All-New Wolverine, Slott Iron Man, and Empyre (including the unfinished work?) is shit I am all in for. Question is whether or not the Slott Iron Man will include the 2020 Iron Man (not the whole 2020 event obviously)
This happened to me with Remender's Uncanny X-Force. It's not available anywhere here now.
how was His Dark Materials? I remember people being pretty down on it at first?
Was it that bad?
I still haven't seen the 5th season. Tried it when it first aired but couldn't finish the first episode lol. Was hoping i would be more in the mood after rewatching the entire series.

Thanks! Everything is weird this year.
Thanks guys!
Now how many of these are they going to cancel? All-New Wolverine and Doctor Aphra got my attention, though.
Sin Eater prelude was good
I have zero interest in this film that Idris Elba is desperate to make happen neither
It was pretty shit, yeah

I just watched all of Arkham City's cutscenes on Youtube. What a fucking game honestly. Vivdly remember that after Arkham Asylum blowing me away by surprise, I was so hyped for this game. I was really anxious because although AA was superb, I thought it might be a fluke and maybe Rocksteady won't be able to reach those heights again. Oh my god I was sooo wrong to even have the slightest doubt.
I really loved that issue. Read it yesterday. It was essentially a horror book. That reinsertion of that classic page of Sin-Eater was also so tasteful.

I don't think you get the same experience YT'ing a game as you do playing it.
I played it day one. I don't have a system to play now and neither have the time, just felt a bit nostalgic for the story.
I don't know if I'd put Arkham City over the first game, but I did appreciate the more open world. They were both much better than Arkham Knight, that's for certain.
The first game is always the best one for me but Arkham City is a worthy successor. The only issue I had with the game was that the open-world setting was a bit not open-world. It was filled with thugs only.At least with AC I can understand, but Gotham in Arkham Knight should have been full of people.
Angela came to Marvel in like, 2013. She was a gift or something from Neil Gaiman after he won her in a lawsuit.
That thing was such a pain in the ass to read, but I couldn't resist buying it. As I've said in these threads a few times, Final Crisis is my favorite comic event of all time, and I own it in pretty much every format it's been released in.
What a bizarre case lol. Seems to have worked out though.
The lawsuit itself was over licensing rights, since Gaiman co-created her.
Todd probably pissed he can't make action figures of her anymore.
McFarlane Toys doesn't put out the quality shit like they did years ago.
Thanks! I think?
True they aren't the bastion of quality anymore.
Also happy birthday!
He wasn't gonna bring her back anyways. i think it was a trade for something else, maybe Miracleman?
IIRC Gaiman was pissed that McFarlane didnt pay for the rights to use her or something, and after the court case she went to Marvel.
Dumbest thing I ever did was buy the issue with her first appearance in Spawn thinking it would be worth more than the $10 I spent on it. Oh the days of floppies.

It was you that almost made Marvel go bankrupt in the 90s!
All those glossy, foil, super collectable covers that will definately be worth a fortune in a few years.
Thank you!
Wasn't there some thing where Angela issues couldn't be reprinted in those Spawn Origins TPBs?
If they came out during the court case, which Gaiman won, probably not.
Hey, if I got it CGC graded, it could be worth up to $27!
Doesn't it cost more than that to get a book CGC graded? CGC is such a fucking scam.
K-Pop Era got the OT tag thingy lol
Probably lol. Glad I never got into all that stuff. I can see the appeal, but to me it just wasnt worth it unless I bought one already done.
Started reading Spy x Family (I assume the x is silent like Hunter x Hunter)
I know its a comedy but it was goddamn frightening how he just walked into an orphanage and out with a kid.

It was purely in the service of expediting plot progression, I'm sure.
Oh I'm sure. So far its pretty good. I'm interested to see where it goes.
I know its not ideal, but Amazon in the US still has them in stock. It looks like they have plenty atm, so hopefully IST will get more in stock eventually.
Speaking of, I think im going to start getting rid of the omnis I own that I know I probably wont read again. Hickman's Avengers is pretty close to the top of my list to part ways with. I just dont know if im ready to deal with the hassle of trying to sell them on eBay lol.
I feel like I need to read Remender's UXF again.
I'll probably get to it again. I'm currently in the middle of Mike Carey's X-Men run and it's crazy how a run can be so under-appreciated and yet so influential. He laid so much of the foundation that Hickman is drawing from.

I'd be importing it from the UK and I've heard how carefully Amazon US package their books haha. Hopefully they print more at some point.
Do you happen to have a reading order for Carey's X-men?
I know he wrote for a long time over several different titles.

Carey is one of the most underrated X-Men writers ever. Hickman even mentioned in an interview he was a big influence.
as far as reading order, I think Supernovas is first but beyond that I have no clue. It turns into X-Men Legacy at some point I think and that's what has Age of X which is an amazing alt future Legion story.
Many comic store owners/workers are definitely... interesting. (At least the US ones I have been to). The Simpsons caricatures are not super exaggerated.
