Dallas, Texas but living in Houston, Texas
Your kids are into comics? When I was going to comic shops years ago I never saw a kid or when I would go to Barnes and Noble when they were selling singles I never saw a kid reading them but I did see them checking out manga
I don't have kids but it's something I want to do someday. A family friend of ours gave me a bunch of his comics when I was a kid because he didn't have kids of his own.

Only way I ever do physical again is for a variant cover or an older omnibus or some shyt. fukk I look like reading some flimsy ass floppy, looking at everything on one page? :scust: fukk is this, 1947? :heh:

Plus going to comic shops with a bunch of smelly neckbeard cacs. :scusthov: Probably gonna hear them going in on their Comicsgate talking points while I'm waiting in line. :mjpls:

Avengers..... that "Agents of Wakanda"..... for a street level team, that's dangerous as shyt. :hubie:

Hell, the thought of Dr. Nemesis having Wakanda tech :picard:

And yes, Die is fukking great. Love the spin on character classes.


I wanna read Young Justice, but..... but Bendis is writing it. :mjcry:

I know it's hard for some of you to admit,........ but Bendis is killing at DC right now.
It's okay, take a deep breath.
Action Comics, Superman, Young Justice, Pearl and Scarlett are all dope.
I'm even nervous about someone else writing Miles Morales (so far that books been pretty good).

I can't do digital only when it comes to literature. Whether it's comics, books, newspapers, etc. I'm just too old school when it comes to comic books. Plus if I'm in a desperate situation and REALLY need money I could sell them. Plus it's something that I would like to pass onto my children someday. :yeshrug:
Comixology sales are too good to pass up. I usually buy to read on sale, then buy a physical if i liked it enough.

Love all of the Todd McFarlane stuff. Might have to go check those early works of his from DC and Marvel (pre Spider-Man)

CRIMINAL #1 was great. Brubaker back in his wheelhouse after Kill or Be Killed. We need more crime comics.


GUNNING FOR HITS #1 was surprisingly great as well. It's an inside baseball crime look at the music industry in the 80s. Terrific art by Moritat, and the writing is clever

His Superman/Action Comics run so far is nothing special. It's not bad but it has done absolutely zero for the character either.

Young Justice was entertaining (outside of the Marvel-esque 'everyone has to joke around including the villains') but it's one issue so far.

I disagree. Rogol Zaar is :trash: as a character but the mystery surrounding him and what really happened to Krypton has been intriguing so far.

Action Comics on the other hand is boring as shyt. How the fukk do you take a book that's literally called Action Comics and make it this boring, with little to no action? :francis:

A mystery that just ponders in the background. It would have been more interesting if Rogol Zaar wasn't as trash as you say, but even then the mystery hardly feels like it will be not be some ass-pulling.

Rogol Zaar is horrible and the Krypton stuff is equally as bad. Haven't read Young Justice but do they explained why Tim isn't Red Robin?
