Ha! yeah....since Darkseid war? The button? 5 years?

Im currently going through City Of Bane too. Finishing it. I feel there is a good story but so fucking messy...the need to put all this characters, all this crossovers...

Okei i finished City of Bane and went through everything thats happening until Joker War. I kinda liked how they have been using the classic enemies. Catwoman is great here.

do you use the DC app?

i like that they have a mix of all their media in one place but i feel like marvel unlimited is miles ahead as far as comic reading goes

I've never tried DC but I do love Marvel Unlimited's guided view.

marvel i read a bit of everything. went back and read Marvels again, man that book was amazing


doone, it is just so well ordered compared to DC. so much easier to find the names of books (although with marvel i forget what years the story lines are from so i have to hunt through the years/decades)

Outside of Thor I've pretty much given up on Marvel. I was trying to stick with X-Men but it feels like forever since they had an issue. I figure I'll give the EMPYRE event a chance.

Have you read walts run of Thor from mid/late 80s? I’d highly recommend it

Probably cheaper to get the omnibus at this point.

One of my favorite runs of any comic ever.

I got the Before Watchmen Omnibus today. This sucker is bigger than a phone book! This is the largest graphic novel that I own. By far.

Interesting times at DC Comics. I guess they are cutting 20-25% of their titles. Fired a ton of staff. They already put out a fraction of what Marvel puts out. Wouldn't be surprised if they go all digital for weekly releases and just put out collections in print.

yeah, and they are doing this just weeks before DC Fandom. I do believe they had so many titles it was impossible to follow.

i seen a few note that when the cancel well selling titles it is usually so they can start off with a new creative team and new numbers/volumes but we will see
