Marvel Unlimited, player. It's ALWAYS available to me.

Worth reading? I'm hesitant to buy any DC (New52 or otherwise) these days. Which sucks, because I miss reading Batman. Does anybody have recommendations for an old run/trade I can get on Comixology?

AND THE JOKESNAKE DEVOURS ITS OWN TAIL.

Oh, yeah. That had me dying. Fraction still has some killer humor, so that's what's keeping me around. If I have to read another gag like "self-flagel-Kate-tion," I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Are you into Carey's other stuff? I found his X-Men pleasant enough and keep meaning to tackle X-Men: Legacy on Marvel Unlimited.

My only issue is that Fraction's writing of Kate makes him head too far in the "cutesy dialogue for the sake of cutesy dialogue" direction, so I'd prefer if our Kate exposure was a little more metered out.

It's always on my "I mean to read this list." I'd take advantage of the current Comixology sale, but there are other series on the list (Y The Last Man, Stray Bullets, G.I. Joe Classic) that take precedence.

They explain in the letter column. Since the issues are alternating between Clint (with David Aja art) and Kate (with Annie Wu art), Marvel thought it was best to put out the next Wu issue (#16) when Aja's #15 was late. They figured that—as they focus on different arcs—skipping an issue wouldn't affect reader

What did everyone read this week? I read…

I don't really remember that issue. The next time I remembered Ras appearing was in the Nightwing "Faces of Evil" issue, where he decided to make Dick his nemesis after Bruce's "death." Tomasi might have straight-up ignored Ras being in Arkham.

How's de la Torre's art? I loved his Thunderbolts and Daredevil work with Diggle, but was pretty underwhelmed by his Age of Apocalypse pencils.

Now that I know there's an end in sight, I'm probably going to cop the digital trade of the most recent Fatale arc when it drops. It typically comes out the same day as the hardcopy trade.

Also, I just remembered your aversion to spoilers and—therefore—apologize.

Yeah, that'd probably the main issue. Most people who read and hated it were probably reading Morrison's Batman as their only Batbook. If you read other books in the line, there's more going on to engage you.

Is Tradd Moore the only reason to pick up Ghost Rider, or am I missing something? I've noticed lots of people on here are excited for it.

I liked the first issue of ANXF and was very amused by the fact that Gambit was actually tolerable for once! PAD's habit of writing all characters with the same voice paid off.

It's rare that a comic makes me laugh out loud on the subway like a dickhead, but Q&W does. Besides that, Michael Kupperman's probably the only writer to get that reaction out of me.

I skipped the Frankencastle shit in Reminder's run, but even before that, Remender didn't have a handle on Frank's voice. HE TELLS FUCKING JOKES FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

Get there! That was what made the crossover awesome for me.

I thought he let her run away and we were supposed to infer she's in hiding somewhere for a future run?
