I can't remember....who was the big Jason Todd fan? The Rebirth Redhood and the Outlaws has been really enjoyable. The Dark Trinity concept is fun.

Assuming you mean Marvel Unlimited? I believe its 6 months behind so if you'll have to wait for new releases. I guess it has a really extensive back collection. Pretty sure it's $70 a year.

:wave:
I read the first few issues and am waiting for quite a few more before I dive in. I don't like the month wait.
I'm pretty happy to hear you're liking it! Sounds like it's resonating with most that have tried the new run.
How's Bizarro? I heard it's a different take on him.

They are sort of doing a combination of the New 52 Bizarro and the classic version. It's good.

The Old Man Logan series is my only X-Book now. It's good. Love the art. Same artist had a really good stretch on Green Arrow a few years back.

OK, technical question. I was thinking of getting my kid Marvel Unlimited for Christmas, but his only tablet is a Kindle Fire. There is no Marvel Unlimited app for the Kindle. Can you read the Marvel comic through the Comixology app if you have Marvel Unlimited?

How big is the tablet? My kids have fires and reading comics on them isn't that great. The screen is too small and you have to zoom around on each page. They pretty much gave up. I'd load some .cbr on there first and see how it looks to you before buying anything.

I read comics on their kindle all the time. It's a 7" screen. I use the feature that zooms into each frame. Never thought I needed more.

I usually set it so it shows the full page first and then when I swipe it goes frame by frame. Sometimes I read the whole page before remembering to swipe.

I read on my ipad which is the size of a comic so no zooming. I can't abide zooming. If it doesn't bother you thats great. Unfortunately I can't find anything that says yes to Marvel Unlimited on Kindles. Looks like a no.

Yeah, I came to that conclusion too. Someone has e-mailed me instructions for jailbreaking and installing the Marvel app on the Kindle. I've had bad experiences trying to do that on the Kindle Fires. Apps never looks as good or work as well. We'll see ... maybe for his birthday.

Writer: Greg? Pak

Artist: Greg? Land

Cover: Greg? Land

Release: 2017

Synopsis: There's a new Weapon X program in town and it's bigger and badder than ever, so Old Man Logan assembles a team full of big and bad people to take them on, including Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, Domino, and Warpath. Yup, both heroes and villains going on black-ops missions together to stop Weapon X from achieving their new goal: eradicating mutantkind.

"The powers and abilities of this new Weapon X threat are so terrifying that you need both heroes and villains teaming up to handle it. So get ready for a blockbuster thriller of a comic book with a brutal group of heroes and anti-heroes stretched to their limits in a battle for the survival of mutantkind. And of course, we’re going to have tons of fun as our heroes drive each other crazy along the way," Pak said.

Pak and Land are re-teaming after their Phoenix: Endsong mini-series in 2005.
