gonna be todays purchases (comics ed) ongoing forever thread

[acapelli]

the hardcover is really nice

and i'd be pretty satisfied with a pedestrian viking crime story though

[Mandingo]

So the Eisners are happening.

Man, I loved Cap 601 but there's no way it's better than Ganges #3 or The Unwritten #5.

[acapelli]

that's the gene colan one right?

it was pretty fantastic

[Mandingo]

Yeah, it's the Gene Colan one. It is a great issue, but damn both Ganges & Unwritten were some next level shit.

[hey look]

so renner is gonna be hawkeye officially

[okl]

[Beyerstein]

Jeff Parker taking over Hulk from Loeb

[Beyerstein]

Red Hulk to join Bendis' Avengers

[SNC]

Yuck

[reversemigraine]

I realize it's from Friday, but yeah, Batman Inc. If Barry and Wally can do it, I'm all for Bruce and Dick doing it too.

[Beyerstein]

have we seen wally since the new title started?

[Beyerstein]

Brightest Day was pretty good this week

[j_brooks]

that pic of all the avengers totally made me feel like a kid

[reversemigraine]

Seriously. At this point, I just kinda want to see Hemsworth interact with those guys, not with Asgardians. And I'm still thrilled they actually followed through with Renner.

Really with Ruffalo was playing Pym instead of Banner, but whatever...

[Beyerstein]

will they include pym in the movie

[reversemigraine]

I dunno if a general audience needs two white-coat scientists with emotional issues.

[hey look]

i imagine pym will be a lesser character in the movie.

[smelts]

have we seen wally since the new title started?

i think i saw him on the cover of the new issue of Magog, hopefully his backup in Flash'll come soon


and yeah, Brightest Day was real good this week, hoping they didn't actually kill off Miss Martian though

[Beyerstein]

[endor holocaust]

Someone leak the Captain America footage.

[manvstrees]

i'm on phase III of zenith and it is just fantastic
it's not quite miracleman but it's up there

[hey look]

i bought Neil Young's Greendale yesterday and I bought the first Fantastic Four TP from Hickman. Both are so pretty.

Could not find Stuff of Legend: Jungle at any stores (tried 5) in the past week, and finally just ordered online as well as getting Jonah Hex #50, which is like the best comic issue of last year

[hey look]

Grab your sword and check your blood sugar: Writer Grant Morrison has informed Robot 6 exclusively that a feature film version of Joe the Barbarian is now in development with Thunder Road Pictures, producers of this year's Clash of the Titans remake. "Thunder Road just called me today and said we can officially announce it, so I'm quite happy about that," Morrison says, though he himself won't be writing the screenplay.

Launched in January, Joe the Barbarian is an eight-issue DC/Vertigo miniseries written by Morrison and illustrated by Sean Murphy. In its pages, a diabetic teenager named Joe is drawn into a fantasy world populated in part by his toys and his pet rat, where he discovers he is the long-prophesied "Dying Boy" who must save the world from the sinister King Death -- while in the real world, home alone and delirious from diabetic shock, he struggles to stay alive. A hardcover collection of the acclaimed series is slated for a February 2011 release.

This is the third Morrison movie project announced in as many days: Morrison is writing the independent film Sinatoro for director Adam Egypt Mortimer, while Warner Bros. is planning an animated adaptation of Morrison and Frank Quitely's Eisner Award-winning series All-Star Superman, written by Justice League Unlimited's Dwayne McDuffie.

[hey look]

also how have we not talked about the GL posters? The Mark Strong picture has sold me.

[DisposableGriot]

I'm starting to read Spawn for the first time. I'm going in cautiously optimistic.

[reversemigraine]

Strong looks good. Such a smart pick.

Love the way the yellow creeps into the logo on the Hector Hammond poster.

i'm on phase III of zenith and it is just fantastic
it's not quite miracleman but it's up there

I'm gonna have to reread these at a later date. I wasn't as impressed with zenith as you seem to be.

[Mandingo]

So if this WE3 absolute does have 10 new pages by Quietly then it might be the first one i buy. I'm hoping that they price it at like 50 bucks or something. I'm a goddamn whore for Quietly.

I still want a trade of the Greens or a cheapo oneshot or something.
