That totally surprised me. I expected to hate it, but the finale had me tearing up.

 

...is that a Black Panther emoji!?

 

I didn't get that far yet. Next time I get some extra money though I might buy the rest of that series and finish it up.

 

Oh. Keep reading. Also, read the Spider-Verse event after. Superior Spider-Man has a role in it...

 

I've said it 5000 times before but I'll say it again. I'M ALWAYS BEHIND ON COMIC BOOKS. I don't read many current runs because of it. I just read classic events that I haven't read.

Currently reading:
Wytches
Saga
Green Arrow New 52
Batman New 52
Thor
Secret Wars
Howard the Duck Complete Collection vol 1
All New Captain America

 

YES. Jason jacked the Civil War, BvS, and Star Wars emojis from Twitter. If you click "More Options," and then look at the emojis, there'll be a comics tab. The : pantherworried : one I just used is a hidden one I suggested to Jason and am SO glad exists.

 

I agree with this, this place already seems WAY more welcoming.

 

All great series. You'll like the current Captain America series once it hits trade.

 

Just sent it!

 

Any books from DC Rebirth y'all are looking forward to?

 

Oh man, Green Arrow was the best part of JL/JLA. I'm reluctant to pick up the trades because of how bad I heard the beginning was. Not really into jumping on things late in a run.

I only have two trades of Chew left. lol

 

Gonna try to spend more time with indie graphic novels. First gonna re-read Blankets because it's been a few years, and I want to talk about it with a ministry friend of mine who's reading it.

Bought Mercury by Hope Larson, Killing and Dying by Adrian Tomine, Solanin by Inio Asano, Beauty by Hubert, Gray Horses also by Hope Larson, and American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. Larson is writing the Batgirl series for Rebirth, and Yang is writing New Super-Man, so gonna read their books first so I'm familiar with their work in advance.

 

Did Chew end yet?

 

Nope. I think the 11th trade will be out next month or so.

 

Trades 1-3 were BAD. But, trades 4 and 5 are written by Jeff Lemire and art by Andrea Sorrentino...and is some of the best DC I've read. It's crazy how much they turned that series around and reinvented the character. You don't even have to read trades 1-3 to get their story.

 

Lemire's name on anything has me ready to jump on it. lol. I'll throw it on the wishlist.

 

Set on pulling Batgirl, New Super-Man, and Trinity.

Also interested in All-Star Batman because of the premise of being on the road with Two Face against a grab bag of all his foes. If it focuses on the rogues gallery more than Batman himself, I'm in.

Gotta make some hard pull decisions going forward for sure.

Haven't read it yet, but the portion that Lemire and Sorrentino did is collected in its own sexy hardcover and supposed to be a standalone arc and really, really good. So maybe just hit up that.

 

I've honestly never been a big DC fan. I'm more of a fan of certain creative teams than series for DC. So I'll have to see how they play out and pick up trades for what turns out to be good.

 

@xapplexpiex Have you read Snyder/Capullo's run on Batman?

 

Yep. I've read a little bit of everything of New 52, but kinda stopped last year.

 

This will likely be a part of my next order. Thanks!

 

Has anyone here read all of the Avengers vs X Men series? How is it? I was able to find a source to read all of the issues. Should I be excited or is the arc lame?

 

From what I've heard the reviews are mixed but I personally thought it was pretty good.

 

Wytches was freaking incredible, just finished.

 

I'm waiting for the solicits to pop up. Hopefully we see volume 2 in July or August.
