Oh god, a sequel to White Knight is in the works? Guess not surprising lol.
He also wrote a long thread on twitter last night about a White Knight Animated movie lol. He wants it to be animated in the BTAS style, but with cgi Batmobiles, and Margot Robbie to play one of the Harleys.
Control my spending and hack through this massive backlog.
I think it depends on how integral that powerset is to that character's identity or concept. Blade being a vampire and Dr. Strange being a massively powerful sorcerer are so tied to their identities that it obviously plays a role. Kamala Kahn and Dick Grayson, however, don't need that. Kamala needs a power in order to work, but it doesn't have to be polymorphism. Dick could have powers, but the overall concept is what needs to be kept intact.
So yes and no. It depends on the character combined with that powerset, essentially.
I'm currently pulling:
-Doomsday Clock
-Sideways
-The Terrifics
-Justice League Dark
-Justice League Odyssey
-Heroes in Crisis
-Shazam
-Green Lantern
So, Sidways has two issues I think left. The Terrifics may or may not be ending after three more issues. I can't see myself pulling Odyssey for much longer, but I'm at least going to finish out the first arc.
So that is 2-3 books going away within the next few months. I'll be pulling Shazam and Green Lantern for the foreseeable future. Justice League Dark, we'll see. Might drop it soon and trade wait instead.
Might start pulling Young Justice, but I don't know yet.

Your not pulling Justice League? Did you just not like it?
I feel like I trade wait on pretty much everything these days. It's just much cheaper in the long run, and I don't like waiting each month for the next issue, unless it's something I want to read as it's coming out.
The only things I'm actively pulling each week are:
Justice League
Justice League Dark
Green Lantern
Uncanny X-Men
X-Force
Captain America (even though I've only read the first 2 issues lol)
I'm gunna start pulling GotG when that launches, along with Young Justice. Also Swamp Thing if that ever comes out!

I actually loved Justice League from the first 9 issues I got. I stopped pulling it because it was doing some crossover with Aquaman, and it was the end of Aquaman's run, and I didn't want to start reading Abnett's Aquaman with the actual end of it, lol. I'm going to trade wait or see if they start doing deluxe editions for it.
I hope they do! They did announce a Deluxe Edition for Drowned Earth already lol.
It is HUUUUUGE!
Yeah, personally I definitely want to have my pull list low key still. Unless I don't like it or whatever, I will probably have Young Justice be the only ongoing series from the big two on the list for a little while least. With Image comics, there is that drop to $2 after a month, so I am fine with throwing 1-2 series from there on the list too.
Everything else is going to trades (beside some possible one-shots).
Just finished the Black Mirror Bandersnatch CYOA thing on Netflix. Kinda dissapointed by the ending, but it was alot of fun still. Really want to do something else like it, but a bit longer. I guess my only options are like CYOA books, or visual novel games.
I heard good things about 428 Shibuya Scramble, so I might check that out. Is there anything else that you guys know of? No telltale games though lol.

What systems do you own and what kind of games do you like?
Dear Marvel, please start an in-house statue producer akin to DC Collectibles.
P.S. Do it you fucking cowards.

Don't know if it's very CYOA (it has several endings tho) but I started Va-11Hall-A yesterday and it's fucking incredible. I am in love.
If an issue comes out and I haven't read the previous 1-2 issues, I just drop the title
Coda is ending soon too lol
But why
16 notifications. Never had that many. Thanks for the responses!
I'm surprised by many of your pull lists. I cut a few recently, but my list is not short. A big part of that is because I split most of my comic costs with another person, so it may be similar in terms of total price.

I generally don't keep a traditional pull list anymore. What I do is set a dollar amount each week to spend on comics. Then, when the new stuff goes up on CMX, I go through the new releases and add everything to my cart that looks interesting. Then I look at the finished cart and start removing things I don't really really need until the price is at or under what I decided I want to spend on comics this week.
What is the price?
We have a list of series we buy at release and a list of series we buy on sale.
Hahah, well, that's true. Would you believe, because Boom do that thing where for some series they do a comic stores only trade first, that series still isn't available in regular book channels and won't be until April? At least the wait between trades won't be that long I guess.
It varies. I usually try not to go over $30. Sometimes I can even get it under $20.
Our total together typically is 20-25, and then I probably spend another 15 average on my own stuff. Pretty similar totals.
I didn't understand what you said but I believe Spurrier said it's a maxi and that's it. That's the end
It's a perfectly reasonable amount. I couldn't imagine throwing away $100+ every week on comics.
Oh sorry haha, I am aware it's a maxi lol what I was adding was a separate point but you're totally correct there.
I'll try and rephrase: Boom have an initiative where, for specific series, they will do a "direct market vol 1" and hold off releasing it to the regular market eg. Amazon, for around six months or so. Which makes matters even more annoying in the case of a book that's only 12 issues long in the first place. I should have been able to read a volume 1 for Coda by now but because of exclusivity, I haven't been able to is all.
I own everything accept a XBone. I was just looking for an adventure game/visual novel rec (other than Telltale stuff).
Genius!
Visual novels?! Death Mark on Switch is rad. A bit pricey at $50 but worth it.
Yea ive got an itch after doing that Choose your own adventure Black Mirror episode lol.
Play 428, it's amazing and perfect for this. It was my favorite game this year actually. It's like a big CYOA story and it's a blast thanks to the sharp localization and fun characters.
For general VNs, check out:
-VA-11 HALL-A (pinchy also said this but it's great and offers some interactivity too)
-Muv-Luv Alternative (linear and requires you to play the first game beforehand which is kinda generic anime but Alternative is amazing)
-House in Fata Morgana (little interactivity but incredible writing)
-Utawarerumono series (SRPG mixed with VN)
The Zero Escape games might be for you. If you still have DS or 3DS I would recommend Zero Escape: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors on one of the two platforms. It's special experience that way. Can't say much about the other version of this game, but you could go with ps4 version instead. The only downside would be that the games have Escape rooms, where you have to solve puzzles, so it's not completely story and decisions. I think the IOS version of the first game doesn't have them.
So how much longer until DC Universe is turned into a legitimate Marvel Unlimited contender because now it's getting silly.
Yea 428 seems to be the closest to what im looking for atm. Plus its on sale atm! I did play, and loved, VA-11 HALL-A when it first came out on steam. Thanks!
I'm loving Abnett's Aquaman. I'm almost through Vol 3. The thing I've noticed though, is that Geoff Johns run seemed...cooler? I guess. I think it was more the amazing Reis and Pelletier art than the stories/writing. If Abnett's run had amazing art the whole time like it does from issue #25 onward, I think it would be possibly considered the best Aquaman run.
I feel like their comic selection is seriously lacking. They are still trying to sell people comics, instead of offereing a MU style competitor. Hopefully that business model will change in the future.
I know its wishful thinking, but I really hope MU comes with whatever the Disney streaming service is next year. Or atleast a larger discount for subscribers of both.
They seem to think that kind of thing devalues their books, so probably not any time soon.
