I read through My Boyfriend Is A Bear after getting it at NYCC. I thought it was good overall but the ending didn't do much for me even though I get the moral of the story. It was still a fun read that I would recommend to non-comic book readers.Not super-hero related, but go read My Boyfriend is a Bear and The Prince and the Dressmaker if you get a chance. The former is really funny/heartwarming and the latter has great art/character expressions (also, I think universal recently picked up the rights to a film adaptation).
I haven't read much by Alex De Campi but I've heard great things about Twisted Romance and No Mercy. I've only read Mayday since I interviewed her and Tony Parker and reviewed the first issue (my cherry picked quote is on the back of the trade paperback). It's a 1970s spy thriller about two Russian agents posing as Americans. It gets violent, has digetic music, and has a good pace. She's doing a Kickstarter for a medieval war romance series.Yo, what's with this Lionsgate Catalyst Prime stuff. The first volume of Astonisher was fun! The Event was interesting too, noticed later that it was by Priest.
Haven't read anything by Alex De Campi before either. Any other good stuff by her any of you would recommend?
Spider-ham.
From what I saw in my research before starting Morrison's books, The Filth, Flex Mentallo and The Invisibles are all a "trilogy" of sorts that talk about the same stuff and have the same themesAlright, I finished The Filth. Ivve had a problem with Morrison where I realized he sort of has the same 3 ideas/concepts over and over again, and The Filth hits all of them. There's the comic book/higher dimension stuff, fiction as reality, etc. I enjoyed it still but it's definitely less elegant than something like Flex Mentallo, which Morrison actually redoes here. The final twist is good but it definitely feels rushed, like it all comes crashing down in 2 issues.

Clearly Spider-Ham is the only correct choice.

Reading that Warren Ellis interview MH posted a while ago and this feels like a dig at comicsgate
I don't think soGot my Super Sons omni today finally!! I can just jump right in, without reading Tomasi's Superman, right? I plan on getting back to it eventually, but I really want to start Super Sons now.
This persons art is awesome. Does he work on anything atm, or is this just really good fan art lol?
Same lol. I ended up not buying stuff on sale outside of a volume of Hawkeye for instance. I have a lot of stuff I need to read and buying more doesn't really help.This is one for me. Already started following it this month. Not buying anything that I won't read within a few weeks.

Hm? I mean maybe in sense that certain powersets are harder to write solid stories for so they get less quality books and people go "eh" unless theyre a big nameDoes certain powersets make it harder for a character to headline?
But in the 90s Wonder Man had all the powers including the power to give others powersHm? I mean maybe in sense that certain powersets are harder to write solid stories for so they get less quality books and people go "eh" unless theyre a big name
I feel like Wonder Man had tgat issue in spades
Does certain powersets make it harder for a character to headline?
Headlining is all about popularity. I imagine the power sets play into what makes certain characters more popular than others. I'm sure we're never getting an ongoing series starring Beak.Does certain powersets make it harder for a character to headline?

I think Silver Surfer has had more solo series then most headliners.My exactly. Too much power equals writers going "fuck it he punch thing hard"

Can't get popular if a book is canceled after 3 issues and 2 delaysWhat are the sales receipts on those?
Also Surfer is just hellah popular

It might not be to "not reading comics" but its definitely "read fewer comics". I have a habit of reading things I don't really care about just to keep up on everything. I'd like to ease up on that so I can maybe read more classic runs. There's still some I haven't gotten through. I want to finish my read of all of Iron Man v1, then get through Legion of Super-Heroes v3.
Gambit is a Cajun guy with a bostaff who throws playing cards, and even he can headline his own comic!Does certain powersets make it harder for a character to headline?

If you figure out how to cut out the extraneous, mediocre comics that I feel obligated to read for continuity's sake, please let me know...
I might clean my pull list some more but I've already whittled it down pretty significantly:

And I think that might be it. There's some other stuff I read (Black Hammer and Image) but I usually wait for discounts so that's not so bad.
