Man, fell behind on the thread and spent a while catching up, whoops. Fortunately (?) most of the tweets weren't loading on my phone, so that sped things up, though... (seriously though ended up like 60 pages behind on this thread, so it took a while to read all that. Which maybe I didn't NEED to do, but this is how I keep up with comic book stuff, dang it!)

Anyway, haven't read any American comics since falling off, but I DID read through volumes 1-39 of Berserk for the first time ever (still need to import 40), and started reading Tezuka's Phoenix, which is just insanely good considering its vintage especially.

I want to get into Berserk but I'm scared off both by its amount of books and the prospect of Muira dying before he finishes.

Speaking of reading, I keep reading Lone Wolf and Cub and I'm starting to think this might just be the best samurai manga there is. It might even be better than Tokyo Ghost, Remender-san's best manga.

Aizo-san, I'm really gonna start reading Junji Ito this time. I just gotta read the last issue of Sandman Overture tonight then I'm gonna start either Tomie or Uzumaki. Also gonna pick up Frankenstein from IST this week.
Bless you. I think I started with Uzumaki long ago, so I think that could treat you well. I didn't even know his Frankenstein was translated (?)

What's Frankenstein? Another Ito work?

I loved Uzumaki but I never read Gyo.

Yeah, Ito made a straight up comic adaptation of Frankenstein.

It's worth noting that this release also includes other stories.

Junji Ito meets Mary Shelley! The master of horror manga bends all his skill into bringing the anguished and solitary monster-and the fouler beast who created him-to life with the brilliantly detailed chiaroscuro he is known for.
Also included are six tales of Oshikiri-a high school student who lives in a decaying mansion connected to a haunted parallel world. Uncanny doppelgangers, unfortunately murdered friends, and a whole lot more are in store for him.
Bonus: The Ito family dog! Thrill to the adventures of Non-non Ito, an adorable Maltese!

So it looks like Unexpected and Suicide Squad are cancelled. I guess this means the Azzarello Sucide Squad book will be a relaunch.

Yeah, it looks like there isn't going to be an issue of Shazam in January.

I would rather the Suicide Squad book ends as one big run for Williams. Thats cool. Its been a really good book.

Who's the astronaut?

No idea. It's a romance anthology. She probably bangs Darkseid.
Sometimes love can make you feel like you're from another planet...but what if you actually were? Join Superman, The New Gods, Green Lantern, Starro, Hawkgirl and even the Teen Titans' new sensation Crush for eight tales of romance that will whisk you to the moon and back!

So the Bensons are gone from Arrow


Was wondering about that. Are we sure it's permanent? Of all the post-Percy teams I think their arc was the best (Children of Vahkar), so I'd be down.

Either way the first Rebirth Deluxe edition is out this week so I've got that to look forward to.

Picked up the 4 Hellboy omnibuses from Comixology for $5 each. I've read a couple of the trades and drug what I read so I'm excited to dig in.

Omg, DC is renaming Dick Grayson to Ric Grayson LOL

A change that the DC executives have been wanting to make for several years, due to unfortunate connotations with that name in recent decades. And they have taken this moment of amnesia/shock/bullet-through-the-head and taken full advantage of the opportunity granted them. Because this Nightwing? You don't know Dick. No one does…


Someone please stop DiDio! Seriously, anyone... Please stop this mad man,
