I know some people like the new Nova series, but it makes my head hurt. If McGuiness wasn't on it, I wouldn't even look at it.

As for good books this week:
Batwoman, Avengers: The Enemy Within, Gambit(which I hadn't read forever and it was just ending the first arc wtf), FF, X-Factor
book of the week:
Wonder Woman

Looks like Red She-Hulk is ending in August and Gambit in September.

Is fractions ff actually good? Can it even compare to hickmans perfection?

**grantlogan** · 2013-05-16 21:37

It's Fraction. C'mon, son.

Spoiler: show

**Delirium** · 2013-05-16 21:37

It is completely and totally different. Much more humor and all. Allred is awesome on it though.

oh yea so i havent touched xforce since issue 1 because it was so laughable. wtf is going on with fantomex?

**Delirium** · 2013-05-17 11:27

so in Remenders run Fantomex split up between his three brains. Cluster, and Fantomex are the "good" ones and Jean-Pierre/Dark Fantomex is the "bad" one. Dark Fantomex has been hunting the other two for reasons yet unknown. Most of the book has been about Psylocke/Spiral/Bishop so far though.

**tyven** · 2013-05-17 14:02

sounds awful they should all get back together and be regular fantomex again

I find it ok. It definitely isn't Dark Angel saga amazing, but how many books are? If it were a Netflix rating it would be a 3(like it).

**grantlogan** · 2013-05-17 19:53

I hate Humphries' characterizations of X-Force.

**KoalaTrap** · 2013-05-17 20:27

The Fantomex split up was Remender's idea but so far Humphries' execution of marvel books has been poor. I gave up on Ultimates (til Fialakov starts up) and UXF isn't the same but I'm still trying.

I know it probably wouldn't sell, but I'd love if someday Remender got a Fantomex ongoing. I know it won't happen, but.. cmon!
He said in his Reddit dealie that he misses Fantomex.

Dark Angel saga was the best storyline of any comic in years IMO, I still reread every other month or so cause it was goddamn awesome.

New UXF is pretty much complete ass though. Like so much of this Marvel Now stuff, characterization is totally off.

Has anyone here read The Filth? Weirdest damn comic I've ever come across. After finishing it I felt like I still don't know what the hell I was supposed to take away from the experience other than surreal confusion. It's like one of those books they'd have you read in English class and then spend several weeks dissecting the symbolism of everything.

**grantlogan** · 2013-05-21 13:43

Welcome to Grant Morrison. The Filth is a classic, loved it.

**grantlogan** · 2013-05-21 20:33

MAA: Looks like Juggernaut is next lockbox hero, lockboxes can be bought for 1 gold per box, dunno how to acquire them otherwise yet. Rulk is on heroes page too, probably next PVP hero.

edit: apparently getting lockboxes will be tied to PVP. 1 win = 1 box, up to 5 per day. LB's will also be in the roulette plus some tasks will be added to get more LB's.

So.. a couple of the lovely websites I would frequent on Wednesday to "preview" .cbrs in complete form have been taken down. If anyone else here knows any other good websites for cbrs I would appreciate a PM!

I do have a physical pull list from my comic book store, but I can't afford to get everything I want to read- it would be like $50-60 a week. I had to trim it down to $15-20 and read the rest online.

**Delirium** · 2013-05-22 11:34

I started out pretty high on the new 52 Green Lantern, but the first lantern crap got old so fast. That being said, if you are going to go out, Geoff Johns went out swinging on GL #20. It really had everything you could ask for in a GL book. It was an outstanding end to Johns GL run.
