Thats fucking awesome man. Nice one.

Guys what the fuck is happening in the DCU? Nightwing's identity has been revealed to the world and DC may kill him off or he just goes in disguise and becomes another character? And Harper Row is possibly this new Bat-family character?
I kinda like both of these possibilities.
What comics do I have to read for this Nightwing arc?

Forever Evil and the Justice League books. Nightwings main title is some weeks behind current continuity.

I've transitioned to nearly all Image in recent months.
My pull list: Invincible, Saga, East of West, Black Science, Jupiters legacy. I've cut ties with all DC from just feeling completely burnt out. I still pick up the Batman title because of Capulo's art. I'm down to one Marvel title, Uncanny Avengers, which I've really enjoyed so far. Any other Image readers here?

Saga I'm waiting till 25 or 30 issues in to start. I was reading East Of West monthly but it was so decompressed I decided to wait. Hickman is the type of writer that you have to read when his run is done. I read his Fantastic Four run in one shot and it was....well.....fantastic. I'm current on Jupiter's Legacy and I haven't gotten to Black Science but I'm going to give it a chance. Revival is one I tried for a while and lost interest. Pretty Deadly wasn't for me. I heard Sex is supposed to be really good but I'm not really into those types of comics.

[Kaius]

Saga is really, really good. Great, even.

[bada]

What do you think of Saga?

East of West is definitely hard to follow at first, but it feels epic. It's like a mix between every major sci-fi sub genre and a western.

Let me know what you think of the new Action Comics team. I dropped it after Grant Morrison left the book.

[bada]

Saga is super weird! It was expecting your traditional Sci-Fi Fantasy and Saga is about as far away from traditional as you can get! I like it. I've been enjoying Action Comics but I think I'm done with Green Lantern. It's just not the same. Tried the new X-Factor but it didn't do it for me. I might be done with Batman-Superman it just hasn't been very good. There rest of this weeks stuff was great.

this looks like a good thread for this - i thought it was cool...

[HardTI]

Kaius, if you haven't checked out Peter Panzerfaust I think you might like that a lot. We seem to have similar taste in comics at the moment.

I have read the first tpb (issues 1-6 I think?), and I absolutely loved it! I want to get caught up, but I'm already maxed out on my monthly pulls so it takes me a while to squeeze in the extra comics here and there.
For what it's worth, I think that rendition of the classic Peter Pan story would make a fantastic movie, animated or not.

that is cool. I had no idea there had been so many renditions of the Bat symbol.

All caught up on East Of West. Not sure why I found it so confusing before it all made sense this time. Can't wait for the next issue.

I thought it was confusing as all get out for the first couple issues. It's definitely starting to come together, while expanding the world as well. I think I have read somewhere Hickman had around 50 issues already planned out, so really we are just cracking the surface of this story I would think.

[bada]

It probably helped reading them all back to back. Usually with comics my confusion stems from trying to remember what the hell happened in the previous issue.

Apparently BBC is working on turning this into a tv series, which will be fantastic! Also they are going to do an animated digital comic of it too with Elijah Woods and Ron Pearlman doing the voice of Pan and "hook".
Pretty awesome to look forward to!

This sounds really cool!

IGN: You have your new series, which is Low. Go ahead and pitch it to me.

Remender: Sure. Low, the elevator pitch on it is that it's in the distant future, and the sun has begun its inevitable expansion to consume our solar system. Mankind has not found an inhabitable planet to move to, so while they're stalling out, while probes are searching the galaxy for another inhabitable home for mankind, humanity moves into giant, blast-shielded cities at the very, very depths of the ocean. Tens of thousands of years pass, and no probes come back with answers, and the cities begin to crumble. Mankind begins to fall into war, and things begin to go sideways. The end result is enough time passes that there's only two cities left -- a lot of pirates floating around from the remnants of the fallen cities -- but there are only these two cities left. Hope is pretty low. There's crime and drug abuse in the cities. The city where we start our story is sort of capitalistic run amok -- you know, bartering humans and things; it's gotten pretty ugly. This one woman there, Estelle, the mother of the family that we follow -- a family of hunters responsible for gathering food for the city -- she remains incredibly optimistic and spends every morning searching for probes with information. She's the last person doing it. Everybody else has resigned to the idea that we're done.

So what ends up happening is, one of these probes returns with a broken communicator and crashes on the surface with the location of an inhabitable world. But nobody's been on the surface of Earth in 30- or 40,000 years, and nobody has any idea what's up there. Even probes you send up to go to the top of the ocean get destroyed by any number of mutated life or pirates -- there's a lot of crazy shit up there. We've done a map of the levels of the ocean, and the first 25 issues are just getting through the layers of the ocean and what exists. It's so much fun to build that stuff. Then when you get to the surface itself, we've got all these f***ing nutty ideas about what's up there, mutated, and what life exists. So it's a story about one woman's optimism in the face of inevitable and true doom that we are looking at as a species, because eventually this will happen, albeit many millions of years from now. Her journey to find a new home for the remaining population of mankind who are mired in war and hopelessness.

HardTI I'm checking out Peter Panzerfaust this weekend. You and Kaius are getting me into all these weird books!
