It's about damn time. Missed them more than the legion.
I just saw some of the new LSH character designs on Bleeding Cool. I love them. Isn't this new LSH supposed to be set 100 years after the one we know? That could easily mean it's a brand new team with the same/similar powers to the originals but all new looks. Would make sense they hook up with Jon rather than Clark at that point.
Cant believe you guys got Psychbat banned lol. Cant see the gif, so dont know how bad it was.
Its so good.Man, I am just loving Olivier Coipel's art in The Legion so much.
Thats ok. Its a great run, but you can totally go back to it at any point. Messiah War will catch you up, but if you are pressed for time, War is the only one out of the three that can be skipped if need be.

From which series is that from? The new upcoming one?
It's from the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning run from the early 2000s. Like right before they did their big cosmic epic at Marvel with the gotg.
Damn. X-Men really is the best soap opera comics. I'm really glad I read The Adventures of Cyclops & Phoenix before Messiah Complex, it really made that ending hit hard as hell.
I guess having an infant daughter makes me super emotional about these things, too.
Thanks. I need to take inventory of what my next few weeks look like. I kind of want to finish Second Coming before HoX/PoX drop.

All caught up on Venom and the Web of Venom stuff, ready for Absolute Carnage. Considered skipping the War of the Realms tie-in stuff but honestly it didn't need a ton of knowledge to read and the issues with the dream crystal thing were actually sort of fun! It does feel like the pacing of the series grinded to a halt a bit though. Loved the first arc but it really does feel like spinning wheels in some respects.
I think reading mainly in trades when I was a wee lad sort of obfuscated the issues with massive crossover events and the effects they have on storytelling. It does seem like there are more events now than there were in the past though........ or is that just nostalgia goggles?
X-Men is gonna be awesome but I don't think it will be the greatest piece of art ever created by humankind so no

Are all these variants for X-Men on the last pages official?
We should probably post them in the Hickman X-Men thread as well, or I can do it.

New Allred but also new Milligan...
Need a shift away from manga. Can anyone recommend some fantasy and sci-fi graphic novels that are non-cape stories?
No Saga, No Sex Criminals. Quirk is good too.

Flash Gordon Zeigiest? I guess thats kind of capey tho. Anyone know any good space kung fu comics?
That Omnibus was on clearance forever. It came out in like 2011 and I got it for 25 canadian. I still saw it on shelves last year. It's done.

I read a bit of Red Sonja by Gail Simone and enjoyed the first arc so much I went back and started reading the earlier Dynamite runs(grabbed a bunch of the trades on a CMX sale) though only read a few issues, its good fantasy adventure.
Same for the Dark Horse Conan run by Busiek. Still need to read through it all, but the early issues impressed me. Marvel is re-issuing this run as epic collections now, so that is currently the only way to get them on CMX I think.
"Mild NSFW content" got him a ban? I thought the gif was funny. Somebody snitched.
We are in the spotlight, mods must be paying closer attention.
I thought we were done with those painfully unfunny FilthyFrank gifs, apparently not.
I remember writing a script at the old place so I could block gifs in comicgaf threads...

Can you write a script that blocks comic talk? It'd be fairly useless in here but it'd be nice to have
Thats a great idea. Guess the X-Men Grand Design was pretty successful.
Finished Dini's Heart of Hush. That was awesome. If your a fan of the Bruce and Selina relationship its really worth checking out. Just know that it takes places right before Morrion's RIP. Onto Streets of Gotham next.
Not really, at least not since the last spotlight lol.
Really looking forward to this. Some earlier FF is almost as insane as X-Men, so it's a good fit. Also reminds me I need to finish Grand Design 2 before 3 comes out.
He likes to post a bunch of random Filthy Frank gifs for some reason. It's penguin of doom-esque.
i already own x-force so i was like 'let me read one issue while i have downtime between meetings'
damn i might be in it 100%. love religious cult nonsense.
Yeah, they were included. The omnibus features everything related to the event, as far as I know. And the mapping is excellent. I'm guessing I was just jarred by so many of the tie-ins being written early in the timeline. So when it came to actually dealing with Nekron, the lanterns burned through it in just a few issues and the characters from the tie-ins mostly disappeared into the background.
The first time I read Blackest Night I definitely didn't read the tie-ins, so the pacing probably felt a lot stronger since it was just GL, GLC, and Blackest Night.

I read the Raven GN that released last week. I've always been a fan of Raven, so reading Wolfman/Perez Teen Titans to the very end of its run is a painful thing. I feel like she's never been properly utilized. So many stories just rehash the same themes of Trigon, uncontrolled emotions, evil within, etc. I thought this new GN had nothing really terrible (though you can make a case that I feel unfit for regarding stereotypes and voodoo, but that seemed mostly tasteful to my untrained eye), and I bet new readers will like it. I just kinda felt unimpressed. Hopefully it leads to something worthwhile as the team is assembled.
I think we can agree that these are some good gifs.
Fantastic Four Grand Design by Scioli is probably the most interested I've ever been in F4
X-cellent should be fun too if only for Allred. Cautiously optimistic on that.
