WickedHate posted:The original Shade run(well, most of it) was one of my favorite comics ever and despite any previous hesitance I was really satisfied with The Changing Girl. I noticed that in a hypothetical alternate world where Doctor Who never came back in 2005 you could change a few things and have Loma be a teenage Time Lord who stole the TARDIS after growing up idolizing the Doctor. I like that. If you are referring to the Milligan series thats actually the second run. The first is by Steve Ditko. Then the character had a stint in John Ostrander's Suicide Squad for awhile before merging with the prisoner that kickstarted Milligans run.

I wish they'd do a proper trade run of Shade, TCM, I've not read it but it sounds really cool, and I've liked every Vertigo book I've ever read.

Honestly if you read the three existing trades and stop you'll have read the best of it. The middle third dawdles in that 90s Vertigo navel-gazing way, although is at times interesting, and the final third feels like Milligan was told to come up with 20 more issues. I don't mind books about unlikable characters but the last 3rd was largely about unlikable, uninteresting characters.

Can we take a moment of appreciation for the little Caulder intermissions in Doom Patrol? I love them and I'm so glad they're a running thing.

Things that I'm declaring a permanent moratorium on in DC comics: 1) Reduxes of the first couple of pages of Year One 2) Reduxes of the first page of rear end 3) Reduxes of the suicidal girl page of rear end 4) Reduxes of literally any segment of Watchmen 5) Reduxes of "the" fight sequence in TDKR That being said, Mother Panic looks good.

Cave Carson was just okay. I'm not yet a fan of this Powers artist guy and the story wasn't too interesting yet, but the last page reveal could certainly promise something more. The Super Powers backup was the biggest let down for me. I was expecting amusing, weird, self contained vignettes, but we get two stories across three pages that just end terribly abruptly without any punchline, so I guess it's not exactly going to be that. I suppose he's just building the world bit by bit and it'll pay off, and his takes on the characters are visually quite interesting (dandy Wonder Twins, Joker's face is in a mallet), but so far it was sadly flat. If it was a bit longer than three pages, that might have helped.

We'll see about the story, but Mother Panic looked amazing. Now that Doom Patrol is settling into it's plot threads, I dunno if it's as exciting for me as it seemed in the first issue with concepts flying all over the place with little explanation, but the Danny Comics portion in today's issue was great.

Really enjoying Young Animal's lack of a continuity wall as opposed to the weird Vertigo split Like Doom Patrol drawing from Morrison was no duh but directly mentioning Keith Giffen's run was unexpected

I think Shade might end up edging out above Doom Patrol for me. It keeps going back and forth with each new issue, but I think I'll know for sure by the end of the first arcs.

Decided to catch up on Shade. Book's really good. Despite the very whimsical art style, there's some pretty dark stuff at play. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. I also got the two most recent Cave Carsons, but the first issue wasn't available at my LGS, so I'm waiting on it arriving from ebay before I actually read the whole series in depth. From what browsing I'd done though, it looks pretty fun and weird, so I'm hoping it can live up to my expectations. Not sure how I feel about the look of Mother Panic, and taking place in Gotham is not really a plus for me. Not sure if Doom Patrol is even at my store, but I guess if they're only publishing quarterly anymore, it's easy to keep up with that title.

I know it's not supposed to be quarterly, but I don't know how reliable Gerard Way is. Either way, I ended up buying every issue of all the Young Animal series, and enjoyed them all thoroughly. I'll keep up with all 4 series if they continue to entertain me. $15ish is a bargain for a month's worth of these.

Did anyone end up finishing Fables? I decided one day I should actually check it out and finished it up just today. My major thought is that Bill Willingham has some nutso politics and it was really annoying every time he brought it up.

You'll never get those moments of your life back. You should have asked before resuming though, not a lot of people here have anything good to say about the back half of fables.

I liked Mother Panic this week quite a bit. The art's still the strongest part about the book, but I feel like I'm getting more interested in learning more about the title character. Cave Carson was ok. I really can't say anything one way or the other about it.

It's odd, out of all the books I'm getting at the moment, the only ones that I'm really jazzed about are Paper Girls and Shade. Speaking of, really dug the wrap up to this arc, as hokey as it is as an idea, the weird alien girl triumphing through the power of friendship just works. Although is she pregnant with her host bodies evil self now? WTF, etc.

I realize this isn’t an unusual opinion to have, but wow is Sandman is a really good comic. It’s like watching Godfather, or Cowboy Bebop, or playing MGS3 and fully getting why they get so much praise.

I enjoyed Grant Morrison's run of Doom Patrol. I loved Umbrella Academy. I like that the new run is something different from the two, yet still captivating. Roth, the interesting thing about Sandman, is that in spite of everything said about how good it is, it really is quite good.
