Title: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Jeff on July 05, 2017, 05:14:45 PM Going to stick to just finishing up my list from last week. I'm on vacation which would make you think I had more time for reading. But wife and kid are off too which means I have less free time then when I'm working. That seems so backwards!
ComiXology Nailbiter Vol 2: Bloody Hands - Collects #6-10 Action Comics Vol 2: Welcome to the Planet - Collecting #963-966 and an introductory tale from JUSTICE LEAGUE #52 Detective Comics Vol 2: The Victim Syndicate - Collects #943-949 Red Hood & the Outlaws Vol 1: Dark Trinity - Collects #1-6 Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps 11 Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps 12 Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps 13 Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 05, 2017, 05:48:45 PM Okay, let's see here ...
IF I can get to the LCS I should be able to get all of these knocked out - Sacred Creatures #1 Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #7 If not, I should be able to at least get these done - Batman #27 (will this title ever star Batman or just the continued King version of the character?) Deathstroke #21 Avengers #9 Black Bolt #2 Black Bolt #3 Rapture #2 Motor Girl #7 And that is all I am committing to right now. After the last few weeks I am airing on the side of caution and keeping this list small :) EDIT - Forgot all about Bloodshot's Day Off #1 hitting this week. Obviously that is on the list. :) Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Jimmy T on July 06, 2017, 12:26:41 AM I finished:
Dark Horse Rebels #4 Comixology East of West v6 Descender v4 Chrononauts v1 Seven to Eternity v1 Adventuresome? That would be reading: Grell: Green Arrow v6 And just Cable & Deadpool #20-25 HA! Just found that I had been buying trades waiting to catch up, meaning I have Unity v5 Unity v6 to read yet! Score!!! Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 06, 2017, 10:10:06 AM I finished: Well you need to jump right into Divinity III :) HA! Just found that I had been buying trades waiting to catch up, meaning I have Unity v5 Unity v6 to read yet! Score!!! Heck yeah! I loved Unity, although I hated the way it ended. Not the story, but the entire ... production(?) ... choice(?). Of course in hindsight, it was probably more the stick up my butt than what Valiant did. :D Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 06, 2017, 12:51:11 PM Good start -
Sacred Creatures #1 Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #7 Batman #26 Deathstroke #21 Suicide Squad #20 - added. I forgot this is the issue with Sejic art. Gotta take a look at it!!! Avengers #9 Defenders #1 - added Defenders #2 Black Bolt #2 Black Bolt #3 Rapture #2 Motor Girl #7 And of course, I go off list again :-\ Added - Bloodshot's Day Off #1 - Meh God Country #5 God Country #6 - not the ending I was hoping for, making the entire min just "okay" Justice Inc. #1 - Read a couple pages and then flipped through the rest. Art was horrible (Dynamite comic so no surprise) and Rai #1 - Finally started this darn thing. :D Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Jeff on July 10, 2017, 02:58:09 AM Better progress this week and I might just make it through the list...
ComiXology Action Comics Vol 2: Welcome to the Planet - Collecting #963-966 and an introductory tale from JUSTICE LEAGUE #52 Detective Comics Vol 2: The Victim Syndicate - Collects #943-949 Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps 11 Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps 12 Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps 13 Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 10, 2017, 01:23:12 PM Oh yeah, better than I have done in a long time -
Batman #26 Deathstroke #21 - Well now, didn't see that ending coming Suicide Squad #20 Hal and the GLC #18 Hal and the GLC #19 Hal and the GLC #20 Hal and the GLC #21 Hal and the GLC #22 - Oh please, please, please let that last page be about who I hope it is about (I doubt it, though) Avengers #9 Defenders #1 Defenders #2 Black Bolt #2 Black Bolt #3 Sacred Creatures #1 Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #7 Rapture #2 Motor Girl #7 Bloodshot's Day Off #1 God Country #5 God Country #6 Justice Inc. #1 Rai #1 Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Jeff on July 10, 2017, 02:22:49 PM I'm surprised you didn't go ahead and finished those last two before posting! :D ;D
Great progress though Perry! Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 10, 2017, 03:43:25 PM I'm surprised you didn't go ahead and finished those last two before posting! :D ;D May be three more days before I get to them now as I am trying to work on Hal :D I think they may have to go on next weeks as I just can't imagine this trend, of me reading comics, can continue to Tuesday night. :D EDIT - And what did you think of Red Hood? Did you get that at a discount? I found it to be pretty tight considering I had almost no interest in it at all at first. It hooked me in fast, until the art change and now I can't run away fast enough. :-\ Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Jeff on July 10, 2017, 06:37:27 PM EDIT - And what did you think of Red Hood?

The digital trade was $12.99, so full price. But if you divide that by six issues (12.99 / 6 = $2.17) you wind up paying $2.17 per issue. A slightly better deal than the $2.99 per issue. Most of the other digital DC trades have 7 or 8 issues in them which really gives you a better bargain as long as you don't care about staying current. So when does the art change? What issue? Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 10, 2017, 06:45:19 PM It changes to ... crap ... BRB
;D EDIT - okay, I'm back. ;D Looks like Dexter Soy is back? I couldv'e sworn he was the one I didn't like, but he was the original penciler and inker, so that can't be it. Hmmm, I must have just seen the fill-in issue #7 and thought there was a new artist? Hell, now I am going to have to go back and look. :D Seems like you don't have to worry too much about art change after all. Maybe I got use to Rocafort's issue #8 and so when Soy came back his style hit me really bad in comparison? Hell, man, I have no idea. Buy as long as you enjoy I guess. :D :D :D :D EDIT 2 Yep, I have no idea what I saw (maybe page two of issue #9 where Artemis' head looks completely squashed and a few more panels that had issues) that I thought Soy had just joined as it didn't look as good as before, but, yep, Soy all the way (mostly) Damn it, I may have to pick this back up now DAMN YOU AND YOUR QUESTIONS!!!! :D :D :D Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Jimmy T on July 11, 2017, 01:17:48 AM Dark Horse Comixology Descender v4 Chrononauts v1 Seven to Eternity v1 Adventuresome? That would be reading: Grell: Green Arrow v6 And just Cable & Deadpool #20-25 Unity v6 And...Perry...I did it!! So very cool to see how this all began. Kurt Busiek writes such supered heroes, and crafts such tales of people, and hope, and change, and trying. Always was a favorite writer of mine, and I love being reminded why. Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 11, 2017, 10:57:53 AM And...Perry...I did it!! And someday ... someday ... I hope to join you!!! :) (yes, still jealous) ;D Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Perry on July 11, 2017, 01:35:46 PM One more to go and I am reading it now, so it may as well be red/read!!!!
;D Batman #26 Deathstroke #21 - Well now, didn't see that ending coming Suicide Squad #20 - Sejic makes this issue. Man I love his stuff Hal and the GLC #18 Hal and the GLC #19 Hal and the GLC #20 Hal and the GLC #21 Hal and the GLC #22 - Oh please, please, please let that last page be about who I hope it is about (I doubt it, though) Justice League #24 - I read this as I found out Hitch was not writing it and it had Mera reacting to events of Aquaman. It wasn't great by any means, but I may check out issue #25 now so ... :-\ Avengers #9 Defenders #1 Defenders #2 Black Bolt #2 Black Bolt #3 Sacred Creatures #1 Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #7 Rapture #2 Motor Girl #7 Bloodshot's Day Off #1 God Country #5 God Country #6 Justice Inc. #1 Rai #1 EDIT - just to make it offical, I did it, I did it. Yay! This is how Jeff feels almost every week? Wow! The power. THE POWER!! :D ;D Title: Re: Weekly Reader - July 5, 2017 Post by: Jeff on July 11, 2017, 10:40:44 PM EDIT - just to make it offical, I did it, I did it. Yay!
