Really looking forward to pretty deadly, this week new saga, next lazarus #3 and revival 13, jawsome.

Pretty Deadly looks awesome. I love Emma Rios art. I'm hot and cold with Kelly Sue though. Captain Marvel started really well but it's crap now imo.

So much good stuff comes out tomorrow. Saga, EAST OF WEST!, the end of the Gorr saga in Thor, TWD and I'm actually excited to read a Marvel event for once with Infinity. I think Hickman will start to pay back the incredibly long set up that's been going on in Avengers. Pretty lame the book is 4.99 though.

The best off-the-radar thing I've read recently was a digital only creator release from Joshua Hale Fialakov called the Bunker. It's about 5 friends who find a bunker that has 4 of their names on the door and inside they find letters written to them from their future selves. Awesome story idea and where it goes is pretty epic. I highly recommend it. It's 1.99 on comixology.

If anyone here is checking Infinity out tomorrow and needs a refresher on what's been going on in New Avengers/Avengers <redacted> has an awesome article about all the different moving parts.

**Krandor** · 2013-08-13 21:28

Hopefully they finally explain why Thanos, Star-Lord, and Drax are all alive and well in the 616. And maybe tell us where the fuck Dick Ryder is at.

**Kyo** · 2013-08-13 22:27

Hopefully its a good event, Avengers Vs X-men and age of ultron werent that great.

Just started reading chew, I like it so far, not a huge fan of the art tho.

I didnt like the bunker at all.

Doubtful since it was Bendis who changed shit.

Did we ever get info on Black Bolt also? He was dead courtesy of War of Kings and then randomly returned in Fantastic Four but I don't remember if there was ever any mention of how he was alive again.

Well Comicvine reviewed Infinity Issue 1 yesterday, said that instead of trying to feel epic, it just is. And that it doesn't feel so much like an event than more an evolution of Avengers/New Avengers.

Well, comic book death 101, never saw a body during War of Kings. Apparently he just got sucked into the Cancerverse and was hanging out doing his thing until the dog (can't remember name right now) decided to go look for him.

Lockjaw nigga!

**Kaslo** · 2013-08-14 12:39

God Eva is the best mutant of the last decade, I swear.

**KoalaTrap** · 2013-08-14 14:43

Comic book store shorted the box that had Thor, Batman, The Walking Dead and Saga. FML
Going back tomorrow because it's fucking Saga.

**Krandor** · 2013-08-14 15:29

Goddamn, did not expect Infinity#1 to be so freaking huge. With Hickman running the show hopefully this ends up being awesome.

**tyven** · 2013-08-14 21:55

im a few issues behind on avengers and new avengers. should i wait on infinity?

**Krandor** · 2013-08-14 22:13

Prolly, it's basically a direct extension of what's been happening in Avengers and New Avengers.

**Kyo** · 2013-08-14 22:59

New Saga was fantastic as always, my store got screwed on books as well, bought it online anyway, I'll buy physical later. Does anyone know a good online comic retailer besides midtown, they're currently out of stock on some shit I need. The store owner here turned into a huge dick and I plan to find other means for books but its the only store within 40 miles.
