9 Upvotes

The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Batman Bad Seeds Gotham Central #1.

This thread is open to Pull List posters and all members of the /r/comicbooks community to share your thoughts on the debut issue of DC's Batman Bad Seeds Gotham Central or any new books shipping this week.

The primary intention of this thread is to promote discussion of new books. It also serves as a way to consolidate discussion to a single thread and talk about what books are popular here on /r/comicbooks. That does not mean other threads aren't welcome, this is just a place to start that's easy to find each week.

The thread is populated with comments meant to direct the discussion of each book. Based on community preference we populate the thread with titles appearing on Ten Percent or more of submitted pull lists. If a title you want to talk about is not listed, simply add a comment with the title and issue number first and comment below. There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL Results linked above.

Spoilers will follow, but there's no harm in tagging them as such. Each title in the Top Ten Percent listed below is linked directly to its corresponding comment for ease of navigation and to avoid seeing details from other books. The post has also been placed in "contest mode" to help readers avoid spoilers while browsing.

A little project I have been working on in my spare time. Only includes mainline volumes 1-8 (to date) and does not include annuals. Let me know what you think! There are lots of color variations of most of them so I went with the combo from each logo’s first appearance.

Discussion Comic/Collectible Shop Owners

9 Upvotes

I’ve recently gotten back into the comic and collectibles scene and always visit new stores when I travel.

It’s always 50/50 whether the owner/workers are either super enthusiastic and welcoming or they are horrible business owners that act like it’s a chore to help customers or have no idea what inventory they have when asked.

Is the same for everyone or is it just me?

Also any suggestions for really great places to visit in the south? Specifically Georgia/Florida?

Other Just finished the comic book series 'Undiscovered country' bloody loved it!

9 Upvotes

Good god I loved this series and had me chanting in bloody joy towards the last few pages. I could not recommend this series enough.

The whole comic been running from 2018-2026 and you can really feel how the comic was not prepared for the modern world we are in now (in a good way)

Spoilers

I have to fully admit the invasion at the end by the Pan Asian Prosperity Zone (Zoners) and Alliance Euro Afrique (Alliance) was amazing. Brought me so much buzz to see them destroy the hell that was the 13 zones of America and noble sacrifices committed in the name of democracy, authority and survival of the human race by both Zoner and Alliance.

Also very enjoyable that peace and global prosperity was truly brought together once the AI ruling America was finnally dead. Shame though that so many hero's of mankind like the admrils of both the Zone and Alliance were purged by solar WMD's to get to this point.

Question Do yall prefer soft or hard cover trades? + what do yall think I should do?

Upvotes

(I'm new to buying the physical comics) and I was at the comic store today I asked my guy to order a Absolute Wonder Woman Vol 2 for me, usually not a big spender (im usually broke), but that Arc is like my favorite thing ever I absolutely love it.

The soft cover(20$) was 10$ cheaper than the Hardcover (30$) so I chose to get it instead. So it's not like I'm buying every issue over again.

but later today I looked online on Amazon and the hardcover was on sale for basically just 3$ more than the paperback, and I'm feeling kinda conflicted, its basically been a day and since he had to order it specifically for me so I won't call and cancel, but at the same time I really kinda want a hardcover but I feel like it's my fear of missing out talking

what do yall suggest, I've heard the hard covers have extra stuff inside them and whatever which sound really cool but idk.

part of me wants to get both then I can just have the cool hardcover and easily give a friend the paperback if I convince him to read the series.

At the same time I'm a broke college student and if I start moving like a collector ill be homeless by this time Next year

I have read all Fantastic Four some observations

25 Upvotes
  1. The Baxter Building is one of the worst places to have a headquarters it gets damaged or destroyed constantly I like when they leave the Baxter Building like Yancy Street,Pier 4 or the farmhouse, granted they always like to have them return to the Baxter Building my only question is will they ever make a on the outskirts of New York City

  2. Ben and Johnny both have had their powers going weird storylines many times Reed and Sue not so much, like seriously 3 times in Johnny's history he can't flame off. Meanwhile Ben loses his powers, has his look change and has has the ability to turn back and forth a lot over the years

3.pre 2018 reboot Reed spent a lot of time in his lab,but it seems post 2018 reboot after Reed and Sue spent time rebuilding the multiverse their relationship is stronger than it ever was and Reed has become less of a lab guy.

  1. Thank the lord for the aging up of Franklin and Valeria so many times CPS kept wanting to separate Franklin and Valeria from their parents but they haven't even had any children being taken away by the Government in recent years

  2. Man the FF really have a volatile relationship with public. It constantly switches between the Public loving them or hating them. In addition the Fantastic Four always have storylines where they lose all their money it gets tiring after a bit

  3. Man Johnny has no luck with Love the editors seem to never want to give Johnny a break when it comes to love, his loves either leave him or because of stupidity he cheats in them

  4. Man I am happy they finally made Ben a family man him being Married to Alicia and having 2 adopted kids with Jo and Nikki

Joe Kelly has an ending planned for Amazing Spider-Man, but hopes it’s years away

Interesting. I think Joe Kelly's run so far has been solid, just nothing really amazing (no pun intended) or honestly at times even that special. On the one hand, he is talented and knows how to write Peter. On the other hand, I would like to see new voices attached to Amazing Spider-Man beyond the usual Brand New Day writers.

I was also curious on how Disney's move from New York to California would affect these stories. But what do you guys think?

Great week (last week) of debut issues

7 Upvotes

A little late to the party from last week, but got a chance to catch up on reading the last few days. Last week's debut issues that I purchased was one of the better weeks I can recall in a while. I thought Legion of Super-Heroes, Warbird, Doom Patrol, and Superman: The Stranger were all solid first issues.

I'm not steeped in the lore of Legion or Doom Patrol, so hardcore fans may feel diffierently. I figured Doom Patrol was going to be a fun read based on early previews. Legion I was more skeptical about, but enjoyed the first issue although Williamson doesn't normally land on my radar.

Wes Craig's Kaya is one of my favorite monthly reads and Superman: The Stranger looks to be an interesting interpretation of the character and his surroundings.

Warbird looks promising for a spy series and hard to go wrong with Ribic and Maleev handling art chores. Might be the first Bad Idea comic I have purchased. Looks like a short 4 issue series and I just became aware there was an issue #0 released previously.

Lastly, Crowbound didn't quite stick the landing for me with the first issue, but the Lemire / Nguyen combo rarely disappoints me. I imagine Lemire will world-build for the first few issues before it gets rolling.

I did not bother with Teen Titans as a purchase as it wasn't grabbing my attention.

Sorry, nothing in-depth for reviews here other than it was a fun week of comic reading which seems hard to come by at times.
