We've been having some talk of spoilers a lot lately, so I figured it's a good idea to have a section for it.
-If you must post a spoilery panel or a page from a comic (recent or otherwise), please link to them with a proper spoiler warning.
-Please at least allow one week before posting unmarked spoilers.
-Announcements/Solicitations are not spoiler worthy, no need to tag
-MARK YOUR SPOILERS

I forgot whos my favorite comicgaffer right now so lets go with... I dunno, Freeza, because of the Viv avatar.

At least jon bones is putting more effort into creating FF than Axel Alonso is.
 
That Starfire costume is awful.

Closest one to the cartoon yet. They know what people want.

I hope Revolution is good. MTMTE will continue afterwards as Transformers: The Lost Light so I'm not too bothered either way. I hope we can get back to a more heroic Optimus Prime as well. He's been on a slippery slope since the end of Combiner Wars IMO.

I miss reading comics. I might get a month of MU and just read those for a bit. I badly need a new tablet but I have several interviews coming up so don't know money situation right now. Android, HD YouTube, CMX, Perfect Viewer, SD slot, maybe NEtflix as well, that's all I want. Despite this thread's repeated advice, comics aren't for eating. I want a good Humble Bundle but there hasn't been one since the Star Trek one.

I had a thing that I was going to read a bundle comic every day for a month or so, since I've bought a lot of them over the years. A few would be re-reads but I'd say the majority wouldn't. Maybe read some of my trades backlog as well. Lots of Image and DC stuff there that I kind of want to try.

Should be okay depending on the time. I'd prefer Saturday or Sunday night, but can work around it. I'm Pacific time.

Time to see what dropped today and buy some comics.

Whats wrong with this one?

It doesn't have to be super sexual like Lupacchino drew it. Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conners versions don't seem that sexual.

I love that cover :(

Can you guys think of any others? I can't tell if this is good or bad considering the Silver Age ended in 1970.

Guys, I'm thinking I'm gonna grab those Thunderbolts classics volume from the CMX sale. Please either encourage me or talk me down. Also, is that Marvel Now run also on sale at all worthwhile?

Up to 2 NYCC commissions so far..

The NYCC bank account bloodbath is getting an early start this year and Essential Sequential hasn't even opened up their lists yet.

My Comixology app stopped downloading halfway through my second book today. So I have to wait until I get home from work to read Lazarus and East of West.

At least Saga had a nice warm and fuzzy ending. Which can only mean the next 4 books are going to be truly horrifying.
