Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[Delirium]

A)I doubt she is dead since her solo book isn't ending
B)Amanda Waller has some way to bring the dead back as seen in the most recen suicide squad
C)JLA is worse than JL. At least the Shazam backup in JL is readable. Hate this version of Martian manhunter
D)in reality, they killed Catwoman starting with issue 1 of the new 52 reboot. Horrible series.

So yesterday I realized I haven't really read any Superman books. Gonna try to make up for that and buy up the important ones. So far I'm looking at Death of Superman, World Without Superman, Return of Superman and Last Son of Krypton. Already read Red Son a few months back. Any I'm missing?

[Delirium]

ALL STAR FUCKING SUPERMAN

just a few more
Crisis on Infinite Earths
What’s So Funny about Truth, Justice & the American Way?
Superman for All Seasons
For the Man Who has Everything?

I haven't gotten around to Mark Waid's Kingdom Come yet. Some people swear by it, others hate it. I'm not the biggest Supes fan so idk

[grantlogan]

All Star Superman is the best Superman story ever. I really dont like Superman at all, such a boring character. Morrison really made Superman awesome in this story.

[Krandor]

Up up and away was a pretty solid storyline, part of the whole One Year Later thing DC did following Infinite Crisis.

For the most part though, for anything recent (basically post Death of Superman/Reign of the Supermen) you'll want to stick to Grant Morrison Superman stuff.

All-New X-Men

Spoiler: show

Why the fuck do toe Uncanny Avengers have to explain what they are to Wolverine when he is part of the damned team? I don't mind when Bendis ignores continuity as much as other people, but those books are basically taking place concurrently...

Also, (fake)FIN FANG FOOM!

Big week this week. So amped for East of West 3.

Anyone here going to Heroes Con this weekend in Charlotte?
I'm going and it's my first purely comic book convention so I'm pretty psyched.
Also very psyched to go to Jon Hickman's panel and get him to sign my East of West, Avengers, and Manhattan Projects #1s.

Also hope to snag this if there are any left by the time I find it:

24'' by 36''

[Delirium]

comics I bought this week: Uncanny X-Men 100, Uncanny X-Men 101, Uncanny X-Men 135, Uncanny X-Men 141. X-Force vol1, #1.

Spoiler: show

also Avengers Arena(might drop after this issue, despite having X-23), Avengers, SSM, X-Factor(5 more issues /cry), ANXM(already bleh'd), East of West, Astro City, Bedlam, Ten Grand

[Kaslo]

I need Kick-Ass 3 1 :/

[Delirium]

Bedlam - those first 3 pages were fucking nuts
Astro City - I never read it before. Even though they renumbered to 1, it obviously takes place after the previous stuff. It was very pretty, but it didn't quite grab me. Perhaps if I had read the rest
Ten Grand - brutal in some scenes, but very cool. The last page was an amazing piece of art
East of West - Hickman is freaking killing it on this book. If you aren't reading it, I will be all surly grantlogan-esque to you ;P

[grantlogan]

rofl. I am loving East of West and I like how Hickman did the story in mid res style. The bartender's eyeball is now on my top 10 list of favorite characters.

Mighty Avengers

For the past several days, Marvel Comics has been teasing fans with a graphic labeled "Mighty" featuring a growing number of icons representing their superheroes and assembled in the design style championed by writer Jonathan Hickman. The accumulated images have led many to expect that the publisher will be launching a new "Mighty Avengers" title out of their incoming "Infinity" event series, and today they confirmed it.

As part of their latest "Next Big Thing" press call, Marvel assembled writer Al Ewing, SVP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort and more to confirm that a new volume of "Mighty Avengers" will debut this September from the writer and artist Greg Land and will feature a team including Power Man, She-Hulk, White Tiger and Blue Marvel.

Land is on art? Not reading at all.

Seems like the team is Luke Cage, that other Power Man, She-Hulk, Blue Marvel, White Tiger2, SSM, Monica Rambeau, and someone in the Ronin costume.

[Tajin]

I really wish they would kill fucking Vulture already, and aunt may while we're at it.

[Delirium]

Rucka killed off a Vulture in his awesome Punisher run

[Vagrant]

MAA: Spec Ops 10 just went live with Wonder Man. And Constrictor too apparently? He is currently listed on the team recruitment page as a lockbox hero.

[KoalaTrap]

Awesome first day at heroes con. Got like 20 books signed. Favorite ppl so far:
Nick Pitarra (Manhattan projects artist) is a goof and very friendly. Did a free Daghlian sketch on my MP 1. Hickman was very cool too. Said he thinks East of West is the best thing he's written.
Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT) lit a trade I bought on fire to reveal a secret and did sketches in both books I picked up. Really nice guy.
I got to see a girl who dressed up as Electric Ghost from the final Winter Soldier arc make its writer Jason Latour's day.

Lots of fun at my first purely comic book con.

[tyven]

if remender is there definitely go holler, as someone earlier posted he will literally sit there and bullshit with you for as long as you want. he'll talk music, other comics, whatever the f you bring up. Really fucking cool

[Kaslo]

fuck unstoppable lockboxes... no juggie for me for awhile it seems (I opened 210 boxes (10 at a time) and am only 6/8...

That sucks. I was lucky and got him from LB's I acquired from PVP.

[Vagrant]

Same here and I currently have 6/8 on Constrictor from Spec Ops also.

Some leaked info apparently too. The next PVP hero is X-Force's Angel(Archangel perhaps though they might save that for an Apocalypse themed spec ops alt). Season 2 starts on June 18th when the game is released on iOS devices and chapter 1 mastery reward is the alt white suit for Iron Fist in place of a golden weapon.
