The Comic Book Thread (spoilers)

If you like Hawkeye, go with Fraction's run on Iron Fist. Also, if you're not reading Superior Foes of Spider-Man, do that.

I've talked about this guy before. This is the guy who claims The Crow comic was based on/inspired by him. He uploaded this today. It's going over his whole claim.

So I decided to try and read Justice League 3000, because it sounded like a neat idea.

3 issues in and I think it might be the worst comic I've ever read. I think this is the first time I'm noticing printing mistakes. It's a total WTF case.

I feel like if you like Saga you'd like Chew. Like Saga, it's funny and like Saga it's also pretty twisted and has a habit of killing off characters suddenly.

I read the first trade of Chew and then totally forgot about it. Might have to give it another look. Saga is one of my fave books.

I think you'd like Invincible and the new Nova series. They remind me of Spider-Man's early days (Invincible not so much anymore, but it's still an incredible read).

Christopher reads Invincible so it would probably be easy to get into if I wanted. I read some of it and while it was good I was reading too many books at the time. Is Nova hard to follow if I've never read Marvel Cosmic stuff?

If you like Hawkeye, go with Fraction's run on Iron Fist. Also, if you're not reading Superior Foes of Spider-Man, do that.

I have the first issue of Superior Foes. It's really good! I'm tempted on Iron Fist. Have you read it all? They have the whole thing as a set for cheap on Comixology

Nova's a whole new story. A few call backs to the previous run, but nothing that'd confuse you.

Found this while just googling around. It was made by James O'Barr and Jim Terry(He and Terry were co-artists on some newer Crow books). I would give my left nut for a Crow/Batman story. Set it in it's own universe, have this version of Eric be from Gotham, connect Joker to his and Shelly's deaths and you could have something cool. Well as long as it doesn't feature the Frankenstein looking, gun toting Batman O'Barr wanted to do for DC.

Image put everything on sale that got nominated for Eisner Awards. Pretty much on every digital platform you ever heard of.

I like the reading and I'm a fan or pretty much anything he reads but I don't quite think it wormed into my head enough for him to become Spider-Man's voice in my head. I always hear 90's animated Spider-Man when I read.

That video clip made me realize that I have no idea where the voice I hear for The Thing comes from because it certainly isn't that.

I still haven't bought the last superior spider yet. Price tag is killing it for me

[Your Mom]

If you use Comixology check your account. There should be a free $5 gift card in there. With that and the special I got Superior Foes of Spider-Man 2-6 for free

[Maxx]

Yay, wonderful books!

So after listening to Scott Snyder on Fatman on Batman and enjoying it, I've read through Court of Owls, which I liked, but thought the ending was a bit dumb, and I'm onto Death of the Family, which I'm enjoying. I've got Zero Year lined up after that.

My question is, should I go back and read the pre-Snyder stuff? I generally don't enjoy Grant Morrison, and I'm not sure how involved he is in things like Battle for the Cowl and the Grayson-as-Batman stuff.

Thoughts?

[Your Mom]

I read the Morrison stuff and had no idea what was going on half the time

[GoGo Yubari]

The only good thing in Morrison's Batman was the Dick Grayson as Batman/Damien Wayne as Robin dynamic. Everything else is the same self-indulgent down the rabbit hole nonsense he's been writing for years

[TKz]

I am so glad that I'm not alone in finding Morrison to be lacking. I was so hyped to read the debut of Damien and it was so hard to get through.

[Benjamin]

If you're looking for more Scott Snyder goodness, the first three issues of Batman Eternal have been really fun.

[Skummy]

Morrison's an utter berk, could gladly never read another word he's written

[Benji]

I've never understood the hard on a lot of people have had for Morrison. He's about as tedious and by the numbers as I've ever read.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Was it Morrison who wrote Final Crisis? What a shitty, shitty mess that was.

[Your Mom]

Holy shit you guys! There is a Gamestop variant for Amazing Spidey 1 and I got one! They are going on Ebay for between $100-$250!!!! I'm rich!
