I betcha that's Tahmoh Penikett's hat she's wearing. When I met them both he was wearing that exact same hat.

The women of Battlestar Galactica.

So, what'd we all think of the new episode? I loved it, and I'm not generally too hot on the Sequid storyline. For people who have read the comic, please click here for my thoughts

JLA wave from McFarlane went up for preorder at BBTS. When I saw them Superman Blue had already sold out and John had just done the same, meaning I only got preorders in on Batman and Aquaman. I hope they get more stock in, I want a whole set, and an extra Superman Blue because I absolutely love that design. They no longer show items as Sold Out, but they remove them completely, so even their front-page ad for them is gone. You'd never know they'd been listed yet, which is a change I definitely don't like.

I feel the same way with Johns, he's generally a pretty safe bet. A horror feel? That sounds cool! I loved the moment in Blackest Night where Black Lantern Aquaman summoned dead great white sharks to kill Atlantean soldiers and Ocean Master or Black Manta, can't remember which. Anyway, cool moment. More of that kind of thing would be awesome.

Oh that's good, as while Johns is one of my favourite writers, I'm not exactly big on Aquaman (though I do like what little I've seen of Mera in Blackest Night and Brightest Day, and am looking forward to more of her, she's a great character under Johns) so I really hope this is the something special I've heard it talked up as. Hearing you say that really reassures me, as your opinion hasn't let me down yet.

I've got to stop doing this. Aquaman by Geoff Johns omnibus was on sale for $85 shipped from $180 plus shipping. I couldn't say no to that, so I bought a copy. No more purchases for me. This is getting ridiculous. Gah! I know next to nothing about the book though, other than I love both Johns and Reis, and I loved Mera during Blackest Night. I really thought she was going to be the next big thing. Still sad that never came to be.

Not entirely appropriate for this thread, but there's not really anywhere for it, and it deserves to be seen. Really good interview with Jake Lloyd's mother (kid Anakin from Episode 1). Goes into his whole life, his troubles with the law and his medical issues. Absolutely worth reading. https://scrippsnews.com/stories/the-real-life-saga-of-star-wars-child-actor-jake-lloyd/

In case you can't read the image, here it is.

A book I was not expecting, this book is apparently doing well month-in, month-out. Not the top seller, but up there. It's Green Lantern. I thought it's day was over, but apparently not, the new run has generated some good buzz at my store.

Tales Of The Green Lantern Corps Annual #3. I wanted to read this for Alan Moore's story about Rot Lop Fan. It was great, very inventive. I can see why his early work was blowing minds, this is a really creative piece. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns omnibus volume 2. Here we go, now we're sinking our teeth into it. The meat of the run, Blackest Night. The story's still got it, and it was a pleasure to read, even for someone whose been well and truly over zombie content for the last decade. This is Johns at his best. That takes me up to 585 books read for the year so far. Next up: Green Lantern by Johns volume 3, naturally! This is all-new material for me, so I'm psyched for it. Will my choice to drop the book after Blackest Night back in the day be vindicated, or will this omnibus prove me wrong and show me what an insufficiently_thoughtful_person I was? I suspect it'll be the latter, but we'll see.

Supes has definitely torn something doing this. "Bruce, was Bane... your chiropractor?"

C'mon, that's worse than any Liefeld.

Two new GIJOE miniseries set to come out starting in June! Scarlett and Destro, and yep, they're part of the EU. Here's the press release, including the creative teams. https://imagecomics.com/press-releases/yo-joe-new-g-i-joe-miniseries-scarlett-and-destro-coming-from-skybound-image-hasbro

I'd personally rank the Skybound books from top to bottom as: Transformers, Duke, Cobra Commander, Void Rivals. Obviously that's just my opinion and it's going to differ wildly depending on who you ask, but I really rate Duke in particular. Love the art style, too. Transformers did have one issue that didn't hit for me, #3, but when read as part of the whole, it's okay. Just one of those things.

Obviously my opinion isn't any good, but I'm enjoying the GIJOE books, and I'm not really a fan of GIJOE. And I hope you've seen the last of the hospital for a long, long time!

Have we done this one? What's the answer? It's a very easy one, perfect for us lunkheads.

I can get the DCeased deluxe edition for a good price at the moment. Is it worth it? I know absolutely nothing about it, other than I think it's their version of Marvel Zombies, basically. Can someone please give me some info and a yes/no recommendation before I drop $60?

Very dangerous. Considered the equivalent of kissing a cobra. Not even once.
