4001 AD is great, as are Divinity 1 and 2. Generation Zero has been off to a strong start as well. Britannia is pretty interesting; very different from anything else Valiant has done.
A&A is okay, but it just doesn't have the same magic as Van Lente's run on Archer & Armstrong.

I assume the War Mother one-shot is on sale? If it is, BUY IT.

Britannia is not one I'd recommend.

I've been pretty disappointed with his stuff this year actually.

Neither of his ANAD books impressed me much either.

Yup. It's in the cart.
It's funny how every trade costs more than buying the 99 cent single issues by themselves

Lol I had to get it out there!
And Messi turning off his keyboard is hilarious btw. I hope we get more hand drawn posts.

I love the coloring on the boots. Looks like we got the next Jordie Bellaire on our hands.

Do a lot of you do digital or physical?

All about that digital future. Got tired of having to go to the shop and sort floppies into longboxes. Never again.

I'm a physical game guy, but digital is so tempting.

Games kind of depends on the filesize and if I plan to keep it forever or might want to trade it in. Dishonored 2 was like a 73 GB download, so I was like lolNope.

I'm wondering if I should jump into the Valiant Universe with this sale...

Don't blind buy. I've had so-so luck doing that. I can vouch for Ivar Timewalker, Doctor Mirage, Generation Zero and the War Mother one-shot.

In light of all this disappointment I just wanted to say I fucking love comics.
Hey TheFlow, since I know you commented on my disappointment with Uncanny X-Men after the Brood Saga, I just wanted to say it gets way, way better once it escapes that hell. Mutant Massacre is aces.
It also fits in with criticisms of the line-up for the X-Men books. I mean the team right now is de-powered Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, pre-Asian Psylocke, Dazzler, Havok, and... Longshot. And it's great.

I have the WWE Network but I don't even know if I want to watch the TLC PPV on Sunday. It's a Smackdown show so it seems like a waste of three hours.
Glad to know! I decided to stop doing long write ups of each issue and just do summaries after each arc. Allows me to read issuesmuch faster and not get bored.

Archer and Armstrong is my favorite series from Valiant (the van lente written one). It's a fun adventure through and through. Harbinger is also a really good X-men style book. Ivan is the spiritual sequel to Archer and Armstrong.
Smackdown...I like aj styles, but they really got x-mened during the draft.
He jobbing to a jobber. Because reasons.

For sure. Maybe heel Becky Lynch will be able to save them. But I could spend that time playing FFXV.

I do both myself. Digital for single issues as I hate storing floppies. If things I want are on sale, I'll buy them digitally too. There are also certain cases, like Shade the Changing Man, where something may not be completely collected in print so it's the only option there.
I buy physically for trades or general collections. They're cheaper online than they are MSRP at like a book store or comic shop, so it ends up being pretty affordable.
And in other news, I got my latest order from IST in:
And a quick comparison between the Moebius LE and the Hellboy one for anyone interested in seeing the dimensions:
So it's a little smaller but still super nice. Not Hellboy nice (these are by far the nicest LEs btw), but definitely one of the better hardcovers I have. Art is gorgeous too of course, really looking forward to

Spider-Man & Deadpool #11 is a good comic to read if you're looking for a reason to give up on all comics forever

So were the first 3. How did you make it this far?
Don't open it, wait for a version of yourself from the past to come through time to tell you to return it.

Reading X-Factor and it's weird that Wolfsbane can't tell Jamie that she's leaving to join X-Force when they were so out in the open during Messiah Complex.

Joining another X-team is like cheating on your waifu / husbando.

Hey guys, here is a sale to remind you guys of what X-Men books by a good writer looked like.

Just read the final issue of Chew. God, what an amazing book.
I'm sad that it's over, but it's incredible that they got to tell that complete story, and what an issue to go out on. I think I can safely say that the story and characters are going to stay with me for a very long time.

Hey y'all. What's up, what's up.
I forgot about comics for a while and then couldn't remember my password for another while. N E way... so comics, hey? I'm trying to catch up on my books because I still buy the fuckers and a lot of them I haven't read in ages or ever.
Rundown:
Hellcat: Very Archie and very cute. But just not quite good enough. Dropped.
Jonesy: Anyone here reading this? It's so awesome. Jonesy forever! (cue cancellation)
Hulk: read up to #6 so far. It's good. Just doesn't quite hook me tho. More than likely dropped. Will be sad to lose my Shulkie fix, tho.
Black Panther: Love it! Meaty read. Wordier than I often like. But the writing is so freaking good. Love the complexity and all the kick ass characters.

Long time no see, welcome back!
I'm sure the deluxe edition is the same as complete, it's all just a bunch of words.
