRON-talk-talk. You remember the big moment more than anything else and the rest isn't bad, it's not amazing either.

I wish Justice League Voltron had been the actual event
