Crusade is terrible no matter who you are. You really want to be impressed by how lovely Infinity books can be pick up Infinity Abyss.

But do read Thanos Quest. Only two issues, but they add a lot of depth to the gems and Thanos while putting on a grand style of comics akin to Greek mythology (shut up I like the comparison).

I liked the setting, but found the main character completely void of personality. Then again, I don't really care for Brian Wood.

Endless Mike posted:Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 This is what I use coming from a combo of Ipad 3 and NookHD+. It is excellent for comics and the screen size has a noticeable effect. It is also heavy with its case. There is also the ~$100 cheaper Tab 12.2, I got the Note for "cheap" in SA Mart, it comes with a stylus which I have not tried coloring B&W comics with. If your primary use for the tablet is going to be comics then get this or the Surface 3, the screen size increase is completely worth it. It's especially good with larger euro-style comics or anything from an era where the pages were simply larger. The only thing it made lovely is I bought the Batman 66 run off Comixology without realizing that they are the "guided comics" versions (and there aren't normal ones to buy) and the size of the panels/dead space is grating.

Uthor posted:I don't know, I think the 9" screen on my Nook HD+ is just fine for reading on. Though, yes, get a tablet with Android or iOS on it unless you are into the whole Amazon ecosystem. It sucks not being able to sideload apps on my locked down on. No Amazon Apps of the Day or Humble Bundle games that I have bought for my phone... Secret History of the Foot Clan and the Leonardo, Alopex and Bebop/Rocksteady microseries all stand out. In saying that, there is no *bad* IDW TMNT issue.

I downloaded the Archie app for Afterlife with Archie (which isn't available on the Archie app, go figure), and it was a standalone deal, no comixology integration.

Comixology has a 50% off sale on Luna Brothers comics, including a both collected editions and bundle with 60% off but in all honesty the only thing not in a CE from the bundle is The Sword which I took a disliking to pretty much the second they took their disabled protagonist and fixed her pretty much immediately. Jennifer Blood is also on sale which I enjoyed. Any particular recommendations from the free Archie comics for a new reader.

The only thing of theirs that I've read is Ultra, which, for a comic staring three super powered women who try to save the world, fails the Bechdel test so hard. I was actively angry at the story the whole time I was reading it.

Just reading about the recent part where they let Alan Moore insert his snake god stuff in somehow, it sounds like an interesting thing.

It kind of reminds me of the latter day X-Factor, where it had a cool cast and some really funny moments, but was still just dragging its feet endlessly with absurd plotlines that make no sense when you think about them.

It's been a while since I read it but, at least to start, it's like female punisher but she's still keeping up appearances of normality and with a more personal plot.

I just found comicbookherald.com and it's a fantastic resource for getting read orders on big Marvel events. He's also gone through Unlimited and found the most iconic story lines they have up.

Some issues have a back columns, essays and previews for other comics, but definitely not every issue. No idea if they're all supposed to. e: I bought 15-24 just now and only 21 and 24 had essays, so according to this list http://criminalcomic.blogspot.co.nz/2014/07/30-days-of-fatale-13-reasons-to-buy.html stuff is missing.

Shitshow posted:How do people rate Dr. McNinja? It's free on the Web to check out. I like it, but it's been doing big long story lines of late and I enjoyed the earlier shorter gag stories better. Edit: that omnibus is the earliest B&W comics that were originally self-published before it moved to color and Dark Horse started putting out the trades.

Dr. McNinja is really loving funny. Some of the jokes feel a bit dated by now, but for the most part it totally still holds up and the art gradually gets better and better. I'd be hard pressed to recall any funnier comics right now.
