Borrowed some of that Bendis/Maleev Daredevil run from my buddy and it's great. My only disappointment is knowing there's probably not a lot about the internal world of Vanessa Fisk. You could make a pretty great movie out of that stuff and thus far she's only had a few pages. He didn't have the Brubaker issues or Superior Foes. Is Marvel Unlimited or whatever the on-demand service is worth it? And for non-Marvel stuff like Zero, is there any option better than just driving down to the comic shop and crossing my fingers?

Whenever you get around to it she does appear more in Brubaker's run though he does things differently with her.

Marvel Unlimited adds new issues six months after they are published. They have pretty much everything published after 1995, but are missing long chunks of runs from before then. It has the entirety of the Bendis and Brubaker runs. It's $10 bucks a month, and for that price I have read literally thousands of comics since February. It's much much better on a tablet, but it may not matter depending on your tolerance for reading on a computer screen at a desk (my tolerance for that is very low).

Hey guys! I'm looking for some Marvel tpb's that are COSMIC (!!!) in nature. I mostly want brilliant artwork on a grand scale, but it wouldn't hurt if there was a decent story that involved Galactus or some Cellestials. What should I get?

Thor: God of Thunder - The God Butcher, The God Bomb and The Last Days of Midgard whenever that comes out. The stories are split into different ages of Thor. In The Last Days of Midgard while the modern Thor's part is grounded on Earth, the ancient Thor of the far future is battling Galactus for the planet, which is ruined and devoid of life. The art is loving brilliant.   The trade I'm skipping between God Bomb and Last Days of Midgard had mediocre art and didn't spend much time at all in space. e: Space Shark.  ee: The new Silver Surfer has amazing Mike Allred art. People are probably gonna follow this post deriding the author, but I think it's great fun. You should try it. Only three issues old though, so no collection yet.

Could I read all of these on Marvel Ultimate? $10/month seems like an awesome deal and I don't think I mind reading comics on my computer. I have a pretty crappy netbook, so it would have to be compatible with Chrome.

It also doesn't have MAX stuff. I don't like either version of the reader (reg or beta if it's still beta) on computer. It's decent on a tablet.

It's also missing random issues, or several random issues in a row in the middle of some runs for some reason.

I have a pretty crappy netbook, so it would have to be compatible with Chrome. I've posted it before, but it's a good resource. I used this as a guide when I first started using Marvel Unlimited: Best Comics on Marvel Digital Unlimited. It really is best on an iPad, but if you want to use a computer, make sure you use the original reader, not the beta. The formatting they use for the new Beta reader made some comics unreadable. The original reader is much more lenient and allows you to move the image around.

You can see the whole catalog without registering, I think, so you can check out if what you want to read is on there. It's 10 bucks, sign up for a month, see if you use it enough to get value. There's at least one TPB's worth of material on it that you probably wanted to read anyway, and a month is cheaper than a TPB, so it's a no-brainer for me.

My kid loves reading and likes the Marvel films/X-men and old Batman cartoons, so I've been letting her pick comics off the self but honestly anytime she's not just grabbed an Adventure Time or MLP comic and picked up something else she's not been all that fond of it after ten minutes. So I was wondering what's on the self at moment that a six year would enjoy so I can maybe point her towards it and see how she feels. Or should I carry on like I have letting her just pick at random and develop her own likes without interfering.

By "old Batman cartoons" do you mean the nineties series or stuff before that? Because if it's the latter she might dig on Batman '66, which is an ongoing series done in the goofy style of silver-age Batman. Also I'm pretty sure Marvel has a comics line for readers her age, Marvel Super Squad or something like that? I don't have any experience with it, I'm sure someone else here can help you though.

Lumberjanes, Bee and Puppycat, IDW Cartoon Network comics, Tiny Titans, Scribblenauts Unmasked. Can't speak to the quality of any of 'em, but I think they're liked and appropriate. Jeff Parker is doing an Angry Birds comic. Maybe that's secretly good

It pretty much solely comes down to how much (if at all) she likes the show, but as long as she's reading comics based on cartoons, DC has a Teen Titans Go book that's pretty humorous. It was digital only but I think they're starting to collect them in actual print comics.

There's also Bravest Warriors, I've not read it myself now but it looks to be much the same style as Adventure Time type stuff.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Has Marvel done anything comparable to DC's Gotham Central? I know there have been a few responses to this already but I wanted to throw in: The current Moon Knight run by Warren Ellis. In this one, Moon Knight is just a crazy guy. No other super heroes popping up, nothing super natural in nature, no super powers. Its loving awesome. 5 issues in and the current writer artist team is only doing one more so its easy to pick up due to its brief, standalone nature. And Southern Bastards. No super heroes at all, just a guy going back to his home town in Alabama after a long time away and finding it being controlled by a gang. Its only 3 issues deep right now so you dont have much to catch up on.

What are some good comics about the Flash? Pretty much all my experience of the character/s comes from Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis. I like the contrast of their mundane family relationships with crazy cosmic adventures, reminds me of Animal Man. That scene in Infinite Crisis where his wife goes into the Speed Force with him was cool even though I have no clue who those characters are. Also hopefully something that's an easy introduction because it's very hard to get my head around all the different Flashes who all mostly look the same. I think there was even a scene in Infinite Crisis where someone says "Hey, it's Flash #3!" and he's like "No, I'm Flash #2 from a different time period wearing Flash #3's outfit."

Mark Waid's Flash run (Wally West), Geoff Johns' Flash run (Wally West) and the new 52 Manapul and Buccellato Flash run (Barry Allen). So that's The Flash v2 from about 62 to 225 (or 'Born to Run' to 'Rogue War' if you're reading trades) and The Flash v4 from 0-25 (or 'Move Forward' to 'Reverse' if you're reading trades). They're all pretty rad though personally the Johns run is my favourite, especially the 'Blitz' storyline.

I just came to the end of Remender's run on Venom. Do I stop now, or bravely press on into Cullen Bunn territory? Edit: The next arc is called "Monsters of Evil," that does not sound promising.

The only real moment of note to come is a brief team-up with Toxin Eddie Brock. There's a lot of dumb bullshit around that, including a very stupid demon subplot.

What's the correct order for reading Astro City and all the various spinoffs, and are there any I should skip? I read it years and years ago, but the two things I associated the most with it were apparently from Top 10 and Powers.
