Comic book community is pretty toxic. Just look at JC

It does not come with an apple. Sideshow photographs their pieces next to an apple for scale, so you can see how massive a statue your $500 is buying you.

What if it's just a really large apple.


COMICS! lOTl November 2016: Now that Trump is President we're going back to one Captain America book.

Good job comic bros, you want the same shit and then bitch about same shit.

Fuck off.

And to those wanting diversity, buy the books, online helps loads but the big two still look to old ass dated model of getting comics which stuns me.

Buy the books please if you want diversity.

Between the Omega Men and Vision, Tom King is 2/2 in sticking the landing. I'd really like to see him reunited with Bagenda for the Legion of Super-Heroes Rebirth book, he'd bring an interesting voice to that book and Bagenda would draw the absolute hell out of it.
 
How's Parasyte? I saw it's on sale on Comixology. Looks like it has some crazy body horror going on

If you're reading it digitally, does it go right to left in the Comixology version? I kind of can't stand that with manga...
 
Mockingbird was legit great. That first arc was literally one of my fave arcs of anything ever.

Not only was it a really good book, it was consistent. Which isn't something that you get out of many series.

Marvel needs to do better about LBGTQ and DC needs to do better about minorities.

Look forward to the November OT and our spotlight on the Love is Love special from IDW and DC. :D

I only watched the anime, which I enjoyed. But I've heard really good things about the manga. I have limited experience with manga on CMX, but they generally don't support guided view, which is a real downer.

can't wait. November is a great month for #1. plus snotgirl/spider-man #8 make a return
 
Fraction was writing Thor while Gillen wrote Journey into Mystery, which starred Young Loki, and leads right into Young Avengers.

I meant for the final JMS to be JIM. Gillen's Loki timeline is pretty much "JMS leaves and Marvel need someone to do issues while they find someone else>The Doom arc>Fraction comes in>Gillen does JIM>Thor/JIM crossover>YA>Ewing starts Loki while Gillen keeps working on Vader while helping with Angela later"

Before I unleashed my inner Clark Griswold, review time but FUCK.

New Avengers/Ultimates: Al Ewing is a goddamn treasure.
Spidey/Deadpool: Overwatch jokes! Good issue but ends sudden.
Punisher Halloween Special: Frank, why shoot the bad guy in front of kids you jerk
Doctor Dre and the Sorcerers Supreme: Good start, need my Wiccan fix
NO NOT MERLIN!
Ms. Marvel: Fillery but good kind of filler like a moon pie.
Moon Pie and Devil Cake-asaur: Lunella is smart
SHE BUILT A MEGAZORD!

Yep. There's also Siege: Loki by Gillen and McKelvie, which was the first big Loki thing he wrote, and which gets called back to wonderfully in a Young Avengers issue.
 
Got my key a few hours ago, pre-load ready to go.

Now all I need is a mod that plays the Dragonzord music when I summon my Titan and I'm all set.

Picked up Dishonored 2 as well today. Think I'm done until Winter Sale now.

Don't you know you shouldn't pre-order dishonored 2 :mad:@@@

Lol I have mine ordered too.

I love that
they let the "her new guy friend is obviously also a superhero thing" go without really dwelling on it.


holy crap the Surface Studio might be the bestest digital comics reader

if only Amazon recommissions the Comixology app

I'm just hoping that they'll add splitscreen mode for the iPad.

I may have bought it a little earlier than planned out of spite for that thread. But I was going to buy it anyway so it makes no difference. My mind was made up a long time ago. Games and comics are basically my only indulgences anyway, I live pretty frugal in a lot of other ways. Don't need GAF to tell me how to spend the money I earned.

I cannot wait to play as Emily, though I'll end up doing a Corvo run at some point.

For sure, know yourself man. Preordering this game in particular too, all it means is a vote of confidence in Arkane. The last game was one of the best last gen. I'm pretty much the same, games and comics, no other vices really.

I never could bring myself.to do a high chaos run in the last game. I would always start with the intent then go full stealth haha I'm thinking ill stealth with one, be a beast with the other.

I kinda want to see someone create a character and then write them all the time. Like, that character joins the Avengers and the writer writes an arc of the Avengers. That character teams up with the X-Men and the writer writes the X-Men for a while. That character dies in the Marvel Universe and is revived in DC and the writer goes from Marvel to DC.

I'm really enjoying Simone's Batgirl so far. Only three issues in, but I'm impressed!

Between the Omega Men and Vision, Tom King is 2/2 in sticking the landing. I'd really like to see him reunited with Bagenda for the Legion of Super-Heroes Rebirth book, he'd bring an interesting voice to that book and Bagenda would draw the absolute hell out of it.

I would adore that.
 
I went on GAF and realized everything sucks.

Sounds like a Hickman Reed Richards photoshop waiting to happen.

But yeah, it's kinda hit me too today. I don't really know what to do about it either. I guess the best thing I can do is try to empathise with people.

I haven't even played the first Dishonored. Must get round to it some day.

I had it on launch but I was busy with college at the time. Played it after the Dishonored 2 reveal and loved it. I keep meaning to do the DLC but I don't think I will have time.

I would highly recommend it man. Not only is the dlc/daud campaign awesome, I am ppreeeetty sure that the new game is directly related to the dlc. I've avoided spoilers for the new game as much as I've been able to, but I am fairly sure you would want to have played that for the story.

Nature of the connection, minor spoiler
same villain

Would love for the trade collection of the comic to be out in the next two weeks but amazon says Nov 29th

How is Seven to eternity and Reborn?

Both had excellent 3/4 of a first issue, but each suffered from some standard "tropey" stuff at the end. I would put Reborn a smidge ahead as the setup is so good. And Millar, apparently, likes the bait and switch.

Sometimes amazon dates are late. IST and LCS's may have trades earlier.

It's fantastic. The final few issues were intense as hell.
