Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Perry on February 22, 2017, 10:44:29 PM Have fun with Apocalypse but just so you know, that "Apocalypse War" stuff is not really a crossover. It is just three individual Apocalypse stories going on at the same time through all three X books. You can read them out of order and in any order you wish as each title is a story in itself.

Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Perry on February 23, 2017, 11:46:41 AM I have been trying to think if there was any connection to them. Like at the end each book the story tied in somehow, but damn if I can remember. I really do't think so, but maybe there is some small thing ... or heck, some large thing I just breezed right over
:D I didn't concentrate too hard on the Extraordinary one as I was not really enjoying that book at the time so maybe I did miss something :D. I think I enjoyed the "All-New" one the best, though none of them were really great for me. Hope you dig them all or at least find you enjoyed the time, however!!! :) Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Jimmy T on February 23, 2017, 04:36:00 PM They are not inter connected. I read 2 of the 3 and they didn't play into each other at all.just enjoy it straight through.

Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Perry on February 27, 2017, 12:53:53 PM Well since you didn't volunteer the information ;) :D ... whad'ya think of those Apocalypse arcs?
EDIT - and come to think of it, how ya liking Reborn? As for me, I am absolutely ripping through my comic reading this week. Captain America #8 - a pretty cool 'alternate history' continuation. Captain America #9 - Not a bad issue, but holy hell this was dialog heavy. I could have read at least 2 more titles had it not been for this one :D. And yeppers, that is it. :( Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Jeff on February 27, 2017, 04:12:38 PM Well since you didn't volunteer the information ;) :D ... whad'ya think of those Apocalypse arcs? You know - I'm really glad they kept them as three separate contained stories in each title. I found all three enjoyable without a "Big Event" tainting them. Even the Extraordinary X-Men (the weakest of the three) was decent. They were three nice stories that I liked. EDIT - and come to think of it, how ya liking Reborn? I....like it, I think. It's still a little confusing but as I move through each issue I find something new I like. For example - I think by the end of the first arc I'll have a better sense of whether I want to keep going or just put it away as a one arc story.

Comixology The Black Monday Murders 2 The Black Monday Murders 3 The Black Monday Murders 4 Magnus Robot Fighter (2014) 3 Magnus Robot Fighter (2014) 4 Magnus Robot Fighter (2014) 0 Mayday 1 Mayday 2 Saga 37 Saga 38 Saga 39 Saga 40 Seven to Eternity 3 Seven to Eternity 4 Southern Bastards 15 Quantum & Woody TPB Vol 2: In Security RAI TPB Vol 2: For New Japan Trade Paperbacks Sandman TPB Vol 1 - "Preludes and Nocturnes!" - 50% done (4 of 8 issues) - Still haven't found where the wife put this. Magnus Robot Fighter was a surprise find for me. I had downloaded issue one ages ago as a freebie but never read it. While reading RAI, I found out that RAI was originally a backup story in what must have been the original Magnus. I opened this up to see if the RAI backup story was there but it was not. But I did discover it was written by Fred Van Lente whose work in Archer & Armstrong and Bloodshot I love. So I gave this a try and I really like it. Issues 0 - 4 are free if your a Comixology Unlimited member (which I am). The rest of this series runs $1.99 for each issue - the series is only 12 issues. Definately getting the rest of this - big thumbs up from the Jeff. ;) Black Monday Murders - I'll come back to this after I finish all four issues. Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Perry on February 27, 2017, 09:25:39 PM Black Monday Murders - I'll come back to this after I finish all four issues. See ya in a month !!! :D (And just for clarity, I am only saying the books are dense as hell) :) Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Jeff on February 28, 2017, 04:06:10 PM I know I said I'd wait until I finished the Black Monday Murders but I just finished issue 2 and I CAN'T WAIT!
Wow. What a fascinating series. There are so many layers to this onion and Hickman does a phenomenal job of peeling it in just two issues. I LOVE this story. There is NO WAY this ends well for our protagonist! If you haven't started this - pick it up now! So far - well worth any price! Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Perry on February 28, 2017, 05:50:31 PM Wow, you're reading those "trades in comic form" pretty fast ;D Are you reading it all or just the main story?
I didn't read any of the back matter of issue #1. I also thought it was going to be done after issue #4, and had plans on reading it in its entirety when #4 came out but then I heard there are more issues coming so I will wait until it's complete. Glad you like it that puppy. Be a shame to read all that and not like it. :) EDIT - Got through a couple more Marvel issues - Captain America #10 Mighty Thor #15 Uncanny Avengers #18 Uncanny Avengers #19 Unworthy Thor #4 Title: Re: Weekly Reader - February 22, 2017 Post by: Jeff on March 01, 2017, 04:56:30 PM Actually did really good on my list for the last week of Feb. Black Monday Murders was definitely the highlight of what I read. The remaining I'll roll over to next week.
