How dare you?

What? It's not Bendis related. It's referring to Batman: The Dark Knight #3 and Batman: Through the Looking Glass. Or were you hoping to lift your self imposed ban?

TFAW.com, the guys who offered 50% off all 52 new #1's, are now offering 40% off all 52 #2's.

http://www.tfaw.com/offer/DCTAKE2

It's cheaper than buying $1.99 digital issues if you go for all 52, but if you cut out even 4 comics digital is the better deal. And I'm not sure what their shipping charges are, which would skew things further towards digital. I guess the question is, what's the likelihood that 1 issue is enough to tell you that you want to drop a few titles, because you have to preorder before most of the #1's come out to get the deal.

Probably not, I'm sure we'll make it to 15 before we start back at number 1, maybe we'll get to 16.

I missed out on the end of the last topic but I just wanted to comment on ND's post here:

i just read two issues of Nova hanging out with a spacesuit-wearing russian telepathic golden retriever/lab mix. neat.

That's Cosmo. And you probably shouldn't be reading out of order, Nova is one of the few books where you should probably read everything, including the events and everything it ties into.

Oh I missed SOLICITS.

Green Arrow sounds so bad

ltm please rank all 52 books in order from "probably best" to "probably suck"

--
~Zen

Once I get back from work, gladly.

As for Green Arrow, Krul is a known quantity on the book and it's probably going to be lame. Even a big GA fan like me isn't going to bother past #1 probably.

I think it's hilarious how there essentially making him Steve Jobs, though. QPad And QPhone XD

Conquest was good, you should read it. So I assume you read Annihilation then? And where exactly are you on Nova and have you been reading Guardians of the Galaxy as well?

That Hawkeye outfit is so bad.

And if you were still on edge about Bucky coming back to life soon, the November solicit for Captain America and Bucky SCREAMS it at you.

Man, this Knights of Vengeance thing should've been so good, but its so rushed. Stupid 3-issue format.

It will launch for $350 with some Wii Sports s***. I bet my life on it. Damn, that KoolAid guy is awesome - NGamer64

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Wasp
Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch
Vision
Black Panther
Giant-Man

I would like this lineup back at some point

I can't even remember if this "classic" lineup every even existed

--
~Zen

New Hawkeye costume is indeed lame, wish movies would stop influencing comics to such an extent.

Why is that a question? Do you know what Guardians is? It actually spawned from Conquest, which I thought you were past now since you "read a summary" ugh.

i have no idea why there is a question mark there

--
ND

i read a summary way back after i read annihilation, so it'd probably all be new now if i jumped into conquest.

alright, getting it now. i was sure someone said it sucked, but if it spawns a team that includes drax and rocket raccoon then i don't see how that's possible!

--
ND

Conquest certainly does not suck, and I've never seen anyone say that, they just say it's not as good as Annihilation. Which I guess is true, but not as good as fantastic is still great. Just don't read the Wraith mini-series, as it is pointless and boring, I was warned, and I didn't read it. I can fill you in on the very minor happenings of it when you get there.

Also Greg Weisman starts writing the Young Justice comic at #10, so that may as well be a regular DC book now.

--
~LtM

alright cool, looking forward to it then!

ND

Keep track of your progress here for me if you could, I would like to see your reactions and whatnot. I had a bunch of "HOLY CRAP WHAT" moments going through all of this Cosmic stuff, and I'm still not done. I finished War of Kings, and I'm on Realm of Kings now. I've been enjoying pretty much everything so far and it's constantly spurring me to keep going.

This was posted on the CAGN board, I think I'd like to know what you guys would choose.

Would you rather...

1. Take over the role of the Flash or Iron Man?
2. Be Superman's pal or Captain America's pal?
3. Be a mutant X-Man or a Mutant Ninja Turtle?
4. Own a bar in Marvel's NYC or Gotham City?
5. Have your own lightsaber or Captain America shield?
6. Be stranded in the Savage Land or the island on Lost?
7. Lose your marriage to a reboot or a deal with the devil?
8. Go to the Renaissance Faire with Nightcrawler or Nightwing?
9. Go to the Renaissance Faire with Kitty Pryde or Starfire?
10. Go to the Renaissance Faire with Deadpool or Lobo?

--
~Halo There is no Crane, only Scarecrow!
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3739/scarecrowq.jpg

Here's mine.

1. Take over the role of the Flash or Iron Man?

The Flash, easily. Super speed is so much more awesome than high tech armor.

2. Be Superman's pal or Captain America's pal?

Captain America. I like both, but Cap is my second favorite superhero, and being his pal would be like a dream.

3. Be a mutant X-Man or a Mutant Ninja Turtle?

Mutant X-Man for sure, I wouldn't care much for being a Turtle.

4. Own a bar in Marvel's NYC or Gotham City?

Gotham City, just for the chance to see any of the Bat-family.

5. Have your own lightsaber or Captain America shield?

Lightsaber. I love Cap, but Star Wars is my life.

6. Be stranded in the Savage Land or the island on Lost?

I'm not familiar with either, so I can't choose.

7. Lose your marriage to a reboot or a deal with the devil?

Reboot. OMD still grinds heavily on my gears f*** Quesada.

8. Go to the Renaissance Faire with Nightcrawler or Nightwing?

Nightwing, of course. He's one of the greatest characters ever.

9. Go to the Renaissance Faire with Kitty Pryde or Starfire?

Kitty Pride, she's a normal human girl of average height, while Starfire is an alien that people would be staring at the whole time, and I don't like being the center of attention even if that attention isn't solely directed on me. And she's taller than me.

10. Go to the Renaissance Faire with Deadpool or Lobo?

Deadpool. Even if he gets me killed, I'll still probably get a few laughs before I die.
