doesn’t anybody here read G.I. Joe: America’s Elite? That is one good book.

Here’s the problem with G. I. Joe, for me. Yes, I dig it, though not so much that I would put it in my top five. My real problem isn’t with the book, it’s with the publisher. When Devil’s Due books disappear, they are basically impossible to reorder, and they tend to sell out fast. Since I missed the first few issues of this latest 12-part story, I can’t get caught up so I can follow along with the current issue, so I don’t bother. I’m waiting until that story is over to try reading it again.

Dan hates Hawkeye.

I’m just saying…

I don’t hate Hawkeye. I just think he should have stayed a minor villain fighting Iron Man. Is that so wrong?

As long as Randy continues to defend Hawkeye, he’s safe.

Way behind on reading but I finished this yesterday. Hoping for a sequel!
I’m down for Battle Royale HC at my LCS. Won’t get around to rereading it for a very long while but I expect to be content skimming the extras and appreciating the art presented in this format.

Is anyone still reading Ba’s previous book (with Matt Fraction) “Casanova”?

Oh, and sorry for the multiple posts, but Casanova still kicks ass!!! Its not for everyone, but if you want something cool, and fun, and wacky and cool again, and you’re not too worried about everything making sense all the time, its a great choice! And, heck, the new artist is Ba’s twin brother, Fabio Moon, whos art is very similar to his brother’s. So, no jarring change in art from the first story arc to the second.

1. Captain America
2. Fox Bunny Funny
3. Yotsuba v. 5
4. Brave & The Bold
5. ummm….short list today…..behind in reading again…..maybe Umbrella Academy? I’ve only flicked through the 2nd issue so far, but it looks good!

I quite liked Uzumaki too, but in the same way as Tomie….its interesting, with great imagery, but all the chapters seem to just be following a pattern, almost like its an exercise for the writer, rather than a story….

As long as Randy continues to defend Hawkeye, he’s safe.

I think I’ll probably give “Suburban Glamour” a look (despite the cover price). I liked “Phonogram” quite a bit — it’s not for everyone — and I dig McKelvie’s art.

I see that “Umbrella Academy” has made quite a few lists; I think it’s really entertaining and I love Gabriel Ba’s art. Is anyone still reading Ba’s previous book (with Matt Fraction) “Casanova”?

To All:

I know the first issue just came out so it may be hard to answer this question, but how does “Suburban Glamour” compare to “Phonogram?” The books sound similar.

-Dex

The book is quite similar in art and in “wierdness factor” but I would say that Suburban Glamour has much more interesting characters with much more depth. I would also say that, though it’s hard to say after only a single issue, the story seems to be a bit less nonsensical than Phonogram.

Oh, and Dex… got a question for you. Are you here doing “research” on one of the Panteon? Does The Code of Harry tell you one of us needs to go? If so, here’s to hoping it’s Randy.

1. Brave and the Bold
2. Shadowpact
3. Deadshot- just bought the mini from Mile High, really good stuff, makes me wonder why Christos Gage isn’t on a high-profile book yet.
4. Green Lantern- Yeah, its from last week, but I didn’t read it until Tuesday.
5. Mighty Avengers- yeah, I know it’s almost heresy to like this book, but what the hell, it’s fun and i haven’t read anything else from this week.

There’s nothing in there that I’d be concerned about an 8-year-old seeing. I make it a practice not to say whether or not a book is safe for someone else’s child, though.

OK, thanks for the reassurance!

I just bought the hardcover Shazam for my 8-year-old nephew. Someone tell me it’s OK for him. His mom is overprotective and a bible-thumper … not that I’m judging her. Ok, maybe a little, but I don’t want her to throw it away or anything.

Monster v.11 was amazing if I do say so.

I hadn’t expected to be honest-to-god surprised by anything, but that twist in the first chapter floored me. I don’t know why I hadn’t seen it coming, but it caught me off guard and loved the book even more for it.

Yeah, me too. I really should have seen it, but I didn’t, and I was off-balance the rest of the volume.

I bought the 52:covers as well. I’m pretty happy with the purchase. I already own the entire battle royale collection, but I am still going to buy the oversized edition. I am just wondering whats the problem with Shazam: Monster SOciety of Evil? It seemed everyone was on board with it for the first 2 issues…and then everyone railed against it after.

I dug it all the way through, and the hardcover looks great. I didn’t think there was a problem with it.
