Drop Batman and pick up The Order.

 

[Kraven]

Is that an Initiative title? I think I've seen that title's name thrown around a bit around here.

 

[yenaled]

It's a great title.

 

[PhotoJones]

It really is Marvel's best team book in years.

 

[GNR]

It really is Marvel's best team book in years.

That's a stretch.

But yes it is good and worth picking up.

 

[PhotoJones]

That's a stretch.

No, it's really not.

 

[Xofenroht]

Yeah, I'll pick up #546 of ASM, but after that...PEEEEACE!

 

[GNR]

No, it's really not.

Yes it is.

Runaways
Young Avengers
Thunderbolts
Ultimates 1 and 2

Order is only 6 issues in,so it's a bit early to be overhyping it that much and calling it the best thing ever.It's an interesting concept with fresh characters,but let's give it some room to breath first.

I didn't call it the best thing ever. I called it "Marvel's best team book in years."

At this point, it's better than Runaways was when Runaways was at issue #6. I also have been enjoying even more than I enjoyed Young Avengers (which was a LOT), Thunderbolts and Ultimates (which doesn't count anyway).

 

[Kraven]

What about Astonishing X-Men? Although often delayed, I've read lots of good things about it. I'll look into the Order, I went to Midtown's site and the first issues are still there for cheap so I'll jump at those the next chance I get.

 

[PhotoJones]

I don't even buy Astonishing X-Men anymore. It's so late that I've stopped caring about the story. When it ships, I'll flip through it to see some nice Cassaday art, but that's about it.

 

[Xofenroht]

Man, I'm going to miss my comic shop. They've been having these little 50% off sales...I wish I could take it back to school with me.

 

[PhotoJones]

My shop gave me this week's pull list for free. Merry Christmas, indeed.

 

[Xofenroht]

What? How the hell did that happen?

 

[PhotoJones]

Uh...I walked in, got my pull, found out it was free this week, said thanks and walked out.

 

[Xofenroht]

****er

I need a smoke after that shocker.

 

[GNR]

yea,so I think I'm just going to wait for Ultimate Human in trade to make room for those Image and DH books

 

[PhotoJones]

Which Image and Dark Horse books?

 

[GNR]

Is anyone here reading Proof?Looks like an interesting series.

Is Lone Ranger any good?I wouldn't mind reading a solid western month in and out.

 

[yenaled]

Not as good as Jonah Hex but it's not bad.

 

[GNR]

Which Image and Dark Horse books?

'76
Dynamo 5
Proof
Pax Romana

End League

 

[Xofenroht]

Does anyone read "Castle Waiting"? I picked up an issue not too long ago and enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sounds vaguely familiar, like I thought about possibly buying it once. My problem with really small-scale indies is that my shop doesn't order them most of the time, so I'd have to keep bugging the dudes to special order them for me, and I'm usually just interested in seeing what they're about in the first place, so I don't even know if it'll be worth the money and effort.

 

[GNR]

I also picked up Umbrella Academy #1-4 after all the good reviews it's been getting.

Nightly News is another trade I picked up,glanced thru it so far and the design is just brilliant.

Casanova is another Image series I want to pick up,but 6 issues in a HC format for 32 bucks is quite the ripoff,especially after the 10 dollar trade containing 7 issues for D5.I saw 9-11 on the shelf,but thought I would be too lost trying to jump aboard so late in the game.

But Proof is amazing so far!I only picked up 1 and 2,still waiting on 3,but if you love monsters,you'll love this.It's not a silly concept either,each page contains little factoids about real world creature sightings and discoveries.

 

[Kitsune]

For the first time in years, I did not pick up Amazing Spiderman.
