Lists like those make me realize that I 1) love comics SO MUCH! And 2) love comics too much.

I can't believe so many of you fine comic purchasing individuals (and couples) are going to miss out on Simon Mazafakan Spurrier's
X-Force #1. Un. Be. Lievable. Something legendary 'bout to pop off and you're gonna miss it, mang.

Oh man, I don't even know who is on the team. It doesn't matter. They will be in Spurrier's house now and their existence will finally have meaning.

I was kinda thinking about it. Maybe just to see Marrow. And the Noto variant is awesome-possum.
I'm more curious to see if Scarlet (which I think is a book you might really like) actually makes it out on time. So far there's only the first hardcover and two additional issues. It comes out so irregularly.

I'm on the fence for this, maybe the (lettered) preview pages will be the push I need to get it.

That's the greatest 80s NES boxart ever. Fuck, how is that the variant and not the regular cover?

Besides the first 15 issues or so which were a bit too crude for my liking (I mean, I know that's Ennis' thing and I like it for the most part, but it's just a bit too over the top for my taste in a few spots in the earlier issues and crosses the line between entertaining and shock value for me in certain instances) I absolutely loved it. The crudeness tapers a bit to a level where it's fun rather than too much and it focuses more on the characters and their relationships (which is the high point of the series for me by far).
I've read (and greatly enjoyed) quite a bit of Ennis and it's definitely my favorite thing he's done.
...I just remembered that my avatar is a character from Preacher. I swear my review isn't horribly biased.

lol i got no pull. cancelled everything when i stopped going to my other shop. i think i'm a trades guy now?
i'll have to flip through it when it drops
the art tho

I've got that pre-ordered. Can't wait.
I highly recommend his X-men Legacy if you haven't already read it.
Haha, I thought that looked familiar. Did a double take there.
I'm thinking of getting the first volume to check it out. I did it for Fables and enjoyed it a lot to keep going with it.
You should try to get those two in one paperbacks for preacher. Better value. Only bad thing is that the two in one paperbacks aren't all out yet.
Got that planetary omnibus!

lol ok I'll try to look at it
Is the series already over?

oh yea like 10+ years ago
also I think the delays in Hawkeye are nothing. The waits between Planetary was like Battlechasers bad.
Well... at least I don't have to wait for new issues to come up in the middle of an arc. That's good.

Were you the one I asked about Alex + Ada about before? I know I asked someone. I continue to be curious about it because of my secret shame that I was fond of Chobits.

FUCKING BRILLIANT.
btw I'll say it again in case anyone missed yesterday - if anyone has a copy of the Preacher HC vol 4 they can bear to part with I will pay handsomely. Or at least fairly.

Yep, it is so good that I forgot Kieron Gillen was writing it. Seriously, Tumblr broke that man. This is a great book, Ryan Kelly is schway.

Okay, here we go. I'm all digital, trade waiting everything that's not DC or Marvel. Arranged in alphabetical order for your convenience:

Hnng. Sitting looking at the new previews for the TMNT series that IDW does. I love Ross Campbell's art so much, I just really didn't like Keatinge's writing on Glory, so long time since I've had a new Campbell book. Does anyone read the TMNT series/is there anything remarkable about it at all? I really don't need to jump on more books, not even sure why I'm looking at this.

I want Ross Campbell to draw some porno comix, he would rock that so hard. His people are so fleshy.
Not at all, the story predates the existence of Bishop as a character by like 10 years.

How does someone like J Scott Campbell make money? Does doing four or five variants a year really do it? Brah should be on The Untold Adventures of Gwen Stacy book or something.

Must be another 5 or 6 months I think, we've not finished act 2 yet, and they're skipping a month to do that Batman Eternal advert - uh I mean preview thing.
I'd read that :/
Damn, I thought it was nearly over. Not that I am not enjoying it but I liked Death of the family more. His current day Batman is awesome.

Which makes me sad, since DoFP is one of my favorite X-Men stories, and was perfect how it was originally written.
BLLLLaaarrgggGLLLLeeeee is my reaction to Cyclops being anywhere near the top 10, let alone number 1.
Colossus should have been in the top 3, and get the fuck out of here with Magneto, Emma Frost, and Beast in the top 10.

Can we talk about how disappointing The Green Team was for the few that bought it? I mean, built in the premise of: what if you could buy super powers or be a super hero? Only to take the most myopic approach of them having glorified fuxking Iron Man suits!? Books with teen superheroes are such a disappointment, why can't they get them right? Other than ghe obvious answer of having forty and fifty year olds write them....

That's certainly a better ending than Threshold was given.
I like it, it's fitting. Rafa, I agree that they should have gone crazier, like, bought super serums or hired Captain Cold to gene splice them.

Its not crap brah, its schway.
If it's from IDW, you made the right choice. It's really good.

I take too much time typing my posts...
Read the Earth 2 annual this morning, and we all successfully guessed the identity of the new Batman
. We also see the first mention of
in the N52 as well as a
reference. It was a neat origin story for the new Batman, Taylor continues to impress me on this book.

The former.
This week's Red Lanterns was excellent as well. Guy's new look is perfect.
