Thors looks pretty cool. I've never been into the character and I haven't read any previous books but the idea of a Thor police force sounds interesting

But did you read the first 100+ issues of Fables first like all those online reading orders say to do? D:
His enjoyment is basically artificial. You can only enjoy it after reading those issues and voting republican.

Someone spoil Fables #150 for me pls.
Just a one word answer will do. Is it a happy ending?
No way am I reading the rest of the #70 issues if I don't get my happy ending.

It's very good, one of the best ongoings at DC. It's set after the Nightwing Nu52 run, so way after Traps and Trapezes.
Nu52 Nightwing isn't that great, by the by. It has its moments, but it was ultimately forgettable.

After. Takes place after Forever Evil.

Grayson is pretty good. It's a bit overhyped around here, but solid nevertheless.
It's after Forever Evil. No idea what Traps and Trapezes is.
Nope. Only read the first hardcover.

As someone who started Hellboy and BPRD recently, I second what Birdie said. It's pretty fantastic.

Thanks, will check it out.
Is it understandable without reading every Nightwing Nu52 comic?

Yeah, the Nu52 series had barely any bearing on the character, to be honest. In any case, I just checked and Grayson gives you a recap of how he ended up where he is in the first issue.
Easily, I don't think anything from the Nightwing comics has had any significance in Grayson. They give you enough recap in the first couple chapters to give you a good idea of what's going on. It is pretty self-contained.

I didn't read any Nu52 Nightwing but I love Grayson. One of DC's better ongoings IMO.
Alright so I have not read the Hickman Avengers/New Avengers run that leads up to SW and I decided to jump right into the event. Maybe some day I'll go back and read but right now I don't have enough time to go through all those issues. I've read SW#1 so far.
I understand the general premise and I don't feel lost but I do have a couple of questions. What happened to 616-Tony Stark? And is that Hulk with the military haircut Bruce Banner or someone else?

Oh wow hah. Yeah I think I'll eventually go back and read A/NA.
If i pledge to vote for Trump next year will I enjoy Fairest?

I remember there was a panel about republican writers vs democrat writers. The Fable writer was there along with Waid. It sounded so cringe worthy.

Best thing about Nu52 Nightwing was the suit. lol
No because if Trump runs as independent then he'll take away a large portion of the Republican super crazy vote, thus giving Democrats the super easy win and making Willingham very sad.
Isn't that just called "the Republican vote"?

Not if Trump runs third party!

Trump is the closest we have to a Senator Armstrong though. He is one step closer to building Metal Gear!
You might be very fucking disappointed.
? I have liked what I have read.

I haven't actually gotten into reading any Fables related stuff yet so I can't speak to specifics, but my general view is that it's perfectly OK to enjoy stuff that may have aspects (or creators) that you find troubling, at least to a degree. There are almost certainly lines there somewhere, but I'm not sure where they are.
About time.

Thors is a must buy. I haven't read much Thor either apart from God of Thunder but #1 was fantastic. Jason Aaron's writing some great books at the moment.

Remember that red head Dick dated and she turned out to be fuckin crazy?
In the sand. Kind of like this:

The colorful Rai pages are so beautiful sometimes...
Yeah, it had some solid covers.
Sounds familiar, but I don't remember.

God damn. Every time someone posts an Umbrella Academy panel, I get a little shiver of satisfaction for owning both volumes in Deluxe OHC format.
Man, I paid like $70 for each of those fuckers.
We should be so lucky. I've had enough of those fucks. Marvel needs some new characters front-and-center.
Huh? oh! You mean

Yeah, I'm one of those people that doesn't really care about the views a creator holds as long as it doesn't show in their work. Like Frank Miller wrote that pretty crazy blog post regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement, but that doesn't make me love his work any less.

The views of the creator really shouldn't affect your ability to enjoy the story. I mean, Orson Scott Card has some really questionable views, but I still think Ender's Game is one of the best Sci-Fi books I've read.

There is a line though, especially when it's the actions of the creator more so than the views.
Like I can't imagine I will ever be able to watch the Cosby Show again.

The Cosby Show is something I would never be watching anyway, so this isn't a particularly concerning predicament for me.
