The big ears, gloves and gun have to be a reference to the comic's origins, but the concept is pretty lost in every other way he's presented. e: Yeah.

I dunno if there's a big list of what's on there. I think all you can really do is look up a series and see if there are the little 'U' icons. It's pretty broadly comprehensive. Some stuff is definitely not there, usually obscure series' but also the odd isolated issue could be missing while the comics around it are available. Not sure what eras of Prof X you mean, but I know Uncanny is there from Vol 1. #1 to the current series six months ago (new releases don't appear for several months) so you should be able to find what you want. I'm going through Claremont's run myself. There's a digital comics thread we should probably move the convo to. irlZaphod posted:2014 - The Year Of Soule. This and fingers all the way crossed for Lemire to do something interesting with his JL book. JLD was dull as dishwater, but I'm fairly certain that book is cursed. Moving a team to Canada with Animal Man points to good things, I bet! Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Jan 2, 2014 |

The Marvel NOW! branding is over. Now it's All-New Marvel NOW! In six months they'll start Even More Marvel NOW! You Thought It Was Over But Oh Lookie We Got You Some More Newer Marvel NOW! Sundowner posted:You really think The New 52 thing will be permanent? I figured it would stick around for a few years as promotional and eventually be phased out. Are we talking branding or continuity? I bet those three words will be phased out next year. Marvel NOW! and The New 52! badges serve the same purpose to be pointed at when someone is asking about getting into comics and not wanting to read years and years of stuff. Once these volumes get into 30ish issue runs, that'll start to get meaningless and I'm guessing it's then they'll be gone (at least from DC. Marvel are going volume reset crazy right now. We might never see high issue numbers again from them.) Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Jan 4, 2014 |

The series will probably be spinning heavily out of Infinity, so I'd recommend reading all of Hickman's MARVEL NOW!! Avengers stuff to start, which is a pile of great comics. The crossover event was even pretty good, and those things are never good. e: Sundowner posted:Are there enough trades out yet to get me caught up?

Here are some series with recent new arcs/jumping-on points: Green Arrow #17 as above. Swamp Thing #19 is a new, excellent run by Charles Soule. Doesn't heavily rely on previous issues. Batman #21+ is a year long origin arc that is very good and absolutely jump-on-able (e: I'd include #0 if you can find it. Sorta sets it up.) Action Comics from #25 is a new author and a great change. Starts on a Batman Zero Year tie-in, but it's very stand-alone and good. Just young Supes rescuing folks from a storm in Gotham. The Green Lantern books got all new creators at issue 21. Red Lanterns is especially good, same writer as Swamp Thing. Justice League 3000 and Harley Quinn are brand new and are really fun so far. Animal Man and Wonder Woman are my favorite series but you can't really start those anywhere but #1. e: Oops. Added a few things and edited after you quoted me, quick guy.

Sundowner posted:One thing I like about Hawkeye is that it reads really well digitally because there isn't a tremendous amount of detail hidden away on my smaller Nexus 7 screen. Any other books that work well digitally worth picking up? I've been thinking of reading Saga and The Manhattan Projects digitally as well. I love physical books but I literally get no use out of my Nexus 7 other than to read digital books. How about the stuff built for tablets like Batman 66?

Sundowner posted:Ehhhh I tried the free issue and didn't like it. I don't like the interactive/automated stuff. I dunno what they're planning to do with 18-20. I'm guessing they won't be in a trade by themselves, or in the Zero Year collection, cause they're pretty irrelevant to that. Maybe there'll be a Damian fallout trade that 18'll slot into. No idea. #18 is about Harper Row trying out being a hero while Batman is on a crime busting rampage in the wake of what happened to Robin in Batman Incorporated. Robin is barely in Snyder's Batman and you won't even see the event spurring his rage, so if you haven't been reading Grant Morrison's books you can safely skip it, though you might be interested in Harper by then. #19-20 is a pretty inconsequential Clayface story. They aren't bad, but you could certainly just jump to 21. edit: Yeah. They're skipping them for the next trade. http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Vol-Zero-Year-Secret-City/dp/1401245080 ee: That #19 cover, though.

Sundowner posted:So there are some things in Morrison's New 52 version of Batman Inc. that relate? I do plan on reading those books. Only the fact that Robin died. Tomasi's Batman and Robin is way more tied to the event since it's focus is on their relationship. The books are more or less just opportunities for a bunch of creative teams to tell their Batman stories and are rarely beholden to each other beyond big status quo shifts. Whereas Death of The Family had related side issues involving Joker you could ignore, most other comic groups will require you to go from book to book in an event, so I appreciate the separateness of the titles (especially since they're not all great.) Morrison's Batman should really be read as a whole from his Batman run, Batman and Robin, Return of Bruce Wayne and both volumes of Batman Incorporated. It's a fuckin' lot, but boy, it's good. Again, it barely relates to Snyder's work, so if you're gonna, don't feel like you need to tackle it right away. Maybe there'll be a big ol' omnibus this year.

Waterhaul posted:To be honest I just find it crazy that for a series with building hype that it's not available digitally. With all the options available, it's conscious choice to not make them mass market items (E: the individual issues at least.) The fact it's being sold on on Etsy along with hand made jewelry tells you something. It's not the most ridiculous demonstration of limiting availability that I can think of. A few years ago I saw a really great art movie at a film festival, looked up where I could get a copy on DVD, and... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cremaster_Cycle#Availability quote:The full series was released in a limited series of 20 sets of DVDs, sold each for at least $100,000, in custom packaging – as fine art, rather than mass-market movies.[10] In 2007 one disc (Cremaster 2) sold for $571,000.
