I didn't buy the Uncanny X-Men omnibus as I believed in this community and we don't support buying physical comic books... THEY TRIED TO KILL ME AND Y'ALL KEEP BUYING THEM.

I do not. I wasn't really into FF when I was younger. Do you remember if it was a Marvel or DC omni?
No, I can't remember. It could have been DC, though Animal Man is about the only thing from DC that I still want and is OOP. Maybe it was a book that WAS out of print and now is in print again. Who knows.

You could always backtrack through all my posts on here and GAF if you really want to know that bad.

Even though I grew up watching the X-Men cartoons, I never really got into the comics. Hickman's run has got me super hyped for more X-Men, though, so I wanna read the big ones. So far I've only read Remender's Uncanny X-Force, Demon Bear and Hickman's run.

The two mains ones that seem like a no brainer are the Dark Phoenix arc and House of M.
Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men is my favorite comic of all time. 100% no doubt.
Yea, my WW is due sometime next week.
It literally just got shipped Tuesday morning

Cyclops executing his keikaku in Astonishing is the peak of X-Men comics. It is known.

Seriously it's probably my favorite sequence in comics. The hypest shit.

haha, that's okay.



Did you choose the free shipping option, or upgraded shipping?
I don't remember

I'm not actually upset, just very antsy and excited

Hickman is cool and all but I definitely miss the purely heroic X-Men vs. the ones who team up with Sinister and decide Apocalypse beating people to death is a good solution to the problem of depowered mutants.

Took a few weeks off buying comics for my kid after he got pretty behind over the holidays. Having a look on cmx rn and all the regular monthlies that were £2.50 are displaying as £4 now lol? Any uk people come across this? Trying to figure out if it's just a mistake on the site or an intentional move I've missed here after being out of the loop for a bit lol

I heard some good reviews about the animated adaptation of Superman Red Son.

It's a nice change that Supes and Diana aren't a couple in this adaptation.

After seeing y'all talking about these Marvel omnis selling out so quick and selling for double/triple secondhand, are omnis the new speculator market? 🤔

So... I see Harley Quinn trying to make Booster Gold a thing.

That has no chance of getting any love after Heroes in Crisis.

Also, I don't think the Agents of Wakanda are getting the power stats right when Ka-Zar can survive going through a cliff and Fat Cobra can get thrown at walls with the force of a Neutron Bomb and live.

Otherwise, Strange Adventures lives up to the hype and Marvels was alright.

Damn that's dirty
Is it cheaper to buy on the companies' individual sites or is it still dollar to dollar?

Didn't all the company apps just become branded Comixology front ends a while ago?

I checked Amazon UK and so far their prices haven't gone up yet but I presume it's only a matter of time. I'm certainly going to have to cut back on the amount of titles I buy now. Quite significantly. Even the sale prices are well above "Oh I'll try that" impulse territory they used to be. £7.99 for Mr Miracle? In a sale? I swear I paid 3.99 for that months ago.

Imagine putting Harley with Booster right after making it very clear that Harley and Ivy isn't a thing. Fuck them.

Fat Cobra is one of the Immortal Weapons. He's fine.

Blarg. Excalibur has definitely become the bottom of the barrel x-book for me. A fight with a handful of warwolves that's nearly completely irrelevant to the ongoing story has taken up more so much more space than the confrontation with Morgan le Fay. It's practically two full issues now. Meanwhile, it's by far the worst character writing across the whole line. I'd even go as far as saying Fallen Angels at least had distinctive characters compared to Excalibur. Everyone outside of Apocalypse is bland to a fault. I had genuine issues telling which bubble went to which character this latest issue, and even then it didn't matter because none of the dialogue was interesting or valuable.

I told myself to drop Excalibur after #6. Here I am at #8 saying I should have listened to myself.

I was enjoying it at I dropped it at #6 to cut down on my X-spending
But now I'm debating picking up Marauders because Kate being dead seems to be sticking for a while

That's gotta fuckin suck

I had a load of Manga in my wishlist that seems to have gone up £2.50 a volume. I think this is really going to do them some damage.

Komi Can't Communicate Vol 1 on Comixology is currently £6.49 (I paid £4.49)
A paper edition from Amazon is £4.92.

It's utterly bizarre. Maybe caused by our weird VAT rules?

Is it a brexit thing maybe? That or the vat. I doubt somehow that's its greed because this move will likely fuck them.

Partly our economy disapearing down a hole because people don't like foreigns and partly because we stupidly put VAT on digital books (But not paper ones). Either way it's pretty rubbish but at least I'll save a load of money

Worth pointing out the cmx price hike is eu wide so hard to point to the actual reasoning (like Brexit or whatever) , but it's horseshit however you cut it lol

Didn't realise it was EU wide. I got the news from Bleeding Cool (Yeah I know) and they only mentioned the UK and blamed it on Brexit, the economy tanking and our stupid VAT rules.

Decided to read the brisson half of new mutants...



This isnt bad, like at all. I was ecpecting a sharp drop in quality, and it just isn't. I mean, it's not as good as the Huckman half, but it's still really good. Easily leagues better than Excalibur and Fallen Angels.


Also Brisson easily writes teams way better than Hickman.

Italy
Yeah, the prices increased here in Italy as well. "Older" issues went from 1.8€ to 2.3€, while new issues went from 3.6€ to 4.5€.
It's quite an absurd increase, especially since it's so sudden.

I've been saying this! Both halves of New Mutants kick ass. It's still going to be good now that Hickman isn't writing it and the team has solidified. The only thing that's a bummer is no more Reis art
