Disagree. I actually enjoyed the Nobody Arc. Yeah, the brief one after that was a little lackluster, but not enough to ruin the experience.

But opinions.

It was not my intention to imply that what I said is fact. Of course it's also an opinion. Personally I just didn't enjoy the first few issues of Batman&Robin and then dropped it. I only picked it up again after
Robin's death
and since then it's been constantly strong imo.

Forgive me! I didn't mean to imply you were stating fact. I was pointing out we had differing opinions to be considered. <3

but I am taking tiny steps forward
I plan to read both Batman and Batman and Robin when they're released in some form of oversized hardcover, whether it's deluxe editions or omnibuses or whatever (I know, I'll probably be waiting decades, knowing DC), but I'm probably most excited to read B&R. I just can't get enough of Bruce and Damian (I'd prefer Dick and Damian, but Bruce and Damian is a close second). The Batman & ______ issues after Damian went also seem really cool.
Now just hurry up on my oversized hardcovers, DC...

So who's buying Big Damn Sin City? I haven't read the series in years, so I'll definitely pick it up for 50% off at IST.
Click to expand...

I've been so looking forward to this ever since it was announced. I'm definitely gonna place my IST order the day it's released. I love Miller but I haven't read Sin City yet, so I'm super excited.
I have a feeling it'll look nice next to Colossal Conan on my shelf, too. Haha
I still can't believe what a deal Big Damn Sin City is. It's 1300 pages and Absolute edition-sized, all for $100 MSRP. Omnibuses of that size that aren't Absolute-sized cost $125-$150 and DC's Absolute editions are $100 for a 400 page story. Any way you look at it, that's crazy good value.
The other amazing thing is that while Colossal Conan was 1200 pages, it was $150 MSRP (which is still pretty great value), but Sin City is 100 pages more (in the same giant format) for $50 less. Dark Horse is too good to us.

Preordered mine months ago. Will be my first insight in Sin City.

How tall are Absolute Editon-sized books? Compared to Marvel Omnibuses?

Omnibuses/deluxe editions/oversized hardcovers are just over 11" tall and Absolute Editions are about 12.5" tall. Also proportionally wider, obviously.

Apparently Grant Morrison is interested in a long run on the Flash. I fully support this idea, DC should exercise some editorial interference and get him on the book if this is true.

I fully support any new Grant Morrison ongoing. Would it be too much to ask for him to team up with Chris Burnham on it too?

Burnham drawing the Flash would be amazing. He also seems to be Morrison's main collaborator at this point, so I could see it happening.

For JLU, issue 0 is the first part of the story arc but it is really bad and not indicative of how fun issue 1 is.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I agree. United seems like it'll be good, I'm gonna stick with it. The main Justice League book hasn't been doing it for me since maybe Throne of Atlantis. I might give the Lex arc one more issue and then drop.

Finished up Avengers Arena and I feel like I just binge watched a TV show. It was a solid read, I didn't even know most of these heroes and the series did a pretty good job presenting them. The only problem I had with it was some of the kids personalities clashed too hard and some became bland.

Spoilers:

-Cammi was my favorite, I want to read more of her.

-Red Raven's death was lame and kind of obvious.

-I was spoiled on Nico's death and resurrection so that didn't have much impact.

-Darkhawk's amulet getting passed around was pretty fun.

-Some of the deaths had little to no impact ie poor Juston

Good read

My favourite book of Marvel Now. Undercover hasn't been as good but I'm really interested in where it's going. Kev Walker is one of my current fav artists.

So much truth. This is why I'm looking forward to Axis.

well the first arc of amazing xmen is okay if you like sugary sweet hugfests, but the new writers taking it over are the 2 worst writers in comics history.

Aw, I liked the first arc. The last issue with the Amazing Friends was good too. I'm probably done with it now though.

I would happily buy Morrison's Flash book, but I wonder if you could actually do what he says in full continuity where the fact the science is such bollocks is very well established.

Is Pee Gee in any non world finest book?
Click to expand...

Currently, no. She was in the Batman/Superman 4 issue crossover and she is going to be in the upcoming Earth 2: World's End weekly starting in October.

If you haven't read it, you might try reading Worlds' Finest #0 as a standalone, though. It's a flashback to Karen and Helena as Supergirl / Robin on Earth 2. Or go back and get Generation Lost #1-25. She is a major part of that. Or the older JSA stuff,

Pretty short week so I might also pick up Tiny Titans because I loved the previous run. Also getting my Bloodspell HC through the post tomorrow, can't wait for that.

Morrison and Burnham on Flash? Morrison and Burnham doing the Rogues? Morrison already writes an excellent Mirror Master, so I'd be infinitely interested in all of this actually happening.

Because she has traditionally been a rather weird character. Originally she was Supergirl. Then she was a Supergirl from a world that didn't exist anymore. Then she was an Atlantean. Then she was Kryptonian again. Aside from that she really hasn't had that many definitive runs. As to why she hasn't been in much of the New 52? I don't know. She and Helena were shunted into this weird pocket to do their own thing and never really interacted with much else, outside of Helena and Damian.

I forgot that she was in Suicide Squad for a bit. The earth 2 version.

So rereading Original Sin so far, I'm really curious to find out who the "mysterious boss" character is
the guy who set Black Panther on several tracks.
Are there any theories floating around?

Digging in the Flash mythos, he could do some amazing stuff. I always feel Waid doesn't get nearly enough credit for all he did in that regard (at least compared to Johns). Yes, please !

Right...so. Up on Uncanny Avengers through the end of Ragnarok Now.

I need to just sit here for awhile and think about all that.

Then I need to get started on Planet X right away, because
DOOM 2099.
