My god, issue #11 of Batman is beautiful. Excuse me if this comes off as hyperbole but that was Morrison-levels of good Batman writing. The build up with Lincoln March dragging Bruce through Gotham and explaining how he envisaged the city and the final few pages between Bruce and Dick Grayson. Just loving beautiful.

redbackground posted:Man, I really wanted to love it but it was so, so pedestrian and well, dull. What I read was nowhere near the quality of his Chew output. I say don't bother. Yeah that's what I was afraid of from the lack of hearing anything about it. I'll still probably read it if my library gets a copy but I'll keep my expectations tempered. A shame, as Chew is really one of my favorite comics of the past several years.

I feel the same way, and drat if this ending wasn't a great sendoff. I know people have been hot and cold on this series, and it's not crazy JiM ending, but I thought it was a really cool ride, and I'll be sad to see my favorite team probably fade into obscurity again. On the plus side Gillen is doing some cool Image stuff, and Phonogram vol 3 should be out sometime? This year? Maybe?

Hey, this series ending on a definitive note is a million times better than how Allan Heinberg left the book the last couple times. And in a year or two when someone pitches a great Young Avengers story, you'll be happy to see these characters again.

But yeah, I like the idea of different creators coming along, and doing kinda short runs with the characters. It'd actually be a kinda neat direction for a lot of the lesser known characters I think. Something to look forward to.

The Wikipedia page for Uncanny Avengers sure is dry: Havok's speech in #5 in which he rejected his mutant identity because it represented everything he hates, and Remender's response to detractors to "drown yourself [in] hobo piss," caused some controversy.[12][13]

Madkal posted:There is always Tarot. Or those Brothers Grimm comics I see at the LCBS that seem...interesting...? Holy poo poo let me tell you about Grimm Fairy Tales. You look at those books and you think "Wow, I bet those books are garbage and the only reason nerds buy them is to jack off", don't you? You'd be wrong. I read a couple of them once because I believe in hating things right and it's like the least cheesecake poo poo ever, on top of being a bland garbage bullshit book. The only tits are on the front cover. There is literally no reason to ever read those comics, gently caress Zenescope forever.

If you're keeping up with the Image Expo you can see Image basically murder the competition in real time.

"Sean [Phillips] and I are doing a five-year deal with Image where basically we can do whatever we want, and they have to publish it," Brubaker says. Hell yes? Hell yes. Hell, yes!

Teenage Fansub posted:Wow. Vertigo can't be too happy about a Snyder creator owned going to Image. Vertigo's been swirling for a while now. I'm kinda surprised Carey/Gross haven't jumped to something else yet. I know Carey has Suicide Risk (highly underrated) on Boom but if they took something to Image, it would be a killing blow. Snyder and Jock at Image on a project makes my panties all moist. Snyder's done some great creator owned stuff (Severed still creeps the poo poo out of me) and I hope a reduction of editorial interference and pairing back with Jock brings back some of that amazing Detective Comics magic. Also, a lot of people hated Tocchini on Uncanny X-Force but he knocked it out of the park with Last Days of American Crime with Remender, so I'm really excited for their new project too. On the whole, there's nary a comic here I don't want to get. RevKrule fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Jan 9, 2014 |

Well yeah but that's not hard. I guess it could be worse, Vertigo could be Icon. Also it's crazy to note that on top of all of that Image stuff is the likes of the return of Stray Bullets, end of Prophet and all the good books they're still publishing.

I have to admit, Brubaker and Philips' new "We can make whatever we want and they have to publish it" contract is one of the strangest things I've heard of in comics. Should lead to some interesting stuff.

I think he just releases all of his long form graphic novels through other publishers because it's (probably) a much better deal for him.

I genuinely hope some of those titles suck, because I won't have time to read them all if they're good. They haven't even mentioned Southern Bastards yet.

Coffin Hill is legit good. That's all I have to say about Vertigo these days. I bet those stupid V boxed sets with the masks make them a decent about of scratch considering how many we sell.

Zeike posted:Couldnt find a thread for this so Ill ask here. What kind of sleeves do you recommend for trading cards? I have a bunch from ages ago and never used sleeves. Id like them to be totally closed though(prefer single over those sheets). Ultra Pro makes basic "penny sleeves" in packs of 100 for 80-99 cents. In other news, I intercepted stolen comics today. These sketchy dude's brought in three boxes and they had no idea what they had. Kept talking about how the bagged ones had never been opened, never touched blah blah. Then I recognized the boxes. A former employee of the store was robbed a month ago and had posted pictures of the aftermath. The boxes in the pictures were decorated with clippings from Previews, same as the boxes in front of me. So I stalled the guys for a bit, sent out a few messages while pretending to look stuff up on ebay. Got no response and by luck UPS arrived so I told the shifty dudes that I had a time sensitive shipment to work on and asked if they could come back tomorrow. And in a testament to their stupidity they said it was cool if I worked on it tonight, they'd leave the boxes and come back tomorrow. We contacted the owners and they came in, IDed the boxes and he was even able to tell me what was in each box. So the cops came, we did the report and they'll be waiting for the call tomorrow morning so we can catch these assholes. So I'm now going in to open with the boss and hoping to spring the trap.

McSpanky posted:That loving rules, way to go on a comic book sting. The only bad thing is this just 3 boxes out of a dozen or more that were stolen. Plus he won't actually get them back if we get these guys. Conservatively there's $2000 worth of comics in these boxes (first Deadpool, Secret Wars #8, first Gambit etc) so they'll get grand theft which means this stuff will be documented evidence. On the plus side, they're pretty sure these are their former neighbors so it might prompt a warrant, hopefully the rest of the stuff is still around.
