Endless Mike posted:FYI: Diamond says it's shipping to comic stores next week (Amazon's listing doesn't have it coming until July). You're probably not finding it since they're just calling is Uber Vol. 6 rather than Uber: Invasion Vol. 1. Nice, thanks. Pre-ordered from Amazon so we'll see.

Is Uber the most popular indie comic on these boards or just the one with the most releasing problems?

Any indie comic that manages to maintain its own thread is obviously more popular than Uber, But yeah, its release problems seem to generate a decent bit of discussion.

I'm glad Jen Bartel is getting more work, even if the book itself doesn't interest me. Jook joint I'll at least check out the first issue. Having a book capitalizing on #metoo written by a guy is the most tone deaf poo poo tho

Ok so I’m an idiot and saw there’s a  vs comic out and it’s your classic old show meets new show but issue 2 has the most batshit insane idea / throwaway plot I’ve ever seen and I loving love it for it. So quick recap in the off chance you don’t know anything about BSG: Humans made cylons, cylons rebelled, humans almost all die but a few escape. In the new show, they introduce the concept of skin jobs: cylons that are “human” and used to infiltrate and sabotage humanity’s efforts. As a relevant side note: Richard Hatch played Apollo (Commander Adama’s son) in the old show and Tom Zarek, a terrorist and politician, in the new show. So issue two has the crews meet and Adama is introducing everyone to Adama until old show Apollo is introduced... and the new show crew proceeds to freak out and have their marines point their guns at the old crew. Turns out Apollo and Tom Zarek looks exactly the same so the new crew thinks they’re cylons for a little while.

IUG posted:I am, but in trades. I feel like if I can’t buy it from the beginning, I can’t buy it monthly after catching up. Do the trades have the letters pages? I mean I'd assume not, but they're a pretty big part of the comic to the point that it's quite notable that this issue only had one. Well, two, but the second one was mostly for the purposes of responding "Maybe more letters aren't a good idea this time" because the first was a very long letter and response about miscarriage. On the other end of the spectrum, the recap page was to the tune of Livin' on a Prayer. Went to the ol store just yesterday and just about poo poo to find Black Monday Murders, Monstress, and Sex Crims waiting for me. That's like witnessing a demon loving another demon loving a unicorn during a total eclipse.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Saga started so good for me but then after 2 volumes or so it now feels completely aimless and just spinning wheels until he figures out what he wants to do with the story. S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:I would agree with this. The time jump / drug addiction story was awful. Then it gets better, and then you see a dragon getting itself off... I feel like Saga lives on hype, and a solid first 12 issues. Like at this point I almost feel like Descender is consistently a better series but I'm not super into either.

I remember loving it but it lost me at some point. everyone gushed so much about it i thought i was crazy for having this opinion though i never loved it but thought it was entertaining Jordan7hm posted:Brian K Vaughn . Txt ex machina was pretty consistent and never felt meandering (loved how vaughan managed to keep something about the mayor of new york largely nonpartisan aside from a small number of contentious issues against all odds). hated the ending at the time but as i think back i think it makes the story more interesting.

Jordan7hm posted:Brian K Vaughn . Txt Y the Last Man yeah...pretty much... Runaways...I liked that. Ex Machina I tried to start but I found the political stuff too clumsy+lame...guess I oughta give that another shot already We Stand on Guard was dumb but I found it fun in the "Hey Americans do stupid blockbuster action patriotic propaganda it's funny having a Canadian comic book version" I really liked Pride of Baghdad, I guess you gotta make sure you have a premise that BKV can't carry on too long or have weird fetish/stupid harem stuff in there. ahhh, and Paper Girls...guess I need to start that already, had people telling me to start that for a while...looks like a premise he can't make weird either (im loving hoping here)

I mean it was sad coming from a comics background of mostly reading manga, and having Y the Last Man be one of the first major western comics you read...it's like poo poo, I'm trying to avoid this sort of eyeroll-worthy male wish fulfillment poo poo in manga as it is.

The comic's about the girls facing all kinds of wacked out sci-fi weirdness.

Descender has been gold from day one, and I wonder why it doesn't get more love. Sort of a bummer that your're not into it.

Vaughan is a goddamn king whenever he shakes his Lost-isms like jumping from one unsolved mystery to another while still leaving breadcrumbs as if things will eventually get resolved. These Paper Girls are making me salty!

Koburn posted:This started over a week ago but I only just noticed it: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/image-expo-comics Of what I've read: ODY-C has beautiful art, but the story wasn't great. Might read better in trade. Descender I dropped but definitely seems like it would read better in trade. East of West is great, and almost certainly reads better in trade. I Hate Fairyland is lots of fun. Chew I read a volume of and enjoyed but never picked up more. Manhattan Projects is crazy insanity but kind of just stops being made without much of an ending (it's technically still going whenever Hickman and Pitarra feel like doing more) Paper Girls is great Saga is excellent, but kind of meandering The Wicked and the Divine is one of my favorite books being published Southern Bastards is another favorite, but it's depressing as all hell Bitch Planet I eventually dropped but it's probably DeConnick's best work Snotgirl I thought was awful God Country is pretty interesting and lasts exactly as long as it needs to I Kill Giants is a must-read imo Sex Criminals is, again, another of my favorites (and I'm sad that they've suggested there's only another year or so of it)

I really like the first storyline of Elsewhere. Bitch Planet is good, but the best parts of it IMO are the letters and essays at the end (which I don't know would be included in trades) and the several issues of standalone stories that were all done by different creative teams, which is only in the Triple Feature volume there.
