ComiXology Batman & the Outsiders 3 Batman & the Outsiders 4 Batman Universe 1 Batman Universe 2 Lazarus Risen 2 Lazarus Risen 3 The Boys TPB Vol 5: Herogasm Marvel Unlimited Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Han Solo 1 Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Jabba the Hutt 1 Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Luke Skywalker Star Wars: Tie Fighter 1 Star Wars: Tie Fighter 2 Star Wars: Tie Fighter 3 Doctor Aphra 33 ------------------------------------------------------- Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Special 1 - Three stories featuring 3 characters: IG-88, Yoda, and Porkins & Biggs. IG-88 story was a typical bounty hunter story. Not bad. The Yoda story was also a fine short story but nothing earth shattering. The Porkins & Biggs story...uh...whoa. A buddy comedy tale much like Image's "The Fix". Wasn't expecting that. Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Han Solo 1 - Ha! Typical Han Solo. Nice one. Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Jabba the Hutt 1 - Now surprisingly, this was the best one so far. I didn't expect that! This issue is about not underestimating the great Jabba. Which is what I did before reading! Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Luke Skywalker - Just ok story but I liked seeing Luke in the Black outfit from Return of the Jedi.

Reads quickly but still has character. Thumbs up. Doctor Aphra 33 - Part 2 of the new arc and this time we're surrounded by Rebels. Still my favorite Star Wars comic.

It's too expensive for just a slightly above average book. Batman Universe 1 & 2 - This is a LOT of fun. Proof that Bendis would have been better on Batman than what he's doing right now.

This quarterly wait is killing me. Especially since I have to wait even longer than that for the price to drop from $7.99 to $1.99. Love this book and these two issues are prime reasons why. Great battles between the Lazarus'. Or is it Lazari? Whatever - it's great! Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day!

Overall plot moves forward here and the baddies are escalating their plans. Can稚 wait to see them get some come uppings. Speaking of which, I知 adding the next volume since I have some time this morning while waiting on the car to get fixed. ADD: The Boys Vol 6: Self-Preservation Society Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Jimmy T on December 28, 2019, 03:43:21 PM I read!!!!
Amazing Spider-man 9-10 Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-man 311-313, Spider-geddon 5-what, PPSM is done? I know FNSM starts a little later...but I'll miss this book's levity. Also, I hate all things Morlun, and will make a thread to complain. :D I find it funny, that there are no less than 2 #1 Captain Marvel issues in my long 100+ issue backlog of Marvel comics from the past 18 months-plus there are issues before that at #125 from the prior series! Maybe it's because no one enjoys Military Bitch Carol? So they keep restarting for interest? Well, I'll see when I get there. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Jimmy T on December 28, 2019, 06:20:28 PM Captain America 5-11 : I think, I feel, that I should really enjoy this book. The espionage, the secrets, the man out of time, the Hero for a country who doesn't believe in him-but he believes still. The art has been really good. A big over arching story? I should be all on board. Why isn't it my favorite? I think a little bit of feeling like there's too much character navel-gazing exposition.
Either that, or it just goes a wee slow in it's build. Immortal Hulk 17-19 : I LOVE THIS HULK BOOK SO MUCH THANK YOU AL EWING I WILL BUY THIS IN TRADES!!!! That and I have always been a huge Joe Bennett fan on art. I remember his art back on Spider-man Unlimited stories (the 'Unlimited' title was a 5th week title to make sure Spider-man books were published each week!)

And the origins of the rest the team (except Butcher). Great collection. The battles here with the #2 super team are some of the most brutal and most deserved. Thumbs way up!

This will go down as one of the great Hulk runs. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Jimmy T on December 29, 2019, 04:46:45 PM Yeah...that ending in 19...wow! And just all the visual looks of the Harpy and Abomination....what a great, classic creepy-horror kind of book!!!

Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Perry on December 30, 2019, 02:24:26 PM Strolling along at my normal pace this week, although I had planned on knocking out the Annihilation one-shots to finish that "minivent" (HeeHee) but was sidetracked along the way and read non of it
;D New Mutants #2 New Mutants #3 New Mutants #4 - It seems I am going to enjoy the Hickman "Mutants in space" stuff more than the Brisson stuff :-\ Invaders #12 - An okay series that kind of did nothing in the long run. As is the way. Still enjoyed it :) Ghost Rider #3 - But really enjoying this. Art was a little less spectacular here, having a fill-in artist after 2 issues? Really? I bet Buscema and Kirby are rolling over in their graves while Perez is happy he can't see such a thing happen!! WOW, damn Perry, that was mean ... and towards the wrong person. WTH??? ;D Lois Lane #5 Lois Lane #6 - Never cared for Lois' dad, sooo ... But still love the way Rucka writes women! Tales from the Dark Mulitverse: Blackest Night - Not as good as Titans, well, not as much wow factor Batman: Last Knight on Earth #2 Batman: Last Knight on Earth #3 - Really enjoyed this 3 issue "What-if" Batman story set in the near future. Can't wait to see what Capullo is on next! Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Jeff on December 31, 2019, 02:49:19 AM 覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧 The Boys Vol. 8: Highland Laddie - Had to find out what happens next after Vol 7. Glad I did because now I'm not so mad at Butcher. Well, yeah, I am but at least what he did wasn't permanent. But I can see that things won't be all roses when Hughie's truth comes out. Great Volume. And I knew.... Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Jimmy T on December 31, 2019, 04:45:53 AM I could not stand the written accents on Hughie's vacation. I just can't stand reading that much written slop of the human tongue. Really took me out of that volume, and I really only looked at a lot of the pictures without much reading.

I just can't stand reading that much written slop of the human tongue. Really took me out of that volume, and I really only looked at a lot of the pictures without much reading. I agree, Jimmy. It was hard to read. I managed to push through it and still enjoy the book, but yeah, it definitely hurt the read. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Perry on December 31, 2019, 10:52:31 PM I'm going to get a couple more single issues in tonight, especially since the Fireworks have already started nearby and it isn't yet 6:00 PM (oh such joy for us early to bed, early to rise type peeps), but I think I am gonna try busting out some East of West starting tomorrow. I have been enjoying the last few complete runs I have read (Watchmen and Freedom Fighters) and starting to get the collected bug again. Just so much more enjoyable (and memorable for me) to read in clumps. Especially series that are now over and done.
Having said that, I may not read all of East of West without a break like I was able to do with the two titles above. Reading 12 issues in a row of the same thing is a little different than reading 45 :D But we will see. I know I got up to issue 17 or so the last time around with this title and I really enjoyed reading those so ... yeah ... who knows Hell, maybe I will start two completed titles at the same time, although I am getting behind on both Criminal and my Hulk run, have lots of issues of those to catch up on, so maybe I will just do one of those with EoW instead. Although I did just realize I never read that prequel to Gaiman's Sandman, the book called Sandman Overture as of yet ... and that is only 6 issues worth of collected goodness so.... ;D Title: Re: Weekly Reader, December 25, 2019 Christmas Day Comic Book Day! Post by: Perry on January 01, 2020, 10:03:19 PM Got in just a coupl;e more last night to finish the week -
X-Men #4 - Darn it. This one didn't hit for me at all. Maybe I'm too close to the antagonists? ;D ;D Suicide Squad #1 - Was told I had to try this. Kinda what I expected, but I liked it. Shocked by that. :o Gideon Falls #19 - Good, but I think I enjoyed this more in bunches. May wait awhile before returning. Family Tree #2 - Totally thought I would not like this title but the first two have been spectacular!! Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy #1 - Speaking of "totally", I totally forgot all about this Black Hammer Universe mini until last night!! Great beginning, sorta like a ... and no spoiler tag as it was in the previews, but look away if you want to go in completely clean ... "What If Punisher found Bruce right after his parents were shot". Plus the art style fits and that makes me happy. Looks like the Hammer Universe is back baby ... and away from DC!!!! ********************************** New Mutants #2 New Mutants #3 New Mutants #4 Invaders #12 Ghost Rider #3 Lois Lane #5 Lois Lane #6 Tales from the Dark Mulitverse: Blackest Night Batman: Last Knight on Earth #2 Batman: Last Knight on Earth #3 |
