Re-launching a new #1 isn't a gimmick anymore?

Well, yeah, if you don't count 'killing off' a popular superhero for a year and then bringing him back a gimmick. Sure.
There's a hierarchy to gimmicks and it goes :
-Cover Gimmicks like 3D Covers, embossed covers, gold covers, anything with any kind of Special Cover Really
-Gimmick Issues, like Villains Month and #0s and all that
And then AND ONLY THEN : Re-launches & other assorted reboots
Look at this shit
That face is the stuff of nightmares. It looks like Bizarro MJ.
I was referring to the Obama issue back when people were treating him like a rock star.
None of those have hit 500k in a long while.

Alright, OT is finally done. Back to procrastinating until April 29th! 
Originally, the entire OT was going to be backwards. All of it.
I'm not sure I was ever worried I would run out of quality comics, but yes, I've been a little surprised that it's time (and to a lesser degree money) that controls what I can read, rather than selection. It's really absurd how year in, year out, there are larger and larger quantities of comics I want to keep up with or go back to.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Look at this shit
wtffffffffffffff
This is Mary Jane as in Spiderman's Mary Jane? Why does she look like a drug addict? Why are the lines so thick and colors so ugly? WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE HER LEFT EYE IS TRYING TO ESCAPE HER FACE????
can't believe somewhat got paid to draw that MESS

I think we were talking about this the other day but in the back of Vol. 3 Catwoman that just came out, they advertised that Gotham City Sirens trades were coming soon.
Edit - it does not say coming soon, wife was mistaken. It just advertise them like you can go get them.

But it's true, DC is recollecting Gotham City Sirens. The first of presumably two books comes out in October, at 320 pages.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Juggernaut's head in the 4th panel looks like a mashed potato
I get some of your criticisms, but in those particular panels, Magneto is trying to use his powers to strip off Juggernaut's armor. It's not that hard to figure out, I think
Welcome to my world.

I mean, this is Mary Jane Watson for pete's sake. Come on.

Ramos Hate, Get out
He probably puts out a few pages a day to reach his Spider-Man deadlines
Meanwhile, with effort

LMAO god damnJust look at Tony having the repulsor blast of a lifetime

Agreed. his work on Fairy Quest is tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. it's where i realized that he can be pretty good. I first saw his work with the Messiah Complex X-Men issues and they were bad. I read that a long time ago, i'm not sure if they're still bad if i went back to them, but they're so damn out of place with all the other issues.
and i've seen some derp faces that can be taken out of context in Ribic's work too, iirc. ain't no one immune to them
A gimmick would be killing him off for like two issues then bringing him back. Anything more than that stops being a gimmick and is just a story line.
A new #1 though, yea that's a gimmick.

Anybody get their copy of Spider-man: Family Business yet?
Got mine today, fantastic HC. Forget the Amazing Spider-man relaunch we're getting this month, this is the return to Pete that you want.
Sensational art, great jokes/ Parker quips, and come on, Waid and Robinson writing it.
Been a Dell'Otto fan for awhile, love him drawing classic spidey

Buying modern Greg Land comics should be viewed the same way as purchasing blood diamonds.
It's not super original, but pretty well executed.

Brightest Day and then go into New 52 Lantern titles if I recall correctly.
Arksy said:
Nah brah, it goes Green Lantern: Brightest Day (not the series of the same name), GLC: Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns, GLC: The Weaponer, Green Lantern Emerald Warrior, War of the Green Lanterns crossover, War of the GLs Aftermath, and then the N52 books.

So I'll be getting these from Amazon:
Daredevil Oversized Hardcover
The Amazing Spider-Man: Family Business

Yep. He gets a pass though.
Looking back through my post history, it's crazy to see how ComicsGAF has grown. Spike used to make the awesome OT's (complete with the tricked out first post) every week, and then we'd have about 2-3 pages of discussion per week. Now we might get two pages of discussion on a single Tuesday, let alone on Wednesday as people post about their reads.
What happened to her eyes? How did this get in a issue you can buy in store? Does Ramos not look, if he made a mistake?
Look at this shit
Yeah, this is a really strange thing to miss. I can get someone not getting human anatomy right but this is in your face. Looking it it more it seems he just copy>pasted the eyes in.

I used to lurk during those days. Those threads were great but kind of sad. The monthly megathread idea was some new52-level genius stuff.
Thanks! And thanks GrandHarrier as well. : )
Comixology opened the comics binging gates to non US comics readers.
Nowadays comics cost me around 50% less than imported trade issues.
It was around 70% before comixology restricted me to its local store...
that and Nu52 and Marvel Now initiatives, and the rise of Image comics.

Messi, you, myself and Korupt take the top spots on the wall of shame for number of posts. We just don't shut up. Fun fact: 90% of Messi's posts are about Nocenti.
Definitely a wonderful influx of new members. Heck even I am relatively new in the grand scheme of things.
P.S. Plz come back La Maquinon and Krypt0nian.

Hey now, Newsarama's Facebook Posts are great to see 50+ year old men still bitching about the New 52 reboot. They come up with clever derogatory names like "Poo 52".
