I'm seven issues in (ironically) and it's really really good so far. Reminds me of 52 a little, which is never a bad thing.


That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
appropriately, or coincidentally would be better.

1) you mean coincidentally

2) Are you reading Invincible yet?

1) If you don't use ironically inappropriately, you're not American and probably a terrorist.

2) No, not yet.

Kay, I finished Seven Soldiers.

Image

It was pretty great. Definitely the most unconventional team-up/cross-over event series around and it works as a prequel/precursor to Final Crisis as well. I recommend it if you're looking for something a little bit different to read.

A truly awesome "Elseworlds" tale, with a unique take on Jack the Ripper. I highly recommend it to anybody who is a fan of comics that are well written and have pretty art.

Batman: Year 100

A cool and interesting story that takes place in 2039, one hundred years after the first appearance of Batman. The ending raises a lot of questions, but it was good overall and the art is fantastic. I also liked how this Batman further embraced his animal-like and supernatural nature cast on him by the citizens of Gotham.

this topis isn't for recommending ANYTHING... it's just the last thing we've read, and sometimes we read bad things.

Walter Simonson Thor Omnibus

Forty-eight issues of pure epic awesomeness. And Beta Ray Bill aside, Balder needs to be in Thor 2.

So awesome and such a great value. It collects everything from Morrison's run right up until Batman R.I.P.

I gotta get that, shame I never have time for reading these days :(

although I am reading A Scanner Darkly, which is surprisingly similar to the movie, just with more scenes.

No, it ends right before Batman R.I.P.

Edit: Hey, speaking of Batman R.I.P., I also bought this.

I've already read it twice, but it's just so awesome and re-readable.

I just got all caught up on Hickman's Fantastic Four/FF run... it truly is the World's Greatest Comic Magazine. Other than Batman and Invincible it's easily the best Superhero comic right now.

Batman: Death by Design

Image

This was a really cool story. It really evokes the feel of a black and white movie as well as the early Golden Age Batman stories while even making a bit of reference to the 40's Batman serials. And it was clearly a labor of love with a lot of work put into it. I really recommend it.

As with most Grant Morrison stuff, I can't stress how awesome this is. It's pretty cool how it recounts Superman's early days starting at a street level sort of angle while swiftly moving onto the crazy science-fictional concepts Superman comics are known for. All while setting setting up multiple plot points to play out in future issues as well as the ones coming out right now. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested in reading some good Superman comics.

Action has been really good.
