I think Brubaker is taking a break from Marvel to focus on his creator owned stuff. Hopefully, he will come back. I'm really enjoying Fatale, though.

You don't have to read Countdown in order to understand Final Crisis. You might even be better off not reading it. But if you do want to read it, I'd read it before Final Crisis. Reading things in the order they came out is usually a good idea. Another series that lead up to Final Crisis was the De...

So, in our podcast, my brother, Don, and I have been reading through the major recent events of the DC universe. We started with Identity Crisis, read the four miniseries of countdown to infinite crisis (Day of Vengeance, Villains United, ect), Infinite Crisis, and now we have just finished 52. Don ...

My main fear is that the damage has already been done. Although there are exceptions, many people don't start buying more when prices go down. Especially, if someone just dropped a title a few months ago and is not particularly missing it. People tend to be creatures of habit.

It's tempting..but $50, even if it's an amazing deal, is a bit to spend on a book you don't know if you'll like. I guess perhaps I'll try to pick some up at NYCC this week, and if I'm hooked, then try to latch onto the big HC (it was in last month's DCBS. how long does DCBS keep their prices on upc...

Is there a big difference in the quality of writing/art between, say, volumes 1-7, and volume 12? I'm tempted to buy that big 7 tpb omnibus that's in the Sept. previews for $50 - but I'm a bit hesitant b/c I don't know if I'll like it - especially if the book improves over time, and the 1st 7 tpb's...

I've heard about this book for years, but never tried it out until I got the $1 first issue from Dark Horse (or whomever publishes it, I forget). I thought it was OK, but didn't really see anything that blew me away. I certainly wasn't motivated to run out to check more out (but I wouldn't count th...

I got 6, but it was pretty tough. Good quiz, Bob.

I got 42.

I gave it a try, but I didn't do so hot. Missed a couple of obvious ones like Scorpion and Electro.

Ditto, where can we get a copy if we're not lucky enough to be at NYCC?
Think it will be offered through Diamond or maybe digitally?
That art looks REALLY cool. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, ditto what Bob and John said. The at first glance simplicity of the art hides the subtle genius of Usagi Yojimbo. Realizing how few readers this book actually has, it makes me wonder how this work will be viewed in 25 or 30 years. Will it just fade into obscurity, or will it one day get its due.

I thought They had green lit another Tom Strong mini. Does anyone know the status of that or where it might be published?

I was going to try to submit 3 things this month: Creature Tech OGN from Image on page 183 Stardrop Volume 1 GN from I Box Publishing on page 294 Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Volume 1 GN on page 310 Let me know if anyone else would like to talk about these because I can always pick something...
