^LOL
you might like Warren Ellis' and Stuart Immonen's Nextwave.
Also Mark Waid's Daredevil, Scott Snyder's Batman, and Wolverine and the X-Men by some dude whose name I don't remember
Gotham Central would make a fucking amazing real-life drama. Way cooler than anything actually superhero focused.
Get HBO on the line, let's do this.
This looks amazing. Is this collected? I only know of Dani through recent New Mutants issues and she does nothing to really stand out there. Probably just because of Abnett and Lannings' focus on nonsensical plotting.

gotta pay the bills I guess
OK, i officially have no idea what's going on in Morning Glories.
I wish i was trade waiting that until it ends...reading it monthly is a game of " let's try to remember what happened previously and put it in context of this issue"
I still like it though Xo
Wow that's ChurchillMan it was pretty cool when Churchill changed up his art when he drew that Hulk/ X-force story

I picked it up but haven't read it yet.Check out Mind the Gap brah.
I picked it up but haven't read it yet.
Also picked up but haven't gotten to Higher Earth. Look at this from the preview.
Does anyone know a good online comic book store, I need a few random issues of Uncanny Xmen and the unwritten but I cant find a good website.
Halp!
IMO (and I say this all the time), don't buy single issues. They're terrible value, too short and are a major time and money investment for a new reader. Instead, you should focus on trades, or collected editions as you might know them. Find a story you like the look of (a good shop will let you browse as long as you like) and buy a volume of it.
* Marvel has announced a June 6 release for it next Marvel Infinite Comic, to be included with June's Avengers VS. X-Men #6.
Following the world changing events of Avengers vs. X-Men #6, Mark Waid, Yves "Balak" Bigerel and Carlo Barberi create story featuring Cyclops and how the world is seen through his eyes.
"After the deafening critical acclaim for the first Infinite Comic, we had to bring Mark Waid back for the next one," said Marvel Senior Editor Nick Lowe. "But joining Mark this time around is Yves Bigerel and Carlo Barberi. Now, not many Marvelites may recognize Bigerel's name, but he is of huge importance to digital comics. His pen name is Balak and he made the comic that solidified for us what digital comics could be. Yves took Waid's rough idea and realized the story-telling and it's going to blow you away. Then, Carlo took Yves storyboards and knocked them out of the park!"
The comic is available in three ways: Free with the redemption of a code found in print copies of Avengers VS. X-Men #6; free with a purchase of the digital copy of Avengers vs. X-Men #6 on the Marvel Comics app and the Marvel Digital Comics Shop; available for $1.99, also on the Marvel Comics app and the Marvel Digital Comics Shop.
Well, it happened. I went in to the local comic shop today, and it was pretty awesome. I was kind of dumbstruck, as there were 4 workers there, and I was the only customer, and I kind of felt like I was intruding as I kind of entered as they were talking (they were really nice and courteous though) about stuff, but I just said I wanted to look around and it seemed all good. I must have looked at the wall, it was a big wall of comics, for like 10 minutes. I forgot about all the recommendations that Gaf made, and since I don't have a smart-phone, I was on my own. I decided to ask the guy there what he would suggest for a newbie, and he laughed and said that was a tough question. Basically he gave all the same advice you all did, meaning he asked what my favorite character was and what kind of stuff did I like, and I told him I really didn't have any favorites and liked most superheroes.
So after looking around some more, he suggested that I check out Wolverine (305), as it just got a bunch of new talent and it's a new storyline I think he said. So I did, and he told me to make sure I picked up a bunch of free comics that were left over from free-comic day. He told me the ones worth checking out, so I got them and thanked him.
It was pretty awesome I must say, so I'll list what I got:
- Wolverine (305)
- Avengers: Age of Ultron
- The New 52 (guessing it's like a preview comic-book)
- 2000 A.D. (not sure what it is)
- Another preview/compilation of Revival, Guarding the Globe, and It-Girl and Atomics
I haven't read anything yet, but I am excited!
Yay FCBD.
*reads lower posts*
First X-Men? Post AvX *tries to think if AvX is over in August* No, it is not. Weird.
Its not over but its dealing with some big events that take place. I edited my post with more info.
How do you guys feel about the Wolverine pick up?
First issue was sort of iffy, this week's was pretty visually shocking; Paul Pelletier's an odd choice to do such gory pages, but he's the reason I signed on. Don't know enough about Bunn's writing to judge what I've seen so far.How do you guys feel about the Wolverine pick up?
Hey guys, i need some recommendation. My favourites are 100 Bullets & Punisher Max (Garth Ennis). Anything you guys can recommend me?

How do YOU feel about your Wolverine pick-up? It would be a good point to start if you like it though, it's the issue where the new writer just took over, but after his first story arc ( maybe 5 issues or so?), Jeph Loeb is taking over the book for 5 or so issues to tell a Sabretooth story, and then the Bunn, the current writer, will return.
If i were to read ONE x-title, it would probably be Wolverine and the X-Men, though AvX could change everything since a lot of writers are going to move around. I don't think i enjoy wolverine quite as much solo, i like the full cast in WATXM and Aaron does a good job of adding humor to the "world".
Single issues or trades? Ennis just started a Fury Max miniseries, issue #1 should be on store shelves and has gotten pretty good reviews.
if you want to shift into dark/violent-ish cape territory, there's also Uncanny X-Force by Remender.
Ennis has a Fury Max mini, the first issue of which came out last week. He has series called The Boys which is at issue 66 right now and winding down now. Might want to see if that's your thing.
Written by Mark Waid and is a follow up story being told through Cyclop's POV post-AvX.
I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet, so I was just asking in the mean time.
Will do. I lost interest at #4. Wonder Woman, on the other hand, has been drat awesome. I seriously wish DC had gone with the pants, though.I was curious as to whether you liked your first purchase or not, not that it was bad for you to ask around.
And a wonder woman appearance in Batwoman is....intriguing. I'm glad i didn't drop Batwoman, and if anyone did, you should probably give it another chance since it did get a lot better at around issue #5.

Robert Langridge will no longer be working for Marvel or DC over ethical concerns.
*high fives creators who abandon marvel/dc* I wish them success.
It's Roger* Landridge, otherwise known as the guy who wrote Thor: Mighty Avenger
hawkeye doesn't have that claremontian charm. or a villain as badass as the demon bear. demon bear saga is my all time favourite story.
Sienkiewicz is the shit
Brahs was X force worth it this week? Price seemed too steep for me.
