The Lightning Saga by Johns, good enough to pick up in a sale in the store or not?
Is it the whole crossover? If so, then yes, that's a damn good story.

Yeah, that's good too.

First she takes his Hammer. Then she takes his Axe. What's she got against Odinson.
She got everything after the divorce even the flying goats

Grabbed! Now I'm off to an actual book sale. Will post my total grabs in a few hours. Some real gems I got for 3-8 each.

As inconsistent as I think this book can be I really like when pieces start fitting together. It feel really nice when stuff pops back up and fits all together, it makes the entire story feel really planned out and well crafted. I think I'm really coming around on Priest and just learning to be patient with his writing style.

Beautiful stuff.
One of the book I'm most anticipating to read in this whole Rebirth thing.

My efforts to catch up on my back log continue. I've been making great progress. Hold your applause.
Working on Paper Girls now. I only got up to #6 before falling off comics (again). Re-read 1-6 and then read 7 last night. My god, I love this comic. At first I wasn't sure I would. I just wanted to read a comic about kids in the late 80's (who are exactly my age, btw). I wasn't so sure about all this
. I still don't understand a lot of what's going on. But it's not in the way I don't understand The Wildstorm. I'm not actually supposed to understand some of the things happening in Paper Girls.
Anyway, turns out it doesn't matter. I love the characters so much. And having 12-year-old Erin meet
So fun. Love it.

time-travelly, robo-faced, slag-languaged stuff

her burned-out, messed-up 40-year-old self is facinating. Seeing the girls in the present reacting to technology, etc?

We already have Sandfox!
And don't think it was mentioned in here, but Tim, Donnie, and I were talking about how the next part of BPRD was announced at the end of The Visitor. BPRD: The Devil You Know! For July this year. I can't wait to see how they follow up on Hell on Earth.

So you'll be one of the people from that thread I posted yesterday?
Seeing Wick 2 tomorrow~
"Why is the Flash running so often? Running isn't cool. Could he have a skateboard?" - Me
I knew there were a few others around in the industry. I've been at a much smaller cable network for the last year and a half or so. Crazy deadlines sounds like it'll be more fun.

So they're just going to print more copies, again?
Guess it'll be more stuff for stores to hand out on FCBD again so.
It's awesome, isn't it? I'm losing my patience waiting for the next TPB to be released. I might start buying the single issues as well.

Yeah, did you see the last Newsarama interviews on variant covers and extra copies? Customers and store really wish Marvel would adapt DC's current style. Hip hop covers etc doesn't sell at all. Everything just gets put in 1$ bins and then in FCBD when it doesn't sell even there.
Axel: BUT THE COMPLEX AND XXL ARTICLES! THEY HELP! RIGHT?

Time to see what was cancelled, delayed or otherwise changed this month that'll ruin the OP.
Newsarama ranking the Robins.

Waid has signed a big contract with Archie. Would not be surprised to see him on less books in the next Marvel relaunch.
Btw, Taylor is doing a MMPR Annual going by the Boom! solicits!

Yeah I stopped reading. Dumb fucking article JUST MAKE IT ONE LIST. Also it's just dumb.

I think I did see that article, but I'm not sure. I'm not a business owner, but I'd be pissed off if they were shipping me extra stock I didn't order and probably can't sell.
The hip hop cover gimmick is beyond dead, but I am not the market for variant covers anyway so I'm likely talking out of my ass on that one. I feel like once you've already made enough of them that you sold a book of them, it's time to move on.
Waid signing the Archie contract and reading Champions MU with Whitley...yeah, I think the time has come. Go off on a high.

I don't think he gave any sort of time table. My guess is we won't see it until Black Monday Murders is done or almost done.

Like the All Eyez On Me cover. The rest look not so much.

Newsarama's slideshows are the only thing that may be worse than CBR's deafening auto-playing videos.

Finally got mini-Echo to try Wasp. Awaiting her review.
In other news she has dropped RiRi's book. Too heavy.

With art in that story I'd say it's all but confirmed lol

What are mini Echo's picks?
Wasp: she loves it! It got laughs. She had to show me her favorite panels. I'm so glad. It's a great fit for her (she asked for a microscope for her birthday). She's going back to read the first issue.
-She has read almost every issue of both My Little Pony books
-She likes the new Wonder Woman book, but pretty much just the year one issues and she reads it sporadically
-She likes Squirrel Girl but doesn't read every issue, just the ones that look appealing
Books she used to follow but has dropped:
Invincible Iron RiRi (too heavy)
Ms. Marvel (tie-ins)
Moon Girl (boring)
Jane Thor (confusing)

She's going to love the WW Annual with Nicola Scott art showing the first meeting of the trinity. Has she tried Super Powers or is it too kid-y for her? Maybe Gotham Academy if it isn't too dark for her.
Wow, I'm shocked she dropped Moon Girl and yeah, Ms. Marvel tie ins...sigh.
Have you tried giving her the IDW-Boom stuff for younger audiences? (Strawberry, Steven)

Super Powers skews too young. She used to read lots of books like that but not anymore. TINY TITANS FOR LIFE.
She didn't like Gotham Academy at all. Or Lumberjanes, go fig. She's a cape kid.

Going to pick up that Li'l Gotham collection?

Amazon referred me to a Marketplace seller who was selling it new cheaper than what I originally paid so I just went with that. I've just got an email from the seller telling me their stock is damaged too.

Yeah well the Sonic comics were ending soon anyways so no big deal.
Hadn't read Archie in quite some time though I did enjoy the first few issues.
