The Diamond List for May 23rd, 2012...

[Themanofbat]

Ok... so in honour of Mother's Day, I present to you this lovely video that came out in 1990, and was quickly banned for it's "lack of good taste"... lol

But the first 16 seconds are dedicated to all the cool comic book moms, and to all the moms of my fellow comic book brethren....

Edit: Nevermind on Batman Inc. Sounds like Morrison is picking up where he left off. I'll check it out, but he's hit and miss with me. Most of the time his Batman stuff is too far out for me. We'll see.

Hey Corp, is I, Vampire #7-8 worth reading without reading JLD too, or should I just skip it?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's a true crossover, i.e. IV and JLD basically act like alternating issues of the same series. You could conceivably read one without the other and not be too confused if you pay attention, but the whole climax of the story that you see in the last IV issue has its roots pretty heavily in the preceding JLD issue.

 

[CConn]

Are the JLD issues actually good?

 

[Themanofbat]

They've been middle of the road for me... I only get the book for John Constantine... I could care less for many of the team players, except for Boston Brand...

 

[CConn]

Oh, I don't mean in general. Just for the crossover.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh. I thought the whole crossover was a step down from IV's usual level, to be honest. The JLD issues weren't really any better or worse than the IV ones.

 

[CConn]

Eh, I'll skip it.

Feast or famine schedule continues, with this being famine. I'll take it. 4 comics for the price of 5, ah, Marvel pricing.

 

[JewishHobbit]

BATMAN INCORPORATED #1 $2.99
JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #9 $2.99
ASTONISHING X-MEN #50 $3.99

Maybe
SECRET AVENGERS #27 AVX $3.99

I'm debating on a few drops and Secret Avengers is one of them so we'll see.

And thank God, the first time in 4 or 5 weeks that it's less than $30.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

DC

Flash #9

Marvel

[CConn]

No Batman Inc?

Wha with the wha wha?

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

I'm new to DC and haven't read any of the Batman Inc he did before the reboot. I want to check that out before I get the new issues.

 

[CConn]

Don't worry, it's Morrison, so you'll be confused no matter what you read.

What's your DC pull list look like?

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

I'm behind on all of it. Some I've only read one issue and I'm waiting for the trades.

Wonder Woman - Is the book I like best so far. Never had any interest in the character before and Azzarello has me loving what I've read.

Batman - I liked Snyder's Black Mirror arc much better than what I've read so far, but it's still really good.

Earth 2 - Don't know anything about the JSA, but the 1st issue pulled me in.

Justice League

Green Lantern

Batwoman

Supergirl

Flash

Animal Man

Stormwatch

Detective Comics (maybe)

Red Hood and the Outlaws (maybe)

and Sweet Tooth if you're counting Vertigo.
