Spike ,'Get It Done'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
I need to read that at some point. I read a FCBD issue once and had no idea what the hell was going on, but obvs I should give the first TPB a try.
I'm almost done with the Brubaker run of Captain America. I'm reading Man Out of Time and Truth: Red, White, and Black afterward, and then Grant Morrison's Animal Man.
I picked up the Rat Queens trade this week. Looking forward to checking that one out.
Everyone's reading Sex Criminals, right? It's amazing.

Amazon tells me that the TPB is out on the 29th. I'll check it out then.
Cool! It's out in comic book stores now, though. Except mine because Diamond didn't ship it because apparently that happens all the time.
I wonder whether publishers look at first-week sales for both comic book stores and traditional bookstores separately, since the former get the book first but many people wait a couple weeks for the Amazon release. I assume the NYT Bestseller list goes off the latter release date.
Another Batman 75th anniversary short, this one Batman Beyond style: [link]

Apparently Deadpool is married to a succubus (the woman in the video with him) in the comics now. Huh.
Also, the Jubilee with sparklers is kind of brilliant.
I am not linking to Bleeding Cool because they chose to use Halle Berry in their article, but it seems that there is going to be a Storm series in July.
I've heard that the solo women's titles at Marvel are all really good right now, and Elektra is super good. Any opinions?
I can only personally speak to Ms. Marvel, which is awesome. But I've heard good things about Captain Marvel and Elektra.
Not sure what this person's point is: XX-Men: The Failures of Brian Wood’s All-Woman X-Team
Captain Marvel is wonderful. It got me back into regularly reading comics after a ~20 year hiatus (well, Hawkeye helped.). The lead character is awesome, with interesting flaws. There's an engaging set of supporting characters. The fandom is, as far as I've seen, low on crazy. I'd reccomend starting at the beginning of Kelly Sue Deconnick's run. [link]
I will give that a look too, Calli. When Comixology starts working right, that is.
