Polter, the Ultimate series are neatly TPBed up for you.
Just in case.
It's well done. Got me excited about X again.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cool, maybe I'll check it out sometime. I've heard great things about Ultimate Spidey, which I still haven't checked out, but I haven't heard any buzz about X, so.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
No Astonishment at my shop.
Bought No Man's Land 2, and The Long Halloween which got the big thumbs up from Goth Metal Boy behind the counter. (In his opinion it was the best BatFam TPB.) Also got Tales of the Vampires 5, and Teen Titans Go! (the animated companion) for Emmett, who was very pleased to receive it and devoured it avidly.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I read The Long Halloween recently, and I can't say it really did anything for me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
(In his opinion it was the best BatFam TPB.)
Gothboy is so wrong. It's not even the best Loeb. (That would be Dark Victory, but I think Loeb is better at emotional impact than powerful plotting.)

ka-shrug I have no opinion yet, but in continuity order this follows after Batman Year One doesn't it? Also I've always been interested in Harvey Dent's character.

Tep, did you re-read after the twist ending to see if that changed how you looked at the story? (I did, and it did, but I'm not sure if it was for the better or not.)

No, because by then I just wasn't invested in the story. My reaction was basically "Buh? Huh. Meh."

Check the Continuity Pages, but pretty much, I think.
My collection is a muddle of in and out of continuity stuff, thanks to Zero Hour and the mild dose of reset it provided. Full Circle, which I recall liking a lot, is out of continuity, for example. I should re-org the shelves to reflect that, come to think of it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Local comic shop has titles in alphabetical order as well. *shrugs*
Yeah, I can see why you had no problem getting help today, Kiba.
Picked up Astonishing and TotV5 today. Haven't read the latter yet.
AX seems alright for a setup issue. Really not grooving on Cyclops and Beast's new costumes, though. Not caring for Beast's look at all, to be honest. But that's an art issue rather than a writing issue.
Realized in reading it that I have absolutely no idea what's going on in the Marvel-verse these days.
Also, Emma mentions having "the best body money can buy" I'm assuming there was some surgery involved, then? Because my first reaction to her close up was that she looked "too perfect". and I realize a lot of that is simply a comic book thing, but it seemed even moreso there. And how did Jean die? And when?
