Oh, I promptly threw it into the garbage, where it belonged and ordered another one.
Fingers crossed.
Did you DIY fix it?

I think i pushed it out of my memory and try not to think about it....i'm pretty sure i left it alone and one day i'm just going to decide to read my backlog and out comes weirdo page with extra edges. Or maybe that was an Absolute edition that i did an exchange for, i think that's what it was.
Other than that unfortunate mess, how is the quality of the hardcover? I assume it's a glued binding instead of sewn?
I do love print comics, but I'm really warming up to digital with my new tablet. Comics look AMAZING on it. But, yeah, the nice big art is great in print.

I was considering that Swamp Thing Deluxe. The run had some gorgeous panel layouts.
Go DIGI or go home!
I'm seriously considering it, even though I've never read it. I want it because A.) Scott Snyder, and B.) I've heard from multiple people that it's fantastic.

It's both Sewn/Glued, and besides the horrible, disgusting mess a printer error made of it, it is a very nice book.
I honestly really really love the TV show Gotham. I'm all caught up now and it's easily my favorite comic book show. Wasn't expecting that at all.
Oh, nice. I would like to get it soon.

Dayum. I'm all about that Bachalo art.
PFFFFFFFFFT. This is Marvel, let's remember.
Ugh, just reading all this Scott Allie stuff. Why...? My quest to catch up on the Hellboy universe just got really uncomfortable.
I didn't see this get shared: SUICIDE SQUAD MOST WANTED: DEADSHOT/KATANA COMING IN JANUARY!
I'm not particularly interested in those characters, but I do think it's worthwhile for DC to experiment in more anthology styled books that could provide outlets for less popular characters. Maybe something more like Wednesday Comics crossed with Dark Horse Presents... give all kinds of creators a chance to do both standalone and serialized with a wide variety of characters. Use this as a chance to introduce readers to more minor characters, rather than going straight to short-lived ongoings.

Atomic Robo stuff: http://tesladyne.myshopify.com/collections/all The shirts are only in men's cuts at the moment.
Loki #10 - amazing issue following Axis, Loki is back to normal (whatever that means since he wasn't fucking evil in the first place these days) and pays a visit to his buddy Veritas, Odinson shows up to apologize for Axis (I wish Remender would apologize for Axis) but then since Loki can't lie now he reveals what happened to kid Loki and Odinson is royaly pissed, beats him up and takes him to Asgard. Great stuff all around, I REALLY need to read that kid Loki stuff one of these as.
Oh yeah, Loki's reversion in Axis makes no sense since he wasn't even a villain these days, in fact he was trying to be good, and the inversion turned him into a hero...what? God I hate Axis, I hate it so much it makes me think less of Remender and all his work tbh.
Moon Knight #11 - Spector is crazy yo. Moon Knight continues its great run, yes even when Ellis left and everyone bailed. This "Spector in the looney bin because Kanshu left him" arc is great and I'm really curious to see where they go with it, especially since it seems the ANAD book will continue this angle judging from that cover.

Marvel Now was 2-3 years with a new wave every year or so to replace certain books..

"nobody seems to care about katana but everyone is pure hype for the SS movie so let's shove deadshot into this thing to get it to do better"

They still had to plaster #1 all over the place. They went through a phase where a #7 issue might have a big ol' #1 on it just to denote the beginning of a new storyline. Those were dark days.
I just re-read all of Incognito, Sleeper, and Criminal by Brubaker and Phillips. I need more. So much more.
I also read Manifest Destiny, which I really enjoyed. How can you not like Lewis and Clark and Sacagewa kicking monster ass in the unsettled Louisiana Purchase?
Now I'm out of good stuff to read again.

Nailbiter vol 1!
By "new number 1s" I assumed that Busaiku was referring to Marvel's next relaunch. Wave 2 of ANAD Marvel will probably hit in 12-16 months from now after some books have run their course.

I'm waiting to see how many books survive the first six months.
Also really looking forward to ANAD Blade, whenever it actually starts.

It was non-uniform day at the school I work at yesterday, it was amazing. So many kids (boys and girls) dressed as Iron Man, Spiderman, Superman, Batman (and 1 Ant Man). Iron Man was the overall favourite.

So I woke up this morning and checked my subscriptions and what do I see at the bottom but... "COMICS! |OT| October 2015 blah blah blah," LOCKED. Oh noooooooo
I enjoyed it. Supes/Dick is a fun team up, wish they'd do that more often. Not as strong as the most recent for-real issue, but really, what is?
Um... does Long Halloween count?
6 months, tops.

In a world where Low releases month to month you'll never be out of at least 1 good book to read. Go read Black Hole if you can. I freaking loved it.
Also, you might appreciate Jorodowsky's The White Lama. It's a beautiful book from beginning to end. Bouncer drops this month as well, so there's some good shit on the horizon.

Loki's inversion wasn't from evil to good, but more from god of lies to god of truth.
Makes more sense when you consider the metanarrative Ewing is going for.
Plenty more Brubaker out there, m8. You read all the criminals?

Brian Hitch breaks down JLA #1
Another of these rather cool videos that DC has done. It's really fascinating seeing artists breakdown the flow of a comic.

Archie was great again. Can we have it every week?

Okay, DC supeheroes going to high school as a TV show isn't a bad concept, in fact, it's something I've given a lot of thought about. But going by that clip, I would've gone in a much different direction.

Didn't realize it was Archie week this week!
Was good. Feels like Staples is starting to phone it in a little, though. Jughead is kind of a badass. Writing continues to be top-notch.

Hmm I got this feeling too, a bit. What made you feel this way specifically, though?

Some of the faces and anatomy seems... off. Expressions lack a little of the detail, too. Like, page 3 (Comixology page 3, so actual first page), at the bottom, where Jughead pulls Archie out of the way of the car, his whole face is like a handful of lines and some dots. It's actually pretty weird looking (at work or would post pics).
I think she's either bored or just looking forward to wrapping things up.
Agreed. Though they're already cheap, I will probably just get the trades to keep my CMX library easier to manage of the few Unity books I don't have.
Edit: Though holy shit that's a big price difference on Eternal Warrior. Why the hell was the trade so expensive in the first place?
I'll probably pick up the rest of Alex & Ada too.
dat Ultimates art tho
