Come on guys, I was just making a lame joke.

[Andorion]

Has anyone here read the Injustice comics?

[JPK]

I just finished East of West: Vol 5. Damn, but this one kicked things up a couple notches.

Spoiler

The assassination attempt in The House of Mao was well handled on all fronts, and the art was spectacular. The full page of her nude, covered in the blood of her enemies, with the pieces of the broken katana. Holy shit.

I can't wait to see the fallout from President Archibald's plotting. Easily the wild card in this series.

John Freeman... is he bringing The Kingdom into the alliance between the PRA and the Nation?

Doma Lux. An undercover Widowmaker for the PRA!? Fucking awesome!

Finally, to top all of that off... New forms for the Horsemen are coming?

TL;DR I want vol 6 like yesterday!

So I'm taking this with a huge grain of salt, but Goodreads is showing a potential publication date of Oct 25th for Vol 6. I really really want this to be true.

Amazon.ca is saying Oct 19, Chapters/Indigo Nov 1, so it looks good.

SO GOOD.

Yet another addiction to lay at your feet. So much of my trp is entirely your fault. I hope you can bear this weighty responsibility.

Hey, has anyone come accross LAKE OF FIRE?


It is 1220 AD, and the gears of the Albigensian Crusade grind on. When an alien spacecraft infested with a horde of bloodthirsty predators crash-lands in the remote wilderness of the French Pyrenees, a small band of crusaders and a Cathar heretic are all that stand between God's Kingdom and Hell on Earth.




fun stuff.

I liked Lake of Fire quite a bit. And the artist of the book has done a number of Malazan character sketches on the Wiki.

http://malazan.wikia...gory:Matt_Smith

I'm also interested in checking out Oni's Night's Dominion, which looks to have a Darujhistan feel.

[QuickTidal]

DC REBIRTH titles that are telling solid stories so far:

JUSTICE LEAGUE is pretty solid as of issue #4 with a non-rogues-gallery enemy, HARLEY QUINN is up to #3 and it's basically the comedy action gross-out of Deadpool (written by Palmiotti and Conner who are aces at this sort of thing), TITANS is up to #4 and it's also enjoyable, but more for the "bringing Wally back into continuity and continue to explore what Dr. Manhattan has done to reality.

Also SAGA #37 (start of a whole new arc.....fuuuuuuuuuck! So good.)

Hey I was just admiring those new character sketches . . . they're pretty new yeah? Great Job Matt (if you're reading this). I think I've got Night's Dominion in my bag right now, might give it a read during lunch.

So far the only DC rebirth comic I'm still picking up is Aquaman (of all titles ). Night Wing was kinda neat, but really I'd just prefer to read more SHERIFF OF BABYLON.

I grabbed the first TP for Black Science after seeing someone mention it on here (QT I think?). The story and art are both absolutely top notch thus far. It took me a couple of issues to realize that Dean White was involved and that that was why it looked so familiar. I loved the team up of Remender and White on Uncanny X-Force and they're starting out strongly here again.

My question is: Does the quality remain this high?

Probably me, I don't think QT has read it yet.Yes, the quality is steady and the series is a amazeballs.

[QuickTidal]

I have not yet read BLACK SCIENCE. Me and Remender have a hiccup-y past.

I tried out Jackson Lanzing and Marcus To's JOYRIDE....which sings on SO many levels....story, art, writing, concept...and fails repeatedly on the believability scale...which makes what could be a great comic...merely meh. I'm so sad as it's such a home run in most categories...but when the writers can't be arsed to do even a modicum of research for their science fiction book...consider me unimpressed. I'm usually the guy who lets this stuff slide...but things happen repeatedly that pulled me out of the book. Starting with, the earth is surrounded by a sphere of material (to keep aliens out and earthlings in) that goes through the moon (with the dark side sticking out of the space side of the sphere)...let's start with the moon NEVER APPARENTLY ROTATING for one, and move to it being physically connected to a metal sphere for two (never mind that this goes against physics, human abilities ect.)...but yeah, it spins out of the believability scale from there...make of that what you will.

DC Rebirth update: The latest issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE finishes up the first arc solidly. I quite enjoyed this story, and the hooks that are there for the future of the tittle. Bryan Hitch does a decent job of refreshing the title. Meanwhile, HARLEY QUINN #5 (Palmiotti and Conner), what is usually a super fun, Deadpool-y funny title...falls flat on its ass with a lacklustre, beige as hell, boring ass standalone story. It was bad enough that if #6 doesn't shape it's game up, I'll drop the title. The latest issues of TITANS was fantastic as per usual, but then I can't get enough of that team...

Having not read the book I don't know how well they set up the idea of humanity being able to create such a sphere or the rest of the logistics, but I don't think it's unworkable on a theoretical basis? Assuming the sphere moves with the moon obviously.

I think it's one thing piled onto another and another in the believability scale that really threw me and not just the one thing. But I don't imagine that the moon can stop rotating (its own individual planetoid rotation, not the rotation circuit it makes around the earth)...like on a fundamental level, and if it was ever stopped by humans...there would be SEVERE to life shattering consequences to such a thing. Here it's just used as a throwaway notion to make our heroes be adventuring ne'er-do-wells, who circumvent the boringness of a non-space-faring earth culture to go adventuring. It's a really cheap way to basically make the visiting of space and its environs by a couple of teenagers...new and fresh. It's soured me.

Well you can't stop it rotating but you don't need to to have one-side-in, one-side-out. It's tidally locked so it does that already (ie it rotates at the same frequency it orbits).


Eta: I am of course ignoring that having a sphere of metal surrounding the entire Earth would presumably seriously fuck with the gravity anyway and also with, you know, sunlight...

It's early days, but Remender's SEVEN TO ETERNITY looks to be something special.

Yeah, not a bad spin - if a little repetitive at times.
