It seems it's on general release in the UK, there are copies all over Forbidden Planet in London.

Oh for real? I already bought it.

I will be very happy if three of the seven books are Booster Gold, Shazam, and MMH. Hell, I'd be thrilled two get two of those three.

I think at least two of those titles are sure fire bets. You can never be too sure though. I think definitely Shazam, as there has been much indication that he'll be more prominent coming out of Trinity War. Booster Gold too. The only one I'm not sure on, but want very, very much is MMH. Matt Kindt is doing an amazing job though, I'd hate to see DC not take advantage of an opportunity to push a much wanted book with a quality creative team to market, especially when his backups have been so well received.

The comments for the CNN article about the new X-men title are glorious.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/29/showbiz/xmen-female-team/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

Ex: "First, i hear about a Puerto Rican Spider-Man. Now its a mutant team of dykes out to save the world...What's next?"

This folks, is why Comics is a niche hobby.

Shit like this is why I don't hang with too many people who share my interests.

It's also why I don't read the comments section of...anything.

Picked up Turtles #22 today on a whim. I stopped after issue 3 or 4.

What have I done?

Making yourself realize how awesome TMNT is. I need to buy that third volume.

Something great.

Yes, you do.

 

[Necrovex]

Yes, you do.

Just bought it, time to read through this volume!

Remender's Captain America is Amazing

 

[Supermanisdead]

X-Men was so good omggggggg. Best book of the month. The art, the story, the pacing! Wowowowowow. Brian Wood, comics superstar, killed it.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Remender's Captain America is Amazing

I went and bought all the issues for this making me go over budget.

Added to the pull list.

Also X-Men had so many gorgeous panels.

 

[TheBahaBlast]

So in Indestructible Hulk, Hulk is rockin armor. It useful or anything? Haven't read any of the issues and wiki takes time to fill me in.

 

[beyond_death]

So X-men #1 delivered? Cant wait!

 

[Nudull]

I tried out vol. 1 of Uncanny Avengers from my library earlier today, and it was actually pretty good, if not incredibly goofy at times.

Spoiler

Pretty nice seeing Kang and Sunfire in the mix of things, too.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Wolverine and the X-Men was great this week, but holy shit who designed Beasts new look? Jesus, he looks like a giant diseased possum. Worst redesign ever. I miss cat Beast

Spoiler

also, could nightcrawler be on his way back? Azazel and the bamfs have a connection!

Uncanny X-Force was fun and Alphona killed it on art. I was bothered by how slow the pacing has been though. Needs to hurry up already.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Shazam is a must. Kind of embarrassing that the Shazam backups were better than Justice League itself.

Also the Shazam stuff is being put into its own trade, so that does hint at a Shazam series. As does the fact that Kotobukiya is going to be putting out a Shazam ArtFX statue.

 

[slightconfuse]

Remender's Captain America is Amazing

yea this weeks issue was crazy ..

dat ending

 

[sazabirules]

Captain America continues to be great.

Anyone else read the IDW Transformers comics?

I picked this fucker up today.

I asked the other day whether this was the best Transformers comic but I didn't get a response.

I have the Shazam collection on pre-order with Amazon. It deserves the hardcover treatment. Is that the only upcoming DC statue from Kotobukiya?

Nah. They also have a New 52 Deathstroke statue on the horizon for the end of the year. Sucker is almost a foot tall and has a faceplate that slides up.

I can't figure out why rafathefedkillah got banned, but I'll fill in for him. That brah Brian Wood is a rising comics superstar.

He said something about a female gaf member's menstruation in a thread we both frequent.

 

[ReiGun]

Just like regular ass JL, JLA is outshined by its backups. That said, JLA > regular ass JL.

XX-Men is hot, yo. Really enjoyed that first issue.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Yea that first issue was awesome, packed more in one issue than many comics do in an arc D:

Though I'm at a loss, I could have sworn Rachel was still a dual psionic which makes me wonder why exactly she needed Betty there for mind reading purposes, I mean I'm pretty sure Rachel is still probably the most powerful person in the school.

 

[Anticitizen One]

I can almost guarantee everyone posting in the comments section of that CNN article is a comic fan who is either playing dumb or just trolling. Non comic readers wouldn't even click the link.

She definitely is. She was mind reading today in Wolverine & txm. Psylocke just didn't want to feel useless.

 

[ReiGun]

At this point, Cap really should just be dead.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

She definitely is. She was mind reading today in Wolverine & txm. Psylocke just didn't want to feel useless.

It's weird,

That book had shown Psylocke with a new power, to be able to use psionic arrows.

 

[ElNarez]

So, is there a reason why Dan Didio is shitting on Vertigo's grave ? Is he trying to ruin DC for real ?

 

[Supermanisdead]

Yeah that was dumb. Psylocke infringing on Dani Moonstars signature look

More than meets the eye is imho the BEST transformers comics in years. I made a lttp thread for it even!
Get it and grab anything by james roberts as he is the author of that book.

Nice, I've wanting to read this run as an intro to Iron Fist.

Which of the current Marvel series come with the digital editions?

 

[tim1138]

Pretty much every new HC does-all the Marvel Now! HC's do as does stuff like the AvsX and AvsX Companion HC's.

 

[Mafro]

Read X-Men #1, When did Rogue get her flight and super strength powers back? I thought she just currently had her absorption powers and nothing else.

Absorbed from Northstar. It's in the issue.

Must have missed that, sorry.

MTMTE is a great book period, never mind a good Transformers book. It's pretty much unquestionably the best Transformers book there has ever been.

 

[Owzers]

So, is there a reason why Dan Didio is shitting on Vertigo's grave ? Is he trying to ruin DC for real ?

That seems like an odd bunch of statements given how many New 52 projects don't sell well and don't exactly look like they are swinging for the stars.

 

[Hobobloke]

Ah, cool. How common is it for single issues?

Also I saw Superior Spider-Man #10 I think it was had a digital edition included, does that mean I'm to assume the rest of it will have them too?

 

[KoruptData]

Like I have said before, im just now getting into comics. Whats the best site for news, release dates and reviews?

That I don't know, as I only buy single issues digitally.

 

[wetflame]

I use Comixology to keep track of release dates and so on, you can sign up and "subscribe" to titles, it'll create and email pull lists to you each week and so on, makes it a lot easier to see if a title you're interested in is out that week.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Man, I really need to start reading some of my backlog. Grendel has been sitting on my shelf for months now.

It's not summer until Archie starts using the beach covers.

So IM3's Iron Patriot is now canon?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

So IM3's Iron Patriot is now canon?

It was in Amazing Spider-Man like 400 years ago

 

[Owzers]

it'll say on the bottom of the cover if a digital code is included, all 3.99 Marvel Universe titles include them, but not stuff like Wizard of OZ/Icon/Max stuff.

The Iron Patriot has been around since Dark Reign.

shout-outs to Rhode's new armor in the Gambit book.

I meant the Rhode version, not the Osborn one. Why did he switch to it in the new comics?

 

[Justice_dp]

I asked the other day whether this was the best Transformers comic but I didn't get a response.

This is the best TF comic!

Got issue 17 yesterday and I'm looking forward to see where this journey goes. Somehow I'm afraid that the book(s) won't last much longer...

 

[Phoenixazure]

I meant the Rhode version, not the Osborn one. Why did he switch to it in the new comics?

Its still the Osbourne version. Its covered in the New Secret Avengers. Its basically mass produced by AIM with rudimentary AI I think.

Ahhh, I see. I thought they wanted Rhodes to use it as a tie-in to the movie.

 

[Hobobloke]

Yeah, no worries. I do enjoy the functionality of having it digitally but I figure if I can have the physical thing too for a few extra bucks why not.

Awesome, cheers mate.
