The Bullshiting About Comics Thread w/ Justin & Friends

[Danger Burger]

If it were up to me I'd just have Joker kill Damien, I can't stand that obnoxious little turd, he's by far the worst Robin that's ever been.

Have to agree with that, cant stand Damien. I know alot of people hated Jason Todd, but I never got that. If anyone needs there faces smushed by a crowbar its Damien.

Been keeping up to date with Cap recently. Remender and Romita Jr. are doing a good job over there, especially following the legendary Brubaker run.

I fucking love Captain America right now!

I fucking love Captain America right now!

Great change of pace from the slow, mthodical spy thriller it has been. The whole Dimension Z stuff has been a refreshing angle thus far. JR, Jr.'s art has been top-notch and it's nice to see one of Cap's main rogues that isn't the Red Skull acting as a real top threat.

I just found out that the Dark Horse comics HQ is about 10 minutes from my house.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

Do any of you have experience with Jonathan Hickman's Secret Warriors? I just ordered the omnibus and I'm really excited for it. And I just finished Saga Volume 1 and the Age of Apocalypse omnibus, both were great.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Just started reading the Spider Island arc. The banter between Spidey and Anti-Venom is hilarious. I have no idea what's going on with Marvel comics right now, but Unlimited has the whole arc so I thought I'd see what it was all about. I didn't eve know what an Anti-Venom was. Seems a bit self-indulgent to me. When all else fails, turn something the opposite color and strap an "anti-" to the front of it; money.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

Just ordered Superman/Batman V1 & V2 + Gotham Central V2.

 

[Danger Burger]

I forgot to buy batman today.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

[justinsayne]

Batman #17 was fucking epic, that is all I'm gonna say.

 

[Danger Burger]

I'll have to tell my lady to cool it for a half hour tomorrow, me and batman got a date.

Also, I guess this is the place for it, I was handed A red paper folded up heart in college today. On the fron was written "THOR DEMANDS YOU ENJOY VALENTINES DAY". And when you unfolded it, it looked like thors helmet. True story.

Goodnight, and gods bless!

Along with Batman #17 I also picked up the new issues of Wolverine & The X-men, & Fury MAX, as well as DMZ Vol. 10

Fury MAX is awesome, how is DMZ? Amazon finally restocked V1 so Im thinking about getting it.

One of my favorite comic series ever, highly recommend it.

Have to agree with Jizzy on this one, DMZ is great! A breath of fresh air. Do it, do it hard!

Fun trip to my LCS today. Picked up:

[Diet Soda]

Seconded. I've done a lot of homework since I sheepishly stumbled into this thread last year and asked where to begin with Batman, have not regretted it so far

 

[justinsayne]

I don't read read Red Hood & the Outlaws, but this cover is pretty fucking awesome

Spoiler

Am I the only one that thinks that maybe it's time for DC to stop putting the "The New 52!" shit on the covers? I mean it has been over a year & a half since DC launched the new 52, most of these titles are not exactly new anymore.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

I finally got around to sorting out my single comics into boxes, which was a week-long project. And I just discovered that my LCS has 8 long boxes of 50 cent comics which I didn't see until now, so I plan on diving into that some day this week.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Going to London Super Comic Con this week. Neal Adams, George Perez, J. Scott Campbell, David Finch, Dan Slott, Adi Granov and others are going to be there. Should be a cool event. Going to try and get some of my shit signed too.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

Anybody here read IDW?

 

[justinsayne]

Anybody here read IDW?

I read the Locke & Key tpb's, & have read some of the new TMNT, Ghostbusters, & Judge Dredd stuff, but that's about it.

 

[nightmare]

Anybody here read IDW?

Yup. 30 Days of night, some Transformers & GI Joe stuff. What are you reading?

 

[Big Papa Santo]

My lcs doesn't really have any independent stuff besides a section dedicated to IDW. But I've been reading a small amount of Ghostbusters stuff (Meh.) and a lot of their Mars Attacks stuff. I seriously don't know why that series doesn't get more attention, it's pretty entertaining. And they've been having Mars Attacks crossovers with The Ghostbusters, Popeye, and even The Transformers! Is GI Joe too childish? I'm thinking about getting the new #1 issue, but I want to make sure that it's not some rehashed version of the kids TV show.

 

[Big Papa Santo]

Is IDW Dredd any good? I've never been a big Judge Dredd fan but I'm open to reading some to try and change my opinion of it.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Haven't picked much from IDW since I found out they existed. They've gotten some good books out, but nothing quite for me. But then, I'm a superhero man for the most part.
