come on messi we know you read comics that aren't InCase's "The Invitation"
So if I've got this right DC has an unlimited digital comic subscription service but before it was bundled with tv shows and other things? And now it's just going to be comics like Marvel Unlimited? Do we expect there to be a new app when this is released?

I still hold that Alfie is the greatest ongoing comic in 2021.
I guess the question is should I sub now or wait. They aren't real clear about if there will be a new iOS app or just rebranding the existing one. I heard the existing app isn't all that great in terms of keeping track of what to read and what you've read.
Oh yeah I kinda figured but when it came out I had no money and stopped buying anything. Just saw it was only $2 now so picked it up. Did the same with Wolverine, X-force, and Cable.

Remember January last year image posted a teaser with big things coming in 2020 and Saga was on it. I can't find it anywhere now.
David Harper was saying he's heard rumblings of them building to a return and his belief is that Saga was meant to be back last year but covid caused uncertainty with comic shops so they delayed it until 21 letting Fiona get further ahead. He believes that a May return is possible with a huge promotion push some kind of promo price to get people excited.
I can see this happening

I hear a rumor that it was already stealth solicited as another title but I didn't want to give the article clicks.

I don't think I can accept the possibility of Saga being canceled because it would mean Fiona Staples has just quit art and comics. She's put out nothing, had zero online presence, for so long now. And while that's a realistic possibility, because who wouldn't want to do that if they could afford to, it would break my heart because she's just so incredibly talented. I choose to instead believe she's getting ahead on Saga, instead.

Wouldn't be the first good comic to get cancelled... See hellblazer.
There's no way Saga is cancelled. Don't be redicilous haha. It would imply BKV has been lying for years.
You really think someone would do that
just go on the Internet and tell lies

2014 so it was during Saga I guess.
She's drawn those Labyrinth and Isola covers in the hiatus but that's about it. She's very quiet on social media. BKV did say she was drawing Saga tho.

Just reread the first few issues. Haven't read them in years. This book is just so special.
Just finished a re-read of Wonder Woman Dead Earth and man, while there are some weird thematic issues (Hippolyta choosing to turn her victimhood into villainy) this book is just oh-so-special. It's a haunting possibility regarding how humanity is treating Earth and the consequences it could lead to, as governments tear the world apart grasping for continued control. But also how superheroes play into that, how they reinforce that, how they contribute to that.
It's such a great Wonder Woman story, exploring her ideals, as well as her strengths and weaknesses, at their most basic. Wonder Woman is so held back most of her comics, so it's great to see her unleashed and really broaching some serious ideas. In fact, because of WWDE's cut-to-the-heart-of-it approach, I'd even say this is one of Wonder Woman's best standalone stories. Probably her best, with the note that I just haven't read enough to say that definitively.
What really escalates the book is its art, of course. Daniel Warren Johnson will never be Jim Lee or anything, but his art is incredibly dynamic and visceral. It packs a punch, and DWJ has a special talent for big 2-page spreads or exhilarating moments. It's a crime that we've had to wait this long for a DWJ book to get this oversized hardcover treatment.

Yeah. I hope you just meant in terms of popularity. Lee's art couldn't excite me less, while Johnson's incredible.

Very few do visceral action like DWJ. Maybe only bested by James Harren.
But did you buy it on release day like old man Freeza?
Nah but there was a rerelease with a crazy gatefold of all five variants. I have that in the basement somewhere with my polybagged X-Force #1 (with trading card!)
I don't really remember variants being a thing like that back then
Honestly I don't really understand how they are a thing now.
I have nothing against them, but I dont understand the people who must buy them all.
yeah, I've never gotten that either. I think in my entire life of buying comics I've only ever bought two variants and in both cases it was because the regular cover was sold out and the variant wasn't ridiculously upcharged 🤷♂️
