I haven't had a chance to read it yet (will this weekend) I'm sure the revelations are going to be quite stunning. I have to say the current editorial set up (minus the editorial tinkering at times) is quite good and leads to consistently interesting stories. Perhaps more titles should be run the way the Spidey title is done.

Re: Comic Book Fans....
Wow....
OK I finally got around to reading the latest ASM. I got to say the SHED arc is just disturbing on so many levels. I especially love the artwork in this issue as it evokes horror and dread without being over the top. The Lizard is indeed no longer just a B/B+ villain now. The cliffhanger to the issue just left me with chills.
I gotta say ASM is currently the most consistently well written book i'm reading these days.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

And no. They eventually come but they're delayed.
To me it's worth it as I can read what I don't have on the go. I pray they sync this someday with the iPhone or PSP.Comment

If you really like it then I suggest getting Dark Victory afterwards as its the sequel. It's not nearly as good and the storytelling device is virtually the same as in LH but it's still a good read IMO.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Comic Book Fans....
SpoilerOne of my favorite parts was when Joker steals the plane to gas Gotham in a attempt to help Batman. lol
Since some of the story involves Catman, When In Rome is a good read as well even though it doesn't involve Batman directly.Comment

But it does seem that the Super Soldier serum has given him much more of a huge boost.Comment

Re: Comic Book Fans....
Wow I gotta say the Grim Hunt storyline in ASM was amazing though the ending was a slight letdown but it effectively, if fantastically brought Kraven back into Spidey's world. I liked the whole spider family/web dynamic that was brought up. I think this was established during JMS' run on the book which I haven't read and I heard was quite controversial with the fanbase but I have to say Joe Kelly did a great job of using what was established to help propel the story.
Now we're heading into O.M.I.T. "sigh" Well if nothing else it should be an interesting read.
Anyone been reading Superman? Especially the latest issue. (#701) Really interesting stuff and I have to say the idea of keeping Supes grounded for an entire year to walk all over America and reconnecting with his adoptive planet is a great touch. I especially love the philosophical dialogues Supes has with the various people on the street in different situations. The centerpiece of the issue with the jumper was FANTASTIC! There's always a danger in this kind of philosophical and questioning type of storyline in the comics medium so I hope it doesn't get too overbearing and turns off the readers.
Other strong books IMO right now:
Batgirl
Justice League: Generation Lost
the rest of the batbooks except Gotham City Sirens and Streets of Gotham

Re: Comic Book Fans....
Not looking forward to OMIT. at all. I have a feeeling its just going to be a slap in the fans face of everything before OMD.
And on an absolutely side note. I saw the ending of X-Men second coming happening a mile away.....and i absolutely wish Greg Land dies in a fire with his damn tracing pencil.Last edited by LionsFanNJ; 07-16-2010, 10:20 PM.HELLO BROOKYLN.
