A few plot points in Old Man Logan annoyed me, but I still think "Wolverine in Unforgiven in post-apocalyptic future" is a great read.

That is so great!

Tough choice, but I'll go with my favourite from when I was a kid watching the 90s animated series: Beast.

Pretty much this. A good writer could do great things with this. Otherwise it'll be a total shit show.

Also MORE ANGST.

The only time I've watched a significant amount of any Let's Play was while I was struggling with the opening stages of XCOM: Enemy Within on Classic Ironman. My poor rookies were just getting destroyed by Thinmen until I took some time to watch a guy playing through the game, expaining his tactics at every step, both

At first glance a long-time X-man coming out as gay after 50 years of stories where he's been depicted as straight seems kinda iffy, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Bobby's never really been in a long-term relationship (and certainly not one that fans have latched onto like Colossus/Kitty,

What'd you nerds read this week?

It's sequenced in the middle of the Japanese version of the album. Great track, mesmerising in its length and flow.

GAROL

Can I get some love for 8 Diagrams over here? Solid group album, love that track 'Windmill'. 'Rushing Elephants' and 'The Heart Gently Weeps' too.

I'm gonna say She-Hulk, though I've not read much of her actual Avengers stuff, mostly solo titles.

I've only read Elegy but I kind of don't want to go any further since I know how things end (or rather, don't end).

I'll take your word for it!

I read it so long ago that I don't remember much about the plot, but I do remember being throroughly bored by 1602. I think you hit the nail on the head in saying that there just didn't feel like there was any reason for it to exist. I mean, it's super-heroes in Elizabethan times, and… that's pretty much it.

I feel like it's pretty obvious that the title is used knowingly. They're taking a term that has sexist connotations but flipping it so that it is empowering.

Seems like an obvious choice, yeah. Did they ever explain it? (I haven't been following much in the New 52.)

That's good to hear. I feel like it requires a bit of follow up, because at first glance it seems completely out of left field.

This week I read Sugar Skull by Charles Burns, which was a great third and final part of the series. SPOILERS FOLLOW: All the weird, nightmarish imagery starts to make thematic sense as we learn that our protagonist is basically just a useless shit who abandoned his pregnant girlfriend. Throughout the series Doug (and

Hellboy/Sabrina team-up?! I'm pretty much sold on just that one concept.
