I do wanna jump into that new Absolute Batman annual.
There are just too many X-Men characters I don't care about. Every creator comes up with their own that they push hoping they come up with the next Deadpool and they are just dumb. Just give me the 80's characters.

I finished the first three volumes of Void Rivals, really liked it. Vol 4 is out next month, so I’ll wait for that, then catch up on individual issues.

I’m now turning to the X-Men Fatal Attractions omnibus. This was the first real big comic event that I can remember buying individual issues of, so I hope it’ll be fun to return to it.

His Thor run is top 3 for me. He could do no wrong with those characters. Beta Ray Bill and Stormbreaker (the real ones) are the coolest things just about ever.

What do you all use to keep track of the comics you have and read? I downloaded Comic Geeks today and feel like it’s got all the features I want, including the ability to follow series and get notifications for when new issues are coming out. Are there other apps out there I should try before loading all of my stuff into this one?

Yeah trying to get into some currently running series, but I’m horrible keeping up with the schedules. Apparently you can have this app send you an email every Tuesday telling you what’s coming out on your watchlist the next day.

I’ve tried to set up a spreadsheet a long time ago to catalogue everything I have but sucked at updating it and haven’t tried anything since. It seems like it would take me forever to do it now. I’ve got between 40 and 50 long boxes plus a huge assortment of TPBs and hardcovers.

Can't imagine Netflix has a lot of interest in being a print company. Say goodbye to floppies DC fans.

I cant imagine them closing DC. It would be a travesty.

They won't close DC its a pipeline for stories they can exploit but I wouldn't be surprised if they go all digital. I'm not even sure that's a bad idea just kinda sad. The Stranger Things comic is licensed out. They don't seem to have interest in producing anything physical themselves. It'll be a few years anyways but its coming.

I guess most of the regular maybe can go digital but if they dont Press anything they are just crazy

Its D.C. Comics; they still sell a ton of stuff.

Beat me to it ;) Taking a bit of a break from Bats.

Midway through Vampirella: Crimson Chronicles v02, really wanted some more B&W art, enjoying it so far.

I started Hush and so far its good. I kinda like how they use the villains. Do you guys like Jim Lee´s style? Sometimes i love his work, sometimes its a bit off to me.
