How's Earth One?

The original Big Tuna.


Earth One is worth it for Gary Frank's art alone. YMMV with Geoff's story, which I liked well enough. Alternate bat-origin, if you're a fan you pretty much know this song and dance already.

It's definitely worth 4 bucks. I love the art. The story is passable.

Not read the book, but how do they get around hiding the fact Skye is really Daisy Johnson?

They don't. In the Daisy issue of the current book they just handwave that she's gotten 'Skye' as a nickname because she's been doing a lot of space stuff lately.
The whole 'she's called Skye and doesn't know who her parents are' thing is a whole-cloth invention of the show and was never a thing in the comics.

They should've included Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D. just to confuse people.

Unless there's something weird about this bundle and this one alone, yes. You just have to go back to the key page that was emailed to you on purchase and the download'll be there alongside everything else.

It can be part of the fun of these bundles, you can sometimes try and guess what they'll add in the second week if the theme is specific enough.

Marvel has been having "difficulties" redeeming a digital code for me since yesterday. Is anyone else having a problem?

Auralsaurus Flex

No problems here. I just redeemed 20 issues last night, but the most recent was from sometime in July.

Are all your codes more recent than that or is there any other similarity among them?

If you want, I can try entering some more stuff I still need to redeem.

It's this week's issue of E is for Extinction. Says it can't find a server. Tried two computers, both on the same network. I dropped them an email. I'll see if they get to me in less than a few weeks like last time.

It's the one book from this week I haven't redeemed yet, I'm getting the usual Wednesday error where they tell you to contact them if it doesn't work 24 hours later. It usually sorts itself out quickly, but this one seems to be taking a bit more time.

If you can deal with the Lunas art, I quite liked Ultra for what it is, a celebrity slice-of-life story with some cape window-dressing.

The only thing I've read by the Lunas is The Sword and it's great. It has their signature (I guess) art style, but I didn't have a problem with it. And the story is great.

See, I hated Ultra. I was actively angry the entire time I was reading it. I felt all the characters were one dimensional stereotypes and the tone would shift wildly. And I didn't care for all the slut shaming that was going on. Good thing I borrowed it and didn't spend any money on it. I hear good things about their other titles, but Ultra was enough to make me never want to read anything else by them.

Girls was my first exposure and I hated it, but I tried and got a soft spot for Alex + Ada. I haven't read the final trade yet, so there's still time for them to waste my goodwill!

The last few sales were themed and a lot more focused. This seems to be an across the line sale.

I mean, I always find something to buy, but a few of the titles on sale this time haven't been on sale in a long time.

It's a good thing I upgraded my tablet yesterday!

Damnit. I'm thinking Criminal, Sex Criminals, and maybe the Fade Out (I didn't like the start, but I loved Fatale). Thank god I don't like Saga.

I'd maybe like to gift W+D to someone. Anyone know how that works?

If we're recommending things: Southern Bastards and Bitch Planet are my favorites of the newer titles that are on sale.
