COMICS! |OT| April 2015. Everyone's burned out and looking for an excuse to quit.

Actually Original Sin is just "in the way" of me catching up to current issues on MU, I didn't seek it out like the other events I read. Same with Axis when I get there.
My next big ass event, whenever I decided to do another (I need to be in a particular mood to tackle these 100+ issue events) is going to be House of M I think.
But for now I'm way into reading multiple recent things again, and catching up as much as possible.

Probably one of my biggest gripes with New 52. That this pairing wasn't at all considered.

Morrison but I like Tornado's Path and that league up until it was like just Canary leading a bunch of c-listers. I liked JSA as a team more than Morrison's league. JSA felt way more cohesive, having Batman quit the team and rejoin like 3 issues later was... blegh.

I think I liked Age of Ultron more than the first movie. There was way more funny shit this time around.
.
Even Ultron was a funny motherfucker
Wait, In this GotG issue Flash (aka Venom) just said "whoa my Avengers team?" When he sees Hawkeye, Beast, Captain Britain, Black widow and Valkyrie... what Avengers book was THAT?

Just popped in to say that the Marvel Unlimited app SUUUUUUCKS. SO. BAD.
It crashed for me today. This thing definitely has bugs.
Specifically the Remender run, good comics, you can grab them
Ah I've only read the current Secret Avengers.
By the way, I hate when comics do this:
Captain Marvel isn't in the book AT ALL. Not even mentioned let alone seen.
You learn to work around all the little bugs it has. For example, I always load a comic, back out and load it again, because 9 times out of 10 that first load only shows the first 3 pages. I can only assume its a bug where it's loading the version for non-members (you can read the first 3 pages for free). Other little things like if it's taking too long to load something, like deleting a issue from your library, its provably wigged out so I don't even wait, I just back out and do it again. All those little things drove me nuts in the first few months

Comic Lawyer: Well, technically sir, it simply states: "And now Captain Marvel". It does not state "And now Captain Marvel... in this issue".

Bendis gonna Bendis.
Just got back from it (double showing) myself, and yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Not a perfect movie, but a fun one with plenty of flash. Maybe I'll have more coherent/thorough thoughts tomorrow, but for now I'm tired and need to wake up early, so off to bed for now.
But the big question I need to ask is
how exactly does the ending of IM3 reconcile with this in the slightest. They just really don't work together at all.

yeah, I dropped the book after 2 issues.

Best to simply
forget that either of the Iron Man sequels even exist. They were both piles of shit. Granted, IM2 was the smaller pile of shit, but still.
Don't like any sort of trinity shipping tbh.
Not a fan of one of the best pairings ever?

yesssssssssssssssssssssss
everyone keeps talking about Loki, it's high on my MU-to-read list, but i did buy #1 in print and it wasn't anything special. I'm' going to assume it's a Deadpool situation where it just got a poor start.
It came off the back of Young Avengers and Journey Into Mystery before that, both runs written by the same author. I've only read YA myself, but yeah, Kid Loki is pretty great.

Yup, its always fun when you get to page 4 and have to back out then click it to read again so the comic loads past page 3. Fun times, wish they'd fix that, its been like that since I started using MU in December.
I used the pic of myself and Cheska. Says I'm 24. Yay, I don't feel so old!
I'm 25 and the thing said I look 37, I almost cried. I don't look that old!

Is Fraction's Hawkguy still good right now? I stopped reading after volume 2 and i heard mixed things about the following issues...
I noticed you say Haha a lot. You must be very happy. How many of those posts contain that?

I really liked it. I also felt it was better than the first, but yet something was...missing. I can't explain it, though. I was rather tired when I saw it, so that probably has something to do with it.
The delays are frustrating, but Hawkeye is fantastic through and through. If you liked it up to Vol. 2 I can't see why you'd be disappointed with what follows that. The concept issues are incredible and Kate has some solo adventures that are super fun.
There's a reason folks are desperate for the finale.

Damn good choice.
Gillen tweeted a pick of the omnibus for it last week or so. I'd want that, if anything. It's that good, I think. I have the trades digitally on CMX as I didn't have MU then.
There's a science behind it. No weird angles and really good lighting are needed for it to judge your face accurately. After I took a shower and shaved I took 3 in the bathroom and it said I was 25, 20, 22. Which is typically what most people say. Younger 20 year olds think I'm their age and they freak out when I tell them I'm 25.

Are the following Image books any good?
Wayward
Copperhead
Supreme Blue Rose
I've been browsing for quality books to read and those caught my eye

Someone is going to say yes, but I'm here to tell you no.
Wayward- Neat idea, but the book is highly forgettable.
Copperhead- Has it's moments, but the book is kind of crap.
Supreme Blue Rose- Sometimes a book is obtuse for no good reason. It's gorgeous to look at, but the story is a dud.
First two are middling in quality. Supreme has lovely art but I couldn't understand a god damn thing that was going on.
I liked Copperhead most but it's not saying much.
Thanks guys. I am really happy I got the one I wanted.
