Every single issue so far has been excellent. I adore it.

I missed this, but if not for Geoff Johns no one would ever know about Courtney Whitmore. She about to get a whole TV show though.
Yeah, it's notoriously confusing. And most of the volumes are out of print, too.
Pretty sure he's a part of the show too. So, y'know, he's the sole reason for Stargirl haha
Getting close to the end of Leverage's final season. They are really padding these last 2 seasons with these spin off episodes, if you can call them that. Theyre not bad, but they should have spread them out a bit more. Think ill finish the show tomorrow and I already wish there was more.
Yup.
Hey, while your here, do you know how many omnis Blade of the Immortal will be? Thought they were all out till I saw the 9th one was up for pre-order. Also, have you seen the movie?
It should be ten since each one is 3 volumes in one and there's 30 volumes in total.
And yeah, I actually saw the movie before reading the manga.
no lol, im watching the show after getting it recommended by a few here. Id read a comic based on the show though!
Did you like the movie? I remember hearing about it and seeing the trailers but I never got around to watching it.
I thought it was pretty good, I ended up watching it since Priscilla Page liked it so much and I tend to agree with her views on film. Though I didn't love it like she did.
Oh sorry lol, I got confused and thought I was in the wrong thread lmao.
I don't know if you've seen or heard of Hustle (UK tv show), but I really really recommend that. Iirc, Leverage was based on it.
Sorry should've specified. Its the OG Secret Wars, haven't read it yet, will be my first time!! (don't know the release year of it)

Yeah it was pretty damn fantastic. As is Thanos legacy and Cosmic Ghost Rider. Both follow that arc.
Yea just wrapped the Omni, not my first time reading the MM story(read it in trade), but a lot of the added issues in the Omni were new to me and most did highlight a lot of the fallout.
Just starting the Fall of the Mutants trades now, my first time reading it, probably dive into Inferno after. Keep going until I need a break I think.
I got around to reading an American comic for the first time in a while. I picked Green Lantern #3. Can we just have Morrison write this forever? Everything here was perfect. Using the Green Lanterns and Hal Jordan to do commentary on the American police system is brilliant. And without getting too spoilery, it reminds me of Zenith which is awesome. I think anyone who has read that will understand what I mean. I adore how hard it's leaning on the 2000AD style. I can't recommend this enough, it's easily the most interesting DC book right now.
I also started Dementia 21 based off of whatsinaname's previous recommendation. I'm familiar with the art here, but everything else is all new to me. It's full of some really dark humor so far but I'm enjoying it. Only got 3 chapters in, but the absurdity of the situations and conflicts in each one has been very funny so far. It's not what I was expecting at all and the body-horror art is too cool. It's a really interesting contrast.

That's a nice little run through those three stories. Fall of the Mutants sets up one of the better eras of UXM and my favorite X book from that era.
To be fair those are also my favorite characters. Plus All-Might and Asui.
VanWinkle reading Astro City and Wild Storm on the same day. How can you go back to regular comics after this.
Overall, I ended up liking it more than the movie. It was great how he was able to keep the book so succinct and yet give it such a large scale.
Did you order it from Barnes & Noble, or somewhere else?
Expect lots of 9 panel grids
Amazon. I'm trying to get away from ordering my trades from Amazon, since I'd rather go through IST or even a local shop. The Prime shipping and cash back I get is hard to beat, though.
Assuming this is the King version - you should expect the complete story, because all 12 issues are in that single tpb.
Looking forward to it myself, since I only read the first issue. Waiting on a hardcover for physical, though.

The reason I asked about the B&N version of the Mister Miracle tpb is because they have some sort of exclusive version. Looks like all that's different though is the cover (which is neat) and it has the script for the first issue. BC said it was a hardcover, but it doesn't look like it actually is.
All versions though come with a neat prologue that's supposed to give people a primer on the new gods.

LOL. I can't wait for him to finally release his book and fail.
