Sure, it starts off innocent enough, then after reading through the Archie catalogue you end up making this:
wtf, throwing out my kids sonic comics
DC should do something awesome and make a collection called that
oh dunno, she had random stuff in the First Class books and Spider-girl..and I think in a Power Pack book we got. Oh and in that Girl comics thing they did..they should do that again. I always meant to buy Small Favors and and Banana Sunday but never did..
Spider-girl..I can't believe I threw those out..shit I think I trhew out my Legion books I gotta go look.

The Alan Moore thread made me remember his For the Man Who Has Everything and how I've yet to read a better story involving the big 4.

Has anyone purchased comic boxes from bags unlimited? I'm needing to completely overhaul my entire long box set to plastic and it's seems the ones from bags unlimited are cheaper than BWC. I just can't find any feedback online if they're good

That is a really good story
I don't even know if my dispatches are getting through. Help
I lol'd.
Not sure if I was having rotten luck or not but I ordered some BCW bags/boards off Amazon (as I've done so in the past) and the cut of some of the bags are shorter than what it used to be. I'm able to fit my board in but it's very tight, leaving no room to put a comic in there. I e-mailed Amazon to return it and they sent me another. So, I get the second shipment and the same thing happens! This time, I decided to bag a few more than the last shipment and out of 15 bags, only 4 can be used to fit a comic book in comfortably. *sigh* Maybe I'll just buy some Silver bags and/or Silver boards to ensure that my books fit.

Daredevil #6
An Original Sin tie-in. Matt sees flashes of past events insinuating his father had physically/verbally abuse his mother when he was an infant. Matt goes on a search for his mother (Sister Maggie) seeking answers to see if what had transpired was true.
There are some really powerful imagery in this book, especially with the little details that Javier Rodriguez manages to capture. I'm always a bit skeptical when my ongoings are interrupted by whatever events/crossovers are happening but this one isn't so obtrusive given how well it's written. Also, letterers don't get enough credit but I was thinking of this as I was reading Daredevil #6 and Joe Caramagna's work is fantastic. I guess I shouldn't be surprised seeing how he does the lettering on a few other ongoings that I pull monthly (Ms. Marvel and Cyclops) among many other Marvel books.

I wonder what the reading order for Hawkeye is gonna be in the omnibus. Cuz the numbering is fucked, regardless of all the delays. I guess you can break them up into storytelling styles.
"Happy Fun Times with Clint and Kate", pop action comic adventures, Hawkeye #1-5, Young Avengers Presents #5
"aw, Grills, no", Rashomon guest starring pizza dog, Hawkeye #6-11
"Kate's Summer Vacation", pulpy L.A. crime novels/journey of self-discovery, Hawkeye Annual #1, #14, 16, 18, 20
"Clint Barton Gets it Together", Born Again essentially, right down to the cavalry arriving in the final two climatic issues, Hawkeye #17, 12-13, 15, 19, 21-22

Is Venom still worth reading after Rick Remender leaves?

Sometimes it's the simple things.

I think, haven't read it.
That writing at the bottom is pretty terrible, so I can believe it was from Widening Gyre

Just sent in my ballot too. August was actually a really good month.
You're better off not reading it. Smith talks about Batman better than he could ever write him.

Really has been. Haven't read any real letdowns from my pull list. I'm getting to the point where I need to do a small pull list purge, though, which is going to probably be my most difficult one yet, as very few titles are in the mediocre zone that I could safely cut before.

Kevin Smith is not a good Batman writer. I say that as a Smith fan.

Whoa whoa whoa. Wha? Harley #9 made my list.

I'm glad that so many people are discovering how awesome this series is.
It's absolutely wonderful. I wish IST would hurry the fuck up and ship vol 2. I would have had it from Amazon 5 times over already.

I think the new book comes out in October or something, doesn't it?
Next on my list.
I wonder who convinced you to do that?
Also, please don't search for Blacksad statues. It will only end with you crying.
;_;
EDIT: Wasn't there someone on here who had a Blacksad/Smirnov avatar?
I know...I was ready to pull my wallet out and everything...
Weekly is so cool ._.
Edit: maybe with a new book on the way we will get some new ones :/

I was having a tough time selecting my three as well but I sent my votes in. There were at least half a dozen books that could have made my list.
Next month will probably be easier because of DC's gimmick issues. If it was anything like last year's villains month, only a few were tolerable while the rest sucked.
Edit: If anyone's interested in preordering Funko Pop's Dancing Groot and/or Howard the Duck, they're available on Amazon.com. Credit goes to Diggeh from the Funko OT.

Okay, wait. Is the Incredibles movie based off the Incredibles from Top 10? Or is it just coincidence?

Pls hold a poll for best-comic-read-last-year. I want to nominate Doom Patrol for 1, 2 and 3. What a ride.
Dorothy. . She should have stayed. At least Kay, Cliff and Rebis got a relatively happy ending.
. She should have stayed. At least Kay, Cliff and Rebis got a relatively happy ending.Brad Bird was working on the concept in the early nineties so without knowing a thing about top 10 I'd say it was a coincidence.

Makes sense, just caught me off guard to hear it mentioned in the Top 10. They don't seem to be related.

Maybe. I'm pretty darn sick today and haven't accomplished a whole lot. If I do post, it won't be complete and it won't show up until after I wake up from this nap I'm about to take.
