Holy shit. Ever just forget a book you read. A book you know you liked? I was looking at my Batman books because I finally purchased Dark Victory. I saw The Black Mirror on the shelf and I wanted to look at the art again so I pulled it off the shelf and flipped through the pages and was amazed I couldn't remember a damn thing. The only thing that stuck out was Dick Batman and Gordon were on the roof and when Gordon turned around and saw Dick still standing there he was surprised. Now I have to read it again.

Sure it isn't just old age setting in?
I don't know, I worry that I'm forgetting stuff all the time. I'm constantly going through story lines in my head. I wanna read Arkham Asylum again too. Think I'm gonna take a break from buying some trades and catch up and reread something's I have.
You lucky dog, what I wouldn't give to forget a book that good and have the opportunity to read it like the first time again.
C.O.W.L. disappointed me solely because when I heard "Chicago superhero union period piece" I thought it would mean "turn of the century radical left anarchic group of superdudes sticking it to The Man to make the world into a glorious anarchist utopia". Then the book took place in the 60s. And the superheroes were pretty much The Man. I don't care how good that book might be, it's not the book I wanted it to be.

I'm sure things will come back to me as I read it but just looking at the art, I was dumbfounded.

So here's what I picked up today at the signing, got the print, these awesome custom short boxes and Harley Quinn #1 signed.
He also answered a few questions about the series

No plans for Catwoman so far, he said to ask Jimmy and Amanda about it.
He just recently finished up issue seven.
And he said to look forward to the guest artist coming up cause they are new.

Man, you make me want to read that Black Mirror's trade again.. as much I love Snyder's Batman New52 run. its still not beat the run that trade collected IMO, so good..
Btw I barely remember thing from past issue as well lol.
I dunno, Zero Year volume 1 probably has it beat.

Comic Gaf I love it when you post pictures! Is there anywhere other than here where people post pics of their collections? I know some people did it here a while back, but I need more of a fix.
I also enjoy perusing the Shelf Porn section on CBR.

That's awesome, thanks for asking about Catwoman.
Print is gorgeous too.

Shit, I was wondering about why it hadn't shipped.

my god, COWL was a boring comic. none of the characters were interesting and they're all pretty one-note, if that. The art was super inconsistent. Started off pretty great, and after that half of the panels looked incomplete and rushed. someone here likened it to Noto, and yeah I can see that, except even worse

Hey, Superman #31 managed to be not terrible, which is quite a feat for Lobdell.
Try to name 3 new characters from the last issue of Walking Dead. I sure can't.

Stop objectifying Harley, Messi.
Also, time to read Suicide Squad.

Don't waster your time with Suicide Squad. Hopelessly written Harley Quinn.

I think I'm a bad person because the scene in Suicide Squad #30 where Black Manta
just slams the fast food workers face into the computer screen to get arrested again made me chuckle more than it should have.
I'll give you that. It made laugh too.

Deadshot is so delightfully smarmy too.
It's an OK book I just hate how Harley is written in it. That said I am totally in for a few issues of the new team just to see how some of them react to each other.
Harley Quinn better fuck up Jokers Daughter. Also Deathstroke/Harley.
Batman Eternal #8 question
was that Catwoman in China at the end? Looked a bit like her but not in line with her current comic look.

I just started reading comics again a few weeks ago after a 12 months hiatus. I picked up a bunch of stuff at random (mostly DC though, I don't really know why...) and now I'm trying to decide on which books I intend to actually follow.
I've decided to drop Future's End, it's just been incredibly boring so far. And I must say that I'm not really into Batman Eternal either... I'm willing to give it a few more issues but when you look at the creators involved, the end result is quite disappointing. I love the idea of a weekly superhero comic but it seems that nobody has been able to replicate the success of the original 52. It wasn't perfect but what a fun read it was every week !
Aside from that, I'm slowly catching up on Green.Lantern Corps and Justice League 3000. The latter is surprisingly good, I wasn't expecting much from it and the first issue left me cold but it has become a pretty great book, kind of old-fashioned in its storytelling but in a good way.
What's the consensus on the best X-Men book right now ? I tried Wolverine & the X-Men but I found it almost incomprehensible.
On the non-superhero side, I just started reading The Wake and I'm loving it. Any other suggestions ? I'd like something relatively recent if possible, without too many issues already out. I've seen people talking about Trees a lot in this thread but I'm not a big Warren Ellis fan unfortunately...

John Layman said on twitter that it's a new character.

For non superheroes try Deadly Class, Black Science, Rat Queens, or Red Sonja for books with around one trades worth of issues out that are stellar.
On the X-men side I see a lot of praise for All New X-men.
For DC, try out the trade for Red Lanterns #4 or Green Arrow #4. Both are great series starting at those points.
See now that's just confusing. It's clearly stupidly close to Selina.

From his twitter: The lady at the end of Batman Eternal #8? You have not met her before. You'll have to wait a week for a proper introduction.
Well, good to know we will know more about her this week. I was just a bit excited that would would be getting more Catwoman.
Been cloned a few times too, only thing I could see going against that is that I believe there's still some regret about what happened to Johnny Alpha. Mind you, it's only 2 years from now.
Anyone have a list of statues they are picking up over the next year? I don't really get too many because I hate a shit ton of clutter, but I can't help but pick up the new Sandman statue, iZombie, and the Harley statue that is out this fall. After those I'm done for a while.
bombshells Batgirl, Zatanna, Black Canary, Stargirl. Harley Black & white. Cover girls Batgirl/Batwoman.
Oh geez I forgot about Bombshell Mera. Picking her up also.
As did I, I will depending on finances. I am not at Cheska level yet.

It's clear that Future's End is editorially mandated to hell. I doubt we will see that many characters until after the September event. It's evident at this point we won't be seeing characters that have oneshots in September. And what the hell did they do to Amaya's design? She looks like a psycopath that took a Flobee to half of her hair and a suicide attempt or two after her boyfriend broke up with her.

Hey guys,
I was wondering how everyone protects their trades. Does anyone even make bags for them? I'm not to worried about the Hardcovers, I'm more worried about the soft ones.

Just put them on a book shelf. No plastic or anything.
Yeah same here. No interest in looking at bagged trades. I want them on display.

I'd just suggest periodic dusting in this scenario. Too much build up could stain the pages.

Guys.
I just finished Ultimate X-Men. All of them.
A giant tidal wave of water killed half the team and a ton of superheroes?
Was Marvel serious?
I can't believe it. What a joke.
The Madrox bomb stuff was pretty legit though. That makes sense and is quite evil. But water? Ew.
The drug and Ultimatum stuff really brought down an otherwise very enjoyable series.

Your talking to a guy who has like 7 cans of compressed air and buys Swifter dust wipes everytime I go to the grocery store.

Loeb smash, basically.
If you stopped at Ultimatum, you are not really done. I think that series became Ultimate Comics X-Men, and continued for 30-40 more issues.
Namor?

But then he has to read Ultimate X first. Dear god, don't do this to him, he's only human.

I loved some of his Batman stuff but this whole idea was lame.
Yeah, I get that...but it's just so dumb. Some of these superheros have done some insane things. Escaped death countless times. And then they're killed by water of all things? It's just a letdown.
Yeah, stopped at #100. I probably should continue on into Ultimate Comics X-Men but I don't know. I'll see how I feel after finishing Ultimate Spider-Man.
