Better pick up the pace before the next DC event because who know what Titans are going to die during it.

Nyeehg posted:Thanks for this. Really helpful stuff. My base assumption was to start at infinity gauntlet so I'm glad I checked here first. In total fairness, the Captain Marvel -> Warlock -> Silver Surfer -> Infinity _______ is the path for people who want to dive in and get the full epic experience. If you do want to just jump right to Infinity Gauntlet then that's fine too, though it does start en media res picking up from plot lines from Silver Surfer and Thanos Quest. Just want to make sure you understand what you're getting into with this. IIRC, you want to read Captain Marvel #25-34 (34 is not cosmic but it becomes important a few years later) and that's the Captain Marvel part of things. Then Strange Tales 178-181, Warlock 9-15, Avengers Annual 7, and Marvel Two-In-One Annual 2 cover the Warlock chapter. Then you need to read Marvel Graphic Novel #1 (on the off chance that you don't know what this book is, don't look it up until you've read the previous parts). After that, the Infinity Gauntlet ramp up occurs in Silver Surfer 34-50 and Thanos Quest. That's where Infinity Gauntlet kicks off and after that things become a lot more messy.

So I'm still stuck in the past (the latest comics I bought were back around House of M (edit-- it was actually probably Civil War 1)) Is it reasonable to start with the Marvel Fresh Start stuff and work my way forward to War of the Realms? Or should I start with Marvel Now 1.0? Or go further back? I have Marvel Unlimited so getting caught up isn't hard. Count Thrashula fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Jun 2, 2019 |

There's an X-Men sale on comixology again. I grabbed the second X-Men Red trade. Are there any other post-Secret Wars X-Men comics worth looking for before it all gets flushed down the Hickman reset? So far I've read the X-Men Red trades, Tomaki's X-23, Mr & Mrs X, What if Magik and X-Men Black Emma. I need to look for All New Wolverine yet. Asking to see if I missed any other standouts as I'll probably get around to the bad ones on unlimited some day.

There was a Rogue/Gambit mini before Mr and Mrs X, Kelly Thompson wrote both so if you liked one you'll probably like the other. I kinda liked Weapon X, but I didn't finish it and I guess it ends by undoing Sabretooth's character growth.

site posted:if youve read xmen red and tomakis x-23 but not all new wolverine just what the gently caress I tend to either get comics as they come out on my pull list or wait until the trades are $5 or less in a sale. Plus I'm a completionist. I was able to jump on at the start of X-23 but I missed the boat of ANWolverine. I saw all the posted pages on this forum and that was good enough to catch me up til now. I misspoke, I haven't actually read Red yet, I just grabbed vol 1 from comixology last sale, and vol 2 this time.

Bummer about Sabretooth, I haven't seen him in anything recently but I liked the good guy version in AoA/Exiles.

Looking forward some comic recommendations for things to read with my six year old. We’re not shy from more adult story lines or violence, but if the problems confronted in the comics are too adult he has trouble relating. He enjoys stories with school-age teens the most. Most of what we’ve read is super-hero marvel stuff so I’m hoping to branch out. Some comics he has enjoyed are: *Thor God of Thunder *Secret Wars (the old 80s one) *Current runs of Ms. Marvel *Mad Love (Batman) *All Ironman comics we’ve tried I’m thinking of reading Bone for a change of pace. Any recommends?

Try some Simonson Thor comics if you can find them at a reasonable price. They're not quite as Metal as the God of Thunder ones but they're still pretty awesome, especially if you're 6.

Gameko posted:Looking forward some comic recommendations for things to read with my six year old. Bone is a wonderful option for a kid. The Marvel Adventures line consisted of short, one issue stories intended for a younger audience. They were also really good comics that were often better than the actual books at that time. They were collected in small, digest formats that were cheap to begin with and now you can get most of them extremely cheap. Because of the target audience, they often tried to bring in teen characters as well. Jeff Parker's Marvel Adventures The Avengers is probably the best of them, but you can't go wrong with picking up a few digests of any of them and just going with it. Similarly, your kid is pretty much right in the sweet spot for Power Pack. There was a set of miniseries about ten years ago that had the kid superheroes team up with other Marvel characters and these were generally pretty good. Getting away from superheroes, how about giving Usagi Yojimbo a try? While the themes can get heavy from time to time, it's usually paired with something a bit lighter. Moomin was originally a newspaper strip in Norway, but the characters have ongoing adventures. It's beautifully illustrated and kind of sweet.

Bone is the best choice. My kid loved it. He also loved Usagi and Lumberjanes. And his favourite book to read now on his own is Asterix. Though I find it a slog to read to him... a beautiful book but fairly text heavy. Amulet was pretty good.

I'm in my second month of Comixology Unlimited which I equate to a drug dealer. Sure kid, first books on us... Is there an app that keeps track of when new issues are released? I see the subscription on the Comixology site, but I don't want to necessarily buy each issue right away.

You can just use previewsworld.com/newreleases, it goes back so you can see what came out in previous weeks, but i haven't tested going back a long ways to see how long things are stored if you're wanting to go way way back

I'm looking for something new to read. I've recently finished all the available Squirrel Girl trades (I like her, no judgement), which led me to US Avengers (meh) and all the Spider-Verse stuff (which was loving awesome). I also read some 2015ish Avengers that was recommended here but I don't know the titles off the top of my head. There was some big yellow guy with horns who was the antagonist early on, then he was on their side? It honestly got kind of confusing. I'm looking for something fairly modern and Avengers-related maybe. I like team-ups. I've got a lot of Deadpool too that I can burn through. Any new + good trades I should give a try?

I liked the run of Uncanny Avengers that had Deadpool with Rogue leading the team. There's a solo graphic novel for Squirrel Girl called Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe that's by the same writer/artist as the main series, I don't know if that would have been included in your read through of the trades. Before US Avengers Squirrel Girl was on New Avengers, same writer so you might not enjoy it, but I did like New Avengers more than US Avengers. here's the first trade for that https://www.amazon.com/New-Avengers-I-M-Everything-i-m/dp/078519648X

obi_ant posted:Is Comixology basically the best place to get digital comics? A lot of the publisher specific stores ended up merging with comiXology, either duplicating their offerings or shutting down their original stores. Humble Bundle still puts out PDF sales of comics from time to time, but seemingly less often. Everything else I have bought was from indie creators one at a time from, like, Gumroad. Archie Comics has their own Netflix style service. Some of the manga companies do, too, but I don't know much about that market. Uthor fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Jun 26, 2019 |

I have a question about Comixology. With unlimited, do you get access to really all of their comics? Or what's the deal? $5.99 a month for all that seems like a crazy good deal for digital comics.

Yeah, you get a small selection. It's not a cut off date or anything, it's literally the first one or two TPBs of stuff for most titles. I forgot Marvel Unlimited in my list. That's the biggest comiXology competitor, but Marvel only.

Nobody's ever gonna put new release comics on a subscription plan. They know if you're interested, you're probably already paying vast amounts over any monthly charge they could offer.
