With nearly the whole season watched for those reviews too. Even more of an accomplishment!

Even the Office suffered whenever NBC gave it "super-sized" episodes starting in season 3. Mike Schur got it right when he made the decision to stick with Network TV and avoid the streaming services when it came time to pitch The Good Place. He's said in interviews that the restrictions that come with the network…

Master of None one week, Kimmy Schmidt the next, and then a new Brad Pitt movie? Daaaaamn.

Real life spoiler alert:

Great. More racially insensitive jokes about people's names. Woohoo.

It's actually a lot more similar to DCYou in that way, with all those books trying to cash in on a few definite successes (Batgirl / Ms. Marvel / Squirrel Girl) and then flooding the market with floppies that later face rapid cancellations because they didn't bother to actually hold for the bookstore market, which is…

I'm surprised that this cancellation hasn't been masked as yet another mini-series in disguise. A big component of Marvel's trigger-happy cancellation mindset is that there are a lot of stories are clearly mini-series that are being marketed as ongoings, which is leading to more cancellations on the ACTUAL ongoings…

=(

Have they announced any of the Legacy books or creative teams yet? I haven't heard any, outside of the Generations book. The recent X-Men ResurrXion launch has been like a Rebirth across a corner of the 616. I would love it if they could pull that off on a larger scale.

Oh that's a good one. I'd throw in Paul Dini's Zatanna series from before the New 52 as well. I've always wanted to read it but it's been out of print and I'm not interested in buying it digitally.

Following up on @mistersplendiferous:disqus 's thread about our most prized comics:

There was even a third book - Avengers World - that he co-wrote for the first few issues. The book seemed to only exist to flesh out the many endless side characters Hickman kept introducing.

Hahah, "misery porn" is a really easy way to describe DD runs apparently.

I thought the second half of the run with the move to SF - plus the cementing of Chris Samnee as permanent artist - was even stronger than the first. It was also a throwback to a previous time the book was set in that city.

Same. The first arc was fine but ran too long. The second arc was designed to be a series of connected standalone issues with a different artist and villain. Some of them were great and others were duds.

Sometimes the problem was that Hickman had TOO many good ideas. I really wanted to read all those stories that happened during the time jump before Times Runs Out, such as what was going on with Cyclops and the Phoenix Eggs. Plus Amadeus Cho joining the Illuminati.

I know this won't convince anyone because we can have our own tastes and opinions and that's fine. I love the dark version of DD and very much enjoyed Waid's retro approach based on how refreshing it was. The potential problem with Daredevil's book is that it can just become a miserable read that leaves you feeling…

Been sick as a dog lately and I haven't been able to take off time from work due to different commitments. On the plus side, I have a huge stack of books from the library and from FCBD that is almost overwhelming at this point to get through, but you can never complain about having too many comics.

Right now, I'd say Ultimate Spider-Man #1. It's the series that got me back into collecting comics and I missed out on the first 3 issues and regretted it for over a decade. I finally got a copy of #1 for quite a steal at a recent convention and I'm thrilled because its absence has been haunting me for years.

That really explains why Waid just isn't fitting in well with either the current Avengers or Champions books. Even his wonderful DD run felt like a charming throwback to the Silver Age. He hasn't demonstrated recently that his skill lies in pushing newer characters. Without the balance between nostalgia and modern…
