Why does he wear the mask!?
‪The Walking Dead issue 167‬

‪That...was heartbreaking 😭‬

I honestly welled up.

Riley Rossmo is very good at art. I love pretty much everything he has worked on. Can't wait for the Batman / The Shadow HC and whatever he is doing for Vertigo or Young Animal.
 
Where do y'all find scans of comics that y'all post all the time? There's an image of one I might want as an avatar but it's not showing up in Google images.

RIP Len Wein. Man, what a legend. Incredible writer and editor.

I assume people capture the image from a CMX digital issue. Although maybe I'm wrong.

I love this current Guardians of the galaxy run. It's just fantastic. I love Kuders art. Also the Smallwood issue was great and very pretty.

I take screenshots of comics I bought digitally, upload them to twitter, copy the link and post here.
 
I REALLY want to read more Astro City. I just wish so bad they would collect it in a better format, like omnibus or thick trades with volume numbers.
The format is weird. It's mostly one shots than full arcs. I usually tell people just start from the start and work your way from there.

All I've read is the first issue, and the Family Album trade, which contains I don't know what because DC does the collected editions so weird.

Even worse, a lot of the volumes are now out of print.

Argh. Makes me sad. All the stuff I've read is really excellent and I've been wanting to read more for a long time.
 
Started Alias vol.3. The panel structure is interesting in this. There are no panels really. It's like just three images with text. It sort of reminds me of a script just with the dialogue. Jonah Jameson is a wild one and I'm curious what Jessica is really doing here.

I would recommend buying them off at comixology then.

Oh Jessica and Jonah have quite the shenanigans, let me tell you. It's actually part of my favorite arc in the book.

I just thought of an alternate take on Secret Empire. Instead of this big conflict that drags in every other comic, make it a *secret*. Have only a few heroes know that Cap is Hydra and they decide they need to take him out without everyone knowing. Maybe to protect the legacy of what he meant or something. No big fights, just a chess match to try and corner him. More death note than civil war.

I think it would have worked as a smaller event.

Happy 25 to Harley.

What and miss out on disrupting every other book in order to try and maximise sales by bloating your event out of control?

You bring shame to Marvel Comics.
 
RIP Len Wein :( as an x fan your contribution will definitely not be forgotten

List for the week:

Mr Miracle 2
Metal 2
Teen Titans 12 (Only for metal tie in)
Runaways 1 (If its bad at least I can get the skottie young cover signed by Brian Vaughan in a few weeks at thought bubble)

Was tempted by Ninjak 0, but seen as I'm so far behind in my Valiant read I thought I'd just get to it later, might be tempted instore though

He's also a cool person who spontaneously helped push my friend's car out of a snowbank last winter. I didn't even realize he was working on something for Young Animal, but that sounds amazing!

I swear sometimes comic sales confuse the hell out of me, Luke Cage who recentlys been a main character in a featured tv series is below gen x, jean grey/iceman solo series and the superwoman series???

EDIT - Maybe Luke Cage fans buying defenders series and can't afford to double dip with marvel prices?

I'm completely shocked to say this, but I really liked Venomverse. My most cynical side wants to think this is to sell venom skins in Future Fight, Heroes Omega, and Contest of Champions, but Bunn nailed it. The Poisoned look is cool as hell.

Well when you spend all your effort not promoting these comics it's what happens. Like US Avengers got absolutely nothing out of tying into Secret Empire.
