She has that effect on people.

Moms, am I right?

"In the wake of the tragedy, Jessie is left handcuffed, trapped, and alone, with nothing but a hungry stray dog and the voices in her head to keep her company."

That was one hell of a twist. I'm glad it had never been spoiled for me, too.

The coloring was beautiful.

I just read the first sixteen issues of Luke Cage, Hero for Hire a few weeks back on Marvel Unlimited. That Doom story was a blast!

Courting a lady definitely takes precedent over getting to the LCS. You have your priorities in order, my friend!

This sounds great!

I tracked down the old trade from the library. It doesn't much in the way of supplemental material, only a long introduction by Howard Chaykin. Which, now that I think of it, I forgot to read. I was planning to do so after reading the book. I'll have to do that now before I return my copy.

Same thing happened to me and was definitely the biggest negative about the book for me. I guess that's partly on Paul Smith for making so many characters look alike? Speaking of Smith, I'm a huge fan of his X-Men work but I wasn't that enamored with his work on The Golden Age.

It looks awesome, so I really want to get back to it. It's so hard finding time with all of the other stuff I have piled up to read, though. I need to make it a priority next time I use Unlimited, though.

I've seen Capullo's art for Reborn on his social media pages and it looks phenomenal. I'm not remotely into Millar though so I doubt i'll buy this book. Maybe I'll wait for a collected edition.

JSA: The Golden Age. I know a lot of you here are big fans, so feel free to reply with why you love it, I'd love to discuss. I enjoyed it and impressed with the way Robinson built tension over the course of the series and really did a wonderful job playing off old Golden Age archetypes and tropes.

When you "fire" it up, eh? I see what you did there.

That's a tough one, I'm sure there are several I could list but right now the first to pop into my head was an original printing in very good to near mint condition of God Loves, Man Kills, which I got for ten bucks.

I started the Perez Busiek Avengers on MU last year but only got an issue or so. It was dense and a slow read, as you say. I liked it a lot and need to get back to it at some point. How was their entire run? I like having an idea about how many issues I'm committing to, haha.

You're not going to believe this but I'm reading that book right now! I write for Sequart, I have about 18 articles, essays, and reviews that I've done for them. I was emailing with the editor the other day and said hey I saw this book is out, it looks great. So he sent me a free PDF! And told me he'd happily send…

Fuuuuuuck yes, that's so gut wrenching.

Thanks!
