There was only one issue so far, but I thought it was really good.
I think I can live with myself.
I adore his Daredevil. I enjoyed his X-Men. I'm one of the only people you know that likes his Avengers run. Tell me I'm wrong!
And that's Facts Kellerman.
Do you never occasionally find writing a slog?
I'm reserving my right to complain until Legion drops, but YJ hasn't been bad.
I never expected the climax of Daredevil to involve Catholic knights fighting demon ninjas in a cloud of evil consuming New York. This is some sick shit
I'll be straight up with you, that last issue is going to hit different. It's kinda from a different run it feels like.I never expected the climax of Daredevil to involve Catholic knights fighting demon ninjas in a cloud of evil consuming New York. This is some sick shit
I've been very consistent with my opinion on Alias over the years. When I first read it I was very underwhelmed after hearing about all the praise online. I like Daredevil by Bendis and I enjoyed what I read of Ultimate Spider-Man too. I just think the concept for Alias was far stronger than the writing ever was and it ultimately felt rather flat for me.
Of course. there's nothing one can do every day and not find it tiring. I just would find streaming even worse. At least when I'm writing, I'm by myself and comfortable.
They do say if you find something you love you never work a day in your life. Writing every day makes me feel like that's a bit of a crock. Work is still work.
I'll let the mercury poisoning from so the light tubes do the talking, tyvm!
It's the long term character writing and growth that stuck with me. Bendis' voice hadn't been worn out yet so it didn't feel like a thing I had read a million times up too that point. It felt human and weirdly familiar and welcoming. And, for me anyway, there was novelty in it being a Marvel Max title that had more going on than just blood, gore, tits and swear words. There were thematic things happening that warranted that.
But you can also 1v1 me in a cage of death with Freezasaurus as a guest referee. So suit up, brother. It's time to hit the press to promote this!

Nah, Absolute Carnage is definitely some link park level nu metal that thinks it's punk
It's just a hobby for me right now. Affiliate status was cool because it was like "Hey, you put a bit of time into this and you're starting to see a reward" which is not something I'm used to, lol.
I'm trying to pace myself, so I only do 4-5 days a week and I do maybe 4 hours on a really good day. 3 hours is closer to the usual. I take a break as well, because I'm in my 30s and leg cramps are a thing after sitting down too long. To be fair, on my days off I am usually doing graphics/tweaking settings, edited content or networking (which you can read as "chatting to mutuals").
I just tend to take my hobbies seriously, and like my Dad, I'm a tinkerer (not Phineas Mason) so I like to mess about with tech stuff.
So, comic-era dwellers, I need your help.
Comixology is currently having a DC Rebirth sale. What are your top picks and must haves from Rebirth?

Tomasi and Gleason's Superman Rebirth (literally the best thing to happen to Superman in the past 30 years)
James Tynion's Detective Comics Rebirth
Super Sons
New Super-Man
Green Arrow
Apart from these two, the rest are just passable middling stuff honestly.
Seconding all of these. I'll throw in a rec for New Super-Man as well. I can't remember who recommended that to me here, but I read it during a sale awhile back and it's real good.
I second James Tynion's Detective Comics, I really want another Batfamily team book and i was devastated when it ended.
I need more of my boi Tim.

So not worth reading Batman / any of the stuff that might tie in with Metal / Doomsday Clock? I was quite curious about those two events.
Will look into it :)
No love for Deathstroke?
If you haven't been on the weekly treadmill for a while, Batman, Detective Comics, Flash v1, Wonder Woman, etc are worth a read. I haven't read Metal/Doomsday Clock myself.
I think i'm one of the few crazy people that didn't really care much for Metal. It's not bad at all but I didn't love it.
Me too, but then again I'm not a superfan of Batman so an entire event centered around him is ehhhhhh
If you want Doomsday Clock stuff, I'd recommend getting the DC Universe Rebirth Special which I think is a buck in this sale, and see if you want to go on from there.
I don't think Batman/Flash: The Button is on sale, which is the next part. That's a shame imo.
I'm more of a fan of the BatFamily than Batman himself, his over exposure really dampers my enjoyment of him.
Thanks for all the feedback folks :)
Buying an iPad and finding out about Comixology really increased the amount of comics I've been digesting. These prices are incredible.

Those people are liars trying to sell you something. It's still work.
You could also sign up for a free trial in the DC Universe app and read the first few issues of the Rebirth titles to see what you would like to buy later on.
This is sick! Did Robbie Reyes get anything after his initial 2-volume run?
Aquaman starts out good and just keeps getting better. Underworld especially is great.
Green Lanterns is really good after a boring first volume.
Green Arrow was super fun and gorgeous.
Flash is fun
Nightwing was good too
Rucka's Wonder woman was also solid
Superman, New Superman, Detective Comics and Super sons are great as others have said.
I actually started watching the anime the other day, it's good stuff.I read 6 volumes of Demon Slayer last night.
I love it so much and I'd die for Tanjiro and Nezuko
I've read a majority of Rebirth and this is the right answer. I bought both of those series weekly and they're the only ones I'd ever consider buying/re-reading.
Possibly King's Batman as well. High highs, low lows. And maybe Suicide Squad, which went some interesting places...
Other books I enjoyed though - Action Comics, Rucka's Wonder Woman, Green Lanterns, Aquaman, Deathstroke... oh, and Priest's brief Justice League stint.
He got something with Cho and Laura Kinney but I can't remember the name of it and they basically stole all the screentime in his own book.

Please don't ruin this series for me

The most recent episode was so fuckin good. Such a great adaption. The animation is aaaaamazing.
Quitely to life
People are liking The Boys, but I bet after Watchmen TV, everyone will be over post-modern superhero shows again.

The NOW 2.0 relaunch that was basically a stealth F4 run and yes, it bombed and sucked because Smith was likely ordered to make the not F4 look good and it overshadowed Robbie.
It got so bad, they just canned it even though a 6th issue was solicit.
With the original book fans complained about the book having no team ups and the second book was Smith trying to address that.
