Annihilator by Morrison and Irving is definitely worth checking out. Frazer Irving's art is the tits. He's probably my favorite artist in comics today.

And obviously, The Multiversity is great for anybody who likes DC and Morrison.

The latest issue of Endgame was pretty good too.

I'm gonna swing by FP again for some last-minute gift-shopping. I might pick up a few other books for myself. Does anyone have any recommendations? Since I live in Argentina, I'd prefer to stay away from ongoing series (though I did get a few first-issues out of curiosity).

You like Bats right? Batman - The Death of the Family is a good one. Rat Queens is an ongoing but the first trade is out I think. It's a really fun read. If you are looking to check out any more first issues Tooth and Claw and especially Birthright are really good.

I'm ridiculously excited for these. Love EL-P and Killer Mike. RTJ has been my album of the year for the past 2 years.

Also, where is the best place to start reading about Damian's return and his new powers? I lost track of comics for a few months, knew this was happening, but don't know what book(s) it's happening in.

Is this really all that controversial?

Not even a little, but I get why they aren't releasing it. I wish they used it as a cover for a different book, though.

This book looks so fucking cool. 10000% in getting this tomorrow, and it has been years since I've gone to the store for a book.

I was watching Teen Titans Go! with the kids the other day and in one scene there were a bunch of comics all over the ground and I could have sworn one of the them was a Multiversity comic. I'm probably wrong but if not that's pretty awesome to drop that in there like that.

So, these cracked me up. These are porn actors/actresses in comic book porn parodies who have more comic-faithful costumes than the movies.
