I figured it would be nice to get a thread up for questions and comments that people may think don’t deserve their own thread.

  • What are you reading?
  • What did you recently read that was good?
  • What did you recently read that was bad?
  • Do you have recommendations?

I just got done with Walking Dead (I know) and I couldn’t help but enjoy the preview of Murder Falcon in the back of an issue. It’s a story about a guy who gets the power to summon a giant muscly falcon with the power of playing metal. It’s surprisingly heartfelt and bittersweet and it only runs for 8 issues so you can knock it out in a day if you really want to.

I also really like the new Ultimate Spider-Man stuff they’re doing. It’s nice to see Peter happy but I can’t shake the feeling that they’re gonna ruin his life very soon. Honestly I’m happy when Marble does anything that isn’t the same thing they’ve been doing for 30 years. Check out Ultimate X-Men as well if you like capeshit type stuff.

    i just finished the boys. i fully considered stopping about halfway through and then i thought about the time i spent reading it already and decided to go through with it. it’s engaging and keeps your attention but there were multiple points at which i was like “dude, just go write about something you like”. sucks that the show went full lib because it was doing everything better than the comic

    I’ve been going through Marvel’s stories from Avengers Disassembled onwards, just finished Civil War and Planet Hulk. Civil War sucks ass! Planet Hulk kicks ass! Someone should kill Tony Stark and Reed Richards.

    i mostly have been keeping up with the end of Krakoa, its sucks sadly i know they had to rush it since marvel cut their time to end the era from 1 year to 6 months duggan is not very good, thankfully it will all be over soon and gail simone will write uncanny x-men

    i really liked ultimate x-men 1 i like how mutants seems to be more supernatural, i have not really read much about the new ultimate universe. i also like the current birds of prey run
