Marvel Unlimited Immortal X-Men #2 X-Men Red #2 Eternals #12 Wolverine #21 X-Force #28 DC Universe Infinite Justice League 72 Nightwing 89 The Flash 779 Hoopla Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter - Adapted & Illustrated by Darwyn Cooke ------------------------------------------------------ Edit: Removed the three comics listed under MU that didn’t release this week after all. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Perry on August 23, 2022, 12:46:42 PM Edit: Removed the three comics listed under MU that didn’t release this week after all. Yep, you have to wait until Sunday midnight or Monday morning to make your Marvel list. It is just impossible for a person, a company, a major conglomerate of thousands upon thousands of people, to provide a list (of their own items) at anytime prior to the day of release. It isn't as if they know months in advance what the books will be, please, that is a silly thought. You're just asking far too much. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Perry on August 24, 2022, 01:35:55 PM DCI Nightwing #89 MU Immortal X-Men #2 X-Men Red #3 Eternals #12 Thor #25 Fantastic Four #43 Maestro: War and Pax #1 Maestro: War and Pax #2 Maestro: War and Pax #3 Maestro: War and Pax #4 Maestro: War and Pax #5 Hulk vs. Thor: Banner War Alpha Daredevil v6 #17 Other B.P.R.D Plague of Frogs v2 Omnibus - Remaining issues- - War on Frogs #3 - Epilogue Promethee 13:13 #2 ************************************ Nightwing - Still an amazingly well written title, but deep in the night (or early as fuck in the morning) my crazy brain became stuck on two VERY minor points of contention early in the issue that I found frustrating and that almost took over my enjoyment. Luckily enough the writing, the art, the character(s) are so damn good that the issue hung in and was still delightful. My minor issues - Immortal X-Men - I did like this issue. I truly did, but I am thinking I am no longer an X-Men guy. The violence that passes as the norm is... not troubling to me but does feel like certain characters should be more... troubled by it? Kinda? I don't know. I will see hoe X-Red hits me and go from there. FF - Love the idea, well I like the idea, but still too "Slotty" for me. Two or three more issue before the change and my plan was to stay on for the end of Slott's run, but... I don't think I will make it. BPRD - War on Frogs - Really enjoyed this omni. The team starts to be a team, the threat is palatable as a threat and there is characteristics to the characters that I find both enjoyable and not... which is a good thing. Really scared, time wise (as I came close to not finishing this 430 or so page tome in time), about adding the third omni to the borrow list, but I don't think I can hold off for long Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Gay Titan on August 24, 2022, 09:00:18 PM FF - Love the idea, well I like the idea, but still too "Slotty" for me. Two or three more issue before the change and my plan was to stay on for the end of Slott's run, but... I don't think I will make it. Sadly, this series ended today and we are getting a new #1. Ugh. It's like Spider-man all over again. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Perry on August 24, 2022, 09:43:42 PM FF... And I look forward to it. ;D Talked a few days ago about the new writer and his idea's and I am hopeful!!

X-Men Red #2 Eternals #12 Wolverine #21 X-Force #28 DC Universe Infinite Justice League 72 Nightwing 89 The Flash 779 Hoopla Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter - Adapted & Illustrated by Darwyn Cooke ------------------------------------------------------ Immortal X-Men #2 - Now I remember what I hated about Gillen’s original X-Men run. His writing of Sinister. It was terrible back then and still not my cup of tea. But his doing a good job with Hope and Destiny. That makes up for it. X-Men Red #2 - I was enjoying the first half of this comic with Vulcan, Cable, and Brand but the second half when Storm, Sunspot, Magneto, and crew showed up it was much less enjoyable. Still not sure if I’m on board for the long haul or not. But I will get the next issue. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Jeff on August 26, 2022, 04:21:54 AM Marvel Unlimited
X-Men Red #2 Wolverine #21 X-Force #28 DC Universe Infinite The Flash 779 Hoopla Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter - Adapted & Illustrated by Darwyn Cooke ------------------------------------------------------ Eternals #12 - Good wrap up to the Thanos arc. The crossover with the X-Men is next! Justice League 72 - Crossover with Justice League Dark! My only complaint it that this artist can NOT draw Detective Chimp worth a flip. Otherwise - I like that the JL Dark team is the focus in this issue. Finally a whole issue with them! Nightwing 89 - Ugh. I'm not going to like this arc. I just can't stand the aged up Jon Kent. And now he's buddy's with Nightwing? That's fine I guess but I miss the Jon/Damien team ups. Bendis ruined this character for me. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Jimmy T on August 26, 2022, 09:46:55 PM I BOUGHT Genis-Vell Captain Marvel #2!!! I love buying my good ol' buddy!
It's $4.21 right off the shelf!! :o Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Gay Titan on August 27, 2022, 10:00:36 AM I BOUGHT Genis-Vell Captain Marvel #2!!! I love buying my good ol' buddy! It's $4.21 right off the shelf!! :o YAY!!! I flipped through it but it willl be on my MU list eventually. I picked up: Harley Quinn #21 Batman White Knight Presents: Red Hood #2 Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: The Barking Shark on August 28, 2022, 01:54:34 PM Genis-Vell Captain Marvel #2
Public Domain #3 Have both issues of CM, but haven't read them yet. Public Domain is really damn good, anyone here reading it? Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Perry on August 28, 2022, 03:15:54 PM Public Domain is really damn good, anyone here reading it? Not me, no physical copies for me. Just waiting for Hoopla to get it. Hopefully they will. I can wait... I can wait.... :D Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Perry on August 28, 2022, 03:26:26 PM DCI Nightwing #89 MU Immortal X-Men #2 X-Men Red #3 Eternals #12 Thor #25 Fantastic Four #43 Maestro: War and Pax #1 Maestro: War and Pax #2 Maestro: War and Pax #3 Maestro: War and Pax #4 Maestro: War and Pax #5 Hulk vs. Thor: Banner War Alpha Daredevil v6 #17 Other B.P.R.D Plague of Frogs v2 Omnibus - Remaining issues- - War on Frogs #3 - Epilogue Promethee 13:13 #2 ************************************ Promethee 13:13 - This tense sci-fi prequel has me hooked. Never read the Promethee series by Bec, but have always wanted to try. This has me wanting to find it and dive-in as soon as I get through this (On Hoopla? I will find out!). Good stuff by Andy Diggle and artist Shawn Martinbrough who, I guess, reunite from their Thief of Thieves days. I never read that but I think Jeff did, yeah? Eternals - Yep, as we all figured, The X-Men are who we THOUGHT they were! (heehee, old Dennis Green reference for you NFL fans!) I am pretty, pretty, pretty excited for A.X.E (Yes, I also threw in a Larry David reference!) :D Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Jeff on August 29, 2022, 03:42:41 AM Good stuff by Andy Diggle and artist Shawn Martinbrough who, I guess, reunite from their Thief of Thieves days. I never read that but I think Jeff did, yeah? Correct! Thief of Thieves was good. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, August 22, 2022 Post by: Jeff on August 29, 2022, 03:46:08 AM Marvel Unlimited
