Posted May 5, 2012 Just a heads up, I'm no big comic book fan, but it's Free Comic Book Day today! Just went to Forbidden Planet and got a goodie bag with: The Avengers - Age of Ultron Grant Morrison's Dinosaurs vs Aliens The Hypernaturals 2000AD Other things also available, think it's bit of a lucky dip what you get in your bag. All preview type issues I think, but still pretty cool for a comic novice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2012 Just red Red Son. Apart from preferring Batman keep his usual origins instead of the Russian parallel, I thought it was pretty amazing. Not sure what to think about the ending, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2012 Has anyone had a chance to read any of the Marvel Season One original graphic novels yet? I'd heard the Fantastic Four one was supposed to be crap but nothing about the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 8, 2012 Is antman any good as a character? If so what should I check out that's got him in. I'm not sure on any books with the original Ant-Man, but there was a series called The Irredeemable Ant-Man which is supposed to be pretty good. It was written by Robert Kirkman and although it only lasted 12 issues it was well reviewed from what I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2012 Been having a look and that actually sounds like it could be good. Thanks. I'll check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2012 Yeah ReZ loves that book. I havent got around to reading it yet, it tends to be quite expensive to buy so for now there are cheaper trades Id rather purchase. Ive never really read much of Hank Pym Ant-man. Im starting to fix that with the Avengers vol.3 trades ive been buying. I hear the one that should get to me in the next few days has the best Ultron story in it so that should be pretty Pym heavy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2012 Pym is completely brilliant in Avengers Academy. That's really a book about him as much as it's about the younger characters. And yes, get the Irredeemable Ant Man. It's hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2012 the Irredeemable Ant Man. It's hilarious. Agreed. I read it this afternoon and it's very funny. I laughed out loud many times. great fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2012 Green Lantern Annual #1 GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1 reunites the acclaimed creative team of writer Geoff Johns and artist Ethan Van Sciver, who have previously collaborated on such titloes as GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH, GREEN LANTERN: THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR and THE FLASH: REBIRTH. "Working with Ethan means things change, things are revealed and new characters rise,” Geoff Johns revealed to THE SOURCE. “It's the madness of our collaborations that started all this and will continue it. The universe is a dangerous place. And it's about to get even more so..." “GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1 not only brings the Black Hand story to a truly unexpected close, but sets up the major events that will heavily impact the entire Green Lantern franchise in a truly devastating way,” continued editor Matt Idelson. “And there's no more appropriate pairing for this book than reuniting Geoff Johns with Ethan Van Sciver, given the Green Lantern history those two have under their belts.” GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1 will span across 48 pages. Look for the issue in stores on August 29th. That cover is an familiar looking cover, so end of the lanterns then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 12, 2012 Right, I've been reading loads recently. Green Lantern Annual? YES. I am hyped for this. Green Lantern has been fucking fantastic the last few issues, especially the most recent issue 9 - awesome reveals, and a very cool ending. Ahhhhh. God. So good. Batman has been pretty great/fantastic. Invincible was awesome, glad to see certain things, and the ending was cool. The Walking Dead has been amazing, this "Something To Fear" arc is shaping up to be one of the best arcs. Sounds amazing, and the (main villain?)'s name is awesome and evil. Basically, yes. Also I am looking forward to showing you photos of my room. It is <3. I get the internet in still another week though, its well annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 12, 2012 I think im going to stop using The Book Depository for my trades. The cheaper price was nice but they take so long to get you books that its not worth it. Im still waiting for Avengers Assemble Vol.2 to be dispatched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 14, 2012 Some of my favorite covers from DC's August solicits. Batwoman #12 Batgirl #12 Redhood & The Outlaws #12 Earth 2 #4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 14, 2012 Shame to see Justice League International is being cancelled after issue 12. I hope we see some of those characters turn up elsewhere. As Bleeding Cool said when they reported it, its an odd choice as its outselling multiple other books that are staying around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2012 It read to me that they were spinning it off instead of a dead on cancellation. Maybe giving Booster Gold his own series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2012 I'd still like to get a series where the character realises something has changed in the universe. Booster Gold would be a good one for that or possibly Kid Flash. Both were quite important in the Flashpoint side stories and things could spin off from those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2012 More Kid Flash. More Flash. I fucking love The Flash. It's almost painful waiting for The Flash to come out monthly. It's been absolutely brilliant. Gorilla Grodd up next. Maybe that's a way the could bring Wally West back. Or summit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2012 Oh nice, Netflix UK have just added a load of comic stuff to its library. Got some of the old cartoon series in there along with some Marvel motion comics like Astonishing X-Men, Spider-Woman and Iron Man Extremis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2012 Wonder Woman in Batwoman? Also this is pretty nomalicious. Jae Lee's covers are like sculptures, really gorgeous. Check out his Wolverine covers rom last year/2010/whenever. They read like a series, like an artist in a gallery would make. A lot of variation within conformity. I *acquired* all of New Avengers (the mid-00's series) today, which I never read but felt like I should. So I will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
