[Thelogan]

Anyone else been keeping up with Manhattan Projects? I love that goddamn book. I really hope it doesn't stop at Vol. 1.

[Panch]

Has the new issue come out? I've got issues 1 though 4. Great stuff. Einstein steals the show.

 

[Thelogan]

A jew, a scientist, and a drunk walk into a lab.

 

Nah, 4 is the latest I have.

[The NZA]

 

interesting things goin on this week! who's picking up what?

[Thelogan]

Morbidly curious about that First X-Men book, and are they already relaunching Green Lantern again?

 

Of course I'll get the final issue of Locke & Key.

 

I might have to get Black Kiss II #1, I like the original. Ol' Coward Faykin hasn't done much for me since though, so I dunno.

Boys #69 comes out tomorrow too.

[The NZA]

is 69 the finale, or where's it ending again? and i think L&K: Grindhouse is a one-shot...i was meaning to ask where the finale was there too.

 

im currently reading GL and i don't know what's gonig on there. if x-book is good, let us know...that Iron Fist team on Hawkeye is too good for me to pass on, personally.

[Thelogan]

I think Boys stops at 70.

[Panch]

That's the GL #0 issue. All the New 52 books are getting a zero issue. And I mean, ALL. Some folks will be getting their own books afterwards.

 

[Iambaytor]

Nite-Owl gonna sue somebody

 

So... is that John Stewart on that Green Lantern cover?

[Thelogan]

if x-book is good, let us know...

 

 

 

 

Absolutely nothing special. Mildly interesting, but in what's become a fairly generic way. It's just a little nothing of a book.

And what the fuck happened to Neal Adams? This isn't even interesting to look at.

[Iambaytor]

THAT'S Neal Adams? That's officially the most depressing thing I've heard today.

[Thelogan]

It's upsetting. It's unrecognizable, a far cry from shit like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The guy who drew The First X-Men never would have gotten famous. He would have been drawing Darkhold Redeemers or something.

 

I need to make a "yo ass used to be beautiful" meme.

[Panch]

Nope.

[Mr. Hakujin]

That GL cover, I don't even...

 

Let's give him the world's most powerful weapon . . . and a gun. Oh, and put him in a luchador mask. And give him a Sanskrit tattoo on his forearm. Yeah, all the kids have tattoos nowadays.

[The NZA]

it's arabic for "courage", you racist.

[the division of joy]

Finished Y:

 

Going to go for 100 bullets.

[The NZA]

thoughts on Y?

also, if you put 100 down, youll have to wiki its 7 thousand characters, just a heads-up.

 

 

please talk to JZA to feel better about the ending afterwards too

 

[the division of joy]

I loved Y:. Kinda trailed off a tad towards the end, but overall, it was fantastic.

[IceManML]

Given I'm only reading binded reprints, I don't post about what I'm reading.

 

But I had no idea where to put this.. However, this ones for panch.

From: Hondo's Gaming Journal

 

I followed some breadcrumb trail from something or another and ended up on The Defenders wiki page, then I ended up reading What if? Age of Apocalypse.

 

It has Captain America wielding Mjolnir, Brother Voodoo, Captain Britain wearing a souped up version of Mach 1 Iron Man armor, Wolerine with bone claws, Thing with a prostetchic arm, Nate Summers and Sauron.

 

I like alternate dimension shit, and it's like an alternate alternate reality. Inception. It's also very 90's and the narrative jumps sporadically, as these one-shots tend to do. It was a fun couple of minutes.

 

It also had this Wolverine vs. Namor fight, which was pretty sweet.
