Let the Hype put you on the path towards righteousness.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ha! I'd be reading Batman and The Order if I let that happen

 

[PhotoJones]

You don't read The Order? For shame.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Frick no

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why do you hate good things?

 

[PhotoJones]

Spoons is trying to kill me with his bad taste.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

In its defense, I don't know the first thing about it; other than it's a 50SI team. It just didn't look all that interesting on the shelf. I know it's all kinds of popular around here though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But you've never bothered to ready any posts about why it's popular around here?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm a busy man!

I'm a busy man!

Busy reading X-books.

 

[CaptainCanada]

So, post-"Messiah Complex" it's time to reevalute the ole X-books.

Pre-"Endangered Species/Messiah Complex" I bought:

Astonishing X-Men
New X-Men
Uncanny X-Men

I added X-Men and X-Factor for the duration of ES/MC, plus the Emperor Vulcan miniseries that ends next week.

I know I'll be sticking with Astonishing (it seldom comes out, so it's easy to keep buying) and Uncanny; New is over, and I like the look of X-Force, so I'll buy that; I'll put X-Men: Legacy and X-Factor on provisionally; I tried the latter pre-ES, and dropped it after a few issues (wasn't my thing), but I'm interested to see what happens with Layla, and I like Darwin, who's joining the cast. From what I've seen of Young X-Men so far, it doesn't much interest me, and I'll probably skip Cable as well. So that leaves me with:

Astonishing
Legacy
Uncanny
X-Factor
X-Force

Oh, and I'm dropping Teen Titans, so the new list looks like:

Astonishing X-Men
Booster Gold
Captain America
Captain Marvel (3 issues to go)
Checkmate
Fables
Fantastic Four (Millar/Hitch)
Gargoyles
Green Lantern
The Incredible Hercules
Justice Society of America
Mighty Avengers
Ms. Marvel
Northlanders
Runaways (2 issues to go)
Thor
Uncanny X-Men
Wonder Woman
X-Factor
X-Force
X-Men: Legacy
X-Men: Emperor Vulcan (1 to go)
Young Avengers Presents

Has the art in Gargoyles gotten better?

 

[Darthphere]

The only marvel title I'm buying now is Amazing Spider-Man.

 

[PhotoJones]

Me too. I dropped the rest of them in disgust over the cancelation of Heroes For Hire.

 

[Darthphere]

Bastards. No one knows good hentai when they see it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Has the art in Gargoyles gotten better?

Not really. Although, it comes out so infrequently I can barely even remember.

 

[PhotoJones]

What a waste of a tremendously awesome property.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The stories are still pretty good, which makes the crappy art even more painful.

 

[PhotoJones]

I dropped it after one issue.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Eh, it's basically a labour of love, and doesn't sell well, so I'm just glad to get any story advancement.

Also, make with the goddamn second season part two DVDs already.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Buy another couple of copies of the first part. Apparently, that sold poorly, which is why no second part has been released.

 

[PhotoJones]

They released Season 2 in parts?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep. It's significantly longer than season 1. I think season 2 is something like 40 episodes or more.

 

[PhotoJones]

Holy God. How'd they manage that?
