deserves to be the cause of Wolvie's character change that more than Cornell with his bore of a run.
This is fits with how WatXM is usually where the repercussions of Remender's plots are shown: Genesis, Deathlok and Mind-wiped Angel.

Now that I think about it, I noticed it too, though part of it has to do with their facial reactions.

Eh...
someone else mentioned it, but the adamantium on wolverine's bones actually made his healing factor worse, not better due to adamantium poisoning. X-23's healing factor is better, Bone Claws wolverine's was MUCH better. It's possible though not absolutely certain that Rogue could come back from that. It didn't appear she was burned to "cinders", the skeleton was completely intact.

Black Science 1 was fantastic. Don't know why you guys are suddenly crying "CORNY" for Sagan quotes or a protagonist who is self-involved and obsessed with turning wrongs into rights...it's like y'all haven't read a non-Marvel Rick Remender comic in a while.
He quotes pretty consistently in his work and I've never had an issue with it--it's always been appropriate and I like epigraphs/real-world quoting so long as it's not entirely cliche and it serves thematic purpose. I mean, the last issue of Fear Agent is one long Mark Twain quote...
Art was stunning.

Annuals are generally released in the "5th Wednesday" of a month. Since normal comics are on a four week schedule the fifth week doesn't have normal titles to release. Whether or not they are part of the mainline series depends on the title. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. They can either be used as an oversized issue for the main series or as a one off story. Unfortunately you need to research that out much of the time.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Annuals were originally just bonus content; done-in-one stories not important to the overall narrative of the main series, plus pinups and storyline recaps mixed with reprinted material, with an oversized format to go along with the oversized price. Then they started to change as they gained popularity, with annuals for different series connecting through story or theme; DC's Annuals would often have an overall commonality ("Elseworlds" for example, or "JLApe") for the entire year, and Marvel would connect three or four Annuals together as a kind of team-up adventure. These days Annuals can still be both, but there's a greater emphasis I think on making them "important" and part of the overall series narrative, rather than making them fun side stories; a lot of that has to do with consumer buying habits, and the tendency of the comics fanbase to ignore "unimportant" books.

This week had a lot of really good comics:
-I loved Black Science, made me want to reread Fear Agent. Anybody knows when the 2nd Library Edition come out?
-Infinity was far from perfect, but it was one of the most enjoyable events in recent memory.
-City Fall ended incredibly in this week's TMNT.
-I can't believe WatXM is ending after these 2 amazing issues. The portrayal of the school's wackiness was superb.
-I wish Parker luck on following John's run on Aquaman.
-The Transformers crossover continues to be fun, but it pales in comparison to the story MTMTE was telling. It is more of a guest appearance of MTMTE characters in RiD.
-Rat Queens was fantastic. I adore this series.

The Ultimates: Last Stand #1 was disappointingly short.

Just buy the over-sized hardcover. It has the first two TPB volumes in it. You'll be glad you did.
Heed this advice bro
it will be interesting to see the fallout between people
who think wolverines healing factor is bullshit, and those that think that she should come back despite said healing factor. that and the fighting death stuff. and although the healing factor is stronger, there needs to be living matter for logan to come back doesnt it?

February Solicits show
Rogue in the cover of Avengers A.I. but that might just be Rogue's death not "happening" yet since the UA summary suggests the battle against the twins hasn't finished yet.
The solicit for Vol.3 also mention Sentry killing another member...
I can't wait for the next issue.

At this point, I haven't received enough ballots to form any kind of meaningful consensus (not nearly enough). Members still have until Saturday, but the way it's looking right now I may call off the November vote and start fresh with December. If December proves no better, well... this segment will have died a very quick death.
We should just do the vote in this thread. People are generally too lazy for secret ballots. Let that be an option if people want to remain anonymous I guess. I still need to read Saga and Black Science, so I will probably vote tomorrow.
Yeah, they're not doing much. Sixth Gun is alright, but I only tried a couple of issues. I didn't like Wasteland at all but it's still alive.
Indie pubs have been flourishing. OniPress not so much.

bone is living matter, as is the marrow inside of it. Rogue wasn't "ash" when she was killed, so it's possible she could be brought back, but far from certain.
It's really 50/50 for me, and I'm not a huge fan of the way wolverine is typically portrayed at all.

Yeah I feel sorry for them. They put out a good product with great paper. Hope they find success.
Omg at the gloves, tell me none of you wear gloves while reading comics. Please.
You can still have a skeleton with your marrow cooked through. And with the rate that she burned Its good to say its cooked, ash or not.

No, I find the gloves equally hilarious.

Ha. Speaking of Brian Wood, I wonder if his wife filed for divorce yet. There's no way he could have hidden this from her, unless she doesn't use the internet.
I read half my comics sitting on the toilet.

Okay, comics-GAF, I once more need a hand selecting a holiday gift for my increasingly hard to shop for friend.
He now pretty much owns all the big Batman stories I can think of except I guess Year One Hundred, which is a definite possibility. That's supposed to be good, right?
Superman-wise, he's read All Star, Red Son, and Kingdom Come off the top of my head.
I'm thinking now that I can't think of any Flash trades he owns. Any good options there?
Also, has any of the recent Deadpool been particularly exceptional? Deadpool used to be one of his favorites, but he got burnt out a while back when the character got overexposed and I don't think he's picked up anything since... I guess about when the whole Deadpool Corps thing was starting up.
He's been a big fan of the newest Daredevil run, and likes the Hawkguy that's in the style of the first trade at least (it seems to be alternating now? Between more serious and the same old fun?), and he definitely likes the run with Cyclops' team (AKA the "Cyclops is right" thing). Oh, and the new Thor run has been to his liking.
He has a pretty sizable collection, so it's getting harder and harder to pick out neat new comic gifts. Mostly looking for new-ish stuff, as he seems to have trouble getting around to reading stuff like Essentials (I think he still likes them, just tends to put them on the back-burner+they're kind of bulky). Oh, and definitely needs to be reasonably available for purchase, haha.
So yeah, if anyone could help me out that'd be greatly appreciated.
