@SaoirseRonanTheAccuser:disqus I'm liking your posts just because your name is tight, and I respect you for not trying to go obscure and being "SaoirseRonanFrankMillersEpicScienceFictionMasterpiece."

Also, I would kill to get Marcos Martin interiors on a book again. I have yet to read his collaboration with BKV, though.

Yeah, where's he been? I've only seen him on covers (incredibly gorgeous covers, but still covers nonetheless) in the past few months.

Nice! I like Samnee, but Rodriguez's faces are just so much more expressive.

Bendis' Daredevil can stand side-by-side with Frank Miller's as far as I'm concerned.

What did everyone read this week?

As for this issue itself, I was worried Waid was going to get up on the soapbox with the
references to Trayvon Martin, but it was merely a hook to hang the
action on. I have no problem with using a superhero comic to address
real events or social issues, but it'd feel out-of-place in Waid's more upbeat,

This was an excellent issue, but I'd like it if they gave Javier Rodriguez another crack at contributing pencils. Issues 28 and 29 were incredible, particularly the sequence in 28 where he shows Matt getting his shit together after vomiting from the smell of Foggy's chemo meds. If we could get Samnee and him rotating,

I'm sure Grant Morrison would have much to tell us about the abortion ouroboros.

Perhaps he wanted to save his omlette-cooking for that abortion in Spider-man 3.

@TaumpyTearrs:disqus Yeah, I think Prophet might be more of a trade read even though I've converted to digital. It seems like the type of book where you need a physical object in front of you.

Indeed. Sava is probably the only comic reviewer whose taste I trust without question.

Ex Machina's great. Final issue is a real gut-punch. It's probably my favorite Vaughn story I've read so far (including Saga, though that's not finished yet, and I haven't read Y The Last Man beyond issue 10.)

Yeah, totally don't understand why you're acting like this. I love and respect the people who post at the AVClub about comics and have a lot of regard for their tastes and opinions, whether its superheroes, crime, science fiction, or whatever. This is a fun place to come and talk about comics, not sit around bragging

I read the first issue of Glory for free and liked it a lot. I'll admit that I enjoyed it more than the first issue of Prophet, just because Prophet felt like amazing, Heavy Metal-style visuals with not-much-else holding it together. I think I need to revisit Prophet sometime when I'm in the right mindset, and I'll

See above.

I don't understand why you're being so haughty about this. Every week
someone posts the "So what did you pick up this week?" thread. This week
I read Fantastic Four and Iron Man. Would you like me to travel back in
time a week and change what I read to suit your demands?

@avclub-1534b76d325a8f591b52d302e7181331:disqus Byrne was blacklisted from Marvel after Joe Quesada—in an attempt to cull the X-Men line—cancelled Byrne's X-Men: The Hidden Years. Byrne declared he'd never work for them again, though I'm pretty sure they didn't want him after all of the shit he talked on his message

I read up until the one-shot "Times Past" stories. Answers were coming, but not quickly enough to keep me reading regularly.

I was into Fatale, but it wasn't giving answers quickly enough for me to follow month-to-month. I'll wait for 99 cent sales to read large swaths of the series at-a-clip.
